Chapter 588: Jubaoxuan (Part 3)

Shui Miao now took the form of Zhao Tianyi and was protected by his innate supreme treasure, so naturally he was not afraid of this Xian Emperor (Immortal Emperor). Thus, Shui Miao confronted the Immortal Emperor head-on, spreading his divine consciousness to sense him.

The Immortal Emperor was nearby, hiding behind a clothing stall. He appeared as a middle-aged man with a fierce and sinister look. As Shui Miao sensed his presence, his heart began to pound even more violently.

Clearly, Shui Miao’s strength was no match for this Immortal Emperor.

Unwilling to back down, Shui Miao immediately joined forces with two artifact spirits, unleashing the Dream Demon Cultivation Technique and the Heaven Demon Cultivation Technique toward the Immortal Emperor.

“Demons?”

The Immortal Emperor suddenly felt dizzy. Startled, he smashed the table beside him with one palm, leaping to his feet and drawing a long sword from his waist. As he strode toward Shui Miao, he transmitted his voice directly into Shui Miao’s mind: “Who exactly are you? Why have you come to disrupt things in my Ninth Heaven? Are you trying to rebel against Heaven itself?”

The sound of the Immortal Emperor shattering the table instantly silenced the entire JBX (Jewel Gathering Pavilion).

Shui Miao quickly activated all his treasures, stepping out from the shop with a cold laugh and loudly declaring, “So it’s Peng Kun Immortal Emperor! I wondered who it could be. Never thought I’d see the mighty ruler of the Ninth Heaven hiding here, indulging in such despicable and underhanded dealings!”

Shui Miao’s words were bold and defiant, showing no respect whatsoever to Peng Kun.

“…”

The gathered immortals were all shocked by these words.

The legendary Peng Kun Immortal Emperor had actually appeared here, engaging in some shady business?

What kind of despicable deeds could it be? Everyone was suddenly extremely interested in the topic.

Peng Kun’s face was filled with murderous intent as he glared fiercely at Shui Miao. “Boy, you dare insult my majesty. No matter who you are, you won’t leave here alive today.”

“Oh? Getting angry? The legendary Peng Kun Immortal Emperor has such a narrow heart? I thought the great Peng Kun was an upright and noble gentleman, but it turns out he’s just a dark-hearted, despicable, and vile little man!” Shui Miao’s tone was sarcastic, unafraid of Peng Kun, because he had already discovered that the techniques activated by the two artifact spirits had infiltrated Peng Kun’s mind, revealing fragments of his thoughts.

He was now furious—extremely so.

Yet deep inside, he felt uncertain, fearing defeat and the loss of his reputation.

“You’re asking for death!”

Suddenly, Peng Kun shifted his intent and immediately summoned a top-grade immortal artifact, the Beast-Imprisoning Cage, attempting to trap Shui Miao and test his strength.

Shui Miao narrowed his eyes and decided to launch a lightning-fast assault to deliver a warning shot to Peng Kun.

Suddenly, Shui Miao fully activated his time-based protective treasure, swiftly darting before Peng Kun. Before Peng Kun could react, Shui Miao unleashed his full strength, striking the Beast-Imprisoning Cage with one palm. The immense power of his innate supreme treasure surged into the top-grade immortal artifact, disrupting its internal energy field. Seizing the moment, Shui Miao manipulated his consciousness, instantly deciphering the formation secrets of this artifact. A surge of yin-yang and five-element immortal energy entered the artifact’s core, directly altering its formation, triggering a self-destruct sequence!

“Eh!?”

Peng Kun never expected the talkative Shui Miao to suddenly attack. He was momentarily stunned.

Thinking back, Peng Kun hadn’t fought anyone in nearly two thousand years.

By the time he realized what Shui Miao was doing, it was already too late. With a deafening boom, the top-grade immortal artifact, the Beast-Imprisoning Cage, exploded. The entire JBX was overturned by the shockwave, its roof blown off. Immortals were either killed or injured, and chaos erupted.

