Stronger from Earth

The unexpected intervention of Celestial Gold was astonishing. His aggressive power was so formidable that it made many Immortals frown. One could not deny, this was a rare prodigy.

Even in Earth Civilization, this was the level of a sect’s Saint Heir, enough to draw attention.

Any cultivator at the peak of the Celestial Tier, when faced with such a formidable opponent, must treat it seriously.

However, at this moment, Celestial Gold’s opponent was Wang Xuan!

Thus, apart from watching intently, no one felt tense or worried, because the power of the Immortal Martial Taoist was something his peers could only dream of reaching.

As Celestial Gold charged forward, his blood seemed to boil with excitement and valor. He attacked with full force, holding back nothing.

’I must see how the legendary Immortal Martial Taoist truly differs!

Today, I shall sever emotional ties for my cousin and compensate for Diyang Wushuang’s dissatisfaction!’

In the blink of an eye, Celestial Gold had dashed to within a hundred feet of Wang Xuan, a distance that was uncomfortably close for a Celestial Immortal.

His Void-Breaking Sword Aura that could cleave through the void had already descended upon Wang Xuan’s head. In just another blink, it could cut through Wang Xuan’s defenses and split the Immortal Martial Taoist in two.

At that instant, not only was Celestial Gold extremely excited, but the people from the Celestial Divine Realm were also cheering, "Good! Catch him off guard, seriously injure him first!"

On the battlefield, no one cares about catching someone off guard or who strikes first or last. Victory is victory! Defeat is defeat!

Death is the most silent judge.

The people of Immortal Martial Mountain were anxious, fearing that something unexpected might happen to Wang Xuan.

"Wang Xuan was too confident, allowing this person to strike first." Someone frowned, sensing the situation was not favorable.

But would Wang Xuan allow the unexpected to happen?

At this moment, Wang Xuan merely pointed, and in an instant, a ray of Spiritual Light shot towards Celestial Gold, completely enveloping this prodigy of the Celestial Divine Realm.

Wang Xuan’s Time Domain had taken effect. All things in the front region slowed down, Celestial Gold’s heartbeat, his movements, and even the charging Void-Breaking Sword Aura...

Everything played as if someone had pressed the slow-motion button, proceeding at one percent of the usual speed.

This was the Time Domain, capable of accelerating the flow of time by hundreds or even thousands of times, making a flower bloom within a breath, or slowing down time and stealing away worldly time.

In a battle of equals, if your actions and reactions are slower by hundreds of times, or even by thirty to fifty percent, that is a fatal gap.

After the Time Domain enveloped Celestial Gold, Wang Xuan took one slow step, leisurely strolling away from the sharp Sword Aura, reaching Celestial Gold.

Then, he launched a punch.

In the blink of an eye, the Divine Dragon Armor shattered into countless fragments, Celestial Gold’s fractured chest bones pierced through his organs, and blood gushed from his mouth.

Unable to withstand Wang Xuan’s unparalleled punch, Celestial Gold was sent flying backward like a meteor soaring into the sky.

In a breath, the tables turned. Celestial Gold, who had the upper hand, suffered a crushing defeat!

"What happened?"

The Celestial God Race’s experts reached out to support Celestial Gold. In their eyes, he was still attacking, but suddenly became motionless, standing there vacantly, becoming a living target for Wang Xuan.

Splutter!!!

Celestial Gold, now outside the Time Domain, coughed up blood, utterly baffled about what had happened.

He had clearly been on the offensive, when suddenly, Wang Xuan’s movements accelerated by a thousandfold, leaving him completely unable to react.

At this moment, he did not know where the problem lay, nor what methods Wang Xuan had used.

"You lost."

After delivering a single severe punch, Wang Xuan gracefully left, not throwing a second punch.

For that punch alone knocked Celestial Gold’s physique down two levels, and the inherent Power of Creation slashed away thirty to forty percent of Celestial Gold’s lifespan.

The losses from this battle, Celestial Gold could never recover in his lifetime.

