Chapter 387: The Return Of Patriarch Wang
The red substance was too violent; once activated, it instantly caused massive waves in the light sea, rendering it impossible to remain calm, especially with various other energies colliding. Upon collision, it was akin to a volcanic eruption.
Under the sea, it was as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting, causing a massive explosion and surging waves.
Wang Xuan "covered" himself with the animal hide, yet his spirit was still overwhelmed by the impact; the energy explosion was too intense, with extraordinary waves crashing towards the sky and hitting the stars.
Fortunately, he captured the golden liquid at the last moment, allowing his entire spirit to immerse in it continuously, healing his injuries.
Suddenly, the towering waves surged, breaking the relative tranquility of the light sea downstream.
On the shore, a figure appeared, her silver dress fluttering as she instantly sent a strand of spiritual thread across the vast distance, pulling Wang Xuan away from above the deep sea.
Fang Yuzhu followed downstream, always in pursuit, and the moment she saw Wang Xuan breaking through the sea surface, she immediately guided him back.
The tumultuous waves of the extraordinary sea downstream naturally attracted attention from afar, with many gazes turning towards them. Although they were far apart, there were no weaklings among the people by the sea, all capable of sensing the commotion.
Under the sea, one after another, large bubbles burst, with various colored energy substances colliding, becoming increasingly astonishing, stirring up turbulence in the extraordinary light sea.
"Huh, he\'s still alive, and he\'s been rescued."
"He seems to have obtained something extraordinary from the deep sea."
For a moment, many people couldn\'t take their eyes off, and many began to act, swiftly approaching. Originally, various factions were vying for treasures, engaging in skirmishes, and bloody incidents often occurred on the seabed. For example, the sacred dragon especially liked to take advantage; when others collected some True Crystals of Creation, it would suddenly descend and snatch away their opportunities.
Wang Xuan emerged from the golden aura enveloping him, clearly having obtained something extraordinary, drawing the attention of many. No longer engaging in clandestine battles and skirmishes, numerous eyes were fixed on him.
At this moment, Fang Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, as she always dreaded seeing those around her perish without being able to intervene. Since the end of the ancient era, the people around her had been relatively safe; few dared to aggressively hunt those she trusted.
However, this situation was different. Most people here didn\'t know her, and the sacred dragon was the first to swoop in, its majestic presence causing the extraordinary ocean to ripple violently with its dragon\'s roar echoing throughout.
The silver-haired youth smiled as he strolled along the shoreline, seemingly calm but exuding the aura of a peerless expert. It was evident he was about to make a move.
Frowning, Wang Xuan realized the formidable nature of the surroundings adjacent to the extraordinary ocean, where the rules of mythology resurfaced, making everyone on the shore incredibly powerful.
Sighing, he remarked, "It seems I can only stay in the sea. The light of the extraordinary ocean doesn\'t recede, and the rules of the extraordinary world won\'t fade away. It\'s not suitable for me to come out."
"I\'ll split off a portion of my divine light and accompany you into the depths of the sea," Fang Yuzhu suggested.
Shaking his head, Wang Xuan replied, "No need. Sister Fang, you stay onshore to deal with the main threats. I\'ll break through underwater and then hunt down the divine light they\'ve split off!"
He reminded Fang Yuzhu to be cautious as there were plenty of powerful individuals on the shore, urging her not to be surrounded.
"I\'ll be fine. With the Divine Slashing Banner in hand, even if I\'m besieged, nothing unexpected will happen," Fang Yuzhu reassured him. She was more concerned about his safety underwater, considering that most of the divine light split off by the strong were not only powerful but also experienced.
Although Wang Xuan was outstanding, facing creatures possibly emerging from the depths, or specters, or incarnations split off by peerless experts, the situation was perilous.
"Don\'t worry, I\'m about to break through. No one dares to use extraordinary rules underwater. It\'s anyone\'s game. Besides, I still have the Slashing Immortal Sword." Wang Xuan waved the iron spear in his hand confidently, then plunged into the shallow sea with a splash, as enemies approached.
The atmosphere on the shore became tense and delicate. Some had their eyes on Fang Yuzhu, secretly conspiring to make a move against her.
"Everyone, calm down!" Zhang Qifan spoke up, dressed in a white coat, though not one of the strongest here, his status was sensitive.
Boom! At this moment, the seabed churned. The monstrous dragon was too fierce, charging forward to snatch Wang Xuan\'s golden primordial liquid.
"You greedy dragon, I\'ll settle the score with you sooner or later!" Wang Xuan evaded confrontation, swiftly retreating into the sea. He believed he wouldn\'t need much time to break through the barrier, as the shaking of the barrier became increasingly intense.
At the same time, he felt somewhat discontented. His return had inadvertently helped these people a great deal. Many of them were at each other\'s throats before, but now all eyes were on him.
Mainly because he was too conspicuous, standing out like a beacon of light. Everywhere he went, brilliant golden substances wafted, unmistakably signaling, "I\'m special now. Come on, hit me, hunt me, snatch my primordial essence."
Thunk! Although the divine dragon\'s avatar had washed away the rules, it was still overwhelmingly powerful, quickly closing the distance. In the sea of light, few could match its speed.
Wang Xuan was taken aback. Was he already about to be caught?
"You foolish dragon, you\'re asking for trouble. You keep trying to steal my primordial essence. Wait to be skinned alive!" Wang Xuan deliberately taunted it, trying to distract its attention.
Because he saw those bubbles containing red substances being washed ashore by the waves from the deep sea.
