1389 It Seems Like This Matter Is Settled (1/2)

Even though it seemed that Xu Que pointed at a location at will, he'd really managed to find the burial ground of the almighty being of the Sea Tribe.

In the past, he'd bought a skill memory related to grave robbery in order to enter the Fire Nation's imperial tomb, and he had learned all kinds of precious techniques about feng shui. He could easily see through the terrain and find the location of the Dragon Vein.

Now, he didn't just use the feng shui techniques. His compass was the Six Rens Earth Plate that he'd stolen while he was in the Earth Continent. It was a Celestial Artifact!

The combination of both of these factors greatly increased the efficiency of Xu Que's feng shui precious technique, and he managed to easily find the core region of the Celestial Burial Valley terrain. It was the region where the Sea Tribe's almighty being could absorb the most Blood Sacrifice power.

However, finding it was one thing, digging it up wouldn't be so simple.

Buttface and Duan Jiude were the grave robbery experts. They were the most adept at robbing ancestral tombs, and, after they'd gotten Xu Que's instructions, they led the united members of the Exploding Heavens Faction forward. Every person was allocated a special iron shovel and a part of the ground to dig.

After a long time, the crowd had managed to dig only a tunnel about ten yards long. There were still thousands of yards to go to arrive at the graveyard. The ten yards that they'd dug weren't any different than a drop in the ocean.

”Lad, continuing like this isn't a feasible solution. By the time we finish digging, you will already have died,” Buttface shouted at Xu Que.

Xu Que frowned. He was also worried about their efficiency.

As a matter of fact, he'd also participated in the digging, but this region was too strange and the ground's hardness was beyond imagination. Every grain of soil contained spiritual Qi that turned all kinds of excavators and other tools in the System store useless. He could only depend on manpower for excavation.

However, if they contained digging at this speed, then he would really die here like Buttface had said.

”Why don't I fight? Why don't I try to use my body to contend against the Worldly Furnace and rush inside by force?” Xu Que was eager to give this a try.

After all, he had a second-rate holy physique. The Qi and blood of the other people standing in the outer periphery had been affected greatly and they'd lost their spiritual Qi.

Mo Junchen, who had a first-rate Hell King's Prison Suppression Physique, was also affected, but its influence on him was negligible.

As for Xu Que, he also detected the power permeating this region, but he was the sole person who wasn't affected at all.

However, this was probably just because they were still at the edge of the outer periphery. If they went forward and entered the Worldly Furnace's scope, then they would be affected greatly and even Xu Que wouldn't be immune any longer.

However, this matter allowed him to figure out a certain fact. The stronger the physique, the better one could withstand the effects of the Worldly Furnace's Blood Sacrifice.

”Then...could I try to use the second-rate holy physique to contend against this region's influence and reach the underground region by digging before my body's blood is sacrificed? The Sea Tribe's almighty being still hasn't awakened, and I should take advantage of this chance to drag him out and stew a pot of seafood with him.”

After this thought ran across Xu Que's mind, he wanted to try it. He was a person who wouldn't easily take risks. He wouldn't take the long road if he could take a shortcut. If he could take advantage of loopholes, then he would surely do so.

At the same time, if he was cornered and left without room to retreat, then he would become a gambler. His dormant fierce nature would make him gamble with his life. The reason behind this was that if he didn't gamble, he would still lose his life. So, why shouldn't he just die trying?

”Stop! You don't have to dig any longer,” Xu Que yelled at the group and stopped them.

The crowd was still at the outer periphery, but they had almost reached the Worldly Furnace. The Blood Sacrifice Spell's effects on them were weakened greatly because they were underground, but the soil was too hard and they'd consumed a large amount of spiritual Qi due to this. At this moment, many of them were exhausted.

Upon hearing Xu Que's voice, the crowd stopped promptly and turned their heads to look at Xu Que.

”Come here. Leave it.” Xu Que waved his hand at the crowd with a calm expression on his face. ”This time, I will deal with this by myself.”

”You'll deal with this by yourself?”

The crowd was dumbstruck.

Mo Junchen let out a sigh. He had already guessed what Xu Que wanted to do.

Liu Jingning frowned, and her worry was apparent on her face. ”You want to rush inside alone?”

”I can only do this. It should've been easier, but it seems that I won't get to relax,” Xu Que wore a carefree smile and spoke in a calm tone. He didn't seem nervous!

However, his smile made Liu Jingning more nervous.

If someone with Xu Que's character was sure of the outcome, he would usually reveal a confident smile. He would usually manage to accomplish feats that people couldn't believe he had done, and he could create miracles.

However, when this guy wasn't sure about something, he would frown or wear a grave look. However, there were times when he would put on an act and wear a grave look even though he was quite sure of the outcome.

But this time, he was too calm and carefree as if he didn't take the Worldly Furnace seriously. This didn't conform to his former actions.

This was why Liu Jingning had managed to discern something.

This guy obviously had no assurance, not even a little bit. This was why he wanted to reassure the other people with him.

”Can't you think of another solution?” Liu Jingning muttered to herself irresolutely for a moment before she questioned him in a soft voice.

She already knew the answer. Xu Que didn't want to take risks, and he wouldn't do so if there had been another solution.

But this time, he really didn't have a solution. If he continued to dig the ground to pass through it, he would need at least ten day. If he just retreated and allowed the prophecy to come true, then Xuanyuan Wanrong would be devoured by the Celestial Burial Valley and Xu Que would die with her.

This was why the sole solution was risking his life and rushing inside to give this a try.

”You can be at ease. This isn't the first time I've faced this situation. I will come back,” Xu Que whispered as he smiled and stroked Liu Jingning's hair.

Liu Jingning felt quite panicky. This youth had always been a kid in her eyes, yet without her realizing it, he had grown up. He'd become so strong and was able to bear the whole world's burden on his shoulders.
