Stronger from Earth

Chapter 397 - 391: An Unexpected Victory

In front of the Evolution Realm with a diameter of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, a gigantic figure stood in mid-air, exuding an immortal’s powerful aura.

Wang Xuan’s eyes narrowed. The opponent’s strength was beyond measure, even a thousand of him wouldn’t be a match. This person was precisely the one revered by many creatures of the Evolution Realm—the Truth Saint King!

"What’s the reason behind this inexplicable battle? Why would the Evolution Realm wage war? According to past outcomes, they would be defeated again this time.

Could it be that the strength of the Evolution Realm has suddenly surged? It’s impossible; it’s only been three years. Or perhaps, they’ve received support from other alien races?"

There are quite a few Evolvers in the Evolution Realm, stirring up trouble within the territory of Earth Civilization. Wang Xuan had also encountered them multiple times.

However, the Truth Saint King, who had long planned to shatter the Realm Gate, would surely not allow other alien races to remain in this Star Domain. Those powerful aliens wouldn’t abandon their Mother Star to stay here unable to return, logically making aid unlikely.

Wang Xuan pondered continuously, yet couldn’t figure out what trick the Truth Saint King was playing, or the meaning of this battle.

Numerous Evolvers appearing in space, each filled with anger and excitement, anticipation and exhilaration, contemplating how many of their compatriots had fallen in the war against the Earth Expeditionary Army. Now, having an opportunity to wash away their shame, they naturally displayed such emotions.

Their supreme commander—the Truth Saint King—had already summoned allies, and when they engaged with the Earth Expeditionary Army, support would swiftly arrive, catching the Earthlings off guard.

Trapped in a two-pronged attack, the Earth Expeditionary Army would surely be defeated!

Thus, this battle could finally resolve this persistent enemy, ending the war pressure that had hovered over them like a dark cloud for years.

"Kill!" The Evolvers roared before their formation, waves of energy from millions poured out like a storm, forming a hazy nebula.

"Battle! Battle! Battle!" As the war drums beat, the Earth Expeditionary Army marched through the starry sky, with the interstellar battleship battle groups flanking on either side of the mothership as their core.

War, once again, commenced.

Hong Xuanji exchanged a glance with the "Truth Saint King," and their massive asteroid-like forms leaped up, vanishing without a trace.

Everyone thought they were engaged in battle, yet didn’t know that Hong Xuanji and the "Truth Saint King" were observing it all from afar.

"Senior Assassin Emperor, after this battle, the Evolution Realm will no longer have strong figures, and we can enter the Evolution Realm to plan returning to Earth."

Hong Xuanji had to admire the Assassin Emperor’s methods, taking years to observe the Truth Saint King, killing him, and then taking his place, deceiving the will of the Evolution Realm.

The Assassin Emperor said, "The Earth Expeditionary Army’s entry into the Evolution Realm is beyond doubt, even if the realm’s original suppression only targets those above True Tier.

The matter of returning to the Mother Star can be pursued slowly, those little ones establishing a foothold in the Evolution Realm won’t fall behind much in cultivation speed."

The Original Will doesn’t have the leisure to handle small fry. An Origin Planet is vast, with billions of creatures; it won’t care about those Human Immortals and Earth Immortals as long as they don’t cause widespread destruction.

What it cares about are those with immense destructive power and threats from Otherworldly creatures. Of course, if True-Tier Creatures are willing to protect it, it wouldn’t mind granting them good fortune.

This battle’s formations weren’t activated because setting up takes too many resources, and neither side had the mindset, especially with arrangements by two Immortals.

If thousands formed a battle array, it might take half a day to determine the victor, until the array collapses from exhaustion.

At this moment, Wang Xuan clashed with the Evolvers alongside numerous Immortals, True Immortals battled on the edge of the Fixed Star System, while Celestial Immortals like him engaged on either side of the equator, spatially separated from the Earth Immortals.

A single strike from a True Immortal could shatter a thousand-mile-wide planet, causing surrounding space to collapse, creating a mini black hole. A Void True Immortal, exceptionally strong Immortals like these, could easily catch stars and moons.

Meanwhile, in their battles, high-level energy particles from Celestial Immortals were sufficient to tear apart interstellar battleships, and the aftermath easily ripped through special alloys. As for Earth Immortals, they were still beings who could soar through the sky and tunnel through the earth.

For a moment, energy particles in the starry sky wantonly flew, scattering in collisions towards the edges of the star system.

The battles of myriad cultivators couldn’t even be seen on a single planet; only in collisions between civilizations could such things occur.

"Kill!"

Wang Xuan stamped a foot down, and a footprint covering dozens of miles crushed several Celestial-Tier Evolvers.

Three Peak of Celestial Tier Evolvers exchanged a glance and surrounded Wang Xuan, only to see Wang Xuan’s fists like a Thousand-Handed Guanyin, countless fist seals flew out in an instant.