As he swiftly refined and absorbed the primordial liquid, accelerating his breakthrough, he also devised a plan. He had to slow down the dragon\'s speed, or else he would be caught, hunted down by these formidable adversaries, and meet his demise.
"Come, Rat Dragon, let\'s have our showdown!" Wang Xuan taunted, luring the colossal dragon into the area filled with red bubbles.
His figure swiftly traced an astonishing trajectory, setting off those red bubbles. Although not as large as those in the deep sea, even a small amount of this substance had tremendous destructive power.
A massive explosion ensued, and the dragon rolled out, blood flowing, its divine light diminishing. Its body was pockmarked, nearly severed, and its wings charred.
Those who followed were shocked. This formidable dragon, originally a peerless expert in its true form, was now covered in blood, with a broken horn.
With a bang, Wang Xuan suffered a heavy blow. The silver-haired youth had concealed himself, appearing suddenly and delivering a strike that left a bitter taste of blood in Wang Xuan\'s mouth. However, despite enduring the blow, Wang Xuan managed to thrust his iron spear towards the opponent\'s heart. Unfortunately, the man was too powerful, leaving behind only an afterimage as he was pierced in the shoulder and flew away.
In the next moment, Wang Xuan detonated all the bubbles in the area, taking advantage of the chaos to escape once more.
The dragon roared, writhing in intense pain. After rolling over, its body glowed, and it resumed its pursuit.
The short-haired youth, accompanied by Ah Da and Ah Er, followed leisurely. Those in the rear also joined the chase.
"Breakthrough!" Wang Xuan, in a sorry state, absorbed the dazzling golden primordial liquid desperately, shuttling back and forth between the deep and shallow seas, breaking through barriers and fleeing.
"Not bad at all. This primordial substance has excellent effects. Even after the decay of myths, this material likely retains some extraordinary power!" someone exclaimed with excitement. Just now, when Wang Xuan was briefly intercepted again, he was hit by the dragon\'s tail, and a few specks of golden substance flew off his body.
"Hurry up, loosen up for me! Open the barrier to the realm of Immortality!" Wang Xuan muttered lowly, rushing through the barriers in his escape. There was no other choice; only by breaking through could he change the situation.
He was confident that once he stepped into the higher realm in this special place, he would no longer fear these people and could truly change the course of events!
In fact, a great battle erupted on the shore, intertwining extraordinary rules and becoming even more terrifying, shaking the very heavens!
However, as the light sea spread, about to assimilate the extraordinary rules, the aura of the peerless experts all disappeared.
He believed he had absorbed enough of the golden primordial liquid; most of it had already been consumed. In theory, he should be able to break through the barrier.
However, he soon realized that haste makes waste. His mind was not calm enough. In the midst of being pursued relentlessly, his mental fluctuations were too violent, conflicting with the essential teachings of certain scriptures.
"In this world, there is only me. What I see, what I feel, it\'s all illusion. Where are the dragons? They\'re nothing but creatures I molded from clay."
"Where is the silver-haired youth? Just a bubble I blew with soap. It\'ll burst at the snap of my fingers."
"And there are no heroes; they\'re just stick figures I drew on paper. What significance do they hold?"
At a critical moment, Wang Xuan resorted to a scripture meant for those with severe mental illness. Instead of delving into its highest level of meaning, he used it for brainwashing, hypnosis, to calm himself and avoid agitation.
Initially, it was effective, calming his mind, and the barrier seemed to loosen, as if on the verge of breaking.
Unfortunately, he was caught up and beaten. He was swiped by the dragon\'s claw, punched by the silver-haired youth, shot by an elven maiden, and hit in the chest by a green light from a laughing green-skinned demon.
Wang Xuan snapped out of it, unable to maintain the mentality of a severely mentally ill person, and resumed his arduous escape.
"I\'m not like Old Zhang, a diagnosed mental patient. I\'ll stop practicing that scripture for now. I am who I am, at my strongest, most real state, breaking through the barriers regardless of pain or pursuit. I\'ll face it all head-on, breaking through all obstacles, forcefully advancing!"
Wang Xuan adjusted his mindset. He believed that the mental illness scripture he had practiced before was a form of escapism. Now, covered in wounds and with his divine blood spilled, he faced it fearlessly, experiencing it in his true state, forcefully pushing through.
In the end, he had fully assimilated the essence of the golden primordial liquid, refining it rapidly until it was completely consumed.
Just then, he heard a cracking sound from within his body, as if a massive barrier had cracked and shattered. He stopped, stretching his limbs, and erupted in dazzling light. He had finally broken through, the resounding roar echoing incessantly in his ears.
Wang Xuan ceased his escape, experiencing the sensation of this overwhelming power surging within him, sequentially activating several supreme scriptures.
"Is this the realm of transcendence? It doesn\'t matter. I\'ve indeed shattered that sturdy ceiling, surged upward, and successfully broken through the barrier!"
Wang Xuan swiftly turned around, facing his pursuers.
In an instant, he left behind a residual image, lunging towards the elven expert. With a crisp snap, he snapped her neck directly, then shattered her physical body, causing her divine light to scatter.
In the next moment, he pounced on the colossal dragon, catching it off guard. In a fierce struggle, his iron spear pierced one of its eyes with a sharp "pu" sound.
The divine dragon roared furiously, glowing all over as it momentarily broke free from him, teleporting away to a nearby location, glaring back at him.
"This feeling is quite exhilarating!" Wang Xuan muttered, his killing intent erupting fiercely. He lifted his head, brandishing the "Immortal Slayer Sword," advancing forward with determination.
