　　Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

　　The entire atmosphere was filled with panic and fear which coursed through the entire area.

　　The crowd were terrified and their faces turned pale as all colors were drained from their faces. They looked at Xu Que with trepidation.

　　This kid… How did he do that?

　　He’s only of the Original Infant Stage. How did he managed to do that?

　　“Even the Fire God was intimidated by him and was forced to retreat! Was it because he mentioned the Heavenly Explosion Faction? Or was it because he was intimidating enough alone?”

　　“That’s too scary. Just a single sentence and the Fire God’s statue was ruined!”

　　“Was the Fire God afraid? Looks like Xu Que did that to prevent the Fire God from descending down to our mortal realm!”

　　Most people around were still filled with disbelief and yet they had witnessed it personally. This filled all of them with immense fear.

　　Mere words from Xu Que could interrupt the Fire Emperor’s sacrifice ritual and could even make the statue of the Fire God to break. That meant that even the heavens were afraid of him. Hence, many of them had changed their minds.

　　Looks like the heavens weren’t as unrivalled as they thought, for they had fears of their own as well– that was this Original Infant staged teenager!

　　The Fire Emperor and the other officials and ministers stood on the spot, each of them, bewildered at the sight they had witnessed and their minds were blank.

　　They found it extremely hard to accept the truth… that their sacrifice to the Fire God had failed!

　　And the statue of the Fire God had even exploded!

　　Could this really be the end of the Fire Nation? Without any warning or signs, this kid came along and destroyed the future of the Fire Nation!

　　The Water Empress found it hard to contain her bewilderment as she stared at Xu Que in utter shock.

　　The faces of everyone fell drastically and only Xu Que’s expression remained the same throughout, smiling to himself.

　　In his head, the system notifications were ringing out unceasingly.

　　“Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 130 act tough points!”

　　“Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 150 act tough points!”

　　“Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 180 act tough points!”

　　“Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough intelligently, and even offended the Fire God. The reward is 500 act tough points!”

　　Fuck me!

　　As soon as Xu Que heard the final notification ring out, he almost jumped up in shock.

　　“System, what do you mean by that? Is there really a Fire God in this realm? So what if I offended him? Will he actually come and kill me?”

　　“The next Tribulation that you’ll face will have a much higher difficulty level.” The system replied coldly.

　　“As long as he doesn’t kill me, that’s fine. It’s just a Heavenly Tribulation after all. What’s there to be afraid of? Besides, I can explode the heavens. Why should I be afraid of him?” Xu Que heaved a sigh of relief before putting on a cocky front.

　　He then looked up towards the Fire Emperor by the altar and shouted out, “Dog Emperor, what now?! Your Fire God refuses to come down to our realm. Do you have any other moves to show?”

　　“…” The Fire Emperor fell into silence.

　　His face fell, making him look rather intimidating and yet his heart was filled with suspicions, wondering the reason for such an outcome!

　　“Whoosh!”

　　Right at this point, two rays of bright white light flashed across the skies as the Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan rushed over.

　　It was rather obvious that both of their faces had strange expressions.

　　As soon as Zi Xuan saw the Water Empress standing next to Xu Que, her face fell and she opened her eyes wide!

　　“Sister, what are you doing here?” She exclaimed in shock.

　　As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Que felt his eyelids twitch.

　　Fuck! Zi Xuan is the younger sister of the Water Empres?

　　Zi Xuan, Hong Yan… No wonder their names are so similar.

　　But the Water Empress is still better than Zi Xuan. The way she carries herself, her demeanor and her… Keke… the Water Empress is definitely better!

　　The Water Empress laughed gently, “He’s half a disciple of the Sky Incense Valley and I’m here to bring him back and pay respects to his master!”

　　“What?” Zi Xuan was clearly astonished, and yet she recalled how a “Hua Wu Que” had made a reputation for himself during the Sky Incense Valley trials. However, she and the Flaming Sun Princess were both aware that Hua Wu Que was just another name of Xu Que.

