Ultimate Scheming System

Sou!

The three colored fiery lotus shot into the air, and moved graciously like a leaf floating above the surface of water.

The Fire Emperor took the form of a large, majestic golden dragon in the air. It produced a terrifying aura around it as it soared towards Xu Que.

At this point, the three colored fiery lotus appeared right before his eyes.

Everyone’s eyelids jumped. Compared to the Fire Emperor’s Flaming Dragon, Xu Que’s three colored lotus couldn’t really compare in fearsomeness. Could the fiery lotus really survive the Fire Emperor’s skill?

At the next moment, the fiery lotus exploded!

The three colored mystical flames ejected out of the lotus in sync, causing an immense explosion.

The power emanating from the explosion was at least 30 times stronger than his Killer Book with full Glory!

"Boom!"

The skies erupted in terrifying explosions as though it was about to swallow the heavens along with it.

The Fire Emperor’s body had been completely engulfed in flames, with him being right in the middle of it all. A huge ripple of energy coursed out from the epicenter as it dispersed through the skies.

The shockwave from the blast richoted throughout the entire land. The imperial palace was swaying from the impact of the blast while the ground beneath cracked.

Even Xu Que wasn’t expecting such power from the three colored lotus. The shockwave was sent out in all directions for several hundred meters.

Emerging out from the explosion, the Fire Emperor was falling uncontrollably from the skies before he landed on the roof, directly atop the throne room.

"Boom!"

The gold plated rooftop of the palace couldn’t handle the immense size and weight of the Fire Emperor who had taken the form of a huge dragon. A large crater formed within the roof and broke through, causing the Fire Emperor to fall right through into the throne room. When he landed, a loud crash could be heard.

The explosion was still chaining out in rapid succession, causing huge fiery ripples to crumple within the skies, painting the entire sky a bright shade of red.

The people on the ground were astonished by this sight.

A single lotus stalk could cause such devastating damage and immense strength! Even someone as powerful as the Fire Emperor was sent flying!

This... This was truly something that could destroy the heaven and earth!

"It’s too scary. The Fire Emperor is at level six of the Infant Transformation Stage and yet he was unable to defend himself successfully against the lotus!"

"What kind of fire was that? It even caused the air around to burn and contort!"

"A youth of the Original Infant Stage could muster such a powerful spell? Could it truly be given to him by Duan Jiu De?"

"But is Duan Jiu De really that powerful?"

"If he had directed that terrifying energy towards the ground, the entire Imperial Palace would explode and collapse!"

Many of them were beyond afraid and they felt like their hearts were about to jump out through their throats!

The Flaming Sun Princess and the rest outside the throne room watched on in utter disbelief with their eyes wide open.

To them, the most powerful cultivator they knew was the Fire Emperor who was of the Infant Transformation Stage level six. However, he had been defeated just like that!

That Xu Que... Truly, how strong is he?

The few of them turned to look into the throne room. The Fire Emperor’s body had broke right through the ceiling and even caused a huge crater on the ground. Furthermore, rocks and debris were strewn all around!

What was most scary was that the Fire Emperor didn’t budge an inch as he remained lying down on the ground!

"How... How’s this possible?" Concubine Fantasy’s face turned pale as she cried out.

Someone as awe inspiring and powerful as the Fire Emperor couldn’t even endure this blow? Has he suffered such severe injuries that he had passed out as a result?

The few of them looked at the Fire Emperor and were appalled. A certain sense of dread and fear overwhelmed them.

As for Xu Que, he had already flown back and was hovering over the throne room.

Earlier on, even he was thrown back in a short distance from the impact but wasn’t hurt at all. His face was filled with smiles as the system rang out consecutively within his head, telling him of the amount of act tough points he had earned.

At this point, he shouted out in an exaggerated voice once again, "Dog Emperor, come on out!"

"Are you afraid? But that was only just a warm up!"

"Quickly come out and fight it out with me! Fuck, I haven’t even activated my true powers yet!"

"Come, come, come... If you come out now, I shall give you a handicap... I shan’t use my legs!"

"Hello, hello, hello... Is anyone there? Hurry up, won’t you? If you don’t, the sun is going to set!"

Xu Que’s voice was very sonorous and it was filled with confidence as it echoed across the walls of the palace.

