Chapter 950: What The Hell Is That?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
They traveled in the same way as they had traveled to Earth.
With the assistance of the System, Xu Que activated the Space-Breaking Spell as the Four Great Continents appeared in his mind. His mind was very powerful. After locating the Four Great Continents precisely, he started to go back.
Magnificent rune force gushed out from the Space-Breaking Spell, which covered them and dragged them into the Void Tunnel. The rune force was just a boat which could carry them into the endless abyss of the void.
Xu Que's mind was pointing at the Four Great Continents directly like a compass which navigated their journey all the time. At this time, it was pitch-dark around them just like when they traveled to Earth. Their travel speed was extremely fast. Even without any reference points, they could still feel they were moving forward at an incredibly fast speed.
Xu Que protected Xu Feifei with his True Core Strength. Jiang Hongyan also protected Xu Feifei with some of her strength. After all, she was still an ordinary person. This rapid travel in the void could definitely cause discomfort to her. She could be wounded easily even with the protection of the Space- Breaking Spell. She could even be torn apart by the powerful tearing force of the void. Therefore, they had to handle her with care.
Luckily, Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan were powerful enough. There was no painful expression in Xu Feifei's face. She was still looking at the pitch-dark void as well as the faintly visible stars in the distance with anxiety. This was the first time for her to stay in space, or, more precisely, in the void. After all, this place had gone beyond the category of space. The Void Tunnel was something deeper than space.
Howl! "Eight-headed Serpent, you are so dedicated! You keep massaging even at this moment! Your dedication shall be encouraged. When we reach the Four Great Continents, I will treat you to the authentic Smelly Tofu!" Buttface said excitedly as he was in a pretty good mood.
Even at this moment, he could still feel the toy poodle moving relentlessly on his head.
Puff! Xu Que couldn't help but laugh aloud and didn't know what to say.
The Eight-headed Serpent was so miserable now. After entering the body of that toy poodle, he couldn't control the physiological reactions of the dog. Therefore, he kept twitching his body and could never stop!
"Little brat, what are you laughing at? Do you envy me?" Buttface stared at Xu Que.
"No, no, no! I am happy for you! I'm very glad!" Xu Que couldn't help but laugh. ( B oxnovel.c om )
Buttface asked as he blinked his eyes, "Why?
"May you be happy!" Xu Que said thoughtfully.
Boom!
At this time, in the pitch-dark void, their travel speed was increased abruptly as if they were being pushed forward by a tremendous force!
According to the experience gained through his last trip, Xu Que knew they had entered the Void Tunnel officially. Before this, it was just a run-up. This was the tunnel which could reduce time and distance. As long as they could get through this place, they could reach the Four Great Continents soon. It was just like a shortcut among different worlds or spaces.
"Holy crap! Little brat, look, something is flying toward us!" Buttface shouted in surprise at this time.
Xu Que looked up immediately. A gigantic object was flying toward them rapidly from afar. One second ago, it was still so far away from them. The next second, this gigantic object had passed them.
Gasp!
However, when they saw the object clearly, Xu Que and Buttface couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Jiang Hongyan also became quite serious as her beautiful eyes flickered.
Xu Feifei widened her mouth in disbelief. She asked in a trembling voice, "Brother, what…was that? Is it an arm?"
"Yes, it is an arm!" Xu Que nodded his head.
The gigantic object that passed them just now was indeed an enormous severed arm! They could even see the cut on that severed arm. The cut was very smooth. It seemed it was chopped off by something sharp. Golden blood was flowing out from the cut, which hadn't formed any scab.
However, the creepy fact was that the severed arm was so large that it was almost as large as a mountain, which was so horrible!
"Damn! Who could have such a big arm?" Buttface said in terror.
"This is so weird! That severed arm looked quite old, at least tens of thousands of years! However, it was still bleeding and the blood was golden!" Xu Que also said in surprise.
After seeing the gigantic dead Demonic Beast when they traveled to Earth last time, this time they came across a mountainous severed arm. This was so weird. However, Xu Que was quite clear that the place where they were now was just a drop in the bucket in front of the endless void. What they had encountered should never be in this area.
Numerous weird things which they had never seen before could exist in this deep and immense void!
"I guess it was from the first generation of human beings in ancient times! As I said earlier, all human beings at the very beginning were Celestials who were extremely huge!" Buttface said.
"Could the arm of a Celestial be chopped off by someone?" Xu Que said, furrowing his eyebrows.
He believed in the existence of the Celestials. However, if a Celestial's arm could be chopped off by someone, it meant something more powerful than the Celestials could also exist!
Ding! "Attention! The Space-Breaking Spell has almost run out of its power, and can't help the Host to reach his destination. The Host should change the destination immediately!"
Just at this moment, the System's warning tone echoed in Xu Que's mind.He was surprised. When he came to himself, his expression changed abruptly. The rune force that was protecting them was decaying rapidly as the System mentioned.
"What happened? The rune power was enough for us to travel to Earth. When we arrived at Earth, we still had a lot of rune power left. Why is it not enough for our return trip?" Xu Que asked the System hurriedly.
Ding! The System replied immediately, "The Host travels together with an ordinary person without any cultivation achievement, who consumed most of the Space-Breaking Spell's rune power!"
Holy crap!
Xu Que's eyes got wide immediately. When he saw the data displayed in the System interface, he found Xu Feifei had consumed 60 percent of the Space- Breaking Spell's rune force! Apparently, too much rune force was used to protect her as an ordinary person.
"Damn! This is so embarrassing! What a treacherous System! Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known this before, I would have upgraded you and prepared more Space-Breaking Spells!" Xu Que said regretfully.
Ding! "The travel route of the Space-Breaking Spell varies a lot. And the routes for the outward journey and the return journey are different. The System can't perform calculation and judgment!"
"Crap! What should I do now? Could we go back to Earth? No! The Earth would be farther than the Four Great Continents at this moment!" Xu Que became anxious immediately!
The most awkward situation was that the rune force was about to run out soon. He didn't know where they could stay temporarily in the nearby areas. The destination of the Space-Breaking Spell should be something that really existed and within his memory!
"Little brat, what happened?" At this time, Jiang Hongyan, who noticed Xu Que's expression change, asked gently in a low voice.
"Bad news! The rune force of the Space-Breaking Spell is decaying!" Xu Que said with a wry smile.
He didn't expect the Space-Breaking Spell could run out its rune force so soon after taking Xu Feifei and the Eight-headed Serpent.
"Holy crap! Little brat, please tell me this is a joke! Without the rune force, we are doomed! We will be annihilated instantly!" Buttface shouted immediately.
No matter how tough his physique was, he couldn't be as tough as that dead Demonic Beast or that severed arm. Once he fell into the Void Tunnel, he could also be crushed instantly. ( B oxnovel.c om )
Xu Que asked the System seriously. However, the System didn't provide any useful solutions. The only thing that could save him was the Wheel of Life and Death, which was a Celestial Artifact.
One Celestial Artifact could protect one person. He had one, and Jiang Hongyan also had one. In other words, when the rune force disappeared, only he and Jiang Hongyan could survive. This was never the consequence Xu Que wanted.
Boom!
At this time, a big bang came in from the front abruptly. When Xu Que came to himself, he looked up and was surprised by what he saw.
"Holy crap!"
Buttface also shouted in surprise, "What the hell is that? How could it appear in this place?"
Chapter 951: A Weird World!

Rumble!
Deafening explosions were occurring continuously.
In the immense void, a red coffin was being covered by magnificent lightning, which was pouring down. The coffin was made from black wood. However, after being struck by the lightning, the coffin started to bleed red blood, which dyed the entire coffin red. The coffin was even giving off a decaying blood smell.
"How could such a thing exist in the void? Don't tell me another old monster of the Heavenly Human Tribe is hiding in it!" Buttface said in terror.
It was so ominous to see such a thing in the void!
"I don't think so! This coffin is quite new, which should only have a history of several hundred years at most! But why is it bleeding?" Xu Que asked suspiciously, furrowing his eyebrows. He had confirmed no aura of living persons was in the coffin. Otherwise, he would think someone was hiding in there!
The point is how could the Heavenly Tribulation be triggered if no living person is in that coffin?
Wait! Could it be that…?
"Holy crap!" Xu Que opened his eyes wide and said in shock, "This coffin is crossing Heavenly Tribulation!"
"What?" Buttface was stunned immediately.
Jiang Hongyan was also shocked slightly. She stared at the coffin and became more and more serious.
Could a coffin cross the Heavenly Tribulation? How could this be?
Rumble!
Suddenly, a giant golden lightning split the void, which was a long-lost Ancient Catastrophe! It landed on the coffin violently with a horrible power of destruction.
Bang!
Along with a big bang, the coffin was punctured. A gap appeared together with a splash of plenty of blood. The coffin was knocked away directly. At this moment, the coffin was blocked by something and its flying speed was lowered remarkably.
