Chapter 721: Transcending Bloodline

The Great Xia Universe.

Before a certain cosmic wonder.

Inside a droplet-shaped spacecraft, Liu Wei sat cross-legged, contemplating the Laws.

“Now our human race occupies most of the universe… we’ve claimed countless secret realms and wonders… many of which offer opportunities to comprehend the Laws. In the Starlight Civilization era, I couldn’t even smell them—but now…”

Liu Wei gazed at the black hole ahead, perceiving countless Law patterns forming and annihilating within it, his eyes alight with fervor.

“This ‘Black Hole Evolution’ secret realm falls under Blue Star Civilization’s jurisdiction. As a Blue Star native, my application was approved immediately… while the Twelve Realms of Starlight and Deep Sea Civilizations must wait behind me…”

“Ah Xing… he’s already reached the Dao Lord realm.”

Liu Wei still found it unbelievable when he thought of their days as classmates.

Back then, even the Creator of their universe was merely a Law Lord.

Now, within a few thousand years, Liu Wei had full confidence he could fully comprehend a complete Law and attain the Law Lord realm!

“No! I cannot slack off…”

“Blue Star’s resources are now abundant… many elders have already reached the Thirteenth Realm as Law Lords.”

“Though the Insect Civilization has been defeated, it will surely return.”

“To live well, protection alone is not enough—you must possess your own strength!”

Liu Wei stared at the nascent black hole ahead and sank once more into contemplation.

After an unknown length of time, he completed this cultivation session and activated the Grand Void Communication.

Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!

A flood of messages instantly appeared—clearly of the highest priority.

“Xue Ling, what’s going on?”

Liu Wei asked his AI assistant: “Didn’t I tell you to filter out unimportant messages?”

“But… Master, these are all critical messages.”

A tiny, palm-sized white-winged fairy explained, sounding slightly wounded.

“Oh?”

Liu Wei opened one message—and froze.

【Heartfelt Celebration: Our Blue Star Civilization’s First Executive, Lord Fang Xing, Has Ascended to Eternity!】

“Ah Xing… only tens of thousands of years? Already Eternity?”

Liu Wei was stunned: “An Eternal Being… unyielding as sun and moon decay, unextinguished as worlds perish! Even if this Great Xia Universe ends, his life will never reach its end…”

Though he had long known his friend’s achievements far surpassed his own,

Liu Wei never imagined he had reached a height Liu Wei could never hope to glimpse.

“Ah Xing becoming an Eternal Being means Blue Star Civilization now has an Eternal legacy—undoubtedly the pinnacle civilization.”

Liu Wei sighed: “Even if the Insect Civilization returns, we and the Starlight Civilization now both have two Eternal-level powers—at least we’re even.”

“Ah Xing’s rapid breakthrough suggests a great war is near… I must train harder, and strive to break through to Law Lord.”

Just as Liu Wei resolved to do so, he opened his second email—and froze.

【Heartfelt Celebration: Lord Fang Xing Has Eradicated Two Insect Civilization Eternal Beings, Removing the Threat to Human Civilization…】

【Blue Star Alliance Resolution: Designate the ‘Earth Star Day’ of each Cosmic Year as a Universal Holiday, in Honor of Lord Fang Xing’s Outstanding Contributions to Human Civilization…】

…

“We… have won!”

“No need to station heavy troops to guard against the Insects…”

“No need to sacrifice lives on the battlefield…”

“Ha! Lord Fang Xing… truly the light of civilization!”

When news spread that Fang Xing had ascended to Eternity and slain two Insect Civilization Fifteenth Realm beings, all of humanity across the universe erupted in jubilation.

The wails of disgruntled Starlight Civilization elites or the remnants of Beast Civilizations never reached most ears.

No matter how bitter or helpless they were… they could not stop one thing.

A new era—had arrived!

…

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of years passed.

The Great Xia Universe.

“Having become Eternal… have I reached the absolute limit of all realms?”

Fang Xing stared at his palm, feeling a tinge of melancholy.

After breaking through the Fifteenth Realm, he felt his body, soul, and True Spirit had reached a perfect “trinity,” crystallizing into an Eternal Mark.

In essence, among Eternal Beings, only combat power differs—there are no hierarchical realms.

No such thing as Law Lord Sixth Stage or Dao Lord Four Steps exists.

All Eternal Beings share the same realm.

To break through, one must reduce to emptiness and refine a Transcendent Trait.

“Moreover… once reduction to emptiness succeeds and a Filling Daoist is found, one must avoid karmic entanglements—and refrain from acting freely.”

For example, Pan Gu Wu now devoted himself entirely to secluded cultivation in a mysterious space, awaiting his ultimate leap.

The older an Eternal Being, the less they act—even seeking to be “forgotten” by the world and the river of time, to minimize constraints and achieve the ultimate leap!

“It seems I’m still in a good time…”

“The Dao still exists, and I haven’t prepared for Transcendence—so I can act freely.”

Fang Xing thought to himself.

