Chapter 1007: Chapter 1072: The Mighty Sea-Calming Pearl

"Having a Manifesting Saint by your side certainly gives you the audacity to be arrogant."

That voice, as if coming from the Netherworld, rang out again. Soon, a rainbow streaked across the space ahead, coming at an incredible speed. It rushed forward without restraint, shattering the meteorites in its path.

Zhao Gongming’s face displayed a look of disdain as he shouted, "There’s no gate to Hell, yet you insist on barging in. Come, let me send you on your way!"

It was perfect timing since he had just joined Qin Jun’s forces and needed a battle to prove his worth.

With that thought, he leaped into the air, flying towards the rainbow.

Both were at the Manifesting Saint Realm, their speed of flight unimaginably fast. In almost less than two breaths, the distance between them shortened from hundreds of thousands of miles to just a few meters.

Zhao Gongming finally saw the comer’s face. He wore a golden robe and a jade belt around his waist, a sword in each hand. His slightly gray long hair fluttered in the wind, and his light eyebrows, combined with his deep-set eyes, gave him a rather sinister appearance.

Mid-stage Manifesting Saint Realm!

Zhao Gongming instantaneously determined the other’s cultivation level, a mocking smile appearing on his lips as he lashed out with his whip.

The man in the golden robe was startled. In an instant, he felt Zhao Gongming’s aura abruptly change, as if a tender sprout had grown into a towering tree; his presence surged terrifyingly, causing the golden-robed man to hurriedly raise his swords for defense.

Clang—

The Luofu Whip struck the swords, and the man’s pupils constricted as an unimaginable force caused his arms to tremble with burst veins, throwing his body backward like a lightning bolt.

He was sent flying faster than he had arrived!

Zhao Gongming hadn’t even retracted his whip before the man was thrown a million miles away, crashing into a planet larger than Earth, stirring up billowing dust.

Dominance!

The gap between a fully realized Manifesting Saint and the mid-stage was like a chasm, insurmountable. And that was even before considering the high rank of Zhao Gongming’s Luofu Whip.

Qin Jun raised an eyebrow but wasn’t surprised. He busied himself having the system pull up Fuxi’s attribute list.

"Fuxi, from mythology!"

"Identity: Emperor Taihao of Biting Heaven and Opening Earth! Ancient Heavenly Emperor! Human King! Human Emperor!"

"Cultivation: Complete Manifesting Saint Realm!"

"Cultivation Method: Cycle Eight Diagrams!"

"Divine Powers: Defying Fate Divination! Controlling Qi Movement! Deduction of Heaven & Earth! Power of the Heavenly Emperor! Shake the Sky with Eight Diagrams!"

"Treasures: River Map! Luo Shu! Phoenix Lyre! Qingji Grass!"

"Loyalty: 69 (Max value 100)!"

Insanely cool!

Qin Jun was overwhelmed with joy. If Fuxi could recover to his peak, he reckoned that Fuxi would probably possess a Complete Manifesting Saint’s cultivation. But as a sub-saint and the Human Emperor of the Human Clan, he was likely to break free from system constraints, so for now he could not be restored to his peak.

"Eh? Why is Fuxi called both Heavenly Emperor and Human Emperor? Isn’t Xuanyuan the Human Emperor, the Yellow Emperor?"

Qin Jun noticed the anomaly in Fuxi’s identity and couldn’t help but voice his confusion.

"The so-called Three Sovereigns of Heaven, Earth, and Man come from the ’Investiture of the Gods’ and some ancient texts. Yet in official history or more widespread legends, Fuxi is referred to as the Human Emperor. The Fuxi here is a fusion from various versions of mythology, essentially possessing the memories of many worlds."

The system explained, and Qin Jun came to a realization.

It was just a title, after all.

He then refocused on the battle ahead. The golden-robed man had plunged deep into the crust of the planet, similar to Yi Han’s past predicament, but fortunately, he hadn’t sustained serious injuries.

Because his opponent was not in the late stage of the Manifesting Saint Realm.

The golden-robed man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a mix of shock and rage filling him. He had assumed his opponent would be at most in the late stage of the Manifesting Saint Realm, but the strength he just faced was clearly stronger.

"Damn it, I don’t believe this!"

He grimaced as he rose, his magic erupting, crushing the surrounding mud and rocks, as he lifted his twin swords and burst forth at high speed once more, piercing through the rolling dust.

