The Stars Beyond

Chapter 421: World Threatening Supreme Treasure

"I’m just a living dead person, wasting away in the mortal realm for many years, barely clinging to life. I'm not worthy of your praise," someone from deep within the giant palace responded slowly.

The man in black robes walked forward, with decaying corpses that were all true immortal bodies lining the path. It was quite tragic, almost everyone who insisted on staying had died. Originally, these people had all become immortals. What was the point of staying behind? For the sake of that vague and elusive legend, they ended up in such an undignified state.

The figure in black robes shook his head and looked towards the depths of the giant palace, saying, "Friend, there's no need for modesty. How many people had such great courage throughout history to dare to reside permanently in the mortal realm and to coexist with the physical body.”

Then, he straightaway took out an object that was shining in the void, and said, "I've come here to ask you to fulfill the favor of our old acquaintance."

In the grandeur of the depths of the giant palace, a cold and eerie voice came, saying, "Such a grand spectacle. Tonight, there will be more than one or two unprecedented experts appearing. What is the purpose of all this?"

"I was summoned by an old friend to help him seize a special physical body. And in this world, things are far from as simple as you might imagine. By the way, we might kill a pair of unprecedented companions. Perhaps that is the main purpose of our old friend."

......

......

In the midst of the rain, that furry hand was incredibly huge. It descended from the depths of the dark clouds and caused everyone in the entire An City to feel a sense of suffocation! No matter how great the transcendents were in the past, nothing like this had ever happened. This was a major city with a population in the millions, close to tens of millions. There was actually an unimaginable creature intending to cover an entire city in this twilight of the transcendent era?

"I feel a pain in my chest. What's going on? I'm perfectly fine and I used to be close to the Earth Immortal level. Why do I feel so empty now?" Huang Ming spoke up. He was of the yellow weasel bloodline that had an innate sensitivity that made him feel as if Doomsday were approaching.

"I...... can’t..... breath!" Even the renowned immortal Lady Gu Mingxi felt palpitations and discomfort amidst the downpour.

Perhaps only Zhou Qinghuang dared to make a sarcastic joke with her before the great disaster. "Have a big chest, but dress too tightly."

Gu Mingxi gave her a slap, but she herself staggered. With a sudden shout, Demon Four suddenly stood up and leaped out of the window from the third floor. Instantly, he saw the furry giant hand in the pitch-black night sky and it caused his scalp to tingle.

"The end of the world...... hurry, run!" he yelled.

His main concern was the host body of the Demon Emperor, but as he turned around, he found Wang Xuan to be even faster. He already stood on a high-rise building and was staring into the night sky amidst the pouring rain.

Was this going against the New Covenant of the transcendent?

Wang Xuan was convinced that beings at this level were already considered the top experts in the immortal realm. It might have taken the chance to extend part of its body out when there was a tear in the great veil. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such supreme beings in the real world, nor would there be any rules to support them!

"I......!" Cao Qingyu's face turned pale with horror. He just wanted to have a cup of tea, and now it seemed like the sky was falling. He felt like his whole being would be blasted into bloody pulp, and the entire city was doomed.

He could already imagine the gruesome scene of the end of the world, where the furry giant hand would bury the entire city of An City!

"Run!" shouted Zhou Qinghuang who usually played around. She was fiercely protective of her own life. She dashed out from the tea house and let out a scream. She then grabbed Gu Mingxi, and dashed into the rain.

"We won't make it out of the city in time, let's head underground!" Gu Mingxi shouted. She couldn't remain composed anymore. The rain soaked her clothes, her hair stuck together, and her face was filled with terror.

"Is my dad coming? With such a huge furry claw, posing as if he doesn't recognize me. Does he want to crush me to death too?!" At this critical moment, Qi Liandao, a schizophrenia patient, spoke. His words made a group of terrified transcendents twitch their faces involuntarily amidst despair. Many wanted to laugh, but in the end, they showed expressions even uglier than crying.

"My father is the Demon Ancestor, Qi Yi. Who are you? Are you here to massacre the city? Are you going to exterminate everyone indiscriminately?" Qi Liandao roared. He felt that it was too late for them. Whether they fled the city or hid underground, death was inevitable.

Even in the immortal realm, tens of thousands of miles would vanish with such a giant hand descending like this. People and cities wouldn't just be crushed but simply erased.

"Aren't you leaving?" Demon Four asked as he turned to look at Wang Xuan on the high-rise building.

"Reality is starting to correct itself!" Wang Xuan spoke while holding the Godslaying Banner tightly and staring fixedly at the sky. He had a feeling that this was coming for him. And now, he couldn't escape.He was locked on!

However, no matter what, he couldn't tolerate someone slaughtering an entire city just to capture him! But by the time that furry giant hand descended from the dark clouds, it had already begun to shrink rapidly upon reaching over the city.

Earlier, when the great veil was torn open, the other party reached out from the immortal realm and brought with them endless trans material. The rules radiated from the immortal realm, it was equivalent to the expansion of the transcendence into the mortal world, which is why such a scene could occur. However, the real world was truly terrifying. In an instant, it began to correct itself! The trans material seemed to have been devoured by the black hole of the Old World, and the rules instantly disintegrated. Therefore, that giant hand became blurred and diminished when it was almost touching down.

"After all, you are afraid of breaking the covenant as well. Although the temporary new covenant is crude, it still has some deterrent power over you!" Wang Xuan spoke.

Do you really want to slaughter an entire city? Unless this person has gone mad!

