Ultimate Scheming System Chapter 1411 - Boy, You’re Done For

The intense rumbling caused huge boulders to drop, and a thick dust began to roll through. The entire cave was collapsing.

Xu Que watched attentively as he sighed with regret in his heart.

He had reaped so much from the journey that he should have been thanking b.u.t.tface. “Had it not for the dunce who recalled the memories of his sixth life just in time, perhaps I could not have escaped this calamity,” he thought.

It had been hard to predict his life or death since the beginning, and to have smoothly swallowed all the enlightenment at the end could only be a miracle.

He was already looking forward to how the Sage Sect was going to fight him when he returned to the Heaven Continent.

As she looked at Xu Que, Xuanyuan Wanrong spoke up again and asked, “Are you sure you’re going to go out like this?”

Xu Que could not help but frown, thinking, “Why is this woman asking the same question over and over? Is it possible that it will be really dangerous when I go out?”

Xuanyuan Wanrong coolly added two words. “Heavenly Tribulation!”

Xu Que suddenly realized, “Heavenly Tribulation!”

It was indeed a tiny hidden danger. In the past, the Heavenly Tribulations that he had overcome were at a major cultivation stage. Even if the difficulty factor was very high, it did not pose a threat, but it was different this time. He was avoiding the Heavenly Tribulation from the four major cultivation stages at present.

“From the Earth Celestial Stage to the Heaven Celestial Stage, and then from the Heaven Celestial Stage to the Golden Celestial Stage, after which was the Golden Celestial Stage to the Taiyi Celestial Stage, and finally the Taiyi Celestial Stage to the Celestial Stage of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, there were four great Heavenly Tribulations!

“If these Heavenly Tribulations were to arrive together, the power would probably be extraordinary!”

b.u.t.tface also realized this and said in alarm, “Oh my G.o.d, boy, once you leave the Spiritual Eye position, the Heavenly Tribulation will immediately come. We are so close to you in distance. Ah, it will be terrible if by any chance we are implicated!”

He was not worried about Xu Que but afraid of being implicated and having to accompany Xu Que to traverse the calamity.

But b.u.t.tface had reminded Xu Que of something. “Supposing the Spiritual Eye is open… the Heavenly Tribulation would immediately arrive. Then not only would I be together with b.u.t.tface, but I’d also have to consider Xuanyuan Wanrong!”

Originally the difficulty level of the four Heavenly Tribulations was exceedingly high. If he included the existence of someone like Xuanyuan Wanrong who was at the Celestial Prime level, and just in case she interacted with the Heavenly Tribulation, then the whole power of the Heavenly Tribulation would also be raised to the Celestial Prime level.

Xu Que hurriedly looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong and said, “Shoot, I almost forgot about this, Xuanyuan Wanrong. How about you go out first, and don’t stand next to me!” He looked like he was trying to stay away from her to avoid the plague.

In case the formidable power of the Heavenly Tribulation was raised to the Celestial Prime level, even if he was of Holy Physique, he might not be able to withstand it for long!

“I’ll go out first, and the Heavenly Tribulation will come nonetheless!” Xuanyuan Wanrong lightly shook her head.

Whether Xu Que went out first or she did, they needed to open the Spiritual Eye Mountain. Once that happened, the Heavenly Tribulation would come as usual. It made no difference.

“c.r.a.p, then I may as well traverse a d.a.m.n Heavenly Tribulation! Ah, as it turns out, the time for real danger is now!” Xu Que immediately stared straight ahead and became speechless. He looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong with a strange face.

“This woman is too much trouble,” he thought. “She’s obviously more powerful by a level, but she always implicates me, the Act Tough Saint! First, she was almost offered as a sacrifice at the Heaven & Earth Furnace. Now, she’s stuck here and can affect the difficulty level of the Heavenly Tribulation at any time. Ah, there’s really no advantage to be had whatsoever!”

“Boy, how about Your Holiness digs a tunnel again and leaves!” b.u.t.tface suggested. He was ready to start a new path of his own and get out of there.

“It’s no use. During my cultivation, the reason I could avoid the Heavenly Tribulations was because the Heaven & Earth Furnace hides this place from view. No matter where I go, if I come into contact with the outside realm, the Heavenly Tribulation will come!” Xu Que said helplessly.

