Stronger from Earth
Chapter 323 - 322: Peeping into the Future
Wang Xuan is not afraid of danger, but the fear of the unknown makes people uneasy. As long as he doesn’t understand where the unease in his heart comes from, he won’t have the mood to focus on other things.
"Wang Xuan, what’s wrong with you today?" Tu Yingying felt that Wang Xuan was very strange. Normally, when she spoke, he would look at her and listen attentively.
But today, when she was chatting with Wang Xuan, he only responded with a few words, either frowning with his head down or gazing at the stars.
"It’s nothing, just an inexplicable feeling that something big will happen in the next few days, something very bad."
The Celestial Demon Realm is considered vast. He and Tu Yingying wandered around this planet, observing the elegance of alien civilizations; otherwise, in a few years, the Celestial Demon Realm might be devoured by the Mother Star, leaving nothing to see.
"Move quickly!" The Federation Army captured a large batch of rebellious natives, who were then detained and sent to the Mother Star. The Magic Cube Prison would generally be the final destination for those rebels.
Wang Xuan looked at this planet. Although there was still vitality in every plant and tree, the whole was shrouded in a layer of deathly air. This Life Source Star was dying, akin to a collapsing feudal dynasty.
Tu Yingying did not have the same unease as Wang Xuan. In her opinion, the Mother Star was powerful, with many cultivators gathered there. Surely, some mighty figure would be guarding it, so nothing would go wrong.
Knowing that Wang Xuan was not in a good mood, Tu Yingying let him be alone, then returned to the Qingqiu Fox Race convoy to participate in mining the Spirit Vein. The Mother Star rarely mined Spirit Stones; the Spirit Stones and Spirit Crystals used by Human Immortals and Earth Immortals mostly came from Otherworld.
With Wang Xuan’s inspiration, he wandered around the Celestial Demon Realm, discovering many Celestial Immortal figures. As for True Immortals, they were elusive like True Dragons; only when a gaze occasionally fell upon him could he detect them.
No one could understand Wang Xuan’s worry. He couldn’t help but wonder why only he had such intense unease. There must be a reason.
Reflecting on his uniqueness, Wang Xuan ultimately focused his attention on the Tower of Space-Time. The only thing that set him apart from many True Immortals was possessing it.
Returning to camp, after activating a Celestial Treasure palace, Wang Xuan entered it, gaining some safety while isolating others’ inquiries.
Wang Xuan concentrated his Heart Spirit on the Primordial Spirit, stepping into the depths to once again see the Tower of Space-Time, which seemed to occupy the entire cosmos, making Wang Xuan feel unreachable.
"Time Spirit."
With a call, the Tower of Space-Time quivered lightly, and as it rotated, a kaleidoscope of colors flowed, with rainbow gases continuously cascading down. There was no immortal substance, no divine light, yet it was so mysterious.
Name: Wang Xuan
Age: Twenty-five
Height: One meter ninety
Realm: Peak of Earth Immortal
Cultivation Skills: Third-Layer Limit of the Creation True Scripture Earth Immortal Chapter, Third-Layer Limit of the Mixed Element Martial Scripture Earth Immortal Chapter, Third-Layer Limit of the Divine Elephant Golden Bell Shield Earth Immortal Chapter, Third-Layer Limit of the Heart Spirit Demon Scripture, Nine Breath Qi Cultivation Entry, Instant Flowering Minor Achievement, Fourth-Layer Limit of the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo,...
Source Point: Nine million five hundred eighty thousand

Divine Power: Fifteen
The data remained unchanged, with nothing unusual found. Wang Xuan couldn’t help but sigh.
"Tower of Space-Time, are you warning me? If so, please tell me what exactly is amiss?" Wang Xuan said helplessly.
A casual remark, yet the Tower Spirit of the Tower of Space-Time responded.
"Divine Skill: Peeping into the Future (available to use), do you want to consume Divine Power to activate it?"
The prompt from the Tower of Space-Time slightly startled Wang Xuan. Originally, he thought the Tower of Space-Time could only accelerate cultivation techniques, consuming Source Power to allow him to cultivate quickly.
However, unexpectedly, it had such a function, and this transformation came from absorbing the power of a True God’s finger bone, triggered by mysterious reasons.
Wang Xuan thought to himself, "The Tower of Space-Time is a terrifying weapon involving time and spatial powers. The Tower Spirit lacks the tower body, and its spatial power is incomplete.
In the past, it had no high-level substance for repair, nor high-level energy sources to drive it, so its capabilities were limited. Now, with immortal substance and divine power, its functions can be unleashed."
