Chapter 603 - 591: Encirclement and Devouring
In the sky, the celestial tribulation continued incessantly. Wang Xuan bathed in the terrifying ordeal, enduring immense pressure to solidify his foundation and expand his limits of power.
However, those in the Canglan Realm who knew his identity all looked at him with fear and vigilance.
If given the chance, they would definitely strike him down, eliminating this alien race infiltrator in the Canglan Realm.
The Canglan Saint Master communicated with everyone, and soon issued the order to encircle Wang Xuan completely.
The Canglan Saint Master shouted, "Who exactly are you? Speak your name quickly, or the anniversary of your death will be this time next year!"
He stared intently at Wang Xuan, yet saw the celestial tribulation in the sky becoming more terrifying. Under such mighty power, if they didn’t make a move to kill him, this alien might still die under the celestial tribulation.
Even if this alien’s strength was strong enough and his luck good enough to survive the tribulation, he would then be in a weakened state, and how to handle him would still be up to them.
Amid the thunder, Wang Xuan paid no attention to these people, focusing on enhancing his life essence within the celestial tribulation.
In this world where great power resides in oneself, as long as his strength is powerful enough, not to mention thousands or tens of thousands of aliens, what about tens of billions or hundreds of billions?
He would still turn a blind eye.
The Barbarian King first reassured everyone, saying, "An alien entering the Canglan Realm will surely be suppressed by the World Will. He may have used some secret technique to infiltrate the Canglan Realm, but he ultimately cannot escape the tracking of the World Will; otherwise, why couldn’t he hide while crossing the tribulation here?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly. Honestly, they were quite terrified and wary just now, thinking the Canglan Realm had become a sieve for the alien races to infiltrate at will. Now, thinking about the World Will’s repressive power over aliens, they all relaxed a lot.
The Fifth Holy Spirit also said, "For an alien to undergo tribulation in the Canglan Realm, this person is facing a life-or-death crisis. We need not rush to take action to avoid collateral damage from the celestial tribulation. I suppose this person also understands this reasoning; surrender should be effective."
In fact, she and the Barbarian King were both relaxing everyone’s vigilance, buying time for Wang Xuan.
As envoys of the Venerable Lord, they needed to do some things under the premise of not exposing their identities.
The Fifth Holy Spirit yelled to Wang Xuan, "Strong one from Earth, now you are completely surrounded and have no possibility of escape. If you’re willing to defect to us and provide valuable information, we are willing to spare your life and help you overcome the celestial tribulation!"
Recalling how Wang Xuan captured her and used various subjugation methods on her back then, the Fifth Holy Spirit felt a mix of humiliation and excitement.
Seeing the Fifth Holy Spirit persuading the enemy to surrender, the Canglan Saint Master nodded with satisfaction. As expected, she was someone he valued. Since Yue Ling advanced to a Holy Spirit, she has dedicated herself to the Canglan Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, and now she is at the forefront for the Divine Teachings.
For such a subordinate, he must publicly commend her and give her more power to inspire other vacillating strong individuals.
The Canglan Saint Master sneered at Wang Xuan, "Besides surrendering, what hope for life do you have? You find yourself in the Canglan Realm, facing not only the formidable celestial tribulation but also having to deal with us strong individuals."
Even three to five complete Void Creatures would stand no chance of escaping, so what chance of survival does this alien, still in the weakness stage of crossing tribulation, have?
The Barbarian King was about to speak to persuade surrender but received an order from Venerable Lord Wang Xuan in his heart: "Attack me with all your strength, help me cultivate!"
Although he couldn’t understand why the Venerable Lord would have him attack at such a perilous moment, the Barbarian King did not dare to discount the command in any way.
He turned to the Canglan Saint Master and the others and said, "This person probably won’t give up until he hits the southern wall; otherwise, why hasn’t he said a word? This is contempt for us! Thunderous means are necessary to show him our might!"
After speaking, the Barbarian King gave a signal with his eyes to the ten Star Lords behind him, intending to attack first to test the waters, for them to follow.
