Chapter 1081: We Live Together and Die at the Same Time!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As a cultivator at Level 6 of the Great Vehicle Stage, Xu Que had sensed a great growth of his strength compared to what he had had at the Crossing Calamity Stage! This was the last threshold to the Half Celestial Realm. Cultivators at this stage would focus on accumulating their strength as they were about to cross this threshold. They used to call cultivators at the Half Celestial Realm Celestials.
However, Bai Cailing, the Holy Virgin of the Jade Lake, told Xu Que that the name of Celestials was incorrect! Cultivators at the Half Celestial Realm, the Human Celestial Realm, or the Earth Celestial Realm were not real Celestials. Real Celestials had to be immortal, which was still impossible for people in the World of Near Celestials!
Undeniably, cultivators at the Half Celestial Realm or higher stages were much more powerful than cultivators at the Form Synthesis Stage, Crossing Calamity Stage, and even the Great Vehicle Stage.
Xu Que could kill cultivators at the Half Celestial Realm when he was at Level 5 of the Crossing Calamity Stage because he had the Firestorm Wheels and the broken sword, which filled the gaps of his cultivation stage! However, when Xu Que was attacked by a lot of cultivators from the Half Celestial Realm at the same time, he had to turn around and escape!
Now, as a cultivator at Level 6 of the Great Vehicle Stage, Xu Que knew he was much more powerful than before. However, without the assistance of the Firestorm Wheels and the broken sword, he could only rival one cultivator at the Half Celestial Realm with his magic arts. And he could possibly be defeated by two or three cultivators at the Half Celestial Realm. Apparently, it was getting more and more difficult for him to kill enemies whose cultivation stage was much higher than his!
But…the situation would be different if he used his equipment! With the help of the Firestorm Wheels and the broken sword strengthened by the Sword Spirit, he was invincible in front all of all cultivators whose cultivation stage was lower than the Human Celestial Realm!
“Humph! When I finish dealing with this woman, I will go out and act tough at will!”
At this moment, Xu Que was approaching the palace silently. He squinted his eyes and started to look at the ice coffin. Although his real body had been immersed in cultivation for the past year, his Little Gold Clone had kept observing the Mind Sense of the woman. At the beginning, he didn’t believe the Sword Spirit’s words and thought that the woman couldn’t do anything outrageous!
One year later, Xu Que found 500 years of his life-span had disappeared. The point was that he didn’t sense that the woman was stealing his life-span. His appearance was not changed. It was just like a slow poison that was eroding him gradually. Luckily, he had added over 2,000 years of life-span with the Ancient Life and Death Wheel. Otherwise, he would have died if he had only had 200 years of life-span at the beginning.
She is so ferocious! Her evil nature can’t be sensed through her appearance! Today, I must teach her a lesson! Xu Que thought, with hatred in his heart.
Even now he was no match for that woman, but he was not worried at all. The Void Interface Point had been established; he could escape with the Space- Breaking Spell at any time. Without any menace from the rear, Xu Que would definitely seek revenge against the woman.
“What are you going to do?” The Sword Spirit asked, sending him a message. The Sword Spirit disapproved of his revenge plan. First, the strength gap was too large. It was very difficult for Xu Que to inflict heavy losses on that woman. Second, he should leave now. When he was powerful enough, he would find his opportunity to avenge himself in the future.
“Even if I can’t kill her, I will do something to disgust and annoy her!” Xu Que said with a cold smile. This had been his style for many years. He would seek revenge on the spot. If he couldn’t do it immediately, he would prepare a revenge plan. Anyway, he would try it!
As the saying goes, without trying it, how will you know the feeling of despair?
Xu Que could always try to seek revenge as long as there was a glimmer of hope. Nobody could be meaner than him!
Whoosh!
At last, Xu Que launched his attack! The palace and the ice coffin were very quiet and peaceful at this moment. Xu Que turned himself into a shadow and crossed the suspension bridge silently. Then he sneaked to the gate of the palace like an assassin. The next moment, he took out a storage ring and fixed it on the wall with glue. After that, he walked forward and glued another storage ring on the wall. In this way, Xu Que glued a lot of storage rings on the walls of the palace.
“Heh, heh, the first step is done!” Xu Que said with a smile. Then he started to peer at the main entrance of the palace. The ice coffin was still quiet. He waved his hand to take out several Spell Disks. Then he placed them at the gateway of the palace carefully.
Chi!
When Xu Que arrived at the center of the palace, dazzling light appeared in the ice coffin together with a cloud of magnificent pressure.
“Hey! Master! You have woken up!” Xu Que stood up straight and spoke with a smile.
Meanwhile, a progress bar, which was loading slowly, appeared in front of his eyes. A cloud of magnificent True Core Strength also gushed out from his body.
The Spiritual Qi around the ice coffin formed an illusionary body at this time, which fixed its eyes on Xu Que directly.
“I asked you to perform cultivation. Why are you here?” The woman asked coldly.
Xu Que fixed his eyes on the progress bar, which had reached 12 percent.
