Xu Que was both surprised and happy.

He was surprised that the rare Chaotic Green Lotus actually entered into its fourth stage of growth. It was so unexpected that he was caught unaware.

He was happy because he did not need to worry about being deficient in Celestial Core Power. There was so much Celestial Core Power Qi that he couldn’t swallow it, and it would be a pity to throw it away. Now that he had encountered the fourth stage of growth of the Chaotic Green Lotus, it was as if someone sent him a pillow right before he went to sleep. He was elated.

Xu Que was secretly ecstatic. “Haha, very good. Since I can’t swallow it, why don’t I just complete the Chaotic Green Lotus, and even… even make use of this Chaotic Green Lotus to break through to the Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven!”

Every time the Chaotic Green Lotus finished growing, it would provide a piece of Celestial Core Power, which would allow him to break through to the next level of enlightenment.

Even though he didn’t know whether or not he would succeed this time, at least he had a shred of hope.

Otherwise, once he stopped practicing, even passing through the three Heavenly Tribulations would not guarantee that he would be able to break through to the Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven in such a short timeframe.

After all, what he lacked was not the Heavenly Tribulations between the Taiyi Golden Celestial and Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, but the three Heavenly Tribulations that spanned from the peak of the Earth Celestial Stage to the Taiyi Celestial Stage.

Rapidly, Xu Que released a powerful force from within his body, causing a boom sound.

The Dantian in his skeleton, like an accelerator with increased horsepower, was suddenly activated to the extreme. It turned into a bottomless vortex, tearing the surrounding dragon-shaped Celestial Core Power into pieces and crazily engulfing his body.

This sudden change shocked Xuanyuan Wanrong and Buttface, who were outside the palace.

“Sh*t! What’s the matter?” Buttface was so shocked that his eyes almost dropped to the ground in disbelief.

Originally, he had thought that Xu Que would stop cultivating and that Celestial Core Power was about to dissipate. He had never expected that such ferocious adsorption capacity would erupt from Xu Que’s Dantian. It was terrifying.

When entering the Spiritual Eye Mountain, Buttface had told Xu Que that if he was lucky, he might break through to the Taiyi Disbanded Celestial at one go. Now, Xu Que was already a Taiyi Golden Celestial, and it was clear that he was aiming to become the Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven.

Xuanyuan Wanrong was silently fearful. “How many secrets is he hiding?”

She had never seen a Cultivator with such astonishing enlightenment like that of Xu Que. He was simply adored by the heavens. No one could compare with him.

It had only been 10 years since she’d seen him, yet when he returned, he actually possessed a holy body that had the ability to withstand the strong Celestial Core Power. It was unbelievable.

Looking at Xuanyuan Wanrong, Buttface attempted to kiss up to her. “Deity Xuanyuan, you must cherish a talented person such as Brother Xue!”

In reality, he just wanted to bring Xu Que and Xuanyuan Wanrong together. After returning to Heaven Continent, with Xuanyuan Wanrong’s powerful backing, he could do whatever he wanted.

Indeed, as the saying goes, a loose tongue spells trouble.

Xuanyuan Wanrong’s cold eyes fell on Buttface, and a majestic force came out of nowhere, and she instantly flew toward him.

“Ah!!!”

Buttface screamed violently and smashed directly into the stone wall. Full of grievance and bitterness, he said, “Deity Xuanyuan, I am also… Ah! Please spare me! I’ll shut up now… I won’t speak anymore!

Buttface immediately chickened out. “If I die here, what a waste that would be!”

Xuanyuan Wanrong also slowly withdrew the Magic Art and no longer attacked Buttface. Her gaze was indifferent, and she could not be bothered to continue being petty with Buttface.

Suddenly, she stared coldly and directly at the stone wall beside him.

Buttface thought that Xuanyuan Wanrong had changed her mind about sparing him and nervously shouted, “Deity Xuanyuan, I will be honest. This is all Brother Xue’s fault. He is the mastermind. I am innocent…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a small stone wall beside him fell off with a puff sound.

