Chapter 626: A Turbulent Era Approaches

Farmer's Three Punches?

And a little sweet?

Everyone in the arena wore a blank expression, utterly stunned and dumbfounded!

This was too terrifying!

Fortunately, that Ancestor of the Heavenly Pride Niu Clan was instantly killed, dying without the slightest pain or shock; otherwise, he would probably have been so enraged that he spat blood!

With a fist technique possessing such destructive power, try taking a punch yourself and see if it's damn well sweet or not!

"Three punches to suppress and kill an Ancestor of the Heavenly Pride Niu Clan; are the heavens about to change?" Finally, an elder at the Void Refining Stage spoke in horror, his voice trembling!

Because this was too shocking to the world; if they had not witnessed it with their own eyes today, hearing such a matter elsewhere would likely have made them burst out laughing on the spot.

No matter how one looked at it, this was an impossible event!

Instantly killing a Body Integration Stage expert at the Void Refining Stage?

Unless the heavens were truly about to change, how could such a horrifying event possibly occur!

But now it had truly happened; even though many people still could not believe it after witnessing it with their own eyes, facts were facts!

That youngest Ancestor of the Heavenly Pride Niu Clan had only awakened a little over a year ago, intending to kill Xu Que, yet he was instantly eliminated just like that...

At this moment, the entire arena fell silent once more, not a sound to be heard!

Many people looked at that youth in the sky with complex expressions, a hundred emotions swirling in their hearts!

Zhang Suliang, Tang Xueru, and the others left behind by Tianxiang Valley stood rooted to the spot with completely blank faces, already lost in a daze!

They had originally intended to stay and help Xu Que collect his corpse, never expecting the outcome to be like this!

An Ancestor instantly killed by three punches; such a thing simply made them doubt whether they had stepped into a dream!

They all knew that Xu Que, like them, came from Five Elements Mountain, a place so remote that Spiritual Energy was scarce, and its Heaven and Earth Rules, Dharma Spells, and even Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were far inferior to those of these Four Great Continents!

After leaving Five Elements Mountain, they thought they had witnessed a vaster Heaven and Earth, and that Xu Que, who had been nearly Invincible back in Five Elements Mountain, would amount to nothing within the Four Great Continents.

Here, only Ancestors were Invincible, and true geniuses were those titled Holy Son and Holy Maiden!

But now what? Those Body Integration Stage Ancestors regarded as Invincible could not even withstand three punches from Xu Que...

"It seems we have always been frogs at the bottom of a well!" Tang Xueru said with a bitter smile, shaking her head slightly, her heart filled with immense complexity!

Both coming from Five Elements Mountain, why was the gap so huge!

Meanwhile, representatives from various factions of the Eastern Wasteland, including many Holy Sons and Holy Maidens who had once fought Xu Que, were also present.

Xiao Munan of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Qin Ji of the Mirror Flower Water Moon Sect, Han Ying of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, Xiao Taixuan of the Eight Desolations Green Dragon Sect, Bai Lingrui of the Bai Family...

Three years ago, when they first saw Xu Que outside Buried Immortal Valley, they had not taken him seriously at all; only after being repeatedly severely injured by Xu Que did they reluctantly place him on an equal footing!

But later, when Xu Que was discovered to lack Dao Rhyme, many ignored him again; after all, a Cultivator without Dao Rhyme was destined to hit a ceiling at the Infant Transformation Stage, making it difficult for him to achieve any deeper accomplishments in this life!

Yet in merely a little over two years, Xu Que emerged from the Secret Realm and appeared with such a domineering posture!

With only three punches, he crushed everything like withered wood and rotten stalks, instantly blasting an Body Integration Stage Ancestor to death!

This contrast between before and after, along with such terrifying destructive power, simply made their scalps go numb, filling them with a profound sense of suffocation!

Several of them even found themselves silently asking in their hearts: what kind of Monster existence was this lad exactly?

Even Bai Lingrui now felt chill run down her spine; her once proud head was already bowed, and her body involuntarily hid within the crowd, no longer as arrogant and confident as before!

She was truly afraid that once Xu Que discovered their Bai Family connection, he would settle old scores!

Invisibly, Xu Que had already established the highest level of deterrence, making people from all major factions hesitate to act for fear of adverse consequences.

Amidst the silence, Liu Jingning let out a long sigh of relief, and a heart-soothing smile bloomed on her exquisite face!

Her Crimson Lips moved slightly as she quietly used Sound Transmission to Xu Que: "Little Que Que, you're so amazing!"

This bewitching, enchanting voice, tinged with a hint of coquetry, immediately gave Xu Que goosebumps; he hurriedly turned back and glared at her, warning her not to mess around, or he would spank her little butt right in front of everyone!

Only then did Liu Jingning chuckle and stop teasing him!

Subsequently, Xu Que's gaze swept across everyone in the arena; the corners of his mouth lifted as he smiled and asked, "May I ask if any Fellow Daoists from the Heavenly Pride Niu Clan are present? I have a business matter I wish to discuss with you!"

The entire arena fell silent; apart from some people looking around, no one dared to reply!

After all, most people present held grudges against Xu Que, fearing that if they spoke up now, they would be targeted by this guy who could pit people to death without compensation!