He had not thought about the matter of Heavenly Tribulation before, but now that it was mentioned, he also appraised the surrounding terrain and, hence, completely cut off the idea of acting separately.

The place was like a ball, blocking everything from the outside realm. If a hole was cracked open, though, the Heavenly Tribulation would descend like a flood and rush in from the crack. No one would be able to escape.

With a whoosh, Xuanyuan Wanrong suddenly clasped her hands and gave a wave to take out a black-colored amulet.

She handed the amulet to Xu Que and said indifferently, “Stick this on your body!”

Xu Que was taken aback. He had seen a lot of yellow amulets, but it was his first time seeing a black one.

b.u.t.tface looked at the amulet with horror and immediately exclaimed in surprise, “F*ck, this is a Divine Talisman!”

The two words, Divine Talisman, said it all.

Xu Que opened his mouth and was somewhat startled, thinking, “The level of this amulet must be very high!”

He asked, “Is it possible that it is an amulet used by a deity?”

“No, this is an amulet refined by a deity!” b.u.t.tface said excitedly, wis.h.i.+ng he could rush forward to s.n.a.t.c.h it.

An object like this amulet, whether from the age of deities or the current era, was absolutely a rarely seen and precious item. Anyone who saw it would be tempted by it.

But now, Xuanyuan Wanrong had directly taken out a Divine Talisman and bestowed it to Xu Que, causing b.u.t.tface to be exceptionally envious.

Xuanyuan Wanrong spoke up to explain, revealing the effect of this black Divine Talisman. “This is a Prohibition Amulet, which can seal your own cultivation, achieve your aim by underhanded means, and let you temporarily avoid the Heavenly Tribulation! But once the Prohibition Amulet is accessed, then the formidable power of the Heavenly Tribulation you are about to face will also increase!”

Without saying another word, Xu Que immediately sacrificed the amulet and attached it to his own body.

He basically did not need to consider this kind of thing. Everything was good as long as he could avoid the Heavenly Tribulation.

One was a Heavenly Tribulation of Celestial Prime level, and the other was a Heavenly Tribulation of the Great All-Embracing Heaven level with its formidable power greatly enhanced. “Any fool knows how to choose,” he thought.

Immediately after attaching the amulet to his body, a whoosh sound sailed through the air, and Xu Que felt a current instantly fill his entire body. It interwove into a power grid and disappeared inside of him.

Then, Celestial Core Power inside his Dantian instantly split. A large part of Celestial Core Power was completely enveloped and isolated by the power grid.

Xu Que’s cultivation stage also plummeted in an instant. From the Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven Stage, it fell back to the peak of the Human Celestial Stage in one shot, even lower than his initial cultivation stage.

“F*ck, this is too harsh. Can’t you at least let me keep my Earth Celestial Stage? Can’t you?” Xu Que was astonished and looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong, who thought, “It’s really a cla.s.sic case of beggars can’t be choosers!”

Xuanyuan Wanrong could not be bothered with Xu Que and had already averted her gaze to look up to the sky.

The rupture of the cave was almost complete. They would be able to go out once the upper layer was completely broken and a gap appeared.

“Well, it looks like it’s time to traverse the Heavenly Tribulations at the same time!” Xu Que declared with a look of depression.

He now knew what Xuanyuan Wanrong meant when she said that the formidable power of the Heavenly Tribulation would slightly increase after the Prohibition Amulet was unsealed.

Originally, he had wanted to cross the Heavenly Tribulation, which was the four great Heavenly Tribulations between the Earth Celestial Stage and the Celestial Stage of the Great All-Embracing Heaven.

Now, however, his cultivation was sealed to the Human Celestial Stage to deceive the heaven. Once the prohibition was lifted in the future, he would have to start traversing from the Human Celestial Stage again all the way to the Celestial Stage of the Great All-Embracing Heaven.

Suddenly, a deafening noise rang out inside the cave.

The top layer finally cracked and completely collapsed. A ray of light s.h.i.+ned in through the huge crack.

Xu Que’s lips curled upward into a smile. “Finally, I’m going out!” he thought.

“F*ck, does Your Holiness catch a familiar whiff of smell?” b.u.t.tface suddenly exclaimed, looking upward at the crack in astonishment and vigorously crinkling his nose.

Soon after, he turned to look at Xu Que and winked as he said, “Boy, you are done for. That’s the breath of Duan Jiude’s master!”
