Chapter 1253: Chapter 1253: An Eternal Existence

"Hmm?"

Qin Jun turned his head to look, and the other God and Demon did the same, eyeing the three figures flying towards them with some caution.

"Another Saint?"

Qin Jun raised his eyebrow and asked, seemingly only finding it peculiar within the Eight Wilderness when encountering beings below the realm of Saints.

Ji Bubai nodded, "That skeleton is in the middle stage of the Saint realm, and the two beside it are in the early stage of the Saint realm, they are neither Human Clan nor Demon Clan."

Although they were cautious, they were utterly without fear.

Even Huo Zhenyu, who had reached the perfection of the Saint realm, lay on the ground, so what were these lackeys?

Soon, the black-robed skeleton, accompanied by the two Saints, flew above the group and sneered, "Hand over your storage rings, or we’ll flay your skin and drain your blood!"

The crowd wore peculiar expressions.

Yang Jian, Fuxi, and Li Yuanba all burst forth with their formidable auras, making the black-robed skeleton and the other two Saints hesitate.

Houtu, God of Death, Ji Bubai, and Sun Wukong also released their auras, particularly Sun Wukong and Ji Bubai, which scared the black-robed skeleton into shivering.

They had come over upon hearing the roar of battle, arriving just as the fight had paused, and seeing so many people, they immediately harbored malicious thoughts.

In the Eight Wilderness, most of the Human Clan cultivators were relatively weak, and the Saints were mostly solitary, so they hadn’t thought much of it.

Most importantly, they were neither Human Clan nor Demon Clan and had not cultivated Divine Consciousness; they could not probe the cultivation of other creatures from a distance. However, this place was at the edge of the Eight Wilderness, and the three of them, all Saints, should have felt fearless, having killed many beings that intruded into the Eight Wilderness.

Unfortunately, this time they had run into Qin Jun and his group.

"Three fools!"

Huo Zhenyu cursed from the ground.

The black-robed skeleton looked down at him and nearly lost his soul in fright, quavering, "Huo Zhenyu... how come you..."

A Saint captured?

What kind of monsters were these people?

"Yuanba."

Qin Jun’s mouth twitched, and he softly commanded. As his words fell, Li Yuanba sprang into action, his right hand wielding the Universe ruler to strike.

Yang Jian followed closely behind, and the two teamed up leaving no suspense in the outcome.

Startled, the black-robed skeleton turned and fled, while Qin Jun turned to face Huo Zhenyu.

"Lead us to find the Desert God, and afterwards, we will help you get the Cangwu Pearl!"

Qin Jun stated indifferently, making Huo Zhenyu grind his teeth in frustration.

"I really don’t know..."

Huo Zhenyu roared in anger, his eyes almost glowing red.

Why did he have to run into this group of people?

At this moment, Qin Jun produced a small white jade bottle, revealing a mischievous smile. "This is the venom sac of a wicked serpent. If ingested, even a Saint will fall into lust, indifferent to whoever is before them, craving to... If I let you take it, and then find you a giant beast..."

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhenyu’s eyes bulged in disbelief.

The others also paused for a moment, with Lin Yuqi’s face turning red in an instant, and even Houtu showed a strange expression.

After a while, Ji Bubai finally exclaimed, "The son is now accomplished!"

The God of Death was speechless, and even the usually stoic Torch Dragon couldn’t help shaking its head with a snicker.

Tathāgata, looking at the white jade bottle in Qin Jun’s hand, felt a surge of emotions as his beloved disciple had once been ruined by such a substance.

"Do you really intend to be this shameless?"

Huo Zhenyu forcefully suppressed the urge to rampage and asked. Of course, even if he did rampage, it would be futile.

"Wukong, pry open his mouth!"

Qin Jun feigned a stern face and ordered.

"Sure!"

Sun Wukong responded, his face showing an excited smile.

This scared the daylights out of Huo Zhenyu. Although he didn’t fully believe in the potency of the poison as Qin Jun claimed, with so many powerhouses under Qin Jun’s command, what if it were true?

He couldn’t risk this.

"I’ll take you!"