Crack! Along with the sound of breaking glass, a giant hole appeared in the pitch-dark void beside the coffin. A strand of dazzling light came in through the hole instantly. Meanwhile, the coffin also flew into the hole and disappeared.
"What? Spiritual Qi?" Xu Que's eyes were wide open now.
Before they had time to react, a horrible attraction force gushed out from the hole and swept toward them.
Xu Que and his team didn't have enough power to resist the attraction force. Like being trapped in a whirlpool at sea, they left their flying route and were sucked into the hole directly. The next moment, the giant hole started to creep toward them and they were devoured by the darkness slowly. The void became quiet again.
…
At this moment, Xu Que and his team had left the void. A cloud of intense Spiritual Qi was whipping past their faces. They were shocked. They saw many green mountains, clear waters, forests, and ancient buildings, which looked like the Four Great Continents and the Xuanzhen Continent very much.
"What the hell? Are we back successfully?" Buttface, who had been shaken up just now, cheered up as he thought they had returned to the World of Cultivators.
Xu Que shook his head. This place was definitely not the Four Great Continents or the Xuanzhen Continent. He was quite clear that they couldn't have gotten back to the Four Great Continents in such a short time. Moreover, although the Spiritual Qi here was quite intense, it was less intense than that in the Xuanzhen Continent. It could only rival the Five Elements Mountain!
"Wait! It seems this is not the World of Cultivators! I could sense another kind of strength in the air here!" Buttface came to himself and said suspiciously at this time. His nose was very sensible, which could always sense something different first!
Hearing that, Xu Que was stunned. He opened his Soul Strength and started to sense the strength in this area carefully. As expected, besides the Spiritual Qi, another kind of energy, which was quite like the Spiritual Qi, existed in this area. After inhaling it into his body, he could feel his physique was being toughened by that energy.
"Hah! This place is quite interesting. Anyway, we are safe now!" Xu Que said with a smile.
Now, the rune force of the Space-Breaking Spell had disappeared. Luckily, they had left the void and landed in this place. It was not necessary for them to worry they would be torn apart by the strength of the void anymore.
The things that happened just now were just like when one was riding a roller coaster and their safety belts were about to crack soon. They would definitely have been killed if they had stayed on that roller coaster any longer. However, a coffin appeared suddenly, which broke the track. All of them fell off the roller coaster and landed on a cloud of "cotton", which saved their lives.
"Wait! We have company!" At this time, Jiang Hongyan raised her head and looked in the distance.
Boom!
Many air-rending sounds were coming in from afar. Theysaw dozens of figures in black robes were flying toward them rapidly riding sticks.
Xu Que and Xu Feifei's eyes opened wide with surprise for this scene was a little bit familiar to them.
"Magicians? Harry Potter?" Xu Feifei covered her mouth in surprise.
Xu Que was also confused. Although those people didn't ride brooms, their way of flying and their black robes made them seem like the magicians in the movie Harry Potter very much!
"Holy crap! They are rushing toward us with intense murderous intent!" Buttface shouted in surprise. He had turned around and was about to escape.
"No, they are not coming for us!" Xu Que squinted his eyes and said, shaking his head. These murderous people were not from one group. They were fighting their enemies separately. It seemed they were fighting for something.
"Ha, ha! It descends at last!" One of them laughed loudly.
"The descending of the Blood Coffin means the certain reappearance of the Refined Moon Palace!"
"Guys, please do me a favor, I, Mo Mingyuan, only need three Refined Moon Keys!" A young man, who was at the forefront, shouted.
A man beside him sneered immediately, "Heh-heh, you are really good at bragging! Only five Refined Moon Keys could be obtained from one Blood Coffin. You said you need three! I suggest you could die now!"
After saying that, that man started to attack Mo Mingyuan with his fists.
Mo Mingyuan snorted. Metallic scales appeared on his body immediately, which were turned to a steel arm. Then, the steel arm was placed in front of him like a mechanical shield.
Clang! Along with the sound of a metal collision, the two of them created a lot of sparks. However, none of them gained an upper hand. After this short fight, they continued to dash forward crazily.
"What…are these magic arts?" Xu Que was shocked and didn't understand the scene that happened just now.
Buttface was also confused. He said in surprise, "Little brat, their hands were just like the hands of your Iron Man!"
"This place is quite extraordinary!" Xu Que shook his head.
When those two people fought, their arms were turned to metallic arms instantly. At first glance, it was not like the hands of Iron Man, but the Kamen Rider in the cartoon he had watched in his childhood.
Of course, he knew it was a kind of magic art, which contained not only the Spiritual Qi, but also the energy mentioned by Buttface just now. The combination of the Spiritual Qi and that energy realized the effect of this magic art.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this time, several dull sounds came in.
Those people passed Xu Que and his team one after another and started to dash toward the forests beneath them crazily.
"Get lost!" One of them shouted suddenly.
Xu Que and his team were just in his way. This guy took out a long sword and started to attack Xu Que with it resolutely.
Xu Que squinted his eyes and reached out his palm with a cold smile.
How dare you yell at me? How dare you attack me?
I guess you've lost your mind, little dumbass!
Boom!
Instantly, Xu Que's palm attack was finished. Violent wind gushed out from his palm like magnificent sea waves.
Bang!
Along with a dull sound, that man was knocked out as if he knocked into an iron wall. The stick he was riding also fell down directly.
"What?"
Seeing that, the rest of the people turned to Xu Que immediately.
"Who is this guy?"
"What is the fighting skill he used just now?"
"It is quite like the Magic Fighting Weapon of the Dong Family, which could attack its target over the air!"
"The Magic Fighting Weapon of the Dong Family? I heard it has been lost!"
"Could it be…?"
After saying that, those people lit up their eyes and started to stare at Xu Que greedily.
Chapter 952: Look Up And Worship Me With Respect!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que folded his arms behind his back as he floated in midair, his sleeves fluttering in the wind.
Buttface was in position to run anytime, while toy poodle squirmed anxiously.
Xu Feifei stood near Xu Que, and a surge of uncertainty and uneasiness slowly crept into her mind. She was only an ordinary human. She knew that the gang in front of her had ill intentions, and she could not say for sure if Xu Que was stronger than they were.
Jiang Hongyan, as usual, was the only person as calm and serene as a lake undisturbed by the wind. She stood elegantly near Xu Que, unfazed and smiling, like a fairy who had descended from the heavens.
The young men from the gang had intended to kill and rob them. Upon seeing such a rare, perfect, and flawless beauty, however, their eyes widened in awe.
"Ha, ha!" Xu Que smirked as he pulled Jiang Hongyan close to him and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. He peered icily at the gang, "Peel your damn eyes away from her. If you don't, I will make all of you blind!"
The men started raging, one by one.
"Audacious! You're just a nobody, and yet you dare to spit out such outrageous words?"
"Of the many years that we've been in the First Realm, this is our first time seeing you around. Before we send off a signal to call for the enforcer, it's best that you surrender now!"
"You should know the law. Trespassing between realms is punishable by death! Once the enforcer is here, your ending shall be way more tragic than it has to be!"
"Hand over all your valuables and leave your woman behind. If you comply, we could inform the enforcer after you leave!"
The gang were behaving obnoxiously and making all kinds of ridiculous demands because they believed Xu Que was as good as doomed. They were trying to get him to hand over his belongings as they were too lazy to mug him. Secondly, they also wanted to preserve their strength.
Xu Que was amused. He smirked and shook his head, "How interesting! The first thing that we encounter upon arriving is a robbery. There's no need to rob us so hastily, is there? Since we're in the same line of work!"
One of the robbers sneered, "Ha, who's in the same line as you? You're an alien from another realm. What rights do you have to say you are in the same line of work as us?"
"You misunderstand! By being in the same line, I meant that we are also here to rob!" Xu Que smiled and swung his massive Dark Heavy Greatsword onto his shoulders. His voice was as cold as ice, "This is now the robbery session of the Exploding Heavens Faction. Now, put your damn hands on your heads and kneel!"
Boom!
As his voice rang out, an oppressing and overwhelming pressure burst out of Xu Que and crushed the robbers.
"What?" The blood quickly drained from the robbers' faces.
"How can this be?"
"What fighting skill was that?"
"Is that strange-looking weapon he's holding also a Magic Fighting Weapon?"
The robbers chattered among themselves since they were surprised by the incredible yet unfamiliar pressure. They looked at Xu Que's Dark Heavenly Sword, seemingly guessing that it might just be the effect of his equipment. Thanks to their well-built physiques, they were uninjured from the attack even though the pressure was quite crushing. Xu Que's orders for them to hug their hands and kneel therefore fell on deaf ears.
