Chapter 260: Secret Treasure: Underworld Pearl!

The smoke dispersed in the sky, with crimson clouds dyeing half the heavens red.

“Good, it’s finally over.”

Meng Tianxuan gasped for breath, his pupils bloodshot as he pushed aside the lingering smoke before him, reappearing before everyone.

After the previous four rounds of explosions, his current state was utterly wretched—half his face mangled and bloody, robes completely destroyed, and even his mind seemed somewhat unhinged.

His head buzzed incessantly, his ears filled with auditory hallucinations.

“In the end, it is I who survived…” Meng Tianxuan murmured. Lifting his head to gaze at the sky, he suddenly noticed a glaring object and instinctively mistook it for an attack. He abruptly raised his hand, unleashing Star Power to counter it.

“Still trying to ambush me?!”

Meng Tianxuan manipulated his Star Power, snapping back to reality as he flipped his palm and struck out.

Boom! Boom!

The next moment.

Starlight surged upward, shooting into the boundless heights…

But soon.

Only after attacking did he realize…

It wasn’t the Exploding Heavens Gang’s self-destruction tactic…

“Hahaha, it was actually the sun… dead… they’re all dead!” Meng Tianxuan roared, his hair and beard billowing in the wind. Clutching his forehead, he began to descend into madness, his bloodshot pupils bulging as he shouted furiously at the heavens and earth, “With my immense power, what can any of you do to me?! Even the Exploding Heavens Gang’s self-destruction is useless!”

His thunderous voice echoed across the sky, resounding throughout Jianghai City.

“Oh no, this old fool has lost his mind.”

On the opposite side, Qin Yang could no longer hold back a smirk at the sight: “Did we break him already?”

But this was only the beginning!

There’s still more to come later!

Meng Tianxuan has just started, and he’s already falling apart?

The system’s rewards haven’t even been triggered yet!

The citizens of Jianghai watching the scene felt immensely relieved, whispering among themselves as they discussed the situation above.

“Has this guy been driven insane by the explosions? His condition is completely off!”

“Is this all the so-called Supreme Alliance Leader is capable of?”

“This feels great! He took four rounds of self-destruction from Earth Venerable Realm experts head-on—even if he isn’t dead, he’s severely crippled!”

“Serves him right! The Exploding Heavens Gang didn’t even provoke him, yet he insisted on picking a fight!”

The murmurs continued unabated.

“The Alliance Lord’s condition is truly… rather pitiful.”

Not far away, on a flat-roofed building, Liu Wushuang had recovered from his grief. Gazing up at Meng Tianxuan’s state, he too felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

Truth be told.

This was the first time he had ever seen the Supreme Alliance Leader in such a disheveled state.

His former image utterly shattered, reduced to hysterical madness.

“From this day forward, everyone will see you for who you truly are.”

Standing at the edge of the rooftop, Liu Wushuang noticed citizens capturing the scene on their phones. Countless live streams were broadcasting footage of Meng Tianxuan’s humiliation. From this moment on, it wasn’t just his own perception of the man that had changed.

The entire Star Warrior world would be shaken!

Every Star Warrior aware of the Supreme Alliance would come to understand their vile nature. Amid the clamor of the world, the so-called alliance protecting humanity was revealed as nothing more than an organization driven by self-interest.

…………..

Meanwhile, in a dark alley at the city’s outskirts, far from the residential areas, several Star Martial Police Department officers lay dead on the ground.

Their bodies were shriveled and wrinkled, all blood drained from them. Their deaths were gruesomely horrifying, as if they had endured extreme torture before dying.

Their eyes remained wide open, staring blankly…A black-robed man stood amidst the corpses, shrouded in thick mist. Suddenly sensing something, he turned toward the apartment building, a cold smirk playing on his lips.

“That’s the third explosion already.”

Nine Heavens Venerable’s expression remained unreadable, his face clouded with gloom as he muttered to himself:

“The Exploding Heavens Gang… truly insane. No wonder they managed to kill two of my Beast God Sect’s top generals back then.”

Having infiltrated the area days ago by using the commotion as cover,

he never expected to witness such an entertaining spectacle!

Nine Heavens Venerable closed his eyes slightly, releasing his spiritual sense to survey the surroundings. Soon, he could hear the voices of nearby citizens.

Without exception!

Every single citizen across the vast Jianghai City was now cursing the Supreme Alliance Leader, mixed with cheers celebrating his miserable state.

The irony was utterly biting!

From this day onward, his reputation would be thoroughly tarnished!

“Excellent, truly excellent!”

Nine Heavens Venerable’s smile widened as he slowly left the alley, swinging his sleeves in satisfaction.

The next moment, a dense black mist swept through the alley, dissolving flesh and blood. The corpses on the ground evaporated, vanishing from the world without a trace.

“Meng Tianxuan, never thought you’d come to this.”

“After this incident, the Supreme Alliance’s prestige will surely decline. You brute deserve this!”

………

High in the sky, the smoke gradually cleared. Following Ye Wuque and the others’ self-destruction, only three senior members remained.

These were also Qin Yang’s final three self-destruction cards.

With white hair and youthful faces, one holding a sword and another a staff, they appeared somewhat older. Their indifferent gazes swept past Meng Tianxuan without the slightest emotion.

They seemed completely unaffected by Lin Dong and the others’ deaths.

Their detached attitude immediately drew admiration from many citizens, further enhancing their impression of the Exploding Heavens Gang.

