The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 1500: Nether Bug Clan

Chapter 1500: Chapter 1500: Nether Bug Clan

Lackey?

Xuandang grew even more annoyed, but his attention was focused on the mysterious powerhouse in front of him, his eyes showing a hint of wariness.

This person was enshrouded in purple mist, barely revealing the outline of their body, seemingly youthful, around one meter twenty in height. Yet, facing Xuandang, their aura was not in the least bit inferior.

"Who are you?"

Xuandang asked in a deep voice, could it be that Shi Wei already had a powerful backer, having secretly colluded with other forces?

"Who I am is not important, but you are not worthy to be the leader of the Human Clan." The mysterious person sneered, their words filled with disdain, showing zero regard for Xuandang.

Shi Wei slowly rose to his feet, fixing his gaze on Xuandang as he said, "Ancestor, it’s time for the Human Clan to be self-reliant."

"Self-reliant? You need helpers for being self-reliant?"

Sun Wukong scorned, the crowd was not alarmed; with Li Bai present, why fear this mysterious figure?

Ignoring Sun Wukong’s mockery, Shi Wei said, "He’s not a helper. Ancestor, Heavenly Emperor, you may leave. Let’s pretend this never happened."

Gu Xibai and the other five emperors looked at Shi Wei and the mysterious figure in astonishment; clearly, they had no idea about the existence of this mysterious person.

"Shi Wei, what are you doing?" Gu Xibai hurriedly demanded, his face full of anger.

Shi Wei daring to bring in an unknown strong figure to confront Xuandang and the Heavenly Emperor was like an act of betrayal and disillusionment.

The rest of the four emperors had grim expressions, but none spoke out; although they were fearful of the mysterious person’s appearance, they were more unwilling to hand over the Human King’s cauldron.

Without the qi movement of the Human Clan, their cultivation path ahead would be fraught with extreme difficulty.

"Xuandang, step down."

Qin Jun spoke, and Zhao Yun sitting beside the Supreme Nine-Dragon Throne showed a look of disdain, seeing through the cultivation of the mysterious person at a glance.

Upon hearing this, Xuandang had no choice but to step back, grinding his teeth.

"That’s more like it. Heavenly Emperor, it’s no longer the Chaos at the dawn of time; your Supreme Great Dao cultivation can’t stir much of a storm now," Shi Wei softly said, his expression calm and his tone indifferent, causing Xuandang to grit his teeth in rage.

"Ding! Sub-quest trigger—Shi Wei’s Disdain! Quest details: Shi Wei harbors disdain for the host. If the host eliminates him and his helper, you will gain a chance for a Great Dao inheritance and a chance to summon a God and Demon!"

A system notification suddenly resounded in Qin Jun’s mind, making him reveal a contemptuous sneer.

The reward is so meager; it just shows how weak Shi Wei and the mysterious person are.

"Li Bai, kill the two of them."

Qin Jun said, looking down on Shi Wei and the other, upon hearing this, Xuandang closed his eyes in silent mourning.

"It’s over..."

Gu Xibai muttered, the other four emperors did not catch his implication, watching the battle tensely.

The explosive news about the Huo Family’s wedding banquet had not reached here; firstly, because there was insufficient time, and secondly, because this universe was too chaotic with constant warfare, making it difficult for external information to be timely conveyed.

Gu Xibai had only just mentioned the identity of the Heavenly Emperor, originally thinking it was enough to deter them, but regretfully it was not.

Especially after Shi Wei saw through Qin Jun’s cultivation level, even more convinced that the Heavenly Emperor was nothing but a joke.

"Ignorance is your death sin."

Li Bai, from his superior position, looked down at Shi Wei and the mysterious person as if looking at dead men.

"You think too highly of yourself,"

the mysterious person retorted with a cold huff, clearly annoyed by Li Bai’s gaze since that was how they usually looked at others.

With a boom.

In an instant, Li Bai landed behind the mysterious person, in front of Shi Wei. The ground shattered under the pressure, countless stones flew about, and the Song of the Green Lotus materialized along his fingertips.

