The Strongest Mythical Emperor

Chapter 1180: Chapter 1180: The Mysterious Pond Opens

Xiao Rushui and Di Tianwu successively departed, and the starscape once again became noisy.

On the surface, Heavenly Emperor of Qin and Di Tianwu seemed to be evenly matched, it was just that the first prodigy made a move and ended the fight.

So Heavenly Emperor of Qin did not lose, thinking this way, the creatures were extremely excited.

Even the first prodigy had said that Heavenly Emperor of Qin and Di Tianwu could possibly be the next generation’s first prodigy, this battle could completely be called the battle for the Investiture of the Gods.

This time, Heavenly Emperor of Qin proved himself.

He wasn’t merely relying on his subordinates, his personal talent was also overwhelmingly strong, even more exceptional than Di Tianwu.

Di Tianwu was known as a one-in-a-million-year talent.

What about Heavenly Emperor of Qin then?

One-in-ten-million years?

Or is it that a Heavenly Emperor of Qin only appears once every hundred million years?

Spies and lone practitioners from various powers hurriedly spread the news, believing that it wouldn’t take many days for this battle to shock the entire universe.

"Heave—" Qin Jun took a deep breath, even though he had used every trick in the book, defeating Di Tianwu was still too difficult.

After all, Di Tianwu was a fully accomplished entity in entering the realm of the sage, even capable of fighting against newly Manifesting Saints. If Qin Jun could defeat him, it meant he had the power to rival the strength of Manifesting Saints.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Li Yuanba asked with concern, as he too was startled by Xiao Rushui’s move previously, due to the gap in their realms. Xiao Rushui felt to them as unfathomable as the celestial beings presiding over Qin Jun, potent and profound.

Qin Jun shook his head and smiled, his gaze sweeping to other directions.

After a great battle, the starscape was filled with a smoky haze, like fairy mist, the creatures of the distant lands flickering in and out of visibility.

Sun Wukong scratched his head and asked, "Was that person just now the first prodigy? Indeed quite formidable."

He once declared himself the Supreme Heaven Great Sage, which showed his interest in reputation. He was naturally curious about the rankings of the three thousand prodigies, but his cultivation was too low to be listed.

After this battle, Qin Jun would certainly make a strong entry onto the list of the three thousand prodigies.

Next, Qin Jun had no desire to continue fighting; having fought Di Tianwu to a draw, he figured the other prodigies would not dare to challenge him further.

Ye Nanfeng, Sikong Jingsuan, and Kun Qu also disappeared without a trace at some point, presumably in pursuit of Di Tianwu or Xiao Rushui.

"Let’s go!"

Qin Jun said softly, turning around and flying back in the direction from which he had come.

Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba quickly followed him.

Seeing this, Mo Xuanzi also hurriedly chased after Qin Jun. It had been no easy feat to encounter Qin Jun again. How could he pass up the opportunity to curry favor?

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny watched Qin Jun’s retreating figure, sighed, and reflected on the short time that had passed. Whether in terms of power or personal strength, he had been left far behind by Qin Jun.

"I call myself Destiny, heh, a laughable destiny."

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny chuckled self-deprecatingly and turned to leave.

Witnessing the great battle between Qin Jun and Di Tianwu, his confidence was once again heavily struck by Qin Jun.

Qiu Wuyu also snapped back to reality and hurriedly pursued Qin Jun, along with the hundred or so geniuses he led.

They were now resting in a valley with Qin Jun; the chance to cozy up was not one to be missed.

Previously, ignorance was excusable, but now that they knew Qin Jun was in fact Heavenly Emperor of Qin, the powerful and prestigious Heavenly Emperor of Qin, if they could befriend him, that would be a great opportunity.

After Qin Jun’s departure, the creatures also began to disperse.

Not all creatures had Qin Jun’s confidence and strength; naturally, they did not dare to challenge the prodigies en masse.

Meanwhile, Di Tianwu flew towards a green star, his eyebrows deeply furrowed, his mood extremely sour.

