"Hua!"

At that second, there was an uproar in the crowd.

Nobody could maintain their composure any longer.

The previous Emperor, the previous previous Emperor and the Emperor before him, three generations of ancestor had all appeared?

Where… Where did this kid get these three spirits from?

And the cultivation level of these three spirits were exactly the same before they departed this world!

Was this really a deception?

And yet who could create an image of spirits which were of the Void Refining Stage and there were three images as well. Was Heavenly Explosion Faction so powerful?

Doubts started to materialize in the hearts of many people. They all started to feel that these three spirits could truly be the ancestors of the Fire Emperor.

The Fire Emperor was stumped. He never imagined that Xu Que could even summon the spirit of his great grandfather, whom he himself had never met!

The Water Empress was visibly shocked by this as well. Her eyes were glowing, when she realized that she had truly underestimated this young man.

This young man was much more talented and unpredictable than she had imagined him to be!

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 100 act tough points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 120 act tough points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 160 act tough points!"

The system notifications rang out repeatedly in Xu Que’s mind.

The rewards for acting tough this time was truly abundant.

Xu Que laughed out plainly, still hovering in mid air. He was dragging the three spirits by their chains as he bellowed, "Dog Emperor, even your great grandfather has appeared. Why aren’t you showing your respects to them?"

The Fire Emperor was enraged as he shouted out, "How dare you create images of my ancestors? Such an action violates the heavens. Today, I shall discipline you and punish you for your crimes! Men, take down this bandit and his false images!"

"Yes!" All the Imperial Guards shouted out in acknowledgement as they conjured spells and charged towards Xu Que.

Xu Que stood his ground in defiance as he laughed out once again, "Truly only this dog Emperor is capable of killing his own ancestors. His methods are truly vile."

"Outrageous! You are clearly using a spell to replicate the likeness of my ancestors’ spirits. How dare you attempt to deceive all of us and trick us by such means?"

The Fire Emperor had killing intent radiating out from his eyes as he shouted, "And yet it seems like you only managed to create images of my ancestors who were of the Void Refining Stage. Everyone under the heavens knows that I also have many Form Synthesis Stage ancestors. It’s obvious that you were unable to replicate their likeness, since their cultivation level were too high."

Although he didn’t know how Xu Que managed to conjure the images of his ancestors. He was certain that Xu Que didn’t have more tricks up his sleeves.

When everyone heard this, they were stumped.

The Fire Emperor sounded so convinced and certain. Could it truly be that these spirits were all just illusions?

Who was speaking the truth here?

Many people started to have doubts in their hearts.

"It seems like it’s impossible for the Fire Emperor to acknowledge that the spirits are his ancestors without losing out." An Imperial Guard whispered, clearly suspicious.

"It’s very possible that these three spirits were just illusions and images conjured by him."

"Looks like this Xu Que is truly an outstanding member of his Heavenly Explosion Faction. He probably paid a huge price and got the strength of his entire sect to create these illusions!"

"That makes sense. His motives would be to undermine the Fire Emperor. It’s a shame that the Fire Emperor saw right through it."

"Although the Void Refining Stage was very powerful, an illusion of someone of that cultivation level could probably be created using a great deal of resources and underhanded methods!"

"But when it comes to the Form Synthesis Stage, it’s possible to create an image of that form!"

Boom!

At this point, the group of Imperial Guards had already conjured a myriad of powerful spells. Each guard had casted his own spell, causing the entire sky to be filled with an assortment of colors as they converged down upon Xu Que.

It was a spectacular scene!

The Water Empress stood some distance away, observing Xu Que and everything around him.

Although she had heard of Xu Que’s powers and how he had defeated the Fire Emperor numerous of times, she had never seen it for herself.

Hence, she was unable to determine if the rumors were true or false.

At this point, she saw an entire group of Imperial Guards surrounding Xu Que. Each of them had conjured a powerful spell and directed it at him. She was filled with immense doubts and yet she had made a decision in her mind as well.

