Chapter 1358: Who Do You Think You Are

The Nishang Fairy and the black-clad woman both recognized the identity of that third human-shaped lightning—one of the Four Great Immortal Emperors of Immortal Cloud Continent, Immortal Emperor Yongzhen!

It was perfectly normal for the cultivators of Tianzhou not to recognize Immortal Emperor Yongzhen, after all, they had not yet reached that level.

But how could the black-clad woman and the Nishang Fairy, who had grown up in the Yongzhen Immortal Domain of Immortal Cloud Continent, possibly fail to recognize this supreme existence?

They had never imagined that the Heavenly Dao, employing such a method, would actually evolve into a human-shaped lightning of Immortal Emperor Yongzhen in his youth.

Although his cultivation was still at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, his aptitude and strength in every aspect were clearly above the Nishang Fairy's!

The moment it appeared, it struck Xu Que with thunderous speed before he could react, which proved everything.

"Holy shit, who is that guy, he's so strong!" Er Gouzi exclaimed.

"It's rare to see something like this. If that kid's flesh body weren't strong enough, he would definitely have been crushed and killed instantly!" Duan Jiude's expression hardened, very solemn.

The strength of this human-shaped lightning was truly no joke!

Previously, whether it was the human-shaped lightning of that Heavenly General or the Nishang Fairy, when facing Xu Que, although Xu Que had suffered some minor losses, they weren't obvious.

In everyone's eyes, it hadn't risen to the level of being instantly killed. At most, they felt that if Xu Que was a bit careful, he would also have a chance to counterattack and win.

But now, this human-shaped lightning instantly let everyone see the gap.

From the moment it struck until now, the human-shaped lightning had been suppressing Xu Que the entire time.

Even though the power of the Ancient Calamity couldn't break through Xu Que's defense, Xu Que actually couldn't find an opportunity to strike and kill this human-shaped lightning in a short time.

"He is an Immortal Emperor, the Immortal Emperor of the Yongzhen Immortal Domain!" Zixia Fairy said in a low voice, her expression equally grave.

She hadn't expected that the human-shaped lightning of this Immortal Emperor would actually appear; the difficulty had suddenly increased too much.

"Holy crap, for real? If that's the case, if Que-ge defeats it, doesn't that prove Que-ge's aptitude is even more badass than an Immortal Emperor's?" Er Gouzi said, eyes wide.

"You can't compare it like that!" Duan Jiude shook his head: "Xu Que, that kid, is still lacking a bit. Although his flesh body is strong enough, which is a kind of strength of his, this can't be counted as a comparison of aptitude. Without this flesh body, he would have died many times over!"

At these words, Zixia Fairy also nodded in silent agreement.

Duan Jiude was right; even if Xu Que truly won, it couldn't prove his aptitude was stronger than that Immortal Emperor's.

But now the key question was, could Xu Que win?

How could he win?

As far as she knew, after Immortal Emperor Yongzhen stepped into the Great Luo Immortal Realm in his youth, he was an invincible existence of the same level, completely crushing his opponents.

Even the Immortal Emperors of the other Three Great Immortal Domains, when at the Great Luo Immortal Realm, couldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Immortal Emperor Yongzhen.

Immortal Emperor Yongzhen was a genius-type Immortal Emperor.

The other three Immortal Emperors, although their aptitude could also be considered outstanding, in comparison, actually belonged to the Great Vessel Comes Late type of Immortal Emperor.

Therefore, watching the battle, Zixia Fairy found it hard to set her mind at ease.

Because... that Immortal Emperor probably wasn't going all out!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

At this moment, Xu Que on the field was still entangled with Immortal Emperor Yongzhen's human-shaped lightning; the two sides had already exchanged hundreds of moves, going back and forth.

But Xu Que had gradually begun to feel a sense of helplessness; at some unknown point, beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

The strength of this human-shaped lightning before him greatly exceeded his expectations.

"Too strong. Even without using dharma spells, this person's speed is actually not inferior to mine!"

Xu Que muttered to himself, growing more and more curious about the identity and background of this human-shaped lightning as the fight continued.

With his kind of aptitude and strength, if he had lived until now, what realm would he be at?

Whoosh!

Suddenly, just as Xu Que was preparing to find an opportunity to close in and use the King of Acting Cool Fist to finish off his opponent, that human-shaped lightning suddenly retreated backward, as if it had guessed Xu Que's intention.

This startled Xu Que instantly.

Mai Pi, it can even predict what I'm trying to do?

But the next moment, Xu Que knew he was overthinking.

The human-shaped lightning wasn't retreating; it was more like being pulled away by an invisible force.

Its figure dragged a streak of light across the ground, instantly returning to its origin point—inside the golden beam beneath that Fourth Thunder Cloud.

This left Xu Que stunned once again, feeling puzzled.

