Chapter 1368: Demon! Ah, Demon!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Did the Heavenly Tribulation run away?

That’s what everyone thought!

Even though Duan Jiude and Liu Jingning had once seen Xu Que crossing a tribulation, it was only at the last phase that the Heavenly Tribulation started retreating. It had never run away by itself when only half-descended.

This was a never-before-seen happening and a shocking sight.

“My dear, when did this lad become so devilish? Even the Heavenly Tribulation is afraid of him,” Duan Jiude asked, as he was filled with shock. He found this unbelievable.

Liu Jingning also looked startled, but later she smiled beautifully.

“The man I fancy should be like this.”

.....

“F*ck! Do you want to escape? I have waited for you for a long time, yet you want to escape? Come back to me!”

At this moment, Xu Que shouted loudly and stamped the ground with both legs. He instantly turned into a light beam that rushed into the sky.

In the twinkling of an eye, he overtook the golden lightning bolt, and, as he waved his hand, his tremendous Celestial Core Power formed a giant hand that seemed like a God’s hand. The hand forcefully took hold of the golden lightning bolt and pulled it!

BANG!

The next moment, Xu Que opened his mouth and a terrifying suction force emanated from him. He instantly absorbed the struggling golden lightning into his belly.

In an instant, his whole body became engulfed by golden lightning, and it emitted a golden radiance. Wisps of lightning were running across his skin’s surface, and his body seemed like a Golden Dharmic Body that could exterminate all other beings. He seemed so powerful!

The Divine Farmer Clan members were completely dumbstruck, and their minds went blank.

As for Yi Fang, his face turned pale, his pupils contracted, and his body shivered. He found this unbelievable!

“How...how is this possible?”

He couldn’t accept this. This was beyond his understanding of a Heavenly Tribulation.

Cultivators were afraid of the Heavenly Tribulation because it was a tribulation, it was a tribulation of Heaven that they suffered because they went against it. Everyone had been afraid of it throughout the ages.

But now, the Ancient Catastrophe that was considered the most terrifying Heavenly Tribulation had been scared by an old man. The most amazing thing was that this old man had still chased it and swallowed it.

“What is the meaning of this?”

“Is he toying with us?”

“We have striven so hard and our few Guardians have consumed a large part of their cultivation power and life span to summon an Ancient Catastrophe. Yet, this is the outcome.”

“What the h*ll is this? What kind of crazy plot is this?”

The Divine Farmer Clan members almost collapsed, and it was especially the case for the few Guardians. They couldn’t accept this reality, and they had even forgotten about trying to get away. They stood in a daze in their places and observed everything that occurred with blank faces.

This incident had occurred quickly, and it had lasted for only a few seconds. After Xu Que swallowed the first wisp of Ancient Catastrophe, his body quickly moved and charged toward the second wisp.

The golden lightning was hiding among the pitch-black lightning clouds and it was trying to disappear.

If the clouds didn’t scatter, the golden lightning wouldn’t be able to dissipate, and it could only hide among them. It was like a scared little snake and it didn’t possess even a tad of its former tyrannical aura and heavenly might.

“Come get me!”

Xu Que laughed in front of the dumbstruck crowd’s gazes as he looked for the second wisp of the Ancient Catastrophe in the clouds and dragged it away forcefully. Soon after, he stuffed it into his mouth.

This was a crude and simple way to swallow it, and it left a second trauma on the minds of the Divine Farmer Clan members.

A demon, this man was a demon and wasn’t a human.

How was it possible for an ordinary person or an ordinary cultivator to do this?

The Divine Farmer Clan members were shocked, and their knowledge, which was built upon innumerable years of cultivation, was nearly toppled.

BURP!!

At this moment, Xu Que let out a long burp in the sky. The noise wasn’t loud, but the Divine Farmer Clan members found it too ear-piercing, and they found it satirical.

However, Xu Que had only burped because his belly was too full. This was the first time he had tried swallowing the golden lightning to consume it.

As a matter of fact, this had distinctive effects. In the past, when he still had the Hell King’s Prison Suppression Physique, he tried using the golden lightning to hone his body. But now, he had already gotten a second-rate holy physique, and an Ancient Catastrophe at this grade couldn’t be used to hone his body.

