The Ultimate Elder Descends! 5000 Combat Power Crushes All, Saiyan Unleashes Full Power!

The deep mountains had long since returned to calm, but the hundred-meter-wide crater, the flattened hills, and the wood chips and dust drifting through the sky all silently testified to the terror of the battle just now. Ximen Qing sat on a bluestone before the cave, golden energy flowing slowly around him. His power level of 3,580 remained steady, and every breath drew in the ambient energy of heaven and earth, automatically restoring his aura at high speed—thanks to the aura recovery boost he had unlocked earlier, even after firing the Super Ki Cannon at full force, he had already recovered more than half.

Grandpa Gohan was gathering dry grass nearby, the awe in his eyes already etched into his very bones. From time to time, he secretly glanced at that tiny figure, unable to keep a proud smile from spreading across his lips. There was only one thought in his heart: This child truly could defy heaven. From a swaddled infant, he had grown step by step into a war god capable of instantly killing a powerful fighter with 3,000 power. This was simply an unprecedented miracle.

"3,580 power... Saiyan Burst, Power Suppression, Intermediate Super Ki Cannon, and initial bloodline awakening, increasing the speed of power growth by 20%..." Ximen Qing gently clenched his fist, sensing the river-like power surging through his body. Faint golden energy curled around his fingertips, and a cocky curve lifted at the corner of his lips. "With my current strength, even a few top fighters like Cassius would only take one shot. Among Frieza's subordinates, there probably aren't many who could withstand my Intermediate Super Ki Cannon, right?"

With a thought, he instinctively activated the newly unlocked passive skill, [Power Suppression]. An invisible wave slowly spread outward from him. The little bugs in the surrounding grass instantly froze before collapsing limply to the ground. Even birds in flight were affected by the wave, their wings going weak as they plummeted headfirst from the sky. Clearly, the strength within their bodies had been forcibly suppressed by thirty percent—this was the power of Power Suppression. Against enemies weaker than himself, he could gain an absolute advantage without even lifting a hand.

"Hmph. Those weaker than me don't even have the right to resist." Ximen Qing sneered and slowly withdrew Power Suppression, his eyes full of smug satisfaction. He was already impatient to find stronger enemies, test the full might of Saiyan Burst combined with the Intermediate Super Ki Cannon, and break through to an even higher power level.

Just then—

Bzzzz—!!!

An aura so terrifying that it changed the color of heaven and earth and made mountains and rivers tremble crashed straight toward Earth from the edge of the universe! This aura made no attempt to conceal itself and did not approach gradually. Instead, like a burning meteor carrying world-destroying pressure, it pierced through the atmosphere in an instant and descended upon these deep mountains with a thunderous boom! Its pressure was so overwhelming that the air throughout the mountain range froze solid. Gale-force winds reversed direction, the clouds shattered, the ground sank slightly, and fine cracks began spreading through the rocks!

The ease and smugness on Ximen Qing's face vanished instantly. His gaze sharpened, and the golden energy around him instinctively tensed. His enhanced Advanced Ki Sense operated at full capacity, locking firmly onto that terrifying aura—this aura was more than twice as strong as Cassius's. It was domineering and violent, mixed with a dense aura of ancient Saiyan bloodline. Its oppressive force surpassed every enemy he had faced before. Even with Royal Aura Immunity, he could feel a trace of bone-piercing chill!

"This aura..." Ximen Qing's voice remained soft and childlike, but it carried a measure of gravity. "It's more than twice as strong as Cassius! It has to be the ultimate powerhouse sent by the Saiyan homeworld!"

[Ding! Ultimate combat power from the Saiyan homeworld detected descending!]

[Target: Saiyan Tribe Great Elder—Zaka!]

[Power Level: 5000!]

[Identity: The foremost figure beneath the leader of the Saiyan Tribe. He possesses ancient Saiyan bloodline secret arts and specializes in the ultimate killing technique—Bloodline Shattering Fist. His combat strength is formidable, allowing him to easily kill top fighters with 3,000 power. He once participated in suppressing a cosmic rebellion. His strength is terrifying!]

[Intent: Kill host Ximen Qing, extract the host's innate Saiyan bloodline, flatten Earth in tribute to fallen powerhouses such as the Locke Squad, Modo, and Cassius, and turn Earth into a subordinate outpost of the Saiyan Tribe!]

5,000 power!