"Hmm?" Xu Que was taken aback. To Xu Que, these people practiced a weird kind of Magic Art. Therefore, how they cultivated must be different from how people cultivated in the World of Cultivators. However, judging from their aura, these people seemed comparable to cultivators at the fourth or fifth level of the Form Synthesis Stage. Logically speaking, they should not be immune to the pressure of his Soul Strength. The only possible explanation was that their big, burly bodies were strong and resilient enough to withstand the pressure of his Soul Strength.
.
"Crap, lad, these people emit a strong aura of the Metal element which far surpasses the existence of the Five Elemental Metals!" Buttface's eyes lit up in excitement. He seemed to have discovered something.
"An aura of the Metal element that far surpasses the Five Elemental Metals?" Xu Que was astounded.
Although Buttface was sort of tripping over his words, Xu understood exactly what he was trying to say. Everything these men existed in—in other words, the mysterious energy that seemed to coexist with Spiritual Qi in the atmosphere—was precisely the energy that surpassed the Metal Energy of the Five Elemental Metals! However, this begged the question—if it's an energy that surpassed the Five Elements, could it be equitable to Heavenly Qi?
"Buttface, are you talking about the Heavenly Qi of Metal?" Xu Que turned to Buttface and asked immediately.
Buttface shook his head as he replied mysteriously, "No, no, no, what you mentioned earlier is an existence lower than Heavenly Qi, yet above the five Elemental Qi. It is commonly known as 'what the hell is this' !"
"What the hell is this?" Xu Que repeated, stunned.
Buttface nodded, "That's right, 'what the hell is this'! I just named it. What do you think, isn't it cool?" Buttface proudly showed off the lousy humor he had learned on Earth.
"Screw you!" Xu Que was so mad he almost wanted to whoop Buttface there and then. Buttface, on the other hand, took off immediately once he saw how furious Xu Que was.
"I'll deal with you later!" Xu Que warned. His gaze then landed on those young robbers. His eyes narrowed as he started to observe them.
"What are you looking at? You lowlife have no right to look us in the eye!" One of the young men scowled.
"Let's cut the crap and deal with him fast, then go for the blood coffin!"The remaining guys glared at Xu Que coldly. Although they were astonished by the pressure Xu Que had unleashed, it was not enough to make them fear him.
Xu Que shook his head and teased, "You guys think too much. I'm not looking straight at you. I am looking down on you!"
Boom!
As soon as he had finished speaking, he stepped onto a bolt of thunderous lightning, igniting a series of insane explosions. "You dare to look right into my eyes? You people will now look up to me. Raise your heads and worship me with respect!" Xu Que bellowed as he rose to midair. He raised the Dark Heavenly Sword as it lit up in black flames and swerved it downward!
"What?"
"What kind of fighting skill was that?"
"This is bad! Retreat!"
The young man immediately paled. They were truly horrified by Xu Que this time around and began to madly retreat. They had never seen flames this horrifying. It was also their first time seeing such immense destructive power in one move!
Boom!
A few of the men started to escape; however, the heat waves generated by the flames of the Dark Heavenly Sword swept out and engulfed them! At that moment, black flames engulfed the whole sky, blocking off the sun. It was as if the world had ended; it immediately swallowed those men within seconds.
"Ahhhhhh!" The robbers let out a series of painful screams, which could be heard coming out of the sea of black flames. With their voices echoing all around, they finally met their demises.
….
In the woods farther down, Mo Mingyuan and his team had just landed near the Blood Coffin. They stopped for a moment upon hearing the painful screams coming from above. A dozen of them looked up and instantly paled. Color drained from their skin as they stuttered in fear.
"How can this be?"
"What happened? How did they…?"
Boom!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced through the black flames. Leaving a trail, it cut through the void and traveled toward them! In just the blink of an eye, a man stood before them. Red lips, white teeth, the incomer had a handsome face and a sunshine smile. It was none other than Xu Que!
"Gentlemen!"
Xu Que began to speak as everyone else was still dazed. He pointed his Dark Heavenly Sword at them and smirked, "It's the robbery session of the Exploding Heavens Faction! Now, put your damn hands on your heads and kneel! That Blood Coffin is mine!"
Chapter 953: The One Against 100!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Robbery?
They were first astonished, then frowned, upon hearing Xu Que's words. They glared at him icily and were prepared to kill this bastard before them.
Xu Que smiled mildly, "Come on, spare me those looks. You were the ones who wanted to rob me first; I am just returning the favor. This ain't too much to ask, right?"
"Hmpf! What an obnoxious man!" A few of the men remarked, shaking their heads. Some of their faces darkened as they spoke, "The people who provoked you are no relation to us. No matter what, your speaking of robbery has offended us all!"
"Heh, why do we have to be so hung up on that word? Young man, you look unfamiliar. You don't belong to the First Realm, do you? A trespasser from another realm, I see. It's a sin you'll be dying for!"
"Let alone robbing you, if we were to execute you, it would still be logical and righteous!"
"Everyone, we have seen how powerful this person is, why don't we put aside our conquest for the blood coffin and deal with him first?" Mo Mingyuan suggested. Now that they had seen Xu Que's abilities, everyone was on guard. He might prove to be a tough cookie if they refused to join hands.
"I agree, this lowlife is but an insignificant ant from a lower realm. He dared to trespass in our realm and provoke us; if we don't deal with him, we can kiss good-bye to our reputations should the word get out!"
Everyone nodded in agreement; though they hadn't spoken, their actions couldn't have been clearer. The gang surrounded Xu Que and was prepared to fight. Vast amounts of energy flowed out of them as they approached him.
"Wow, are you bullying us with numbers? Well, well, I shall fight you, single-handedly!" After which, he placed one hand behind his back and smiled. His actions triggered some short-tempered individuals in the group.
"Insolent!"
"You are digging your own grave! Charge!"
Those few were as furious as a bull seeing red, and a brillance suddenly engulfed their bodies, which began to transform.
A sudden flash, and the skin on their arms began to throb, forming a metallic surface. One of them had electricity on his metal arms, while the other had his steel arms covered in flames.
Boom!
A slight push against the ground and the ground cracked like a spiderweb. They charged toward Xu Que like missiles. Upon seeing this, the rest followed suit. From their auras, Xu Que could differentiate who was stronger; the one thing they had in common was that their skin was replaced with metal. It only appeared on their forearms, and the colors differed from person to person.
Xu Que narrowed his eyes as he observed his enemy, the hand he hid behind his back were already charged with an overwhelming amount of Taoist Connotation.
A 20,000 points worth of King of Tough-Acting Fist was ready to strike.
Bam!
At almost the same time, the first few who initiated the attack had charged to the right before Xu Que, bulldozing him with their immense pressure. Their arms had turned into metal completely, some had electricity on them and some had flames bursting out as they unleashed their attacks on Xu Que.
"Heh, this is interesting!" Xu Que smirked as he lifted the Dark Heavenly Sword into the air.
"Careful!" A few of the attackers dodged swiftly upon seeing that frightening weapon. However, that was the moment Xu Que attacked with his left hand from behind his back. A massive golden fist appeared out of thin air, its power so huge that it could destroy all life. With an all-crushing pressure, it charged forward toward the attackers.
Boom!
The Tough-Acting Fist landed on the few men charging at the front; the impact sent them flying a few miles away like kites with broken strings. Blood flew from their mouths as they traveled through the air.
"What?" exclaimed the people at the back. They were stunned.
However, the blow from the King of Tough-Acting Fist was not yet finished; it pushed forward powerfully as it shook heaven and earth, destroying everything in its way.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Instantly, after a few muffled thuds, dozens were swept off their feet. It was quite a scene to behold.
"Hmm?" Xu Que was, however, mildly surprised. He was puzzled. If he was in the World of Cultivation, even a powerhouse at the peak of the Form Synthesis Stage would be no match for the Tough-Acting Fist worth 20,000 points. They would have been instantly dead, blown into pieces right on the spot. However, while the people before him were severely injured, no one had died from the attack.
"That's impossible! The King of Tough-Acting Fist was less effective than the Eight Waste Destruction Flame?" Xu Que's eyebrows knitted together. When he used the Eight Waste Destruction Flame, he was able to kill some attackers with the black flame in a matter of seconds. He ascertained that it was indeed within his abilities to kill them, and thus did not see them as a threat. However, his goal in using the King of Tough-Acting Fist was to end these people once and for all, without wasting any more time. Little did he know that the Tough-Acting Fist would fail him one day. He definitely did not expect to not kill even one of them with the fist.
"Unless…it is related to the Taoist Connotation?" Xu Que began to ponder. It was clear that the Tough-Acting Fist had been executed with the Taoist Connotation, and, with it, the fist could oppress and defeat his enemies. The Eight Waste Destruction Flame, however, inflicts real, concrete damage through flames and explosions. If put into the context of a game, the damage of the Tough-Acting Fist could be defined as magic damage, while the Eight Waste Destruction Flame would deal out physical damage.
