Chapter 1376

"At this speed, as long as it takes half an hour, the upgrade will be successful?"

Xu Que's heartbeat accelerated.

He was very much looking forward to what kind of changes would occur after the system upgraded to version 11.0.

Generally speaking, before version 10.0, it could only be considered the first generation of the system, but after entering version 11.0, the system would enter the second generation mode.

Xu Que didn't know exactly what kind of changes it would present, but he was very much looking forward to it.

Thinking back to the beginning, before he stepped into the Half-Immortal Realm, the benefits the system brought him were truly too great, making him sing all the way.

But later, as his realm upgrade speed accelerated, the version effect of the system began to fail to keep up. Coupled with Xu Que's pursuit of his own strength, he gradually left the system behind, only to find that he began to feel powerless when facing high-realm experts!

In fact, his choice was not wrong. If it weren't for happening to encounter the era of these Immortal King ancestors being born, his own strength alone would have been enough to dominate the entire Tianzhou!

But now it wouldn't work. Countless Immortal King ancestors were born, and outside Tianzhou there was an Immortal Yuan Continent, with strong people standing in great numbers, and even more formidable existences like Immortal Venerables and Immortal Emperors, making Xu Que feel truly powerless.

Therefore, he had to reactivate the system, let the system upgrade to version 11.0, and enter the second stage.

And right now, facing the threat of three Immortal Kings, Xu Que had only two choices!

Either let Fairy Zixia summon her Dao body to fuse, step into the Immortal Venerable Realm in one step, and have her solve this crisis.

Or gamble with fate and bet that the 11.0 version of the system could bring a powerful counterattack.

Logically speaking, the former was the most secure.

But Xu Que didn't want to do that, because the existence of the system made him feel that he hadn't reached the point of no return yet.

Duan Jiude had been revealing that Fairy Zixia's current strength was not her true strength, including the fact that when the Heavenly Martial Sect migrated, Fairy Zixia was left behind for the sake of her Dao body.

She had spent a long time alone in the ruins of the Heavenly Martial Sect, enduring the loneliness of countless years of reincarnation, and was unwilling to let her Dao body fuse.

It was very clear that the Dao she cultivated was different from others. She was letting her Dao body grow stronger, and she was also letting herself grow stronger. When both the Dao body and herself were cultivated to perfection, the two would become one, and everything would fall into place, achieving the Immortal Emperor Realm!

Once she completed the fusion prematurely, everything would be wasted. With Fairy Zixia's current strength, even after fusing with her Dao body, she could at most become an Immortal Venerable, and she would still be a very long distance away from the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Was it necessary to make such a big sacrifice to deal with three Immortal Kings?

It wasn't worth it!

Xu Que would rather take a risk and gamble than let Fairy Zixia's hard work of countless years be wasted, even if Fairy Zixia firmly indicated that she didn't care, Xu Que wouldn't allow it!

"Xuan'er, find a way to break the seal. I have to handle this battle myself!" Xu Que looked at Fairy Zixia and said calmly.

"Why?" Fairy Zixia frowned slightly, somewhat uncomprehending.

In her view, she was willing to make this sacrifice. In her heart, the Immortal Emperor Realm was far inferior to a Supreme Treasure, far inferior to a Xu Que!

But she didn't understand why Xu Que was unwilling to accept this contribution of hers!

"Heh, if I tell you why, will you be obedient? Will you listen?" Xu Que asked with that iconic roguish smile on his face.

"I will!" Fairy Zixia nodded indifferently.

"That's good. Be good, listen, don't ask so much, just do as I say!" Xu Que patted her head, said with a smile, and walked forward.

Fairy Zixia was stunned for a moment, opening her mouth to say something.

But at this moment, Xu Que's voice transmission rang in her ears again: "Trust me, Xuan'er. Dealing with these three Immortal Kings is not worth you making such a big sacrifice. Otherwise, even if we win, I'll still feel heartache! I, Xu Que, never do business at a loss. Even if I'm gambling with my life, I want to fight for it once!"

Hearing this, Fairy Zixia couldn't help but take back the words she hadn't said.

Looking at Xu Que's figure walking forward, she nodded slightly and chose to listen!

In the dark, Xu Que had a sense of confidence in his heart.

This confidence came from his trust in the system!

He always felt that the second stage of the system would be different and would bring him more extraordinary power. He trusted this intuition.

"System, oh system, don't let me down. Although I'm gambling recklessly and without any certainty this time, but... from the very beginning, all of this was brought to me by you. Now I'm pressing all of this onto you!"

Xu Que looked at the system interface in front of him, looking at the slowly advancing upgrade progress bar, and sighed in his heart.

But soon, a smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth: "However, heh heh, even if I bet wrong, it won't be a total loss. After all, I still have a big killer weapon that I haven't released yet! These people had better not provoke me, including you, system!"

