Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016: The Struggle for the Heavenly Fetus

Facing the frenzied child’s anger, Qin Jun scoffed.

"I just love the look on your face when you want to hit me but can’t!"

Qin Jun scornfully laughed, he was actually quite curious about the origins of the frenzied child.

Such a small body actually possessed the power to contend with a Manifesting Saint.

Could it be that his bloodline was extremely powerful?

The frenzied child shivered with rage at his words, wanting to rush up, but the overwhelming pressure from Patriarch Bodhi was simply too great.

That punch just now, although he hadn’t used his full strength, had left him shaken not lightly by the way Patriarch Bodhi had casually repelled him with a palm strike.

Since his rebirth, Patriarch Bodhi was the second person that made him think he couldn’t compete against.

"Hmph, I’m not fighting anymore!"

The frenzied child released his fists and stamped his foot, grumbling as if he were throwing a tantrum.

Qin Jun’s mouth twitched, you say you won’t fight just like that?

However, seeing his appearance, Qin Jun really couldn’t bring himself to be harsh, thus he said grumpily, "Canghua isn’t here, go home and play!"

Upon hearing this, the frenzied child’s eyes darted around, and with a pout, he said, "I just want to play here, what can you do about it?"

Qin Jun then furrowed his brow, wondering if this youngster was eyeing the demonic fetus.

Patriarch Bodhi also guessed this possibility, and immediately exclaimed, "If you do not leave, I will annihilate both your body and soul!"

His eyes blazed, the terrifying pressure assaulting the frenzied child.

The creatures in the city below hadn’t felt it, only the frenzied child felt as if he were a boat in a raging storm, swaying unsteadily.

At this moment, he sensed the breath of death.

"Alright alright... I’ll leave!"

The frenzied child instantly backed down, glaring fiercely at Qin Jun before turning and leaping into the rolling clouds.

Qin Jun always felt that the rogue would return, so he asked, "What about the demonic fetus?"

The frenzied child was just like a mischievous child, what if he startled the demonic fetus, causing a disaster?

Patriarch Bodhi also felt a bit troubled and hesitated, "It shouldn’t cause any trouble, he looks young, but who knows how many ages he has lived, he still has some restraint."

The resentment from the demonic fetus was indeed too massive, anyone seeing it would get chills, the frenzied child had no reason to take such a risk.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun thought it made sense.

It would be too boring to keep guarding here all the time.

He was also thinking about scavenging some heavenly and earthly treasures within the Immortal Palace, as the palace’s treasury was abundant with spirit stones and magical treasures, just what he needed.

If the frenzied child really did come back to cause trouble, he wouldn’t be able to do much about it.

Moreover, he was also an enemy of Canghua Immortal Venerable himself, and there was no reason to guard his lair, he wasn’t that saintly.

Subsequently, the two disappeared from the spot and returned to the inn.

Before long, Ximen Qinggang, the Sect Master of Tao Court Sect, rushed over with a group of disciples, sweeping over the city and arriving above the clouds.

"Guard the Immortal Palace well, no one is allowed to break in!"

Ximen Qinggang commanded in a stern voice, as Canghua Immortal Venerable was his master, and protecting the Immortal Palace was an undeniable responsibility for them.

Looking at the slightly ajar doors of the Immortal Palace, Ximen Qinggang felt inexplicably uneasy.

He always felt there was something terrifying hidden inside the Immortal Palace, and an intangible aura made him very uncomfortable.

The powerhouses suspended above the Immortal City also gradually returned, but the news of the frenzied child’s appearance spread like a plague through the city, unstoppable once unleashed.

The frenzied child was a top power in the cosmos, his arrival making all beings within the Immortal City tense.

For a time, the entire city was full of undercurrents, and fewer and fewer beings entered the Immortal City, with only the powerful ones coming.

Soon, news about the Heavenly Fetus spread far and wide in the city.

Legend has it that Canghua Immortal Venerable obtained a Heavenly Fetus, which contained the power of the Heavenly Dao, and consuming it would grant tremendous fortune.

