Chapter 1363: It Really Exploded

"Whoosh!"

Under the horrified gaze of everyone present, dozens of massive fire lotuses flew into the high sky.

They were more enchanting than flowers, more dazzling than flowers, slowly rotating as the petals woven from flames bloomed in the high altitude.

Boom—!

What should have been a beautiful scene of blooming instead triggered a series of deafening explosions.

The vast firmament was instantly blasted into a brilliant display.

The void twisted into a mess on the spot, scorched by the blazing flames, and blinding radiance filled all directions, covering even the sky.

A massive, invisible, and fierce shockwave expanded from the center of all the fire lotuses, sweeping outward with a violent impact that ravaged a thousand miles.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"

In Heavenly Fiend City, countless cultivators with lower cultivation levels groaned on the spot, spat out a stream of blood, and collapsed to the ground, pale-faced.

Even though they were just staying in Heavenly Fiend City and the range of the fire lotus explosion was far away from them, they were still injured by the shock.

No one could contend with such terrifying destructive power.

All the cultivators felt shocked and exceptionally terrified.

"This is 'Exploding the Sky'... so this is what 'Exploding the Sky' actually means..." Someone stared blankly at the devastated sky, muttering to themselves, their expression somewhat dazed and bewitched.

"Who exactly are they? Does the Exploding Heaven Gang really have such terrifying people... every single one of them?" Someone looked at the dozens of black-robed figures standing with Xu Que inside the restricted area, their heart trembling.

"This kind of destructive power, I'm afraid even ordinary Immortal Kings would find it hard to withstand!"

"Even if it's not fatal, it's enough to make people wary!" someone said in a deep voice, analyzing rationally.

At the same time, the flames in the sky above also began to gradually dissipate.

The brilliant radiance slowly dimmed, but the sky revealed before everyone was already a mess.

"Hiss!"

The entire scene was left with only the sound of gasping.

Everyone's eyes were dull as they looked at the sky, their bodies unable to stop trembling.

The entire firmament was now fragmented, covered in dense cracks.

Looking closely, those were countless crescent-moon-shaped void rifts, like a complete piece of cloth that had been cut with scissors, leaving many tears.

The sky at this moment was just like that—like a tattered rag, yet it made people's hearts tremble with fear.

The so-called sky is something you can see but cannot touch!

You can see the sky when you look up, but no matter how high you fly, you will never be able to touch it.

Therefore, when Xu Que first declared that he was going to "explode the sky," except for Er Gou, Duan Jiude, and the others, none of the other cultivators present took those words to heart.

They were focused on Xu Que's wild talk and his audacity to be disrespectful to the Heavens.

But now, they were dumbfounded, feeling as if a new world had opened up, suddenly realizing that this was what "Exploding the Sky" meant!

As long as you treat what you see as the sky, then why can't it be exploded?

This wasn't self-deception; it was truly, genuinely exploding the sky!

Those fragmented void rifts were in the air, and that piece of sky belonged to the Heavens.

Therefore, this man really had exploded the sky!

"Interesting, and... I've learned something! This person really surprises me. If he were placed in the Immortal Cloud Continent, he would also be a ruthless person famous throughout the world!" Outside the restricted area, after the black-clad woman regained her composure, she said in a deep voice.

This time, there was not a hint of mockery in her tone, and her description of Xu Que had even changed from "this little guy" to "this person"!

Even as an Immortal Venerable, she could no longer treat Xu Que as a junior who could be manipulated at will.

"This kind of action is indeed very surprising. At least from ancient times until now, no one has ever done such a thing!" Nishang Fairy also nodded, her brows tightly locked.

"However..." she continued, "what shocks us is that he achieved this act, but in fact, this technique is not as powerful as we thought. Things like tearing void rifts can be done by normal Great Luo Immortals!"

"That is true, but the key to this problem lies in the fact that he was able to use such a low-level technique to cause such destructive power. Don't you find that terrifying?" The black-clad woman looked at Nishang Fairy with a smile.

Nishang Fairy fell silent.

It could not be denied that in their eyes, the Three-Colored Fire Lotus was indeed just a very low-level technique, not profound at all.

It merely borrowed the characteristics of three fire lotuses with different attributes, forcibly fused and compressed them, and utilized the mutually repulsive energy of the flames to cause this level of destructive power.

But its flaws were also obvious: the range of the power's impact was too vast; the seemingly powerful destructive force was actually not concentrated.

If a force could be concentrated and erupted at a single point, it would be terrifying.

But if this force was dispersed and only caused a visual impact on people, in the eyes of some experts, it became very impractical!

