Stronger from Earth

Chapter 395 - 389: Assassin Emperor

Hong Xuanji said, "This further proves that the cultivation system of Earth Civilization is far superior to the Evolution Realm, doesn’t it?

How many years have I been in the Immortal Realm? I’m already not weaker than you, Truth Saint King. If you had joined Earth Civilization alongside the cultivators of the Evolution Realm, you’d have the hope of becoming a Demigod within a millennium.

Unfortunately, you gave up such a great opportunity. It can be foreseen that no matter how many millions of years you spend, you won’t reach Demigod, not even progressing by a small realm, requiring arduous cultivation."

Even in this Star Domain, with the return to Earth Civilization still indefinitely distant, Hong Xuanji still harbored a proud heart.

Were it not for the numerous formidable adversaries of Earth Civilization, a single Evolution Realm would absolutely not withstand a month before Earth Civilization, and the Immortal known as the Truth Saint King would have long since met his demise.

The strong have the pride of the strong.

The Truth Saint King, however, was indifferent, and said lightly, "Nonsense, no matter how my doghouse is, it’s better than being under someone else’s roof!"

Yet, above Hong Xuanji’s head, a jade disc appeared, and in an instant, his figure moved, delivering a supremely mysterious punch as if a Celestial God descended.

"What’s the point of us fighting again?" The Truth Saint King felt uninterested, knowing that no victor could be determined.

Over the years, they had clashed in the starry sky many times, with over a hundred planets meeting their end, yet still, no winner was decided, let alone life and death.

But he couldn’t ignore Hong Xuanji’s attack; being creatures of the same level, any slight negligence could result in injury.

Hong Xuanji went all out, with a punch bringing about black holes, shattering the surrounding space, powerful beyond imagination.

Clang!

A sword light cutting across the Milky Way gleamed, landing atop the Truth Saint King’s head while he focused entirely on Hong Xuanji.

A black figure was just a short distance from the Truth Saint King, within a step from them in terms of cultivation level.

At such a close distance, he had never noticed all along!

"Who exactly is he? How long has he been hiding by my side?" Recalling the disappeared Realm Gate, the Truth Saint King felt his skin crawl.

This hidden Immortal powerhouse might have been beside him for years!

Wielding a Long Sword, arriving at the speed of light, the black shadow flashed by, and the Truth Saint King, in the past, had never noticed his presence, yet now, a lethal strike was launched!

Hong Xuanji smiled at the corner of his mouth. Why dared he enter the Evolution Realm with such strong confidence to win this battle?

Because besides him, this Immortal of Earth Civilization was accompanied by the leader of the vast dark organization, the Assassin Alliance, the Assassin Emperor, who had entered the Immortal Realm years ago!

When he was a Half-Step Immortal, the Assassin Emperor dared to assassinate Alien Race Immortals and successfully inflicted serious damage; he is an unimaginable assassin, and having entered the Immortal Domain at least a century ago, how strong really is he?

Nobody knows; at least Hong Xuanji is unwilling to face the Assassin Emperor, even in direct confrontation, his odds are less than thirty percent.

The ancient supreme assassins, within ten steps, blood would splatter three feet; in modern times, when the Assassin Emperor unsheathes his sword, even Immortals feel a chill down their spine.

The sword light arose, turning black to white, and ultimately struck the Truth Saint King.

Scorching blood spurted forth, his heavenly spirit pierced through, and a head soared into the sky, the Truth Saint King silenced forever.

One strike, a sure kill!

The Assassin Emperor took action, rendering the Truth Saint King headless.

"The senior’s might truly shakes the world." Hong Xuanji put away his Lifebound Weapon, speaking to the faint black figure.

The black shadow gradually became clear, revealing a tall, faceless man, devoid of facial features, unaging or young.

This person was none other than the Assassin Emperor!

The Assassin Emperor said, "With all my might, I only severed his vitality; but the death of this body does not mean everything ends.

His Dao has become an indispensable part of the Evolution Realm, integrated with it. As long as the Evolution Realm exists, he will reappear unless the Law fragments and Dao imprinting the Evolution Realm are stripped away.

But that would not be worth the cost, with the Original Will in the way, the price is too great.

I will transform into his appearance, deceive the Evolution Realm’s Origin in a weakened state, gain entry into the Evolution Realm, and operate. In the coming time, you and I will cooperate, hoping to return to Earth."

The disappearance of the Realm Gate was something no one anticipated, affecting them significantly, and now wanting to rely on the connection to Earth’s origin to rebuild the Realm Gate is a monumental task.

However, without the Truth Saint King’s interference, they could ultimately succeed, and with the Evolution Realm lacking a Supreme Leader, it stands powerless against Earth’s Immortals; Hong Xuanji and the Assassin Emperor have ample space to maneuver.

...

Holding the Thirteen-Layered Black Tower, Wang Xuan could sense Changjing, who had regained consciousness, struggling fiercely, trying to break the Black Tower to escape.

Unfortunately, the Black Tower was on the brink of being forged into a Half-Step Immortal weapon tower embryo, how could he possibly destroy it? He could only unleash the power of the Immortal Source, consuming the magical power Wang Xuan needed to suppress it.

In addition to the force of Primordial Spirit intrusion from Changjing, the pressure on Wang Xuan was equally tremendous.

Furrowing his brows, upon returning to Sigui Star, he immediately began setting up an array, as one talisman after another fell within a radius of several thousand miles, consuming a vast amount of Creation Magical Power as Wang Xuan inscribed the array; when dozens of Array Flags were placed, the Grand Array was ready.

A thousand-meter-long Spirit Vein Dragon flew out, landing at the array’s core to provide the energy for its operation, followed by the Black Tower falling into the array.

"In my hands, would you dream of escaping?" Wang Xuan could hardly let Changjing escape.

Changjing continued to struggle, and in the blink of an eye, days passed, as Wang Xuan sat above, controlling the array.

Visibly to the naked eye, the Black Tower’s shape began to change, transforming from an Exquisite Tower into a Long Sword, its original thirteen layers starting to blend, gradually becoming one.

Changjing would never know, his resistance was funneled entirely into the Grand Array, transforming into the power to refine the Black Tower.

It’s fair to say he was utilizing his cultivation level to help Wang Xuan refine the treasure, without any awareness of the occurrence.

Time whisked by another two months, the Black Tower had completely transformed into an Immortal Sword, flying into Wang Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness, becoming the abode of the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo.

With this weapon, the combat power of the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo would soar several times over!

Unable to replenish his drain and reduced to a withered state, Changjing, toiling in both mind and body, "helped" Wang Xuan refine the Black Tower; for survival, Changjing again employed Divine Techniques, transforming into an Immortal Gold Body to slumber.

"This fool, is he really our benefactor?"

Wang Xuan acquired many fine things from Changjing’s Storage Magical Treasure, cultivation techniques, pills, Immortal Gold, spiritual materials.

All Immortal Spiritual Materials were given to Clone Emperor Xuan, dozens of varying Celestial Tier Immortal Golds, and True-tier exotic metals harvested by Changjing, along with his weapon, were all refined by Emperor Xuan, and incorporated into the body.

The body formed from the Divine Gold that lost too much essence theoretically could continuously grow stronger as long as there was enough Immortal Gold.

After absorbing and refining those materials, Emperor Xuan’s physique once again surpassed that of the original Wang Xuan.

Glancing at the sleeping black gold figure, Emperor Xuan shook his head. People who still shine and heat before their death are few.
