Stronger from Earth

The disciple of Yue Yi, Wang Wudi, walked back with a face full of guilt and said apologetically to Yiyi: "Master, I lost."

His battle with the Night Sea White Tiger was intense and challenging, almost resulting in life and death. Even though he exhausted all his efforts, he still lost by one move.

Yiyi was very displeased and huffed, "You’ve disgraced me completely; how will I ever mingle at Immortal Martial Mountain now? This time I’ll let it slide, but next time, you must not embarrass me like this again."

The young girl pinched the hem of her skirt, waved her hand to dismiss Wang Wudi, and then looked up at the sky, seemingly pondering how her master Hong Xuanji was faring in battle.

The disciple of Thunder Celestial Venerable, Li Lei, had an even more intense character. He was very unwilling to lose to Diyang Wushuang, but he knew the gap between himself and the opponent was significant, and he really was not a match.

To truly comprehend the frightening talent and strength of the young generation’s number one from the Celestial Divine Realm, one must experience it firsthand.

The battle between Immortal Martial Mountain and the Celestial Divine Realm was still not over.

With three wins out of five battles, Immortal Martial Mountain had a slight advantage, but they knew that compared to the Celestial Divine Realm, they had too few cultivators.

When the quality of cultivators doesn’t widen the gap, the number of cultivators determines both sides’ strength.

Compared to the concerns of Immortal Martial Mountain, the people of the Celestial Divine Realm felt anger and even unspeakable humiliation.

With numerous strong figures in the Celestial Divine Realm, be it bloodlines, cultivation techniques, or heritage, each aspect overwhelmingly crushes Immortal Martial Mountain. Yet the results when the young generation took to the field turned out like this?

"Useless!" Diyang Zhenxuan, the aged Immortal, rebuked. Except for Diyang Wushuang and Night Sea White Tiger, everyone else lowered their heads.

"Before the duel, you all were so arrogant. But this is the result when you step onto the field? You truly are the worst generation of prodigies I’ve ever led!"

Even the Immortal Diyang Zhenxuan was a bit angry, feeling that if he returned to his youth, he would make those young people understand what a true prodigy is! Not like their half-hearted efforts.

Diyang Wushuang squinted his eyes, casting his gaze on the Daoist of Immortal Martial Mountain. He knew that only by defeating this person could the Celestial Divine Realm restore its face.

Wang Xuan had the same thought, being the Daoist of Immortal Martial Mountain, he must restore the reputation of Immortal Martial Mountain.

One was the Celestial Divine Realm’s number one prodigy, the other was Immortal Martial Mountain’s number one prodigy, and the outcome between these two was the most significant representation.

If Diyang Wushuang wins, the Celestial Divine Realm’s face will be restored, and if Wang Xuan wins, it would decisively secure an important victory for Immortal Martial Mountain.

The next moment, Wang Xuan stepped out, pointing at Diyang Wushuang and said loudly: "Diyang Wushuang, do you dare to duel with me?!"

Even at Half-Step Grotto Void, he chose to fight without hesitation against someone like Diyang Wushuang, a Half-Step Star Lord.

In an instant, all eyes focused on the two of them, watching with thoughtful gazes.

His master He Fang immediately sent a voice transmission: "No! Beloved disciple, do not act on impulse; the gap in cultivation level between the two of you is too great, and victory is simply impossible.

Your future is boundless, and there’s no need to contest over temporary matters. The future is your stage, and both Immortal Martial Mountain and Earth Civilization need you to shine brightly.

At the same realm, you are invincible, but crossing a realm to battle someone like Diyang Wushuang, such a monster, is extremely dangerous!"

He Fang certainly understood Immortal Martial Mountain’s desire for victory, but he cared more about the life of his own disciple. With Wang Xuan’s talent and status, Diyang Wushuang would have every opportunity to kill Wang Xuan without mercy.

Both senior brothers Hou Zhaohua and Wu Zhutian also attempted to dissuade him, pointing out that just now, during Diyang Wushuang’s battle with Li Lei, he used rules power with might comparable to a seasoned Star Lord. Although Wang Xuan was powerful, he would definitely not be a match for Diyang Wushuang.

Upon hearing Wang Xuan’s challenge, Diyang Wushuang slowly emerged, speaking coldly: "Why wouldn’t I dare!"

Admiring Wang Xuan’s courage to fight from a position of weakness, Diyang Wushuang nonetheless saw no room for politeness in such a situation.

As the top prodigy of the Celestial Divine Realm’s younger generation, he had this responsibility and, to win the heart of Tianwei, needed to thoroughly defeat Wang Xuan!

Diyang Wushuang said coldly: "There’s a realm in cultivation level between us. If I take action, it would be bullying you. Should I suppress my realm to fight at the same realm as you?

Otherwise, after your defeat, I’m afraid you and yours will not be convinced."

This was, of course, a provocation.

Without suppressing his realm during the duel, he had a 100% certainty of victory. Even if restraining his realm, with his overwhelming advantage in all aspects, he still held a massive edge.

