The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 1257: Subduing the Saint Monarch with One Hand

Chapter 1257: Chapter 1257: Subduing the Saint Monarch with One Hand

Sun Wukong’s staff smashed down, and the raging sandstorm was pressed into a distortion, forming a vast concave shape, creating an incredibly spectacular scene.

An indescribable, domineering power thunderously descended, directly blasting the desert apart, as rolling sands and stones were flung into the air like waves, striking in all directions.

"How dare you!"

A voice filled with authority angrily exploded, and Li Yuanba as well as Yang Jian acted simultaneously, vanishing into the swirling sandstorm, while Huo Zhenyu directly burrowed into the ground.

Standing within the golden light, Qin Jun couldn’t discern the situation of the battle, but faintly, he saw a huge dark shadow emerge from within the storm, somewhat visible, somewhat hidden.

In front of the shadow, they seemed incredibly tiny.

"The realm of a Saint, reaching close to the Heavenly Dao Supreme!"

Patriarch Bodhi softly said, true to be a being that could leave the Saint Lords helpless.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

The sounds of explosions were endless as Sun Wukong, Li Yuanba, and Yang Jian fought fiercely against Cangwu.

Sun Wukong’s eyes emitted two beams of golden light, which cleared the sandstorm, revealing the head of Cangwu.

The head was similar to that of a mantis, a deep purple color, with just the width of the head reaching a thousand zhang. Its four eyes were dreadfully sinister, like dark green mountains embedded on its head, and its body, resembling that of a lizard, had a back full of sharp spines.

An absolute behemoth!

But Sun Wukong and the others were not afraid of it, especially Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, who used Law of Heaven and Earth to transform into ten thousand zhang giants.

Although Li Yuanba had not transformed, his Universe Ruler grew in size. As it swung, ferocious winds howled for millions upon millions of li, maybe even further. Together with Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and Cangwu, the area within a million li became a land of deadly wind blades, with sand turning into fatal weapons, extremely sharp.

Boom——

Li Yuanba flew like a cannonball, his form brutally sweeping through the sky full of sand, flying out for hundreds of millions of li, and finally crashed into a mountain, causing the entire mountain to shatter.

"Damn it!"

Li Yuanba cursed through gritted teeth, slammed his left hand against the mountain wall, and the force shook him as he once again swept towards Cangwu.

Sun Wukong ceaselessly waved his Chaos Purple Gold Rod, hitting Cangwu repeatedly, to no avail in causing any injury, but still making Cangwu howl continuously, apparently in pain.

"You damn monkey!"

Cangwu roared, after all, the Chaos Purple Gold Rod was a Chaos spiritual treasure, incredibly heavy and hard, and even with its amazing defense, if it were incessantly hit, it would ultimately suffer internal injuries.

Yang Jian, holding his Universal Scepter, shot beams from his Supreme Third Eye occasionally, also disrupting Cangwu.

Cangwu, increasingly irritated by the group attack, suddenly lowered its head with a roar, and then its sharp spines shot out from its back, targeting Yang Jian and Sun Wukong. The speed was so fast that they couldn’t dodge in time and endured successive injuries.

"So strong..."

The Torch Dragon muttered, unable to clearly see the specifics of the battle, but could feel that oppressive aura, even while inside the circle of golden light.

"It seems that without several days and nights, it will be hard to determine the victor."

Patriarch Bodhi stroked his beard and chuckled, looking unperturbed as though he didn’t consider Cangwu a threat.

With a loud bang!

Huo Zhenyu suddenly burst from the ground, appearing outside the circle of golden light, holding a crimson pearl the size of a ping-pong ball, seemingly containing a universe within, with countless stars twinkling inside.

The Cangwu Pearl!

"We can retreat now!"

Huo Zhenyu excitedly said, having obtained the Cangwu Pearl, he had the hope of breaking through to the Heavenly Dao Supreme and becoming the ultimate sovereign.

Whoosh——

Just then, a tearing sound came through the air, and amidst the boundless sandstorm, a beam of golden light leaped forward, its momentum soaring to the skies, causing Huo Zhenyu’s expression to drastically change.

"Ji Longyuan! Why is it him!"

