At this moment, the remaining 500,000-plus celestial soldiers no longer posed a threat to Xu Que.
With aggressive offensive moves and a physique strengthened by the God of Hell’s Compulsion, he was extremely powerful now.
It seemed the one million celestial soldiers were quite overbearing. However, they were made from thunder. Therefore, their strength was quite limited. In front of Xu Que, a man that had all kinds of cheating devices, these celestial soldiers could only heave regretful sighs.
Rumble–!
Because of Xu Que’s successful provocation, the remaining 500,000-plus celestial soldiers rushed out simultaneously and charged Xu Que with limitless silver light and lightning.
From a distance, these celestial soldiers appeared to be thickly-dotted silver meteors pouring down from the sky. Xu Que had nowhere to hide.
Xu Que raised his hands again. An ancient but domineering aura came out from his body.
Boom!
The void twisted again. The Spiritual Qi in the Celestial Burial Valley gushed out like a tsunami. A Dragon & Elephant seal composed of converged thunder took shape. Its killing aura was twice as much as the previous one.
Buttface had been chased to the edge of the spell. He shouted, “Little brat, the plan worked. I’ve lured them here. Now open the spell, quick!”
A plan? You lured them here?
Hearing that, those who were chasing Buttface stopped immediately and started to look at the sky vigilantly.
However, Xu Que just ignored Buttface and continued to attentively create the Heavenly Thunder Seal with his fingers.
He knew Buttface’s physique was extremely strong, and no one could kill him. Therefore, he didn’t want to give a response to Buttface. As for the plan to lure the pursuers here, that was nothing but Buttface’s bluff.
Boom!
A big bang suddenly came from the Myriad Flames Incinerate Ghosts Spell. An opening appeared on that colorful light screen.
Whoosh! Buttface dashed in, unscratched.
“That was close!” Buttface howled. “Damn! Little brat, you ignored my cry for help! Luckily, I could escape because I am good at spells. Otherwise, I would die young in this place!”
Xu Que was surprised. Indeed, Buttface used to say he was good at spells, but this unreliable dog had never shown off his skills. This time he’d managed to open and rush inside an Expert Spell quietly, which surprised Xu Que quite a lot.
At the same time, the chasers outside the spell realized they had been cheated and became quite furious.
Several powerhouses started shouting:
“What a cunning dog! This is outrageous!”
“Attack the spell! It was just slashed by the Heavenly Tribulation. Now it’s going to crash and collapse!”
“Charge!”
Everyone else also started attacking the spell.
Rumble!
Countless magic arts turned into a cloud of magic energy, which smashed on the light screen of the spell abruptly. The ground started to shake.
Crack!
A crisp sound came in. The light screen started cracking and a lot of fractures appeared like a cobweb.
“Oh, no! Retreat now!” Behind them, something occurred to Liu Jingning suddenly. She hurriedly delivered messages to the people of her faction.
The Elders of the Utopia Faction also planned to chase Buttface. After hearing Liu Jingning’s words, they couldn’t help but frown.
“Holy Virgin, what do you mean? That dog might have the Celestial Emperor’s Arts!”
“No matter how good the relationship between you and this dog or that guy is,” an Elder said with furrowed brows, “if we don’t grab those arts, they will also be robbed by others!”
In strength, they might have been as powerful as Liu Jingning. In status, they were slightly inferior to her.
Now Liu Jingning urged them to retreat. Although they wouldn’t step back, they couldn’t completely ignore the words of their Holy Virgin!
“Heh, you really believe that guy set up the spell without leaving room for maneuver, right? If you want to die, just go with them and I won’t stop you!” Liu Jingning smiled coldly, then she stomped the ground slightly and flew back elegantly to stay away from the area.
The Elders were slightly stunned. After staring at each other for a while, they chose to ignore the temptation of the Celestial Emperor’s Arts by jumping into the air and leading their underlings to retreat together with Liu Jingning.
On the other side, people of the Carefree Building had already rushed out.
When Dong Genji saw how Buttface remained unscratched after being attacked by Bai Lingrui, he was the first one to rush out and chase Buttface.
Several geniuses of the Carefree Building behind him were also following closely. Now they stood in front of the spell together with people from the other big families and sects.
