CHAPTER 54: CHAPTER 18 YOUNG, HANDSOME, AND PRETENTIOUS_1

BOOM!

RUMBLE RUMBLE!

At this moment, the hidden experts in the Fengyun World erupted simultaneously with earth-shattering, terrifying power.

"Piercing Clouds!"

Emperor of Heaven let out a roar from the huge face condensed in the sky. The firmament thundered loudly, and countless massive ice blades, each at least ten meters long, burst through the clouds, descending upon the world with overwhelming force. The entire land seemed to be covered in ice blades.

"Ten Thousand Path, Sen Luo!"

Thousands of phantoms of experts emerged around Smile Three Times. Each phantom demonstrated exceedingly profound and mysterious ultimate techniques. "Ten Thousand Path, Sen Luo" was a martial art he created by integrating various martial arts classics he had seen throughout his life. It was one of the most exquisite martial arts he had ever researched. This martial art could accommodate various, even mutually exclusive, martial techniques, assimilating them for his own use. The key lay in the Eight Great Pathways: "Heaven, Earth, Odd, Even, Yin, Yang, Life, Destruction."

Heaven’s timing aligns subtly; Earth’s surface transforms into the Nine Palaces; Odd paths traverse the dangers of the Five Elements; the Even path begins with the harsh north wind; Yin forms are indistinct in the early morning gloom; Yang’s might penetrates the deepest twilight; Life’s domains harbor lingering destinies; in world annihilation, I reign supreme.

It embodied the ways of the world, encompassing all, integrating them into a force of apocalyptic power. This martial art was also capable of using thought as a blade, manipulating and controlling hearts and minds, ensuring obedience, and conjuring illusions to disrupt an opponent’s intellect. Together with his other created ultimate technique—Four Ultimate Skills of the Chaos Celestials—it was considered one of the strongest ultimate techniques in the Fengyun World, its might earth-shattering and terrifying beyond compare!

The Immortal God’s aura was horrifying. His left hand turned into a sword, cleaving heaven and earth, while his right hand became a knife, sweeping across the universe. A sword and a knife, two phantoms hundreds of meters long, merged into a cross slash, striking directly at Xiong Ba with the power to cleave the heavens and split the earth.

The First Evil Emperor performed the Demonic Knife.

"Demon Qi Crossing"

"Demonic Path Rampant"

...

"Extreme Demonic Passion Slaughter"

"Demons Dancing Chaotically"

Each wave of knife energy was unparalleled, sharp enough to slice through metal and jade, sweeping across heaven and earth, leaving the land scarred and crossed with knife wounds.

Second Knife Emperor’s "Seven Decisive Heart Break Heart Act."

"Heartless Heaven and Earth"

He could use anything in heaven and earth as a knife, imbued with the knife intent of love-hate and the severance of emotions.

"Furious Slash of Love Threads"

"Love Ends with a Sword"

"Indiscriminate Killing"

...

The Third Pig Emperor unleashed his Creation Knife.

The knife is created as the intent wills.

Intent is created as the heart desires.

The heart is created as I desire.

Creation is the knife.

The knife is creation.

Creating heaven, splitting earth.

...

Attack after attack unfurled like a reversed celestial river, terrifying knife energy tearing through the skies, splitting open heaven and earth.

Xiong Ba’s aura surged. The Three-element Immortal Scriptures activated, and the three forces of Wind, Cloud, and Frost converged. His formidable aura, like that of a god or a demon, shook the heavens and moved the earth!

He stretched out his right hand. The three natural forces of Wind, Cloud, and Frost converged at his fingertips, unleashing the might of the Great Heavenly Prisoner Finger!

"One Finger Imprisons Heaven and Earth!"

With one finger descending, he shattered the attacks of Smile Three Times, Emperor of Heaven, and the others.

Everyone was shocked. A sense of fear emerged in their hearts.

"Two Fingers Shatter Mountains and Rivers!"

Without pause, Xiong Ba’s second finger descended.

"Emperor Tian Wild Thunder!"

Emperor of Heaven’s complexion drastically changed. The Saint Heart Scripture operated at overcapacity, and purple-white thunderbolts appeared in the sky. Countless purple-white thunderbolts roamed the firmament, turning the entire sky into a terrifying sea of lightning.

RUMBLE RUMBLE!

Countless arm-thick purple-white thunderbolts fell from the sky, ceaselessly bombarding the terrifyingly huge finger from Xiong Ba, which was even larger than mountains.

"Four Ultimate Skills of the Chaos Celestials!"

Smile Three Times gave it his all, unleashing another of his created ultimate techniques. In an instant, his dragon-turtle essence blood boiled, and thick, black, twisted meridians became prominent on the surface of his body, ferocious beyond compare. His entire presence surged mightily, as if an ancient god or demon had descended upon the world, his domineering might suppressing everything in all directions!

Within the void, forces of wind, fire, thunder, and rain suddenly appeared, and these four forces surged into Smile Three Times’s body. With one hand, he wielded the Obscuring Heaven Fire, which spread like a wildfire. With the other, he summoned the Overlord Thunder, unleashing a five-thunder strike. One foot stomped, conjuring terrifying waves, while the other trod upon the Nine Heavens Mysterious Wind. He descended like lightning, furiously bombarding the colossal, sky-covering finger.

Thunder startled the heavens, massive waves surged, hurricanes howled, and flames scorched the firmament! The four natural forces swept across heaven and earth, intertwining in the void. Thunder fused with fire, and wind enhanced the power of rain, creating a terrifying force of destruction.

"Heavenly Extremes Maha Boundless!"

