Chapter 354: Four-Transformation Collective Catch-Up Plan

On the first day, Wuyou Valley, Lihen Heaven, and Fenji Mountain were annihilated!

On the second day, the Superdominant Lineage was wiped out, Diandao Gate left with not a single corpse; Lie Tian Mountain severed all contact.

In just two days, six ancient holy sects with millennia of lineage were destroyed; multiple Fourth-Transformation cultivators lost contact, plunging all nations of the Martial World into terror.

Deep night, within the Great Chu Imperial Palace.

Yang Xu Zi gently stroked his beard, his gaze hesitating across the grand hall before him.

He had come here because half a day ago, the newly ascended Chu Emperor sent men to invite him out of seclusion to aid in exterminating demons.

Perhaps due to years of seclusion, he did not recognize the faces of over a dozen people present.

Yet merely by sensing their aura, he realized the twenty-odd individuals here all exuded the aura of Fourth-Transformation cultivators.

‘What’s going on? When did the nations amass so many Fourth-Transformation cultivators?’ he thought, unsettled: ‘When did Fourth-Transformation become so common?’

In his estimation, the total number of martial cultivators in the entire Martial World could not exceed forty.

Just recently, seventeen Fourth-Transformation cultivators died before countless eyes—how could there now be nearly thirty more?

Could Fourth-Transformation cultivators spontaneously grow out of the ground?

Not just him—all Fourth-Transformation cultivators within the Great Chu Imperial Palace were observing one another, astonished at where these figures had emerged, each dressed in bizarre attire.

“No need to guess,” the current Chu Emperor explained.

“Among those present, besides the dozen or so from various nations, there are thirteen Fourth-Transformation cultivators from beyond the heavens come to assist.”

“Fourth-Transformation cultivators from beyond the heavens?”

Instantly, a flood of thoughts surged through the minds of those present.

The leader among them, a Lunhuizhe clad in a black bodysuit, drew a breath and said:

“Precisely. My name is Chong Tian Xiaohe, a Lunhuizhe from the Master God Space, arrived in this realm to carry out a mission.”

“Fang Can is our target—we are tasked with completely eradicating him. Thus, upon arriving in this world, we immediately sought you out.”

As the black bodysuit Lunhuizhe spoke, each sentence triggered a prompt from the Master God in his ear.

【Revealing Lunhuizhe identity: deduct 100 reward points. Negative reward points result in deletion!】

【Revealing Lunhuizhe identity: deduct…

Ignoring the Master God’s prompt with a blank expression, he deemed this penalty for identity exposure negligible compared to the rewards he had gained in this world.

Rather than face suspicion caused by the utterly incompatible cultivation systems, it was better to reveal his identity outright and secure the support of local forces from the start.

Thinking this, Chong Tian Xiaohe smiled and said: “Our Master God Space commands countless worlds, with an inexhaustible abundance of treasures granting immortality.”

“After this mission is complete, you may choose to enter our Master God Space, where we shall jointly contemplate the Dao of Heaven and Humanity.”

‘Inexhaustible treasures of eternal life?’

At these words, many Fourth-Transformation cultivators in the hall showed signs of eagerness.

As for outsiders and concepts like the Master God Space, their acceptance was remarkably high.

After all, Sixth-Transformation cultivators could connect to the outer cosmos; just recently, a Fifth-Transformation elder from the Nightmare Space had returned to pay a visit—so this concept was readily accepted.

Seeing how everyone was already contemplating post-battle rewards before even fighting, the Chu Emperor cleared his throat and said:

“Gentlemen, let us first focus on Fang Can. Other matters can wait until after the battle.”

As he spoke, a light screen ignited in his hand—a mental projection he had conjured.

“Gentlemen, battle is set for tomorrow. Time is urgent—I will give you a brief overview of Fang Can and his forces.”

“First, Fang Can: one month ago, he was merely Third-Transformation. But after returning from training in the Sixth-Transformation Secret Realm, his physical prowess surpassed even peak Fourth-Transformation.”

“Beyond his formidable physique, he wields an invisible force capable of fighting multiple opponents at once—on the ruins of Liantian Gate, he repelled seven Fourth-Transformation cultivators in an instant.”

At these words, the hall fell silent—but the Chu Emperor did not pause, continuing to introduce the next figure:

“This is Belial, a Fourth-Transformation cultivator, fifty-five meters tall, weighing over three hundred thousand tons, whose cultivation likely resembles the Giant Mountain Superpower Lineage.”

“His strength far exceeds peak Fourth-Transformation, and he appears to have no transformation time limit.”

“He destroyed the Superdominant Lineage for over ten minutes without showing fatigue, and possesses a technique called Deusium Beam.”

As the Chu Emperor spoke, the Fourth-Transformation cultivators in the hall grew solemn.

Strength far beyond peak Fourth-Transformation, with no transformation time limit—just these two facts were enough to give them headaches.

Unlike the solemn Fourth-Transformation cultivators, the Lunhuizhe beside them froze in stunned silence.

Belial? Deusium Beam?

What world had they landed in? Was this an Ultraman filming set?

Before the Lunhuizhe could process this further, the Chu Emperor’s mental projection shifted, forming the image of a muscular blond man.

“This is Fang Can’s second-in-command, calling himself Dio Brando!”

“What we know so far is that he possesses an ability similar to Fang Can’s, allowing him to attack at a distance, and also has extraordinary healing capabilities.”

“He participated in the assault and annihilation of Lie Tian Mountain. Survivors say those bitten by him were transformed into savage, bloodthirsty monsters.”

As he spoke, the Chu Emperor moved to display the next image—but the Lunhuizhe immediately interrupted him.

“Wait a moment—are you certain these are the enemies we’re facing? Something’s off,” Chong Tian Xiaohe couldn’t help but interrupt.

At his words, the other Lunhuizhe pressed their lips tight, their expressions strained.

“Why ask that?” Ye Hao asked, puzzled. “What’s wrong with them?”

“There’s a huge problem! Belial and Dio are characters from our world’s fictional works!”

Chong Tian Xiaohe blurted out: “Can you show me the rest of these people?”

The Chu Emperor looked baffled but nodded, conjuring the images of the remaining two: “These two are called…”

“Poros and the Bird-Shit King, right?” Chong Tian Xiaohe interrupted with a strained expression.

Chu Emperor: ???

Wait, how did you guys learn to answer before I even finished?

“These are all fictional characters from our world’s media,” a man with black-rimmed glasses among the Lunhuizhe commented. “They could be anyone—but they absolutely cannot be Fourth-Transformation cultivators. Their power systems are entirely incompatible.”

Facing the confused stares of those present, Chong Tian Xiaohe hesitated, then pulled a computer with a hard drive from his storage ring.

“No need to explain to you natives—watch these anime at 100x speed, and you’ll understand everything.”