The reason why Canghua Immortal Venerable was so powerful was because of the Heavenly Fetus.

It is said that after consuming one Heavenly Fetus, one cannot consume a second, and Canghua Immortal Venerable intended to pass the soon-to-be-nurtured second Heavenly Fetus to someone fated.

This was also why the chosen ones came to the Ancient Immortal Realm, having heard rumors beforehand.

The next day.

The Ancient Immortal Realm had no distinction between day and night, but time was still counted.

In the inn, upon hearing the news of the Heavenly Fetus, Qin Jun scoffed and laughed, "Heavenly Fetus? It’s clearly a demonic embryo. Who is spreading rumors?"

Attracting prodigies and various powerhouses to contend for a demonic embryo?

Qin Jun suddenly recalled the system’s words when he triggered the side quest; the demonic embryo contained thousands of bloodlines. Could it be that Canghua Immortal Venerable wanted to absorb the bloodlines of these powerhouses?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Fuxi narrowed his eyes and said, "This Immortal Venerable seems to be preparing a shocking conspiracy."

Yesterday, Qin Jun had already shared what he had seen and heard, so when they heard the news of the Heavenly Fetus, they also guessed it was Canghua Immortal Venerable’s doing.

The news was definitely released by Canghua Immortal Venerable.

"What exactly does he want to do? This is the Ancient Immortal Realm, does he want to destroy his own realm?" Zhao Gongming frowned, "With the demonic embryo’s emergence, countless corpses will lie about, and the realm filled with the scent of blood; can that still be called an Immortal Realm?"

It might even provoke the wrath of the Heavenly Dao.

Qiang Liang disagreed, "For the sake of becoming stronger, what else?"

Their ancestral witches revered power above all.

For the sake of becoming stronger, what did it matter if billions of lives were sacrificed?

Qin Jun stood up and went to the window, looking towards the Immortal Palace, his brows tightly furrowed, his heart full of worry.

He was worried that if the Ancient Immortal Realm were thrown into chaos, would the Heavenly Scriptures still be mystically useful for becoming an immortal?

The biggest goal of this trip was to help the Black Butterfly Fairy become an immortal; everything else was secondary.

"Your Majesty need not worry, the Heavenly Dao has its own order, and it will not be disrupted because of some incidents," Patriarch Bodhi soothed.

Qin Jun nodded. If someone really dared to disrupt his plan, they could not blame him for being ruthless.

Meanwhile, as the news of the Heavenly Fetus spread, it seemed an invisible giant hand was pushing it; the news quickly spread throughout the Ancient Immortal Realm.

More and more powerhouses were flying towards the Immortal Palace, even if they couldn’t snatch the Heavenly Fetus, just to witness its elegance was worthwhile.

For a while, the atmosphere inside the Immortal Palace grew increasingly tense.

Three days later, a booming explosion suddenly erupted from the Immortal Palace. Immediately afterward, numerous Tao Court Sect disciples fell from the clouds, all covered in blood, looking utterly miserable.

Ximen Qinggang even fell like a meteor, smashing through the clouds and with a loud bang, collapsed a building and kicked up a swirl of dust, causing a stir among the nearby creatures.

"What’s going on?"

"Isn’t that Ximen Qinggang? The head of Tao Court Sect!"

"Has the Immortal Palace been attacked again?"

"Could it be that crazy brat again?"

The whole city was alarmed, and numerous powerhouses soared into the sky, especially the chosen ones, who directly leaped into the clouds.

Qin Jun and others also stepped out of the inn, looking towards the sky; Patriarch Bodhi said in a deep voice, "It’s that crazy brat again!"

Is that wild child causing trouble again?

Qin Jun was speechless, having guessed he wouldn’t stay out of trouble, but did not expect him to actually storm into the Immortal Palace again.

Watching one powerhouse after another fly towards the Immortal Palace, he felt annoyed; did these people really think there was a Heavenly Fetus?

"It’s too late."

Patriarch Bodhi said softly, and as his words fell, another booming explosion resounded, shaking the entire Ancient Immortal Realm, accompanied by the crazy laughter of the wild child.
