Chapter 1317: Chapter 1317: The Flame Path

One incense stick of time later.

"Ding! Side quest completed—The Wrath of the Baili Clan! Obtained one Dao inheritance opportunity, two ultimate awakening chances, one opportunity to listen to the Dao, two God and Demon summoning chances, one designated God and Demon summoning chance, one God and Demon pinnacle opportunity, and one loyal pinnacle opportunity!"

The system notification echoed in Qin Jun’s mind, making him feel elated.

One Dao inheritance opportunity!

Two ultimate awakening chances!

Qin Jun started laughing, making Hou Yi who was beside him look at him in surprise.

"Your Majesty, what’s wrong?" Hou Yi asked, puzzled.

At that moment, Yang Jian suddenly appeared before him and said, "Within the Baili Clan, anyone who did not submit to Your Majesty has been slaughtered; the Baili Clan now only exists in name!"

The Baili Clan had only one Supreme Dao being, that was Baili Honggang.

So, before Yang Jian, the once mighty Baili Clan across the universe seemed as fragile as a paper tiger.

"Well done!"

Qin Jun said with a smile. He looked around and declared, "From now on, this universe will bear the surname Qin after a period of rest here!"

While speaking, he commanded in his heart, "Let’s draw the Dao inheritance first!"

The Dao inheritance should be randomly drawn before deciding whom to give it to.

No matter which Dao it is, he was very much looking forward to it.

"Ding! Starting the random draw for Dao inheritance!"

The system notification followed immediately, and soon after, under the guidance of Yang Jian, Qin Jun and Hou Yi started traversing this universe.

Their Divine Consciousness swept through, and along the way, every star they encountered breathed with life, inhabited by various races, mostly of the Human Clan.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have drawn the Fiery Flame Dao inheritance!"

The Fiery Flame Dao?

Qin Jun’s mind instinctively thought of the Fire God, God of Fire Zhu Rong; he would definitely be compatible with the Fiery Flame Dao.

Unfortunately, Zhu Rong was not behind him; he would have to wait until next time to use it on Zhu Rong.

And there were two ultimate awakening chances, but for whom?

Qin Jun started to ponder, and the next second, they disappeared into the depths of the universe.

A day later, a piece of news shocked the entire inner universe.

It even overshadowed the attention on Xia Shenwu.

The Baili Clan had been annihilated!

The Heavenly Emperor of Qin led Yang Jian to the Baili Clan’s universe!

As soon as the message was relayed, it alarmed countless fairy realms, powers, sects.

Even the God Temple, Ancient Demon God Temple, Ancestral Human Hall, Mysterious Saint Peak could not stay calm.

"The Baili Clan has been wiped out? How is that possible?"

"The Heavenly Emperor of Qin is too cruel, right? Isn’t it enough to kill Baili Honggang, but to also exterminate the clan?"

"Hmph, don’t you know? The Baili Clan sent people to assassinate the Heavenly Emperor of Qin, which enraged him!"

"Is this an era of old and new replacement?"

"Is there no one who can stop the Heavenly Emperor of Qin?"

"With Great Emperor Xia Shenwu’s return, even if the Heavenly Emperor of Qin has Yang Jian and the protection of the Desert God, he will still have to submit!"

The whole starry sky was discussing this matter; the Heavenly Emperor of Qin’s dominance chilled major forces, while the lesser ones merely watched with interest, as they had no contact with the Heavenly Emperor of Qin anyway.

Meanwhile, with the news of Xia Shenwu’s imminent return, countless creatures looked forward to seeing Xia Shenwu trample over the Heavenly Emperor of Qin.

Soon, there was news that the Heavenly Emperor of Qin would also participate in the peerless battle!

And that he would participate in person!

This news excited countless cultivators, as the Heavenly Emperor of Qin was a hugely famous figure at the time; who wouldn’t want to make a name for themselves by stepping on him?

Although the Heavenly Emperor of Qin’s subordinates were strong, the Heavenly Emperor of Qin himself was considered quite weak!

In no time, countless cultivators and ancient monstrous figures vowed to let the Heavenly Emperor of Qin die on the Supreme God Island.

