Chapter 1493: Beginning of the Nightmare
An extremely handsome man stepped forward. “I’ll go.”
Raphaella’s eyes lit up. This man was exactly her type, and she had already noticed him back when she had first arrived at the sect.
“Xuanyuan Cheng?” The Ancient Dragon Empress nodded. “Come.”
“Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress, please enlighten me.” Xuanyuan Cheng drew his sword and rushed toward the Ancient Dragon Empress.
Bai Ling immediately reinforced the sect protection formation by activating its power to its very maximum extent.
Xuanyuan Cheng moved as fast as the wind, and a peculiar light shone in his bright eyes.
The Ancient Dragon Empress was curious about what he was going to show her today.
A gentle white light began to flash from Xuanyuan Cheng’s sword, and the projection of a yin-yang symbol appeared beneath his feet. “Myriad Spirit Taichi... Heaven Detonation!”
The sword blade suddenly became scorching hot and brightened drastically.
Boom!
An earth-shattering boom erupted.
Destructive energy erupted forth, instantly engulfing the Ancient Dragon Empress!
Boundless power wreaked havoc upon everything, as if it were going to detonate the entire heavens!
This was an explosion that had truly rocked heaven and earth.
It was as if the sun had exploded, following which a massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and the phoenix unleashed their most powerful defensive techniques to protect everyone behind them.
All of the disciples and elders trembled uncontrollably as they stared at the mushroom cloud rising into the air over the drill grounds. Thank God their sect leader had prohibited spectating. Otherwise, they would have been permanently traumatized.
The explosive energy on the drill grounds quickly dissipated.
Raphaella formed a barrier around herself with her six wings, leaving only a slight gap for her gorgeous blue eyes to see through as she surveyed the situation with fear lingering in her heart.
The Ancient Dragon Empress still stood on the same spot, but her face had been blackened by the explosion, and her imperial robe was barely clung onto her body in tattered ribbons. When she opened her mouth, a white smoke escaped from within.
The explosion had taken place far too spontaneously for her to react...
As for Xuanyuan Cheng, she didn’t even need to attack him. He had already been blasted into near unconsciousness by his own explosion and was currently riddled with wounds as he lay incoherently on the ground.
The Ancient Dragon Empress didn’t even know what to say anymore. What the f*ck was wrong with these people?!
Did he really have to self-detonate just for a trial like this?!
“Big Brother Cheng!” An Lin rushed forward with a concerned expression and cradled him in his arms before unleashing a healing spell technique upon him.
Xuanyuan Cheng recovered slightly before turning to the Ancient Dragon Empress with an eager expression.
Ancient Dragon Empress: “...”
What? Was he looking for praise from her?
The Ancient Dragon Empress was fuming internally, but she forced a smile onto her face. “Student Xuanyuan Cheng’s aptitude is quite exceptional. Your will to detonate the heavens even at risk to yourself is extremely stunning... Your self-sacrificial spirit will allow you to bring the most out of your latent potential, and if you continue to persevere, your future achievements will be immeasurable...”
She strung together all of the positive adjectives she could think of in her appraisal before aiming a slightly indignant and concerned glance at Xuanyuan Cheng in the hope that he could read between the lines.
“Thank you for your appraisal and encouragement, Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress.” Xuanyuan Cheng’s battle intent had been ignited by her words, and he did not read between the lines at all.
Ancient Dragon Empress: “...”
She really wanted to tell him not to reveal to anyone that he was her student...
The Ancient Dragon Empress looked around a little uneasily. “Who’s next?”
In all honesty, all she wanted to do now was to turn around and leave.
She felt like she was facing a bunch of supremely talented mental hospital patients...
However, these were all her students, so she had to finish their trials, even if she did so with tears in her eyes.
“I... I’ll go...” Sun Yuluo raised his hand.
The Ancient Dragon Empress was then given a massive fright by Sun Yuluo’s Heaven Frightening Techniques...
This basically consisted of Sun Yuluo engaging in battle, while his Blue Dream Sword sword spirit tried to spook her through all types of horrific displays...
The Ancient Dragon Empress almost sh*t herself, and she immediately bashed both of them into the ground.
After that, it was Xiao Hong’s turn.
Xiao Hong was going to destroy the heavens in the name of the sun. In her eyes, the sun was paramount and nothing could compete with it. The sun existed before the heavens did!
