Chapter 1618: Come Over Here

Swish!

The words had barely left his mouth!

The old monk's gaze shifted, suddenly turning cold.

"The Dragon God is the head of the Eight Divisions. If he becomes the Heavenly Tribulation, I fear this young man will have no way to survive!"

"The head of the Eight Divisions possesses infinite power and extreme strength, rumored to possess incredible Dragon Power... Wait, something seems wrong with this Dragon God."

The old monk's steps, which had just begun, suddenly halted and retracted as he carefully observed this legendary head of the Eight Divisions.

At the same time, everyone present was completely stunned.

"What on earth is that?"

"Wait... is that a Human-Shaped Lightning? That is the most terrifying existence in a Heavenly Tribulation!"

"It's just an Immortal King undergoing tribulation; how could he possibly summon such a terrifying existence?!"

Everyone had experienced Heavenly Tribulations and naturally understood how terrifying the power of Human-Shaped Lightning was.

"It's the Dragon God!" a knowledgeable Immortal Venerable suddenly exclaimed, "Heavens! This kid actually summoned the Dragon God!"

"Legend has it that the Dragon God is the existence in the Immortal World who commands the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons. Although he doesn't have many subordinates, his status and strength far exceed those of Heavenly Generals. He is an existence capable of fighting a million Heavenly Soldiers and possesses incredible Dragon Power!"

The crowd discussed it fervently, hardly able to believe their eyes.

The mere scattered lightning from the shattered Golden Dragon had already wiped out several Immortal Kings; now that this legendary existence had appeared, the crowd was instantly terrified.

The old monk, however, furrowed his brows and said slowly, "This does not seem to be the Dragon God... it only has the form, but lacks the true greatness of a dragon."

Regarding the legends of the Dragon God, the old monk could be said to be the most knowledgeable person present.

The Dragon God was originally a guardian deity in Buddhist legends; logically, if he truly appeared, the commotion would certainly be greater than it was now.

Even if it were only formed from the Ancient Calamity, the mere pressure should be enough to overwhelm the Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables present, rather than leaving them with energy to spare.

"So that's how it is. The Immortal World is nowhere to be found, and the Dragon God cannot descend. This is merely a manifestation of obsession." The old monk pressed his palms together and chanted a Buddhist name, "Amitabha. Let this poor monk see what method you have to deal with this."

In his view, Xu Que at this moment only carried a wisp of true Buddha aura, and it was not yet certain whether he was the true reincarnation of a Buddha.

Even with the appearance of the Dragon God, it only increased the possibility, but did not confirm it.

Only by watching Xu Que's subsequent response could one see if he had the potential to be possessed by a True Buddha.

Er Gou and Duan Jiude, meanwhile, fully demonstrated the meaning of the phrase "the ignorant are fearless."

"Tch, look at how these guys are making such a fuss. Brother Que has even killed Heavenly Generals with his own hands; this is just another one here to deliver his head," Er Gou mocked, shaking his head.

"Sigh, I feel sorrow for the lack of insight in today's youth," Duan Jiude sighed with a face full of regret.

Except for the two of them, everyone else felt that Xu Que was doomed to die. However, the person undergoing the tribulation was completely calm.

Not only that, Xu Que even wore an expression of disdain.

Watching his expression, the crowd's faces gradually turned strange.

What does that mean?

Looking at him, it seems he even thinks this Dragon God isn't impressive enough?

Immediately after, they saw Xu Que suddenly extend his right hand toward the firmament, raise his middle finger, and roar, "Damn it, have you forgotten how the Heavenly General was beaten to death by me last time? You actually dare to send only one person down this time! Hurry up and send more people!"

The crowd was instantly stunned, their mouths agape, staring blankly at Xu Que.

He... has killed a Heavenly General before?

How is that possible!

In this day and age, it should be impossible for any Heavenly Generals to exist!

"Wait, he means that he has experienced this situation before while undergoing tribulation." An Immortal King reacted, terrified, "It's just that last time a Heavenly General appeared, and this kid... actually killed that Heavenly General!"

Whoosh!

The crowd instantly erupted.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"A Heavenly General is an existence capable of commanding a million Heavenly Soldiers. Even if he isn't as strong as the Dragon God, he couldn't be killed so easily!"