Everyone’s lips twitched into a snarl. Damn it, must you be so dramatic?

"Boom!"

All of a sudden, there was finally some reaction from within the throne room as a loud sound rang out. The Fire Emperor’s body shot up from within the room and back into the skies as killing intent surrounded him once more.

However, the Emperor was in an extremely poor shape right now.

His lips were stained with blood and the expensive and immaculate looking set of dragon embroidered robes had become tattered and torn from the force of the blast.

"Hssss!" The crowd inhaled deeply as they were astounded to see their monarch in such a pathetic state!

Besides, that set of dragon robe was a Six Star magical weapon yet it’s been destroyed!

Even those people who were standing extremely far away from the point of impact could feel the terrifying power of the three colored lotus. Indeed, everyone had underestimated its capabilities!

The fiery lotus had exploded right in front of the Fire Emperor which meant that he had absorbed the full impact of the blast. If it weren’t for the fact that his cultivation level was very high, along with the dragon robes which helped to absorb some damage as well as the Imperial Qi which protected him, he would’ve turned into ashes!

And yet he was still alive. The formless Imperial Qi which protected him meant that he was undefeatable here within the domains of the palace.

"Looks like the Fire Emperor has wasted a considerable amount of Imperial Qi!"

"The source of this Imperial Qi comes from the Imperial Tombs which was located on top of the dragon veins. The Imperial Qi also represents the prosperity of the nation. Strong Imperial Qi meant that the nation was doing well and its people were protected. However,in this battle, the Fire Emperor used a significant amount of Imperial Qi to protect him."

"Do not forget that within the Imperial Tombs, there are several generations of previous Emperors who are in deep sleep. Even though they’ve been in hibernation for a long time, they can still defend the integrity of the Fire Nation!"

"Don’t underestimate the Emperor, for he has many more tricks up his sleeves. That was to be expected of someone from the royal family!"

Everyone broke out in hushed discussion.

Indeed, the Fire Emperor hovered in mid air. His face was downcast but he stared at Xu Que and laughed out, "You cannot kill me. I am ordained by the heavens as your Emperor. No matter how strong you are, you won’t be able to destroy my body. And now, it’s my turn to strike!"

As soon as his words landed, the Fire Emperor waved his clenched fist, causing the ground beneath the palace to tremble. Stones and debris flew in all directions as an unspeakable wave of power seemed to roil from underground. When it finally emerged, the energy surrounded his body!

"This..."

Flaming Sun Princess and the rest of them watched the situation with their eyes wide open. "Father is using the hundred year old Imperial QI. This... This would cause our Fire Nation to become weaker since he was drawing the ancient energy!"

"Fire Emperor has already made up his mind to kill Xu Que despite the cost!" Zi Xuan shouted out.

Indeed, Xu Que who was hovering in the air laughed out, his lips curled into a snarl, "Dog Emperor, are you going to show me yet another ultimate skill? Come, come, come.. This time, I shall let you eat some of my Monkey Blocks Lightning skill!"

As soon as he said this, he raised his palms to the skies. Immediately, it started to rumble as streaks of lightning appeared!

"Weng!"

A sharp sound rang out which shattered the silence and pierced through the air. At the next moment, frenzied rays of electricity started to form on Xu Que’s palms as it became bigger!

Everyone watched on in amazement.

This... This kid has so many spells. He really has an arsenal of weapons to choose from!

And isn’t he a citizen of the Fire Nation? How could he exhibit such powerful looking lightning spell? And it feels so powerful even from here!

The Fire Emperor’s expression fell as well. Even he was astonished. It was hard for him to believe that within a year, this person had improved so rapidly.

What have you gone through to become so strong?

"Boom!"

"I throw this bolt of lightning at your mum!"

(T/N: Or can also be "Fuck your mum!")

At this point, the lightning arcs within his hands had increased in size, such that it was as huge as his body. He then tossed the entire ball of electric energy towards the Fire Emperor!

"Ignorant little worm!"

The Fire Emperor cleared his throat as he clapped his hands gently. The Imperial Qi which had been seeping out from the cracks in the ground immediately formed a wall of energy which can defend him from any projectiles.

At that moment...

A loud "boom" rang out as the huge ball of electrical energy appeared right before him and exploded with immense intensity!
