Stronger from Earth

"So it was you."

Seeing Wang Xuan’s face, Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable and the other three Half-Step Immortals felt deeply surprised at this moment.

They thought the Longevity Taoist would be some old acquaintance, but unexpectedly, it was the junior Wang Xuan!

Unexpectedly, he had grown to this extent, to the point where he could see through the Desirer’s arrangement and even counter-arrange against this Half-Step Immortal.

"So it was my junior brother!" Wu Zhutian exclaimed in delight, then proudly said, "No wonder he is my junior brother, capable of orchestrating such a scenario."

Everyone, including the teachers and students of Federation University, at this moment widened their eyes as they looked at Wang Xuan.

From Dragon Wood Taoist to Longevity Taoist, and now to Immortal Martial Taoist, this foremost figure of the younger generation gave them countless surprises and shocks.

"The methods and Divine Techniques of the Immortal Martial Taoist already rival those of the older generation’s strong ones, truly deserving the title of Immortal Martial Taoist."

"Blessing the world, spreading endless kindness. I wondered which predecessor possessed such virtues, turns out it’s the Immortal Martial Taoist, no wonder."

The crowd chattered about this dynamic figure, the Immortal Martial Taoist.

The Desirer was completely puzzled but then turned his gaze towards Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable and the other three Half-Step Immortals, realizing he had no choice but to fight.

In his perception, dozens of Void Cultivators were observing from Deep Space, some of whom were Half-Step Immortals.

After all, Earth is the stronghold of the entire civilization, with over twenty Immortal Influences residing here. The guarding strong ones, once they detect abnormal energy fluctuations, can cover any place on Earth with a thought.

Having exposed his identity, the difficulty of escaping after being discovered was indeed too great.

Even for Immortal creatures, encountering such a predicament could mean the difference between life and death.

Now, his only chance for survival was that one path.

Long Wudao’s dragon body was slowly torn apart, and a black sun rose from the corpse, emitting cold black flames.

The Desirer’s demon body, honed over millions of years, was revealed to the world, and its terrifying might shocked the onlookers into distancing themselves.

The Desirer, standing ten thousand feet tall, with sky-pillar-like feet and a long tail rooted to the ground, six stout arms akin to Divine Gold, and a dragon-like head with fangs amidst black scales, covered his body.

Full of power and vitality, the Desirer did not seem like a Celestial Demon playing with spirits, but more like a primordial beast ready for close combat.

Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable and others stood ready, and the honored True-tier masters, along with other guests, had already retreated.

The battlefield of Half-Step Immortals was indeed too terrifying. Even the inadvertently leaked aftershocks could reduce True-tier creatures to dust.

In many worlds, Half-Step Immortals were the ruling God-Demons, possessing the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. The life and death of all beings were within their whim.

Now that the great battle was imminent, who else would dare to stay?

Wang Xuan waved his sleeve and also left with his senior brother and disciple, distancing themselves from this battlefield.

The next moment, a huge energy fluctuation emerged, and the Moon projected this region, separating the Half-Step Immortals into Deep Space with a palace-shaped cage.

"Is this the Moon God Palace of Earth? Rumor has it that it’s a top-tier Immortal Magical Treasure, capable of creating a cage to directly suppress any beings below Half-Step Immortal, and also to isolate the aftershocks of battles between Half-Step Immortals and Immortals."

The Desirer, now confined with Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable, Mr. John, and Holy Spear Judgment within the Moon God Palace, had to defeat the others to leave.

The four Half-Step Immortals immersed in the Moon God Palace within Deep Space, unseen by others, could only be examined through the True-tier creatures viewing the battlefield.

Before long, the massive energy fluctuations began to sway, and the originally ten-mile-radius Moon God Palace swelled to a size of tens of thousands of miles.

With terrifying energy and Rules clashing during the battle, spreading to the edges, then constrained, swallowed, and converted into Moon God Palace’s operational energy.

The True Immortals observing the battle were shocked, some even turning pale.

Clearly within the same Great Realm, a Half-Step Immortal strong one could easily annihilate any cultivator below the Void Realm.

Even Void Cultivators had no chance against Half-Step Immortal creatures, let alone these four within the battlefield.

The Desirer, within the Abyss Realm, had once subdued several Half-Step Immortal creatures to command his domain. Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable, as an experienced Half-Step Immortal Sword Cultivator, had killed countless powerful Half-Step Immortal enemies. As for Mr. John and Holy Spear Judgment, they were likewise veterans within the Half-Step Immortal Domain.

This battle caused the Moon God Palace to constantly morph and swell, and occasionally a stray aftershock pierced through, spreading into the main space.

Some unfortunate ones were reduced to ashes, among them a Peak of Celestial Tier human cultivator.

Wang Xuan looked up at the battlefield, imbued with awe, despite possessing the heart sword, Creation Rules, Time Rule, and bloodline power integration, granting him the regular combat power of the Void Realm.

Yet, from Realm to combat power, there was a vast gap compared to a Half-Step Immortal.

"I must breakthrough soon, rising from strength to Realm to reach Half-Step Immortal."

Wang Xuan’s current power and status were already considered high-level within Earth Civilization, but in a Civilizational Conflict, the decisive power stepping in was Half-Step Immortal.

Especially in an influential world like Earth!

Didn’t you see, the Four Realms’ civilization pressuring Earth, even Peak of Immortal creatures appeared, with the real masterminds behind the Four Realms being Demigods or True Gods, imposing great pressure on Earth’s Immortals.

The higher you stand, the broader your vision. The broader your vision, the greater your responsibility, and the more you realize your insignificance.

"A grand and magnificent Civilizational Conflict, and the boundless mysterious All Heavens, await me to grow stronger and explore."

At this moment, Wang Xuan’s heart had endless reveries.

Inside Moon God Palace, three master warriors besieged the Desirer; for all his Divine Techniques, the Desirer could not withstand it now.

If one-on-one, he might still strive for victory, but against three peers, his defeat was only a matter of time.

The Desirer swiftly maneuvered, barely dodging the long spear of Holy Spear Judgment, only to have a terrifying sword light slice open his back, followed by another strike from Mr. John.

The danger of the fight was the most he had ever encountered.

The constantly dodging yet heavily injured Desirer bled black from his deep wounds as his robust body, capable of withstanding cosmic storms, could not fend off the three.

The Desirer’s preferred path of Spirit desires was utterly ineffective under Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable and others’ combined Primordial Spirit strikes, nearly getting his Heart Spirit controlled.

’I must find a way to escape!’

In just moments, the once-oppressive Desirer was already covered in wounds, bisected several times, and even had half his skull cleaved open.

Regardless of his vigorous Life Force and numerous Secret Techniques, he would eventually be worn down to death by these three before him.

After all, this was Earth, not the Mother Star where he could store his Spirit and Primordial Imprint, making the idea of being immortal and undying just a vain wish.

The Desirer took another sword hit on his back but used a Secret Technique to dodge thousands of miles away, standing on the edge of Moon God Palace.

In his hand appeared an object that he slammed against Moon God Palace, ripping a breach in the once-invulnerable palace amidst the violent explosion.

Without hesitation, the Desirer slipped in, attempting to escape.

At this moment, Moon God Palace surged with thousands of threads, tightly entangling the escaping Desirer, greatly limiting his movement and speed.

This interval was enough for the three Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable to attack. The Desirer was struck thrice more, forcing his retreating form back.

"Trying to escape? What a fanciful dream!" Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable pointed his sword at the Desirer.