This was why he had swallowed it, and this was better than using it externally to hone his body because the effects would be greater.

Even though it didn’t seem that his body’s surface received any immediate benefits, his meridians and internal organs power rose by another level after they were honed by the Ancient Catastrophe’s lightning essence.

A Holy Physique implied that the inside and outside of one’s body were both trained to the pinnacle, and one could depend upon his flesh body alone to become a saint. This was why it was called a Holy Physique!

“Interesting! When I get a first-rate Holy Physique in the future, nothing in the world will be able to obstruct me, and, if I want to go back to Earth, I just have to pierce the void with my fist and fly among the Spatial Wind’s blades.”

Xu Que had gotten some inspiration, and he became full of expectations for the Holy Physique.

The Holy Physique of the Act-Tough King had an aptitude and future beyond imagination, and it probably had another potential that he still hadn’t unearthed thoroughly.

“I need a fight. No, I don’t need just one fight, but a large number of fights. I need them to stimulate the Holy Physique’s boundless potential so that it can reach a new level. I must find a way to acquire a first-rate Holy Physique.”

Xu Que understood something. All kinds of physiques couldn’t reach their peak state by depending on a large amount of precious natural resources, and even if it was possible, one still wouldn’t be able to perfectly use that said physique’s full power.

During the recent past, he had been vigilant and fearful. After all, Taiyi Celestials and Daluo Celestials could kill him with a single finger.

This was why he wanted to develop himself through acting shamelessly, and he wanted to keep a low-profile as he tried to become stronger. This was why he used the identity of Xu Que’s father to cheat people in the Heaven Continent and why he used tricks to intimidate people.

It was especially the case when he got the protection of the two souls at the apex of the Celestial Prime Stage. Then he had desired to laze around more than before.

But now, after he had swallowed two golden lightning bolts, his flesh body got much stronger, and this was why Xu Que finally reflected over what he had been doing.

He mustn’t continue doing what he had been doing for a long time!

His road was filled with dangers, and a person who could pose a deadly threat to Xuanyuan Wanrong had even appeared. This was why he must become stronger quickly!

“Why I was so strong in the past?”

“Besides the System, the reason behind this was that I was fearless. Isn’t that so?”

“But now, why do I have to fear everything?”

“Even if I possess a backer and supporter, I still mustn’t depend upon him to make a living, and I must free myself of all restraints and struggle with my power fearlessly. In any case, I have support, so why do I have to worry about anything?”

“In the past, my supporter was the System. But now, the System’s version is out-dated, and it can’t provide me help for now. This was why my greatest supporter now is the two souls at the peak Celestial Prime Stage.”

“This is why I must now do something great.”

BANG!

The aura of Xu Que that was in the air suddenly became stronger and sharper than before, and his fearless, dominating air was revealed wholly.

This aura had always belonged to Xu Que, but after he disguised himself as Xu Que’s father, he had restrained it.

But now, he didn’t have to curb anything, and he didn’t plan to conceal anything.

“As a matter of fact, I have a secret, and I must inform you of it.”

Xu Que stood in the air and looked disdainfully at everyone. He stared at Yi Fang and his companions before he spoke with a smile.

Yi Fang and his companions were scared by Xu Que’s powerful aura that had appeared suddenly, and they didn’t pay any attention to what he said. Their first response was: “D*mn it!”

“It’s awful! Let’s retreat quickly,” Yi Fang shouted.

The few Guardians responded quickly, and they probably carried the talented youths and Yi Fang, before they rushed toward the entrance.

They didn’t care about the secret that Xu Que wanted to divulge, and the only thing they knew now was that if they didn’t escape, they would surely die here and they would suffer a miserable death.

But what was beyond their expectations was that after they had rushed out, they discovered that Xu Que hadn’t taken any actions and he was still floating in mid-air, looking at them with a smile.

Yi Fang and his companions realized that something was amiss, and they turned their heads around to take a look.

Mo Junchen was already waiting for them. He released the full power of Hell King’s Prison Suppression Physique. He emitted a tyrannical aura and he seemed able to defend a pass by himself in the face of 10,000 men. He blocked the way!

He slowly raised his hand and pointed his finger at Yi Fang’s group. He sneered and said, “I want to fight ten all by myself.”
