Chapter 108

"Pfft!"

On the altar, the Tiger King's eyes were splitting with rage, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Half of it was because he couldn't withstand the power of the lightning pool, and the other half was because he was infuriated by Xu Que!

If Xu Que hadn't been here causing trouble, he would not only have been able to endure the baptism of two lightning pools today, but he would also have been able to summon the sixth heavenly tribulation for tempering.

But now, just because of this monkey, everything was gone!

The Tiger King was truly going mad with rage; grinding his teeth and staring at the monkey shouting and singing beneath the altar, he wished he could rush down immediately, hack him into a thousand pieces, and tear him to shreds!

But since he had already triggered one lightning pool, he had to accept the baptism and endure this surge of lightning power no matter what.

Bolts of lightning, like a flood, continuously hammered his body; wherever they struck, his flesh would split open, and blood flowed incessantly!

He opened his mouth to swallow a Blood Origin Pill to let his wounds heal, but his flesh became even tougher, and then he continued to endure the impact of the lightning pool!

Meanwhile, Xu Que, beneath the altar, had thoroughly become the center of everyone's attention.

His One-Star Musician skill was truly remarkable, especially when he shifted the zither music into a rock style; with many people singing along, the power increased dramatically, the influence spread instantly, and it almost moved the entire crowd!

The entire lightning pool area seemed to have become Xu Que's personal concert. Su Ling'er stood in the crowd, pursing her lips with a smile, watching Xu Que, who was roaring and singing, her eyes shining brightly.

"This Sun Friend... is truly incredible!"

"What a brilliant and talented person!"

"Great King, if we could keep him in our tribe, our clan would have hope of seeing the light of day again!"

"That's right, Great King. Under the heavens, only this Sun Friend is the most suitable match for you!"

"Exactly, exactly! A talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven!"

Several old men from the Heavenly Demon Tribe began to hint to Su Ling'er, and by the end, it had almost become an explicit suggestion.

Su Ling'er, however, turned a deaf ear, just staring at Xu Que with a faint smile on her lips, seemingly lost in thought!

"Roar!"

At this moment, an earth-shattering tiger roar suddenly descended from the altar.

Xu Que's mass rock music was instantly shattered by this tiger roar, and a majestic killing intent also instantly permeated the entire scene.

Everyone was startled and looked up, only to see that the Tiger King had finished the lightning pool baptism and the tribulation was over!

Xu Que was also stunned for a moment and exclaimed, "Holy crap, you haven't been struck to death by lightning yet?"

"Monkey head, give me your life!"

The Tiger King roared in anger, rushed down directly from the altar, turned into a phantom, and headed straight for Xu Que.

Xu Que raised the corner of his mouth, just about to let the system lift the cultivation seal and then smash this Tiger King to death with a staff.

But a white shadow suddenly flashed past him.

With a loud "bang," the Tiger King and that white shadow were both repelled by each other.

Six clean, bright white tails also appeared in front of Xu Que; it was Su Ling'er who had blocked this blow for him.

"Su Ling'er, do you want to meddle in other people's business?" the Tiger King roared angrily.

"Hand over my sister!" Su Ling'er scolded coldly, her body also filled with killing intent!

The Tiger King sneered, "Heh heh, you still know you have a sister? Get lost, otherwise, this King will definitely make you regret it for the rest of your life!"

"If you dare to touch Little Seven, my Heavenly Demon Tribe will definitely fight your Myriad Demon Tribe to the death. You can try!" Su Ling'er did not retreat at all and replied coldly.

At this moment, Xu Que also discovered for the first time that Su Ling'er actually had such a tough side; her kingly demeanor was simply incredible. She was truly worthy of being a tribal king!

"Heavenly Demon Tribe? Heh, this King has already finished the heavenly tribulation. This Demon Emperor position should be sat by this King. If you want to go to war with my Myriad Demon Tribe, that is going to war with the entire clan!" the Tiger King roared, his voice resounding in all directions.

But those few old men from the Heavenly Demon Tribe wouldn't have it. They jumped out, blowing their beards and staring, and scolded, "Tiger King, stop talking nonsense! You just passed the Five Heavens Tribulation, plus one lightning pool baptism, which is the same score as our Great King's Six Heavens Tribulation. What qualifications do you have to call yourself Demon Emperor?"