If Xu Que truly was unable to fend them off, she would lend him a helping hand. Even though that might incur the wrath of the Fire Emperor and thus make an enemy out of him, she felt the need to intervene. After all, Xu Que was a one in a million talent and she wanted to snatch him away and pull him into Sky Incense Valley!

However, against so many powerful Imperial Guards and their spells, Xu Que remained unusually calm. In fact, his lips had curled into a smile, as he whispered, "You’re asking for death!"

At the next moment, there was a loud "whoosh" as Xu Que conjured his black flame. The Eight Waste Destruction Flames!

As soon as the black flames appeared, the surrounding area felt incredibly hot as the temperature around soared. Everyone around could feel the heat radiating out from this mystical flames and were afraid.

The Fire Empress’ eyes opened wide in shock!

"Eight Waste… Destruction Flames!" Xu Que whispered as he turned once, drawing a ring of black flames around him.

Soon after, he clapped his palms together, sending out a powerful blast of boundless energy.

The air around him was undulating as ripples of aftershock was sent out in all directions from his body. The air around him blew the ring of fire which surrounded his body and scattered the black flames in every direction as well.

Boom!

The black flames enveloped all the Imperial Guards around and swallowed them in the unbelievable heat.

With his mystical flames sent out in all directions, the Imperial Guards were unable to dodge them. Even before any of them could scream out, they were turned into dust and was scattered along with the ripples of air.

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 120 act tough points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 160 act tough points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing an Original Infant Staged cultivator. The reward is 200,000 experience points..."

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing an Original Infant Staged cultivator. The reward is 200,000 experience points…"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing an Original Infant Staged cultivator. The reward is 200,000 experience points…"

Xu Que’s act tough points and experience points swelled!

Everyone around who watched this was filled with immeasurable shock!

Such a scene was only too familiar to them. Just several days ago, they had seen the power of his three colored Fiery Lotus and it’s powers were terrible to behold.

However, they never expected that this Lord Prince Consort would actually show up a few days later and use only a single mystical fire of his to kill dozens of Imperial Guards.

"How… How was this possible? It had only been two days. How did he get so much more powerful?" The Fire Emperor was appalled.

Two days ago, he relied on the Imperial Qi and was still defeated effortlessly by Xu Que.

Today, he was outside the domains of the Imperial Palace. He knew that if Xu Que conjured his three colored Fiery Lotus once again, he wouldn’t be able to win him and he might even lose his life.

And now, it was apparent that Xu Que had became much stronger, especially his tougher physical body which was extremely terrifying.

Just by using his palms, he was able to send out such devastating energy and even sent the black mystical flames soaring in all directions.

Such powers… Was clearly equivalent to someone of the Infant Transformation Stage level seven!

The Water Empress was at a loss for words. The strength exhibited by Xu Que had exceed all her expectations.

The glare in her eyes started to turn to one of admiration!

"Dog Emperor, why were you so excited to attack? Were you afraid that the presence of your ancestors would undermine your position as Emperor?" Xu Que laughed out mockingly.

The Fire Emperor didn’t respond immediately as he retreated several steps backwards, in the direction of the palace. He then replied, "If you wish to fight it out, let’s fight in the palace. Stop using the reputation and honor of my ancestors to create deceptions and illusions. These three spirits are fake!"

"Oh? Indeed, you wouldn’t shed tears until you’ve seen your own coffin then! These spirits had been led out by Zhang Qi Ling of the Heavenly Explosion Faction from within the Imperial Tombs! Are you sure you don’t wish to acknowledge them? Or… Should I call for the rest of them to come out?" Xu Que sniggered before he flicked his wrist and shook the Pagoda.

"Boom!" A loud crashing sound could be heard from within the Pagoda.

Soon after, the dozens of spirits gushed out, each of them bore fearsome and intimidating aura.

"One, two, three, four, five, six… Yo! Dog Emperor, eighteen generations of your ancestors are all here. You should probably fall to your knees and acknowledge them now, huh?" Xu Que laughed out.