Time was nearly frozen still, as Li Bai raised his hand, Qinglian’s song piercing rapidly through the body of the mysterious assailant, the purple mist scattering, with Shi Wei’s eyes slowly widening.

No sooner said than done, faster than one could speak, Li Bai flashed behind the mysterious person and ran him through with his sword in an instant.

The mysterious person suddenly dissipated, like smoke without a solid form.

Instinctively retreating, Shi Wei recognized with just one move from Li Bai that he was no match for him. If he were any closer, Li Bai could kill him in the blink of an eye.

"Eh? This fellow’s divine power seems somewhat familiar."

Guo Jia voiced his surprise suspiciously, as Guan Zhong also furrowed his brow, deep in thought.

When the mysterious person reappeared, he was above Li Bai’s head, turning around to deliver a chop with his hand towards Li Bai, his arm instantly wrapped in purple flames of boundless power. Regrettably for him, Li Bai’s speed was faster, easily dodging his attack.

"Hmph!"

Li Bai’s eyes were cold and harsh, his sword slashed down at an incredible speed, splitting the mysterious person in two, with blood splashing everywhere. This time, the mysterious person had no chance to use his divine power to escape.

However, Li Bai’s offensive was not over; countless strands of sword energy burst forth from his body, shredding the mysterious person’s halved body into mince, and with it, the entire Great Emperor palace was demolished.

Shi Wei, Gu Xibai, and the rest from the Six Emperors drew back but were still injured by the sword energy, all of them missing arms or legs, covered in blood.

Rolling dust spread out from the center of the Great Emperor palace to all directions like a vast fog, blanketing the sky and blocking out the sun.

"Hiss—What’s that?"

"Such terrifying sword energy, could it be the Fallen Sword Emperor attacking?"

"Impossible, the Fallen Sword Emperor is in battle, how could he have time to attack us?"

"Someone dares to cause trouble within the Six Emperors City!"

"Too strong, if I approach, I will surely be reduced to dust and bones."

Monks floating in the air above Six Emperors City discussed in horror, those nearer to Qin Jun and others saw their figures, but dared not approach.

The oppressive might emanating from Li Bai was enough to make them feel trepidation.

Whoosh—

A Primordial Spirit flew out from the billowing dust, that of the mysterious person invited by Shi Wei. Now his true appearance was exposed: an old man, withered and skeletal, short in stature, with dry hair all over his head, purple skin, and abnormally large eyes, eerily unsettling.

"Is that the Nether Bug Clan?"

Guo Jia frowned and said, suddenly realizing, "No wonder his divine powers seemed familiar."

"What is the Nether Bug Clan?"

Sun Wukong asked curiously, and not just him, the other God and Demon had never heard of this race either.

Guan Zhong answered: "They are a formidable race from the depths of the ancient Saint Emperor’s path, once sweeping through and blood-washing dozens of dao realms. However, they were repelled by an unparalleled Saint Emperor and since then, the Nether Bug Clan became the public enemy of the ancient Saint Emperor’s path. For a hundred billion years, the Nether Bug Clan has rarely been seen in the ancient Saint Emperor’s path."

Blood-washed dozens of dao realms?

Everyone listening felt a chill run down their spine; what kind of power was that?

Qin Jun asked curiously, "The unparalleled Saint Emperor? Who is that?"

"No one knows his name, everyone calls him the Saint Emperor, shrouded in mystery, who after repelling the Nether Bug Clan, went to the depths of the ancient Saint Emperor’s path and never returned," Guan Zhong shook his head and said.

At the same time, the Nether Bug Clan powerhouse turned his head to Li Bai and said coldly, "You just wait, you’ve destroyed my flesh, this hatred is irreconcilable!"

"Trying to escape?"

Li Bai sarcastically laughed, immediately transforming into Qinglian’s long song, tearing through the rolling dust, streaking across the sky. Before anyone could react, except Zhao Yun, he pierced the Nether Bug Clan’s Primordial Spirit with one thrust, the sword energy shredding it into countless specks of light.

The soul was utterly annihilated!
