When the Earth-rank powerhouse from the Nine Heavens Continent was eliminated, martial artists from all planes were completely dumbfounded.

Powerhouses of this level were rarely seen in ordinary times, yet now one had been slain beneath the sword of a Xingyun Continent martial artist!

“Congratulations to the participant for killing an Earth-rank powerhouse and obtaining 20 merit points.”

Hearing the female system’s voice, Jun Changxiao thought to himself: “Only 20 points? Looks like even a Wusheng’s life isn’t worth much on the planar battlefield.”

“Senior Brother!”

Several disciple-level powerhouses who were fighting with Purple Scale Demon King unleashed torrential fury in their eyes.

They were called the Nine Star Elders, having known each other for thousands of years with deep bonds between them. Now that one had fallen before their very eyes, they naturally couldn’t accept it!

“Boom!”

Just then, Purple Scale Demon King seized the opportunity. Purple energy transformed into a fist and viciously smashed the bearded man into the ground.

He didn’t continue attacking further, instead condensing his power again to bombard the other three.

“Go forth!”

“My darling treasure!”

Jun Changxiao’s extremely shameful voice rang out again. The Tianyuan Soul-Suppressing Tower suddenly appeared and heavily crashed onto the ground, suppressing the bearded man until he was half-dead!

This guy couldn’t handle Earth-rank opponents head-on, but he could play sneak attacks from behind.

Moreover, with a full set of supreme equipment and a powerful treasure, he absolutely hit his mark every single time!

Due to the emergence of an uncertain factor, in a short time, the powerhouses from Nine Heavens Continent’s side suffered two injuries and one death!

They were furious.

They wanted nothing more than to tear Jun Changxiao into ten thousand pieces!

However, even with rage soaring to the heavens, they could only be held back by Purple Scale Demon King and the others, unable to focus their attention on that guy.

“Boom!”

Ding Xingwang appeared like a ghost behind an enemy fighting with Hundred Mounds King, suddenly unleashing the Five Absolutes Palm!

“Boom!”

The opponent, caught unaware, exploded onto the ground as five types of malicious energy immediately ran rampant within his body.

In this way, only Purple Scale Demon King remained fighting three Earth-rank powerhouses, and the latter were already being suppressed step by step, completely unable to organize an effective counterattack.

“The situation is decided.”

A smile rose on Jun Changxiao’s face.

“Die!”

“Boom! Boom!”

Purple Scale Demon King’s energy erupted wildly, releasing countless fist imprints!

When five people couldn’t gain the advantage, now with three Earth-rank powerhouses remaining, they could only be abused into pathetic disarray, forced into stumbling retreats!

“Retreat!”

The goateed man roared angrily.

With six out of nine people lost and the situation extremely precarious, continuing to fight would definitely result in total annihilation.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

In an instant, the three Earth-rank powerhouses collectively burst forth with power, then transformed into streams of light fleeing into the distance.

Powerhouses of this level, if they had no will to fight and were determined to escape, even Purple Scale Demon King could only watch helplessly without being able to stop them.

“Hmph.”

It said coldly: “A bunch of cowards!”

Fighting against five Earth-rank opponents alone, though somewhat difficult, also made Purple Scale Demon King fight extremely refreshingly.

“Want to run?”

The smile on Jun Changxiao’s face gradually turned sinister, then he said darkly: “You’ll have to ask whether this seat agrees or not!”

“Swish!”

His arms suddenly spread wide as he shouted: “Detonate!”

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

As soon as the word “detonate” fell, space in mid-air suddenly distorted as thunder formations appeared one after another.

The three Earth-rank powerhouses who were fleeing saw the flowing light barrier emerge before their eyes, and their hearts suddenly filled with a strong sense of foreboding!

“This is bad…”

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The ten thunder formations arranged in mid-air, after flashing with the most dazzling light before their demise, immediately formed a chain of massive explosions!

“Crack crack crack!”

“Crack crack crack crack!”