Upon hearing the system prompt, not only did Ximen Qing feel no fear, but a crazed fighting spirit ignited within his eyes. A blazing light flashed in his gaze, and a cocky smile once again curved his lips. "Perfect! This is absolutely perfect! I was just worried that I didn't have a strong enough target to test all my strength on. I'll use this old bastard to break through 5,000 power and unlock even stronger abilities!"

Grandpa Gohan, standing nearby, had already been frightened pale by the utterly terrifying pressure. His legs went weak, his entire body shook without stopping, and he was nearly driven to his knees. Staggering over to Ximen Qing, he tightly grabbed the child's little hand, his voice trembling with panic and urgency. "Ximen Qing... he's too strong... this enemy... he's far too strong! Let's run! We need to find somewhere to hide right now. He definitely won't be able to find us!"

"Run?" Ximen Qing slowly rose to his feet. His tiny body stood proudly amid the raging winds, while the golden energy around him surged explosively. His power level of 3,580 began to leak out faintly, forcibly withstanding part of the pressure. "The word 'run' has never existed in my dictionary! Ever since I was reborn as a Saiyan infant, I never intended to flee from any enemy. The stronger the enemy, the better they serve as my stepping stone!"

He turned to look at Grandpa Gohan. Some of the arrogance faded from his face, replaced by firm resolve. "Grandpa Gohan, watch carefully—today, I'll show you just how strong the child you raised truly is! I'll instantly kill this old bastard, protect you, and protect the place where we live. I absolutely won't let him flatten Earth!"

Boom—!!!

As soon as he finished speaking, Ximen Qing stopped concealing himself. His 3,580 power burst forth without reservation, golden flames soaring into the heavens and colliding with the clouds overhead in a dull thunderclap. The gale was scattered by his energy, the air around him began to grow scorching hot, and the cracks in the ground deepened further and further!

In the distant sky, a pitch-black figure like a demon tore through the atmosphere. Like a god descending into the world, he stepped forward, causing space itself to warp and tremble. Violent energy interwoven with black and dark crimson swirled around him. It was the Saiyan Tribe's Great Elder—Zaka!

He stood nearly three meters tall, even more burly than Cassius. He wore a dark crimson elder's battle robe embroidered with patterns of ancient Saiyan bloodlines, the designs faintly glimmering with dark red light. A pale bloodline radiance flowed over his body. His face was aged yet savage, his forehead marked by the traces of time, but his gaze remained sharp. His eyes, like two burning stars, were locked firmly onto the tiny golden figure below. His gaze was filled with icy coldness, killing intent, and a faint curiosity that was difficult to detect.

Zaka slowly descended, hovering in midair as he stared at Ximen Qing. The pressure of his 5,000 power was unleashed without restraint, several times stronger than Cassius's previous pressure as it crashed down—the earth sank, rocks shattered, and the air let out a groan under the unbearable strain. Hills in the distance began to shake, broken stones tumbling down in torrents. The entire mountain range trembled beneath this pressure!

If it had been an ordinary fighter with 3,000 power, this pressure alone would have made them collapse to their knees, caused their power to plummet, or even crushed their internal organs outright. Yet Ximen Qing merely gave a cold laugh. With a thought, he activated two abilities at once!

[Royal Aura Immunity!]

[Power Suppression, Reverse Resistance!]

Bzzzz—

An invisible barrier instantly spread outward from Ximen Qing. The terrifying pressure released by Zaka was forcibly blocked outside the barrier and could not affect Ximen Qing in the slightest. Ximen Qing could even use Power Suppression to suppress thirty percent of Zaka's strength in reverse—although Zaka still retained 3,500 power after the thirty-percent suppression, equal to Ximen Qing's current power level, it was already enough to leave Zaka stunned!

"Hm?" Zaka's pupils shrank slightly, and for the first time, a shocked expression appeared on his face. His tone was full of disbelief. "A mere 3,580 power, yet you can withstand my pressure? You can even suppress my power in reverse? Interesting. No wonder Cassius, Modo, and the Locke Squad all fell at the hands of a tiny infant like you. You do have some tricks."

"Unfortunately, this little bit of strength still makes you an ant before me!" Once his shock passed, Zaka's gaze became cold and domineering again. His voice carried the arrogance and indifference of an ancient elder. "I have lived for over a thousand years and killed countless strong fighters. Even top fighters with 3,000 power could only kneel and beg for mercy before me. For a tiny infant like you to reach this point, you have every reason to be proud."