However, it was now evident that people of this realm were immune to magical damage to a certain extent. There was only one possible reason for this phenomenon to occur. Xu Que guessed that was perhaps related to the laws governing this world. Here, the Taoist Connotation was significantly reduced. On the other hand, Mystical Fires were boosted instead.
"Crap, I see it now! Mystical fires originate from the Battle Qi Continent!" Xu Que came to a sudden realization. While his Mythical Fires were redeemed from the System, they originated from the Battle Qi Continent. Come to think of it, these people were yelling about fighting skills and magic fighting weapons. While Xu Que was sure they were not using Battle Qi, the power that they were using could be related to Battle Qi.
Whoosh!
Xu Que stepped out onto a bolt of lightning and arrived in front of those people. Though they were not dead from Xu Que's attack, the terrifying power of his fist had knocked them all to the ground, bloodied and unable to fight. Some paled in horror as they saw Xu Que coming toward them.
Someone howled at him furiously, "Despicable! You said that you would only fight with one hand. You snuck an attack!"
"Snuck an attack, your ass! Didn't I only use one hand to fight as promised?" Xu Que laughed coldly as he strode forward. He then brought down the Dark Heavenly Sword.
Thud!
A muffled thud could be heard when the sword landed heavily on the person's chest. His eyes became bloodshot as he bolted up from the ground. "You…." He glared at Xu Que, but before he could finish his sentence, he collapsed just like that, losing all signs of life.
"Heh, so what if I did sneak an attack? You all think that you can beat me? I'll fight my battles however I want. Besides, all of you are weak. Who gave you the confidence to offend me, I wonder?" Xu Que laughed icily.
All of them lay on the ground, the metal on their forearms long faded. Covered in blood, they were astounded by Xu Que's power and had a deep sense of wariness in their eyes. They could not refute what Xu Que had said. They were clear that with Xu Que's prowess, he could fight them in any way he wanted and the outcome would still be the same.
Who exactly was this fellow?
Awe and confusion filled their hearts. They had never seen a young man with power so great. He was like the one man who could go against 100!
"Stay where you are, lie down, and don't move. Whoever answers my questions stands a chance to live!" Xu Que folded his arms behind his back as he strolled toward them.
"One, where is this place?"
"Two, what's the origin of the Blood Coffin and what is it used for?"
"Three, tell me how you cultivate!"
"Four, am I handsome?"
"Five, the fourth question is very important!"
Chapter 954: Making A Space-Breaking Spell
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Swoosh!
At that instant, everyone was stunned with confused looks on their faces. It was not that Xu Que's questions were too weird. It was that all of his questions felt like he was just fooling around.
What do you mean that you don't know where this place is? How then did you arrive here?
What do you mean that you don't know what the Blood Coffin is? Why the heck then are you robbing it?
Most important, how could you not know if you are good looking or not?
Everyone looked at one another blankly, unsure on how they should answer Xu Que. Could it be that he was tricking them?
"Yo, no answers? Wow, I'm impressed with your courage. Your attitude that you would rather die than surrender is not bad! I'll grant your wishes and send you guys off to the afterlife then!"
Xu Que shook his head and smiled, raising the Dark Heavenly Sword over his head.
Everyone paled when they saw him doing that.
One of them quickly answered, "Master, this is the First Realm of Taijin Continent!"
Someone else quickly followed, "Master, the Blood Coffin appears once every 500 years randomly somewhere around the First Realm. Every Blood Coffin could crystallize five sets of Refined Moon Keys, which are the keys to enter the Refined Moon Palace!"
Two crucial questions had been answered at once. The others began to panic when they realized that they did not have any questions left to answer.
One of the women shouted, "Master, you are very handsome. I mean it!"
Another person moved fast and brought out a Cultivation Skill Manual. He held it up to Xu Que respectfully, "Master, this is my Cultivation Skill Manual. Please take a look!"
Skill Manual?
Everyone's eyes brightened and they all began to do the same.
"Master, this is my Cultivation Skill Manual. Please accept it!"
( B oxnovel.c om ) "Master, mine is better. It is of the mid-tier Bronze Grade!"
"Master, don't listen to him! The one he has is rubbish. Mine is top-tier Bronze Grade!"
Many took out their skill manuals. They were scrolls made of metal, with colorful lights embedded in them.They looked quite high-tech.
"Hmph, you cowardly imbeciles!" A loud voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone paused for a moment and turned around blankly.
"Is that Mo Mingyuan?"
"What…what is he trying to do? Is he going to resist to the death?"
"The only result that could come out of that is death! Why would he do that?"
Everyone's hearts were filled with shock.
Xu Que narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze toward Mo Mingyuan. Mo Mingyuan clenched his teeth and stood up with great effort, reaching into his chest pocket. The next moment, with a clear "crash", multiple scrolls fell out of his clothes. Mo Mingyuan put his hands out and said determinedly, "Master, I present to you five high-tier Bronze Grade Skill Manuals and two low-tier Silver Grade Skill Manuals. It's not that I'm afraid to die, but instead I did this because my respect for you is like the never-ending river that flows on forever!"
"Crap!" Everyone winced at once and could hardly hold themselves back from scolding that jerk.
Screw him, is he still human to do that?
"Oh? You look up to me? Then you're blowin… no, you're quite ballsy, eh? You've got good eyes!" Xu Que said with a smile while staring at Mo Mingyuan mischievously.
Mo Mingyuan trembled a little quickly laughed humbly, "You flatter me, Master!"
"All right. Since everyone is so cooperative, all of you may take your leave!"
Everyone heaved sighs of relief, having escaped a close shave. They all yelled, "Thank you, Master!" All of them immediately ran away. Those who could run ran; those who couldn't run crawled, and those who couldn't crawl rolled.
In any case, they did not want to stay in this place for a second longer. This guy with an existence of such prowess chilled them from head to toe, and they wanted nothing more than to leave.
Xu Que watched them disappear into the distance and narrowed his eyes.
Swoosh!
Jiang Hongyan and her companions arrived from afar.
"Good lad, 666! I was right about you!" Buttface nodded, reassured like a wise old man.
However, no one spared him any attention. Xu Feifei looked directly at Xu Que and asked, "Brother, have you gotten anything from them? Where is this place?"
"Yeah. We are now at a place called the Taijin Continent, and this perimeter belongs to the First Realm. There are many other realms aside from this place. Although I have no idea how big this continent is, from the ages and abilities of the cultivators, I would say that the overall level of the cultivators here is almost comparable to the Xuanzhen Continent. However, they are nothing to be afraid of."
( B oxnovel.c om ) From the answers the people had offered, he had more or less gotten a good grasp of the situation in this continent. He had scanned the Skill Manuals which the people had offered him with his Soul Strength. Their way of cultivation was very similar to the Physical Tempering of the cultivation world. However, due to the existence of an unusually powerful metal element in their Spiritual Qi, through cultivation, they could all form metallic physical armors based on the grade of the Skill Manual.
For example, a Bronze Grade Skill Manual would allow them to create a Bronze Armor.
Likewise, a Silver Grade Skill Manual would summon a Silver Armor. So on and so forth.
As for the unusually powerful metal element in their Spiritual Qi, it was called Taijin Qi in this continent and was the basis of how the people in this realm cultivated.
Xu Que shared everything he had gathered with his companions.
Buttface tilted his head in confusion and stood blankly at the side. His brains might not have been quite strong enough to process what Xu Que said. Jiang Hongyan and Xu Feifei got it though and asked for Xu Que's next plans.
Xu Que laughed. "What follows next is that we have to return to the cultivation world! However, before we return, I must make more Space-Breaking Spells."
To make Space-Breaking Spells, first he had to update the System to version 10.0 and then redeem the recipe about making a Space-Breaking Spell. Xu Que's current points were sufficient to update the system to version 10.0. The reason he had shelved it for so long was that he was in no hurry to update the System.
After all, Acting Tough points are like cash. Unless there is some good investment, it is better to have it in your hands, where you can use it as and when you need to. Now was the time that he wanted to use it. Upgrading the System was the only way that he could redeem the Space-Breaking Spell, make it, and return to the World of Cultivation.
"System, commence the upgrade to version 10.0! Then redeem the Space-Breaking Spell!" Xu Que summoned the System interface.
Ding! "Update in progress!"
The System began to undergo a series of upgrades, consuming large amounts of Acting Tough Points.
Ding! "The System has successfully upgraded to version 6.0, and a total of 80,000 Acting Tough Points have been deducted."
Ding! "The System has successfully upgraded to version 7.0, and a total of 160,000 Acting Tough Points have been deducted."
Ding! "The System has successfully upgraded to version 8.0, and a total of 320,000 Acting Tough Points have been deducted."
Ding! "The System has successfully upgraded to version 9.0, and a total of 640,000 Acting Tough Points have been deducted."
Ding! "The System has successfully upgraded to version 10.0, and a total of 1,280,000 Acting Tough Points have been deducted."