　　“No sister, that won’t do. He’s…”

　　“Yo, so this miss is the younger sister of the Water Empress? This humble subject is Xu Que. It’s a pleasure meeting you. Let’s watch out for one another!” Xu Que interrupted Zi Xuan’s words and smiled as he spoke.

　　Once Zi Xuan saw Xu Que’s smile, she held her tongue and started thinking again. She recalled how both she and the Flaming Sun Princess had been poisoned by Xu Que and realized that this was a poor time to bring that up.

　　Hence, she shut her mouth and stopped speaking.

　　The Flaming Sun Princess didn’t stop. However, as she went past Xu Que, she cursed, “Shameless traitor.” Then she moved towards the altar.

　　Xu Que was clearly upset by this comment. I didn’t kill you and you still dared to curse me this way? What grounds do you have to call me shameless? You’re just a bully!

　　“Boom!”

　　Right at this moment, Xu Que poured his soul strength out as he raised his hands. Immediately, the Flaming Sun Princess was being prevented from moving further. She paused momentarily in the air before falling to the ground.

　　“Stop it!” The Fire Emperor shouted out in anger when he saw this.

　　However, Xu Que didn’t execute his killer blow. If he wanted to kill the Flaming Sun Princess, all he had to do was to use his mind and she would be dead. He didn’t even have to move.

　　Hence, he did this just to force the Fire Emperor out.

　　Without wasting time, he spent some act tough points and halted the spell restrictions around the altar.

　　Besides, Madam Ya had already lost her purity to Xu Que. Even if the Fire Emperor tried his utmost, he wouldn’t be able to call upon the Fire God. Xu Que was thus completely free of worry.

　　“Dog Emperor, if you want me to stop, come on out! You’re just like a tortoise, hiding in your shell. What kind of monarch are you? It’s no wonder that the Fire God chose to ignore you. All these are the consequences of your own actions. Only someone who’s as ferocious and fearsome like me would be able to make the Fire God cower in fear!” Xu Que shouted out.

　　Even before the Fire Emperor opened his mouth, Flaming Sun Princess clutched her chest as she stood up and spoke, “Father Emperor, don’t worry about me. Activate the protective spell and get out of here!”

　　“What about Madam Ya?” The Fire Emperor asked. He wanted to be certain if the ritual earlier had succeeded or failed.”

　　“Madam Ya is no longer a virgin. When I went over, I discovered that the Purity Bracelet on her wrist had vanished. Hence, I rushed here to inform Father Emperor.” As soon as the Flaming Sun Princess said this, her face looked extremely displeased as she glared at Xu Que.

　　“What?” The Fire Emperor was shaken as he stood on the spot and stared into space. His mind was completely blank!

　　When the crowd heard this, they were all stumped as well.

　　“Madam Ya has really given herself away?”

　　“Fuck me! No wonder that the ritual failed. It was because Madam Ya had already lost her virginity. How could the Fire God still extend its protection to Fire Nation?”

　　“Xu Que, this kid is really too vicious!”

　　Most of the onlookers had nothing to say as their eyes fell onto Xu Que.

　　This kid had slept with the Fire Emperor’s concubine, the Princess, and now, it’s with the Fire Emperor’s own sister!

　　Damn it! And he still had the cheek to say that he scared the Fire God away?

　　Screw your sister! You clearly knew that the ritual was going to fail.

　　Just thinking of this almost caused many people to vomit blood. They thus gained a deeper insight into Xu Que’s shamelessness and realized how thick skinned he truly was.

　　The Water Empress threw a glance at Xu Que, her demeanor was rather calm as her lips curled into a smile. She then spoke into his mind, “Little kid, now I know why you’ve come here with so much confidence and decided to chase after the Fire Emperor!”

　　“Eh, that has nothing to do with me. I, Xu Que, would always dare to own up to my mistakes. This was done by Li Bai, that cheap bastard!” Xu Que spoke indignantly.
