Chapter 1621: Chapter 1621: The Birth of Ling Emperor [4th Update]

"Let me show you what it means to create split bodies!"

Qin Jun smiled proudly. With a sweeping motion of his left hand, a thousand split bodies surged forward, overwhelming Extreme Emperor and his four split bodies from all directions.

Each of Qin Jun’s split bodies possessed the same strength as his true self. If one Qin Jun was already enough to leave Extreme Emperor helpless, what could he do against a thousand?

The scales of victory instantly tipped in Qin Jun’s favor. The five Extreme Emperors were savagely battered without any means of retaliation. In their vision, there was no dazzling starry void, only the endless figures of Qin Jun swarming around them.

Every part of their bodies endured ferocious attacks, and they spat blood continuously. At this rate, defeat for Extreme Emperor was inevitable.

Qin Jun wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and smirked with conceited confidence. This was merely one-thousandth of his true power.

Because he could summon a million split bodies!

Watching Extreme Emperor suffer, Qin Jun laughed arrogantly and shook his head. "This is why you should never push me to go all out—you cannot bear the consequences."

The Path of Split Bodies was fearsomely overbearing!

"Ah——!"

Suddenly, a piercing, desperate scream erupted from the center of the thousand split bodies, shattering the distant space traveler’s camera lenses and disintegrating the signal panels on both sides. The spacecraft began to spark with electricity, rendered inoperable.

In vacuum, sound should not travel, but for an entity like Extreme Emperor, who transcended creation and void, the voice of a god could propagate even without air—especially his.

Qin Jun paid no attention to the space traveler; he hadn’t even realized he’d arrived in the Milky Way galaxy.

This was a spacetime that haunted his dreams!

The thousand split bodies were abruptly forced apart as one of Extreme Emperor’s split bodies—its face etched with sorrow—threw back its head and howled. Its mouth opened wide, unleashing countless blades of Chaos energy in a wild, frenzied barrage that forced Qin Jun’s split bodies to retreat.

To prevent the universe from suffering damage, Qin Jun’s split bodies joined forces to conjure a barrier of magical light, blocking all the Chaos blades. Even so, the surrounding starry space was left riddled with countless black spatial tears.

"Hmm?"

Qin Jun locked his gaze on the sorrowful split body. It seemed that each of Extreme Emperor’s split bodies had unique differences.

"What kind of Divine Power is this?"

Qin Jun questioned Extreme Emperor. Despite the intensity of their battle, it had not escalated to a mortal duel.

Hearing this, the true body of Extreme Emperor responded, "This is the Five Aspect Divine Extreme Art, a power of my own creation."

The Five Aspect Divine Extreme Art!

Qin Jun couldn’t help but marvel at Extreme Emperor’s genius. From the Cycle Heavenly Palm to the Heaven-Birthing Wheel of the Great Dao, all were astonishing Divine Powers. Now he had invented the Five Aspect Divine Extreme Art—truly a peerless talent unmatched in the ages.

"These split bodies represent my different emotions, each wielding distinct Divine Powers. They can fight independently, harness the emotions of my enemies, amplify those emotions, and, in turn, strengthen me." Extreme Emperor revealed everything without reservation, briefly explaining the essence of the Five Aspect Divine Extreme Art.

Though his explanation was succinct, it revealed the core concept thoroughly—a sign of his esteem for Qin Jun.

Qin Jun suddenly understood. No wonder he had found his anger uncontrollable during the battle. His eyes turned toward the split body radiating fury. Its aura was indeed formidable, far exceeding that of the others.

"Your split bodies?" Extreme Emperor asked curiously, equally astonished by Qin Jun.

A thousand split bodies with the same strength as the original?

Even Extreme Emperor felt a chill down his spine at the thought. If he had not concentrated all his power on the sorrowful split body, he would have been utterly powerless to break free.

"This is the result of a unique Path. And I can create far more than just a thousand split bodies."

Qin Jun explained with a smile. "Paths number in the thousands. Beyond the original Three Thousand Great Paths, countless others exist. Even you, Extreme Emperor, cannot claim to know them all."

