The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 1065: Terrifying Wild Man

Chapter 1065: Chapter 1065: Terrifying Wild Man

After the battle with the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor, the atmosphere among the team became somewhat subdued.

Mainly because Qin Jun was silent, wearing a cold expression, which made it difficult for the others to say much.

Even the usually talkative Mo Xuanzi didn’t dare to speak, wondering internally what was wrong with everyone.

Fairy Nansu followed behind Qin Jun, constantly contemplating what relationship Qin Jun might have with the Extreme Flame Demon God, and what connection the words of the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor had to Ji Bubai and Ji Yongsheng?

The group, each preoccupied with their own thoughts, continued for several more hours before finally stopping.

They came to rest under an ancient tree that towered a hundred zhang high.

The old tree was leafless, its branches bare, its surface charred black as if it had survived a great fire, yet it stood unbowed upon the land.

Qin Jun waved his sleeve and asked, "Do you really know where the Soul Returning River is?"

Though vast, the Qiuming Abyss felt even more immense to Qin Jun after entering, as vast as a whole world in itself.

Walking like this, how long would it take to reach the Soul Returning River?

And when might he find the Imperishable Glazed Grass?

Qin Jun had planned to find the Imperishable Glazed Grass before searching for the traces of the White Emperor.

On their journey, they had already encountered many formidable beings, including the first ever prodigy from fifty thousand years ago; he couldn’t help but worry if the White Emperor might have also fallen and become one of these fierce creatures?

"I know, it’s at the deepest part of the Qiuming Abyss, where danger lurks at every turn, and crises abound in all..."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xuanzi suddenly became as talkative as if he had opened a chatterbox, speaking excitedly and non-stop.

As a prodigy in the later stages of entering the realm of the sage, depending solely on Duan Fengdao for survival to avoid disgrace, he had no choice but to exaggerate the perilous nature of the Qiuming Abyss.

Fairy Nansu was speechless, while the cat demon Seven couldn’t help saying in annoyance, "Are you a woman or what?"

With that remark, Mo Xuanzi’s words came to an abrupt halt, his face instantly turning red as he fought to control his impulse to explode and angrily retorted, "You’re the woman... no, wait, you’re a she-cat!"

"I am a she-cat after all."

"You... you’ve gone too far!"

"Woman."

"Pfft..."

Watching the bickering between the man and the cat, everyone else began to laugh along.

Though Mo Xuanzi was annoying, he was indeed good for lightening the mood.

Qin Jun began to survey their surroundings, as the nearby desert was full of wind-blown sand, with visibility less than a thousand meters around.

"Ping—"

Suddenly, a clang of clashing weapons came from the distance, becoming louder and louder, as if a fight was taking place, approaching their direction.

Zhao Gongming said irritably, "Not again!"

They had not been there very long, yet troubles had come knocking one after another, making it hard to imagine the fate of creatures below the Holy Realm entering this place.

Fuxi and Qiang Liang remained calm, whatever came at them was no match for them.

Soon, three figures burst from the swirling sands, two men and a woman, all in the initial stages of Daluo, covered in blood and clearly injured, as if something was pursuing them, their faces filled with horror and despair.

The man in black, leading the way, saw Qin Jun and the others under the ancient tree and instantly filled with relief.

"Save us! I am..."

The man in black called out excitedly, but before he could finish, an enormous maw like a black hole struck from behind, instantly swallowing all three.

Qin Jun and the others’ expressions changed slightly as they followed their gaze, spotting a black giant lizard, its eyes alone as large as houses. Beyond its head, its body was submerged in the wind-blown sand. After devouring the three cultivators, it flicked its long tongue and tilted its head, now looking at Qin Jun and the others.

"Hmph, even at the beginning stages of entering the realm of the sage, you dare to be presumptuous?"

Mo Xuanzi snorted coldly, and immediately flew toward the black giant lizard.

Being protected the whole way, he had to prove himself.

