Stronger from Earth

Chapter 412 - 406: Arriving Amid Thunder and Lightning

The Realm Gate leading to the Evolution Realm is located on the African continent. This fertile land nurtures countless Black people, but today, it is bustling with diverse races, gathered in groups of three or five.

The Realm Gate has reopened, the war has ended, and it is a good day for reunion.

How have the past four years been? What is the current situation? How has everyone’s cultivation level progressed?

Joyful, regretful, and sorrowful events often catch people off guard. Four years is sufficient time to change so much, especially in this turbulent Era of Mythology. Being able to reunite alive is truly a fortunate thing.

A group stood with the Immortal Martial Mountain immortals in one area. This time, the expedition of Immortal Martial Mountain suffered minimal losses. After four years of training, many disciples have grown significantly and have unearthed many treasures in the Evolution Realm.

He Fang and others were chatting casually on the side, while Bear King and Spiritual Path True Son were battling in the sky, neither disturbing the other.

"It’s good to be back. This time, the expedition to the Evolution Realm, no one knew it would be this way." He Fang emerged from closed doors only a year ago, and the effort of breaking through to the Void Realm exhausted him greatly.

However, even when he heard the Realm Gate had shattered, he remained calm, believing no major problems would arise.

The strength of Earth Civilization, especially among top-tier experts, other fifth-level civilizations simply can’t compare. He Fang is full of confidence.

Lin Cheng did not see Wang Xuan, and felt an indescribable sense of loss, while others reunited, only she was still waiting.

She gently caressed her belly, the baby’s movements were very distinct, and Lin Cheng softly said, "Baby, your dad will be back soon, don’t worry."

The baby kicked with notable force, his body was enveloped in dense purple qi, causing his mother’s belly to glow.

Not long after, Lin Cheng’s sleepiness gradually overcame her, and she again started to feel drowsy, unable to resist yawning.

Hou Zhaohua and Lin Xiyue also arrived. Lin Xiyue, as a woman, felt a rush of maternal affection seeing the fetus in Lin Cheng’s belly, observing without boredom.

The second senior brother, Hou Zhaohua, seeing everyone intact and well, couldn’t help but say to Wu Zhutian, "Senior brother, four years have passed, your cultivation progress is somewhat slow, the gap between us has narrowed quite a bit."

Four years passed, plus gains from the Wizard Realm expeditions, were enough for him to solidify his Grotto Void Realm.

"Junior brother is talented, senior brother is naturally not as good." Wu Zhutian didn’t argue with Hou Zhaohua, not to mention that he would be surpassed by Hou Zhaohua in the future, it was nothing worth arguing.

Hou Zhaohua loved to compete with Wu Zhutian, but this time Wu Zhutian didn’t contend with him like before, which made it less interesting for Hou Zhaohua.

After a long silence, although clearly having the upper hand, Hou Zhaohua felt uncomfortable all over and sighed, "Having been stuck in the Evolution Realm, a temporary delay in cultivation is normal, soon one can expect to enter a period of explosive growth, with considerable improvements."

Hongze silently stayed on the side, saying nothing, as he was merely a junior, it was best to listen and watch, acting deaf and mute concerning the elders’ matters.

Surveying the scene, people from various branches of the Immortal Martial Mountain were present, with many Earth Immortal Realm immortals, while Celestial Immortal or even True Immortal figures were beyond his ability to fully comprehend.

"Too many powerful figures, my cultivation level here is essentially insignificant.

Indeed, the combined forces of Earth’s civilization gathered here, if they weren’t powerful, how could Earth be as it is today?"

It’s a matter of perspective and vision, if stuck in small places, his Vajra Realm might be something to boast about, looking down upon and dominating a side.

But always confining oneself in small places, without challenging the Long or the Hu, one can never become a Long or a Hu.

Unintentionally, Hongze’s gaze fell upon a girl, no taller than one meter fifty, appearing delicate and cute, with a slender figure and an exquisite face. Sadly, despite her wealth, she already had a private airstrip at such a young age.

"That lousy old man master, how come he’s still not back!" Yue Yiyi grumbled.

Her skin was snow-white, her fingers like scallions, her flesh like crystal without impurities, even her dark hair shimmered with an animated luster, a charming display causing one to feel affectionate.

Despite being such a lovely person, there was not a single soul within a mile around her, no one dared approach.

This was a half Little Witch, it’s wiser to avoid confrontation.

Glancing around, Yue Yiyi fiercely tugged at the Golden-winged Roc’s feathers, despite being only ten, her strength was astounding, easily able to lift heavy objects.

"Humph, when he comes back later, I won’t talk to him!" Yue Yiyi ground her little tiger teeth, vowing to show the Immortal Martial Mountain Sect Leader just how formidable the Little Witch re-emerging after five hundred years at Immortal Martial Mountain is.

