Chapter 3004

Li Jing could not help but be stunned by how that single drop of Ancestral Dragon blood had transformed Ao Bing completely.

In the original story, even the Ten Thousand Scales Armor, forged from the hardest scales every dragon could pluck from their own bodies, could not withstand the Heavenly Tribulation... yet now, Ao Bing, without any external artifact or tool, simply stood there still, like a towering mountain, severing all contact.

"Puff!"

Ao Bing's expression remained unchanged, but he slightly opened his mouth and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood; at the same time, the scales directly exposed to the Heavenly Tribulation above his body began to crack.

"Damn it! Run now, you'll die!"

Ne Zha's face turned pale as he struck Ao Bing's body with his Fire-Tipped Spear.

"Don't worry,"

Ao Bing gently wiped the blood from his lips; his emotions had not changed at all, as if facing not a death-bringing Heavenly Tribulation.

He whispered, "The turning point has come!"

A tall figure suddenly appeared.

This figure had pink hair and two antennae sticking out from his head, wearing peculiar glasses.

He was Qi Mu Nanxiong.

Qi Mu Nanxiong merely extended a finger and lightly tapped—the sky was ripped open.

Previously, dark clouds and endless lightning had filled the heavens... all of it vanished, utterly shattered by his casual strike.

At this moment, whether...

Ne Zha, or Taiyi True Person, Yin Fu Ren, and others watching from the ground, all stared dumbfounded at this scene.

With a sharp clang, Taiyi True Person's Lotus Artifact fell straight to the ground; the sound jolted him upright.

"My god... this! This is the Heavenly Tribulation Curse established by my Master! How is this possible... impossible from every angle!"

Taiyi True Person's worldview shattered.

To casually dismantle the Heavenly Tribulation Curse meant this pink-haired man was a being equal to his Master—thinking of the last time he'd seen Su Han, who was suspected to rival Yuanshi Tianzun, Taiyi True Person's teeth chattered... Wasn't Yuanshi Tianzun the supreme being in this world? Why were beings rivaling his Master appearing one after another... Taiyi True Person frantically wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He had never felt this way before... the depths of this world were unfathomable! "... Thank you!"

Ao Bing's body relaxed, then searing pain erupted from every part of him.

Qi Mu Nanxiong's telepathy keenly caught Ao Bing's thoughts; he immediately extended a finger and lightly tapped—time reversed over Ao Bing's body.

In a single breath, he returned to his peak state.

"Don't let your guard down,"

Qi Mu Nanxiong slowly lifted his head, "The problem isn't that easily resolved."

"What?"

Ao Bing froze for a moment, but before he could ask, the next instant he saw with horror that endless lightning was once again gathering.

"... Again?"

Ne Zha opened his mouth, then clenched his Fire-Tipped Spear, his eyes blazing with fury, "This is too much! I'll fight him to the death!"

"Now is not the time to throw your life away!"

Qi Mu Nanxiong seized Ne Zha and hurled him—Ne Zha shot through the air like a cannonball toward Li Jing.

Finally, Li Jing caught him.

"Then what should we do next...?"

Ao Bing was deeply troubled; he did not doubt Qi Mu Nanxiong's power—having just shattered endless Heavenly Tribulation was proof enough... but Qi Mu Nanxiong couldn't stay in Ne Zha's world forever! If the Heavenly Tribulation kept coming endlessly, how could this problem ever be truly solved? "Simple,"

Qi Mu Nanxiong's eyes gleamed, "Since the Heavenly Tribulation was born from the Heavenly Tribulation Curse, I'll erase the Curse from the causal chain of this world."

"If the Curse no longer exists, won't the Heavenly Tribulation naturally cease to threaten Ne Zha?"

Taiyi True Person, who had been listening intently: "..."

What kind of astonishing move was this? Taiyi True Person stared blankly, doubting he'd heard correctly.

On the other side, Ao Bing froze.

When he finally understood what Qi Mu Nanxiong meant, he swallowed hard, stared at Qi Mu Nanxiong, and felt his scalp go numb.

On the ground,

Yin Fu Ren stroked Ne Zha's hair, her entire attention fixed on him, completely ignoring Qi Mu Nanxiong's presence, her voice trembling.

"It's alright... it's alright now."

Qi Mu Nanxiong turned his head and gazed deeply at Yin Fu Ren and Ne Zha on the ground.

Then he exhaled, and gently slapped his palm against the empty air before him.

He altered a small portion of this world's laws.

Instantly, the lightning above the sky vanished with a swift whoosh.

Within a few breaths, the heavens became clear and boundless.

Just as Qi Mu Nanxiong was about to greet Li Jing, a notification chimed in his ear, causing him to pause, "... Ten thousand points? Not bad."

He nodded slightly, then instantly landed on the ground.

"Master Qi Mu, your great kindness—I don't even know how to thank you!"

Li Jing strode forward, clasped his fists, and bowed deeply to Qi Mu Nanxiong.

"No need for this!"

Qi Mu Nanxiong sidestepped Li Jing's bow and said calmly, "I'm here to say goodbye—I must leave now."

"... What? So soon?"

Li Jing blinked, then hurriedly said, "Can't you at least let us offer you hospitality?"

"No."

Qi Mu Nanxiong shook his head; his telepathy sensed Li Jing's thoughts and immediately explained, "It's not that I'm refusing out of spite..."

"Mainly, I previously altered this world's laws—causing this world's self-protection system... perhaps something like the Dao itself... to target me."

"Although I am not afraid of him, if we truly fight, it will affect the entire world,"

Qi Mu Nanxiong sighed slowly, "So the optimal choice... is for me to leave now."