It remained this quiet for a long while until a Scattered Cultivator at the Infant Transformation Stage finally spoke up and replied, "Senior Xu, the people of the Heavenly Pride Niu Clan left a year ago; only that Ancestor Niu Wu remained!"

"Oh? They've all gone? What a pity; if you get the chance, please pass a message to the Heavenly Pride Niu Clan for me: I wish to purchase a batch of high-quality beef from them to import into the Eastern Wasteland and open a few Chaoshan Beef Hot Pot shops!" Xu Que said with a smile.

Everyone present instantly twitched the corners of their mouths!

Purchase beef? Open shops in the Eastern Wasteland?

Was he really intending to treat the Heavenly Pride Niu Clan as ingredients?

"The Heavenly Pride Niu Clan is finished!" everyone thought in unison.

Even though the Heavenly Pride Niu Clan had more than one Ancestor, no one had ever heard of any Ancestor capable of instantly slaying another Ancestor of similar strength!

Now that the Heavenly Pride Niu Clan had provoked a troublemaker like Xu Que, their Disadvantage would probably be even more tragic than that of those who provoked Duan Jiude!

"Little sister, let's go; it's time to return to the Eastern Wasteland!" Seeing that he had established enough prestige, Xu Que decided to leave!

Although killing a Body Integration Stage Ancestor wasted six thousand Acting Cool Points, this round was completely worth it!

Because the shock of everyone in the arena had brought him a harvest of over ten thousand Acting Cool Points!

"Hahaha, suddenly gaining over thirteen thousand Acting Cool Points, plus ten million Experience Points; more importantly, for the first time killing a Body Integration Stage expert, I've obtained another 'Mysterious Gift Pack'! Hehehe, acting this cool feels great!"

Xu Que looked at his System Interface, secretly delighted in his heart!

However, what dissatisfied him was that a Body Integration Stage Ancestor yielded only ten million Experience Points!

And now that he was at Soul Refining Stage Layer One, leveling up to the Second Layer actually required fifty million Experience Points!

This meant that if he wanted to Level Up, he damn well had to kill four more Body Integration Stage Ancestors!

"Sigh, indeed, once reaching the Late Stage, one can only rely on self-cultivation; killing people is far slower than cultivating!"

Xu Que sighed inwardly, feeling fortunate that he had chosen to re-cultivate; otherwise, things would have become troublesome later on.

After all, Body Integration Stage experts were not inexhaustible; if one day they were all wiped out, where would one find new experts to kill?

Moreover, his current ability to suppress and slay Body Integration Stage experts relied entirely on Acting Cool Points!

The King of Acting Cool Fist required no True Essence Power to use, but it needed Acting Cool Points to activate; the higher the Acting Cool Points, the more fierce the power of the King of Acting Cool Fist became.

Nevertheless, Xu Que still felt heartache, for what he wanted most right now was Acting Cool Points; if he had two million Acting Cool Points, he could upgrade the system to Version 10.0, create a Sky-Breaking Talisman, and have a chance to return to Earth to roam around!

"It seems I must economize my usage!" Xu Que thought silently.

Although he now possessed the strength to suppress and slay those at the Body Integration Stage, it did not mean he was truly Invincible!

With the amount of Acting Cool Points he currently had, he could at most unleash the King of Acting Cool Fist another ten-odd times; if twenty Ancestors were to attack him simultaneously, he would be in deep trouble!

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Xu Que did not wish to proactively provoke those Ancestors, and besides, he wanted to save Acting Cool Points and settle down for a while!

"Let's go, back to the Eastern Wasteland!"

Xu Que waved his hand, his figure floating in midair, as he spoke to Liu Jingning.

"Aren't we waiting to find Er Gouzi before returning?" Liu Jingning asked in astonishment.

Xu Que shook his head without hesitation: "Er Gouzi values lust over friendship and is colluding with that old fellow Duan Jiude; it's truly disgusting! The most urgent task now is to return to the Eastern Wasteland first, find Dong Genji, and get that ancient text from him; I need to understand the origins of the Bronze Ancient Hall, and it is time to save Hongyan!"

Hearing Xu Que speak of saving Jiang Hongyan, Liu Jingning's expression also turned serious; she nodded and followed without hesitation.

The two simultaneously soared across the sky, resembling an Immortal Couple, and amidst the envious and complex gazes of the crowd, they flew off into the distance, vanishing beyond the horizon!

"Sigh, the times are about to change!"

"The Cultivation World is doomed!"

Watching Xu Que's departing figure, everyone sighed with emotion.

"The Ancestors have said that a Golden Age is imminent, but before a Golden Age arrives, a Chaotic Age must inevitably be experienced; judging by current events, the Chaotic Age is likely beginning!"

"Nowadays, many Ancestors are rushing to the Endless Sea Region beyond the Northern Sea; no one knows the reason!"

"It is said that Dong Genji is leading this, as if something extraordinary has been discovered!"

"Dong Genji is truly remarkable; not yet having entered the Body Integration Stage, he is already able to work alongside those Body Integration Stage Ancestors!"

"I heard that even the Kunpeng Race of the Northern Sea has joined in, and the Sea Race within the Endless Sea Region is also making moves!"

"With such a grand array, are they really going to welcome some important figure?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!"
