Chapter 127: Boom! Instant Explosion!

Top-grade Spirit Stone?

Su Ling'er and the many Alien Races all froze in surprise.

If you're going to fire the cannon, just fire it properly! What do you need Spirit Stones for at a time like this? And precious Top-grade Spirit Stones at that!

Yet Su Ling'er still took out a Top-grade Spirit Stone and handed it into Xu Que's hand.

"Sun Wukong, did you set up a Teleportation Array?" Su Ling'er asked quietly.

After all, in this realm, the uses of Spirit Stones were nothing more than serving as currency, or absorbing Spiritual Energy for cultivation, or failing that, using them to activate a Teleportation Array.

Now seeing Xu Que demand a Top-grade Spirit Stone, everyone was utterly confused; only Su Ling'er's imagination ran wild, thinking Xu Que had set up a Teleportation Array.

Xu Que merely smiled: "I cannot set up a Teleportation Array. This Spirit Stone is for firing the cannon!"

"Ah?"

Everyone was instantly stunned.

Spirit Stone? Firing the cannon? Is there a connection between the two?

"Originally, this Divine Might Charging Cannon only required a Lower Grade Spirit Stone to activate, but I was afraid it wouldn't kill him, so I might as well use a Top-grade Spirit Stone!" Xu Que said with a smile, simultaneously reaching out to beat the cannon body once, shoving the Top-grade Spirit Stone into the groove.

After all, he had once fought Zhang Danshan and knew how terrifying a powerhouse of that realm was!

Although this Demon Beast Lord before them was only at Infant Transformation Stage Layer One, once one reached such a realm, the inherent defense and strength far exceeded the Nascent Soul Stage by too much; they absolutely could not be underestimated.

But the crowd still did not quite understand; even if a Top-grade Spirit Stone contained vast Spiritual Energy, once it exploded, it couldn't cause any real damage, could it?

"You modified the Spirit Stone into a Shell?" Su Ling'er asked curiously.

"Incorrect."

Xu Que chuckled, exchanging dozens of pairs of Sunglasses from the System Mall and distributing them into everyone's hands. "Come, come, everyone, put on the Sunglasses."

"Hm? Sunglasses?"

The many Alien Races all stared blankly, looking very curiously at these plain, ordinary black Sunglasses!

However, the Demon Beasts outside the Great Hall had long grown impatient, and the Demon Beast Lord was even more furious, roaring: "Monkey head, are you going to fire the cannon or not?"

"I'm firing! Don't rush, son... pfft, I don't have a son like you."

Xu Que slapped the Sunglasses onto his face, then suddenly clapped his hands together, his ten fingers moving like shadows as he swiftly formed several complex hand seals.

Simultaneously, he moved his Divine Sense to adjust the power of the Divine Might Cannon to its maximum!

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, a wisp of Golden Beam bloomed from his hand.

"Are the Sunglasses on?" Xu Que asked loudly, radiating kingly majesty and high spirits.

The many Alien Races behind him: "On!"

Su Ling'er: "Done!"

Su Xiaoqi: "Dead Monkey, hurry up!"

"And the Demon Beasts across from us, are you ready? Friends on the other side of the Mountain, are you ready?" Xu Que stood behind the cannon, shouting majestically toward the outside of the Great Hall.

"Ready!" The Demon Beasts, for some reason, perhaps also growing impatient, shouted in unison.

The Demon Beast Lord's face was filled with disdain, and he Cold Smile: "Ignorant child, a mere Top-grade Spirit Stone, do you really think it can harm This Seat? Come then! Fire the cannon at This Seat! Come!"

"Hehe, I use my two hands to fulfill your dream!"

Xu Que's lips curled upward, his palms carrying surging Golden Spiritual Light, as he suddenly slammed them onto the cannon body.

"Bang!"

The Fine Iron cannon body instantly emitted a trembling sound.

The next moment, all the Runes on the cannon body shone brilliantly, erupting with dazzling Golden Beams that gradually intensified, as if condensing into a Golden Sun, illuminating the surroundings!

A wave of Heaven and Earth Divine Might also suddenly spread out!

The many Demon Beasts outside the Great Hall instantly instinctively raised their hands to block their eyes.

"Hm?"

The Demon Beast Lord let out a sound of surprise and doubt, his brows furrowing slightly; deep within his heart, an unease suddenly arose, as if he were shrouded by intense crisis!

"Boom—!"

Just then, the Divine Might Charging Cannon loaded with the Top-grade Spirit Stone suddenly erupted with a massive Golden Beam.

In an instant, the beam, carrying an atmosphere of destroying Heaven and Earth, suddenly pierced through the Void and violently struck the Demon Beast Lord's chest!

