Chapter 1356: A Monster Among Monsters

"This... how is it possible?"

"That fellow simply isn't human!"

"He is a monster, a true monster, a monster among monsters!"

"The Ancient Calamity itself was already powerful; after condensing into a Dharma Spell and crashing down upon him, he remains completely unharmed!"

"Isn't his Flesh Body comparable to that Dao Fetus Divine Body from the Holy Sect?"

"No, I fear even that Dao Fetus Divine Body could not achieve what he has done!"

Countless Cultivators within Tian Sha City cried out in shock and discussed the matter in disbelief.

The siblings Ji Qinghan and Ji Wu Yun were already dumbfounded, completely unable to imagine that Xu Que had become powerful to such an extent.

Chang Duan Geng likewise collapsed onto the ground, his entire body trembling, cold sweat beading on his forehead, his face ashen as death.

From the moment those ten Immortal Kings died, he had already despaired!

But upon seeing Xu Que, at the realm of a Great Luo Loose Immortal, directly confront the Ancient Calamity so forcefully, he felt utterly numb with terror.

Even though he himself was a Great Luo True Immortal, one small tier higher than a Great Luo Loose Immortal, he felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.

He felt that if he were to face Xu Que head-on, he would likely be smashed to pieces by a single fist!

"Tch, these people are really making a fuss over nothing! My Brother Que being this awesome isn't something that started just yesterday!" Er Gouzi swept a disdainful glance over the crowd and said arrogantly.

"Tsk, this kid can't go a day without showing off; even this old man can't bear to watch it anymore!" Duan Jiude, however, expressed immense disgust.

He had already seen the sparkling eyes of Zixia Fairy; the more outstanding and powerful Xu Que performed, the deeper his own master would fall!

"Impossible, how could he possibly withstand this move and remain unscathed!" At the same time, outside the Forbidden Zone, Nishang Fairy also wore a look of shock.

Xu Que, with his back to the Human-shaped Lightning, had accepted that Dharma Spell strike, causing her to be unavoidably stunned.

The woman in black likewise opened her mouth in astonishment, exclaiming in shock, "Your technique 'Frost Moon Accompaniment' actually had no effect on him?"

"We underestimated him!" Nishang Fairy's expression rapidly turned grave as she said in a deep voice, "This lad's Flesh Body surpasses our imagination; it is extremely likely to be the legendary Nether King Overlord Body!"

"Nether King Overlord Body?" The woman in black's complexion changed.

"Only a Great Accomplishment Nether King Overlord Body could possibly withstand my move and remain unharmed, but... this seems incorrect; at his age and cultivation level, it is absolutely impossible for him to have cultivated a Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body!" Nishang Fairy said in a deep voice, her gaze remaining tightly fixed on Xu Que.

The strength Xu Que had displayed far exceeded her estimates.

Even though her Human-shaped Lightning possessed true strength only equal to her own cultivation at the Great Luo Loose Immortal stage, she, at the Great Luo Loose Immortal stage, had already been a standout on Immortal Cloud Continent, nearly invincible among peers, with no more than five people capable of fighting her!

Yet now, she attacked Xu Que with the most vigorous Dharma Spell from her Great Luo Loose Immortal period, and Xu Que, without any defensive measures, directly confronted it with his Flesh Body, ultimately remaining unscathed.

What did this signify?

It signified that Xu Que's strength was already countless times greater than hers during her Great Luo Loose Immortal period!

"This... could it be that his Flesh Body has already surpassed the Hegemon Body? But where in this world is there a Flesh Body that surpasses the Hegemon Body? Even a true Divine Body has always been on the same level as the Hegemon Body!" The woman in black was utterly astonished, then added in a joking tone, "It's not like a Saint Body could actually appear, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on the woman in black's face suddenly froze.

Nishang Fairy's gaze instantly met the woman in black's, and both saw shock reflected in each other's eyes.

Saint Body?

This was an absurd and bold conjecture, yet the problem was that if one had to use a physique matching Xu Que's current Flesh Body level, it seemed the only remaining possibility was indeed the Saint Body!

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! From ancient times to the present, no one has ever created a Saint Body; even Divine Spirits cannot accomplish it!" The woman in black shook her head, speaking seriously.

"Perhaps we are overcomplicating things; he might have employed some defensive Immortal Artifact that we failed to detect!" Nishang Fairy nodded.

Regarding the conjecture of a "Saint Body," she truly felt the probability was too low.

Although her own words were also absurd—given their Immortal Venerable realm strength, if Xu Que truly possessed some defensive Immortal Artifact, how could they possibly fail to detect it?

But compared to the conjecture of a "Saint Body," the former possibility was clearly much greater!

"Boom!"

At this moment, the Human-shaped Lightning launched another attack, continuing to kill toward Xu Que.

Xu Que still had no intention of dodging!

He stood in place, propping his chin with one hand, nodding slightly, and muttered to himself, "That's it, it is indeed due to the Dharma Spells!"

As the speed of his realm improvement increased too rapidly, the Dharma Spells Xu Que himself cultivated gradually fell behind those of other experts at the same tier!

Especially after entering Tianzhou, Xu Que rarely utilized other Dharma Spells, basically relying on King of Acting Cool Fist and King of Arrogance Leg, leveraging the bonuses from his Body Movement Method speed and his Small Achievement Saint Body to fight opponents head-on!

This simple and crude combat style was not useless, but once encountering true experts possessing profound Dharma Spells, one would suffer losses!

Of course, there was another crucial point: the System!

Back then, when he swept through Five Elements Mountain and dominated the Four Continents, the System played a huge role!

Now, with the System not yet completing its Level Up, and his Dharma Spells not being as high-tier as others', Xu Que was like a person who had lost his left and right arms, his strength greatly weakened!

"It seems I can only wait for the System to successfully Level Up; hopefully, even higher-tier Dharma Spells will appear! After all... the feeling of being unable to crush and instantly kill opponents is really unpleasant!" Xu Que murmured in a low voice while slowly raising his head.

Since he had now figured out the problem, then... it was time to continue the Tribulation!

"Whoosh!"

His gaze suddenly locked onto the Human-shaped Lightning charging directly toward him!

Eye to eye, the beautiful pupils of the Human-shaped Lightning were filled with nothing but icy coldness and indifference!

This was merely an empty shell, a shell that had only replicated Nishang Fairy's cultivation and Dharma Spells.

"Enough, this kind of Heavenly Tribulation is truly very boring; I am already impatient!" Xu Que spoke, saying indifferently, his gaze also turning toward the sky.

At this moment, Nishang Fairy's Human-shaped Lightning, carrying a vast array of Fog Blades, swept killingly to Xu Que's front.

Xu Que did not even glance at it, his eyes remaining fixed on the sky above.

Just as the Human-shaped Lightning's Dharma Spell was about to crash onto Xu Que, Spiritual Light suddenly burst forth from Xu Que's arm!

Bang!

He raised his hand; the Void rippled like water, and in an instant his entire arm pierced through that Fog Blade, pressing down upon the head of the Human-shaped Lightning!

"Send someone stronger next time!"

Xu Que gazed at the firmament, laughing coldly, then the palm pressing on the Human-shaped Lightning's head suddenly clenched!

"Boom!"

Amid a Shocking roar, the head of the Human-shaped Lightning exploded on the spot!