A blue flame surged from his body as the Barbarian King’s figure suddenly expanded to ten thousand feet. Holding a giant axe, his massive form fiercely struck towards Wang Xuan.
The surge of power caused the entire world to change color, and as this axe split through the air, its sharpness exploded with terrifying intensity.
Spectators were in awe of the power of the ax, praising the Barbarian King’s might—as expected of a Void Cultivator, his strength was indeed formidable, and his strike was sure to succeed.
The Canglan Saint Master smiled. At this moment, he even contemplated that perhaps the Barbarian King and others truly wished to return to the Canglan Realm. Why else would they actively attack aliens, encircling the current Canglan Realm?
Only the Fifth Holy Spirit and Wang Xuan’s subjugators were apprehensive, fearing any unexpected events. Although they had confidence in Venerable Lord Wang Xuan’s strength, what if the Venerable Lord, in the weakness stage, got injured?
This Barbarian King, only knowing how to use brute force, was truly too reckless.
In the sky, the Barbarian King’s ax finally struck Wang Xuan, and in the collision, infinite light and heat illuminated more than half of the Canglan Realm, making it so bright within tens of thousands of miles that one could hardly open their eyes.
The Barbarian King wasn’t stingy with his strength, hacking at Wang Xuan with all his might, one swing after another.
At this moment, he truly was going all out, even muttering to himself in his heart.
"Who dares to disrespect you ordinarily, huh? But this is your command, so don’t blame me for striking. Eat my axe, old thing!"
Outsiders didn’t know, but as the actual attacker, the Barbarian King knew that none of his attacks had harmed the Venerable Lord in the slightest. Each strike of his giant axe felt like hitting Vajra Indestructible Divine Gold.
"Such a mighty axe!" Those watching from hundreds of miles away were all impressed by the Barbarian King’s valor.
Seeing his attacks were futile, the Barbarian King signaled to the ten Star Lords behind him, shouting, "Join me in the attack!"
Silver Armor, Chen Jiuyuan, and others rushed forward, not holding back, showering Wang Xuan with a variety of techniques.
As Star Lords, they mastered numerous techniques; each of them wielded dozens of Divine Techniques, making the scene spectacularly colorful.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was bustling like a firework display, a beautiful scene reflected in the eyes of hundreds of millions of creatures.
"Great! Wonderful, wonderful! The Barbarian King and his men really didn’t disappoint me. Once they return to Canglan, they immediately shoulder the significant responsibility of defending the Mother Star!"
The Canglan Saint Master was extremely pleased. With the alien undergoing celestial tribulation for so long, and now under the attack of a group of Star Lords and a Void Cultivator, could he withstand for long?
He was jubilant at the moment, loudly declaring, "Barbarian King, if you capture this man, I will richly reward you and hold a grand celebration in your honor!"
The Fifth Holy Spirit secretly curled her lips, while the Barbarian King and others sneered inwardly. The Saint Master still wanted to capture the Venerable Lord? Wasn’t he dreaming?
Only those attacking with all their might knew how terrifying the immovable Venerable Lord truly was.
It’s quite miraculous, despite Wang Xuan always undergoing the celestial tribulation, the natives like the Barbarian King were not affected at all.
Bathed in the celestial tribulation and under attack from eleven strong foes, Wang Xuan seemed to be in a critical situation. However, his surroundings were enveloped by rule power, so none of the attacks harmed him.
All attacks became pressure for Wang Xuan’s growth, forging his foundation stronger and expanding his limits.
Yet it still couldn’t satisfy his needs.
He snorted coldly, and the Creation Rules evolved into a black hole, instantly devouring all the attacking forces, even swallowing up the celestial tribulation clouds.
The entire world was clean and clear for a brief moment.
Seeing this scene, the Barbarian King and the others were all shocked, realizing they had vastly underestimated the Venerable Lord’s strength, and they quickly retreated behind the Saint Master and others.
Thousands of Canglan Realm’s strong cultivators, seeing Wang Xuan unharmed, widened their eyes and were so tense they couldn’t even speak.