"Bang!"

Before the Demon Beast Lord could react, his entire body was instantly blasted by the beam.

Simultaneously, a violent energy, centered on the Demon Beast Lord, exploded completely!

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a terrifying invisible shockwave rippled through the Void, carrying strong Wind as it spread in all four directions!

A vast number of Demon Beasts outside the City were overturned by the shockwave.

Several Nascent Soul Stage Demon Beasts outside the Great Hall had no time to dodge; in the instant the beam shot out, those few Demon Beasts were already pulverized by the impact, leaving not even a trace of blood.

The Demon Beast Lord was even more so, his entire body blasted flying out, crashing heavily into a large group of Demon Beasts in the distance, remaining motionless for a long time, with his astonishing blood splattered across the ground!

And within the Great Hall, all the Alien Races were terrified into stupidity!

Almost everyone had their mouths wide open, faces filled with horror!

Although the Golden Beam was dazzling and blinding, with the help of the Sunglasses, they saw everything perfectly clearly!

With a single cannon shot, several Nascent Soul Stage Demon Beasts were pulverized, over a thousand low-realm Demon Beasts were destroyed, and a Demon Beast Lord was blasted into an unknown state of life or death!

The entire Demon City, extending outward from the Great Hall entrance, was literally blasted by the Golden Beam into a Ditch, its end reaching straight to the distant City Wall!

This cannon shot, wherever it reached, turned all living things to annihilation; everything ceased to exist!

The entire Great Hall fell silent; the Alien Race members were utterly dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time!

Because this scene far exceeded their imagination!

A mere cannon, plus a single Top-grade Spirit Stone, had unleashed such a terrifying strike.

It was simply... comparable to the peak strike of a strong practitioner at the third or fourth layer of the Infant Transformation Stage!

"How... how could this be..."

A faint, dying voice came from the entrance of the Great Hall.

Tiger King lay on the ground, his flesh and blood muddled, his body half destroyed by the beam's blast. Clearly he wouldn't survive, yet he died with a grievance unavenged.

Before death, he widened the eye in his half-ruined face and strained to utter his final words!

"Ding, congratulations to Host 'Xu Que' on Acting Cool Successfully, reward: Forty Points of Arrogance Value!"

"Ding, congratulations to Host 'Xu Que' on Acting Cool Successfully, reward: Fifty Points of Arrogance Value!"

"Ding, congratulations to Host 'Xu Que' on Acting Cool Successfully, reward: Eighty Points of Arrogance Value!"

"Ding, congratulations to Host 'Xu Que' on Acting Cool Successfully, reward: One Hundred Points of Arrogance Value!"

"Ding, congratulations to Host 'Xu Que' on killing 962 Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Beasts, gaining 7,696,000 Experience Points!"

"Ding, congratulations to Host 'Xu Que' on killing 36 Golden Core Stage Demon Beasts, gaining 1,800,000 Experience Points and 36 Golden Cores!"

"Ding, congratulations to Host 'Xu Que' on killing 6 Nascent Soul Stage Demon Beasts, gaining 1,200,000 Experience Points!"

"Ding, congratulations to Host 'Xu Que' on leveling up twice consecutively, current realm: Yuan Ying Stage Level Six!"

……

A long string of system notification sounds rang out in Xu Que's mind, one after another.

The Demon Beasts of various ranks he had killed numbered over a thousand in total, and the Experience Points gained were simply astonishing—he took them all in one breath.

But at his current realm, advancing from Nascent Soul Stage Layer Four to the Fifth Layer already required several million Experience Points!

These tens of millions of Experience Points were only enough for him to level up twice, and the Experience Points required afterward were also doubling!

Xu Que's gaze swept across the dumbfounded Alien Race members in the Great Hall, and he smiled faintly: "How about it? I told you—give me one hour, and I'll guarantee you a thorough slaughter!"

"……" The crowd gradually came back to their senses, looked at Xu Que, opened their mouths, yet couldn't utter a single word.

Having lived so many years, they had never seen such a spectacle!

First they were surrounded by such a massive Beast Tide, with a Demon Beast Lord of the Infant Transformation Stage overseeing—nearly a certain-death situation.

Yet this New Demon Emperor, who was only at the Nascent Soul Stage, had, within a single hour, cobbled together such a terrifying ultimate weapon—world-shattering, overwhelmingly destructive, slaughtering vast numbers of Demon Beasts!

This was simply crushing them!

Terrifying—truly too terrifying!

A chill ran through everyone's heart, but what followed was a strong light blazing in their eyes!

If the Demon Emperor was this powerful, didn't that mean the Alien Race had hope of rising to greatness?

