Chapter 1474: The Battle of Tianzhou
Xuan Yuan Wanrong was somewhat angered at this moment.
Although she had now recovered her memories, the Memory World had not yet completely collapsed, and her strength and realm had not been restored.
But even now, she clearly understood that even if her strength and realm were restored, she would likely still be no match for Xu Que.
The old Dean Wang Chi, along with those four divine statues, were all more powerful than she had been at her peak, yet they had still been easily slain by Xu Que.
This lad... what exactly has he cultivated to become so terrifying, like a mad demon?
Xuan Yuan Wanrong gazed into Xu Que's eyes and felt waves of chill run down her spine.
"Xu Que, you are being controlled by demonic thoughts; do not revel in slaughter, otherwise you will be completely lost and degenerate into a mad demon devoid of perception," Xuan Yuan Wanrong said, her crisp voice sounding like music from heaven.
She attempted to awaken Xu Que.
However, Xu Que's eyes remained filled with murderous intent, and the bloodthirsty, mad-demon-like smile on his face made one's scalp go numb.
"Boom—!"
A tremendous noise rang out from the sky once again; the Memory World was collapsing even more severely, and between the fragmentary cracks, scenes from another world kept appearing and overlapping.
That was Tianzhou.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, Xu Que activated his form and instantly vanished from his original spot.
An overwhelming killing intent completely locked onto Xuan Yuan Wanrong.
Xuan Yuan Wanrong's expression changed in alarm, and she rapidly retreated.
Yet it was still one step too late; in merely the blink of an eye, Xu Que's crazy, cold smiling face was right before her eyes.
A fist capable of destroying everything was charging toward her.
"To die at your hands..."
Xuan Yuan Wanrong's eyes grew slightly vacant, then slowly closed as if resigning herself to fate.
She could not dodge this punch.
In her heart, she felt that dying at Xu Que's hands in this manner seemed acceptable.
It was just that why was there a trace of reluctance?
How could there still be an existence in this world that I would feel reluctant to leave?
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the Void before Xuan Yuan Wanrong.
Between her and Xu Que, it shattered like a mirror; the crack in the Memory World had occurred right here.
Xu Que's punch missed, smashing outward through the fissure of the Memory World.
From the outside world, a tremendous noise clearly rang out, deafening to the ears.
"Damn it, what the hell kind of fist is that? It stole this Divine Venerable's kill!"
Immediately following, a familiar voice of cursing arrived.
Xuan Yuan Wanrong was slightly stunned; it seemed to be a dog named Er Gouzi.
No, that fellow was the reincarnation of the Qilin Ancestor from tens of thousands of years ago, also known as the Mighty King.
No wonder I had always felt he was both very familiar and somewhat strange.
"Damn it, it seems to be that kid Xu Que; this punch has that kid's flavor, but when did he become so strong?" another voice came.
Xuan Yuan Wanrong frowned slightly: "Duan Jiude, a descendant grandson of Duan Qide?"
Boom!
Another tremendous noise rang out, and the Memory World shattered completely.
Xuan Yuan Wanrong's expression became slightly odd; she had actually escaped death due to the crack in the Memory World and survived from Xu Que's hands.
Swish!
The scene before her eyes instantly changed.
The myriad mountains of the Heavenly Palace Academy had completely vanished, replaced by a battlefield filled with lingering smoke.
Countless Cultivators were fighting fiercely in mid-air, countless Dharma Spells covered the sky and earth, filling the firmament.
Er Gouzi was charging at several Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm experts, constantly digging at their lower bodies, kicking their buttocks, and running away after launching surprise attacks.
Duan Jiude wore a grave expression, looking ethereal and bone-deep, as he unleashed talisman after talisman.
Then he shouted "Zhen Tian Fist," lifted his foot to flying-kick the opponent's forehead, opened his mouth, and spat out a cloud of poisonous mist.
On the other side of the battlefield, there were countless familiar faces from Tianzhou.
Yao Pond, the Shennong Clan, the Shadow Floating Pagoda Sect, the Fangcun Immortal Sect, and others; the Fourteen Immortal Domains of Tianzhou were all joining forces in this great war.
Their opponents, consistent with those faced by Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude, were all wearing identical attire.
"Xuan Yuan Wanrong? You have emerged, where is Xu Que?"
Not far away, a woman who was fighting against enemies spoke up to ask; it was precisely the Zixia Fairy.
"What, Upper Immortal Xuan Yuan has returned?" Er Gouzi, who had arrived nearby at some unknown point, immediately rushed over, shouting: "Welcome Upper Immortal Xuan Yuan, hurry and save this Divine Venerable!"
"Welcome Upper Immortal Xuan Yuan," Duan Jiude also arrived, his face full of anger: "Immortal Yuan Continent has invaded Tianzhou; they are lunatics, utterly inhumane."
"Where is that kid Xu Que? Hurry and come help," Er Gouzi looked around.
Only then did Xuan Yuan Wanrong come to her senses; she raised her delicate eyebrows—right, where is Madman Xu?
"Boom—!"
Almost simultaneously, a tremendous noise erupted from that patch of Void not far away.
A figure rushed out from within, black-and-white intermingled long hair dancing wildly in the wind, his entire body radiating overwhelming murderous intent, with killing intent filling the entire arena.
At this moment, the crowds originally engaged in chaotic battle could not help but stop their hands and gaze over.
Among the Fourteen Immortal Domains of Tianzhou, Yao Pond, the Shennong Clan, and other factions, everyone who knew Xu Que froze in shock one after another.
"Holy crap!" Er Gouzi jumped in fright.
