The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 1256: The Beginning

Chapter 1256: Chapter 1256: The Beginning

"Where did he go?"

Ji Bubai asked curiously, his dead path similarly filled with puzzlement, as neither had sensed any spatial fluctuations, yet the black hole had indeed appeared.

"What was that just now?"

Houtu asked in surprise, her eyes filled with wonder as she looked at Qin Jun.

She hadn’t expected that Qin Jun, merely a Daluo beginner, had mastered divine powers that even a saint could not see through.

"Ah! Tathāgata old man is about to ascend to heaven!" Li Yuanba exclaimed.

Yang Jian, Fuxi, and Sun Wukong all showed complex expressions. How powerful could Tathāgata become?

"What is His Majesty’s background after all?"

Lin Yuqi stared at the enigmatic man before her, lost in thought.

At first, she thought Qin Jun was the scion of a powerful force, but now it seemed not to be the case.

True Person of the Jade Cauldron and Torch Dragon, although they said nothing, were also filled with astonishment. What tactic was that black hole that had swallowed Tathāgata?

Facing everyone’s surprise, Qin Jun gave a mysterious smile and offered no explanation.

Now, he was not worried about exposing his system, and although everyone had seen the black hole, they didn’t know it was a system.

In fact, most of them didn’t even know what a system was.

Unless they had been to a world of technological civilization.

Patriarch Bodhi took a deep breath, suddenly feeling his position as the top treasure at risk again.

Within the Heavenly Court of Great Qin, the throne of the strongest was famously rotational.

Even if he had reached the Saintly realm of the Heavenly Dao, how long could he maintain it?

This time it was Tathāgata.

Next time it could well be Fuxi, Torch Dragon.

Just then, Huo Zhenyu suddenly flew in, looking quite miserable with his left leg severed, trailing blood behind him. On spotting Qin Jun and the others, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly flew over.

"How did this guy come back?"

Sun Wukong muttered, the others equally puzzled.

Not being sealed away was lucky enough, yet he still dared to fly over!

"Your Majesty, Heavenly Emperor of Qin! I have something to report!"

Huo Zhenyu called out urgently, and before his voice had died down, he had landed atop the mountain peak.

Sun Wukong raised his staff, demanding, "What business do you have? Are you seeking death?"

Huo Zhenyu hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "No, no! It’s about the Demon from earlier!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun immediately became interested, raising an eyebrow, "Speak!"

The others felt the same, the demonic aura from earlier was indeed shocking, and they had never felt such terrifying demonic energy before; it was hard to imagine how strong the original must have been.

"This demon is one of the most terrifying existences in the Eight Wilderness, second only to the god of desolation. It is said that he is one of the ancestors of the ancient Devil Clan, immensely powerful, untouchable even by the Heavenly Dao. He has been sleeping in the Eight Wilderness for countless years, and each time he wakes, countless beings perish, even destroying universes."

"I was so cautious earlier because I was afraid of disturbing him."

Huo Zhenyu said with a bitter face, thinking it was just a legend, but the ancient Demon Ancestor really was sleeping in that valley, and had woken up!

"Really?"

Sun Wukong was skeptical, retorting, "So dangerous, yet you went there?"

Huo Zhenyu was embarrassingly lost for words.

Qin Jun inquired, "What is the name of this Demon Ancestor?"

"Primordial!"

This name made everyone frown.

The meaning of Primordial often referred to the beginning of the universe.

With such a name, it showed just how ancient this Demon Ancestor’s origins were.

"Alright, you can go now."

Qin Jun waved his hand, dismissing Huo Zhenyu as useless to him now that he knew of the Primordial Demon Ancestor.

Huo Zhenyu didn’t want to leave just yet, gritting his teeth, "With the emergence of Primordial, a storm of blood will rise, the Eight Wilderness might be blood washed, help me secure the Cangwu Pearl, and I will surely repay you! Spirit stones, magical treasures, none of these are a problem!"

