Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
For the second day, the entire Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm was stirred up! Xu Que’s upheaval of the Equipment Refining Sect’s branch and the destruction of the entire branch had alarmed everyone. n.o.body expected that revenge from the Exploding Heavens Faction would come so quickly and vehemently!
Just a day before, they had made a mess in the Dingtian Academy, even robbing their plaque. Then they went to the Equipment Refining Sect’s branch on the very next day.
The most horrifying thing was that the Exploding Heavens Faction had sent only one genius from the Initial Stage of the Human Celestial Stage. He single-handedly went to the Equipment Refining Sect’s branch. With the power from one finger, the whole of the Equipment Refining Sect’s branch exploded, causing numerous deaths and injuries.
All of a sudden, the crowd realized that although it was one of the few killing sprees from the Exploding Heavens Faction, it also was the most brutal killing spree they had seen.
The first killing spree dated back to Baihui City. A fellow named Bai Zhantang of the Exploding Heavens Faction, whose cultivation was only at the Half-Celestial Stage, killed more than a dozen aces in the Human Celestial Stage from the Steal Sect. Later, in the black market of the major Ancient Cities, sometimes he killed, sometimes he didn’t! But that killing spree couldn’t be compared to the current one!
Chen Shanren, who was only in the Initial Stage of the Human Celestial Stage, single-handedly destroyed the Equipment Refining Sect’s branch and killed more than a dozen of aces in the Earth Celestial Stage and a dozen aces in the Human Celestial Stage. He succeeded in leaving unharmed amid the angry roar of several powerful aces in the Heaven Celestial Stage. Such combat success was incomparable throughout the world—no cultivator in the Human Celestial Stage could do it.
He really deserved being number one on the Human List of the Heavenly Tripod List.
“It’s so scary!”
“This Exploding Heavens Faction is amazing the world with a single brilliant feat!”
“Was that amazing? That was scary, all right!”
“I was there last night and watched the scene unfold before my eyes. Now I feel as if I were dreaming!”
“Yes, I was there last night too. The finger of Chen Shanren from the Exploding Heavens Faction has traumatized me.”
“What kind of Magic Art was that to have such a terrible and formidable force?”
“Uh, I remember some steps.” Someone’s eyes lit up, and he demonstrated it personally. In front of many people, he stamped on the ground, one finger pointed to the sky, and he hollered, “Enjoy immortal happiness and longevity for thousands of years, the Exploding Heavens Faction is awesome!”
Following which, the fingertip condensed some Celestial Core Power as he suddenly pointed to the distance. When those present saw such a demonstration, they were speechless. It was difficult to believe. Then many people silently noted down the whole set of actions. They had decided to find time and research it. They weren’t expecting to master it but if they could learn 10 to 20 percent of it, it was enough to make them strong!
In just a few days, Xu Que’s Magic Art was made known to the whole of the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm. In all corners of the Celestial Realm, everyone could be seen secretly practicing that set of movements and mumbling some words.
Even in Baihui City, Ling Feng, the Young City Governor, rushed to the backyard of the City Governor’s Mansion early one morning and began to practice secretly. His one foot stamped the ground, one finger pointed at the sky, and he roared, “Enjoy immortal happiness and longevity!”
“For thousands of years…” Suddenly, a familiar voice could be heard from around the corner of the yard.
Ling Feng was startled. Wasn’t that his father’s voice?
He immediately turned his head to see, and he found himself face to face with Ling Huang, the City Governor. The two were stunned and then they continued to say in unison, “The Exploding Heavens Faction is awesome!”
“D*mn it. Father, you’re practicing this too?”
“Uh, just trying it out when I have free time!”
“Father, why do I feel that this Magic Art isn’t reliable?”
“Yes, I feel the same way. It’s better to have less contact with this kind of deviltry. I still have some matters to handle, I’ll leave first!”
“All right, Father!”
“See you!”
“Heh, ha! Enjoy immortal happiness and longevity!”
“The Exploding Heavens Faction is awesome!”
“Uh, Father, didn’t you say you aren’t practicing?”
“B*stard, you unfilial son, how dare you practice this kind of deviltry. Watch out for my punch!”
..…
At the same time, outside the edge of the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, there were countless tents stationed on one side of the newly discovered Waste Realm’s entrance. The news of the revenge of the Exploding Heavens Faction had reached there, and roars from two of the large tents could be heard at almost the same time.