The Ancient Dragon Empress had only just been blasted by Xuanyuan Cheng when she was blasted again by the sun.
Immediately afterward, Su Qianyun and Ye Ling formed a duo. Kill kill kill... Kill everything, including the heavens! Their techniques were extremely mysterious and unfathomable, but all of them were imbued with terrifying powers and killing intent...
The Ancient Dragon Empress barely managed to defeat Su Qianyun and Ye Ling, and her eyes were filled with exhaustion and astonishment.
All of the Four Nine Immortal Sect mighty figures were simply terrifying! All of them were supremely talented freaks!
Raphaella’s calm and collected facade had completely shattered. She knew just how powerful the Ancient Dragon Empress was. In terms of mastery of the Heaven Crushing Techniques, she was only inferior to Cyril and Chen Chen. However, she had been forced into an extremely disheveled state, and they had no choice but to reassess the power of the Four Nine Immortal Sect...
At this moment, Bai Ling took the stage with a warm smile on her face.
What they didn’t know was that their true nightmare was about to begin.
“Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress, please enlighten me.” Bai Ling bowed lightly.
“Come.” The Ancient Dragon Empress didn’t even want to say anything anymore. She didn’t even want to take this opportunity to beat up these students anymore. All she wanted was for these accursed trials to end as quickly as possible!
“Um, I have to warn you, Teacher. You must use your full power against me, otherwise, I’m afraid that I’m going to hurt you very badly...” Bai Ling spoke in a gentle and earnest voice.
“You’re scared that you’ll hurt me very badly?” The Ancient Dragon Empress chuckled before nodding. “Don’t worry, I know how to take care of myself.”
She was the fourth heavenly disciple of the Heaven Crushing Sect, a powerful being who had slain a Heavenly God before! Even after Xuanyuan Cheng and the others caught her off guard, she only sustained very minor injuries. It was simply a joke to think that Bai Ling would be able to inflict any substantial damage upon her!
Bai Ling pulled out an object from her spatial storage device before setting it up. This was a pristine white cannon.
“This is what you’ve been working on for the past ten days?” the Ancient Dragon Empress asked.
She knew that in these past ten days, Bai Ling had very rarely cultivated in spell techniques and instead listened very intently to the Ancient Dragon Empress’ lessons while taking very meticulous and detailed notes. After that, she wrote up some equations and formulae that no one could understand and raised many questions that the Ancient Dragon Empress didn’t even know the meaning of...
At that time, she was even beginning to wonder whether she was a fake teacher.
“That’s right. I have you to thank you, Teacher, for giving me the inspiration to complete this device... If it wasn’t for the time and material restrictions, it can be even more powerful! Take care now...” Bai Ling placed a hand on the barrel of the cannon, upon which energy quickly converged.
The hair on the back of the Ancient Dragon Empress’ neck stood up on end as a crushing sense of danger engulfed her entire body.
“Heaven Crushing Armor! Heaven Crushing Shield! Heaven Crushing Body Reinforcement Technique...” The Ancient Dragon Empress frantically activated all of her defensive techniques.
It was also at this moment that the cannon launched an almighty blast!
A silvery-white pillar of light pulverized space and annihilated all things in its path!
The Ancient Dragon Empress’ Heaven Crushing Armor, Heaven Crushing Shield, and Heaven Crushing Body Reinforcement Technique were all vanquished, and the pillar of light continued onward to puncture her body. It then continued to hurtle through the air, piercing the Dao Integration Stage protective formation, through the entire sect, and finally blasted off into infinity and beyond.
A dazzling mushroom cloud exploded into the sky amid a set of mountain ranges thousands of kilometers away...
“How could this be...” The Ancient Dragon Empress’ eyes widened as she looked down with incredulity at the hole in her waist, which had been intentionally aimed off to the side in order to avoid any vital organs.
She couldn’t defend herself against Bai Ling’s Heaven Crushing Technique?
The Ancient Dragon Empress was at a complete loss.
Raphaella was astonished beyond belief. “Why? Master is the fourth heavenly disciple, how could she be unable to defend herself against something like this?”
A faint smile appeared on Bai Ling’s face. “Don’t forget that the Purple Star Civilization is the heaven crushing pioneer.”
