The Strongest Mythical Emperor

Chapter 109: Chapter 109: It’s Actually Him

After soothing Li into sleep, Qin Jun finally heaved a sigh of relief, and then thought to himself, "System start the random summoning, summon me a badass and ferocious guy!"

Demon King of Bull!

Nezha!

Gonggong, Luo Hou, Donghuang Taiyi, Chi You, Xing Tian and so on would all do!

Qin Jun thought so, but of course, he didn’t believe he could actually summon these great beings, and even if he did manage to summon them, it wouldn’t be easy to suppress them, not all gods were as approachable as Jin Xing.

Just think, when Fa Hai came out he was so hopping mad, he even wanted to slay Roaring Sky Dog and Daji. If someone as unruly as Sun Wukong were to be summoned, wouldn’t that turn the world upside down?

"Ding! The random summoning of God and Demon now begins!"

At these times, Qin Jun couldn’t help but feel nervous, like a husband waiting for his wife to give birth, not knowing whether it will be a boy or a girl.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for drawing Li Yuanba, from wild historical tales."

What the hell...

Li Yuanba?

damn it!

What is this!

Qin Jun almost jumped out of the carriage, system bro, this is a world filled with gods and demons, are you summoning a character from wild tales for fun?

"Li Yuanba, inspired by the historical figure Li Xuanba, is the number one stalwart of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the mortal incarnation of a Giant Bird from the heavens, wielding two iron hammers, each weighing four hundred catties."

"Described in ’Romance of Tang Dynasty’: possesses immense strength, his arms are braver than the four mythical beasts, can twist metal as if it were mud, stronger than Xiang Yu from the Han era, he eats a peck of rice and ten catties of meat in a meal, uses two iron hammers, each weighing four hundred catties, both of which together weigh eight hundred catties, big like jars."

Hearing the system’s introduction, Qin Jun smirked, "So what? My Silver Dragon Exterminating Soul Spear weighs five thousand catties! What’s eight hundred catties to me?"

There goes the summoning, wasted.

"In classical hero legends, the strength of nine bulls and two tigers is used to describe immense power, but Li Yuanba was said to be even mightier, surpassing even the four mystical beasts, his strength exceeds 50,000 catties in the classical novels!"

Pfft!

Strength over fifty thousand catties!

Qin Jun almost choked on his saliva.

"Moreover, the battle mentioned here comes from wild tales, in the battle of Siming Mountain, Li Yuanba alone on horseback defeated a rebellion of 2.3 million soldiers. Later, he killed the stalwart Wu Tianxi and faced 1.8 million troops at Jinshan Mountain on horseback with dual hammers, striking them down like flies, creating a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, reducing the 1.85 million troops to only 650,000, forcing Li Mi to hand over the imperial jade seal, making the rebel kings submit."

"Without any exaggeration, Li Yuanba could be described as one against a million, having transcended the realm of mortals!"

"And the Li Yuanba summoned by the system is in the state after being struck by lightning and awakening the Giant Bird, with significantly enhanced battle power!"

Qin Jun was astounded, Li Yuanba turned out to be so awe-inspiring. He had seen the TV-serial-like ’Heroes in Sui and Tang Dynasties’ before, even though Li Yuanba was still invincible there, he wasn’t as overpowered as in the wild tales.

Luckily, the fellow was killed by lightning, otherwise Li Shimin could have used him to conquer the whole world.

"Bring up Li Yuanba’s attribute list for me to see. You seem to hold him in high regard, system!"

Qin Jun was also looking forward to the deified Li Yuanba; now it seems that Li Yuanba indeed matched the ferocious image he had in mind previously.

"Li Yuanba, from wild historical tales."

"Race: Giant Bird."

"Cultivation: Earth Immortal Realm, first layer!"

"Cultivation method: Golden Birds Changes Hundreds!"

"Divine Power: Giant Bird True Form! Shatter the Heavens and Split the Earth!"

"Magic Tool: Golden Birds Divine Hammer!"

"Mount: Thousands of Miles Cloud!"

"Loyalty: 100 (Full Value 100)!"

Qin Jun stared in disbelief, ’Damn, he has really become divine, to think he has the cultivation of an Earth Immortal Realm!"

"Li Yuanba is stronger than Roaring Sky Dog? Are you kidding me?" Qin Jun couldn’t help but think sarcastically, but inside, he was over the moon. No matter how powerful Li Yuanba was in the unofficial histories, the stronger the summoned Li Yuanba, the better for him.

"This is the Giant Bird, Li Yuanba was just his name during his lifetime."

Qin Jun suddenly remembered that Journey to the West also featured a Giant Bird, and it was even faster than Monkey Brother. He couldn’t help but ask, "What if one day I summoned the Giant Bird from Journey to the West, who would be the original?"

"That’s impossible, no matter which version it comes from, there will only be one original. For example, if you summon Zhu Bajie, you will not be able to summon Heavenly Marshal Tianpeng."

The system’s explanation made Qin Jun feel a bit disappointed. The Giant Bird in Journey to the West was like a great demon king character, an absolutely terrifying existence that far surpassed the Immortal Realm.

However, summoning Li Yuanba wasn’t bad either. At least the guy was a bit of a fool with no real cunning, and his loyalty was at a full value upon arrival, which satisfied Qin Jun greatly.

After the summoning ended, Qin Jun looked forward to Li Yuanba’s debut. In the Heroes in Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Yuanba had been unmatched since the age of twelve. Xiang Yu and Lv Bu would probably have needed to kneel if they had been in the same era as him.

Such an awesomely domineering character was perfect for leading the charge!

The thought of his future ascension to emperor, with Guan Yu and Li Yuanba leading thousands of troops across the Southern Domain, filled him with excitement!

"Li Yuanba, Li Yuanba, don’t let me down!"

Qin Jun murmured under his breath, then calmed himself and continued to practice the Purple Rainbow Lightning Technique.

Off to the side, Daji slowly opened her beautiful eyes and silently thought, "Who is Li Yuanba? Could he be the next powerful figure coming to serve the Young Master?"

If Qin Jun knew what she was thinking, he would have been exasperated. It seemed that after Li’s betting agreement, Daji already had some psychological preparation.

...

As dawn broke, the team continued on their way.

Qin Jun, riding inside a carriage, was able to continue his cultivation practices, which made Ye Xuan and the others quite envious.

"Had we known, we should have brought a carriage too," Yang Lan said sleepily. Zong Yan and Murong Xuan beside her weren’t fully awake either, but they didn’t comment.

The captain of the guard leading the way turned his head with a smile, "We’re taking a shortcut. It should take at most seven days to reach the Nanzhuo Dynasty, so hang in there."

Seven more days!

Yang Lan, Ye Xuan, Murong Xuan, and Zong Yan rolled their eyes involuntarily.

Zhu Yanqing said nothing, walking alone coldly, as if she inhabited a different world than the others.

About three hours later, nearing noon, the team caught sight of the outline of a city.

"If we pass directly through this city, it’ll be the fastest route, and we can also buy some provisions," Jia Xun said, stepping out of the carriage. The road they took diverted from the main trade route, which meant they only came across a limited number of cities, especially as they got closer to the Nanzhuo Dynasty, where the cities of the Canglan Kingdom were more sparsely distributed.

Everyone naturally had no objections and immediately headed towards the city ahead.

"Why are there so many bones of demonic beasts on the ground?" Yang Lan suddenly asked, stepping toward a canine-like skeleton in the bushes as she did so.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that bones were scattered everywhere, mostly those of demonic beasts, but there were human remains too. Some beast carcasses weren’t even fully decomposed, with flies buzzing around and a foul stench pervading the air.
