50 Lin Fan gone crazy (1/2)
After getting equal status with Xu Que Lin Fan was satisfied but not happy. He wanted to earn his full slot as legendary MC of this cosmos with no equal except Stonexia. As he was famous as 'Lightning rogue' now just like Xu Que, he was chased by many in hopes of getting rewards from his bounty. But he was not showing any mercy to his chasers this time like earlier. He wanted to grow strong and experience points is the only thing that can help him achieve that. He also know that he is no match in long term fight against Xu Que due to his system's ability to heal him instantly. He can beat Xu Que only by one hit KO'ing him and for that he should be at least 5 or 6 subrealms higher than him or even whole 1 realm like currently if he was Void Training fourth stage, then he could have subdued Xu Que easily. That's why for quick level ups he is on rampage on East Continent. Everybody is saying that Lightning Rogue Lin Fan has gone crazy. He is rapidly leveling up too.
--------------------------------------------
Back in Celestial Burial Valley, Dong Genji on knowing about Jiang Limu possessing a device that can see through cutting stones was stunned and immediately ordered to track him and even the other Exploding Heavens Faction members. He also ordered his people to capture Wang Sicong (current Xue Que) too. Xu Que returned to Jiang Hongyan after setting up array and smiled on seeing that she is wearing his Spirit Visage and Banshee's Veil. Hongyan and Jingning were still surprised to see an expert spell setup by this young boy who is not even Void Training Stage cultivator. Understanding their surprised expression, he bragged that its a piece of cake for him to set up such spell and if he wasn't on a tight budget then he could setup even stronger spells maybe even arrays of the Spiritual Level or even an Ancient Scary Array! He took out dozen of storage rings from system's inventory. He took out his killer book and a three colored fire lotus appeared which were The Molten Green Lotus, the Bone Freezing Fire, and the Eight Waste Destruction Flames. Buttface was shivering to see all this and reminded Xu Que that big war is tomorrow, there is no danger today, but Xu Que ignored him. Combined aura of all this stuff is so scary that even Xu Que was sweating and was unable to believe that this is all his powers. Buttface ran away with full speed as he was a cowardly dog even after being so strong himself, and his bald butt was actually not bald but this lotus was responsible for its burning earlier that was another reason for his running away. Hongyan has seen this before and was still surprised that just in few months this Genuine Buddha's Fiery Lotus has grown so much from before that time. It was getting bigger and bigger and finally when everybody was frightened around that Xu Que is crazy and this thing gonna explode soon, he put away that spell inside one of the storage rings which exploded inside the ring. Situation reverted to normal. Everybody exhaled in relief. Actually he was just testing the might of this thing and even prepared a Divine emblem for escape in case this trick of storage ring didn't work as per his plans. Storage Ring will now act as a bomb for him now whenever he wanted. As Idea was success he activated Auto Recovery for himself so that he doesn't feel bored or tired by this repetitive activity which he has planned and also in case if something bad happened. After this he started producing more such rings. Hongyan and Jingning understood this idea and didn't stopped him. This bizarre idea was unprecedented. No one ever put such powerful magic art into storage rings. A terrific soul strength is required for such precise control and only someone like Xu Que only is capable of doing this. Behind the scenes in his invisible mode, Stonexia was also praising this idea as he has read countless novels and lived through so many cosmoses but this kind of activity was a totally new experience for him too.
Xu Que kept producing more and more rings and passed whole night doing this stuff. Only thing that confused Hongyan is that how will these rings be detonated as if he do it in front of a powerful cultivator he will have defense methods to save himself from explosion? But they didn't disturb Xu Que. But Buttface now gained his courage after knowing that there is no danger and he started declaring shamelessly, ”This guy is totally insane! If he just tosses all these storage rings out, I don't believe they'll cause any damage to those people!”
Finally sun rose, and thousands of cultivators reached this place. Elders of Void Training stage from all big families arrived too. But they can see enormous light screen of black flames. Countless ghosts made of black flames were floating around inside it. The newcomers can't see what's happening inside the array. Jiang Yushu, elder of Jiang family recognized it as an expert spell. They asked from the spies that were earlier sent for keeping eye on Jiang Hongyan and on receiving report they were stunned to know that all this spell setup is done by a young sovereign at Infant Transformation Stage, who is trying to help Hongyan and his identity is Wang Sicong from Exploding Heavens Faction. And even Liu Jingning from Utopia sect is there which seems to be allied with Hongyan and that boy. Her friendship with Hongyan was not surprising but with that boy too, it's impossible. Now elders were staring at Holy Virgin of Utopia Sect and thought that she is betraying them.
Inside the spell, Xu Que is finally done and has produced 100 storage ring bombs. He has sensed arrival of powerhouses outside his spell or otherwise he would be producing more of these bombs. Liu Jingning also sensed that it will cause problems for herself and her family if she stayed here anymore that's why she politely said farewell to Jiang Hongyan. Buttface was excited too as he wanted to leave alongside Jingning to protect himself from this future slaughter house. But Hongyan was more worried about Xu Que so she started persuading him to leave instead. Xu Que replied to Liu Jingning instead that she should leave immediately, acting dumb to the words of Hongyan. But Hongyan was still worried and she urged again, and thus told Xu Que that in case his spell is broken then he should escape immediately. Xu Que nodded his head just to pretend that he has agreed to the words of Hongyan. However Hongyan has doubts towards words of this cunning man too but what can she do after all? Hongyan stared towards skies as she sensed the heavenly tribulations arrival. Xu Que helped Jingning and Buttface to get out of his spell and Buttface was so fast in running that he left Liu Jingning in dust. Xu Que was speechless seeing the cowardice of this doggie.
