Chapter 886: How Do We Even Fight?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
From what they observed from the spell formation, as well as the shapes of the six Heavenly Human Plates, something suddenly dawned on Xu Que. Xu Que was almost sure that this was the real entrance to the Heavenly Human Holy Grounds. Only by activating the spell with the Heavenly Humans Plates would they be able to be transported correctly.
“In that case, doesn’t that mean that we have been lied to by that guy called Tian Cheng? c.r.a.p, I knew it! I’ve long seen through his antics. It’s just that my heart’s too tired to expose him!” b.u.t.tface glared as he boasted in hindsight about his observations.
Xu Que sneered, “He didn’t lie to us. This mountain is indeed their Holy Grounds; it’s just that the way to enter is slightly different. We can’t go over directly!”
“Huh?” b.u.t.tface blurted out, slightly taken aback. His gaze darted around as he put on a strong front, “I already knew that. It’s just that my liver’s also quite tired, so I didn’t want to comment!”
Xu Que rolled his eyes and opted to ignore him.
Jiang Hongyan was also a little surprised. If they missed the restrictive spell and went straight for the back of these mountains, they might have very well wasted their efforts. When they returned, they would most probably not have a second chance to enter.
“Insolence! Who are you people?” shouted several Heavenly Human powerhouses who swept out from upstairs. The huge commotion made by b.u.t.tface in activating the restrictive spell finally attracted the attention of the Heavenly Humans.
“Go!”
Xu Que didn’t waste time answering them. He fished out three Jade Tiles at once and accurately slapped them onto the wall, filling the three holes in the spell formation.
Boom!
A m.u.f.fled bang and the spell formation on the wall began to s.h.i.+ne brilliantly. A flare of white light burst forth, enveloping Xu Que, Jiang Hongyan, and b.u.t.tface, at the same time creating a tremendous suction force.
Ding! “The Random Shapes.h.i.+fting Card has entered the process of shapes.h.i.+fting. The character’s appearance will be changed!”
Ding! “The item has encountered an error due to the influence of the Void. Shapes.h.i.+fting has failed….”
Swoos.h.!.+
As the two system notification sounds ended, a white light flashed across the wall.
Xu Que was stunned. Before he could react, the three of them had vanished from the hall of the Heavenly Human Pavilion.
…
Bam!
After a short pull of the Void, Xu Que felt his sight darken. He found himself in a dimly lit canyon when he finally touched down. Strangely enough, the reason why there was so little light was not that the Skydome was obstructed. The sky above this valley was pitch black, littered with countless stars. It was nighttime!
As the sky stretched for miles and miles, the Skydome began to melt into peaks after peaks of mountains.
Xu Que looked under his feet instinctively. Within a several hundred miles radius, he could see soil and lakes making up the land; however, as the landscape extended into the distance, the area dissolved into an endless stretch of sky, bright with sunlight. It was daytime over there!
“c.r.a.p, this place is too magical! That fellow wasn’t lying. This place has got its nights and days, skies and grounds, all turned around and upside down!” Xu Que exclaimed in surprise, as he had not seen such a mysterious scenery before.
However, he quickly realized that something was amiss. His voice seemed to have returned to being a man’s? Jiang Hongyan and b.u.t.tface looked at him in astonishment at once. Xu Que opened his mouth, but before he could ask anything, a low voice came from afar and cut off his words.
“Hmm? Humans? How did humans enter our Holy Grounds?”
In the darkness, a curt voice scolded after his companion’s voice finished, “Atrocious! Who are you lowly ants? How dare you barge into the Holy Grounds of the Holy Human Tribe!”
Swoos.h.!.+
Swoos.h.!.+
Swoos.h.!.+
At the next moment, three figures swept out. They were the elders of the Heavenly Human Tribe. The scary part was that all three of them were at the peak of the Great Vehicle Stage!
Xu Que’s eyes almost popped out at the newly obtained information, unable to believe his eyes. The foundation of the Heavenly Human Tribe was indeed immeasurably deep!
To think that there could be three more powerhouses at the peak of the Great Vehicle Stage apart from those three, whom he had just lured away!
While every single one of them was weaker than Lord Zeng and would most probably only have a 50 percent chance of beating Qin Wei, the Heavenly Humans were definitely ahead in numbers. If you took into account how deep their foundation was, they might even be on par with the whole of the Imperial Palace!
Xu Que quickly put on the alluring act again and said shyly, “Greetings to everyone, seniors. I am Mai s.h.i.+ranui, and this is…eh? Wait a minute. Why do I hear my voice?”