Huo Zhenyu cried out in alarm, his heart filled with grief and anger. As a venerable Saint, to fall to such a state, he almost wished he could bash his head against a wall and die.

But he was a Saint, and there was no wall in the world that could kill him.

Qin Jun put away the white jade vial into his storage ring with a flip of his hand, a cold smile appearing on his face.

This poison wasn’t so mystical; it couldn’t poison a Saint. He was merely bluffing Huo Zhenyu.

If it were him, he wouldn’t dare gamble either.

Because the consequence would be too humiliating for anyone.

Simultaneously, the distant battle was also nearing its end, with Li Yuanba and Yang Jian teaming up, overwhelming the black-robed skeletons and the other three Saints.

About the time of one incense stick had passed, the battle concluded.

Patriarch Bodhi untied Huo Zhenyu. His cultivation was far above Huo Zhenyu’s, so he wasn’t worried about Huo Zhenyu escaping.

"Lead the way!"

Qin Jun said to Huo Zhenyu, who was wearing an expression of reluctance, finding some amusement in toying with a Saint.

"Fine!"

Huo Zhenyu gritted his teeth and turned to fly off into the distance, with Qin Jun and the others closely following behind.

Because of the aerial restriction in the Eight Wilderness, they couldn’t fly for long periods, needing to land after a bit of flight, much like long-distance jumping.

After about two hours, they flew over a vast lake and entered a huge canyon, with cliffs thousands of feet high on both sides. Looking ahead, the winding path of the canyon seemed endless.

"As to precisely where the Wilderness God is, I’m not sure. I can only bring you to the places where he’s been sighted to look for traces."

Huo Zhenyu turned and spoke to Qin Jun, realizing along the way that these Saints were very obedient to Qin Jun, including Patriarch Bodhi.

This shocked him to the core. He could tell that Patriarch Bodhi must have transcended Saint status. Such a being, even in top-tier powers, would be a major figure. How could he willingly follow the instructions of a Daluo beginner immortal?

Heavenly Emperor of Qin...

The Heavenly Emperor?

Could it be the reincarnation of the ancient Heavenly Emperor?

The more he thought about it, the more probable it seemed, making his attitude towards Qin Jun increasingly respectful.

Of course, if it were possible, he would still try to escape.

"Let’s hope you don’t play any tricks, otherwise, next time, I won’t be so gentle."

Qin Jun said meaningfully, causing the corners of Huo Zhenyu’s mouth to twitch.

Gentle?

Even Lin Yuqi couldn’t help but try to hold back a laugh.

Huo Zhenyu’s forehead throbbed as he steeled himself to walk into the canyon.

A cold wind blew through the canyon, carrying with it the eerie sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

"Ever since the Eight Wilderness was discovered by the inner universe, the Wilderness God has existed within the Eight Wilderness, even hailed as one of the longest-living beings so far."

Huo Zhenyu walked and spoke, attempting to convey to Qin Jun the terrible might of the Wilderness God.

"Has the Wilderness God never left the Eight Wilderness?"

Li Yuanba asked in confusion, wondering why such a powerful being would stay holed up in the Eight Wilderness.

If it were him, he’d go mad with such confinement.

Huo Zhenyu shook his head, "He never set a foot outside."

"It’s because of the fear that the Wilderness God might leave the Eight Wilderness that the top powers are extremely wary, even joining forces to act, but all to no avail."

As he said this, a look of admiration appeared on Huo Zhenyu’s face.

If he had the power of the Wilderness God, he could go anywhere in the myriad universes—

Who would be able to do anything against him?

Alas, it was just a thought. The strength of the Wilderness God was beyond his imagination.

"The Torch Dragon is one of the most powerful beings in the universe, having lived so long, of course it’s invincible!"

Ji Bubai snorted proudly, his face full of self-satisfaction, as if speaking of himself.

Someone rolled their eyes and said, "Give it a rest, your clan was nearly annihilated."

"That can’t be said. Among today’s races, the Torch Dragon race is one of the most ancient, even if only one remains. Compared to it, the Human Clan seems very young," Huo Zhenyu shook his head, clearly holding the Torch Dragon in high esteem.
