Chapter 344: Fourth-Transcendence Total Annihilation! Several Eras!

'Disappeared?'

Watching Fang Can vanish without a trace, all the martial artists fell silent for an instant.

Immediately after, a strong sense of relief erupted from the bottom of their hearts.

Fourth-Transcendence martial artists are all beings with their own intense personalities; that is a powerful personality obsession.

Even Yang Xiao felt pressure from having an Immortal pressing down on her head.

Although this did not affect her loyalty, with Fang Can's departure, she could not help but feel a trace of comfort.

But immediately after, new doubts arose: Did Fang Can really leave?

Before this thought could spread, a series of light laughs issued from a woman's mouth.

'Hahaha, that Immortal Master has finally left,' a woman clad in medieval armor said lightly.

Her name was Delice; she was not a Fourth-Transcendence from the Central Plains, but a Fourth-Transcendence martial artist discovered later by Yang Xiao and others on other continental civilizations.

With her were seven or eight Fourth-Transcendence martial artists from all over the world, each laughing with a relaxed expression.

'Delice, Anifa, what is there to laugh about?' Yang Xiao said coldly.

'Nothing meaningful; I just think we should properly discuss the matter of distributing the Human Realm,' Anifa said with a cold sneer.

'We clearly possess such immense power; we cannot always remain subservient to others.'

Delice clenched her fist lightly and said, 'The strong ought to possess everything; those people only need to submit to us.'

Her words caused a silence around them.

The thousand-plus martial artists of the Road to Heaven present all agreed with these words in their hearts, but felt these words were spoken a bit too hastily.

But in the next moment, the brows of everyone present knitted together slightly.

Because they saw countless rocks and gunpowder flying toward them in space.

'Look, these former Transparent Faction members have launched a war against us,' Delice sneered:

'Taking advantage of our gathering here while waiting for Fang Can to leave, they are preparing a final desperate struggle and launching a rebellion against us.'

'Those martial artists must have come up via the space elevators we built in various places; indeed, such Immortal-Ascending Channels must be firmly grasped in our hands.'

Delice and the other martial artists watched the rocks constantly flying toward them from a distance and could not help but sneer.

It seemed they had been too gentle for too long, allowing these mortals to harbor the delusion of competing with them.

Such mortal attacks could be easily annihilated with just a flick of a finger.

But as Delice's expression shifted, she noticed paper embedded in the rocks—the 'Surrender Document'.

With a hint of hesitation, she actively pulled that rock closer.

But in the next moment, the faces of everyone present turned fearful.

Because they could feel their internal power returning at a mad speed.

Although they were in space, it was as if they had returned to the ground.

Some First-Transcendence and Second-Transcendence practitioners, exposed to outer space, began to suffer from inconsistent internal and external pressure, unable to breathe in pain as their blood began to boil.

'What is going on?' Instinctively, Delice panicked and tried to speak via Heart-Image.

But she horrifiedly discovered that the Heart-Image could not transmit outward at all; simultaneously, she lost her flight ability, and her voice could not propagate due to the vacuum of outer space.

In an instant, this group of martial artists present had become lambs awaiting slaughter in this space.

The answer was—Sixth-Transcendence Restriction!

After arriving in this world, Fang Can had been curious: How exactly does this Sixth-Transcendence Restriction work?

Martial artists entering within ten thousand meters of the planet would be suppressed.

Then, if the planet were split in half, would this planet's restriction still take effect?

Where exactly is this Sixth-Transcendence restriction carved? Is it on the concept of an entire planet or on certain substances?

Out of curiosity, Fang Can prepared to use scientific thinking to explore the issue of this restriction.

Therefore, one day, Fang Can launched an attack from outer space toward the empty earth, constantly digging deep into the crust.

Finally, after penetrating several thousand meters beneath the surface, he discovered a green, glowing stone never seen before.

The entire mantle was almost filled with this stone, hard as diamond, visible everywhere.

