Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 390 - A Harrowing Scene

The two attacks collided and exploded, shocking the surrounding experts.

“With just a finger!?”

****

“Who is this person!?”

“Where did he come from!?”

Discussions popped up once more after this display. Sure Heavenly Sun Noble didn’t call upon her cauldrons but she used a spiritual artefact while this person used his finger and yet he was able to match her!?

Apart from those sect master-level existences from the Ten Great Sects, who else could do this!?

“You!”

Heavenly Sun Noble’s eyes narrowed when she saw this.

D-D-D-D-Dum!

Nine supreme-grade cauldrons materialised in full operation. Four of them flashed with a spiritual light marking Heavenly Sun Noble as a Four Core Martial Adept!

Shu!

Suddenly, Tan Yongzheng appeared right before her, shocking not just her but Violet Flame Noble and Wei Yun who were behind her, too.

‘So fast!’ was the thought running through their heads right then.

Tan Yongzheng then grabbed the sword before a claw strike headed for Heavenly Sun Noble’s neck!

Vhwoosh!

A plume of purple fire erupted to his left but Tan Yongzheng simply flung Heavenly Sun Noble’s sword through the flames.

“Gah!”

A shout of pain followed by the flames sputtering out let him know that his aim rang true.

“Grkh!”

His hands coiled tightly around Heavenly Sun Noble’s neck, causing her to gag. She couldn’t move right now. If she tried anything, all he had to do was put a little more force in his grip and he could kill her.

Tan Yongzheng’s gaze slowly slid towards Wei Yun. “You’re not going to make a move?”

“What I want and what you want is the same thing,” she stated coldly.

Tan Yongzheng’s expression became a touch more severe when he heard this. He then directed his gaze back towards the ice carriage and then back at her before enlightenment dawned.

“So it is hers. Where is the Divine Daughter?”

“Do you think you’re qualified to come into contact with her? To ask where she is?”

Tan Yongzheng didn’t react adversely to this. Even in his arrogance, he knew that were certain people he couldn’t deal with.

He then tore his attention from her. She was from Ice Phoenix, and this made him weary. Even he didn’t wish to antagonise this behemoth.

Luckily, her goals aligned with his, so there shouldn’t be any problem. Both took a step back. Wei Yun wouldn’t interfere with him and he wouldn’t trouble her.

His gaze then landed on Violet Flame Noble and he saw the latter kneeling down as he bled profusely from his shoulder. The sword he flung at him was injected with his aura, so he wouldn’t be able to heal from it so easily.

Yet, even in the face of this, Wei Yun didn’t act. Her expression was one of icy indifference.

When everyone saw that Tan Yongzheng and Ice Star Yun came to some sort of mysterious agreement their expressions fell.

“T-They lost…”

When these words were uttered, an air of despondency set in.

The Five Nobles and the Seven Heroes weren’t just the most outstanding experts of the younger generation, they were also their mental pillar. They were a goal to strive for, and role models to take after.

If the Seven Heroes couldn’t handle it, then the Five Heroes were there. That was the saying that pervaded the younger generation. However, that saying no longer held any power.

It didn’t make any sense if Untethered Monk made an appearance or not. Tan Yongzheng’s overwhelming combat prowess shattered their confidence.

Tan Yongzheng redirected his gaze towards Heavenly Sun Noble. His expression slowly turned wretched.

“I think I’ll cripple your cultivation before turning you into my bed warmer. That should shave away that unattractive temperament of yours.”

Dum!

“Enough!” An elder stepped out from the crowd with his cultivation on full display.

Nine high-grade cauldrons spun frenziedly behind him!

Whoosh!

The air shuddered before it was kicked up into a frenzy under their operation!

Shing!

All nine of them were inlaid with cores that shone with a red hue, marking these as not just cores, but star cores!

This was a peak Martial Master that stepped out!

“Youngsters can fight to hone themselves, but you have gone too far! An expert can be beaten but not humiliated! I will take the role of your master to discipline you!”

This elder came from one of the top regular sects that specialised in fire-attributed abilities.

Because of the nature of his cultivation techniques, his temper was bad. So when he saw how Tan Yongzheng acted, he couldn’t control himself anymore and stepped out. Nothing else mattered to him except teaching Tan Yongzheng a lesson!

The old man who stood behind Tan Yongzheng was about to step forward when the latter stopped him.

He stared at this elder who faced him with righteous indignation. He then carelessly threw Heavenly Sun Noble to the side like trash. He left some of his energy in her, causing her to use the bulk of her core energy to stave against it.

As a result, she was powerless to do anything else.