The System upgraded five versions in one go, and 2,480,000 Acting Tough Points disappeared in a flash.
Xu Que's heart had pangs from the painful cost. The little over 2 million Acting Tough Points he had scrimped and saved were gone just like that! Now he was beaten back to square one. However, it was something unavoidable and needed to be done. Xu Que knew that he would have to upgrade the System sooner or later. Moreover, updating the System was the only way he could get his hands on the Space-Breaking Spell.
Sigh! Forget it! I am, after all, a person who scatters gold like dust, the ultimate opposite of a stingy man! Come on, System, quickly give me the recipe for the Space-Breaking Spell! Xu Que shook his head and thought to himself. ( B oxnovel.c om )
The System store bounced into view and displayed a gold, shining jade slip. The way to make a Space-Breaking Spell and all of the ingredients needed could be found in the jade slip. Xu Que took a look and almost vomited blood in anger.
"System, you playing around with me? Making a pathetic Space-Breaking Spell consumes this many precious ingredients? How the crap am I going to find these? Ten-Millennium-Dog-Blood, Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew, Thousand-Year-Tree-of-Life, Undying White Bone Ashes, Undying Black Bone Ashes, what the heck are these?" Xu Que asked furiously.
In the list of ingredients, the first three were still quite reasonable. Especially so for the Thousand-Year-Tree-of-Life, it was the Living Holy Tree. He had gotten several of them from the South Continent Mystery Land. What a shock! He did not expect the Living Holy Tree to be the lowest tier of all the ingredients.
"Lad, why are you spacing out? Are you still going to make the Space-Breaking Spell? Let me know if you can't make it! I've waited so long that my stomach is growling!" Buttface began to hurry him.
"Eh" Xu Que turned to Buttface at once, and his eyes lit up. Wasn't the Ten-Millennium-Dog-Blood right in front of his eyes?
Chapter 955: Where Is My Bucket?

Xu Que stood there with a shiny smile on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Buttface, come here!"
"What?" Buttface widened his eyes vigilantly.
According to his experience of being bullied by Xu Que for all these years, he figured something bad was hiding behind Xu Que's smile.
Xu Que said, "Nothing! Just come over, I will give you something delicious!"
Buttface said, "No!"
"What the hell? Why don't you want it? You are so skinny now! I guess you didn't have anything good to eat on Earth, right? You should increase your nutrition intake!" Xu Que said lovingly, as he looked at Buttface's stout body.
Puff! "Don't try to fool me! If you really want to give me something delicious, just throw it to me!" Buttface sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food.
Xu Que said with a smile, "I can't throw it. It is a new delicacy, and its name is the Nine Heavens Chilly Jade Ultimate Busty Milk Tea! If I throw it, it will spill!"
"Busty…Milk Tea?" Buttface' eyes lit up, and he asked Xu Feifei, drooling, "Girl, I trust you! Is what he said true? Can't he throw it?"
"Ah?" Xu Feifei was confused. Then, she said, nodding her head, "He can't throw it for it will spill!"
Howl! Buttface roared wildly. Then he rushed up to Xu Que and said excitedly, "Come on, show it to me! Here I am!"
"OK!" Xu Que smiled. When Buttface got close to him, he waved his hand and took out a glittering machete.
Swish!
Seeing that, Buttface's expression changed abruptly. He stopped in his tracks and said in terror, "Crap! What…are you going to do? Where is the Milk Tea? I don't eat knives!"
"Don't be afraid! I only need some blood! After the blood drawing, I'll give you the Milk Tea!" Xu Que laughed loudly as he rushed up with the machete in his hand.
"Damn! I don't want it anymore! Stay away from me! Holy crap!" Buttface turned around and escaped in terror.
However, he was too close to Xu Que. Bang! He was pinned on the ground by Xu Que after running only a few steps.
"Oh…oh…." The toy poodle was still moving his body on Buttface's head. When he saw Xu Que, he said with a smile immediately, "Oh, oh…my lord, do you also want to…do it here? I will share this place with you. We can do it together!"
"Just get lost!" Xu Que picked up the toy poodle and threw him away from Buttface. Then he placed the machete on Buttface's head.
Buttface was struggling desperately. He yelled, "Little brat, have you lost your mind? I went through fire and water with you! How could you draw my blood? I would rather die than submit!"
"Nonsense! Stop struggling! I need some Ten-Millennium-Wolf-Blood to make the Space-Breaking Spells. Don't you want to go back to the World of Cultivators?" Xu Que said seriously.
"What? Are you going to make Space-Breaking Spells? No, I don't want to go back now!" Buttface shouted.
Bang! Xu Que pounded on Buttface's head and said, widening his eyes, "I don't care whether you want to go back or not! The point is I want to go back! Just hand over the Ten-Millennium-Wolf-Blood cooperatively!"
Howl! Buttface started to shriek hysterically, crying like a baby. He yelled, "Wait, little brat, just wait! I have something to say!"
Xu Que stopped cutting with the machete and asked, "What?"
"Alas!" Buttface sighed deeply and said seriously, "Now, I have to tell you the truth! Actually, I am not a wolf but a dog!"
"Oh, that's it, is it?! What I want is Ten-Millennium-Dog-Blood!" Xu Que nodded his head and continued to cut Buttface's head with the machete.
Buttface was dumbfounded. "What? What did you say? You said you wanted the Ten-Millennium-Wolf-Blood!"
"I was wrong just now. Actually, I need the Ten-Millennium-Dog-Blood! If you don't believe me, I can show you the formula!" Xu Que said with a smile.
Buttface was annoyed immediately. He started to struggle desperately and shouted abuse, "Crap! Stop your nonsense! Just let me go! What I said was also wrong! I am not a dog but a wolf!"
"What? How arrogant you are! How dare you curse me? Is it because you are overconfident or think I am too weak to punish you? Do you really think I can't cut your skin?" Xu Que raised his eyebrows immediately.
Although Xu Que failed to make Buttface bleed a bit after cutting his skin for a time, he could do it by using some other tricks, no matter how tough Buttface's physique was!
Hearing that, Buttface gave up directly. He said hurriedly, "No, please, don't do that! I will be cooperative!"
"Be cooperative?" Xu Que said with a faint smile, "Then, tell me, how will you be cooperative?"
"In fact, I have a little bit of Ten-Millennium-Dog-Blood with me. But the volume is quite low. Just tell me how much you want first?" Buttface gave up and said seriously.
Xu Que let him go temporarily and said, "You are quite sensible. One Space- Breaking Spell needs three drops of blood. Just give me 30 drops!"
"30 drops? Crap! You can kill me now!" Buttface was surprised. He almost jumped up – 30 drops were too much for him.
"I need at least 20 drops! No less!" Xu Que said with a smile.
"No, ten drops! I can only give you ten drops!"
"How much do you have?"
"Not much!"
"OK, just stop your nonsense! Ten drops are OK for now! Anyway, I will come back to you if I need more!" Xu Que shook his head; he didn't want to waste his time on Buttface.
From his point of view, Buttface's possessions also belonged to him!
"Alas! What a heavy loss! I can't take it anymore!" Buttface stood up and shook his head. Then, he waved his paw at his stomach. The next moment, his stomach started to shine. A gap appeared in his stomach. He took out a big wooden bucket, which was almost two meters high. Bang! He placed the bucket on the ground. Then he opened the lid of the bucket, which was full of dog blood with its unpleasant smell.
Ding! "The Ten-Millennium-Dog-Blood is detected! Is the Host going to collect it?" Just at this moment, the System's warning tone echoed in Xu Que's mind.
Xu Que's face darkened and he stared at Buttface.
Ten drops?
You have such a big bucket of dog blood. And you only agree to give me ten drops!
Buttface ignored Xu Que's stare. He took out a thumb-size jade bottle and started to collect the dog blood carefully, leaning on the edge of the bucket. It seemed he really wanted to collect only ten drops for Xu Que.
Damn! Xu Que shouted to the System, "Collect this bucket of dog blood for me without leaving one drop for him!"
"Through calculation, the Host shall spend 100 Acting Tough Points to collect this bucket of dog blood. Is the Host going to proceed?"
"Yes!"
Whoosh!
Instantly, mysterious strength gushed out from Xu Que's body, which picked up the wooden bucket in front of Buttface like an invisible hand. Then the wooden bucket disappeared in a blink of an eye!
Buttface, who was in the middle of collecting dog blood, was stunned on the spot. He even waved his paw in the air in front of him and said in puzzlement, "Where…is my bucket?"
Xu Que nodded his head. "What? Where is the bucket? Buttface, do not try to fool me! You didn't even want to give me ten drops of dog blood?"
Chapter 956: It's Time To Make A Fortune Again!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Howl! "Where is the bucket?" Buttface came to himself and was annoyed immediately. "Crap! I had saved such a big bucket! How could it disappear for nothing? Who? Who did this? Damn! Just step out here! How dare you steal my dog blood in broad daylight? Crap! Step out, and let's have a duel!"