"He’s still obsessing over the Cangwu Pearl."

"I want a Chaos spiritual treasure, do you have any?" Qin Jun taunted with a laugh, thinking that this guy really had a death wish.

The two were already opponents, yet he dared to ask Qin Jun for help?

"Sure!"

Huo Zhenyu gritted his teeth, willing to pay any price for the Cangwu Pearl.

Huh?

Qin Jun looked at him unexpectedly and said cheerfully, "What about the ultimate Chaos treasure then!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhenyu’s eyes widened, and he waved his hands, saying, "How could I possibly have such an item, the treasure that guards our sect?"

Qin Jun’s eyes shifted, knowing that a Chaos spiritual treasure was worth several hundred billion in fame value—too good an opportunity to miss.

He currently had no leads on finding the Wilderness God anyway.

"Lead the way!"

Qin Jun declared, sweeping his sleeve. Huo Zhenyu was overjoyed. With only one leg, he hopped excitedly on the spot like a one-legged chicken, which was quite comical.

And so, Qin Jun and the others followed Huo Zhenyu toward the location of Cangwu.

The appearance of the Primordial Demon Ancestor didn’t disturb the entire Eight Wildernesses due to their immense size.

He woke up, and in an extremely short amount of time, disappeared as if he had never appeared.

...

In the inner universe, amidst a brilliant starry sky.

South Night Star maneuvered through an asteroid belt, still only in his Primordial Spirit form, flying like a streak of light.

Days had passed since the Great Battle at Holy Sect, and the entire universe laughed at him, a humiliation he found unbearable.

Nearly all his junior brothers had perished tragically. This vengeance would definitely not be so easily forgotten.

"Heavenly Emperor Qin! Without avenging this, I am unworthy of being called a Holy Sovereign!"

Every time South Night Star thought of Qin Jun and Sun Wukong’s faces, he twisted his own in hatred.

The mighty Holy Sect had been destroyed, and he still couldn’t accept this reality.

How much resource and time had he invested in the Holy Sect, and all his brothers had fallen. How many years would it take for him to reach his current level again?

Soon, he flew out of the asteroid belt. Ahead was an island resembling a cicada’s pupa, with many tall towers on it, countless creatures flying in and out.

...

In the Eight Wildernesses.

In an endless desert, Qin Jun and the others followed Huo Zhenyu strolling along.

"Cangwu is hidden here, this fellow is outrageously strong, considered a top existence amongst the saints, and his defense is terrifyingly powerful."

Huo Zhenyu cautioned Qin Jun and the others, excited at the thought of obtaining the Cangwu Pearl.

"Defense? In front of my Chaos Purple Golden Rod, defense is a joke!"

Sun Wukong scoffed, making Huo Zhenyu roll his eyes.

The others seemed a bit nervous, after all, this was an entity that even complete realm saints couldn’t handle.

"There’s something ahead."

Patriarch Bodhi spoke, causing everyone to focus ahead.

All they could see was blowing sand, and beyond a thousand meters, visibility was nil, other creatures not discernible.

But Patriarch Bodhi, being a supreme sage of Heavenly Dao, his perception wouldn’t be wrong.

Li Yuanba took out his Universe Ruler, cursing, "You beast! Show yourself now!"

Yang Jian also wanted to join the battle, drawing out his Universe Tri-pointed Knife.

The other God and Demon were not as eager to battle, including Ji Bubai.

At this moment, Ji Bubai’s entire focus was on the Wilderness God, urging, "Hurry up and settle this! Best to attack all at once!"

"Cangwu! Come out now!"

Huo Zhenyu shouted loudly, and as his voice fell, a surging murderous intent came from the ground, shocking the entire desert into violent trembling, and a sandstorm rose, blanketing the sky.

Instantly, Sun Wukong leapt into action. Patriarch Bodhi waved his right hand, sending out a golden lotus that hung inverted above their heads, emitting golden light that enveloped them.