Each punch, equivalent to a meteor several kilometers in diameter, crashed with terrifying speed, repelling the three.

"You are nothing but petty creatures, daring to vie with the bright moon!" A black long sword spewed from Wang Xuan’s mouth, flickering shadows resonated with a clang thousands of times.

With Primordial Spirit power infused, sword in hand, Wang Xuan leaped up, transforming into a giant, slashing forward, his might made the Peak of Celestial Tier Evolver ahead feel a shiver down their spine.

With one stroke of the sword, a long mace was cut into two sections.

Wang Xuan let out a long howl, his body like a miniature black hole, drawing in surrounding vitality and energy particles, the power of the Path of Creation beginning to manifest.

The Evolvers besieging him were like people trudging through deep snow, their bodily energy continuously draining, growing ever weaker.

"Slash!"

He brought down the sword again, the terrifying black long sword directly piercing through a person’s skull, blood spraying, as the corpse swiftly dried and decomposed into powder within a dozen breaths, all energy being drawn by Wang Xuan and infused into the long sword as a catalyst for power.

Battle nurtures battle! The more he fights, the stronger he becomes!

In the midst of chaos, Wang Xuan never feared being outnumbered nor worried about exhausting himself to death; on the contrary, the more enemies, the more energy reserves he accumulated!

When the black long sword emerged, anyone below the Peak of Celestial Tier couldn’t withstand a single blow, resulting in their death and soul dispersal; even at the Peak of Celestial Tier, it was only a matter of a few strikes.

"Kill! Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill!"

Wang Xuan was drenched in blood, his black long sword stained red, exuding terrifying energy, with one slash splitting a Celestial-Tier Peak and the planet with a diameter of two to three hundred kilometers behind him in half.

Growing stronger with every fight, in a short time, he slaughtered twenty to thirty Celestial-Tier Evolvers, until there were no more shadows near him.

A Half-Step True Tier rushed forward, but even he was slain by the blood-soaked black long sword, making Wang Xuan’s combat prowess unchallengeable.

This sudden and seemingly chaotic war passed in the blink of an eye, lasting two hours, with the battlefield resembling a meat grinder, as countless creatures perished.

The numerically superior Earth Expeditionary Army besieged the Evolvers, forming an almost one-sided situation, knowing that even Human Immortals of the Same Realm could single-handedly kill Evolvers, making the result of group battles predictable.

For every moment that creatures fell, among ten who died, perhaps only one might be an Immortal.

The war reached a point where neither side could easily withdraw.

But a third of the Evolvers of the Evolution Realm had already fallen, representing the Earth Tier and above combat power of the entire Evolution Realm, their losses unimaginable.

"Saint King! Why hasn’t support arrived?" Only the words of the Truth Saint King could make them fight against the odds, knowing it’s unwise, yet still venturing into battle.

Unfortunately, the harsh reality thrust them into the abyss.

Before dying, the Evolvers wailed, fighting desperately, holding onto the weak against the strong, just waiting for support to arrive, to mount a pincer attack.

But support did not arrive; they had already lost a third. In a few more hours, its arrival would be meaningless.

"Pitiful." Hong Xuanji shook his head, "They have no idea, there was never any so-called support."

"This battle, they were sent to die." The Assassin Emperor sat, cross-legged, with a long sword resting on his knees, using Immortal Brocade to wipe it.

The worn-out Evolver army ultimately never received rescue, even though the Truth Saint King was their faith, at this moment, driven by the desire to survive, the remaining quarter of the soldiers started retreating at all costs.

Returning to the Evolution Realm, they would be safe.

At this moment, the surrounding Interstellar Battleships launched an attack, tens of thousands of light beams shot forth, and dense attacks slaughtered numerous Evolvers.

As the surviving Evolvers approached the Evolution Realm, a wave of energy pulsated from within, the Assassin Emperor’s contingency plan.

In an instant, thousands of Evolvers turned to ashes, flesh disappearing without a trace.

"Is it over?"

Wang Xuan remained vigilant of potential surprises but didn’t expect this inexplicable battle today to proceed so smoothly, now wiping out the battlefield’s Evolvers entirely.

Explosions appeared along the edges of the star system, as Hong Xuanji and the Assassin Emperor, the two Immortals, struck again, killing True-Tier Evolvers still fighting, including those comparable to the Void True Immortal, the Kings of Evolution.

"Cultivators below True Immortal, set off immediately, move into the Evolution Realm!" Hong Xuanji waved his arm, and the forces of various Mountain Gates surged into the Evolution Realm.

Without hesitation, Wang Xuan plunged into the Evolution Realm.

The spoils of war were abundant, and now, as the victorious party, it was time for them to enjoy the feast.
