Stronger from Earth

Wang Xuan frowned, his gaze falling on the descending celestial tribulation, sighing at the unfortunate timing in his heart.

"The celestial tribulation came too suddenly, it will affect my layout for taking over the Canglan Realm, and make them wary."

By rights, he shouldn’t be passively undergoing tribulation directly like this. After all, in past breakthroughs, he always actively invoked the heavenly tribulation.

Perhaps it is because his foundation in this realm is too deep, surpassing the strength that should be in this realm.

After all, he is merely a cultivator at the Peak of the Grotto Void, yet his combat power is comparable to a Void True Immortal, even among the elites.

Or perhaps his breakthrough was aided by the Canglan Realm’s original push.

After all, his activities in the Canglan Realm were incredibly terrifying. Not only did he enslave dozens of True-tier creatures, but he also made hundreds of billions of creatures practice the secret technique "All Things Born."

If the Original Will doesn’t stop him, it won’t even need the world origin of Earth to devour it, Wang Xuan could reign supreme and become the actual Controller of the Canglan Realm.

Numerous thoughts passed in an instant, with half of Wang Xuan’s mind immersed in deducing "All Things Born" and the other half focused on dealing with the celestial tribulation.

Rumble!

A loud noise erupted as a bolt of lightning hundreds of feet long struck towards him, a roaring silver dragon tearing through the sky, scorching smoke burning through the air, landing on Wang Xuan.

The deafening thunder still echoed in his ears, and beneath Wang Xuan’s feet already appeared a ten-meter diameter charred pit.

The terrifying and dangerous thunder startled all the creatures near the island into retreat.

They watched the descending thunder with trembling eyes, fleeing in horror, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

"It’s terrifying, a celestial tribulation like this would turn even creatures at the Peak of the Celestial Tier to ashes immediately if they are affected."

"Could it be some ancient existence is about to advance to the Void?"

"Hurry, let’s leave! Matters concerning such creatures could bring great catastrophe simply by observing for too long!"

One aquatic creature after another fled in haste with family in tow, fearing to die here if they lingered a moment longer.

In fact, their choice was right.

Because the thunder they saw was truly just the appetizer, and the calamities transformed by subsequent celestial thunders had unimaginably large power, even a Star Lord couldn’t withstand it.

The power of the celestial tribulation gradually spread from Wang Xuan to the sea, and in the blink of an eye, billions of fish floated to the surface swimming belly up, then turned to ashes in the next thunder.

Wang Xuan focused on deducing the secret technique, only allocating part of his heart spirit to resist the celestial tribulation. Despite his strength making it impossible for the tribulation to harm him in the slightest, his thoughts were still disrupted.

"Noisy!"

Wang Xuan snorted coldly, his Creation Domain unfolding and engulfing the descending celestial thunders one by one.

In an instant, thunders transformed into True Dragon, Fire Phoenix, and Thunder God descended in great momentum as if to destroy the world. But as they approached Wang Xuan, they vanished without a trace, without a sound.

No matter how mighty the celestial lightning transformed into various sacred celestial beings, before Wang Xuan, an endless energy sun, they dissolved like spring snow under the sun.

By swallowing various thunders, Wang Xuan’s Creation Rule Rune was imbued with a trace of silver brilliance, possessing a kind of vitality and destructive power.

Extreme thunder inherently represents destruction, yet beneath destruction lies the vitality to create all things.

Seeing Wang Xuan so bold, first ignoring the descending celestial tribulation and then devouring the thunders, the Original Will of the Canglan World was extremely angry.

Wang Xuan sneered, "Is this all you’ve got? No wonder it’s just a Middle Thousand World, even the celestial tribulation is so petty, not as powerful as the True Immortal Tribulation I overcame."

When he stepped into the True Immortal Domain, he happened to be on Earth, and the power of the celestial tribulation then was far superior to what it is now.

Hearing Wang Xuan’s provocative words, the World Will became increasingly angered, gathering an even greater force in the sky as if to kill Wang Xuan under the celestial tribulation.

In response, Wang Xuan was not only unafraid but rather delighted.

"Come on, good!"

For a cultivator, a celestial tribulation is an unavoidable crisis, easily leading to death, yet also a huge opportunity, overcoming it brings great progress.

