Stronger from Earth

The Heavenly Dao Tribulation descended, and Wang Xuan felt an unprecedented pressure. Whether it was spiritual will, physique, Immortal Source, or Rule Path, he was subjected to the most rigorous tests.

In the midst of the starry sky, a cosmic eye as massive as a star emerged, quietly gazing at Wang Xuan, causing him to instantly fall into an illusion realm.

The terrifying power of the tribulation was felt even by the Canglan Saint Master and others tens of thousands of miles away, causing their spirits to become disoriented. They could hardly imagine how difficult it must be for Wang Xuan at the center of the tribulation.

In the starry sky, Wang Xuan was still bathed in relentless thunder. The thunder formed from various sources had immense destructive power and penetrated everywhere with ease.

Even someone like Wang Xuan, who repeatedly broke through the limits of realms and set all kinds of historical records, was continuously injured.

Endless thunder tore through his body, while Creation Runes and Immortal Source constantly worked to heal him.

It could be said that at every moment, Wang Xuan was in a cycle of destruction and rebirth. Under such terrifying life-threatening circumstances, his life force was constantly being consumed, yet his cultivation level and foundation continued to solidify.

Whatever cannot destroy him shall undoubtedly make him stronger!

Seeing the enemy caught in danger, the Saint Master and others watched intently, contemplating whether to seize this opportunity to attack and destroy this exceedingly powerful alien race.

Even after using the General Selection Map, they could not kill him. Wang Xuan’s strength and potential truly surpassed their imagination.

"Attack!" The Saint Master controlled the situation, directing the dragon to kill Wang Xuan.

Within them, only the Fifth Holy Spirit, the Barbarian King, and others awaited the ensuing events, ready to act should the Venerable Lord truly fall into a deadlock.

The dragon’s massive body swung its tail, slicing through space calculated in miles, as it reached Wang Xuan’s front, spewing a scorching flame that covered thousands of miles.

At the moment the Saint Master’s heart was filled with anticipation, waiting to kill Wang Xuan at once, the boundless Sea of Thunder suddenly covered them.

Upon entering the range of the heavenly tribulation, they were viewed by the Heavenly Dao as provocateurs, deemed as tribulation crossers, required to cross the tribulation together with Wang Xuan.

The power of the Heavenly Dao Tribulation was unimaginably great, directly targeting the weaknesses of the tribulation crossers.

Hundreds of various celestial thunders descended, instantly turning hundreds of celestial-tier cultivators in the General Selection Map to ashes, with those nearby similarly charred outside and tender inside.

Witnessing this scene, the Saint Master’s eyes nearly split apart, controlling the dragon to leave instantly. Yet before leaving, another wave of celestial thunder struck, turning hundreds of cultivators into charcoal.

In the next moment, the Saint Master and others, who distanced themselves from the tribulation, felt a lingering fear. In just a few breaths, they had lost nearly a quarter of their personnel.

If they stayed a while longer, as the tribulation power grew ever stronger, the subordinates in the General Selection Map might face complete annihilation.

The power of such a tribulation is insurmountable, not only to those celestial-tier cultivators, but even to the Saint Master himself, lacking certainty to endure it.

Their perilous attack, not only failed to harm Wang Xuan in the slightest, but the flame’s power was consumed by Creation Rules, transformed into the Source Power within Wang Xuan.

The Barbarian King cursed internally, though they brought few hands, many were dead or injured—damned Saint Master.

The Fifth Holy Spirit asked, "Saint Master, previously when we attacked him, the tribulation did not affect us. Why does it treat us the same now?"

Though her face showed regret and unwillingness, inwardly she could not be more jubilant, feeling relieved Wang Xuan was distant from attack.

The Saint Master sighed deeply and said, "I remember now, this is the Celestial Dao Tribulation, a calamity triggered by the peerless beings with True God potential across numerous worlds."

Indeed, it’s a string of unfortunate events; little did they expect the opponent to attract a Celestial Dao Tribulation.

Until the tribulation passes, not even Immortal Creatures or True God existences can intervene, or they too will be affected, drawing tribulations of the same tier.

"Let’s leave!" Though the Saint Master felt endless unwillingness in his heart, he could only wait to act until after Wang Xuan crossed the tribulation.

At this moment, Wang Xuan’s heart spirit was already ensnared within the illusion realm of the Eye of the Celestial Dao, unaware of anything regarding the Saint Master and others.

In the illusion realm, he still faced the tribulation.

The celestial thunder roared, clouds surged from all directions, forming a black cloud sphere, completely enveloping Wang Xuan.

He was like a prisoner within the tribulation, only able to passively welcome the arrival of calamity.

Furrowing his brow slightly, doubts arose in Wang Xuan’s heart, yet the formidable tribulation about to descend left no room for further thought.

The Great Five Elements Thunder Tribulation appeared—three days and nights—and relying on strong foundations and strength, he smoothly endured it, although also battered, with lingering injuries difficult to heal.