For a moment, thunder-element energy howled forth as massive explosions shattered space across a large area into collapse!

How massive was the commotion caused by the explosion? Planar martial artists thousands of miles away all felt it, so they looked toward the firmament in shock. Then, eyes widening, they saw at the edge of their vision that space seemed to have been forcibly torn away by some power!

“My heavens!”

“What kind of power is this!”

“Could it be that a Heaven-rank powerhouse has made a move?!”

…

“Whoosh whoosh—”

After the explosion, violent winds howled outside the Xingyun Continent stronghold. Berserk thunder-element attributes spread wildly as the entire region seemed to transform into a forbidden thunder pool.

Closest to the explosion zone and not affected by the chaos, the gazes of various martial artists revealed horror as their hands and bodies trembled slightly.

They had personally witnessed the chain explosion of the thunder formations, personally felt the terror brought by the rampaging aftershocks. Being able to remain stable in mid-air at this moment without being scared into falling to the ground was already quite remarkable!

“This…”

Jiang Xie and others’ mouths twitched.

They knew that the Sect Master had been constantly entering and leaving the Formation Hall some time ago, burying himself with Zhen Dejun to research formations, creating a formation called the Heaven-Shaking Thunder Gathering Formation.

However, when today the formation activated and produced a chain explosion, creating such terrifying destructive power—that was absolutely completely unexpected!

“Keke keke!”

Jun Changxiao covered his face, laughing strangely: “So this is how refreshing it is to blow people up!”

Purple Scale Demon King’s mouth twitched slightly.

With the power produced by that explosion just now, if it had been caught in the middle of it, even if not blown into critical injuries, it would probably have been blown into pathetic disarray.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Just then, in the area where thunder power howled, three Nine Heavens Continent powerhouses fell down with bodies completely charred and covered in wounds. Under the thunder formation’s explosion, they had not only sustained severe injuries but had long since lost consciousness.

“Congratulations to the participant for critically injuring three Earth-rank powerhouses and obtaining 60 merit points,” the female system’s voice rang out.

“Critical injuries?”

Jun Changxiao said rather astonished: “This Heaven-Shaking Thunder Gathering Formation, derived from the Thirty-Two Extraordinary Gates and improved by me, Elder Zhen, and Shangguan Xinyao, can’t actually blow up Wushengs to death?”

The system said: “The host’s thunder formation level cannot barely approach Saint-grade initial stage level, so naturally it’s difficult to eliminate Wushengs.”

“Fine then.”

Jun Changxiao shrugged and said: “Not blowing them to death is even better—I can use them as bargaining chips.”

Speaking to this point, he turned around.

Looking at that group of trembling planar martial artists in the distance, he smiled coldly and said: “Would you all like to try it too?”

“Swish!”

“Swish!”

Everyone urgently released reincarnation-level speed, fleeing into the distance as fast as possible, afraid that being one step slower would mean dying here!

In the blink of an eye, outside the Xingyun Continent stronghold became empty.

“Clean up the battlefield!” Jun Changxiao said.

“Yes!”

Jiang Xie and others quickly sprang into action.

After a while, eight more wooden posts were erected outside the stronghold.

Eight severely injured Earth-rank powerhouses from Nine Heavens Continent were tied to them, joining the family of Kindly Brows and Angry Eyes in a neat and orderly arrangement.

When these fellows arrived, each one acted as if they were about to ascend to the heavens.

Now either critically injured, with severed arms, or blown charcoal-black, they had long lost their powerhouse demeanor.

Ending up in such a state was also related to Purple Scale Demon King—after all, single-handedly fighting five Earth-rank powerhouses was absolutely explosively strong!

The scene shifts.

Purple Scale Demon King, wearing only red underwear all over his body, stood with folded arms before the wooden stakes.

“Whoosh!”

A clear breeze blew, sweeping open his full head of purple hair, revealing an incomparably cold and stern face.

Peppa Pig tattoo on the body—applause for the exhibitionist.
