Stronger from Earth

Chapter 415 - 409: Shock

The Earth Immortal can control artifacts, manipulate Qi and fly thousands of miles in a day effortlessly. In ancient times, these were people who had to be sent to temples for tribute, though most Earth Immortals wish never to eat that offering because it’s mostly after death that they receive such treatment.

What’s more, when the ancient Saints were alive, their days were far better than eating cold pork. These Immortals went without saying.

The Celestial Immortal communicates with heaven and earth through the Primordial Spirit, or uses Magical Power to perform flying techniques, easily leaving the atmosphere. Aside from Magical Power consumption factors, traveling a million miles a day is no difficult task. They are willing to explore the cosmos, searching for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the vast Xingyu to accumulate resources for cultivation.

Their speed is admired by ordinary people, especially the Celestial Immortal, whose velocity exceeds the sound barrier many times over. The Human Immortal might not even be able to see their figure.

At this moment, Bear King, with speed more terrifying than the Celestial Immortal, takes a step to cross thousands of miles, comparable to the True Immortal’s teleportation ability.

In just a few moments, he arrives in front of Wang Xuan.

"At such close distance, how can you wield your sword, how can you charge and unleash the strongest move, the peerless Hongwu Taoist!" Bear King roared, the giant sword in his hand already slashing down.

With a single slash, the space violently trembles, sending ripples. Waves vigorously resonate, and the space unable to withstand the immense power tears open like silk, producing a ripping sound that draws a dark gap.

Such momentum raises Wang Xuan’s eyebrows; the power of this move is entirely no less than his Earth Sword. Just how strong Bear King’s physique must be, to break ten thousand methods with such force, obtaining such combat power!

"Die for me!" Bear King roars, his sword edge already at Wang Xuan’s brow, and the sword slashes down without hindrance.

With a "pop," the Wang Xuan before his eyes shatters like foam, disappearing without a trace, not even leaving any residue.

In the next breath, thousands upon thousands of Wang Xuan appear, encircling Bear King, forming an impenetrable large circle.

All the Wang Xuans speak simultaneously: "Bear King, which one do you think is real, which among the ten thousand is fake? If you guess correctly, I’ll stand still and let you slash with your sword."

Mental Power and Primordial Spirit Power reach a certain level in Wang Xuan, and though he might not be able to kill a Peak Celestial Immortal this way, confusing the opponent’s Heart Spirit is no problem.

Bear King, though strong, is completely unable to discern whether these silhouettes before him are illusions or Magical Power clones. His flesh body has reached the True Tier level, yet his Primordial Spirit cultivation only matches the Jade Platform Celestial Immortal. With True Tier Primordial Spirit Soldier protection, he fears no harm, but his level is only that.

"I can’t fucking tell!" Bear King cursed inwardly, most hated these flashy things. A real man should punch flesh directly, hitting it vigorously. Whoever chickens out, calls the other "dad!"

Normally, for a young prodigy to reach the pinnacle of their tier, they must excel in one or several areas at the top levels of their domain. Any shortcomings should only slightly lag, never becoming burdens.

Wanting to be strong across the board and have the strongest cultivation level is almost impossible, limited by talent, Cultivation Technique, time, and energy; hardly anyone can achieve it.

Wang Xuan hasn’t achieved omnipotence, but in the four aspects of Primordial Spirit, flesh body, Magical Power, and Tao, any one of these can single-handedly challenge peer-leaders among the young of any Holy Land.

After all, his cultivation speed is far beyond their reach.

His strengths can crush Bear King, creating a contrast where a shortcoming becomes a combat advantage.

Wang Xuan’s true form appears far away, sword pointing heavenward, instantly triggering a storm and cloud surge. The energy particles of heaven and earth seem to gather towards him.

In a state of Unity of Heaven and Man, Wang Xuan seems to be the ruler of a section of space, capable of calling upon all powers, as if the World Origin has granted him part of its authority.

Though this power can only be summoned within a radius of a hundred to several hundred miles, it is still incredibly formidable.

One sword stroke brings thunder, Yin and Yang, Five Elements power, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot Divine Sword. In terms of energy fluctuation, it’s nearly five to ten times that of the Earth Sword!

This sword the Celestial Immortal cannot withstand, for it can battle the True Immortal, even instantly kill an Immortal freshly entering the True Immortal Domain!