He replied with a smile, “Master, I’m worried that all my life-span will be drained by you if I continue my cultivation! I will die soon. So I have come to you to ask for some life-span back!”
Hearing that, the woman was stunned a bit. It seemed as if she didn’t expect Xu Que could find that out.
Soon, she said with chilliness flashing in her eyes, “I allow you to perform cultivation in such a precious place. Why can’t I borrow some life-span from you? Anyway, you should focus on cultivation. And I won’t suck up your life-span!”
“Wow! I thought you might play dumb first. I didn’t expect you could admit that directly!” Xu Que said as he shook his head seriously, “But…I hate those who grab my things without my permission! You sucked out over 5,000 years of life-span from me. Let’s settle this account now!”
Over 5,000 years of life-span?
The woman’s eyes got wide immediately. She had just sucked out 500 years of life-span secretly. How could this guy extort her by increasing the value? He is way too shameless! Also, your cultivation stage is so low! How could you have over 5,000 years of life-span?
At the thought of this, the woman said seriously, “Stop your clowning! Just go back and continue your cultivation! Your progress in the past year has been pretty good and even surprised me. However, I hoped you could reach the summit of the Great Vehicle Stage within six months. One year later, you should reach the Half Celestial Realm!”
“Reach the Half Celestial Realm after one year? Heh, heh, do you really think I am a God? If I fail to reach the Half Celestial Realm, what will you do?” Xu Que said with an emboldened smile. He knew he could definitely reach the Half Celestial Realm after one year.
However, he had stayed here for one year. Ten years had passed by in the outside world. He was worried about his teammates. After all, when he was caught in this place, there were still cultivators of the Half Celestial Realm in other deathtraps!
If he stayed here for another year, 20 years would pass by in the outside world, which was not acceptable for him!
“One year more, if you can’t reach the Half Celestial Realm, you will be useless to me! At that time…” the woman’s voice became cold suddenly. Then she continued to say as she stared at Xu Que, “At that time, you will die!”
“Die?”
Xu Que paused a bit as he fixed his eyes on the loading progress bar, which had reached 98.2 percent!
98.5 percent…
98.9 percent…
99.3 percent…
99.8 percent…
100 percent!
Ding! “Congratulations to the Host in obtaining a Best-grade Celestial Artifact [Time Shuttle]!”
Along with the System’s warning tone, Xu Que said with a shiny smile, “I will never die! As for you, I’m afraid my Master will stay here till her death!”
The next moment, Xu Que attacked with his palm abruptly.
Rumble!
His violent strength created a gust of wild wind, which gushed toward the woman. Meanwhile, Xu Que ran out of the palace instantly stepping on the Firestorm Wheels! Almost at the same time, all the Spell Disks he had placed in the palace were activated one after another!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The entrance of the palace was sealed by thickly dotted dazzling spell barriers! All those things happened instantly, and the woman didn’t have time to react. However, the woman had sensed the change in this cave. Her Time Shuttle had disappeared!
“What…did you do?” The woman screamed in disbelief. Then she ran through those spell barriers like a ghost! Although she was powerful enough to ignore those spell Arrays, she was slowed down by them and couldn’t catch up with Xu Que.
Everything had been well planned by Xu Que. Now, he had arrived at the Void Interface Point by stepping on the Firestorm Wheels. Then he took out the Space-Breaking Spell and asked the System to activate it!
“I didn’t expect that you would steal her Time Shuttle! How did you do that?” The Sword Spirit trembled a bit in the broken sword and asked in shock at this time.
“Heh, heh, I can do anything!” Xu Que said with a smile.
“So, that’s why you placed those storage rings outside the palace, right? I couldn’t figure out your intent!” The Sword Spirit said with puzzlement.
“No, those storage rings are for other purposes! I just wanted to annoy her by stealing her Time Shuttle! As for those storage rings, they would not only annoy her, but also disgust her to death!” Xu Que said with a smile.
Patter!
Rumble–!
Instantly, deafening explosions came from the direction of the palace. Over 100 storage rings on the walls exploded at the same time and threw out numerous sticky yellow objects, which were scattered all over and gave off a horrible foul smell.
“I will drive her crazy by exploding these storage rings which were full of excrement! This is the style of our Buttface!” Xu Que said with a calm smile as he turned around slowly.
While the Sword Spirit was dumbfounded, Xu Que had dashed into the Void Gap with the broken sword in his hand and the Firestorm Wheels under his feet!
Boom!
When the figure and aura of Xu Que and the Sword Spirit had just disappeared, the Void Gap also closed instantly.
At the same time, the woman also arrived at this empty place. Then, a cloud of horrible kill intent gushed out from her body!
“Xu Que!”
She shouted coldly. Then she waved her slim hand to take out a crystal stone tablet.
“You said you want to inherit the Taiyi Heaven Book! Good! Very good! I will fulfill your wish! From now on, we live together and we will die at the same time!”
Boom!
The next moment, a powerful Taoist Connotation gushed out from the stone tablet and became a ripple which swept out rapidly. At last, two golden names appeared on the stone tablet—Xuanyuan Wanrong and Xu Que!
