"Boom!"
The ancient energy exploded out from Xu Que’s palms before transforming into a powerful spell which resembled tens of thousands of threads.
At the next moment, the gargantuan jade seal which was enveloped in golden energy seemed to have stopped moving. The invisible threads held the jade seal in place, preventing it from charging towards Xu Que.
"What?"
The Fire Emperor’s face froze as he realized that he had lost all control of the jade seal. He suddenly looked extremely afraid as he shouted out, "How could it be? What’ve you done?"
That jade seal had been passed on for generations within the royal family. Every single Emperor had possessed it in their lifetime. This was the heirloom which assisted with their cultivation and converted blood into cultivation energy. In fact, this weapon had been a part of each Emperor.
And now, this jade seal had actually been stolen from him? He couldn’t feel the bond which attached himself to the jade seal any longer and his spells didn’t seem to affect it as well. He completely couldn’t feel the jade seal as though it had been ripped away from his control!
Everyone were astonished.
"What’s happening?"
"Why did the jade seal suddenly stop? Has the Fire Emperor changed his mind about attacking master Xu Que?"
"No. It seemed like master Xu Que was the person responsible for stopping the jade seal. It looked like he had casted a spell and I could even somewhat feel it!"
"Yes, I can feel it as well. Although it came in a flash, I could feel the strength of the spell!"
"Could it be that this young master Xu Que already possessed such immense power even before reaching the Void Refining Stage? How… How was this possible?"
Many people around were extremely shocked as they looked up towards the sky in shock.
Even the Flaming Sun Princess and the rest of them were filled with astonishment, finding it extremely hard to believe!
The jade seal’s powers were formidable and all of them were extremely clear about this. They even knew that this jade seal was more powerful than most Six Star weapons. Now however, it had been stolen by Xu Que and fell under his control.
Seeing something like this happen filled all of them with dread!
This was a Six Star weapon!
This was the Fire Nation’s jade seal!
"What have you done?" Up in the skies, the Fire Emperor shouted out once again, his heart was filled with a sense of greed!
The spells which Xu Que had casted today, be it the three colored fiery lotus or the lightning balls, they were all extremely effective and potent skills.
Now that he had revealed another spell which was capable of stealing other spells, the Fire Emperor was filled with greed and wanted to covet these spells for himself.
He knew that if he was able to steal some of these spells from Xu Que, it would be very easy for him to transcend into the Void Refining Stage. In fact, he might even be able to achieve higher enlightenment!
"Hahaha! Dog Emperor, look at how the jade seal doesn't recognize you anymore. In fact, it even thinks that I’m the true chosen one of the heavens. Maybe you shouldn’t remain the Emperor any longer. With a single palm, I can banish you from the throne and even flatten you into a pancake!"
Xu Que ignored the Fire Emperor’s question and laughed out before exposing the Troops character to everyone.
Using the Troops Secret Character once more, he activated that massive golden aura jade seal and felt immense powers at his fingertips. In fact, it felt like he had the ability of moving mountains.
Boundless of powerful energy emanated out from the jade seal before it changed directions and started moving towards the Fire Emperor.
With a loud boom, the golden aura jade seal had been reactivated once more and killing intent emanated out from from it as it charged ferociously towards the Fire Emperor.
"What?
" The Fire Emperor was astounded as he opened his eyes wide in shock.
Forget the fact that he had lost control of the jade seal. How could Xu Que have gained such immaculate control of it and even used it against its owner? That is an act which defies the heavens!
Whoosh!
At this point, his shadow moved as he backed away in retreat.
Even someone as powerful as the Fire Emperor didn’t dare to pit himself against the might of the jade seal. Especially since he no longer had the protection of the Imperial Qi, all he could do was to turn his head back in retreat!
"Haha! Why are you running? Didn’t you say earlier that you wanted to compete with me? What has happened to the trust between people? We’ve only just started and you’re already running away!" Xu Que started taunting as he continued conjuring the Troops Secret Character, sending the jade seal after the fleeing Emperor.