Dean Lin of the Dingtian Academy said, “Exploding Heavens Faction, when I return, I’ll tear you up one by one!”
The Equipment Refining Sect’s Deacon, Elder Li, was so angry that he trembled all over, gritted his teeth, and hollered, “Exploding Heavens Faction, you…you’re dead!”
In the tent of the Litian Academy, however, there was a solemn and serious atmosphere. Qin Xiangtian, the Dean Qin of the Litian Academy, took a serious look at Qin Susu, and then he looked at Qin Sanli to signal him with a meaningful glance.
Qin Sanli immediately understood and sighed deeply. He said, “Susu, you’re old enough. Would you like to try to contact Bai Zhantang from the Exploding Heavens Faction again?”
“Humph, you two old men, stop sharing glances in front of me. I’ve seen it. If you dare to arrange my marriage again, I’ll tie your beards together and burn them!” Qin Susu waved her tiny fist and threatened the two old men. The two old men looked at each other helplessly and shook their heads with a bitter smile.
“But then again, the Exploding Heavens Faction is pretty interesting. Next time, if I meet that silly boy again, I’ll ask if they’re still accepting new members!” Qin Susu said as she smiled slyly.
…..
At the same time, in the faraway Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, a figure was flying toward the Waste Realm. It was Xu Que. After finis.h.i.+ng off the Equipment Refining Sect’s branch, he changed his presence and used the Celestial Grade Disguise Puppet to change his ident.i.ty, and traveled to the Waste Realm without stopping!
He felt that he had underestimated the power of those aces in the Heaven Celestial Stage. Even though he had used ten Six-color Fiery Lotuses, he couldn’t hurt those aces in the Heaven Celestial Stage. Fortunately, the Trap and Kill Arrays had played a role in temporarily trapping them. But when he escaped, something made his scalp numb. He had a feeling of being watched, and he felt that the person might appear in front of him at any time. He was so frightened that he instantly changed his appearance and presence with the Celestial Grade Disguise Puppet, and the feeling of being watched finally disappeared!
However, he might have been a little overly frightened. Xu Que transformed himself into a young lady with an aura of elegance. Even though she had covered her face, many young cultivators along the way tried to get close to her. Xu Que, naturally, didn’t pay attention to any of them and hurried on with his journey.
He found that he had made a mistake about the rules of the Heavenly Tripod List. He had thought that his strength would only be recognized on certain sites. But after killing so many people that night, he realized that it wasn’t the case! If someone was on the Heavenly Tripod List, then once he was killed, the murderer would naturally be able to take over the place of the dead.
Of course, situations like Xu Que’s were relatively rare.
Obviously, among the people he killed last night, there must have been aces on the Human List. The dozen of aces in the Earth Celestial Stage who died in the Trap and Kill Arrays and Mystical Fires must have some ranking on the Earth List. Whatever the ranking of the other parties were on the Earth List, Xu Que used his strength in the Initial Stage of the Human Celestial Stage to kill them, so he deserved first place on the Human List. No one could compete with him!
Now that he understood the method, he finally found the motivation to work on his killing spree! Previously, he seldom killed people, not because he was weak, but because he was too lazy to kill. After all, after killing, he couldn’t gain Experience Points so there was no point in killing. But now it was different. He found that if he wanted to continue occupying the top 20 on the Human List, it was faster to achieve that goal by killing people. Of course, he wasn’t a killer who killed carelessly. He must pick enemies who were worth killing and enemies who would be annoyed by him. Hence, those from the Equipment Refining Sect and the Dingtian Academy far away in the Waste Realm were the best stepping stones!
Heh, heh, I’ll depend on all of you to make us, the Exploding Heavens Faction, renowned! Thinking of that, Xu Que’s face couldn’t stop smiling.
His real revenge was just beginning.
“Wow, look, that fairy who’s cold and distant finally smiled!”
“So beautiful!”
“I really want to know her!”
“Fairy, can you tell us your name?”
Xu Que’s smile immediately attracted countless exclamation, and many cultivators started hitting on him.
Faced with that situation, Xu Que suddenly got angry and shouted, “You *ssholes, open your eyes and see clearly, I’m a man!”