He had once defeated a late-stage entering the realm of the sage powerhouse, rising to fame in a single battle, which gave him the confidence to seek revenge on behalf of Yi Han.

Yi Han was one of his few close friends, with whom he had braved forbidden grounds and faced life and death together. Naturally, he was infuriated when he heard of Yi Han’s death.

Zhao Gongming found it irksome when he saw him attacking again.

Dealing with a mid-stage entering the realm of the sage challenger, he couldn’t afford to delay for too long, otherwise, it would make him appear weak.

"Hmph!"

Zhao Gongming snorted coldly, his hands raising abruptly. In that instant, a blinding light burst from within him, causing the consciousness of all beings under the stars to falter momentarily, blinding their eyes and deafening their ears.

Even Qin Jun found himself lost in a daze, and Patriarch Bodhi’s gaze became vacant, not to mention Qiang Liang.

The bright light arrived quickly and dissipated just as fast.

The next second, Qin Jun and the others had come to their senses. Rubbing his eyes and focusing, Qin Jun saw that in the starry sky, the man in golden armor was already decapitated, his blood scattering, while Zhao Gongming, holding the head by its hair, stood with his back to Qin Jun and his companions, like a demonic god, creating an incredibly shocking scene.

"What just happened?"

Qiang Liang asked, terrified. During the flash, he had felt nothing; he couldn’t even control his own body. If an enemy had attacked him at that moment, death would have been certain.

Patriarch Bodhi’s face was grave because he too was affected. He said solemnly, "Sea-Calming Pearl!"

Qin Jun’s dragon body shook. Was the Sea-Calming Pearl that powerful?

Although he had long coveted the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls, actually experiencing its power made Qin Jun shiver.

If such a treasure fell into the hands of an enemy, what then?

Whoever they wanted dead would be dead!

"What tier is the Sea-Calming Pearl?" Qin Jun asked curiously.

In this world, treasures were divided into acquired treasures, innate treasures, acquired spiritual treasures, innate spiritual treasures, acquired supreme treasures, and Innate Supreme Treasures, from lowest to highest.

But Qin Jun noticed that even the power of Innate Supreme Treasures wasn’t too outrageous. The only Innate Supreme Treasure he had encountered was the Treasure Lotus Lamp, which perhaps hadn’t revealed its full strength because Yang Chan’s cultivation level wasn’t very high.

Though powerful, the Treasure Lotus Lamp was definitely not on par with the Sea-Calming Pearl.

As for the treasures of God and Demon, especially those beyond the Daluo Realm, he naturally couldn’t brazenly ask for treasures, as higher-level treasures were often refined with their essence blood. Giving them to someone else would be a substantial loss in combat strength.

"By the standards of this world, it would be considered an Innate Supreme Treasure, infinitely close to a Chaos spiritual treasure!"

Patriarch Bodhi spoke gravely, thinking to himself that the Sea-Calming Pearl indeed lived up to its reputation.

Chaos spiritual treasure?

Qin Jun latched on to the new term—above Innate Supreme Treasure was a Chaos spiritual treasure?

Additionally, he possessed three acquired supreme treasures: Sky Water Jade, Abyssal Gold Bracelet, and Nether King Scythe, all seized in the Great Xuandang realm. Unfortunately, his cultivation was too low to unlock their true effects.

Sky Water Jade could suppress the fiercest flames of the world and was a public treasure of the Great Qin Heavenly Court. Those in need could apply to use it, provided it was returned.

As for the Abyssal Gold Bracelet and Nether King Scythe, he kept them, stored within the mythology space.

"I’ll have to seek Patriarch Bodhi’s guidance thoroughly in the future."

Qin Jun stroked his chin in thought, realizing the Great Xuandang realm was even more mysterious than he had imagined.

Legend had it that the first batch of immortals from the Human Clan originated from the Great Xuandang realm, in ages long before the establishment of the Holy Realm when the Human Clan was born—a great expanse of time.

At this moment, Zhao Gongming, holding the golden-armored man’s head, flew back. The man was not yet dead despite only having a head remaining, his eyes still glaring hatefully at Zhao Gongming, a ghastly sight.

"Who are you?"

Qin Jun asked softly. Could it be someone from the Feng Family?