A turtle’s head poked out, his face full of surprise, and shouted, “Ancestor, I am here!”

“Ah!” In that instant, Buttface screamed in panic. “Who is talking?”

“Eh?” The Turtle Spirit was also startled by Buttface’s voice, and he looked at Buttface with confusion. “Who are you?”

“I am the mighty king. Who are you?” Buttface was still full of fear, with a hint of surprise. After all, he had never seen a magic chicken before.

“Scoundrel, how dare you. I am the overlord of the Sea Tribe. Why are you, a dog, at my ancestor’s resting place?” the Turtle Spirit shouted angrily.

Very quickly, though, he saw that not far away Xuanyuan Wanrong was staring coldly at him, and he was completely dumbfounded.

“And who… Who are you?” he asked in surprise. Radiating from Xuanyuan Wanrong’s body, he felt a sense of power that left a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Following which, the Turtle Spirit gaze fell on the palace and saw Xu Que, who was occupying the position of the Spiritual Eye, was practicing and was having a huge movement.

“No! How, how can this be? How could this stage of enlightenment be occupied by your human tribe? Where are my ancestors?” The Turtle Spirit screamed sharply in disbelief.

It was hard enough to have finally managed to escape from death here, but seeing a dog, a man, and a woman and not his ancestors was a shock.

The main point was the man was actually handsome. The worse part was the handsome man possessed the Spiritual Eye of the ancestors and was madly absorbing majestic Celestial Core Power Qi!

Buttface raised his hand and asked, “Wait a second, when did the chicken become a sea animal?”

Both the Turtle Spirit and Xuanyuan Wanrong were not willing to entertain him.

“Shit! How dare you ignore me. Watch how I destroy your eggs!” In a fit of anger, Buttface reached out one claw and grabbed the Turtle Spirit under its brain.

Peng!

He swiped his claw with a pop, but all that was there was a small pile of dirt, and the eggs he had envisioned could not be found.

“Eh, where are the eggs?”

Buttface’s eyes widened in shock.

With this swipe, the Turtle Spirit fell straight out of the mud and ended up suspended in midair, stunned.

“It’s actually a turtle!” Buttface finally managed to see clearly—It wasn’t a chicken but a turtle.

The Turtle Spirit froze in place as if it was unable to accept the reality in front of it.

Its ancestors were nowhere to be seen, and the final stage of enlightenment of the Heaven & Earth Furnace eventually completed the human race instead. What had happened in the midst of everything was impossible to guess.

The arrangement that had lasted tens of thousands of years was over.

The heroic efforts of the Sea Tribe to revive the ethnic group with the help of its ancestors were also completely wasted.

“Ah!” the Turtle Spirit roared, its face filled with sorrow and hatred. It shouted angrily, “You… You damn people! You are shameless and despicable! Even if I die today, we will perish together!”

“Shut up!” Xuanyuan Wanrong raised an eyebrow and gently snapped her jade-green fingers.

With a muffled popping sound, the Turtle Spirit seemed to burst like a bubble. The moist droplets silently exploded without a hint of destructive power. The spirit flew away and disappeared without a trace.

A soul that had attained the pinnacle of enlightenment was gone just like that, exploding not even by choice, just heartlessly broken like that.

“Awesome deity!” Buttface shouted.

With a loud noise, Buttface was blasted hard into the stone wall by an invisible force!

“Sh*t!”

Buttface angrily said, “I compliment you, and you still hit me? I don’t threaten you, and you treat me like a sick dog?”

“Ah!”

Stuck in the stone wall, Buttface released a cry and let out an imposing force. He started to bawl loudly, “Brother Xue, she’s bullying me again!”

Along with Buttface’s wailing, a deafening noise suddenly reverberated throughout the palace.

The entire palace and cave started to shake violently, followed by a strong, majestic evil spirit sweeping across them in an imposing manner.

From the palace, a fluttering figure slowly started to rise.