In the twilight of the transcendent era and with the Covenant becoming increasingly loose. The damage inflicted on those outside the great veil by the strong was indeed astonishing. However, it was also possible that someone used a treasure to tear open spacetime!

"Who goes there?!" A majestic voice resounded from above the sky and amidst the thunder. The voice resembled the voice of Heng Jun, even though they were separated by such a distance and while the thunder was still roaring.

With a resounding thud, dazzling light burst forth under the night sky and amidst the rolling dark clouds. It was accompanied by an eruption of endless trans material. The scene resembled the undulating waves of a starry sea that briefly illuminated the night and the pouring rain.

Was someone battling in the clouds?　

Boom!　

In a trance, the dark clouds were seen trembling.The blurry area was fiercely attacked, causing various unexpected occurrences. Then, the expressions of some of the transcendents in An City changed. It was probably really Heng Jun. His last voice was resounding and seemed quite icy.

"This time, I will cut open the great veil and intervene in the mortal world. Is there still someone trying to stop me?!" the voice echoed.

People were convinced that it was indeed him. He was assisting someone in crossing realms and it had indirectly caused the demise of An City by sacrificing it to the owner of that furry giant hand.

Who was trying to stop him?　

"The great universe is correcting itself. Do you think you're strong enough? Even if you forcefully assist others in tearing apart the great veil with treasures, it will all be attributed to you in the end. After the transcendence fades away, you will die a miserable death!" Someone spoke calmly amidst the thunderstorm, but their figure was invisible and impossible to discern.

The torrential rain turned into a soft shower during the conversation. Amidst the dark clouds, the great veil vaguely appeared, and it was indeed Heng Jun. By his side was a man completely covered in golden robes. The face of the man was covered and not revealed .

Heng Jun fell silent for a moment before saying, "I once owed this friend a favor, and I’ll repay it today!"

Upon hearing these words, Wang Xuan, who was in An City, wanted to shout out loud, "It's you again, Heng Jun! How many favors do you owe in total? Last time, you helped Zheng Yuantian, and whom are you helping now?!"

In fact, many transcendents also felt this way. How many favors did Heng Jun owe to the peerless strongmen? The man in the golden robes seemed extraordinary at first glance.

"Debts must be repaid eventually. You're using your future to repay them. The mortal world has remembered you!" Someone spoke coldly, in the rainy night.

"Fear-mongering. I can withstand the cold winter of the transcendent with the Ascension Banner in hand! Regardless, I will assist this friend tonight. Who can stop me?" Heng Jun said coldly. As the first to obtain the treasure, he also had an extraordinary stroke of luck. Tonight, facing that mysterious person in an instructive tone made him uncomfortable.

Boom!

Lightning streaked across the heavens and the earth and illuminated An City. The furry giant hand was still there. It had accelerated its descent and was shrinking significantly. It was reaching towards An City!

"Is it coming for me?" said Wang Xuan, gritting his teeth. If he really had to stake it all, there would be no room for scruples. Today, he could even risk his life with the treasure.

Even if he couldn't do anything to Heng Jun, he would smash his Ascension Banner and leave it for others to grab. There will be destruction for both good and bad, everyone was a loser. There was nothing to lose.

"Hehe......" the mysterious figure clad in golden robes chuckled coldly while he stood beside Heng Jun. They stood above the clouds and within the great veil.

In this situation, with the strong peerless individuals standing before the great veil in the sky, who dared to intervene? Once Heng Jun truly staked it all and unleashed the Ascension Banner, even the most formidable strength wouldn't be able to withstand it. Sure enough, Heng Jun cut through the veil as the furry giant hand reached out. Wielding the Ascension Banner, he confronted and threatened the mysterious expert that was in the rain!

An City was submerged in rain. In the darkness, a suffocating force expanded. It was making people shudder and the pressure of the atmosphere reached its peak. Wang Xuan took a deep breath. With the Godslaying Flag in his hand fluttering and the red substance surging but not unleashed, he was ready to confront the giant hand. The lid was also prepared.

"Who will stop me?" Heng Jun said coldly and mercilessly.

Swoosh!　

The dark night sky between the heavens and the earth was torn apart by a dazzling sword light that streaked across An City. It illuminated the entire sky.

Pluck!

The furry giant hand was severed by someone, and it was dripping with blood as it fell downward.

At that moment, all the transcendents in An City were boiling with excitement. Who was this formidable person? How could they dare to disregard Heng Jun's attitude and directly chop off the furry giant hand that protruded from the great veil?

"I chopped off your claw!" the mysterious person responded calmly.

As lightning flashed and the sword light disappeared, one could see a vague figure standing in the night sky. It was ethereal and unreal, as if it was pasted on the rain curtain.

"I didn't want to resort to bloodshed and I didn't want to kill such a powerful being as you. But since you insist on offending me, you should take on the consequences. I have no choice!" Heng Jun said with a firm and unyielding tone. He prepared to kill the peerless expert to establish his dominance, there was no room for compromise. As he spoke, the Ascension Banner in his hand thrust down and was aiming to obliterate the shadow.

This was his first time being so merciless. He intended to intervene in the mortal world and kill a peerless figure above An City in the Old World! People's scalps tingled. How long had it been since they had witnessed such a grand scene? To use a treasure to kill a supreme powerhouse made many tremble in fear.

"Look here!" Wang Xuan roared. At that moment, he had staked it all. How could he stand by and watch such a formidable person die for blocking Heng Jun? Moreover, he sensed that the shadow in the rain curtain was the man who had helped him yesterday alongside the woman. Wang Xuan would rather expose his treasure than not lend it to this person. He was ready to confront and even kill Heng Jun!