The Tiger King sneered, "Everyone present saw that I had already triggered the sixth heavenly tribulation, but it was just interrupted by this monkey head. But it still proves that my strength is the strongest. This Demon Emperor position should be sat by me!"

"That's right, the Tiger King just triggered the sixth heavenly tribulation, which shows he has that strength."

"And he also triggered the second lightning pool later, but it was still disturbed by that monkey head, so the Tiger King should be at eight points now!"

"The Tiger King is the most qualified candidate to be the new Demon Emperor."

The alien races of the Myriad Demon Tribe stood up one after another to speak for their king.

The few old men of the Heavenly Demon Tribe were furious and cursed, "You are all talking nonsense! If it weren't for you threatening our Great King to go first, our Great King would have already triggered two lightning pools for baptism!"

"Who threatened your Great King? You old guys, stop throwing dirt. It's obviously that your skills are inferior to others. Don't look for excuses anymore!" The alien races of the Myriad Demon Tribe immediately retorted.

"A bunch of animals who dare to do it but don't dare to admit it! Quickly hand over Su Xiaoqi, otherwise our Heavenly Demon Tribe will declare war on you!"

"Declare war then! Does my Myriad Demon Tribe fear you?"

Suddenly, both sides were arguing, and the situation was deadlocked.

The other alien races also looked at each other, but they didn't intervene, all sitting and waiting for the result!

At this time, Xu Que finally walked out impatiently, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, stop arguing. Isn't it just the Demon Emperor position? What's there to fight about? So many people here haven't passed the tribulation yet, how do you know that this Demon Emperor position must be yours?"

"Monkey head, stop talking nonsense here. Do you have the qualifications to speak here?" Tiger Brother also popped out at this time, staring at Xu Que with angry eyes and gnashing teeth.

Several alien races behind him also scolded, "Ignorant person, get back quickly. In this lightning pool area, besides our Great King and Su Ling'er, who else can get more than six points?"

Xu Que sneered, "You bunch of idiots, how do you know there isn't if you don't try?"

"You wouldn't be trying to say it's you, would you?" Tiger Brother's face showed a touch of mockery and playfulness at this time, and he sneered.

Xu Que's eyes lit up, "Yo, you little idiot are quite smart. That's right, it's this Great Sage, Sun Wukong!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned, followed by a burst of uproarious laughter.

"Haha, is this monkey stupid? He actually wants to compete for the Demon Emperor position?"

"A mere Golden Core stage, the light of a rice grain, dares to compete with the bright moon?"

"Truly overestimating his own strength, what a wild fantasy!"

"Get back, monkey head. Passing the heavenly tribulation isn't something you can do by cooking some feces or playing a tune!"

"Passing the heavenly tribulation requires strength!"

Hearing this, Xu Que raised the corner of his mouth, "Strength? I happen to have that too!"

After speaking, he leaped up and jumped onto the... stairs of the altar, walking up step by step!

Seeing this scene, everyone laughed again!

"Haha, is he doing this on purpose?"

"He can't even get on the altar and has to walk the stairs!"

"Maybe he wants to save some True Essence to withstand the heavenly tribulation!"

"What's the use of saving that little True Essence? I think he can only trigger the Three Heavens Lightning Tribulation at most!"

"That's right, after all, he's only at the Golden Core stage perfection. The Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation can only trigger up to the Three Heavens!"

Many alien races shook their heads, unable to hold back their laughter, thinking that Xu Que would only make a fool of himself if he went up!

And on the Heavenly Demon Tribe side, several old men also had stiff expressions, looking slightly embarrassed.

In their view, what Xu Que said just now... was indeed a bit too boastful, making them feel a bit ashamed!

A trace of astonishment also flashed in Su Ling'er's eyes, but watching Xu Que's back as he walked up the altar step by step, she never spoke.

Vaguely, she somewhat believed that this brilliant and talented monkey might really be able to create a miracle!

"Boom!"

At this moment, Xu Que had already stepped onto the altar, and the entire altar instantly made a loud noise, once again shrouded in majestic lightning. Once someone goes up to pass the tribulation, the altar will be sealed.

Below the stage, the people of the Myriad Demon Tribe looked at Xu Que coldly.

