“Buttface, what dirty tricks have you got up your sleeve?” Xu Que glared at Buttface and asked angrily.

“How could he not be angry at this moment?”

Buttface was really good at fooling people. He’d unexpectedly deceived everyone, even Xu Que. They’d all assumed that Buttface had become truly loyal, brave, and was willing to risk his life to help Xu Que.

But now it seemed as if it wasn’t a question of bravery or loyalty.

Xu Que could tell from the fool’s expression that some great gains were waiting for him. This was why he’d acted as he had to deceive everyone and followed Xu Que with all the group admiring his bravery.

“Hee, hee, lad, we’re going to make a great profit this time. Can you guess what I’ve discovered?”

Buttface wore a sheepish look and a wicked smile as he looked at Xu Que

“F*ck! What great profits? I just want to deal with the prophecy and teach Xuanyuan Wanrong a lesson at the same time. That lassie has implicated me and complicated my life for no reason,” Xu Que answered Buttface, shaking his head.

He wasn’t in the mood for Buttface’s fooling, and he didn’t have the leisure to care about making any profits.

Buttface continued wearing a lofty look and chuckled. He said, “Lad, my discovery will help you deal with the prophecy, and it can also help us get a large amount of Celestial Core Power.”

HISS!

Xu Que sucked in an enormous breath of cold air and opened his eyes wide. “A large amount of Celestial Core Power? What does it look like?”

“It doesn’t matter what it looks like. I’ve said that we will get a large amount of Celestial Core Power, and it’s a tremendous amount that will help us advance through several stages.” Buttface waved his legs around in an exaggerated fashion to describe the greatness of the amount of Celestial Core Power.

Xu Que stopped making fun of the dog and, with a grave expression, he asked, “Speak, what method?”

“Hee hee, well it’s like this...” Buttface had a wicked smile and pointed at the foot of the mountain range. He approached Xu Que’s ears and started whispering all about this matter.

At first, Xu Que frowned as he listened, but soon his face relaxed and his eyes lit up. Shortly, he was wearing the same smile as Buttface.

.....

Meanwhile, the rest of the group traveling with Xu Que were still waiting around the entrance to the Celestial Burial Valley.

They hadn’t left because they were planning to continue waiting here. They wanted to know how this whole situation would pan out.

After all, only two days were left until Xu Que was supposed to die, as predicted by the prophecy.

SIGH! “I’d assumed that we would be able to finish this journey without a hitch, even though the trip was difficult. I definitely didn’t expect that we would face a situation such as this. I guess I got too relaxed because everything had been smooth sailing recently.” Duan Jiude looked at the mountain range where Xu Que and Buttface had disappeared. He couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh. He felt quite melancholy!

Mo Junchen nodded in agreement and kept his silence. He had a heavy heart.

He held a storage ring in his hand tightly. It had been given to him by Xu Que before he left, and it contained a large amount of Spiritual Stones, Space-Breaking Talismans, and other magical properties.

Even though Xu Que didn’t say anything about this, Mo Junchen was aware that Xu Que had handed over all of his possessions to him. If any tragedy really occurred, the stuff in the storage ring was to be given to Liu Jingning.

Xu Que didn’t give it to Liu Jingning personally because he was afraid that she would overthink this matter. If he was able to come back, then everything would be fine. But, if he couldn’t come back, these treasures would be left for her and they would help her walk down her life’s path more easily.

After all, Liu Jingning wasn’t like Jiang Hongyan. She didn’t have any special physique or any powerful supporters. It wasn’t easy for her to walk down her path alone. As for Jiang Hongyan, she had the Body of Heavenly Kismet and her future path would be much easier than Liu Jingning’s.

BANG!

At this moment, a loud explosion could be heard from outside of the Celestial Burial Valley.

The noise was transmitted from very far away, and it originated from the sea area at the edge of the Eastern Continent. It sounded as if the sea had been bombarded, and the noise spread to the interior of the Celestial Burial Valley.

HISS! “What’s happening?”

“What is going on outside?”

“It seems as if there was an accident on the seacoast of the Eastern Continent.” The crowd was startled, and they started discussing this spiritedly.

Duan Jiude held in his hand the little fish he had taken from Buttface. It had previously been dispirited, but suddenly its eyes lit up and it got quite excited.