Peng Kun, protected by his supreme treasure, naturally emerged unscathed.

But Peng Kun never expected that the artifact he had just summoned would be destroyed so quickly!

It was a humiliation—an utter and complete humiliation.

He quickly spread his divine sense and discovered that Shui Miao had already seized the Icebound Domain treasure. Shocked, Peng Kun immediately activated his supreme treasure, the Heaven Canopy Sword, and gave chase.

“Despicable villain, you dare ambush me!”

Peng Kun, possessing dozens of supreme treasures, was naturally unafraid of Shui Miao.

With a mere thought, he activated dozens of supreme treasures.

Shui Miao had no sword of his own, relying only on his teleportation technique. Compared to Peng Kun’s Heaven Canopy Sword, it was like comparing a runner to a speeding car—completely outmatched.

Seeing Peng Kun rapidly closing in, Shui Miao felt a surge of alarm.

Peng Kun was like a peacock spreading its tail, dozens of supreme treasures circling him, radiating a terrifying aura capable of shaking the heavens.

Sensing Peng Kun’s terrifying might, Shui Miao realized how insignificant he was.

Shui Miao dared not risk his innate supreme treasure in a head-on clash with Peng Kun—it was impossible to match him in numbers.

“Peng Kun Immortal Emperor, if you want to kill me, wait until your next life!”

Shui Miao was no pushover. Although the situation was dire, he still believed he could escape and even inflict serious injuries on Peng Kun.

It would just come at a heavy cost.

As Peng Kun was about to catch up to Shui Miao and launch an attack, a sudden blinding white light flashed before his eyes, and the scenery abruptly changed!

It was the Icebound Domain supreme treasure being activated.

“Cursed!”

Peng Kun had not anticipated that the supreme treasure Icebound Domain, which he had used to lure in the wealthy elite before ambushing and robbing them, would now be turned against him by Shui Miao.

The Icebound Domain treasure expanded rapidly, instantly covering a vast area. Within this domain, the air temperature plummeted sharply, snowflakes swirling in the air, creating unbearable cold.

Now facing a dilemma, Peng Kun either had to stay trapped inside or destroy the supreme treasure.

Destroying one of his own supreme treasures was a painful decision—he was deeply reluctant to do so.

After all, half of his supreme treasures were bestowed by the Celestial Court for hosting tournament matches. Besides his sword and protective artifacts, he only had two genuine offensive supreme treasures.

But he had no choice. If he didn’t destroy the treasure, he would be trapped inside, unable to escape.

Yet destroying a supreme treasure meant damaging one of his own.

It was like using a wooden blade to break into a wooden house—both the blade and the house would suffer damage.

“Boom!”

A deafening explosion echoed through the skies.

Just as Peng Kun was about to use a supreme treasure to break the formation, the Icebound Domain treasure suddenly exploded!

Indeed, this was Shui Miao’s grand plan.

At this moment, Shui Miao had already flown far away. He had altered the formation and set the artifact spirits to trigger the explosion at the appointed time.

The self-destruction of a supreme treasure unleashed an incredible power.

In an instant, the entire Immortal Capital Mountain cracked from the explosion.

Everything in the shockwave’s path was utterly destroyed beyond recognition.

Countless immortals were instantly killed!

Since Peng Kun was at the epicenter of the explosion, his protective treasure was directly destroyed, and other supreme treasures sustained varying degrees of damage. His immortal body was severely injured, his internal energy chaotic, and his spiritual power thrown into disarray, almost triggering a self-destruct reaction within himself!

“Madman! This madman actually detonated a supreme treasure! That was a supreme treasure!”

Peng Kun was stunned by Shui Miao’s madness.

At this moment, Peng Kun’s heart was filled with shock. He couldn’t imagine what kind of lunatic would treat a supreme treasure like a firecracker to be casually exploded.

This was an opponent he never wanted to face again in his lifetime—this guy was simply insane!

Knowing the immense value of supreme treasures, Peng Kun’s heart trembled with profound shock.