This sword is Wang Xuan’s strongest sword, its power enough to awe anyone, making it hard to believe that this comes from a Divine Infant cultivator.

Bear King has long discovered this sword, though he shatters Wang Xuan’s thousands upon thousands of Magical Power avatars, he can no longer approach Wang Xuan’s true form.

"This is the Celestial Sword you want to wield? It looks pretty meh," Bear King laughed, activating the Artifact Spirit in his True Tier shield and sword.

"Kill!"

Bear King uses the War God Charge again, focusing his entire strength to a point, pushing at terrible speed—the impact force is probably enough to crash into Moon Heart.

In an instant, Wang Xuan’s Divine Sword that seemed capable of cutting down stars had already collided with Bear King transformed into the Golden Warhammer.

BOOM!

With only one loud explosion, the ten-thousand-foot Divine Sword’s power pours out, shattering the Golden Warhammer and charging straight to the sky, in a blink flying out of the atmosphere, piercing through all barriers, heading for the edge of the Solar System.

How many years this sword will fly and how many light years of distance, depends on its luck. According to Wang Xuan’s cosmic astrophysics understanding, it is highly likely to fly smoothly out of the Solar System.

Wang Xuan retracts his sword, looking at Bear King, who was knocked a thousand miles away, his shield and sword shattered, his armor damaged, and a sword trace crossing his chest, causing blood to gush.

Bear King stabilizes his figure in embarrassment, looking painfully at the three damaged True Tier treasures. Such tier weapons also suffer severe damage, so he can only put them away.

"Immortal Martial Taoist, how many more times can you wield a sword like that?" Bear King looks at Wang Xuan, whose face is visibly pale and apparently overexerted.

The sword wound affecting his internal organs is quite serious, but after Bear King extracts the Sword Qi, his flesh begins to squirm, and within a short time, the wound completely closes, leaving not even a scar.

True Tier flesh body—not only can it endure such wounds, but even if the flesh is chopped into eighteen pieces, as long as the head is fine, and the body isn’t shattered too terribly, it can still recover.

And the Immortal can even achieve rebirth with a single drop of blood; as long as they’re not thoroughly dead, given time, they can still return to peak combat strength.

Bear King then takes out a set of True Tier armor, shield, and sword, and with the healed wound, surprisingly looks no different from before the battle.

The Immortals below witnessing are both shocked by Wang Xuan’s terrifying sword. Here, those that can survive such a sword are less than one in a million, knowing that the beings before the Realm Gate are of Earth’s Civilization’s spirituality.

People are speechless towards Bear King as well. After taking such a sword, surprisingly, he’s like a person unaffected, brimming with Life Force, possessing many Magical Treasures, clearly very wealthy.

If this really draws on, who can win?

"Wang Xuan, you’re already overexerted now, can’t wield such a sword a second time, right?" Bear King laughed.

Yet Wang Xuan took a deep breath, and the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi within hundreds of miles rushed towards him, his body rapidly processing, dividing with the Creation True Scripture; Primordial Spirit, flesh body, and Magical Power return to peak.

The process takes only a few breaths.

Wielding the Celestial Sword actually consumes the most from the Primordial Spirit, and his pale complexion is due to his blood rushing into the Sea of Consciousness. That sword can be swung a hundred times in succession, but considering his recovery ability, the Primordial Spirit breakdown limit should be close to ten thousand times.

Ten thousand times, even the deep foundation of Slavic Mountain couldn’t possibly provide Bear King with so many True Tier treasures. Without True Tier treasures for defense, one sword from him would be enough to cut Bear King’s flesh body in half, then a few dozen more swords into mince.

But such combat would be somewhat boring.

"Bear King, these four years passed, your flesh body indeed reached a certain level, it seems you worked hard during these years, also expending vast resources to increase your flesh body’s intensity.

After all, reaching a certain level, without elevating cultivation but wanting to break limits, the cost paid is deeper than advancing in tiers.

But you seem to forget, more than four years ago you lost to me, achieving my fame, and back then I was overpowering you with the flesh body.

Today, I will in the domain you pride most—flesh body—defeat you thoroughly, making you accept defeat wholeheartedly!"

Wang Xuan retracts the black Long Sword, his body growing tall with the wind, and in the blink of an eye becomes a Thousand-Foot Giant, casually picking up a mountain thousands of meters high and hurling it towards Bear King.