“Of course… if I slay more Demon Sovereigns or Beast Sovereigns, I’ll be close to Transcendence. Huh?”

At that moment, his expression shifted.

The Gate of All Realms hummed faintly, unfolding layers of spacetime to fully shield his true body, leaving only one Eternal Mark resting somewhere in the Qing Yuan Great Realm.

Even with Pan Gu Wu, Fang Xing had never fully opened his heart.

The one who met him was always an Eternal Mark’s avatar.

His true body was hidden within the Great Xia Universe, protected by countless layers of the Gate of All Realms—even Transcendents might not capture his true form.

Qing Yuan Great Realm.

Inside the mysterious space.

Pan Gu Wu had transformed into a giant towering hundreds of thousands of zhang tall, seated cross-legged.

His upper body bore no clothing, revealing muscular, powerful limbs entwined with faint streams of chaotic energy.

He himself was the perfect embodiment of the Pan Wu Dao.

Now, on his chest and arms… were strange purple mystical runes.

These patterns were intricate, profound, radiating faint Transcendent energy, making the giant appear mysterious and illusory.

As if he would vanish into the void at any moment.

Shhh!

A flash of light emerged from the chaotic energy—a single Eternal Mark appeared, taking the form of Fang Xing.

“Congratulations, Master, on assimilating the Transcendent Bloodline and condensing the Transcendent Trait.”

Fang Xing gazed at the complex, profound patterns on the giant’s chest and the vast, terrifying bloodline aura, and smiled in congratulations.

“Hmm…”

The giant spoke, his voice carrying terrifying crimson thunder that tore through the surrounding void: “I intend to Transcend, so I called you here to observe—even if I fail, this will become your foundation for Transcendence.”

This had been agreed upon long ago; Fang Xing naturally had no objection.

Yet seeing this, he frowned: “Master… your mental state?”

Though he had long known assimilating such Transcendent Bloodline would bring severe side effects,

only now, seeing it firsthand, did he realize how extreme they were.

Pan Gu Wu was no weakling among Eternal Beings, yet after assimilating the Transcendent Bloodline, he was inevitably affected.

Even his mental state had changed.

“Is now really the right time to break through?”

Fang Xing questioned.

“It’s unavoidable. I’ve battled the bloodline’s will a hundred million times with my own martial will, barely carving out a sliver of self to control its power… but it will return soon.”

Pan Gu Wu said: “Simply put—my current strength cannot suppress or tame this bloodline for long. I must break through quickly; the longer I wait, the worse it becomes for me. Now is the optimal moment.”

Once Transcendent, suppressing or even expelling this Transcendent Bloodline would be simple.

“I see…”

Fang Xing nodded. He would never doubt Pan Gu Wu’s cultivation—if he believed this was the right moment, then he must break through!

“After the breakthrough, will the source of this bloodline come for you? Even strike during your Transcendence?”

Fang Xing asked another question.

“You need not worry about that…”

Pan Gu Wu’s expression turned strange: “Based on the information I gained battling the bloodline’s will, the origin of this Transcendent blood… should already be dead. Otherwise, even thousands of me would be effortlessly crushed.”

“Transcendents… can die?”

Fang Xing widened his eyes—but was not especially surprised.

At least... when he obtained that drop of blood, he had already formed related suspicions.

How could an Transcendent bleed?

And once a Transcendent bleeds, it signifies injury—possibly severe injury... even death!

“A deceased Transcendent?”

Fang Xing exhaled: “That’s acceptable...”

But soon, he realized and winced: “It seems... the Unsayable Realm beyond Transcendence isn’t necessarily a benevolent place... Transcendent beings still fight among themselves...”

“And a single drop of blood from a dead Transcendent could reduce Pangu Wu to this state... the power of Transcendents exceeds even”

“my imagination.”

Fang Xing looked at Pangu Wu: “When do you plan to transcend?”

“In three days...”

Pangu Wu replied without expression.

Fang Xing nodded, and the avatar formed from the Eternal Seal immediately sat cross-legged, silently waiting.

Meanwhile.

Within the Great Xia Universe.

“Is Pangu Wu preparing to transcend?”

Fang Xing’s true self glanced at his attribute panel:

【Name: Fang Xing】

【Profession: Star Warrior】

【Fifteenth Realm: Eternal】

【Transcendence Trait: Great Divinity, Transcendence (99.99%)】

【Mastered Dao: True Martial】

【Pangu Wu Scripture · Lower Volume: 80000/80000 (Grandmaster）】

【Heart Power: 80000/80000 (Grandmaster）】

【Eternal Unextinguishable Solar King Spell: 19998/20000 (Grandmaster）】

【Gate of All Realms (Charging)】

“After tens of thousands of years of cultivation, my Transcendence trait is just a hair’s breadth from perfection.”

“For this transcendence, I must prepare a trump card to avoid mishaps.”

Fang Xing’s gaze grew solemn: “Being ready to transcend at any moment is enough...”

Though he couldn’t find someone to fill the Dao, as long as his Transcendence trait is strong enough, transcending by sheer force is not impossible!