Tan Yongzheng eyed some of the elders and protectors that came with the Seven Heroes.

“You seem to think I’m afraid of you all. To me, you’re all trash.”

As soon as he said this, everyone’s expression darkened. Immediately, some of the elders and protectors from the Ten Great Sects stepped forward, but when they did, the old man did the same and their hearts shook.

It seemed the old man was willing to allow Martial Masters to make a move but no one above that level was allowed to interfere.

Tan Yongzheng did a ‘come hither,’ finger gesture at the elder who stepped out to face him. “Come on. Let me see what you dogs of the lower realm can do.”

Veins bulged on the elder’s head when he saw how this junior treated him with disdain.

“Disrespectful brat!”

Boom!

The elder shot after Tan Yongzheng with a halberd that released a terrifying heatwave.

This was a Low-Grade Mortal-rank spiritual artefact!

Tan Yongzheng was slightly surprised that a random elder from this backwater place had a half-decent spiritual artefact, but he wasn’t worried.

D-D-D-Dum!

Nine cauldrons exploded into existence behind him. As everyone expected, all nine were orange, revealing them as supreme-gade cauldrons.

Five cauldrons were inlaid with cores that flashed with an unusual level of spirituality. However, it was obvious from his aura that he was a Martial Adept.

There was something different about it, though. It felt several times heavier than a normal Martial Adept.

He then took out a sapphire spear that continuously rippled with energy. Its spiritual fluctuations were a whole class higher than the elder’s spiritual artefact!

By the time he took out the spear, the elder was already before him!

“Die!” The elder plunged the halberd towards Tan Yongzheng’s throat!

Boom!

The path it took broke down as the halberd’s blades erupted into flames!

It instantly set fire to the nearby trees and weaker experts had to back off to avoid being implicated by its power!

“Hmph!”

A wave of energy flowed into Tan Yongzheng’s spear and its rippling energy exploded!

Tan Yongzheng thrust the spear towards the elder’s head and the rippling energy sent the halberd off course!

This, in turn, caused the elder’s killing blow to miss completely before it stabbed at the elder’s forehead!

Bang!

Psssh!

The spear hit the elder’s qi armour, which successfully took enough power from the blow that it no longer posed a danger.

The elder quickly took this opportunity to back off from the attack.

However, he saw everything looking at him in horror. He then saw the condition of his qi armour.

There was a hole with fractures spreading from it in his armour. This meant that Tan Yongzheng wasn’t just a normal Martial Adept, but was a Martial Adept with the ability to break through his defences, thus killing him.

The place went silent when this fact sunk him. Tan Yongzheng and this elder were divided by an entire major realm and several minor ones, yet he was able to traverse that chasm and kill him!?

How did this make sense!?

They refused to believe it. They attributed this to the spiritual artefact that Tan Yongzheng wielded. If this was Tan Yongzheng’s power alone, then this would topple their understanding of the cultivation world.

Shu!

Suddenly, Tan Yongzheng rushed towards the elder and the latter put up a hasty block with his spear to block it!

Once again the spear knocked it aside with little trouble, angering the elder finally!

He then chucked the halberd away, slapped both palms together and roared, “Blazing Condemnation!”

The elder’s cauldrons’ rotation speed quickened and the heat from their star cores caused the ground below them to glow red!

Boom!

Just then, a massive eruption of flames like a world-ending super volcano exploded!

It engulfed the two figures, and the flames shot up into the Heavens and banished the clouds away for miles around!

The sky vault changed colour to a deep orange before the heatwave spread, followed by the growing size of the eruption!

The crowd had to back off even further with some elders and protectors taking the disciples before making a run for it!

Several elders made sure to move the Seven Heroes and the Nobles, lest they die, especially in their weakened states.

“That’s the Blazing Roaring Sect’s Immolation Technique!” One person from the crowd recognised this move.

“What this skill brother!?” One person asked.

“It’s a technique that allows the elder to ignite his entire energy into a blazing eruption. His power will also skyrocket. However, if his energy runs out before he can end the battle, he will die from his own technique!”

“So vicious!” The people here sucked in a cold breath of air when they heard the elder’s explanation.

“However, that youth should be dead now. Once those madmen from the Blazing Roaring Sect get angry, they lose all sense of reasoning. At that point, they become a major pain to deal with,” said the same elder. “This is the full power eruption of a peak Martial Master. There’s no way he can survive this.”

However, people saw Heavenly Sun Noble, Violet Flame Noble and the others in addition to a few powerful elders staring at this pillar of fire with a look of trepidation.

When they turned their attention to the pillar, a harrowing scene was presented to them.