Thinking of this, Xu Que suddenly raised his head, a ruthless glint burst out in his eyes, and a cold sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He raised his hand, faced the three Immortal Kings of the Saint Sect and the Heavenly Palace Academy, crooked his little finger: "Come, this King of Pretension will play with you three today and see who can survive until the end!"

"Whoosh!"

The whole audience was in an uproar instantly.

Everyone widened their eyes, looking stunned.

Xu Que was too arrogant. Facing three Immortal Kings, he still dared to provoke them like this, and even didn't let the only Immortal Venerable woman strike?

What was he trying to do?

With the strength of a Great Luo Scattered Immortal, fighting three Immortal King-stage ancestors alone?

"Could it be that he can still summon the Heavenly Tribulation?"

"Impossible. Didn't the Saint Sect ancestor say that he had finished crossing the tribulation in Tian Sha City? There's no reason he could continue crossing the tribulation so soon!"

"I think it's impossible too!"

"Then where does his confidence come from? Daring to declare war on three Immortal King ancestors?"

Many people frowned, full of confusion!

Even Jiang Hongyan, Liu Jingning, Mo Junchen, and others were grave at this moment.

Xu Que didn't say anything, but his actions had already indicated everything.

This guy wanted to solve this matter alone and didn't hope for them to intervene, even though they intervened, it might not have any effect!

"Que-ge seems to be getting serious!" Er Gouzi muttered.

"Heh, don't worry. This kid wouldn't dare to do this without leaving some backup plans. Just now, this old man calculated another divination, and the result was somewhat strange. All the copper coins were standing upright, damn!" Duan Jiude scratched his scalp and said.

"Holy crap, that means it can't be calculated!" Er Gouzi widened his eyes.

"You know shit. If it couldn't be calculated, it wouldn't be like this. Instead, it symbolizes that what happens next will be between misfortune and luck. We had better not intervene casually and need to look for the right timing!" Duan Jiude replied.

Bang!

At the same time, Li Xuanqi had already taken a step, landed from the sky, and stared coldly at Xu Que.

"Xu Que, your father cheated in my Heavenly Palace Academy back then and killed countless teachers and students of our academy. This debt, you should come and pay it back for him!" Li Xuanqi said in a deep voice.

"Heh, I'll pay back your ass!" Xu Que sneered.

"Seeking death!" Li Xuanqi immediately snorted coldly and rushed forward instantly.

Without any more nonsense, he chose to strike directly, wanting to suppress and kill Xu Que.

The two Immortal Kings of the Saint Sect, on the contrary, had gloomy smiles on their faces, watching coldly from the sidelines.

Even though they had heard about Xu Que's deeds in Tian Sha City, they were still full of confidence and didn't believe that Xu Que would have any miracles appear after he had no Heavenly Tribulation.

In fact, that was exactly the case!

When Li Xuanqi appeared in front of Xu Que, Xu Que couldn't even react in time.

In terms of strength, he was indeed still inferior to an Immortal King.

Whether it was speed or power, the gap was too far!

There was an insurmountable gap between a Great Luo Golden Immortal and an Immortal King, not to mention that Xu Que was only a Great Luo Scattered Immortal!

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a loud noise, Li Xuanqi hadn't even fully struck, but just by relying on a pressure full of rage, it was like a giant mountain, heavily smashing onto Xu Que.

Xu Que was shaken back repeatedly, his face somewhat pale.

"Sure enough! If it weren't for the Heavenly Tribulation helping you, you would have already died in Tian Sha City!" Seeing this scene, Li Xuanqi sneered.

The two Immortal Kings of the Saint Sect had also expected this, and the playful smiles on their faces became even more intense.

"Are you sure?" Xu Que narrowed his eyes, smiled, and raised his hand.

Under the sunlight, there seemed to be a few tiny threads between his five fingers, crystal clear, actually connecting several storage rings.

Those storage rings were placed in a very clever position, all falling beside Li Xuanqi, forming a simple small trapping and killing array.

"Bad!"

Li Xuanqi seemed to realize something, his face changed immediately, and he was about to withdraw from the spot.

However, the few tiny threads in Xu Que's hand suddenly became blazing and bright, blooming with radiance.

"Boom—!"

In the deafening loud noise, all the storage rings beside Li Xuanqi exploded instantly.

Fire lotuses, one after another, sprayed out from the storage rings!

Three-colored fire lotuses, six-colored fire lotuses, and finally nine-colored fire lotuses, one after another, were all detonated!

The sea of fire filling the sky, the brilliant radiance, and the scorching high temperature instantly swallowed Li Xuanqi within it.

"Er Gouzi, Duan Jiude, get him, beat him to death!" Almost at the same time, Xu Que shouted, gripped his Purple-Gold King-Forcing Staff, and charged up directly!
