Chapter 257: Junior Qin Yang Asks All Martial Uncles to Please Ascend to Heaven!
Among the seven members of the Exploding Heavens Gang, the “Array King” Mu Chen began to make his move.
He represented the array formation aspect among Qin Yang’s many skills.
Qin Yang had been stalling for time precisely to give Mu Chen the opportunity to activate his array.
In that instant!
Starlight suddenly appeared, connecting to the Big Dipper’s seven stars in the sky!
The next moment.
Hum!
The array formation unfolded.
The sky above the apartment complex suddenly darkened.
“Is it nighttime?”
Outside the apartment blockade, Xia He was observing the battle in the sky.
He suddenly noticed that the vast firmament had become pitch black, as if obscured by endless thick fog.
Seven mysterious stars shone brightly, forming connecting lines that locked onto Meng Tianxuan’s position.
“Not a bad array formation.”
Meng Tianxuan praised calmly, unhurriedly looking down at the starlight shackles restraining him, still maintaining his demeanor as a powerful expert.
“But do you really think this can trap me? How naive!
The gap between Celestial Venerable and Earth Venerable is insurmountable. No matter how profound this array formation is, it ultimately has its limits!”
As he spoke, Meng Tianxuan raised his palm and pressed down toward Mu Chen who was reinforcing the Array Eye. An overwhelming force surged forth, shattering the void.
Crack!
A visible fissure appeared!
The Big Dipper Seven Stars Array actually couldn’t withstand it directly.
“This is bad, the array is about to break!”
Seeing this, Mu Chen’s expression changed drastically, and he quickly turned to warn the others, “Everyone prepare to evade!”
The next moment.
Boom!
The Big Dipper Seven Stars Array shattered, transforming into scattered starlight drifting down. The members of the Exploding Heavens Gang quickly retreated, avoiding the range of this palm strike.
Sparks fell like rain. Some longswords that had been suspended within the Sword God Domain melted under the extreme heat, turning into scorching molten iron that fell like rain.
“Impressive, this array formation is quite remarkable.”
The Supreme Alliance Leader brushed the dust off his robe, his expression calm as he looked at the disheveled members of the Exploding Heavens Gang, saying lightly:
“But it’s still far from enough to challenge this Alliance Leader…”
……
In the live broadcast, all netizens who saw this scene felt despair. A flood of negative comments swept across the screen, everyone astonished by the might of Meng Tianxuan’s manifestation.
[What kind of monster is this Supreme Alliance Leader?]
[They’re not even on the same level? How can they fight this? The Supreme Alliance Leader is so powerful, I think they should just surrender!]
[No! Please don’t follow in the Sword God’s footsteps…]
[Is the Exploding Heavens Gang going to repeat history this time?]
[Is there anyone who can save them!]
The pessimistic voices online gradually multiplied.
More and more netizens were losing faith in the Exploding Heavens Gang.
Faced with such absolute overwhelming power, everyone was beginning to expect the worst-case scenario.
“This is bad, Qinghe, do you have any way to contact other seniors from our sect?”
At this moment, Elder Li turned to look at Li Qinghe beside him and asked solemnly: “If we can get them to provide support, there might still be a slim chance of survival. Otherwise, if we delay any longer… I’m afraid even these seven in the sky won’t be able to hold out!”
“Me? Have me invite people…”
Li Qinghe was taken aback upon hearing this, pointing at herself and stammering.
She immediately felt somewhat embarrassed.
It wasn’t that she was unwilling – this young lady hasn’t even officially joined the sect yet!
Thinking of this, Li Qinghe felt rather disheartened, suddenly realizing that up to now, the only sect members she knew besides Qin Yang and her martial grandfather…
… seemed to be no one else!?
“This young lady is so pitiful.”
……
……
In Fuhai District.Near noon.
The scorching sun climbed high in the sky, baking the earth. The pristine buildings remained tranquil, undisturbed by the distant clamor.
In the kitchen, pots and pans clattered as Xiaobai busied herself with cooking. Qin Yang lay on the sofa, watching the live broadcast.
On the screen, pessimistic comments floated by. Eight clones had surrounded the Supreme Alliance Leader, yet found themselves at a disadvantage.
“To think there’s such a thing as a Dharma Body in the Celestial Venerable Realm…” Qin Yang stroked his chin, deep in thought. “Heaven-Earth Avatar… So after reaching Celestial Venerable, one can solidify a Dharma Body? I wonder what mine would be?”
He wasn’t particularly greedy.
If someone like Meng Tianxuan could manifest such an imposing golden body, then he should have no problem creating one for fun when the time came!
Amid his thoughts.
A startled cry came from the kitchen.
“Oh no, Master!” Xiaobai rushed into the living room, holding her phone and wearing a busy apron, her tail wagging anxiously. “That show-off broke your array formation!! What should we do?”
“Don’t panic!” Qin Yang took a sip of light tea and patted Xiaobai’s head. “The situation is still under your master’s control.”
“Oh, alright then. But hurry up!” Xiaobai wagged her tail excitedly, urging him. “Blow him up quickly! I want to see a big explosion! The earth-shaking kind… Come on, Master. Since you can’t beat him anyway, just self-destruct already!”
“No rush.” Qin Yang set down his teacup and gazed toward the apartment complex, his eyes profound as if spanning ancient epochs.