For example, Xu Que's Three-Colored Fire Lotus was now purely being used to vent his anger by bombing the firmament.

If he were to encounter an opponent of the same level or a higher level, the power of the Three-Colored Fire Lotus could no longer kill the opponent in seconds as it had before; at most, it could only bring injuries to the opponent.

But for opponents at their level, injuries were no big deal in the face of their powerful self-healing abilities!

Of course, as the black-clad woman said, for Xu Que, a mere Great Luo Scattered Immortal, to be able to create such great destructive power with such a low-level technique was in itself a very astonishing thing.

And to have really exploded the sky, blasting so many void rifts into the firmament, was indeed very surprising and horrifying.

"However, this serves no purpose! He is just venting his anger. Do you really think the Heavens will withdraw the Heavenly Tribulation because of him?" Nishang Fairy shook her head and said expressionlessly.

In her eyes, these actions of Xu Que were all nonsensical.

You provoked the Heavenly Might and shattered the sky, so what?

Can a single word of yours command the firmament?

This was simply too naive and ignorant!

"That might not be the case. On the contrary, I feel that his fearlessness might have... hmm? What does he want to do?" The black-clad woman's words were only half-finished when her expression suddenly changed, and she looked at the restricted area in astonishment.

At this moment, Xu Que suddenly soared into the sky, gripping his Purple-Gold King-Forcing Staff, charging against the wind with a murderous aura.

The dozens of black-robed figures beside him also followed him up one after another, and each figure waved a large hand, gripping an identical Purple-Gold King-Forcing Staff.

Violent murderous aura surged from everyone as they charged toward the firmament!

"Holy crap!"

"What is he trying to do?"

"He's not stopping even after exploding the sky?"

"My Heavens! Every one of them has a staff in their hand, and they're all top-grade Immortal Artifacts!"

Everyone present was frightened by this sudden scene, and a clamor erupted!

Er Gou was also stunned for a moment and hurriedly shouted, "It's nothing, the tenet of our Exploding Heaven Gang is: join the gang, get a top-grade Immortal Artifact!"

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched instantly, and their hearts twitched along with them.

Join the gang and get a top-grade Immortal Artifact?

Damn it, how wealthy must this Exploding Heaven Gang be! Is their foundation really this terrifying?

Those were top-grade Immortal Artifacts; even existences at the Immortal King level might not necessarily possess one, yet you Great Luo Immortals each have one, and they are all identical?

"Everyone, this God Venerable declares here that things like top-grade Immortal Artifacts are just entry-level weapons in our Exploding Heaven Gang. We have a regular production line, assembly line work, but it doesn't affect the quality. Anything produced by the Exploding Heaven Gang must be a boutique!"

Speaking of this, Er Gou raised the corner of its mouth: "Before long, the Exploding Heaven Artifact Refining Tower, founded by this God Venerable, will be opening soon. Those interested can come to show your support!"

"Damn, at a time like this, you still have the mood to joke? Don't you see that kid is about to go crazy?" Duan Jiude had black lines on his forehead.

Xu Que charging into the sky full of void rifts like this was truly an unwise move. If he were swallowed by a void rift, he might be banished into the void forever, lost within it.

"This God Venerable is serious! I really am going to open an artifact refining tower to play around! As for that kid, it's not the first time he's gone crazy, anyway, this God Venerable isn't worried!" Er Gou replied heartlessly.

It still understood Xu Que very well; this guy never did things he wasn't sure about. If there were, he usually did it himself, but now that he could drag so many clones to cause trouble, it was obvious he hadn't gone crazy!

"Now that you put it that way, it does make sense!" Duan Jiude was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Damn it, even I, an old man, was almost fooled. But... what does he want to do this time?"

"This... even this God Venerable can't guess!" Er Gou scratched the back of its head and shook it.

Everyone focused their attention on Xu Que and the dozens of black-robed figures.

They rose against the wind, holding their Purple-Gold King-Forcing Staffs high with both hands, like an ancient demonic army, fighting against the blue sky!

"Exploding Heaven Gang, take orders!"

Finally, after approaching those dense void rifts, Xu Que shouted in a deep voice, issuing an order, his Purple-Gold King-Forcing Staff pointing straight at the firmament: "Stab this sky open for me!"

"Yes!"

Dozens of figures shouted in unison.

Following closely, the Purple-Gold King-Forcing Staffs filling the sky shone with blinding luster, stabbing into those void rifts in one go, a single strike into the hole, straight to the heart of the dragon!