Extreme Emperor was envious. This Path was undoubtedly on par with the Path of Time and the Path of Space. His own Path of Slaughter paled in comparison.

"Do you wish to continue?"

Qin Jun raised an eyebrow and asked. The recent eruption from the sorrowful split body had drained Extreme Emperor considerably. If they kept fighting, the outcome would not change.

Extreme Emperor had lost!

Hearing this, Extreme Emperor shook his head. "There’s no need. Let us battle again another time."

He showed no regret, instead brimming with excitement.

At last, he had found a new goal!

The next time they fought, he would surely defeat Qin Jun.

"We don’t even know what spacetime we’ve arrived in."

Qin Jun chuckled, shaking his head. "Reincarnation is truly enigmatic and unfathomable—eerily similar to the laws of spacetime, though it governs only the temporal flow of the present."

With that, Qin Jun spread his Divine Consciousness, attempting to survey the state of this universe.

The next moment, his expression shifted drastically.

"This place is..."

Qin Jun’s excitement surged immediately, and his eyes gleamed with delight.

"What is it?" Extreme Emperor asked in confusion.

In his eyes, this universe lacked any significant cultivation civilization. Its lifeforms were pitifully weak. He could not understand why Qin Jun was so moved.

"It’s nothing. You should return for now. I intend to stay here for a while."

Qin Jun composed himself and smiled faintly.

Hearing this, Extreme Emperor nodded and absorbed his four split bodies into himself.

Then, he opened a portal to reincarnation, stepped into it, and vanished.

Qin Jun took a deep breath, his figure shimmering as he disappeared from where he stood.

...

The Primordial starry void.

On the boundless continent where Ling Emperor was soon to emerge, hundreds of millions of beings had gathered. Among them were figures riding Dharma boats and wielding flying magical treasures.

Li Yanlong and Xiao Lang stood side-by-side, accompanied by dozens of beings at the level of Creation and Void Transcendence. All of them gazed fanatically at the continent ahead.

Ling Emperor was about to be born!

A faint yet ancient and somber aura emanated from within the continent, stirring excitement among the gathered creatures.

Most of the beings present revered Ling Emperor, yearning to glimpse his majesty. Many also hoped to pledge their allegiance to him.

Rumble, rumble——

The immense continent began trembling violently as the faint aura suddenly intensified, surging into the starry void.

"It’s happening! Ling Emperor is about to appear!"

"At last! The Primordial will undergo a seismic change!"

"With Ling Emperor’s emergence, who across the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Primordial can rival him?"

"Even Qing Emperor is hosting a feast in Ling Emperor’s honor! That shows how powerful Ling Emperor must be!"

"The first-ever Undefeated Emperor of the Primordial is returning!"

The beings gazed feverishly at the continent. Li Yanlong, Xiao Lang, and the dozens of creation-level entities trembled with exhilaration, their breaths quickening in anticipation.

At that moment, the distant starry void was suddenly torn open. Out stepped Qing Emperor, leading his entourage with a commanding presence.

No beings paid notice to Qing Emperor’s arrival, their eyes fixed solely on the boundless continent.

"Hoo——"

A sound suddenly echoed from within the continent, as if a colossal figure had exhaled. Its heartbeat reverberated like the pounding of war drums in the ears of all present beings.

Ling Emperor!

The realization surged in every sentient mind. The immense continent began cracking apart, stirring up clouds of dust as if a monumental entity was about to break free.

With a colossal boom!

The boundless continent erupted, scattering large chunks of rock and forests across the starry void. Beings scrambled to defend against the onslaught of chaos.

Qing Emperor’s eyes sharpened as he muttered, "You’ve finally emerged."

His gaze held a depth of emotion, hinting at a history with Ling Emperor unknown to the rest of existence.

Behind him, his subordinates grew tense. Since their conception, they had grown up hearing tales of Ling Emperor’s legendary exploits. Now, faced with the opportunity to witness him in person, how could they not grow anxious?