The Celestial Person’s Five Declines manifested for a month, throughout which he faced tests of losing extraordinary power, eventually overcoming them through supreme talent, though his Primordial Spirit was polluted.

Then came Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, the most challenging Human Tribulation baited him with his kin and sect, overcome only by his transcendent will.

Then, a terrifying Human Tribulation emerged.

From the depths of the starry sky, hundreds of formidable cultivators suddenly emerged, the weakest being at Star Lord Peak, the strongest even including an Immortal Creature.

Such a formidable adversary, even the invincible Wang Xuan could not help but be astounded, with an indescribable sense of powerlessness arising in his heart.

Star Lord battles Immortal?

It’s truly laughable, no matter how much he breaks his limit, he doesn’t have that capability.

These cultivators were soldiers under the command of the Canglan True God, and after enduring millions of years of tribulations, they have returned.

Back then, following the departure with Canglan True God, they suffered a catastrophic defeat in the unknown, and including Canglan True God, all strong ones fell into a desperate situation unable to return, leaving only those who managed to escape to return to their homeland.

These beings experienced various hardships on their long journey back to the Canglan Realm, even losing seventy to eighty percent of their people, leaving only several hundred elites now.

Returning excited and elated, some even burst into tears of joy, but what they didn’t expect was to see Wang Xuan at first glance, a foreign race coveting Canglan.

The anger in their hearts was imaginable.

The leading immortal creature, angrily attacked Wang Xuan, with an immeasurable force instantly tearing apart Wang Xuan’s body and primordial spirit.

If not for several unknown forces emerging from him to save him, Wang Xuan would likely have died on the spot.

Yet, the safety measures left by Martial Immortal and Hong Xuanji couldn’t hold for long, and soon they were resolved by this immortal of the Canglan Realm.

Helpless, Wang Xuan could only hide in the Tower of Space-Time.

The Tower of Space-Time is an unimaginable treasure, surpassing True God level, hence this Immortal certainly could do nothing about it.

It was just that Wang Xuan, who hasn’t finished crossing tribulation, was still targeted by Heavenly Dao, with the originally True tier level tribulation directly ascending to an unimaginable strength.

A terrifying thunderbolt, with a boom, smashed the Tower of Space-Time, exposing Wang Xuan hiding inside to everyone.

The enemy’s sneers were right before his eyes, waves of mockery entered his ears, yet Wang Xuan laughed heartily at this moment.

He loudly said: "This environment is really realistic, going through it is a great tempering for my spirit!"

This lifetime, he has gone through too many tribulations, though it’s his first time crossing this Celestial Dao Tribulation, there’s no way it could be of such strength.

Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, Celestial Person’s Five Declines, Great Five Elements Thunder Tribulation, each of these he would only experience after the Star Lord advances to Void Realm.

The strength far exceeds the current realm.

And to let a creature crossing Star Lord tribulation fight against a group of Half-Step Immortals and an Immortal?

It’s simply absurd.

Wang Xuan had long noticed something was off, but didn’t break the tribulation illusion, instead immersed himself in it to strengthen himself during the tribulation.

At his level, information is power!

The Illusion Realm of the Celestial Dao Tribulation, simulated tribulations, was unimaginably real because all of this could truly manifest in reality.

It’s precisely this incredibly realistic spiritual illusion that allowed Wang Xuan to see opportunities of low risk but high reward, turning illusion tribulations into opportunities.

Divine Beast Bloodline fusion structure, Heart Sword Secret Technique, Rules of Time and Creation, and various Divine Power Forbidden Techniques, in the illusion he used and experimented without hesitation.

He experienced tribulations surpassing his own realm, went through various incredible events, utilizing the power of the illusion to test his reserves, gaining significantly.

The moment he revealed the truth, the illusory realm instantly shattered.

In outer space, Wang Xuan opened his eyes, looking up to see that celestial eye, large as a star, gradually vanishing into the void.

Stepping out from the illusion, Wang Xuan practically applied the wisdom and outcomes gained from various tribulations on himself.

To face those tribulations surpassing his own realm, in the illusion he nearly destructively squeezed his own potential, results could be imagined.

The qi and blood, Tao patterns, source power, rule runes, and various forces within him, were now all combining in a more efficient and powerful way.

Wang Xuan, reconstructing his own life structure, felt his aura rapidly ascending, under the Time Domain’s cover, he quickly completed transformation.

At this moment, his overall strength jumped significantly!

The Celestial Dao Tribulation continued to strike his body, and as his strength grew, the power of the tribulation gradually increased.

But at this moment, Wang Xuan felt greatly confident, although Celestial Dao Tribulation is formidable, he believes he can still cross it.

Once he crosses the tribulation, his power will surely enhance, his life level and cultivation realm will certainly skyrocket.

"Seize opportunities in good times, face challenges in adversity, as long as you are strong and wise enough, are opportunities in adversity any less?"

Wang Xuan smiled, his spirit calmly bathing in the tribulation.
