Stronger from Earth

In the center of the square, Wang Xuan had attracted the world’s attention, and everyone was eagerly awaiting the truth from his lips.

Since the Longevity Taoist had revealed the true face of the Alien Race, the matter would not end here. Surely he had investigated thoroughly and came prepared.

Wang Xuan said calmly, "This entire farce stems from the Alien Race’s deception. As for where those aliens are?"

He pointed with his hand, and suddenly, the dozen True Dragons behind Long Yu began to twist and struggle, with the residual True Spirit within them manifesting, recounting their past experiences.

Wang Xuan activated the Rule Runes embedded in their bodies, and they erupted. The true forms of those Celestial Demons could no longer be hidden, all revealing themselves before the world.

One terrifying and monstrous Celestial Demon after another appeared before the people’s eyes.

These Celestial Demons, clueless about what had transpired, glanced at each other, completely unsure how they had been revealed.

Originally hidden in the shadows like poisonous snakes, constantly scheming against Earth Civilization, they were now exposed to the sunlight, each shaking uncontrollably.

The gazes of millions of Earth cultivators carried scrutiny and killing intent, making them feel like meat on a chopping block.

"Escape!"

They frantically attempted to flee through spatial teleportation or by tearing open wormholes, only to find that the surrounding space was as solid as divine iron, unable to be moved.

With a thought, Wang Xuan engaged the alchemy processes set up within these Celestial Demons. The Dragon Pearl they had once gifted to Wang Xuan became the Dharma Gate for refining them into Dragon Pills.

In the next moment, they all erupted into shrill screams, wailing helplessly as they struggled in the flames.

These Celestial Demons and the dragon bodies they inhabited all turned into alchemy materials for Dragon Pills, forced to watch as they were refined.

Even though they were powerful Celestial Demons of the Star Lord Realm, considered mighty in the Abyss Realm, they were easily manipulated by Wang Xuan.

The Celestial Demons screeched in agony, desperately struggling, but regardless of their efforts, they could not leave the bodies they inhabited.

"Save me! Save me!"

"The Longevity Taoist tampered with us while we were crossing tribulations to ascend; we shouldn’t have been greedy!"

"How were we exposed? How did he discover us?"

The Celestial Demons gradually dissolved, likely to be completely transformed into pills within a dozen breaths.

Seeing his subordinates suffering in agony, Long Yu was at a loss whether to intervene or quickly detach himself from the situation.

’This is the Earth Civilization’s stronghold. Once exposed, we become abandoned pawns. The only option now is to sacrifice the carriage for the general, protecting the Lord of Desire’s identity from being discovered.’

Understanding this, Long Yu suddenly revealed his Celestial Demon true form.

"I brought you here, and I will take you away!" Long Yu shouted, extending aid to the trapped Celestial Demons.

The long-hidden Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable simply stretched out a palm, clutching this monstrous and enormous Celestial Demon in his grasp.

"Heh, just a minor Upper-Rank Celestial Demon and you could orchestrate this much?" Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable was completely skeptical.

Endless Sword Qi eroded Long Yu’s body and Primordial Spirit, soon grinding him to dust.

Celestial Demons from the Void Realm lacked even the qualification to confront a Half-Step Immortal Sword Cultivator like Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable.

Wang Xuan’s gaze turned to Long Wudao above, and all the True-tier Creatures present followed his gaze towards Long Wudao.

Given that Long Yu and the True Dragons behind him were possessed by aliens, what role was Long Wudao, who had been instructing Long Yu, playing?

"Long Wudao, no, I should call you the Desirer."

Wang Xuan stowed away the dozen Dragon Pills, asking curiously, "What exactly do you intend to achieve through the Canglan Realm with all your schemes?"

Upon hearing the Longevity Taoist’s words, even Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable was startled by this explosive revelation.

Long Wudao turned out to be an alien? Moreover, a renowned Desirer from the Abyss Realm?

This outcome was something no one could have predicted or dared to believe.

It must be known that Long Wudao was a seasoned warrior, his strength ranking him among the Half-Step Immortals; yet a Desirer could take over his nest!

This indicates the Desirer’s methods overwhelmed Long Wudao, easily suppressing him while leaving him incapable of self-destruction.

Even someone like Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable wouldn’t claim he could achieve this. In all Earth Civilization, perhaps only the former Cyan Emperor possessed such prowess!

Yet the Desirer accomplished it!

Not only did he suppress Long Wudao, but he also entered the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest under Long Wudao’s guise, setting up the dragon slaughter agenda during the absence of the Dragon Race Great Saint.

Throughout this process, should the Dragon Race Great Saint return or be discovered by other Immortals, he would face a dire crisis.

After all, this was the hub of Earth Civilization.

Yet the Desirer forged ahead, narrowly missing success had the Longevity Taoist not appeared unexpectedly.

Such audacity, brilliance, and unmatched capability—indeed, the Desirer is deserving of his formidable reputation in the Abyss Realm.

The Desirer gazed at everyone, his Primordial Spirit once filled with unease and worry now calmly persistent to a frightening degree.

He realized he was now exposed.

If he truly were Long Wudao, surrendering now would ensure those Immortals ultimately clear his name.

But he was not.

Even masked by the Half-Step Immortal Dragon form, bearing high status and powerful might, he would still face thorough scrutiny, incapable of eluding the Immortals’ inspection.

Thus, he must resist.

Yet resistance undeniably confirms his alien nature.

The seed of doubt once sown already marked his exposure.

Behold, Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable, Mr. John, and the Holy Spear Judgment, three veteran Half-Step Immortals, had sealed off his escape route.

The Desirer shook his head helplessly and sighed, "I was but one move short; had you not stumbled into the game, victory should have been mine."

He looked at Wang Xuan with curiosity, "Wielding infinite fortune and tracing the river of time, I wonder who exactly the Longevity Taoist is?"

The Longevity Taoist was unquestionably a powerhouse of Earth Civilization, whose prowess had earned renown long ago considering such achievements.

Why had he never heard?

The three Half-Step Immortals present were similarly intrigued by the Longevity Taoist’s identity, eager to discern which familiar figure this was.

The dragon slaughter event was a trap into which they had stepped, yet the alien race, in turn, fell into the Longevity Taoist’s trap, as from start to finish they remained unaware.

Only further testament to the Longevity Taoist’s formidable skills.

Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable and the others’ gaze prompted the Desirer to sigh once more, "Even deceiving your own allies, no wonder I couldn’t discover you. Respect."

"Longevity Taoist, why don’t I reveal my plan to you, and you share your identity with me, how about that?"

The Desirer had traversed All Heavens for millions of years, scheming against countless souls, facing failures but never encountering such ultimate peril before.

The root of all the failure lies solely with this Longevity Taoist.
