Stronger from Earth

The tall and stalwart Wang Xuan, dressed in a soft robe, still carried the scent of baby milk because the child often climbed up and down on him.

With a faint smile on his face, accompanied by a trace of casual elegance, Wang Xuan appeared to be just an ordinary young father, not so magnificently imposing.

It seemed that he had just been taking care of his child, immersed in the worries and happiness of new fatherhood, with little time for cultivation, hence his hurried appearance upon encountering a foe.

"Junior brother is here." Senior brother Wu Zhutian smiled; with little junior brother around, who among the aliens could be his opponent in the same realm?!

Morgan Valve Master said to He Fang, "You have a good disciple. He was recently married and had a child, but upon hearing of the sect’s troubles, he stepped forward without hesitation. He is indeed the Immortal Martial Taoist."

Wang Xuan’s arrival caused many eager Earth prodigies to hold back their impulse to make a move.

If they were prodigies, then Wang Xuan was the prodigy among prodigies, the genius among geniuses, the strongest in the same realm!

Because he, yet to achieve immortality, could leave his Heaven and Earth Seal—a feat unprecedented in history.

Around Diyang Wushuang were Divine Dragons, Vermilion Birds, White Tigers, Qilins, and other divine beasts, each comparable to a Peak of Grotto Void True Immortal, demonstrating the demeanor of a prodigy.

He scrutinized Wang Xuan, slightly furrowing his brow, unwilling to believe this seemingly ordinary man was the legendary Immortal Martial Taoist, who in six years transcended from Body Refining Seventh Realm to Peak of Celestial Tier.

Diyang Wushuang turned his head to his beloved Tianwei, only to see Shoujo Wei, who was staring intently at Wang Xuan, losing her Celestial Race noblewoman image.

Upon seeing Wang Xuan, Shoujo Wei recalled her days as a captive. This man, who was annoying yet not thoroughly bad, had bullied her many times back then.

However, for some reason, after seeing Wang Xuan again, she no longer resented him, but rather felt a gentle admiration for this amazing young man with demonic talent and extraordinary will, who climbed step by step to the peak.

She knew that Wang Xuan was not shining in the past, just a common man, but through his efforts, he reached where he is today, allowing the woman who shared his hardships to beam with pride, making his mentors proud and the sect satisfied.

This man, from a piece of unpolished jade, gradually polished into something grand, like a radiant and warming sun.

Even if at the moment he seemed ordinary and unremarkable, she revered and admired Wang Xuan, who could ascend and conceal freely like a Divine Dragon.

From Wang Xuan, she saw the shadow of the Immortals.

Wang Xuan’s gaze fell upon Shoujo Wei, seeing her dressed in splendid attire, like a Celestial Maiden descending from the Ninefold Celestial Palace, lofty and coldly stunning, evoking untouchable reverence.

"Is it you?"

A few smiles appeared in Wang Xuan’s eyes. When he traveled to the Evolution Realm years ago, he thought the restriction left on Shoujo Wei had broken unexpectedly, fearing she encountered unforeseen events, yet everything seemed to have turned out well.

To be honest, he found it difficult to associate the Celestial Maiden before him with the once unfortunate Shoujo Wei.

Back then, she was like a fallen Phoenix, embarrassed yet cautious; now, she was proud and confident, attracting all eyes as if she came from noble celestial lineage.

"Greetings, Immortal Martial Taoist." Shoujo Wei gracefully smiled, lifting her skirt slightly. "I heard you recently married but have yet to offer my congratulations."

Wang Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, chuckling lightly, "Just married, just had a child, indeed it’s joyous."

However, with the Celestial Divine Realm’s presence threatening today, the festive atmosphere felt thoroughly dampened.

To the jealous and enraged Diyang Wushuang, the gaze exchange between the two appeared as communicating affection, making Diyang Wushuang feel a burning jealousy.

He snorted coldly, mocking, "I thought the famed Immortal Martial Taoist was some godly figure, but turned out to be just a common man with a wife and child, warming the bed."

Proud as he was, even without formal engagement or ambivalence with Tianwei, his possessiveness already regarded this woman as his own.

Moreover, with the Celestial Divine Realm visiting so aggressively, opposing Earth Civilization, there was no need for courtesy.

Wang Xuan glanced at him, naturally perceiving the jealousy and anger in Diyang Wushuang’s eyes, saying calmly, "Is there a need for verbal advantage? Everything will be clear in combat later."

"Your Highness Diyang, why would such a trivial boy require you to act? We are more than capable of crushing him!"

Behind Diyang Wushuang, someone spoke loudly; it was Celestial Gold from the Celestial God Race, renowned among geniuses, only second to a few of the Diyang Clan.

