Chapter 1476: Explosion (First Update)

Swish!

The entire arena fell into dead silence, not a sound to be heard!

Everyone froze in place, minds blank, staring in stunned disbelief.

So many powerhouses... over a hundred Immortal Venerables, over a thousand Immortal Kings, just died like that?

What the hell is this?

An Immortal Emperor?

A wave of horror swept through the crowd, filled with disbelief.

In the blink of an eye, all the powerhouses of the Immortal Yuan Continent had died at Xu Que's hands.

All that remained were some Great Luo Golden Immortals and cultivators below that realm.

But since even their Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables were like paper tigers before Xu Que, where would they find the courage to rush forward and court death?

Originally, this was a golden opportunity for the people of Tianzhou to take advantage of the situation and annihilate all the invaders.

But...

Among these two opposing factions stood Xu Que!

A Xu Que so mad he distinguished neither friend nor foe!

There was simply no way to join forces; the Shennong Clan, which had just been wiped out, was a perfect example.

"Xu Que!"

Zixia Fairy Shi Qingxuan shouted loudly, attempting to wake Xu Que.

Yet Xu Que, like a possessed demon, radiated killing intent, his gaze instantly locking onto Shi Qingxuan.

"Whoosh!"

In the next moment, Xu Que's figure vanished directly.

Shi Qingxuan's expression changed; she clearly felt Xu Que's killing intent enveloping her entire body, leaving her nowhere to hide.

"You... you scoundrel, I'll settle scores with you once you've sobered up."

Shi Qingxuan said in angry reproach, her form flashing as she produced a Jade Pendant from her hand and leaped directly into it.

Immediately, the entire Jade Pendant emitted a spiritual light and vanished into the Void.

Boom!

Almost simultaneously, Xu Que's figure appeared at the exact spot where Shi Qingxuan had vanished.

His bloodshot eyes revealed a piercing icy coldness as his gaze began to lock onto the next target.

Meanwhile, Er Gouzi had already retreated hundreds of miles away, shock evident in his eyes.

Duan Jiude had also slipped off to the side.

Both wore grave expressions, contemplating the same matter.

"Teacher Er Gou, wait! That brat Xu Que isn't right; if we let him continue going mad like this, he might destroy Tianzhou, and then we'll all die!"

"Teacher Duan makes a valid point; so, what should we do?"

"This old man believes we should return and use love and sincerity to transform Xu Que, to wake him up; we are helping him, after all."

"Teacher Duan is absolutely right; thinking back carefully, Xu Que has treated this Divine Venerable well over the years; we shouldn't just abandon him and flee!"

"Teacher Er Gou is truly righteous!"

Duan Jiude praised loudly, yet his speed of escape did not decrease in the slightest.

Er Gouzi was even more frantically inscribing array patterns, continuously setting up simple short-range Teleportation Arrays, his speed far exceeding Duan Jiude's.

"Damn it!" At this moment, the man and the dog locked eyes and simultaneously cursed.

"Duan Jiude, you shameless scoundrel, why are you running? Didn't you say we should use love and sincerity to transform Xu Que?"

"You're running even faster than this old man, and you have the nerve to say such things?"

"Heh heh!"

"Er Gouzi, don't you dare laugh; this old man isn't running, but rather intends to invite Upper Immortal Xuan Yuan to act." Seeing Xuan Yuan Wanrong's figure appear ahead and block their path, Duan Jiude immediately widened his eyes and declared with righteous indignation.

"Howl!"

Er Gouzi let out an immediate howl, blasted out of the Teleportation Array, and crashed down in front of Xuan Yuan Wanrong.

But Er Gouzi remained perfectly calm, immediately scrambling up from the ground and shouting with full vigor: "Greetings, Upper Immortal Xuan Yuan; this Divine Venerable has already set up a Grand Formation around the area to prevent that brat Xu Que from escaping."

Xuan Yuan Wanrong frowned slightly.