Buttface yelled at the mountains and forests around him.
"What? Someone stole your dog blood? Who did this?" Xu Que asked and pretended to be surprised.
"I don't know! Damn! This is so mean! I didn't expect my dog blood would be stolen in this wicked way!" Buttface said angrily.
Xu Que shook his head and consoled Buttface by patting his head, "Forget it! This thief must be quite powerful! The most important thing is that you are OK! So, you are not wounded, right?"
Xu Que's sudden concern shocked Buttface. "I…am OK!"
"OK, I'm happy to hear that. Buttface, Money comes and goes. The most important thing is your safety. Do you understand?" Xu Que said.
Buttface was stunned instantly. Ripples were created in his mind. He said with emotion, "Yes, I know that! Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends! Little brat, it turns out you care about me so much! I misunderstood you before!"
"Alas! Don't mention it. We are old friends. Everything is kept in our hearts! It is not necessary to mention it!" Xu Que said, covering his chest with his hand.
"OK!" Buttface nodded his head with emotion. "What should we do now? When the bucket was stolen, I hadn't collected the dog blood yet. How will we be able to go back? Or…you can try with my blood!"
"No, no, no, that's not necessary! How could I make you bleed? Forget it! I'll find a way to solve this problem! And I certainly will solve it!"
"But…."
"Don't say but! Anyway, I won't wound you or make you bleed!" Xu Que said in a convincing way.
Buttface's eyes were wet with tears. It seemed as if he had finally realized Xu Que was indeed his true friend. His heart was filled with all sorts of emotional feelings.
What a good man!
It turns out I am so important to him! I shouldn't blame his conscienceless acts of the past!
"OK, let me go find other ingredients first! Now, we haven't found the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew. I think it can be found easily. As for the Eternal Black Ash and the Eternal White Ash, what are those things?" Xu Que said, furrowing his eyebrows.
His words shocked Jiang Hongyan. She said in surprise, "The Eternal Black Ash?"
"Yes! Little girl, do you know this thing?�� Xu Que asked.
Jiang Hongyan nodded her head, "In the Xuanzhen Continent, the bones of the dead Celestials are called the Eternal Bones! Could this Eternal Black Ash be the bone ash of the Celestials?"
"What? This name is quite interesting!" Xu Que was surprised. Then he shook his head, "If they are really the bone ash of the Celestials, we'll have a big problem! I don't know whether we can encounter the powerhouses of the Celestial Realm in this area!"
Howl! "We would have to escape from Celestials! How could we get their bone ash?" Buttface said in terror.
Xu Que said with a smile, "Nonsense! We should find the remains of dead Celestials!"
"Dead Celestials? Where could we find them now?" Buttface asked.
"Heh-heh, I will use my old way!" Xu Que replied with a smile.
He took off his shoe as he asked the System to activate his Lucky Aura. Then he read the Eternal Bone Ash in his mind silently as he threw his shoe into the sky. Get directions by throwing a shoe! This was the best method, which was also the most direct and least time-consuming method!
Patter! The shoe fell to the ground after two to three seconds.
Xu Que deactivated his Lucky Aura immediately. When he turned to the shoe, he was shocked by what he saw. The heel of his shoe was stuck into the ground and the toe was pointing at the sky.
"What the hell? What does this mean?" Xu Que was dumbfounded for the result was unexpected.
My shoe could always show me the right directions before. This time, it points at the sky! Could it be that the Eternal Bone Ash is in the sky?
"Little brat, the possible meaning could be 'why don't you find it in the sky'!" Buttface said seriously, touching his jaw.
Xu Que rolled his eyes. Then he started to look at the shoe thoughtfully.
No, I have to try it again!
He clenched his teeth immediately. After upgrading the System, he only had a few hundred thousand Acting Tough Points left. The Lucky Aura would consume too many Acting Tough Points, which would break his heart. However, he had no other choices. In order to go back to the Four Great Continents, he decided to throw out everything he had.
Whoosh!
Instantly, he activated the Lucky Aura again and threw his shoe into the sky once again. In a short while, the shoe landed on the ground again.
This time Xu Que was totally confused. The shoe still landed on its heel. The top was still pointing at the sky. The first time could be a mistake. But he didn't expect the same result on the second time – it was the same as the first time!
Could it be that the bone ash of Celestials is kept in the sky? Damn! Who could do that?
"Holy crap! Little brat, are you really going to find it in the sky?" Buttface shouted in surprise.
Jiang Hongyan was also surprised. She knew Xu Que could find his way by throwing his shoe. However, this time the toe pointed at the sky twice. Apparently, something was wrong!
It meant that if they couldn't find the remains of Celestials in this world, they had to find them in the sky. However, the sky was so immense. To find the bones of dead Celestials in the sky would be more difficult than looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Oh, no, does this mean we can't go back?" Xu Que was quite depressed.
"Brother, don't worry, we still have other ingredients to find. We can find them first. Then maybe we could find a way to search for the bone ash of Celestials in the sky!" Xu Feifei suggested at this time.
She was quite smart and had a good personality. Now, her extraordinary intelligence and clear thinking were revealed. Although her suggestion wouldn't be helpful for Xu Que to find the Eternal Bone Ash, it seemed Xu Que could do nothing else but follow her suggestion now.
Let's find the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew first. Then we will find the bone ash!
"OK! Let me check the position of the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew!" Xu Que nodded his head at last. Then he activated the Lucky Aura and threw out his shoe again.
Patter!
The next moment, the shoe landed on the ground. This time the toe didn't point at the sky, but to the south.
That was also the direction where Mo Mingyuan and the rest of the people had run away.
"Luckily, the flower dew is not in the sky. Or I would spit blood!" Xu Que let out a sigh of relief.
As the name suggested, the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew was flower dew which had existed for 10,000 years. It could only be found in a hidden, desolat, and dark place.
Now that his shoe had pointed out the right direction to take, Xu Que didn't want to waste any time. After making some preparation, they set out. They stepped onto the wooden mountain and kept moving forward.
On the journey, Xu Que threw out his shoe to adjust their southward course from time to time. Two days later, they walked out of the wooden mountain. They were immensely surprised by what they saw under the sun.
In front of them, there was a tall mountain. An enormous and majestic city was built on the mountain. The water in its moat was flowing down like a waterfall. Mist was drifting around the city.
If looked at from afar, this city seemed just like a celestial city.
Howl! "This place is quite extraordinary!" Buttface shouted immediately.
Xu Que frowned slightly for he was a little bit suspicious. According to the guidance of his shoe, he was sure this was the correct direction.
However, shouldn't the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew be kept in a desolate place? How could it appear in a city?
"It seems someone has the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew!" Xu Que shook his head slightly. Then he touched his fringe. A faint smile appeared on his handsome face.
Wherever there are people, there is pleasant surprise!
It is the time to make a fortune of Act Tough Points again!
Chapter 957: It Is None Of My Business!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The city in front of them covered an enormous area, as large as the entire Five Elements Mountain – a city as spacious as the five countries in the Five Elements Mountain! It was unbelievably large!
Xu Que had never seen such a big city before, which immediately provoked his interest. He started to check the city with his Soul Strength. However, he soon realized that his Soul Strength was being blocked by an invisible wall at a place dozens of meters away from the city.
"What? I didn't expect a restrictive spell would be placed here. But…it seems more like the energy of a magnetic field!" Xu Que said in surprise. He got a strange feeling from that restrictive spell. His Soul Strength was ostracized like the repulsion between two like poles in the magnetic field.
"This is interesting!" Xu Que smiled and became more interested in this place.
Buttface walked up to him and said curiously, "Little brat, is the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew in this city? You can just blow this city up, and we can get the flower dew easily!"
Xu Que shook his head, "The restrictive spell in this area is quite weird. I'm afraid the magic arts will be blocked by it! Also, my Soul Strength can't penetrate it. I don't know whether there are powerhouses at the Celestial Realm in this city. We should proceed with caution to avoid alerting possible enemies!"
"What should we do? It is quite difficult for us to go into the city without being noticed by others!" Buttface asked.
Xu Que looked at Jiang Hongyan and said with a smile, "Hongyan, you could stay here with Feifei. I will go into the city and have a look first. After that, I will take you into the city!"
"OK!" Jiang Hongyan nodded her head slightly and urged, "Be careful!"
Xu Feifei opened her mouth but said nothing. Apparently, she too was worrying about Xu Que.
Xu Que waved his hand, "Don't worry! These people are not able to hurt me. If you go with me, I can't take care of all of you!!"
"Holy crap! Little brat, I don't agree with you! I will also go there with you!" Buttface shouted immediately. This activity was so out of character. The only possible reason could be that he wanted to try to steal some food in the city.