Suddenly, one person reacted and said happily, "That's right, we can also disturb him and make him fail even one heaven of lightning tribulation!"

"That's right, treat him as he treats others. Let's do it!"

"Haha, good idea. When he summons the heavenly tribulation, we'll sing, sing a song to humiliate the monkey!"

The group was full of excitement, discussing how to retaliate against Xu Que.

The Tiger King stared coldly at Xu Que, a cold chill filling his eyes!

He had already decided that once this monkey finished the tribulation, he would definitely deal a lethal blow, regardless of whether Su Ling'er stopped him or not!

At the same time, Xu Que had already walked to the center of the altar, staring at the firmament.

But after a long while, there was no sign of the heavenly tribulation descending.

Yet he didn't know how to summon the heavenly tribulation. After all, other people's heavenly tribulations had already arrived but were suppressed until today.

But he wasn't; his heavenly tribulation happened to be today.

But the system didn't say when the heavenly tribulation would arrive today, which was awkward.

Xu Que was helpless. With a thought, he summoned the system and asked, "System, when is the heavenly tribulation coming? Don't tell me I have to wait here? That would be so boring!"

"Ding! The host's heavenly tribulation will arrive in four hours. Please wait patiently!"

"Holy crap, four hours? Isn't that eight hours? No way, I'm very busy. Is there any way to actively summon the heavenly tribulation?" Xu Que said speechlessly.

"Yes, but it will increase the difficulty of the heavenly tribulation again."

"Afraid of a hair? Tell me, what way?" Xu Que said, not caring at all.

The system was silent for a moment before responding, "Please, host, just act cool, and you can summon the heavenly tribulation!"

"Act cool?"

Xu Que raised his eyebrows and was immediately happy.

This was too simple.

Immediately, he looked at the sky, took a deep breath, and said eloquently, "It is said that when I was born, a piece of auspicious cloud appeared in the north of the sky, gradually coming from far to near..."

Hearing Xu Que inexplicably start talking about his birth experience, everyone immediately quieted down, seemingly wanting to hear what kind of background this virtue-lacking monkey head had.

And seeing that he had successfully attracted everyone's attention, Xu Que said even more affectionately and vividly, "That cloud floated behind my house... and transformed into a character: Handsome!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately had black lines all over their heads.

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 30 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 50 Acting Cool Points!"

Hearing so many prompts for successfully acting cool, Xu Que became even more energetic. Like a machine gun, he continued to say quickly, "When my father saw me, he cried hoarsely for a month and a half. He refused to believe that I was his child inherited from his chromosomes. Several times, he rushed to my mother's bed with a knife, waving it and saying he would chop me into meat paste. My mother protected me with her life, and only then did I survive. My grandfather has had glaucoma for more than ten years and couldn't tell a person from a dog from a meter away. However, when I appeared in front of him, the old man burst into tears, poked his own eyes out, and has never seen the light of day since, saying he didn't want to see people again to avoid future trouble..."

Everyone was about to faint. They had never seen anyone boast so shamelessly and brazenly...

However, on Xu Que's face, he continued to shout painfully, "Women all over the world are crazy about my appearance. Even a female fly is proud to land on my shoulder. Everyone is madly obsessed with me and pursues me. I... have no freedom at all. So I ran desperately, ran desperately... and finally ran to a high mountain. I questioned Heaven, why? Why treat me like this? I was extremely angry. I hate this sky! I hate this earth! Why? Why am I so handsome? No! I want to resist this fate. I don't want to do nothing just because of a face. Doesn't that bury my talent and the meaning of life?"

Lowering his head, Xu Que looked brightly, pointed above the lightning pool, and shouted almost hoarsely, "Actually... I'm not handsome!"

"Boom—!"

Instantly, a deafening thunderclap exploded, as if even the Heavenly God had been angered.

Xu Que suddenly felt his scalp go numb, as if he heard a voice from the air saying, "You are lying!"

The next moment, the entire firmament changed color, dark clouds gathered, wild winds howled, and majestic and terrifying lightning bolts shuttled through the clouds like giant dragons!

The heavenly tribulation hadn't descended yet, but this movement was already countless times more terrifying than the heavenly tribulations passed by Su Ling'er and the Tiger King!