A Divine Skill like Peeping into the Future, Wang Xuan had only heard of in mythical legends. Even the unpredictable Immortals did not possess a great divine technique capable of peering into the future.
But should he use this Divine Skill?
Wang Xuan was not sure of its power, nor did he know how much energy was needed to activate it, yet the unease in his heart persisted, prompting him to make up his mind.
"Activate the Divine Skill!" Wang Xuan’s heart surged with excitement, eager to see what the Divine Skill looked like and how powerful it was.
The Tower of Space-Time rotated, with Divine Power and immortal substance powering this terrifying weapon, the power of time shooting out from the tower tip, piercing the river of time-space in an instant.
Boom!
With a roar, Wang Xuan saw in a daze a river that seemed to originate from nowhere and flow to nowhere, with waves upon waves splashing vibrantly.
What shook his Heart Spirit was that each wave in the river seemed like a vast world, with peerless prodigies roaring, striving to leap out of the river.
Even after exerting their utmost effort to leap, they could only create a tiny splash, eventually merging back and vanishing without a trace.
The river of time-space flowed majestically, with time pursuing its course unceasingly, refusing to pause for individual will.
Wang Xuan observed his personal panel’s Divine Power value plummet rapidly, depleted within a breath, and subsequently, the immortal substance, which dissipated even faster.
Faced with such terrible consumption, Wang Xuan hurriedly called for a halt. When the Tower of Space-Time returned to normal, all the Divine Power and immortal substance he had accumulated had vanished, leaving only two million of pure Source Power.
If he was a moment later, there wouldn’t be any left.
"It’s truly dangerous," Wang Xuan couldn’t fathom the price required to activate the Divine Skill.
The Tower of Space-Time rotated, presenting a scene captured from the river of time-space before Wang Xuan, causing him to hold his breath immediately.
Before him was a sight filled with golden light, vast and pervasive, spreading across the entire galaxy, countless flaming meteors shooting out.
The star in the Celestial Demon Star Domain exploded, with innumerable fragments flying toward the Celestial Demon Realm, like an apocalypse.
Suddenly, in front of this star, a colossal figure thousands of feet tall appeared. With a wave of his hand, all living beings of the Earth Civilization on the star fell into his sleeve.
He smacked away the massive star fragment ahead, and the golden-haired, dragon-horned strongman’s gaze swept the star universe as a golden spear pierced forward.
In a flash, in the endless radiance, all images vanished, with heaven and earth immersed in an interwoven glow of black and gold.
In the next breath, Wang Xuan saw a rain of blood in the sky. The Dragon Race strongman’s arm exploded, and he was blown backward, with the previously gathered living beings of Earth Civilization scattered in the starry sky.
The energy ravaged the Celestial Demon Realm behind, turning countless beings into blood mud, and the earth into a wasteland like after a sweeping of countless nuclear bombs.
Terrifying energy rippled through space, creating spatial cracks, with countless Earth beings perishing. The Federation soldiers below the Earth Immortal level disintegrated to ash in an instant.
Whether they were voluntary loose cultivators or disciples from wealthy sects with plentiful resources, or even true inheritors of the Immortal Holy Land.
One by one, they struggled for survival in the starry sky, with the endless energy waves making them like fishermen in a stormy sea, using every means to survive.
In the next breath, a pair of black eyes, devouring all, appeared. Under its gaze, countless Earth beings dried into skeletons, with their life force drained.
In the scene, he saw Liu Nan, Elder Wei, Mao Yi, Ji Song, and the Celestial Illusion Fox Saint. The stationed True Immortals attempted to punch through space to escape, but the surrounding space was like a cage, impenetrable.
They watched helplessly as their life force drained away, life dwindling, turning to old age and then to bones in a flash.
Wang Xuan also saw himself in the picture, his life force draining rapidly. Even the most vital immortal couldn’t withstand it, but with the help of the Creation Magical Power and the acceleration of the Tower of Space-Time, he barely held on.
In the chaos, he grabbed his senior sister Lin Xiyue, a male fellow disciple, and Tu Yingying along with her sister.
But under such terrifying loss of life force, the five of them turned into skin-and-bone skeletons within a breath. Beauty turned into deadwood, and deadwood to ashes.
In the end, even Wang Xuan himself dried up and died, despite witnessing everyone’s struggle and their hopeless demise before his end.
In the near future, apart from the Dragon Race strongman, all Earth beings stationed at the Celestial Demon Realm perished!