Xu Que finally caught on with what had happened. His real voice had returned, and he could no longer speak like Mai s.h.i.+ranui.
“What’s going on?” Xu Que frowned and pondered for a moment. His gaze fell at the lake by his feet. From the reflection on the lake’s surface, he finally saw his appearance.
The Shapes.h.i.+fting Card had lost its effect. He had returned to his original appearance.
But…his clothes were not changed back! He was still wearing that red dress of Mai s.h.i.+ranui!
c.r.a.p!
The system screwed up! It truly transformed him into a real cross-dressing trap!
“Scoundrel! How dare you fool us like that!”
“What a true demon of a human!”
“A standing man is wearing women’s clothes! How immoral and shameful!”
The three Heavenly Human elders bellowed all at once.
Displeased and angered by their words, Xu Que yelled back angrily, “It’s none of your business that I wear women’s clothes! By the way, let me inform you that I am the little brother of Mai s.h.i.+ranui – No Reason! It’s my first time here, so if there’s anything I did wrong, why don’t you come up and hit me? Come on. Beat me to death!”
No Reason?
The three Heavenly Human elders looked at each other weirdly.
Were there people who would name their kids No Reason these days?
Also, they had never heard of the surname s.h.i.+ranui!
“Hmph, ignorant ant! Though your name suits you to a tee. No Reason sounds almost the same as No Prudence!” sneered one elder.
Boom!
The next moment, an overwhelming pressure came at them fiercely and forcefully, looming over Xu Que, Jiang Hongyan, and b.u.t.tface.
“Hey, fool! I’m called No Reason to remind you guys not to be unreasonable, lest you guys are too full of yourselves!” Xu Que smiled and suddenly lifted his arm.
He slammed down 40,000-points worth of King of Tough Acting Fist without an ounce of heartache.
Cras.h.!.+
A gigantic golden fist instantly formed in the sky. Blindingly bright, it lit up the whole area. Laced with a murderous aura, it crashed down onto the three elders at the peak of the Great Vehicle Stage.
“Eh?”
“This is bad! Don’t take it straight on!” The three elders paled at once, and their eyes widened in horror. They quickly withdrew toward where they had come from!
The power packed in this fist of Xu Que’s was beyond their imagination. Fear and unsettling feelings began to creep into their hearts. However, it was too late to escape. The enormous golden glow of the Tough Acting Fist bore down like a golden mountain, engulfing the whole area!
The three elders frowned and stopped retreating. They quickly used their Magic Arts as they tried to stop the King of Tough Acting Fist straight on.
Boom!
The golden fist exploded in the mountains, igniting a deafening crash.
At the same time, the three elders at the peak of the Great Vehicle Stage were swept away from those brutal and ravaging heatwaves. They landed on the mountain not far away, their faces green. While they looked worn down and their clothes tattered, they were mostly uninjured. However, Xu Que had most definitely angered them. Almighty and honorable powerhouses at the peak of the Great Vehicle Stage, they were but one step away from the Celestial Stage. To think that a mere junior at the Form Synthesis Stage could make them this pathetic, who wouldn’t be furious?
Therefore, while they were awed by Xu Que’s actual abilities, they just wanted to kill him to release their anger! At their cultivation stage, hardly anyone could make an impression in their eyes. Anybody beneath the Great Vehicle Stage was an ant to them!
“You’re courting death!” One elder snarled loudly.
Just before he could make a move, wave after wave of air breaking sounded from a distance.
Swoos.h.!.+
Swoos.h.!.+
Swoos.h.!.+
The whole valley trembled and shook under the countless rays of immense pressure.
The next second, dozens of silhouettes with white wings fully extended on their backs suddenly emerged from all around. They were all Heavenly Humans at the peak of the Great Vehicle Stage!
“c.r.a.p!”
“c.r.a.p! c.r.a.p!”
Xu Que and b.u.t.tface exclaimed one after another. They almost popped their eyeb.a.l.l.s in shock. What the h.e.l.l was wrong with this Heavenly Human Holy Ground! They hid this many ancestors without the world knowing?
h.e.l.l! With this many powerhouses at the peak of the Great Vehicle Stage, how do they even fight?
“The wheel of life goes round and round, don’t bully the hero just because he’s young! Fight me again in 30 years if you’ve got the guts! We’ll take our leave!” Xu Que yelled determinedly. As he said that, he grabbed the slender waist of Jiang Hongyan and pulled b.u.t.tface up by his head. A lightning bolt shot out under his shoes, and they darted across the sky in an instant.