Diyang Wushuang, watching the defeated Celestial Gold, grasped him and poured in his own Immortal Source generously to stabilize Celestial Gold’s injuries.

After a dozen breaths passed, Diyang Wushuang’s expression turned sour, discovering he couldn’t heal Celestial Gold’s wounds.

Celestial Gold’s physique strength silently collapsed, and his Life Force plummeted significantly, clearly a major injury to his core.

The geniuses in the Celestial Divine Realm exchanged countless words through the clash of the Light of their Primordial Spirits:

"What kind of method was that? Was it an Innate Divine Technique or a Forbidden Secret Technique?" Tian Sha believed himself no worse than Celestial Gold but was confused at this moment.

Undoubtedly, if he had been the one on the stage, the crushing defeat would have been equally unavoidable.

Night Sea Cinnabar sighed with regret: "Celestial Gold had already mastered the Celestial God Race’s Forbidden Secret Technique, capable of summoning the godly shadow of that demigod being.

It’s a pity that he couldn’t use it before he was defeated. What a pity."

Diyang Qing Light said solemnly, "The fear is that even if he had used that Forbidden Secret Technique, he would still lose, which would be even more disgraceful."

His talent was second only to Diyang Wushuang, a notable prodigy within the Celestial Divine Realm, and he now harbored a faint suspicion.

This utterly overwhelming power matched the rumored display of a "Domain," but Domain Power he had mostly only seen in the Void True Immortals, with only a few peak geniuses at the Star Lord level capable of comprehending it.

As for the Grotto Void level, in the last hundreds of thousands of years, only Diyang Wushuang had managed to comprehend it.

When Diyang Wushuang comprehended the power of Domain, he was immediately titled the number one youth seed by the family elders and given full-scale nurturing.

The morale in the Celestial Divine Realm noticeably dropped, while the Immortals of Immortal Martial Mountain laughed heartily, joyous at the victory of their first battle.

Wang Xuan naturally seized the opportunity to pursue his victory. Floating in mid-air, arms crossed behind his back, he spoke with disappointment, "I thought it would be an epic battle, but you turned out to be so weak. I’m very disappointed."

It seemed in his eyes that the genius of the Celestial God Race was so weak that it failed to pique his interest.

Already gravely injured, Celestial Gold, hearing these words, was infuriated, pointing repeatedly at Wang Xuan, "You? You! You!!!"

Celestial Gold wished to angrily retort, but how could he boast of his strength after such a defeat? How could he claim to be a renowned genius in the Celestial Divine Realm?

Severely injured and fiercely irritated, he spat out large mouthfuls of blood, his chaotic Primordial Spirit Fire fiercely burning, further exacerbating his injuries.

Ignoring the defeated, Wang Xuan turned his gaze to the other three peak Celestial Tier geniuses of the Celestial Divine Realm.

"I suppose defeating just one of you, Celestial Gold, does not convince you. In that case, you three can come up together." Wang Xuan pointed three times, openly challenging Tian Sha, Night Sea Cinnabar, and Diyang Qing Light.

The three, seeing Wang Xuan intending to fight one against three, were exceptionally angry, even as they remained wary of him.

For geniuses like them, combat was always one against many, or challenging a higher realm. Going one-on-one was already their baseline.

If they needed to team up against an opponent of the same realm, it meant admitting inferiority.

Wang Xuan’s willingness to face them three at once was outright contemptuous, an unspoken humiliation.

The people of Immortal Martial Mountain laughed continuously, unwilling to miss this chance to suppress the Celestial Divine Realm’s side.

"The Taoist kindly offers his guidance, aren’t you going to thank him?"

"Rest assured, when you three join forces, the Taoist will hold back, no need to fear."

"Hurry up and take the stage, let me see how much substance the Celestial Divine Realm’s prodigies really have!"

...

Amidst laughter and banter, the cheery atmosphere swept away the previous gloom and tension, as if returning to the joyous times of a wedding.