With the system at his disposal, he held a five-hundred-year advantage over others, allowing him to see things more clearly.
Observing this battle was immensely beneficial. As a Celestial Venerable, every technique Meng Tianxuan employed offered valuable insights.
“However… judging by the timing, it’s about time to wrap things up.”
……….
“What’s wrong? Still won’t admit defeat?”
The battle in the sky intensified, air currents swirling chaotically. Meng Tianxuan’s robes billowed as he patted the fragments of Star Power beside him, scrutinizing Lin Dong and the others.
They looked utterly disheveled.
With Star Power dissipating from their bodies, even if he didn’t strike, he could exhaust all seven of them to death!
“Just make your Exploding Heavens Gang leader show himself, and this ends here.” Meng Tianxuan seized the chance to persuade them.
“Alliance Lord, keep dreaming.” Lin Dong cut him off before he could continue, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth. “A low-tier Celestial Venerable like you isn’t worthy of meeting our master!”
With that, he raised his right hand and launched another Sky-Imprisoning Finger attack. Ye Fan and the others followed suit with their own moves.
The next moment.
Seven Emperor-Rank Martial Arts were unleashed at full force!
Bolstered by Qin Yang’s “One Sword Opens Heaven’s Gate,” they tore through the sky—blades, swords, fists, palms, and array formations all converging on the Supreme Alliance Leader. Yet, against his Dharma Body, they proved completely ineffective.
The gap was simply too vast.
After weathering the assault, Meng Tianxuan remained motionless, coldly observing them.
“Fine! Since you insist, I warned you—all of you will die!”
Meng Tianxuan flung his sleeves wide, simultaneously scanning his surroundings and carefully sensing the Star Energy, shouting:
“Leader of the Exploding Heavens Gang! Show yourself! If you don’t come out now, your prized disciples will all perish!”
Yet, there was still no response.”Give up.”
Lin Dong laughed carefreely, “Even if you scream your throat hoarse, our master won’t appear for someone like you!”
“Why?”
Meng Tianxuan suddenly asked, “Just because I forced you?”
“Wrong! Haha, after all this time, you still don’t understand?”
Lin Dong laughed heartily, his aura chaotic yet still looking down on Meng Tianxuan from a superior position as he slowly said:
“Forcing us is one thing, but it’s not the main reason.”
“Then what is it?”
Meng Tianxuan frowned.
“Because you’re not worthy!”
Qin Yang delivered the finishing blow.
As his words fell.
Boom!
“What did you say!?”
Meng Tianxuan trembled all over, his sky-supporting figure shaking violently. These words struck directly at his soul, and everyone could see the tremendous impact they had on him!
Not worthy!?
With my methods reaching the heavens, crushing seven Supremes of the Exploding Heavens Gang barehanded… and I’m still not worthy?
I can’t even meet the Exploding Heavens Gang Leader face to face?!
“How is this possible! You brat! How dare you disturb my dao heart here!”
Meng Tianxuan was inwardly horrified, but he quickly composed himself and maintained his calm. He lightly stamped his foot, shaking the very foundations of Jianghai City to conceal his shock.
“Tsk, still not enough.”
Qin Yang, who was watching from the side, frowned deeply. Although Meng Tianxuan’s emotional vulnerability was fleeting, he had still caught it.
But this second breakthrough wasn’t sufficient to trigger the system reward!
What a pity…
After acting for so long, he never expected to still be one step short. Just as Qin Yang sighed with regret, he saw Meng Tianxuan floating over the lake, beginning to wrap things up.
“Fine, since the Exploding Heavens Gang Leader won’t come…”
Meng Tianxuan scanned the crowd, no longer intending to delay. With his hands behind his back, he slowly said: “Then it’s time for you all to be on your way.”
However, as his words fell,
the reaction of the Exploding Heavens Gang stunned him.
They showed no trace of fear on their faces, as if they had long been prepared. Lin Dong, their leader, even smiled faintly:
“The old man is right, it is time to be on our way.”
Ye Fan nodded in agreement.
“Respectfully inviting all Martial Uncles!”
Qin Yang cupped his hands toward Lin Dong and the others, displaying complete composure. “This junior hereby requests your Ascension!”
Meng Tianxuan: “???”
To outsiders, this behavior seemed excessively filial to the point of absurdity, even giving off a sense of inexplicable absurdity. But Meng Tianxuan across from them didn’t dare underestimate it, his expression growing three parts more solemn.
For no other reason!
Because these people were genuine madmen.
The Exploding Heavens Gang seemed to take pleasure in their self-destruction faith, with some secret mystery behind it – they all feared no death.
Just as Meng Tianxuan was lost in thought.
“Fellow junior brothers, this Senior Brother will take the first step!”
Lin Dong glanced back at the other members of the Exploding Heavens Gang, bidding farewell with a calm smile before lifting his foot to step forward.
The next moment,
he took one step that covered countless distances, vanishing for hundreds of paces under the blazing sun until he stood directly before the Supreme Alliance Leader, face to face, as composed as old friends meeting after long separation!
“You madman!!!”
Meng Tianxuan was greatly alarmed, trembling all over. Seeing Lin Dong so close, immense fear suddenly exploded within him, shooting straight up his spine to the crown of his head!
Immediately, the charging Lin Dong held his breath, his skin beginning to split and crack open, strands of starlight leaking out from within his body.
“Self-destruction again!?”