As long as one carried this stone, even if only inhaling its powder, a martial artist would still be suppressed and suffer severe rejection reactions even if they ran to outer space.

Due to its special effect on martial artists and being the first discoverer, Fang Can named it 'Kryptonite'.

Of course, if you insist on calling it 'Sea Cloud Stone', that is also acceptable.

The larger the piece of Kryptonite, the greater the range it can influence and radiate.

Because the mantle is filled with this stone, the area within ten thousand meters of the surface is all affected by the Kryptonite range.

Clearly, this stone is where the Sixth-Transcendence Restriction was placed.

Fang Can guessed that originally this stone should have been a single block; after the Sixth-Transcendence Restriction was placed upon it, Ying Han shattered it and stuffed it into the planet's mantle.

And at this moment, those martial artists, using ropes and other tools to remotely bind Kryptonite into the atmosphere, directly swung the ropes at more than ten times the speed of sound, hurling the Kryptonite along with various Kryptonite fragments and powder toward the Fourth-Transcendence.

In the case of a first-meeting kill, the unprepared Fourth-Transcendence practitioners one by one lost their power to summon wind and rain, their strength falling back to the bottom.

'You are not great; humanity is great!'

In the distance, the woman appointed by Fang Can as Empress of the Empire spoke coldly through Heart-Image, her expression indifferent.

As she spoke, the surrounding martial artists used Kryptonite powder to fill the area where the Fourth-Transcendence martial artists were located.

Reality will not be like the Justice League movie version; a recovered Superman will not give Batman a chance to fire a second Kryptonite bullet.

All of this was built upon the first-meeting kill brought by intelligence killing.

If the Fourth-Transcendence practitioners back then had been a bit more careful, exploding these Kryptonite bullets a hundred meters away instead of curiously wanting to see the content of the surrender document on the rocks, their situation would have been very dangerous.

Once these Fourth-Transcendence practitioners escape this time, what follows will be a mad retaliation.

At that time, they could only choose to fill the near-Earth orbit of the entire planet with Kryptonite dust like space debris, attempting to force these Fourth-Transcendence practitioners off the planet by means of mutual destruction.

'But at least I have not disappointed the Immortal Master's expectations,' the Empress thought, looking at the martial artists in the distance, their bodies filled with kryptonite powder.

From then on, this scene was recorded in the annals of history.

With Fang Can's disappearance as the dividing line, the era of serving the Empire was completely split apart.

From the founding of the Empire of Service by Fang Tian Di to his departure, the period was later called the Golden Age.

This was the Empire's common people's first and most beautiful era.

Humans lived in harmony, united as one, minds interconnected, life abundant and in harmony with the gods.

The Empire's foundational technology was developed during these 30 days.

And from Fang Can's disappearance until the death of the last Wallfacer, it was called the Silver Age.

During this period, the people lost the ability of mind interconnection, and suspicion and internal strife once again filled the space between people.

But because the female officials appointed by Fang Can as Wallfacers performed their duties diligently and were not corrupt.

Therefore, the living standards between people remained within a small gap, while technology was vigorously developed, successfully reaching the level of interstellar travel within several hundred years.

And with the death of the last Wallfacer, the end of the Silver Age was completely declared, replaced by the Bronze Age.

In this era, the Fourth Turn, once suppressed, regained power.

Humans became warlike and cruel, and the wealth gap between people expanded rapidly.

Although entering the interstellar age, the lower classes still faced the possibility of being unable to satisfy their basic needs for food and warmth, and ultimately, over 3000 years, split into several different federations.

From then on, the Heroic Age of federal fragmentation began.

In this generation, female heroes emerged in droves.

A martial artist named Kong Qiu called on everyone to restore ancient systems and, in this era of collapsed rites and broken music, emulate the Golden Age by establishing mind links.

For this, Kong Qiu traveled around the major federations aboard a starship, but was driven out everywhere.

In this era, the only place where the Golden Age could perhaps be found was in the statue of Fang Can.