Besides Celestial Gold, along with True Tier and Celestial Tier prodigies invited by the Celestial Divine Realm Immortals, there were over a dozen, mostly from the Celestial God Race, Night Sea Race, and Diyang Divine Race.

These people, no matter each one’s legend-like life trajectory, such as vast family background, miraculous birth, unparalleled talent, record-breaking cultivation, cross-realm enemy-slaying, and so on, they are all illustrious geniuses in the Celestial Divine Realm.

In the Celestial Divine Realm, which possesses True God-level existences, they are so outstanding that when they arrived at the Earth Civilization, where True Gods have yet to emerge, they naturally appeared arrogant and dismissed Earth’s geniuses.

Even the Immortal Martial Mountain Daoist, a representative figure of Earth’s youth generation with great fame, is viewed as a mere country bumpkin by them.

"Confidence is good, just hope your strength matches, otherwise I’ll be disappointed." Wang Xuan was rather eager to meet the geniuses of the Celestial Divine Realm.

With the Creation Domain and Time Domain embedded in his dual pupils, Wang Xuan sensed the cultivation levels of the opposing crowd.

Celestial Gold, at the Peak of Celestial Tier, with a strong physique, decent Primordial Qi and Primordial Spirit strength, possibly having broken personal limits several times. However, hasn’t deeply unified Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and far from walking one’s own Dao, let alone opening up a domain.

Celestial Sand, at the Peak of Celestial Tier, with acceptable physique and Primordial Qi, and some mutation in Primordial Spirit, likely holding a trump card in this area, his strength comparable to Celestial Gold.

Night Sea Cinnabar, at the Peak of Celestial Tier, with an average physique but outstanding Primordial Qi and Primordial Spirit, stronger than the previous two by a margin.

Diyang Qing Light, at the Peak of Celestial Tier, with exceptional physique, Primordial Qi, and Primordial Spirit, all three highly unified, making him the strongest amongst the four Celestial Tier peaks, possibly the ace in this realm within the Celestial Divine Realm.

However, that’s about it.

It’s Diyang Wushuang leading, whose cultivation has reached the Peak of Grotto Void True Immortal, with faint celestial light of a domain around him, evidently having opened his own domain.

To open a unique domain proves he is a top genius, with a future easily becoming Immortal.

Note that Wang Xuan himself has only condensed two domains.

The others from Immortal Martial Mountain would likely struggle against Diyang Wushuang.

Today’s battle is unavoidable, so let him lead for an auspicious start.

Wang Xuan suspended in the air, his gaze suddenly became sharp and full of aggressive spirit: "The Immortal Martial Taoist is here, who comes to face death?"

If today they aren’t defeated into disarray, how would Immortal Martial Mountain save face? How would he, as the Immortal Martial Taoist, position himself?

In this battle, Wang Xuan has the heart of certain victory.

Facing this Immortal Martial Mountain Daoist, nearly crowned as the foremost of Earth’s young generation, the celestial geniuses of the Celestial Divine Realm were eager to try.

Defeating Wang Xuan would allow them to tread on his reputation in pursuit of their own glory.

At that time, not only would it dampen the morale of the Earth Civilization, but they would also gain favor from the powerful ones in the Celestial Divine Realm, paving a boundless future.

"Kid, the one to defeat you today is the Celestial God Race’s Celestial Gold." Celestial Gold pointed his sword at Wang Xuan, his face full of desire for victory, radiating arrogance and confidence.

Shoujo Wei never expected her brother to choose to fight, she wanted to speak but hesitated, her eyes filled with deep concern.

This look made Diyang Wushuang discontented, this woman, is she still worried about Wang Xuan?!

"Celestial Gold, don’t hold back in this attack." Diyang Wushuang instructed expressionlessly, if not for his higher realm, unable to face each other on the Same Realm, he would personally take action to kill this man.

"Naturally." Celestial Gold said seriously, already having tuned to peak state.

After years of cultivating the Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art, his physique was tremendously robust, a surge of vital energy soared and transformed into a ferocious Divine Dragon, swallowing large amounts of spiritual power, eventually forming armor attached to Celestial Gold’s body.

Clad in Divine Dragon Armor, Celestial Gold’s two-handed sword glimmered, Sword Qi slicing through space, creating faint tears in space.

After preparing, Celestial Gold attacked without hesitation, his sword breaking through space toward Wang Xuan.

Under one sword, Sword Qi fell like a meteor, the space was split open like flowing water, astonishing all present with its might.

Note, most Grotto Void True Immortals, need some time of practice to touch spatial power, yet Celestial Gold’s sword could tear through space.

Undoubtedly, even though he is still in the Celestial Tier, he can defy higher-stage life, truly qualifying as a strong talent.