The sky was filled with black clouds. Lightning kept flashing in the clouds as if it were a lightning dragon shuttling back and forth. Jiang Yushu ordered breaking of the spell as he has sensed the heavenly tribulations arrival too and want to get rid of Hongyan as soon as possible. However they were surprised to see the strength of this array as none of their magical inscriptions helped in breaking this barrier. But they continued to attack as more they attack the weaker the spell will become later. They were blinded by their goals which firstly included destroying of Hongyan's cultivation and second was greed of acquiring the treasures of the young man and his Exploding Heavens Faction. Inside Holy Sons and Virgins were surprised by strength of this array too and they believed that even if this barrier is destroyed somehow, its black flames will still be very dangerous and will take many lives.
Xiao Taixuan, the Holy Son from the Eight Directions Green Dragon Sect, bragged that he will kill Jiang Hongyan even after the warning from Carefree Building and started moving towards her. Xu Que was happy with the result of barrier and thought that he overestimated elders of big families and called them losers. Hongyan was preparing for her tribulations too and Xu Que landed near her. Although Heavenly tribulations are further intensified by more people but Xu Que didn't worried as he knew that without his help Jiang Hongyan won't be able to survive this tribulation which was abnormally dangerous even from his perspective. Xu Que looked at the sky and sneered, ”Come! You stupid thunder tribulation! I want to see if you can kill me! I'll absorb all your energy and improve The Great Ultimate Derivation Dragon & Elephant Seal. Then I'll be invincible!”
He has already cultivated 30 percent of Heavenly Thunder Seal just by the thunder essence in his body from his own heavenly tribulation of past. If he can absorb more from this tribulation and if he can complete this seal then he can easily defeat these Holy Sons and Virgins at least. Hongyan noticed this too and was worried about Xu Que but she can't do anything as clouds are already hovering above them and should have sensed Xu Que's presence too by now. Xu Que noticed her worries and told her not to worry and focus on her own protection instead. Suddenly Xu Que heard some voices ”Give my money back!” from above the clouds. Xu Que was stunned. Are they the so-called Heavenly Soldiers? It's just a tribulation, why on earth would they come here?! What on earth has Jiang Hongyan done wrong to be treated this way?! But he soon realized the main word 'money' from the heavenly soldiers. It's not because of Jiang Hongyan but himself only as he owed 8000 Act Tough Points (20,000 with interest) to the system and a debt recovery function was recently activated after upgrading of his system. He cursed the ancestors of the system 100 times, and Stonexia's system noticed this and urged tribulations to become even fierce and kill this young boy. But Stonexia calmed down his system as he didn't wanted to ruin such a nice MC of this universe. This universe even made lazy Lin Fan work hard, how can he let him die under hands of his OPS?
A million celestial soldiers were demanding their money back from Xu Que up above in the clouds. This is not debt collection. They are here to kill him for sure. System was still cursing system and system told him to behave himself as this is business. Pay if you want to save your life or else go to hell. Now Xu Que's brain were working faster in this desperate situation. He noticed that celestial soldiers were just made up from thunder energy only. Even Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud and the Ancient Catastrophe were nothing in front of these celestial beings but they are still thunder energy only. And this energy was what Xu Que himself wanted too. He thanked the system now instead. System was confused that he is trying to kill host and yet he is thanking him. This made Xu Que even more confident that he can make fool out of this system. He bought a Spirit Visage and Banshee's Veil for himself too and got ready. He put them on along with Negative Cloak. He used these items in his 59 heavenly tribulations too. These will not be enough for this abnormal 69 tribulations but still he has no choice as he was bankrupt now. Xu Que was ready after unsheathing his Dark Heavy Buster Sword.
Outside the spell of Xu Que, elders were terrified by this heavenly tribulations and were wondering if these are really 69 tribulations as there tribulations were nothing in front of this one. Just the aura of this one is so suppressing on them. Even 79 tribulations are nothing in front of these. How can Jiang Hongyan summon such frightening tribulations. But suddenly one person noticed that celestial thunders are demanding a pay back. Everybody was confused by this. But one thing that they know for sure is that East Continent will be annihilated with this million celestials army for sure. No one will be able to survive it. Dong Genji and his underlings were shivering in fear too. But he didn't showed it on his face and still showed his greed towards storage ring of Xu Que as he feels that Exploding Heavens faction members are not ordinary and they all have mighty treasures with them. Liu Jingning and Buttface were amazed by this aura of tribulations and that massive army that is approaching East Continent.
BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!
Xu Que with his sword jumped up towards sky with murderous intent.

On seabed of Sea of Annihilation in Slaughter Cosmos, Ricardo and Ferrell agreed to help Neptune and started attacking Emperor Sea Shark. Ricardo however just warned Emperor Sea Shark that he won't launch fatal attacks and just wants to restrain him as his goal is only Tower. Ferrell face darkened on hearing this as he wanted to launch a fatal attack for his revenge. And thus this trio engaged in a sparring just to keep each other busy so that no one take against Shi Yan or Neptune.