In the process of a cultivator crossing tribulation, fighting the celestial tribulation consolidates one’s life foundation, refining a more refined essence, qi, and spirit, and it’s also the best time to test one’s own Dao.

The more extraordinary the talent of a cultivator, the more they value the intensity of the celestial tribulation.

Subsequently, layer upon layer of phenomena appeared, transforming into calamities landing on Wang Xuan.

There were tens of thousands of Karmic Fire Red Lotuses, seemingly purifying everything in the world, covering a region as they drifted down.

Snowflakes that freeze all things quietly appeared, just one was enough to shatter the soul of a True-tier creature, intent on destroying Wang Xuan.

The Eye of Death coagulated from the sky, meteors descended straight to strike, and the Book of Judgment interrogated the soul.

...

All these phenomena seem less perilous and domineering than rolling thunder, yet their danger is tenfold greater!

Since ancient times, no cultivator in the Canglan Realm has crossed from the Grotto Void to the Star Lord faced with such terrifying calamities, even a celestial tribulation advancing to the Void was not of this intensity.

Yet these phenomena calamities still couldn’t do anything to Wang Xuan.

After all, his current strength firmly stands at the Void level, not afraid of a tribulation of this caliber.

The Creation Rules devour all kinds of phenomena, and Wang Xuan even had leisure to engage in the integration structure of Divine Beast Bloodline, facilitating deeper comprehension of the bloodline’s power, and perfecting various integration structures.

The celestial tribulation, layer by layer, yet Wang Xuan treated it as cultivation nourishment, devouring it one by one. He even found the power of the tribulation insufficient, unable to promote his substantial growth.

He provoked the Original Will of the Canglan World, forcing it to summon more power and amplify the celestial tribulation’s might, to punish this stowaway from the Otherworld.

While enduring the celestial tribulation, Wang Xuan simultaneously urged the secret technique "All Things Born," harnessing the power of all living beings, to achieve his transformation.

In fact, at the moment the celestial tribulation descended, he had already advanced to the Star Lord Realm.

The Star Lord is an important realm within the True Tier Three Realm, connecting the grand cycle of Inner Heaven and Earth with Outer Heaven and Earth.

Within a living being is an endless treasure, during the process of communicating external power and tapping internal power, Wang Xuan’s body already transformed from flesh to energy, the energy transformed into crystals, and then in the True Tier, it became a carrier of rules.

Now, his body is filled with high-tier source power, reason runes, and rule power.

The Star Lord Cultivator further masters the power of the Outer Heaven and Earth, nurturing the body with it to prompt bodily transformations.

Cultivators resonating with stars not only master the operational rules of life planets, expanding their perception but also borrow the power of planets.

It can be said, Star Lords who imprint themselves upon resonating life planets overwhelmingly surpass wandering Star Lords in every aspect, their combat power, survivability, and cultivation speed far outstrip wandering Star Lords.

This is why the former wanderer in silver armor envied and resented Chen Jiuyuan and the Barbarian King among others.

Wang Xuan stepped into the Star Lord Domain, his high-tier source power—Creation Source Power, immediately gathered, constantly being compressed until reaching a limit, then swiftly exploded.

A vast amount of Creation Source Power transformed into nebula-like dust, flowing and congregating in the acupoints, forming one star after another.

In the core of Wang Xuan’s dantian, a large and bright star emerged, surrounded by dozens of slightly smaller stars revolving around it.

"The quality of source power improved after the evolution of the Star Domain from Creation Source Power, the capacity of my body to hold Creation Source Power has also been elevated to a higher level."

Wang Xuan sensed his transformation; more importantly, at this moment, his perception of the cosmic starry sky became more sensitive, and his resonance ability far surpassed before.

Now, he is even more adept in star-space.

The future of a Star Lord is the sea of stars, upon advancement to Star Lord, both body and source power are evolving to adapt to the cosmic starry sky.

This is the characteristic and future of Star Lord lifeforms.

"Breaking through in a single stroke is merely breaking one barrier to enter the Star Lord Domain; my strength has increased by a significant margin."

A breakthrough is a breakthrough. Although such a massive celestial tribulation would inevitably alarm others, his strength surged post-breakthrough, now mighty enough to suppress everything forcefully.