“They’ve come over! It’s our Sea Tribe’s great army, they’ve finally come over. Now our lord will come and will command the Sea Tribe Army with its million troops to attack the Eastern Continent,” the little fish was overjoyed as it shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, the expression of the Exploding Heavens Faction members changed drastically.

Would the million troops of the Sea Tribe Army attack their territory?

They all knew clearly that the power of the Sea Tribe Army was much greater than the Four Continents cultivators. The reason why they’d previously managed to hunt down the vanguard was that they were supported by the Eight-Headed Serpent. Now, however, Xu Que had already left. They probably wouldn’t be able to hold back the Sea Tribe Army.

HUMPH! “A million troops in the Sea Tribe Army? I’m still here. So, let’s see whether they can stir up any trouble,” Mo Junchen snorted coldly and looked indifferently at the little fish.

The little fish shouted in a sharp voice, “You...even if you were stronger than you are, you can only contend against the lord of my tribe. Our army with a million troops is rushing over. So, how do you plan to deal with them?”

“Guardian Mo isn’t able to attend to all things at the same time. So, I will obstruct the million troops by myself,” Liu Jingning’s expression had turned ice-cold as she replied in a deep voice.

Her cultivation stage was much lower than Mo Junchen’s, but she was still a real expert at the Earth Celestial stage, and the Sea Tribe troops only had people at the Form Synthesis stage, the Crossing Calamity stage, and other low stages. They wouldn’t be able to defeat someone at the Earth Celestial stage.

There was a large disparity in number, but someone with power at the Earth Celestial stage wouldn’t care about numbers. The Sea Tribe Army’s million troops weren’t any different than a million ants to Liu Jingning, and as long as she had a strong Magic Art, she would manage to eradicate them easily.

Moreover, they also had Duan Jiude, who was at the Human Celestial stage, so the Sea Tribe Army’s million troops were just a joke.

“You? Is it by depending on you? How is this possible? Your power is...” The little fish wore a mocking look, but when Liu Jingning and Duan Jiude revealed their boundless auras, it cried out in a sharp voice, “Ah! How is...how is this possible? Who are you? Why are you so powerful?”

“Hee, hee, you’re really ignorant and stupid. Your Sea Tribe doesn’t even know about our Exploding Heavens Faction, yet you still dared to invade the Four Continents? Don’t you know who is protecting the Four Continents?” Duan Jiude sneered coldly and grabbed the little fish. He grasped it tightly and he almost tore it apart.

The little fish immediately got better behaved, and it had a frightened and nervous look on its face. After it realized the power of Mo Junchen, Duan Jiude, and Liu Jingning, it got panicky and lost its confidence in the Sea Tribe.

.....

Meanwhile, a lot of things were happening at the Eastern Continent’s seacoast.

It seemed as if the sea had been split open by a blade, and the boundless seawater formed two large water walls. There was a broad path between them!

The Sea Tribe Army troops had taken on a half-human appearance and stepped onto the continent’s land in an imposing fashion.

The giant turtle was still atop the sea surface, and it seemed like a large island. It observed everything with its shining cold eyes, and it couldn’t repress its excitement.

“Lord, our tribe’s million troops have already gone ashore and assembled completely. They will all heed and obey your instructions.” A Sea Tribe commander clad in silver armor at the Great Vehicle stage knelt on one leg on the ground and bowed toward the turtle. He was quite respectful!

The giant turtle raised its head and its sun-like giant eyes swept all the troops of the Sea Tribe. Soon after, it snorted coldly and said, “I don’t have any instructions to give, and I just have one order. If you can’t conquer the Celestial Burial Valley in a single day, you will all die. This is why...”

After the turtle spoke, it paused for a moment before it continued in a deep voice. “This is why what you have to do is rush to the depths of the Celestial Burial Valley with no regard to anything else that is happening. Your sole mission is rushing inside.”

“Understood!”

The Sea Tribe Army troops all shouted at the same time.

As for the giant turtle, it had already submerged its head in water, and it curled the corners of its mouth into a cold sneer.

The world was heartless and it treated all myriad beings as lowly dogs.

This day’s sacrifice would build the Sea Tribe’s future.