"I'll give you one chance—" Zaka looked down at him from above, his tone tyrannical and unquestionable. "Destroy your own cultivation, kneel on the ground, and willingly let me draw out your innate bloodline. I can leave you an intact corpse, spare this old man, and refrain from flattening these mountains. I'll leave you with a shred of dignity."

Ximen Qing threw back his head and laughed. His voice was soft and childlike, yet overflowing with domineering force as it echoed throughout the mountains, overpowering the howling wind. "Old bastard, are you still half asleep? Did living for over a thousand years turn your brain to mush? So what if you have 5,000 power? Even if your power is higher, today, I won't just kill you—I'll use you as a stepping stone to break straight through 5,000 power, unlock even stronger Saiyan bloodlines and abilities, and let you see who the true Saiyan powerhouse is!"

"Arrogant!" Zaka laughed in rage. The black and dark crimson flames around him surged violently, and his suppressed power forcibly broke through its restraints. His 5,000 power erupted without reservation once more, making his pressure even more terrifying. "You little thing that doesn't know the difference between life and death! Since you want to die, don't blame me for being ruthless! Today, I'll extract your bloodline and crush your body, so you understand the consequences of provoking the Great Elder of the Saiyan Tribe!"

"Die—Bloodline Shattering Fist!"

Boom—!!!

With an enraged roar, Zaka hesitated no longer. He clenched his fist and condensed all 5,000 points of power into it, while simultaneously activating an ancient bloodline secret art. Dense black energy and dark crimson bloodline power coiled around his fist as he smashed it viciously toward Ximen Qing with world-destroying killing intent and absolute tyranny! There were no flashy effects behind this punch—only the purest, most violent, most domineering power. Wherever the fist wind passed, space warped and collapsed, while the air was blown apart outright. A black fist-light formed, like a venomous serpent striking from its hole as it bore down on Ximen Qing. The ground in its path was gouged into a deep ravine, and its power was enough to smash an entire mountain to pieces!

"Perfect!" Ximen Qing's gaze suddenly turned razor-sharp. The golden energy around him became even more violent. He neither dodged nor evaded nor retreated. Instead, he charged directly toward Zaka's fist-light—he intended to confront Zaka's ultimate killing technique head-on and test the true power of Saiyan Burst!

"It's time—" Ximen Qing roared, chanting silently in his heart, "Saiyan core talent—Saiyan Burst! Activate!!!"

Bzzzz—Boom—!!!

A violent, domineering force capable of burning heaven and destroying earth exploded from every inch of Ximen Qing's flesh and every cell in his body! His originally golden aura was instantly stained with a layer of savage crimson. The flames around him became denser and more dazzling as they shot into the sky, colliding with Zaka's energy in a deafening explosion that made heaven and earth tremble violently!

The number representing his power level began soaring wildly—

3580 → 4000 → 5000 → 7160!

It doubled in an instant!

7,160 power!

Far beyond Zaka's 5,000 power—he was a full 2,160 power stronger than Zaka!

"What?!" Zaka's expression changed drastically, his pupils contracting to their limit. His face was full of disbelief, and even a trace of fear appeared. He abruptly halted his punch and let out a hoarse roar. "His power... doubled instantly?! From 3,580 to 7,160?! How is that possible?! How can the Saiyan Burst talent have such an overwhelming effect?! This doesn't conform to the Saiyan bloodline laws!"

He had lived for over a thousand years and seen countless Saiyan powerhouses. He had seen people unlock the Saiyan Burst talent before, but at most it could temporarily increase their power by fifty percent. He had never seen anyone double their strength instantly, much less leap directly from 3,580 to 7,160. This had already surpassed the limits of his understanding and even violated the laws of Saiyan bloodlines!

"There are plenty of things you think are impossible!" Ximen Qing's voice was icy, his gaze full of contempt and killing intent. He gave Zaka no time to react. His hands rapidly came together before his chest as an enormous amount of energy gathered madly, and all 7,160 points of power within him poured into that energy without reservation—Intermediate Super Ki Cannon, fully charged!

Golden and crimson ki rapidly gathered in his palm, forming a gigantic cannon three times larger than before. Its surface swirled with dazzling golden light and crimson patterns, laced with faint traces of black ki. It contained earth-shattering power, and as its muzzle aimed at Zaka, the pressure it radiated made Zaka's entire body stiffen, leaving him unable to move!

