The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 1074 My Name is Qiuming

Chapter 1074: Chapter 1074 My Name is Qiuming

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was defeated by Patriarch Bodhi in a battle, and just when he was about to die at the hands of Patriarch Bodhi, a mysterious strong figure saved him.

That incident had always been worrying Qin Jun, fearing that the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny and the powerful figure behind him might launch a surprise attack on Xuandang’s Great World.

Unexpectedly, he encountered the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny in the starry sky.

"That person’s cultivation is at the early stages of entering the realm of the sage, while that ape demon is at the mid-stage,"

Zhao Gongming whispered indifferently.

A mere early-stage entering the realm of the sage was nothing to him; without the need for Qiang Liang and Fuxi to act, he could easily crush such beings.

Chi You’s eyes narrowed upon hearing this. With only the complete cultivation of the Daluo’s Luoshi Immortal Realm, in Qin Jun’s team, he could only rank at the bottom and found it difficult to stand out.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, who was fiercely battling the ape demon, also sensed the presence of Qin Jun and his face turned pale with fright.

Because he also sensed the presences of Qiang Liang, Fuxi, Zhao Gongming, and Chi You.

All very unfamiliar!

But all extremely powerful!

"How is this possible... how did I encounter this guy?"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny thought bitterly. Qin Jun was almost his nightmare; Qin Jun himself was of low cultivation, but his subordinates were each stronger than the last, the type of enemy that drove him most mad.

He immediately felt the urge to retreat.

The people following Qin Jun were clearly outrageously strong; he didn’t want to repeat the same mistake.

Thinking this, his left hand suddenly struck the blood zither, and in a moment, an invisible shockwave burst forth, directly flipping the ape demon strongman away.

He then turned into a streak of red light and fled into the depths of the starry sky.

"Catch him!"

Qin Jun announced with a cold smirk.

As his words fell, Fuxi instantly moved.

In the blink of an eye, he crossed billions of miles and directly blocked the way of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, who had to stop quickly, nearly exploding from fear.

What kind of speed was this?

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was filled with terror. Before he could react, Fuxi’s palm came flying towards him, so fast that the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny couldn’t defend himself in time, and he was hit in the chest, spitting blood as he flew backwards.

He smashed through countless meteors along the way, pierced through stars, flying billions of miles without stop.

Qiang Liang raised his hand and grabbed the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny as he flew past, the powerful force instantly stopping him.

At this moment, the consciousness of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny had fallen into chaos.

Even though Fuxi hadn’t used his full strength, it was enough to make him suffer greatly.

Qin Jun looked at the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny with a smile on his face and said softly, "You can run from the monk, but can you run from the temple?"

Finding himself finally capturing the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, he was in a very good mood.

At this point, the consciousness of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny slowly woke up, and he opened his eyes with difficulty, just in time to see Qiang Liang’s ferocious face, which frightened him so much that he widened his eyes and struggled to break free, but to no avail.

"You cannot escape."

Qin Jun hummed, and hearing this, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny quickly turned his head to look at him. Upon seeing the face that was like a nightmare to him, he gritted his teeth with hatred.

"It’s you again..."

These three simple words contained the tidal wave of emotions the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was feeling.

Once, he was the number one person in Xuandang’s Great World, and his cultivation level was considered strong even in the vastness of the starry sky.

Then Qin Jun emerged out of nowhere, defeating the heroes of various factions one after another, and rising over a mountain of corpses to challenge him. He too was defeated, not once but twice, and now he had fallen into Qin Jun’s hands again, nearly driving him to the brink of collapse.

Why was it that whenever he encountered Qin Jun, he felt so powerless?

"Do you miss me so much?"

Qin Jun teased with a laugh, contemplating whether to kill the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny on the spot.

After all, he held no great grudge against the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny; they were merely on opposing sides.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was indeed a forthright person, who always engaged in direct combat and scarcely ever resorted to schemes and conspiracies. To call him foolish was not entirely accurate; it was just that he had sat on the Invincible Throne for too long and held such trickery in disdain.

"Kill me!"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny closed his eyes, understanding that he couldn’t escape, nor did he wish to beg for mercy, so he simply opted for death.

Qin Jun was amused. The character of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was quite similar to his own in his previous life: uncompromising and unyielding, even when facing an unbeatable opponent.

Just as Qin Jun hesitated about whether to kill the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny or not, a dark rift suddenly tore open beside the Emperor, and a pitch-black hand emerged, instantly knocking Qiang Liang away and grasping the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny within its clutch.

Fuxi quickly appeared in front of Qin Jun to protect him while Zhao Gongming and Chi You also prepared for battle.

"This aura... demonic energy?"

Chi You’s face changed dramatically as the demonic energy emanating from that black hand was extremely startling, causing even him, a demon god, to feel palpitations.

Fuxi, as if facing a formidable enemy, said in a deep voice, "Who goes there, why not show your true form!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun felt his heart stir.

If Fuxi, who had achieved perfection in the Manifesting Saint Realm, was so nervous, how powerful must the opponent be?

Could it be a saint?

The thought made him shiver; did the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny have a saint supporting him from behind?

Instinctively, he moved his right hand to his back and took out the bone given to him by Death, ready to summon the path of Death at any moment.

The black hand holding the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny didn’t immediately retreat. Instead, a chilling voice came from the rift, "Little fellow, your subordinates are not bad at all, managing to defeat even the inheritor I had my eye on."

"Infernal Flame Demon God? Interesting."

What!

Qin Jun felt his flesh creep upon hearing this, as the other party had instantly seen through his identity.

Qiang Liang, Fuxi, and Zhao Gongming looked at Qin Jun in shock; they couldn’t help but recall the words of the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor back in the Qiuming Abyss.

It turned out that the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor had been referring to Qin Jun.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny looked precarious in the clutches of the black hand and gritted his teeth, "Sorry... I’ve disappointed you again..."

He hadn’t expected to encounter Qin Jun as soon as he had emerged and felt incredibly unlucky and ashamed, believing that he had disgraced his Master.

"He is the one I have chosen; little fellow, stop fixating on him from now on, as a favor to me."

The voice spoke again, ancient and domineering as from an olden Primordial Chaos.

Qin Jun frowned upon hearing this and demanded, "How can I grant you face if you do not reveal your name?"

Fuxi, Qiang Liang, Zhao Gongming, and Chi You all kept a close watch on the black hand, ready for any sudden attack.

"Name? I’ve nearly forgotten mine... Nevertheless, since you are the one he has chosen, what harm is there in telling you!"

"I am Qiuming!"

The voice laughed loudly, and as its words faded, it retracted the hand holding the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny back into the rift.

Qin Jun and the others were petrified.

Qiuming?

The Qiuming Emperor!

"How is this possible..."

Qin Jun’s expression kept changing as he was utterly dumbfounded.

The Qiuming Emperor was a being from a very distant past, still alive?

And Qin Jun had been chosen by someone; who was that person, able to make the Qiuming Emperor hesitate to make a move?

Qin Jun’s mind became a whirlwind of confusion.

After the rift disappeared, the aura of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny vanished completely, and Fuxi and the others fell silent.

Chi You was alright since he did not know the legend of the Qiuming Emperor, but Fuxi, Qiang Liang, and Zhao Gongming had heard of it.

They had recently ventured into the Qiuming Abyss left by the Qiuming Emperor and had a profound impression of this ancient formidable being.