Meanwhile, Qin Jun had already chosen the location for the Great Qin Heavenly Court in the inner universe.

"From now on, let’s call this island the Heavenly Emperor Island," Qin Jun said with a smile, looking at a boundlessly large giant island in front of him. The Baili universe was filled with stars, grand worlds, and countless islands. This island had the richest spiritual energy and the largest area, instantly catching Qin Jun’s eye.

The island’s shape closely resembled that of a sailboat, surrounded by countless meteorites, its spiritual energy so dense that it turned into a foggy sea, akin to a mirage over the ocean.

"The spiritual energy of this island is so abundant, yet it has not become the domain of the Baili Clan—there must be a catch," Hou Yi furrowed his brow and said.

The spiritual energy of the Baili Clan’s domain was nothing compared to this island.

Qin Jun smiled and said, "Perhaps this place is a forbidden land, but the energy here could help the Great Qin Heavenly Court leap forward, we cannot miss this opportunity."

The Great Qin Heavenly Court, compared to other forces, was too young.

To keep up with the average cultivation of the inner universe, places of blessing like this were essential.

To practice for one day here is to practice for dozens of days elsewhere!

"I’ll go up and have a look first!"

Yang Jian said in a deep voice, and then took the lead flying toward the giant island.

Even as a Dao Supreme, equipped with Supreme-level divine eyes, he could not see through the island; it was exceedingly mysterious.

Qin Jun thought to himself, "The Baili Clan couldn’t possibly allow a hidden danger they can’t control within their own universe."

The greatest strength of the Baili Clan was the Baili Honggang, but even he was no match for Yang Jian—this was why Qin Jun had agreed to let Yang Jian enter the island.

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"

Hou Yi muttered. Qin Jun glared at him and said with irritation, "Jinx!"

The stars once again fell silent.

About half an incense stick’s worth of time passed, and Yang Jian still hadn’t come out. Qin Jun’s brow furrowed, and Hou Yi’s did the same.

Yang Jian was a Dao Supreme; it would only take him a few breaths to search the entire island. Why hadn’t he come out yet?

Could there indeed be a problem?

With that thought, Qin Jun’s heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Yang Jian was his strongest subordinate, and the general he trusted most. If something went wrong, he couldn’t bear to think about it.

"Your Majesty, should I go in and have a look?"

Hou Yi asked through gritted teeth. He couldn’t let Qin Jun take the risk, so he had to offer himself.

"Don’t rush."

Qin Jun raised his hand and said, his gaze fixed on the giant island enveloped in spiritual fog, which now took on a layer of terrifying hues.

Boom—

At that moment, the giant island began to tremble.

A frigid breath, almost imperceptible, emanated from within, followed by a voice that came from nowhere: "Who dares to disturb... my rest..."

There really was something!

The expressions on Qin Jun and Hou Yi’s faces turned to horror.

Could it be that Yang Jian had been trapped, or even...

"Impossible! Yang Jian is a Dao Supreme!"

Qin Jun muttered to himself. A Dao Supreme already represented the pinnacle of combat power in the inner universe, how could anyone silently kill a Dao Supreme?

The spiritual fog surrounding the giant island began to churn, like white dragons swimming, majestic and surging.

"How long has it been..."

The voice spoke again, as if just waking from a great dream.

As soon as the voice faded, Qin Jun and Hou Yi felt a terrifying suction force emanating from within the island, so powerful that even Hou Yi could not resist it.

The two were quickly drawn into the island.

"What’s going on..."

Qin Jun resisted, biting his teeth and transforming into his Extreme Flame Demon God form, but it was still in vain against that force.

"System! Help me, quick!"

Qin Jun shouted in his mind; he did not want to die here.

"The system is helpless; the opponent’s cultivation is above the fifth level of the Dao Supreme realm!"

The system responded quickly, causing Qin Jun’s heart to tremble.

The fifth level of the Dao Supreme realm!

And that was the lowest estimate...

"Is there really no way?"

Qin Jun growled through gritted teeth, and at the same time, he and Hou Yi were sucked into a dense forest. Most of the trees here stood thousands of feet tall, and the underbrush was no less lofty, striking their bodies like blades.