This sudden revelations caused everyone present to be extremely shocked as they opened their eyes wide in.
"How is this possible?"
"He even managed to gain control of the jade seal!"
"That’s a powerful heirloom which had been passed on within the royal family for generations. How did he manage to pull that off?"
"The Fire Emperor has really embarrassed himself once again and thrown his face yet another time. As the monarch of a nation, how could he allow his enemy to steal the jade seal? That’s the symbol of the Emperor’s authority over the nation. His enemy has even managed to turn it against the Emperor himself!"
"And this Xu Que is really too outstanding! Where did he manage to learn such ancient spells? I’ve never even heard of it. Even Duan Jiu De would probably not have such spells under his belt too, huh?"
"Unless it came from the Heavenly Explosion Faction?"
"That sect is too mysterious and have many other geniuses as their disciples. This spell most probably originated from that sect!"
Many people within the audiences started speculating. They had started getting curious about the Heavenly Explosion Faction!
Most of the people however, were still focused on the battle between the pair of them.
Their hearts were extremely nervous!
Xu Que is truly too scary!
A mere Original Infant Stage could actually chase after an Infant Transformation elite cultivator. In fact, this isn’t the first time this has happened!
The Fire Emperor had conjured his fastest moving spell in order to escape as he sped through the skies. However, the jade seal had taken such an immense size that it was as big as a mountain at this point.
Even though the Fire Emperor tried his hardest and managed to travel several kilometers away from the seal, all that Xu Que had to do was to flick his fingers to make the immense jade seal inch a little, covering all the ground which the Fire Emperor managed to gain.
After all, this was a Six Star grade weapon and it was truly terrifying!
Bully!
This was truly a case of bullying!
Nobody would’ve expected something like this to happen!
The crowd had always perceived the Fire Emperor to be extremely powerful and peerless. And yet he was being bullied by someone of lower cultivation level!
"Dog Emperor, you can’t run away from me!" Xu Que had already caught up to the Fire Emperor.
The jade seal with its majestic golden aura was following overhead. As soon as Xu Que shouted out, the jade seal towered over the Fire Emperor, causing a large shadow to envelop his surroundings before it dropped down onto him.
"Boom!" The air around had started swirling from the pressure of the jade seal and were being compressed downwards.
The Fire Emperor had nowhere else to run. In the face of such an immense threat from the jade seal, he gritted his teeth and conjured the Imperial Qi once again in desperation.
The powerful and immense Imperial Qi wasn’t completely sent away by the Fire Emperor. As soon as the Fire Emperor willed for it to appear, it poured out and wrapped the Emperor within the protective energy. Under the threat of the jade seal, the Imperial Qi shrouded around the Emperor.
"Bam!"
The Fire Emperor resembled a small housefly in comparison to the massive jade seal which descended down upon him!
Once again, he was hurled out from the sky and shot towards the ground violently. When he landed, a large crater was formed once again with rocks and debris thrown into the air.
With a loud "pu", the Fire Emperor spat out a huge glob of blood while his face was deathly pale even with the protection of the Imperial Qi as he conjured it too hastily in the face of such impending danger.
Xu Que’s powers were intensified by 30 times with the Killer Sword as well as the newly plundered jade seal from the "Troops" Secret Character. Thus thee amount of damage dealt to the Fire Emperor was immense even for an Infant Transformation cultivator.
With such strong powers, the Fire Emperor simply had no way of withstanding the blow.
The crowd were overwhelmed as well and finally understood that Xu Que didn’t just simply steal the jade seal. He had truly gained control of it as well and was able to maneuver it however he wished.
"How… How did he do it?" Flaming Sun Princess opened her mouth, wide eyed and in shock.
The jade seal was the Imperial family’s heirloom. How could anyone outside of the imperial family, without the royal blood flowing in their veins, could possess the powers of the jade seal?