“Three Martial Uncles, shall we proceed together?”

Qin Yang bowed respectfully toward them. “Martial Uncle Ye Fan and the others have already ascended. Now it only remains for you seniors…”

“Heh, the future of our sect rests with you now,”

said one sword-wielding Exploding Heavens Gang member with a smile. “With your talent, you’ll surely break through to the Celestial Venerable Realm someday. Even if we fail to blow him up today, you can avenge us… The future… depends on you, young man.”

“This junior Qin Yang humbly accepts the sect’s teachings.”

Qin Yang continued bowing, playing his role to the end. “I will certainly not disgrace this mission!”

As his words fell,

Meng Tianxuan’s face across from them darkened considerably.

Let Qin Yang seek revenge?

These Exploding Heavens Gang members were sacrificing everything just to protect this junior, clearly indicating his extraordinary talent!

So young, yet already in the Supreme Realm…

“This brat must not be allowed to live!!”

Meng Tianxuan’s face twisted viciously, drool trickling from the corner of his mouth as he glared fiercely at Qin Yang. “After your elders die today, I will definitely eradicate the Exploding Heavens Gang!

Every last one of you will be exterminated in due time!”

As he spoke,

he lightly crooked his finger at the remaining three Exploding Heavens Gang disciples, taunting:

“Just you three left now. Come quickly! This Alliance Lord will end this once and for all!”

“Very well, we’ll grant your wish!”

The remaining three Exploding Heavens Gang members nodded upon hearing this. Activating their refined spiritual weapons and mystic staffs, they charged directly toward Meng Tianxuan.

In that instant, starlight surged!

Three figures converged, attacking Meng Tianxuan’s vital points from different angles!”Excellent! A swarm of ants!”

Meng Tianxuan laughed arrogantly, a cunning smirk curling at the corners of his mouth as he produced a spherical pearl adorned with mysterious patterns.

“Just three Supreme Realm cultivators left! Perfect to capture all at once!”

The moment the pearl appeared.

The laws of the surrounding space trembled, immediately catching Qin Yang’s attention.

“This is…”

Qin Yang, watching from behind, frowned slightly, sensing imminent danger.

As Meng Tianxuan revealed the Nether Sky Pearl, the surrounding space began to distort with terrifying deformations—all caused by this small pearl?

“Another hidden card?”

Qin Yang pondered briefly, discreetly observing Meng Tianxuan’s movements.

Not simple!

He must proceed with caution.

“This Nether Sky Pearl is a rare treasure I went through great pains to obtain. Using it on you now is an honor for your Exploding Heavens Gang!”

Meng Tianxuan let out a sinister laugh, extending his index finger as the Nether Sky Pearl hovered around it, slowly drifting toward the charging Exploding Heavens Gang members.

Whoosh!

The pearl shot forth instantly.

Mid-flight, the patterns on its surface erupted with violet light before the pearl dissolved into the air.

Thick mist gradually spread.

Sealing the space, an ancient aura permeated the area as if countless voices were chanting scriptures, disturbing the mind.

“Law Power?”

The three remaining Exploding Heavens Gang members dared not underestimate the threat, hastily attempting to retreat from the treasure’s range.

But it was too late!

The Nether Sky Pearl enveloped them in an instant. Looking around, they found themselves surrounded by dense fog while Meng Tianxuan’s figure suddenly towered thousands of meters high, far surpassing his previous Celestial Venerable Dharma Body.

“Did he grow larger?”

The three gang members stared blankly, craning their necks to look up at Meng Tianxuan, feeling as insignificant as ants.

Forget trying to move—

Escaping this space was impossible!

It was as if they had fallen into the palm of Meng Tianxuan’s hand.

Meanwhile.

From an external perspective… it wasn’t Meng Tianxuan who had grown taller, but the three gang members who had shrunk. The moment they charged forward, they were directly absorbed into the Nether Sky Pearl!

“What do you think, everyone?”

Meng Tianxuan sneered coldly, pinching the Nether Sky Pearl between his thumb and index finger as he examined the three trapped inside:

“This treasure connects to an ancient Array Formation—inside is a three-inch microcosmos beyond your ability to unravel.

With that Array Formation expert Mu Xuan dead, none of you can break this treasure… I, your Alliance Lord, have been waiting for this moment!

Surrender quietly and cease your futile struggles!”

Yet the moment his words fell—

Boom!

Violent tremors erupted from within the Nether Sky Pearl!

The trapped trio remained composed, refusing to give up as they continuously attempted to break free.

Sword glares and staff shadows struck the pearl’s interior walls, creating thunderous impacts that, when transmitted outside, reduced to faint, rustling whispers.

Ultimately, all efforts proved futile.

“Useless… He even deployed such a treasure?”

In the distance, Qin Yang frowned slightly, studying the Nether Sky Pearl in Meng Tianxuan’s hand with surprise.

Thanks to the True Explanation of Crafting, he naturally recognized the treasure’s extraordinary nature.

His mind raced.

A treasure capable of imprisoning Supreme Realm experts would be immensely valuable anywhere. The Supreme Alliance Leader must have expended tremendous effort to acquire it!Fortunately, I’m using a doppelganger to step into the trap this time.

If my true self had been caught, the consequences would be unthinkable—I might have truly fallen under the Supreme Alliance Leader’s control!

“Shouldn’t I destroy this thing now? Keep it for the New Year?!”