Xu Que didn't want to waste his time arguing with Buttface. So he didn't refuse Buttface's request. Anyway, he didn't know the situation in the city. If he encountered a powerful enemy, he could at least use Buttface's tough body as his weapon!
At last, Buttface placed the toy poodle on a tree. Then he left with Xu Que and headed for the big city.
As a cultivator with prophetic vision, Xu Que used the Disguise Puppet to avoid being recognized by others. He turned himself into a guy who had been killed by him before. His aura was quite like that guy's but he changed his appearance a bit. In this way, people would get a feeling that they had met him before.
Then a man and a dog started walking slowly toward the city gates. Two guards were standing at the gates. A lot of soldiers were guarding and patrolling the city walls. The city was heavily guarded. When Xu Que and Buttface appeared in their views, the two guards shouted in loud serious voices, "Where is your entry token?"
"Entry token? I don't have it. I am Sun Piaoliang of the Exploding Heavens Faction, and I can go anywhere!" Xu Que shook his head. Then he said, staring at the guards, "Look at my eyes!"
Whoosh!
Instantly, the two guards were frozen on the spot as if their souls had been extracted. Then they became glassy-eyed gradually.
Flames were flashing in Xu Que's eyes, which had dragged the guards' souls into an illusory realm. Then he waved his hand to take away the entry token from the belt of one guard. After that, Xu Que and Buttface passed the two guards and walked into the city fair and square!
"Holy crap! Little brat, you are awesome! Just tell me how you did that!" Buttface shouted excitedly.
"You'd better shut up, or I will throw you out!" Xu Que said, widening his eyes.
He had to keep a low profile in the city now. He planned to check the average strength of all of the powerhouses in this enormous city and locate the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew.
This city was quite like the cities in the World of Cultivators, which were full of old buildings. The streets were very broad. A lot of people were walking up and down. However, these people were quite powerful. Most of them had reached the Void Training Stage or the Form Synthesis Stage. Sometimes they would also see a powerhouse at the Crossing Calamity Stage. But they never saw a powerhouse at the Great Vehicle Stage in the street.
"Little brat, just get the direction by throwing your shoe!" Buttface urged in a low voice.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows and rolled his eyes, "Are you stupid? There are so many people here! I can't do it in this place! Let's find a remote corner first!"
"We can go there!" Buttface pointed at a remote small alley.
Xu Que turned around and looked at the alley, which was between two big mansions and was quite narrow. Almost nobody could walk into it. However, the vague smell of food could be sensed in that alley. It seemed someone was cooking.
"Damn! You are going to steal food in that alley, right?" Xu Que asked, staring at Buttface. "Just behave yourself in that alley!"
"Don't worry! I am a famous good boy!' Buttface promised, patting his chest.
Xu Que shook his head. Then they sneaked into the small alley, and nobody noticed them. They also hid their aura at the same time. However, just when he was about to take off his shoe, a whisper came from a window in the alley.
"Here you are!" A woman said.
Then a man's deep voice rang out, "Yes!"
"Do you want to do it?"
"Yes!"
Then some swishy-swashy sounds came from the window.
After making eye contact, Xu Que and Buttface's eyes opened wide and they stopped making any noise.
After several breaths, the man asked, "Is it coming?"
The woman said, "Not yet!"
The man said, "Why is it taking so long?"
The woman said, "Oh, oh, it's coming! What about you?"
The man let out a sigh of relief, "It's coming!"
The woman asked, "Again?"
The man said, "No more!"
The woman said, "Come on, let's do it again!"
The man said with a wry smile, "No, I'm done!"
The woman said, "You…."
Bang!
Just at this moment, a loud bang came from the window. It seemed the door of the room had been opened by someone forcibly.
Then the woman's scream could be heard.
"Damn! Bitch, how dare you cheat on me?" A man's angry roar boomed out.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the window beside Xu Que and Buttface was broken and a black figure jumped out. When the black figure landed on the ground, he made eye contact with Xu Que and Buttface. He was dumbfounded.
Xu Que found the guy in front of him was a handsome man. His clothes were in disarray. Apparently, he was in such a hurry to get out that he didn't even have time to get dressed properly.
The man looked at Xu Que and Buttface, furrowing his eyebrows. However, he didn't stay there for long. He dashed deep down into the alley and disappeared.
"Freeze!"
A sonorous roar came from the window at this time. A strongly built man appeared in the window. He stared at Xu Que and shouted angrily, "What a toy boy! How dare you touch my woman? Just die!"
Holy crap!
Xu Que opened his eyes very wide.
It's none of my business!
I am not the adulterer!
"What?" Suddenly, the strongly built man saw Buttface, who appeared to stun him a bit.
"You…you…."
His body trembled a bit as if he had discovered something unbelievable. Then he was totally annoyed and started to yell angrily, "What the hell? Bitch! You committed adultery with a toy boy! I didn't expect you would even do it with a dog! Today I will clean my house by killing both of you!"

"Crap!"
Buttface was immediately annoyed. He was about to dash toward the strongly built man, showing his teeth. Xu Que dragged him back with great difficulty. Then Buttface roared angrily, "What do you mean? Don't you have eyes? I am not a dog! I am a wolf!"
"A talking dog! Humph! You are seeking death!" The strongly built man snorted as metal layers appeared on his arms. Then he dashed toward the window with a killing intent.
"Screw you! Come on and let me smash you to death with my fist!" Buttface talked tough as he stayed behind Xu Que.
Boom!
At the same time, the strongly built man attacked with his fists, which seemed to distort the void around them.
Standing there with his hands behind his back, Xu Que said with a faint smile as he shook his head, "You are too slow!"
Patter!
Along with this crisp sound, the strongly built man's killing punch was blocked by Xu Que's palm.
"What?" Instantly, the strongly built man's expression changed, registering disbelief. He had thrown out his fist angrily just now so it was very powerful. However, he certainly didn't expect that his attack would be blocked so easily by Xu Que. The most important point that confused him was that he didn't see Xu Que's defensive move at all! One second ago, he was standing there with his hands behind his back. The next moment, he had blocked an attack!
The strongly built man, who had broken out in a cold sweat, asked in a trembling voice, "Who...who are you? No young man in First Realm City could be as powerful as you are!"
"It doesn't matter who I am. The point is that your woman's adulterer is not me! That man dressed in black has run away in that direction!" Xu Que replied with a faint smile.
The strongly built man realized that this young man was not the adulterer he had seen just now because his figure and clothes were totally different. Moreover, this young man was so powerful. If he was really the adulterer, he didn't need to run away in a hurry. At the thought of this, the strongly built man turned pale. He folded his hands and said to Xu Que, "Sorry, I was too reckless just now!"
"It's OK! When something like this happens, everyone can be reckless!" Xu Que grinned, and the man saw his white, straight teeth.
"Alas! This is really a scandal for my family. Thank you for your understanding!" The strongly built man said and bowed in apology to Xu Que again.
"You are welcome!" Xu Que replied politely.
However, before the strongly built man had time to say anything else, Xu Que said perplexedly, "However...I could forgive your recklessness just now, but you scared my pet! Let's talk about this issue! Look, he is so scared that he even lost some weight! I'm afraid he will need a lot of nourishment for his recovery!"
"...." The strongly built man was speechless after hearing Xu Que's words. When he saw the chubby Buttface who was hiding behind Xu Que, he couldn't help but smile. He had never seen such a fat dog before! How could this guy say his dog had lost weight after getting frightened? Apparently, he is trying to fool me!
"Eh...I don't know what kind of compensation you need." The strongly built man decided to compromise. He knew clearly that he couldn't rival Xu Que in fighting. So he decided not to provoke such a formidable enemy.
Xu Que replied with a smile, "I don't want anything special. Several buckets of the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew are fine for me!"
"What? "The...the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew?" Hearing this, the strongly built man almost spat blood on the spot.
Are you kidding me?
The Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew?
It is even more expensive than me!
Also, you said you wanted several buckets of it! Why didn't you just ask me to give you the Moon?
"What? You don't have several buckets of Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew? Then how dare you attack me just now?" Xu Que asked arrogantly. Since he couldn't fool the man, he would use extortion directly.
The strongly built man said desperately, "So, are you going to invent challenges for me? Everyone in the First Realm knows only the Dong Family is able to extract and store the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew. Each drop of this flower dew is extremely precious! How could an ordinary person like me have it?"
"The Dong Family?" Xu Que was shocked by his reply. Then he furrowed his eyebrows. This was the second time he had heard of the Dong Family. When he had used his pressure, the others thought he was using some treasures of the Dong Family and tried to rob them from him. Now, the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew was also related to the Dong Family! Apparently, this Dong Family was quite extraordinary in this area.
"What? My lord, is...is this the first time you have come to First Realm City?" The strongly built man asked when he sensed something was wrong.
Xu Que didn't reply and just looked at the strongly built man with a faint smile.
