Chapter 564 - 552: So It Was You?!
Wang Xuan looked at the Desirer with great interest and said calmly, "Alright, then let’s first talk about your purpose."
These alien races have resorted to all means to enter the Canglan Realm, even going so far as to stage a dragon-slaying incident.
Yet this wasn’t enough; the Desirer even held a trial conference publicly in front of millions of cultivators and almost managed to deceive everyone.
If he were truly successful, not only would the faces of the two Immortal influences be trampled by alien races, but even Earth civilization would lose face completely.
With such twists and turns, such risky tactics, what the Desirer seeks must not be trivial.
The Desirer smiled faintly, "Indeed, what exactly am I seeking?"
"Since its development, the Abyss Realm has had dozens of subordinate worlds, numerous Immortals, always the conquerors."
"Who would have thought that the Abyss Realm could be coveted by other civilizations one day?"
"The Gate of the World connects the Abyss Realm and Earth, and the final outcome between both sides is either you die or I perish; it’s a brutal survival battle."
"I come to Earth, besides destroying Earth and letting the Abyss Realm devour Earth’s essence to strengthen my Abyss Realm, what else would I seek?"
Having said that, he glanced at everyone, his gaze pausing on Yuan Sheng for a moment before settling on the three Half-Step Immortals including Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable.
"As cultivators, the desire has always been the leap of life’s essence, everything else is illusory."
"I know that if I abandon the Mother Realm Abyss and explore the All Heavens, I wouldn’t need to risk venturing into Earth civilization."
"But if the Abyss Realm suffers a loss, I risk the danger of falling in realm, and my life potential would plummet, with no hope for a higher realm in the future."
"The Abyss Realm only has one battle, and so do I."
The Desirer coldly looked at everyone; the cosmos is vast and endless, yet among civilizations most abide by the cold, dark law of survival, either becoming a hunter or prey upon contact.
"Longevity Taoist, Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable, aren’t you the same? Isn’t Earth civilization the same?"
This answer was unexpected yet also anticipated by everyone.
Everyone present understood the predicament of Earth civilization, hence they fight hard, experiencing various battles on the battlefield.
Just not expecting that from the perspective of the Abyss Realm, from the perspective of a character like the Desirer, the predicament is the same.
Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable said coldly, "In All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, it’s always the survival of the fittest. Since the Abyss Realm chooses to become Earth civilization’s enemy and refuses to integrate, it can only be crushed!"
The worlds devoured by Earth civilization are numerous; some of their internal beings have perished along with the Mother Star, some have integrated into Earth civilization.
Beings like the Desirer, refusing to bow their heads, naturally cannot avoid a battle with the strong of Earth civilization!
"Ultimately, it’s a battle for survival, a battle of interests, a battle of Dao." The Desirer said expressionlessly.
At their level, they naturally don’t worry about who’s right or wrong, nor care about others’ thoughts.
Their future journey of life is about seeking Dao, the place of Dao is where they reside.
Apart from this, there’s nothing else.
Wang Xuan scrutinized the numerous Flood Dragons from the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, checking their true identities one by one and gradually filtering out the alien races among them.
It wasn’t long before he found out hundreds of alien races below True Tier, suppressed them and had them imprisoned by the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
Only then did Wang Xuan speak to the Desirer, "I want to know about the Canglan Realm, as for the rest, I’ll listen when I have time."
They’ve been talking off-topic for quite a while; is the Desirer just trying to stall for time? Unfortunately, the more he delays, the less hope he has.
The Desirer said faintly, "The matter of the Canglan Realm is simple. We’ve heard that the Immortal Martial Taoist is about to participate, and want to lay some groundwork to take advantage of the opportunity to kill him."
Kill the Immortal Martial Taoist?
Upon hearing this, everyone’s pupils shrank; the Immortal Martial Taoist is the pride of the Immortal Martial Mountain, even the foremost among the younger generation of Earth civilization!
When the Four Realms Envoy visited Earth civilization, the Immortal Martial Taoist personally suppressed Diyang Wushuang of the Celestial Divine Realm, his terrifying strength and heaven-defying talent shocked the world.
If the Desirer succeeds, perhaps the Immortal Martial Taoist really would be in danger.
The Desirer looked regretful:
"The potential of the Immortal Martial Taoist is terrifying; in a few years, he’ll probably ascend to Half-Step Immortal, and it’s only a matter of time before he becomes a top figure in the Immortal Domain."
"If such a person isn’t killed early, he’ll surely become another Martial Immortal in the future, making him a formidable enemy for my Abyss Realm."
Even though the Immortal Martial Taoist is now only at Grotto Void Peak, a character like the Desirer still feels worried, even fearful!
The growth speed of the Immortal Martial Taoist is too fast, and more frighteningly, despite such cultivation speed, the Immortal Martial Taoist remains the strongest in the same realm.
Moreover, it’s unclear how many powerful Otherworld beings have already fallen to the hands of the Immortal Martial Taoist.
If he grows up, what then?
Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable glanced sharply, deducing the possibility of this matter, and had to admit that the Desirer’s words held seventy percent truth.
Senior Brother Wu Zhutian sitting in the VIP seats, originally looking like a passerby, now couldn’t help feeling scared, breaking out in a cold sweat.
With Immortals watching over Earth Mother Star, the possibility of Wang Xuan Junior Brother falling is extremely low, but if set in the Canglan Realm, then should the Desirer act, there’s truly a possibility Wang Xuan might fall.
Wang Xuan gazed at the Desirer, first contemplative, then smiling, earnestly saying to the Desirer, "I don’t believe what you said."
The Desirer looked surprised, "Why don’t you believe it?"
Wang Xuan’s figure suddenly transformed, shifting from the guise of Longevity Taoist back to his original form.
Wang Xuan declared with confidence and boldness, "Because I am the Immortal Martial Taoist!"
He used himself as bait, fishing countless times; how could the alien race possibly fall for it again?
What’s more, if truly targeting himself, he would have realized it already.
Wang Xuan said calmly, "If you really wanted to kill me, you wouldn’t say it out loud, nor would need such tricks; you’d just find an opportunity to ambush me, right?"
Seeing Longevity Taoist suddenly transform back into Immortal Martial Taoist Wang Xuan, the Desirer was exceedingly surprised.
"It’s you?" The Desirer was incredulous, his mind racing with thoughts, "So it’s you."
Mastering the Path of Creation and the Path of Time, he should have guessed it was Immortal Martial Taoist Wang Xuan; in all Earth civilization, only he excels in these two Paths.
The Desirer just didn’t expect Wang Xuan’s growth speed to be so rapid. When he suppressed Diyang Wushuang, his Path of Creation and Path of Time just had Condensing Domain.
Only a few days had passed, and he’d already refined Rule Runes, making his overall strength and Divine Techniques count among the outstanding Void Cultivators.
At this moment, the Desirer truly felt regretful; he’d set his sights on the Immortal Martial Taoist too late. If only he’d acted a few years earlier...