The Immortal God was no longer just going through the motions and unleashed his most powerful trump card. "Maha" signifies "immeasurably great." "Maha Boundless" refers to something infinitely great. Wind is Without Form, Cloud is Impermanent. When Wind and Cloud combine, they are formless and impermanent, their power infinite. He had created "Heavenly Extremes Maha Boundless," which expounded upon the ultimate yang aspect of the Wind and Cloud forces.

His former wife, the Demon Lord—Bai Suzhen—based on his Heavenly Extremes Maha Boundless, had also created Earth Level Infinite Moko, which expounded upon the ultimate yin aspect of the Wind and Cloud forces. If the two of them joined forces, they would have few rivals in the world. Unfortunately, due to his wife’s exceptional talent, he felt threatened and consequently poisoned and plotted against her, leading the two to become enemies.

As Heavenly Extremes Maha Boundless was executed, the Immortal God’s strength exploded by tens of times. His might soared to the heavens, his aura horrifying. He blocked Xiong Ba’s finger.

The weaker Celestial Being martial artists, like the Third Pig Emperor, gave it their all. Various desperate techniques were unleashed, but in the face of absolute power, it was all in vain; they simply couldn’t resist.

SPURT!

Blood splattered. The Third Pig Emperor and other Celestial Being martial artists were killed by Xiong Ba with one finger.

How can he be so strong when he’s still only a Celestial Being?

Smile Three Times, Emperor of Heaven, the Immortal God, and the remaining powerhouses were horrified beyond measure.

Before they could think further, Xiong Ba’s third finger had already descended.

"Three Fingers Annihilate Living Beings!"

Emperor of Heaven’s expression changed drastically as he executed the Saint Heart Four Tribulations.

BOOM!

As this finger fell, the First Evil Emperor and Second Knife Emperor were shaken to death. Emperor of Heaven and the Immortal God were blasted away, coughing up blood. Smile Three Times was in a terrible state, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, evidently injured.

It’s over! Xiong Ba has obtained the Evil God’s ultimate technique. He’s just too strong! I’m no match for him. I better keep playing possum!

Emperor of Heaven became afraid, wiped the blood from his mouth, and turned to flee. The Immortal God, on the other hand, fled in the opposite direction.

Seeing his companions escaping, Smile Three Times dared not stay behind. Like the others, he made himself scarce, choosing a direction to flee. The turtle is best at self-preservation. He didn’t want to go all out against Xiong Ba. And he probably wouldn’t have won anyway! Even though he had lived for more than four thousand years, he still didn’t want to die. The older one gets, the more one fears death. The longer one lives, the less one wants to die.

"Trying to escape?"

Xiong Ba’s Three-element Immortal Scriptures activated inside him, all his true energy converging, as he unleashed his strongest move.

"Four Fingers Break the Firmament!"

With one finger, the sky changed color. An aura, as if to shatter the firmament, enveloped the entire Imperial City. A chill shot up from the soles of Emperor of Heaven’s feet straight to his crown; his soul nearly fled his body, cold sweat poured down, and the shadow of death loomed over him.

He couldn’t block this move. He was going to die! He didn’t want to die!

"No, I submit..." Emperor of Heaven shouted in terror.

Between life and death lies the greatest terror. In the face of death, all previous pride and dignity can be cast aside.

However, Xiong Ba let out a cold laugh without paying any heed.

Thinking of submitting now? Too late.

The fourth finger crashed down relentlessly.

"No!"

The piteous voices of Emperor of Heaven and the Immortal God rang out as they were crushed to death by one finger.

After more than four thousand years, life finally comes to an end... Smile Three Times let out a sorrowful laugh, as his life force followed suit and dissipated.

「Elsewhere,」

Sword Saint, using Sword Twenty-Three, paid a heavy price to eradicate Emperor Wenlong.

As such, all the invading Celestial Being powerhouses were completely slaughtered.

PHEW!

Xiong Ba exhaled sharply, letting out a long sigh of relief in his heart, his eyes full of excitement.

It might have seemed like I single-handedly annihilated nearly ten unparalleled experts of the Fengyun World, but I was truly at my limit. My cultivation level was only at the extreme peak for a Celestial Being, about the same as Wu Invincible, Smile Three Times, and Emperor of Heaven. And these people were either exceptional talents of their era or antiquated old-timers. Their ultimate techniques might have been limited by the level of the world and their horizons, but they were nonetheless terrifying. If it were not for my cultivation of the Three-element Immortal Scriptures bestowed by an Upper God, along with the acquisition of Ten Thousand Years of Power, I wouldn’t have been able to execute the fourth strike of the Great Heavenly Prisoner Finger. If I hadn’t been able to execute the fourth finger, I likely wouldn’t have been able to kill Smile Three Times and the others. This battle could be called my peak fight.

CLAP!

CLAP, CLAP, CLAP!

At that moment, a sound of applause slowly arose from afar.

Xiong Ba lifted his head. He looked in the direction of the sound.

A handsome young man was walking towards him through the air with sure steps. The young man had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, his expression spirited. At his waist hung a Precious Sword and a wine gourd. He had the demeanor of a fairy. Dashing and suave. A heartthrob for young women and young wives alike.

Xiong Ba surveyed the handsome young man approaching, comparing him to the characteristics of Alien Demons that Dog Son had described to him in the group chat.

Young!

Handsome!

Powerful!

Previously unknown!

And quite good at showing off!

He found that the young man in front of him fit the bill perfectly.

An Alien Demon? This thought instantly popped into Xiong Ba’s mind.

Xiong Ba was overjoyed. Truly, to wear out iron shoes in a fruitless search, only to find it without any effort at all!

「At the same time,」

Hongmeng and all the members of the chat group also witnessed the handsome young man stepping through the air via the live broadcast.