Everyone present was also confused.

What was going on?

This human-shaped lightning had only fought halfway, why did it shrink back on its own?

"Boom!"

At this moment, a deafening clap of thunder sounded.

The Fourth Thunder Cloud rolled and churned, the golden beam grew increasingly blazing, the golden beam dazzling to the eye.

Immediately after, the figure from just before stepped out from the beam once more, its entire body much more solid than before, its aura even more astonishingly powerful.

"Holy shit!"

Xu Que seemed to have realized something, and his face immediately changed.

Most of the cultivators in Tian Sha City were still utterly baffled, but a small number of people clearly saw the truth and cried out in shock on the spot.

"My heavens!"

"So the current human-shaped lightning is the real human-shaped lightning!"

"Earlier, the heavenly tribulation hadn't finished brewing, but that human-shaped lightning charged out on its own to fight Xu Que. So halfway through the fight, it was pulled back. The one walking out now is the complete form of this heavenly tribulation!"

"Damn, if that's the case, the human-shaped lightning that almost suppressed Xu Que just now was only a half-finished product?"

"Hiss! Then with the complete form out this time, wouldn't Xu Que..."

Everyone couldn't continue speaking at this point, their gazes all focusing on the center of the battlefield.

Xu Que had clearly realized it too. This human-shaped lightning was too powerful and extremely battle-hungry; before it had even finished condensing, it had charged out from the beam to launch a sneak attack, fought him for hundreds of moves, then shrunk back and came out as a complete form.

Damn it, this is simply not taking this Saint of Acting Cool seriously!

"It seems his Road ends here!" Nishang Fairy shook her head; this time, she was absolutely certain.

The woman in black instead felt somewhat doubtful, shaking her head slightly: "The Immortal Emperor wasn't going all out just now, but how do you know whether that little fellow was going all out just now?"

"Could it be that you think he can defeat an Immortal Emperor?" Nishang Fairy frowned, looking at the woman in black.

The woman in black blinked and smiled: "Not necessarily! Moreover, I'm very much looking forward to seeing who exactly this person is, whose talent is so great that the final Heavenly Tribulation appears even later than the Immortal Emperor's!"

Nishang Fairy was stunned, her gaze also shifting to the Fifth Thunder Cloud as she fell into thought.

At the same time, within the Forbidden Zone, Xu Que and the Human-shaped Lightning of Immortal Emperor Yongzhen had already confronted each other!

Eyes met, sparks flew, and Killing Intent surged!

Xu Que simply drew out the Purple-Gold King-Forcing Staff as well, deciding to use it to battle this Human-shaped Lightning.

After all, a longer reach means greater strength; this Human-shaped Lightning was too fast, and fighting it bare-handed would be far too time-consuming.

"Come on, this time, let's see how many rounds you can withstand against me!" A smile curled Xu Que's lips as he hooked his pinky finger at the Human-shaped Lightning, brimming with provocation.

Outside the Forbidden Zone, Nishang Fairy's face immediately darkened: "Presumptuous! He actually dares to show such disrespect to an Immortal Emperor!"

The woman in black immediately burst out laughing with a "Pfft," her face full of oddity: "Nishang Fairy, this is Tianzhou; who here knows Immortal Emperor Yongzhen? Besides, this is merely a Human-shaped Lightning; is there any need for you to take it so seriously?"

"It is a Human-shaped Lightning, but it is also an Immortal Emperor; no one may show disrespect. Disrespect toward an Immortal Emperor is disrespect toward my Imperial Palace and the Holy Moon Hall!" Nishang Fairy replied coldly, utterly serious.

"Fine then, but what if he really blasts and kills the Immortal Emperor's Human-shaped Lightning? Wouldn't that be..." the woman in black said with a smiling expression.

However, before she could finish, Nishang Fairy immediately cut her off, stating decisively: "Impossible!"

"Boom—!"

Almost simultaneously, an earth-shattering roar echoed from within the Forbidden Zone.

Xu Que and the Immortal Emperor's Human-shaped Lightning had already collided, causing the Golden Beam to surge instantly, filling all directions.

Before everyone's dumbfounded eyes, that Immortal Emperor's Human-shaped Lightning exploded into fragments on the spot.

Everyone was dumbstruck, including Nishang Fairy and the woman in black; their foreheads seemed covered in question marks!

What happened?

What exactly just happened?

What the hell was that?

That was a complete-form Immortal Emperor Human-shaped Lightning!

Shouldn't it have been even more powerful?

Shouldn't it have crushed and suppressed Xu Que to death?

Why was it ended by Xu Que in an instant...?

"Heh, trash, trying to ambush this Saint of Acting Cool? You're nothing!"

At this moment, Xu Que's shamelessly cheeky voice rang out from within the Forbidden Zone.