"But if he didn't kill the Heavenly General, how could the Dragon God appear?"

The doubters were instantly rendered speechless.

That seems to be the logic...

The appearance of a Heavenly Tribulation follows an order from weak to strong, belonging to the sliver of life left by the Heavenly Dao for cultivators.

For the strong, the tribulation becomes stronger each time until you cannot overcome it, or you overcome all tribulations and transcend.

For the weak, just stay put; if you can't even handle a weak tribulation, don't expect to handle a strong one.

"This time, there's no room for negotiation! I want to fight ten!" Xu Que held up his middle finger and said righteously, "If you don't give me ten, you aren't giving me face! If you don't give me face, I'm going to lose my temper!"

"Boom—!"

It seemed that Xu Que's words completely provoked the wrath of heaven; a burst of thunder exploded in the firmament, as if the Heavenly Dao were roaring at Xu Que.

The crowd was completely petrified.

Is this guy's brain broken?

He's undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation right now; who doesn't act with extreme caution, fearing they might provoke the might of heaven? Some even try every possible way to have others share the tribulation just to make it easier for themselves.

You, on the other hand, start by provoking them, with an attitude of "If you don't kill me today, don't think about leaving."

If I were the Heavens, I would definitely strike you dead right now!

This time, it seemed Xu Que's provocation completely enraged the Heavenly Dao.

They saw dozens more Golden Dragons surge out from the black clouds and rush into the Dragon God's body.

With the influx of these dozens of Golden Dragons, the Dragon God's body became increasingly solid. Although his face was still unclear, his body looked almost no different from a real person to the naked eye.

The Dragon God took a step forward, and lightning instantly erupted around him. He looked down at the common people and took a deep breath.

"Roar!"

A huge roar exploded instantly; everyone felt their spirits shake violently, as if a heavy hammer had struck their hearts.

The Immortal Kings with weaker cultivation were bleeding from their seven orifices, having clearly suffered significant injuries.

Although they already had injuries caused by the previous Ancient Calamity, the power of that single roar was so terrifying that it showed this Dragon God was countless times stronger than the Heavenly General!

Accompanied by the Dragon God's roar, the entire black cloud seemed to have a life of its own, rolling crazily, with countless golden lightning arcs exploding like a surging sea of thunder!

"Good! Very spirited!" Xu Que laughed, extended his right hand, raised his index finger, bent it slightly, and provoked the Dragon God, "Come over here!"

Swish!

The words had barely left his mouth when the Dragon God vanished. When he appeared again, he was already in front of Xu Que.

The golden spear in his hand, dragging boundless black clouds, thrust fiercely toward Xu Que.

So fast!

Xu Que's pupils shrank violently, shocked by the opponent's godlike speed, but he was not afraid in the slightest. He backhanded his Purple-Gold King-Forcing Staff, stepped on the mysterious Yu Step, and unleashed the movement technique he had refined.

Ever since being refined by the system, the movement techniques he had learned were fused together. Now, this new movement technique was faster and more powerful.

Even though the Dragon God's movements were so swift, he still failed to successfully injure Xu Que, instead allowing him to dodge directly.

"Hmph, you Dragon God are a bit lackluster; compared to the Heavenly General, you are not just a little bit weaker."

Xu Que sneered, his staff seal dancing as he flashed behind the Dragon God, raising his hand to deliver a strike with the staff.

Seemingly enraged by Xu Que's words, the Dragon God let out a low roar, and countless thin, long golden lightning arcs surged around him.

Looking closely, these lightning arcs were actually tiny golden dragons!

Boom!

The lightning arcs exploded instantly; Xu Que felt his entire body being pricked by countless thin needles, instantly falling into a state of paralysis.

Although this only lasted for an instant, in a life-and-death battle between experts, even a mere blink of an eye is enough to change the direction of the situation.

Just at this moment when Xu Que's movements were sluggish, the golden spear in the Dragon God's hand turned back fiercely, actually executing a mortal martial art—the Return Horse Spear!

"Oh no!" Er Gou exclaimed, "He can't dodge this spear!"

The crowd also realized this, their hearts instantly rising to their throats.

Is life and death to be decided in one move?