With their participation, the crumbling light screen of the Myriad Flames Incinerate Ghosts Spell shattered at last. The next moment, they collided head-on with the blast of a horrible heatwave.
The boundless sea of black flames surrounded them immediately!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Over 100 explosive sounds came in one after another. Some cultivators whose cultivation levels were lower than the Original Infant Stage exploded into clumps of blood mist and disappeared even before they had time to scream.
“These flames are quite powerful! Everyone, take care!” Jiang Yushu, the Grand Elder of the Jiang Family said, taking out a defensive magic artifact and holding it in front of himself.
Everyone else became grimly serious. When they were outside the spell, they had sensed the uniqueness of those black flames. When they broke the light screen and entered the spell, they found the flames were extremely horrible and the power had gone beyond their imagination—it could kill cultivators whose cultivation level were lower than the Original Infant Stage instantly!
“Hah-hah, you stupid humans,” Buttface sneered excitedly, standing behind the flames. “I entered through an entrance in the spell. You entered by breaking the light screen forcibly. Now you’ve put your heads in nooses.”
However, the cultivators in the spell couldn’t see Buttface for they were trapped in the spell and could only see the endless sea of black flames around them. This was something like a mirage, but it was not an actual mirage for they were trapped in the spell and surrounded by the world of the spell.
Only people w outside the spell could make a general, objective observation about it.
“No wonder it’s an Expert Spell! They were trapped the moment they stepped into it. It seems they can’t break the spell in a short period of time. Let’s just have a look first!” People from the Utopia Faction around 10 kilometers away had stopped on a mountain to observe the situation outside the Celestial Burial Valley. One powerhouse still didn’t want to give up and planned to observe the situation.
Liu Jingning was concerned about Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan. Therefore, she didn’t leave but chose to stand aside silently. Hearing the words of that powerhouse, she started to smile coldly.
Her knowledge about Xu Que’s tactics was much better than that of anyone else. Xu Que had prepared over 100 fire lotuses and put them in storage rings last night. That thought would forever freeze Liu Jingning’s blood.
At this moment, the powerhouses of the big families and sects took out their defensive artifacts. All of them had reached the summit of the Void Training Stage. With the assistance of the defensive artifacts and their powerful strength, they were no longer threatened by the sea of black flames. Therefore, they started to find ways to get out of the spell.
“Miss Han Ying of the Heaven Secret Pavilion, please come into the spell and tell us the way to get outl!” Dong Genji shouted abruptly.
The rest of the people also realized that only those of the Heaven Secret Pavilion were good at spells. Now they needed to ask Han Ying, the Holy Virgin of the Heaven Secret Pavilion, to help them.
When they started to search for Han Ying after hearing Dong Genji’s words, they found she was not in the spell.
All at once, many people felt upset for they knew the Heaven Secret Pavilion was always cautious, and never took risks when they sensed danger. Now they didn’t find one apprentice of the Heaven Secret Pavilion in the spell. Could it be that . . . ?
“Little brat,” Buttface howled, “they are in the spell now! You just eliminate those celestial soldiers and come here to help me!” He was now outside the spell.
He was temporarily safe. However, he was quite anxious for the sea of flames in the spell couldn’t hold those cultivators for a long time.
Rumble!
A cloud of dazzling silver light burst forth in the sky again.
The second Heavenly Thunder Seal created by Xu Que crushed over 300,000 celestial soldiers—it was very horrible.
However, the remaining 200,000-plus celestial soldiers, which were not hit by the Heavenly Thunder Seal, all charged at Xu Que. Their long spears made from sliver lightning came at Xu Que from all directions.
Puff! Xu Que was blown off and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Meanwhile, it seemed a lot of shiny items fell out from his body toward the cultivators in the sea of flames.
“Those are . . . storage rings!” someone shouted ecstatically when he looked up and saw this scene.
After that, everyone rejoiced with wild excitement.
Those are storage rings dropped by that guy. The Celestial Emperor’s Arts could be stored in those rings!
“Stop! Those are my storage rings! I will kill anyone who dares rob my storage rings! Ah!” Xu Que’s gut-wrenching voice came in from the sky He was distressed by the loss of his precious treasures!