Huo Zhenyu cried out in alarm, for he held immense dread toward Ji Longyuan.

Known as the strongest evil presence of all time, Ji Longyuan had become a figure who reigned uncontested within the inner universe, his status barely weaker than that of the Nine Saint Lords.

"Saint Lord Huo! This treasure, I’m taking it!"

Ji Longyuan’s voice boomed, imperious and utterly dismissive of Huo Zhenyu.

Ji Longyuan?

Upon hearing Huo Zhenyu’s shout, Qin Jun felt puzzled, Who else could this person be?

"Ji Longyuan? Could it be that very strongest evil presence of all time?"

Fuxi exclaimed with surprise and uncertainty, clearly recognizing the name.

Even Torch Dragon looked pale, for when he had ventured into the inner universe in the past, Ji Longyuan’s fame was at its zenith, shining like the midday sun with boundless splendor, and now he had become a first-rate powerhouse.

Lin Yuqi blinked, having followed Qin Jun, she had found that legendary figures kept emerging one after another, and she found this feeling quite extraordinary.

Soon, Ji Longyuan arrived above Huo Zhenyu, this time clad in a black robe patterned with beast motifs. Sand and wind howled, making his robe flutter and his phoenix feathers on his head sway. He looked down at Huo Zhenyu as if he were just a pebble.

How could Huo Zhenyu possibly hand it over?

Suppressing his anger, he said in a deep voice, "Ji Longyuan, must you be so domineering?"

"Hmm? Won’t hand it over?"

Ji Longyuan asked contemptuously, his gaze drifting to Qin Jun and the others, or more precisely, landing on Patriarch Bodhi.

Although Ji Bubai, Torch Dragon, and others were saints, they did not pique his interest, but it was Patriarch Bodhi whom he could not see through.

"Could it be a Supreme of the Heavenly Dao?"

Ji Longyuan mused, yet even if it were a Supreme of the Heavenly Dao, he was not afraid.

Huo Zhenyu did not speak, his body turning golden, and a bull-horned golden staff appeared in his hand. His muscles on the shoulders bulged as he clenched his fists, instantly readying for battle.

"Hmph! So overconfident! Even Zhao Han Yao, among the Nine Saint Lords, is not my opponent. What makes you think you can win?"

Ji Longyuan scorned with a laugh, worsening Huo Zhenyu’s already ugly expression.

Zhao Han Yao was the strongest presence among the Nine Saint Lords, rumored to be on the verge of surpassing sainthood.

To protect the Cangwu Pearl, Huo Zhenyu struck first.

His dual arms on the shoulders swung out fists, and two Golden Dragons roared forth, kicking up billowing sand, aiming to devour Ji Longyuan.

Ji Longyuan dodged with a shimmer, instantly appearing behind Huo Zhenyu, his speed so swift that it caused Huo Zhenyu’s pupils to dilate.

"Huo Zhenyu, you seem to grow bolder!"

Ji Longyuan’s gaze was icy, with a faint glint of cold light.

As he spoke, he thrust his knee into Huo Zhenyu’s back, the terrifying force causing Huo Zhenyu’s spine to break instantly. His body flew forward, smashed against the golden light barrier, stunning observers like Ji Bubai, Torch Dragon, and Fuxi.

What incredible speed!

Ji Bubai clenched her fists tightly, her eyes glued to Ji Longyuan.

"A Saint in the complete realm, but his power has already exceeded sainthood!"

Patriarch Bodhi squinted, remarking. Was this the strength of the strongest evil presence of all time?

Huo Zhenyu felt both humiliated and angry, turning to attack Ji Longyuan, but Ji Longyuan was already behind him. His right hand reached out, pressing against Huo Zhenyu’s face as he was turning around, terror filling Huo Zhenyu’s eyes through the gaps between Ji Longyuan’s fingers.

Ji Longyuan looked down on him from above, his eyes brimming with disdain.

With one hand, he pinned Huo Zhenyu against the golden light barrier, immobilizing him, and Ji Longyuan’s domineering stance struck awe into Ji Bubai and the others.

"This guy is powerful..."

Fuxi said in a grave voice, his fists clenched. He was dismayed to realize that even as a saint, he could not block every enemy for Qin Jun.