Recalling the Qilin Ancestor and Duan Qide from the Memory World, they truly matched the identities of this man and dog before her.

To use Xu Que's own words to describe them...

Duan Jiude was very dog-like!

And Er Gouzi was truly a dog!

Expecting them to save Xu Que? By next year, the grass on Xu Que's grave would likely be a hundred meters tall.

"Teacher Er Gou, Xu Que now rivals an Immortal Emperor! Relying on a Formation to trap him will certainly not be easy; I will come to assist you!" Duan Jiude's eyes darted about as he made a move to slip away again.

Unexpectedly, before he could even move, Er Gouzi pinned him back down with a single paw.

"No need; the power of a mere Immortal Emperor is insignificant to this Divine Venerable! You quickly go with Upper Immortal Xuan Yuan to suppress that brat; as for setting up the Formation, this Divine Venerable is fully capable alone." Er Gouzi stated with great seriousness.

"If even you two have no solution, then just leave."

Xuan Yuan Wanrong, too lazy to deal with the shamelessness of this man and dog, said indifferently.

Originally, she had hoped Duan Jiude and Er Gouzi might have some method, but seeing these two rascals wracking their brains to escape, she decided not to trouble them further.

After all, in this current state, even she could not face Xu Que directly.

He was too powerful, and too terrifying!

"This Divine Venerable must emphasize: This Divine Venerable is not fleeing, but seeking a countermeasure."

Er Gouzi tossed out these words, then vanished like a wisp of smoke, transforming into a black shadow that instantly shot hundreds of miles away.

"Sigh, how could this old man not be thinking the same? You have all misunderstood this old man."

Duan Jiude let out a deep sigh, his figure gradually fading from the spot.

This damn thing was just a fake avatar!

"Damn it!" Seeing this scene from afar, Er Gouzi cursed loudly again.

At this moment, changes occurred on the battlefield as well.

The remaining Golden Immortals and Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Immortal Yuan Continent, terrified out of their wits, were frantically retreating from the battlefield, desperately drilling into a gap in the sky above.

That gap connected to another realm, precisely the Immortal Yuan Continent, though it appeared somewhat blurry and indistinct.

After the numerous invaders from the Immortal Yuan Continent rushed into it, they instantly disappeared without a trace.

"Who opened the void barrier between the two realms?"

Xuan Yuan Wanrong gazed at the sky, frowning as she murmured.

"Boom!"

Just then, a sudden disturbance erupted from Xu Que's direction.

A sky-soaring aura surged out from within Xu Que, becoming even more restless.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong's expression changed instantly.

The aura emanating from Xu Que was terrifying; if left unchecked, the consequences would be unimaginable. Once unleashed, this power alone could destroy several tenths of the Tianzhou region!

Even someone of her cultivation and strength could not guarantee escaping the affected area in time.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Xu Que threw back his head and roared!

"What's happening?"

By now, Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude had regrouped, having fled thousands of miles away, yet they could still feel that chilling aura coming from that direction.

The cultivators from the various factions across Tianzhou also frowned tightly, feeling uneasy, yet none retreated.

The power Xu Que displayed was too horrifying, but this also implied he might possess some extraordinary technique...

They were all waiting!

Waiting for an opportunity!

If anything befell Xu Que this time, they might perhaps obtain the method he had just used...

Then their sect's strength would instantly multiply several times over!

They never expected to be able to use this method normally!

So what if they went mad?

As long as their sect obtained this technique, it would become an ultimate trump card!

Anyone would fear a sect possessing such a method and would not dare to offend them lightly!

At this moment, Xu Que's aura grew even more chaotic!

Xuan Yuan Wanrong had already retreated hundreds of miles away, yet her gaze remained fixed on Xu Que...

"Zzzzt..."

A sound of electric current rang out in Xu Que's mind; the familiar system notification voice gradually became clear again!

"Zzzzt..."

"Hello Host, the system is rebooting, please wait patiently!"

"Progress 1%... 5%... 10%..."