"Holy crap, holy crap!" Duan Jiude was also stunned.
How had Xu Que turned into this state?
It made people a bit afraid; even dogs were somewhat scared!
"What's going on?"
Zixia Fairy's delicate brows furrowed, and her gaze immediately swept toward Xuan Yuan Wanrong, carrying a distinct tone of interrogation.
"He practiced some unknown technique in the Memory World, suddenly went demonic, his power skyrocketed, he killed many people, and even tried to kill me!" Xuan Yuan Wanrong replied indifferently, her expression unchanged.
It's perfectly normal for him to want to kill you!
Zixia Fairy coldly shifted her gaze away, looking at Xu Que, yet inexplicably felt a palpitation of the heart and unease.
"Immortal Yuan Continent invading Tianzhou?" At this moment, Xuan Yuan Wanrong also looked at Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude, asking.
"Yeah, the people from Heavenly Palace Academy must have done something stupid; it seems they opened some kind of passage, and then Immortal Yuan Continent launched a massive attack, without even saying hello, killing anyone they saw," Er Gouzi replied.
"Weren't you all hiding before?" Xuan Yuan Wanrong said, her gaze also sweeping across the Battlefield, noticing that a few figures were missing.
Jiang Hongyan, Liu Jingning, Xu Feifei, and Mo Junchen were all absent.
"We couldn't hide; these guys fought so fiercely they destroyed even that Cave," Duan Jiude said with a bitter face, shaking his head and sighing.
"So what do we do now? That kid Xu Que is unreliable; he's actually gone mad and demonic. Please, Upper Immortal Xuan Yuan, lead this Divine Venerable away from this Chaotic Age," Er Gouzi started up again, being extremely servile and shameless.
Xuan Yuan Wanrong couldn't be bothered to pay attention to it, her gaze turning back to Xu Que.
At this moment, the situation was somewhat deadlocked; Xu Que's appearance seemed to have caused a slight change.
As if a mad demon, a cold, sharp smile remained on his face; he stayed motionless in mid-air, scanning everyone.
The people from Immortal Yuan Continent felt some apprehension and did not rashly make a move.
The people from Tianzhou, however, looked utterly bewildered, staring at each other in confusion, not quite understanding the situation.
"All cultivators from Tianzhou, make way immediately, leave the Battlefield, and stay far away from Xu Que," Xuan Yuan Wanrong shouted in a deep voice, issuing an order.
Yet no one from the Fourteen Immortal Domains moved; instead, they all turned their gazes toward the leaders of their respective Factions.
"Retreat!" The Jade Pool side reacted the fastest; with a single command from Bai Cailing, all Jade Pool Disciples surged forward toward Xuan Yuan Wanrong's position.
The people from Shadow Floating Pagoda Sect hesitated for a moment before following closely behind.
Subsequently, the other Immortal Domains also began to move; some withdrew directly to a distance, while others came to converge with Xuan Yuan Wanrong's group.
But as soon as this group of people moved, Xu Que moved as well.
The people of the Shennong Clan were moving relatively slowly, having just taken flight.
The next second, Xu Que, as if piercing through the Void, appeared extremely abruptly right before them.
That face, bearing a crazy smile, was deeply imprinted in the eyes of every member of the Shennong Clan.
"Xu... Xu Que, what are you doing?" someone couldn't help but ask, trembling.
Boom!
Xu Que punched out.
Over a hundred cultivators of the Shennong Clan, regardless of their realm, turned to ash and vanished on the spot.
The entire arena instantly fell into a deathly silence; everyone stood stunned, their faces filled with horror.
"This... how is this possible?" Duan Jiude was even more bewildered.
"Oh my god!" Er Gouzi's mouth hung wide open, his tongue nearly dropping to the ground.
The several million invading cultivators from Immortal Yuan Continent all tightened their expressions, frowning.
"Who is this person?"
"Strange, how could Tianzhou have someone so powerful?"
"That's not right; he's only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, how could this be possible?"
"Quick, all those above the Immortal King Realm, join forces immediately to kill him; this person cannot be left alive."
Over on the Immortal Yuan Continent side, a rapid response was given.
Over a thousand Immortal Kings surged in from all directions, surrounding Xu Que.
Nearly a hundred powerful Immortal Venerables descended from the sky with majestic momentum, staring intently at Xu Que with expressionless faces.
"Ha... hahahaha..."
Suddenly, a chilling, eerie laughter erupted from Xu Que's mouth.
His body trembled with laughter, and the crazy bloodlust and sky-high murderous intent on his face grew ever more intense.
The sheer number of lives before him seemed to let him smell the scent of blood in advance, stimulating him to become increasingly excited, increasingly mad and demonic.
In his eyes, arcs of lightning, one gold and one red, instantly surged outward.
Whoosh!
Immediately after, Xu Que vanished.
"Not good."
Those hundred powerful Immortal Venerables and over a thousand powerful Immortal Kings seemed to realize something, their expressions changing instantly.
However, before they could make any reaction, two arcs of golden-red lightning, faintly carrying a trace of black shadow, rapidly pierced through their ranks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One breath later.
Muffled sounds rang out in the mid-air; the Flesh Bodies of countless Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables continuously exploded, bursting into clouds of Blood Mist.
The entire cloudy sky seemed to erupt with brilliant red fireworks.
Subsequently, a rain of blood poured down, covering heaven and earth.
Over a hundred Immortal Venerables and over a thousand Immortal Kings from Immortal Yuan Continent were all Dead!
The entire army was annihilated; not a single one remained!