Immediately, all the Alien Race members exchanged glances.

Then, suddenly, they knelt before Xu Que.

"Greetings, Wu Demon Emperor! Long live our Emperor, ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand thousand years!"

The numerous Alien Race members shouted in unison—including the kings of the other great Tribal factions—voices ringing out in all directions, deafeningly loud!

They were completely won over by Xu Que, their eyes filled with awe and worship!

A strong one should be exactly like this!

……

"Roar!" "Roar!"

But just at this moment, the remaining tens of thousands of Demon Beasts also recovered from their shock and began roaring furiously.

Around the spot where the Demon Beast Lord had fallen, the Demon Beasts retreated one after another, clearing out a wide open space.

Xu Que's eyes swept over sharply, and his heart gave a jolt.

Since he hadn't received a system notification for killing an Infant Transformation Stage powerhouse, clearly that Demon Beast Lord wasn't dead!

And Xu Que had already anticipated this—although the Divine Might Charging Cannon was powerful, its effect was limited; it could only deliver a strike comparable to a peak Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse!

Even now, even with a Top-grade Spirit Stone loaded, it could only barely raise the attack to the level of an Infant Transformation Stage strike; any additional Spiritual Energy would only increase the number of uses!

Moreover, an Infant Transformation Stage powerhouse had inherently vigorous vitality and extremely strong recovery, and this was a Demon Beast Lord—naturally possessing even more terrifying defenses than the Human Race. Simply put, it was a thick-skinned, durable big BOSS.

But in Xu Que's view, this was no big deal.

If one cannon shot couldn't kill it, then two more!

Immediately, the corner of his mouth lifted, and he once again formed hand seals.

Yet almost at that instant, a shadow burst out from the Demon Beast horde, soaring into the air and erupting with a terrifying pressure—like a Giant Mountain—instantly suppressing the entire Demon City.

"Monkey-head, you made This Seat waste a defensive Dharma Artifact and a Five-Star Pill! If I don't grind your bones to dust, This Seat will never rest!"

The figure in the air was none other than the Demon Beast Lord.

At this moment, a massive wound had been torn open in his chest, blood dripping, his face filled with furious shock as he stared ferociously at Xu Que.

Xu Que narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled: "Didn't you just say that if I could harm so much as a single hair on you, you'd call me daddy? Heh heh, you unfilial son—how dare you show disrespect to your father now?"

"Seeking death!"

The Demon Beast Lord flew into a rage from humiliation, suddenly roaring, and with killing intent boiling over, shouted furiously at the army of tens of thousands of Demon Beasts below: "Kill them for me! Trample them into mincemeat! Seize that cannon for This Seat!"

"Roar!"

In an instant, the army of tens of thousands of Demon Beasts erupted in wails and howls like ghosts crying and wolves shrieking, launching another charge, rushing in madly from outside the city.

The many Alien Race members in the Great Hall all changed color drastically, crying out in alarm.

"Not good—quickly protect Demon Emperor Highness!"

"Demon Emperor Highness, rest assured—we will buy you time. Just fire the cannon!"

"Fight a bloody path out! As long as Demon Emperor Highness can escape alive, our race will surely have hope!"

At this moment, all the Alien Races stepped forward one after another, surrounding Xu Que to shield him, willing to sacrifice their lives to ensure his escape.

Xu Que waved his hand, frowning as he said, "What are you all doing? Don't make things worse. Haven't you seen how fierce the power of my Divine Might Cannon is? However many come, I'll kill them all!"

"No." Su Ling'er said with a grave expression, "Sun Wukong, you must escape alive; you absolutely cannot die here!"

"Exactly! Demon Emperor Highness, although this Divine Might Cannon is powerful, in the end there is only one; it cannot withstand the assault of so many Demon Beasts!"

"Indeed, we are already surrounded; a single Divine Might Cannon cannot defend us."

"But as long as you can escape alive and forge more Divine Might Cannons for our race, we will have hope of revival!"

"Soon we will escort you out; even if we die, it will be worth it!"

The many Alien Races declared firmly, duty-bound and already prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice!

Meanwhile, the Demon Beast Lord in the air was accelerating the recovery of his injuries and could not act, yet in his view, this group of Alien Races was doomed.

"Monkey head, I'd just like to see how your single Divine Might Cannon can withstand my Six-Star Beast Army!" the Demon Beast Lord roared with laughter.

Xu Que rubbed the tip of his nose, chuckled awkwardly, and said, "Heh, my apologies! I nearly forgot—I actually have eight Divine Might Cannons here! Come, come, everyone make way!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, eight Divine Might Charging Cannons crashed heavily down into the Great Hall.

The entire arena instantly fell silent!