Not knowing how much time had passed, when Yue Yiyi started to feel impatient with drooping her little face, a middle-aged figure slowly approached.

Hong Xuanji stepped through the void, as flowers of Cyan Lotus bloomed beneath his feet, surrounded by a purple cloud escorting his arrival.

"Yiyi, master has returned." Hong Xuanji smiled, seeing Yue Yiyi pout, his heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, his dear disciple was upset.

Looking at Yue Yiyi, who had started to grow, Hong Xuanji couldn’t help but lament the passage of time, this small person from the cradle had grown to this point.

Yue Yiyi pretended to be unhappy, but ultimately couldn’t help it, she rushed over with a flutter and jumped into her master’s embrace.

"Lousy master, bad master, actually abandoning me alone, do you know how much I’ve missed you over the years?!"

Yue Yiyi huffed, vigorously tugging at her master’s beard until he pleaded for mercy.

Boom!

The Nascent Qi clash between Bear King and Spiritual Path True Son generated endless heat, forming one after another golden sun.

With each step, Bear King stepped forward nine times, his body suddenly transformed into a thousand-foot giant, his black hair growing wildly, appearing truly like a rampant bear descending upon the world.

A roar erupted, the howl shook the four directions, and the newly gathered air was again expelled, forming a vacuum.

Spiritual Path True Son stared at the giant bear, his gaze was very solemn, facing such an opponent, none of his peers could afford to underestimate.

Hands forming a sealing technique, shaped like a lotus, Spiritual Path True Son’s Primordial Spirit vibrated with the heavens and earth nine hundred ninety-nine times, instantly producing a massive black scythe, wielded by Spiritual Path True Son, advancing as if to reap Bear King’s life.

The battle continued.

This battle lasted over two hours, with Bear King gaining a slight advantage, while Spiritual Path True Son repeatedly surged, deploying various Primordial Spirit secret techniques, attempting to defeat Bear King.

Their battle tremors caused many Divine Infant Realm cultivators to be terrified, completely afraid to get close, such prodigies were truly too powerful.

"So powerful, truly too powerful, even if I’m at Jade Platform Realm myself, I couldn’t say I wouldn’t be defeated." A middle-aged Celestial Immortal marveled.

"Prodigies of this caliber are rare on Mother Star, it seems Bear King in Divine Infant Realm is already invincible, with no one being his opponent." Another commented.

Their achievements were also extraordinary, themselves being strong figures, but compared to Bear King, Spiritual Path True Son, and other leaders of the Immortal Holy Land youth, their aptitude fell far short.

In the midst of everyone’s astonishment, Spiritual Path True Son ultimately admitted defeat, unable to defeat Bear King, instead repeatedly being seriously injured by Bear King.

Bear King’s triumph over Spiritual Path True Son filled his heart with extraordinary cheer; such a formidable opponent brought genuine satisfaction only upon victory.

His victory scene was spread through the network to every corner of the world, gaining admiration and reverence from the masses.

Numerous ordinary people, due to his strength and invincible demeanor, sincerely praised and revered him.

"Invincible, truly lonely." Bear King stood with hands held back.

"Too bad Wang Xuan hasn’t returned. If he were here, I would certainly let him know who is truly the peak figure in the Divine Infant Realm.

At this point, I’ve reached a position he needs to pursue."

Bear King sighed, seemingly regretting Wang Xuan’s absence or feeling sorry that upon return, Wang Xuan might have lagged in cultivation after four years in the Otherworld, thus not being a worthy adversary.

It has been almost half a day since the Earth Expeditionary Army returned, and everyone who needed a breakthrough has made it, with the Celestial Tribulation long ceased.

But many noticed thousands of miles of cloud qi gathering quietly around, and it wasn’t long before the sky saw a black cloud covering a hundred-mile radius appear.

A clear and audible sound of footsteps arose, a figure traversed through the Gate of the World, stepping onto Earth’s land.

With his arrival, the clouds in the sky suddenly flashed with electricity, a bolt of lightning boomed down.

Wang Xuan wielded a black Long Sword, casually slicing through the lightning, restraining it within flesh, absorbing the Celestial Tribulation’s power to refine his body.

"I seem to hear someone discussing me, Bear King, was that you?

By the way, what were you saying just now?"

Wang Xuan curled his lips into a smile, leisurely stretching his body. He left Earth at the Peak of Pure Yang, but now having reached the Peak of Divine Infant Realm, encountering the Divine Infant Realm Celestial Tribulation upon return is very expected.

He bathed in Celestial Tribulation, casually walking forward, his black hair fluttering, robes billowing with the wind, wielding a three-foot Qing Feng, stepping through lightning as he progressed.