The strongly built man said immediately, "Let me give you a brief introduction. The Dong Family is the largest family in First Realm City. They have countless chambers of commerce and numerous underground markets under their control. You can say that First Realm City is completely controlled by the Dong Family!"
"Oh, what else?" Xu Que asked calmly.
The strongly built man continued his introduction, "All places which could generate the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew in this area are forbidden places that belong to the Dong Family. They have special methods to extract and store the flower dew. Therefore, the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew has been basically monopolized by the Dong Family!"
"I know! Just tell me something I don't know!" Xu Que shook his head.
The strongly built man had to hold back the curse words he wanted to lob at Xu Que.
Did you really know that?
You know nothing! Why are you still acting tough?
"Eh...eh, my lord, please tell me what do you want to know!"
"I have been quite straightforward. Do you expect me to rush into the Dong Family to rob the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew?" Xu Que said with a smile.
The strongly built man's expression changed once again and he said hurriedly, "My lord, you should never do that! As far as I know, there are several powerhouses in the Dong Family who are Supreme Silver Warriors and have reached the Senior Silver Level. An old man of this family has even become a Gold Warrior!"
The Silver Warrior? The Gold Warrior?
Xu Que was almost amused by these terms.
Are these terms from the Saint Seiya?
"My lord!" The strongly built man said seriously in a low voice at this time, "If you want the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew, I know a good way to obtain it fair and square!"
"Oh? Tell me!" Xu Que raised his eyebrows.
"The heiress of the Dong Family will hold a banquet in the city tonight. Although it is only a banquet, it is used to choose a husband for the heiress of this family! Only young and powerful people are allowed to attend this banquet. My lord, you are young and powerful. If you could impress that heiress, you could obtain the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew easily!" After saying that, the strongly built man looked at Xu Que thoughtfully and winked at him.
Xu Que snorted coldly. "Behave yourself! What do you mean by saying that? Am I a person who would perform sexual favors to obtain Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew? Humph! I, Xu Que, will never do something like that!"
"My lord, please forgive me! I...I just spoke about it thoughtlessly. Please forgive my rudeness!" The strongly built man was shocked and apologized hurriedly. He had thought Xu Que was a shameless person. After all, he could remember Xu Que's shameless face clearly trying to extort him. He didn't expect that this guy had integrity and a bottom line and didn't want to do shameless things.
"OK, since you said that out of good intentions, I will forgive you!" Xu Que waved his hands generously.
The strongly built man let out a sigh of relief and thought he had been quite lucky this time.
Then Xu Que asked, "By the way, when does the banquet start tonight? Do I need an invitation letter? Hey! Why are you looking at me in this way? Don't tell me you think I will attend this banquet! Damn! Are you a psycho? I am not that kind of person! It is just a casual question!"
…..
Chapter 959: What An Honest Man!

A casual question?
I don't believe you, for this is definitely not an attitude toward a casual question!
The strongly built man's lips twitched nervously. He knew he would be killed by this young man instantly if he refused to answer the question.
"My lord, an invitation is definitely needed for the banquet. However, a married man who is over 50 will never receive an invitation!" The strongly built man replied hurriedly.
Xu Que frowned. Does it mean I have to get an invitation first? This is so troublesome! I should just rush in and get what I want!
At this time, the strongly built man said, "Lord Wang, who lives next door is also an excellent young man who is still single. I bet he has received an invitation. Our relationship is pretty good. Maybe I can ask him for an invitation!"
"OK!" Xu Que replied. ( .c om )
The strongly built man knew what Xu Que was thinking. He cursed Xu Que's shamelessness. Then he said with a smile, "My lord, I will go and see if I can get it for you now!"
After saying that, he bowed to Xu Que. Then he turned around and shouted at his wife through the window, "You, just stay in the room and I'll punish you when I come back!" After that, the strongly built man walked out of the alley and entered the yard of his neighbor.
At this time, Xu Que happened to see the strongly built man's wife. She was quite beautiful. That was certainly why an adulterer would take the risk of carrying on a clandestine love affair with her. It seemed the woman sensed Xu Que was watching her, because she looked up and peeped at Xu Que. She was surprised by what she saw. Then she blushed and a charming shyness appeared on her face. She smiled at Xu Que shyly and coquettishly.
Holy crap! Xu Que couldn't keep calm anymore. This woman is poisonous!
Her adultery has just been discovered by her husband. How could she try to seduce me in such a forthright way? No! I have to punish this woman for her husband!
As he thought of this, Xu Que rolled up his sleeves and was about to climb into the room through the window.
"My lord!" Suddenly, the strongly built man's voice could be heard.
Xu Que stopped his movement immediately. Then he turned around gracefully and asked with a faint smile, "What?"
The strongly built man came in hurriedly with an invitation in his hand. He said delightedly, "I was quite lucky! Here is your invitation!"
"Wow! It seems you are quite popular here. I didn't expect you could get such a precious invitation so easily!" Xu Que, who was surprised, responded with a smile.
The strongly built man shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I… I'll have to pay a price for it. Lord Wang knows he is not good enough. Even if he attends the banquet, he knows he will never be the winner!"
"Heh, heh, you mean I…I am overconfident and headstrong, right?" Xu Que said with a cold smile.
The strongly built man changed his expression abruptly. He said hurriedly, "My lord, please don't get me wrong! This is definitely not what I meant! I…I was only talking about Lord Wang! I…."
"OK, OK, stop your nonsense! Do I look like a mean person?" Xu Que said with a smile as he received the invitation from the strongly built man. At this time, Xu Que found a note that was also in the envelope with the invitation that the strongly built man had given him.
"Wait, what's this?" Xu Que asked curiously.
The strongly built man was stunned a bit. Then he said with a wry smile, "My lord, Lord Wang asked me to give this note to my wife. I've read it. It seems he needs a little help from my wife! However, it is quite weird what it means; why this job has 12 in this night!" As the strongly built man was talking, he opened the note and looked at the characters with puzzlement. However, it seemed like he didn't take it seriously.
Xu Que also glanced at the note casually.
A line of small characters were written on the note—"Job below have 12 tonight!"
"Holy crap!" Xu Que shouted in surprise as his eyes widened.
Damn! It is a simple coded language. Why can't this man figure it out? He even delivered the message for them!
"My lord, what's wrong?" The strongly built man was shocked by Xu Que's reaction, so he asked in surprise.
Xu Que shook his head and his face was full of sympathy.
Apparently, this strongly built man is an honest guy!
"Little brat, what's going on?" Buttface walked up and asked curiously.
Xu Que glanced at Buttface. This dog is not honest but stupid! ( .c om )
He ignored Buttface's question. Then, he turned to the strongly built man and said sympathetically, "How many times has he asked you to deliver this kind of note?"
"Eh, they always ask their servants to deliver this kind of note before. This time I just took it back because it was convenient! My lord, what's wrong with it? Is there something wrong with this note?" The strongly built man asked curiously.
Xu Que replied with a wry smile, "Don���t you find this note is quite weird? It is quite simple. Why can't you figure it out?"
"Ah?" The strongly built man was dumbfounded. Then he read the note carefully several times, but he failed to figure out the hidden meaning in it.
"Ah?" Buttface also asked foolishly.
Xu Que suggested calmly, "Try to read it from the other end!"
"From the other end?"
The strongly built man nodded his head in surprise. Then he read the note again, "Tonight 12 have…."
"Below job…blowjob?" Buttface added the last two words.
Instantly, the strongly built man was stunned. He stood motionless on the spot. Then his body started to tremble a bit. A cloud of magnificent kill intent gushed out. Apparently, he had figured out the hidden meaning of this note at last. If the note was read from the other end, the meaning was "I want to have a blowjob at 12 tonight!" These shameless words had driven the man crazy. He never expected the adulterer would be Lord Wang, who lived so close to him and had had a pretty good relationship with him for so many years!
"This is…impossible! The one who ran out just now didn't look like Lord Wang at all!" The strongly built man said in disbelief.
Xu Que shook his head and said nothing.
Buttface shouted honestly, "Holy crap! This means your wife has more than one person who she commits adultery with!"
"What?" The strongly built man was totally shocked. His eyes opened wide, full of anger and sadness. It seemed he was quite anxious to kill someone!
"Bitch! Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!"
Boom!
Then the strongly built man rushed into the room and grabbed the woman as he roared angrily, "Tell me, how many lovers do you have? How many men have you seduced?"
"I…I…." The woman was in a panic. She started to look around and finally fixed her eyes on Xu Que and she pointed at him.
Holy crap!
Is she going to frame me?
Xu Que gasped immediately. Then he shouted, before the woman had time to say anything, "Honest man, I have a pretty fair idea! Since it has already happened, I hope you can calm down and don't blame her…."
Xu Que paused a bit at this time. The strongly built man and his woman turned to Xu Que at this time. Leaving them with eyes wide open with shock, Xu Que turned around and left with Buttface after uttering three words to them―"Just kill her!"