A fair fight? There’s no such thing.

"No need for you to suppress your realm." Wang Xuan’s fighting intent was high, his blood already boiling.

The difficulty in achieving victory today was solely due to the gap of one realm. One was a Half-Step Star Lord, and the other was Half-Step Grotto Void, separated by a chasm of strength.

But this chasm could be crossed!

If not for forging the strongest foundation, he would have broken through long ago and would never wait until today. Now that the foundation was set, he no longer needed to restrain himself.

At this moment, all eyes fell on Wang Xuan. They did not know what kind of courage and trump card Wang Xuan possessed to challenge Diyang Wushuang.

The Immortal Diyang Zhenxuan stared at Wang Xuan, clearly understanding that this young man’s foundation was unparalleled, with some treasures on him. But Diyang’s genius was never lacking in such things either.

"Wushuang, this person daring to challenge you probably has some unexpected means; don’t be careless," Diyang Zhenxuan cautioned, "especially his domain involving the power of time; it must not be underestimated."

Diyang Wushuang nodded, although he didn’t care much about this battle, he had some concerns about potentially failing unexpectedly.

"Secret technique? Magical treasure? Domain? Or some other underhanded trick?" Diyang Wushuang appeared unconcerned, but secretly he was making numerous contingency plans.

Compared to the vigilance of the Celestial Divine Realm’s people, the immortals of Immortal Martial Mountain were more occupied by worry and speculation. They feared Wang Xuan was acting on impulse and wondered what assurance of victory Wang Xuan might possess.

"The Immortal Martial Taoist has always been extraordinary. I believe he will surely win this battle!" True Disciples of Immortal Martial Mountain encouraged themselves.

"Let’s hope so, but given the difference in realms, it’s hard, hard, hard to win!" some others frowned tightly.

The gazes of numerous cultivators, like scorching flames, seemed unnoticed by Wang Xuan as he adjusted his aura, quietly reaching his optimal state.

The Tower of Space-Time had already activated, and the mysterious power of time and space enveloped him. In an instant, the internal flow of time had changed.

In others’ eyes, he was shrouded in a layer of mist, appearing both obscure and full of mystery.

"What is he doing?" Tianjin, who had been defeated by Wang Xuan, widened his eyes and stared fixedly at him.

Just as everyone was puzzled, a Celestial Thunder bolt suddenly struck from the clear sky above, abruptly hitting Wang Xuan.

The initial thunderbolt was singular, but within the next breath, it multiplied to hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands! An endless stream of thunder then rained down upon Wang Xuan.

In the blink of an eye, a ten-mile radius centered on Wang Xuan transformed into a Thunder Sea, each thunderbolt comparable to a peak Celestial Immortal’s full-force strike.

Everyone watching this scene was somewhat dumbfounded.

Even more astonishing was that Wang Xuan, enveloped by myriad thunderbolts, remained unscathed and even seemed to grow stronger in aura.

A quarter hour passed, and the Celestial Thunder gradually dissipated.

Just when everyone thought the Celestial Tribulation was over, shadows appeared amongst the sea of clouds, sending forth an indomitable momentum that left everybody gaping.

"It’s the Heaven and Earth Seal of Immortals!" Earth’s immortals exclaimed, knowing well that when extraordinarily potent prodigies break through, they attract Heaven and Earth Seals of Immortals, yet no one expected Wang Xuan could summon so many.

This was simply an unprecedented, never-before-seen miracle.

Seeing these scenes, Diyang Zhenxuan, the Immortal from the Celestial Divine Realm, secretly frowned. From these Heaven and Earth Seals of Immortals, it became evident how tremendously strong the foundation of Earth’s Immortals was.

And the Immortal Martial Taoist before them possessed not just an immortal foundation but perhaps the potential to challenge the domain of True Gods in the future.

Thus, it was evident that Wang Xuan’s talent and intelligence indeed surpassed Diyang Wushuang.

"Breaking through on the spot was indeed a pleasant surprise." Diyang Wushuang squinted, slightly astonished but not worried, as breaking through was merely one step — so what if one became a Grotto Void True Immortal?

The gap between the early Grotto Void True Immortal and a Half-Step Star Lord remained unimaginably vast.

Grotto Void True Immortals, upon merging with their True Spirit, enhance their ability to comprehend heaven and earth significantly, thus able to touch spatial power and source power.

After breaking through, Wang Xuan would first need to spend ample time condensing Immortal Source, then transform himself into an Immortal Body, thereafter possessing enough power to manipulate space for tearing and teleportation abilities.

Whether it was merging with the True Spirit, comprehending heaven and earth, or condensing the Immortal Source, transforming the Immortal Body...

Without ten years or more, Wang Xuan might not even master the basic powers of a Grotto Void True Immortal, let alone touch the rules level.

Challenging him, a Half-Step Star Lord? No matter how monstrous or peerless Wang Xuan was, he still couldn’t break the chasm between their realms!