Given more time, he was confident that he could defeat Qin Jun; as for killing him, he had to give the Divine Emperor face and spare Qin Jun’s life.

Unfortunately, all his plans were upset by the unexpected appearance of Xiao Rushui.

He felt as though there was a rage burning inside him, ready to burst forth violently at any moment.

"Stop!"

Just then, Xiao Rushui appeared out of nowhere in front of him, startling him into halting immediately.

Dressed in ordinary black clothing and with virtually no presence, it was hard to guess that this person was the first prodigy.

Di Tianwu’s complexion suddenly turned ugly, and he ground his teeth before asking, "What’s the matter?"

Before Qin Jun appeared, he had only one competitor in his heart, and that was Xiao Rushui.

Others, such as Ye Nanfeng and Kun Qu, were not even worth his attention; in his view, he would eventually surpass these people. The only exception was Xiao Rushui, whom he found hard to catch up with.

Now, a new figure had emerged, the Heavenly Emperor of Qin.

"Do you realize you nearly died just now?"

Xiao Rushui folded his arms across his chest and sneered contemptuously, his eyes filled with disdain as if mocking Di Tianwu’s foolishness.

Nearly died?

Di Tianwu was taken aback, and with a grave voice, he asked, "What do you mean? Do you think I’m no match for the Heavenly Emperor of Qin?"

"Not the Heavenly Emperor of Qin," Xiao Rushui said with a shake of the head and a smile.

Di Tianwu immediately fell silent, then a look of horror crossed his face.

Could it be...

The most famous attribute of the Heavenly Emperor of Qin wasn’t his talent, but the countless strong followers under his command.

With such status, how would he travel without bringing along his subordinates?

At this thought, Di Tianwu broke out in cold sweat.

"Don’t let down the Divine Emperor’s high regard for you. He believes you can surpass me."

Xiao Rushui shook his head with a smile, and before his words even fully fell, his figure had vanished without a trace.

Di Tianwu hovered in place, full of shame and rage.

...

Returning to the valley, Qin Jun sat cross-legged on the ground to rest, with Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba standing in front of him, shielding him from Mo Xuanzi and other geniuses.

"Remember me, Heavenly Emperor of Qin? It’s Mo Xuanzi!"

Mo Xuanzi waved excitedly at Qin Jun, causing the corners of Qin Jun’s mouth to twitch.

Why is this guy everywhere?

The other geniuses also greeted Qin Jun, but he was not in the mood to pay them any attention.

"Scram!"

Sun Wukong roared furiously. Although his cultivation was not as profound as these geniuses, emboldened by Qin Jun, no creature dared to insult him, so they could only awkwardly disperse with a sheepish face.

Qiu Wuyu cast a complicated glance at Qin Jun but also chose not to disturb him.

In the following days, Qin Jun did not leave the valley, but the number of beings on this planet continued to grow; most came admiring Qin Jun, hoping to try their luck.

If one could befriend the Heavenly Emperor of Qin, it would be a great fortune indeed.

Qin Jun watched his fame value soar, his mood turning increasingly delightful.

"If this continues, I should be able to reach seven hundred billion fame value before the great battle with the Holy Sect."

Qin Jun happily thought, wondering just how strong Sun Wukong with the Chaos spiritual treasure and after an extreme awakening would be.

He was looking forward to it.

About six days passed.

The Xuan Pool was finally about to open.

An aurora lit up the entire planet, passing over mountains and oceans, sweeping across the valley where Qin Jun was.

Qiu Wuyu stood up abruptly and solemnly announced, "The Xuan Pool is about to open wide; prepare yourselves!"

At these words, all beings rose to their feet.

Including Qin Jun, everyone anticipated what the scene of the Holy Sect would truly be like.

A small world?

Or another universe?

"Follow me and don’t fall behind!"

After speaking, Qiu Wuyu leaped up, followed by streams of beings trailing behind him, soaring towards the sky like a meteor shower.

Qin Jun had never been to the Xuan Pool in all this time, for the Xuan Pool had not appeared; ahead, a cluster of bright light shone, its source unknown.