"Old bastard, taste the full power of my—Saiyan Burst plus Intermediate Super Ki Cannon!" Ximen Qing roared. His soft, childish voice was brimming with killing intent. "Take this—DIE!!!"

BOOM--------------!!!

A colossal cannon blast that seemed to pierce heaven and earth erupted from Ximen Qing's palm! The golden-crimson beam tore through the sky with a shrieking howl, smashing head-on into Zaka's unretracted fist and the black and dark-red ki surrounding him!

"No—!!! I won't accept this! I'm the Great Elder of the Saiyan Tribe! I can't lose to a baby!" Zaka let out an incomparably shrill scream. He desperately pushed his 5,000 battle power to its limit, trying to block the Super Ki Cannon. But the Intermediate Super Ki Cannon, empowered by 7,160 battle power, was simply too powerful. His strength was utterly insignificant before that massive blast!

The golden-crimson cannon instantly tore apart Zaka's fist force, shattered the ki barrier around him, and slammed viciously into his body! An utterly terrifying force engulfed Zaka in an instant. The piercing crack of his bones breaking rang out, and Zaka's scream abruptly ceased. His massive body flew straight backward like a kite with its string cut, smashing through several enormous boulders, collapsing half a mountain wall, and even piercing a distant hill. Finally, he crashed heavily into the ground. With a thunderous boom, the earth exploded into a massive crater. Zaka's body was blasted into fragments scattered across the sky, not even a trace of flesh remaining. Only the scraps of his elder's battle suit drifted slowly down. The Great Elder of the Saiyan Tribe, with 5,000 battle power, had been completely annihilated!

[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing the Great Elder of the Saiyan Tribe, Zaka (Battle Power: 5000). Massive experience reward obtained. Battle Power +1800 (Current Battle Power: 5380)! ]

Additional reward obtained: ki recovery speed increased by 100%; Advanced Ki Sense evolved into Ultimate Ki Sense (detection range expanded to 10,000 meters; can penetrate any obstacle and precisely lock onto an enemy's Battle Power and location)! ]

A dense stream of system notifications rang out. A warm current more violent than any before erupted from within Ximen Qing and swept through every cell in his body. An overwhelming sense of comfort and power flooded his limbs and bones. With his Saiyan bloodline fully awakened, the power within him became as vast as the universe. His battle power soared from 3,580—after Saiyan Burst ended—to 5,880, increasing by a full 2,300 points and achieving an unprecedented leap!

Saiyan Burst gradually faded, and the crimson ki around him slowly receded, returning to gold. Yet it was far denser and more dazzling than before. His 5,880 battle power settled firmly in place as Ultimate Ki Sense spread outward. Every movement within 10,000 meters became crystal clear to him; he could even precisely lock onto insects deep underground!

"This feels awesome! So awesome!" Ximen Qing excitedly flipped several times in midair. His tiny body radiated terrifying pressure as he released his 5,880 battle power without restraint. The birds and beasts within 10,000 meters had long since been scared out of their wits, leaving the deep mountains deathly silent. Only the lingering warmth after the dissipating shockwaves and the giant craters in the ground bore witness to the shock of that peak battle!

He looked down at the spot where Zaka had been blasted to pieces, a wildly arrogant grin curling across his lips. His soft, childish voice carried boundless dominance as it echoed across heaven and earth. "The Great Elder of a tribe with 5,000 battle power was nothing more than trash I could one-shot! My bloodline is fully awakened, my battle power has reached 5,880, and I've unlocked Ultimate Ki Cannon and Bloodline Suppression. Even if I faced the leader of the Saiyan Tribe now, I'd have the strength to fight him!"

"Frieza, Cell, Buu, just you wait!" Ximen Qing raised his little head and gazed into the sky, his eyes full of arrogance and anticipation, blazing with fervent light. "I have 5,880 battle power now, along with Ultimate Ki Cannon and the Elementary Super Saiyan Prototype. Once I grind out another wave of experience, activate my Elementary Super Saiyan Form, and break through 10,000 battle power, I'll come settle the score with all of you! I'll grind every last one of you into the ground and let you taste the might of Ultimate Ki Cannon. I'll show you who the strongest Saiyan in the universe is—and who the true overlord of the universe is!"