Stomping his right foot, he flew like an arrow towards the black giant lizard, torrents of mana pouring out from his palms, roaring forth like two blazing fireballs.

As he was about to crash into the black behemoth of a lizard, a figure descended from the sky like a deity arriving.

The speed was unimaginably fast, reminiscent of a meteor falling. Fuxi and Zhao Gongming’s pupils shrank, and Qiang Liang sprang to his feet abruptly.

"What is that thing!"

Mo Xuanzi only felt a terrifying gust of wind descend from the sky, and before he could dodge it, a foot landed on his back.

Boom!

Mo Xuanzi plummeted from hundreds of meters in the air, crashing into the ground and causing it to tremble, while billowing dust rolled up, his life and death uncertain.

Qin Jun and Fairy Nansu also stood up, both frowning as they looked towards the figure in the sky.

An overwhelmingly strong aura whirled the winds and sands as if sand dragons were coiling around him. His long hair fell over, exceeding the length of his feet by more than two meters, untamed and wild.

He tilted his head slightly down, obscuring his face from view. Clothed in tattered roughspun, his exposed muscles seemed as hard as steel, reflecting a metallic luster under the flashing lightning.

Like a barbaric man, the mysterious figure hovered over the head of the black giant lizard, exuding an aura cold as Tianwei, sending chills down the spine.

Even the swirling sands in the sky suddenly came to a halt as if time itself had stopped.

"This..."

Zhao Gongming’s eyes widened, feeling that even he, having fully entered the realm of the sage, was no match for this person.

Fuxi frowned, and Qiang Liang narrowed his eyes, both erupting with an awe-inspiring presence, confronting the wild man in the dim Qiuming Abyss.

Thunder roared, and the air was thick with the intent to kill.

Qin Jun’s heart rate sped up as well, the aura emitted by the man was like nothing he had ever encountered before.

Even Di Tianwu and Canghua Immortal Venerable did not have an aura as terrifying as this wild man.

He remained motionless, yet he exuded an oppressive force that felt as though he could extinguish the world and stand invincible.

The black behemoth slowly lay down as if worshiping its master, prostate on the ground, looking up at the wild man.

"This person’s cultivation is unfathomably deep, Your Majesty, be careful."

Qiang Liang said in a deep voice, stepping forward to stand before the others, staring at the wild man.

Fairy Nansu, her face obscured by her veil, was visibly biting her teeth; she had not anticipated such danger within the Qiuming Abyss.

The information she had collected seemed false now, she could no longer believe that anyone entering the sage realm could live for tens of thousands of years within the Qiuming Abyss, let alone escape from it.

It was utterly preposterous!

It’s no wonder that there are so many legends about Qiuming Abyss, yet no major power has its sights set on it.

Qiuming Abyss was truly a land of death!

"Huh... such a familiar aura..."

The wild man suddenly spoke, his voice raspy. As he spoke, he slowly turned his head to look at Qin Jun and the others.

His face was covered in eerie black patterns. Although his features were well-defined, it gave off an abnormal sense of horror, especially his eyes, with white pupils and black eyeballs, as if he was possessed.

Being stared at by his gaze, Fairy Nansu and the cat demon Seven instinctively lowered their heads to avoid his eyes.

Qin Jun’s gaze collided with his, causing him to feel a shiver of fear.

The Ziwei Emperor Star within him began to whirl madly, and his blood started to boil.

"Who exactly is this person..."

Qin Jun thought with furrowed brows, while Qiang Liang burst out with myriad thunder and lightning, wrapping around himself, making him appear like an ancient thunder demon with a murderous aura touching the skies.

"Interesting, the late stage of the Manifesting Saint realm!"

The wild man glanced sideways at Qiang Liang, the corner of his mouth curling upward. At his words, Qin Jun and the others all changed color.

He had actually seen through Qiang Liang’s cultivation level at a glance!

And his tone even carried a hint of mockery!