Grandpa Gohan, standing before the cave, had long been left dumbfounded by this peak confrontation. It took him quite a while to barely come back to his senses. Staggering into the clearing, he looked at Ximen Qing hovering in midair, glowing with golden light and brimming with smug arrogance. The shock on his face was beyond words, and he kept muttering, "5,880 battle power... fully awakened bloodline... Ultimate Ki Cannon... terrifying... truly terrifying... Ximen Qing, you're a god. An omnipotent God of War. Earth's guardian!"

By now, he was completely numb. The shock Ximen Qing had brought him grew stronger every time—from instantly killing the Black Wind Bear, to wiping out Locke Squad, Modo, and Cassius, and now to one-shotting the tribe's Great Elder with 5,000 battle power, raising his own power to 5,880, and unlocking multiple ultimate abilities. This tiny baby had already grown into a powerful being capable of protecting Earth. In Grandpa Gohan's heart, Ximen Qing was no longer a child, but an omnipotent God of War—his greatest pride and his greatest support!

Ximen Qing smiled. With a thought, he slowly withdrew Ultimate Ki Sense and suppressed most of his 5,880 battle power, leaving only a faint trace of ki. He activated his ki, and his tiny body flashed, instantly appearing before Grandpa Gohan. The arrogance on his face faded, replaced by a touch of soft childish cuteness. "Grandpa Gohan, I'm fine, so don't be scared! That old bastard has already been one-shotted by me. No more Saiyan enemies will ever come to Earth again. We can live peacefully from now on!"

Grandpa Gohan hurriedly crouched down and carefully stroked Ximen Qing's little head. His eyes were filled with awe, affection, and emotion, and his voice was slightly choked. "Good! Good! As long as you're all right! As long as you're all right! Ximen Qing, you're incredible. Grandpa is proud of you. It's only because of you that Earth can remain safe and sound!"

Ximen Qing proudly raised his little head and patted his chest, his face full of confidence. "Of course! As long as I'm here, I'll protect you and protect Earth. No matter how many powerful beings from the universe come, I can kill them all with ease! Grandpa Gohan, let's go back and rest first. Once we've rested, I'll test out the power of Ultimate Ki Cannon and the Elementary Super Saiyan Prototype. I'll let you see my true strength now!"

"Good! Good! Grandpa will listen to you!" Grandpa Gohan hurriedly nodded and followed closely behind Ximen Qing, his eyes full of anticipation. He could hardly wait to witness the true power of Ultimate Ki Cannon and the Elementary Super Saiyan Prototype, to see just how many more surprises and shocks this "little God of War" could bring him!

Ximen Qing smiled and took tiny steps toward the cave. A faint glow shimmered in the golden ki around him, while his 5,880 battle power subtly radiated outward. His eyes were full of excitement and anticipation. But he did not know that, in the depths of the distant universe, Frieza sat upon his throne aboard his cosmic warship, staring at the scanner in his hand. His eyes were filled with coldness, killing intent, and disbelief. The ki around him became extraordinarily violent, making the entire warship tremble violently!

"The Great Elder of the Saiyan Tribe, Zaka, is dead too?!" Frieza sneered, his voice filled with disdain yet carrying a trace of wariness. "Zaka, with 5,000 battle power, was actually one-shotted by a Saiyan baby. And that baby's battle power has already reached 5,880, with his Saiyan bloodline fully awakened? Interesting. This little Saiyan baby has potential. Unfortunately, anyone who dares offend me, Frieza, no matter who they are, must die!"

He raised a hand and coldly ordered the subordinate at his side, "Send out the order. Mobilize my elite squad. Have Captain Losar, with 6,000 battle power, personally lead the squad to Earth. Kill that Saiyan baby and bring his corpse and innate Saiyan bloodline back to the warship. I want to see what is so special about a baby capable of one-shotting Zaka. And while you're at it, turn Earth into a scorched wasteland!"

"Yes, Lord Frieza!" the subordinate replied respectfully before turning and quickly leaving.

Frieza remained seated on his throne, his eyes filled with icy killing intent as a cruel smile curled across his lips. "Little thing, enjoy your final days. Once Losar reaches Earth, you'll learn that offending me, Frieza, was the greatest mistake of your life!"

A new crisis was rapidly closing in on Earth from the depths of the universe. Losar, Frieza's elite captain with 6,000 battle power, was about to descend. Ximen Qing's path toward becoming the universe's overlord was about to face another new challenge!
