The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 238: Demon Aura

Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Demon Aura

Magic weapon?

Qin Jun, who had reached the fourth layer of the Ascending Mortal Realm, easily caught Jiang Ming’s whisper. He shook his head with a smile, thinking to himself that Jiang truly was a frog in a well.

"Your Highness, you are becoming more and more adept at using your dragon’s qi," Sha Wujing said to Qin Jun with a smile brimming with satisfaction. Although Qin Jun was currently relying on his subordinates, Sha Wujing could see that his own progress was astonishingly fast, a true monstrous genius.

"It’s just mediocre. I’m far from being a Four-clawed Golden Dragon," Qin Jun said with a wave of his hand and then sat down beside Li.

His dragon’s qi could only condense into a Three-clawed Golden Dragon, which was quite embarrassing. However, fortunately, the tension of battle left little room for others to notice this.

The dragon’s qi was not his own spiritual energy. Having dragon’s qi was akin to having an additional source of strength. It had to be said that there were indeed advantages to being an emperor.

Of course, the emperors of kingdoms could not condense dragon’s qi; it qualified only for the sovereigns of the Imperial Dynasties.

This was also an important reason why dragon’s qi was not widely known among most people.

Due to the disturbance caused by the cultivators from Lie Tan, Jiang Ming and his group became much more subdued. Even Jiang Ming didn’t dare to sneak glances at Daji and the other lady anymore, clearly intimidated by Qin Jun’s strength.

The recent skirmish had also been witnessed by the cultivators on the nearby shore.

"Who is that man? And what was with the Golden Dragon just now?"

"I couldn’t see clearly, we were too far away!"

"Were those from Lie Tan the ones who died? Tsk, tsk, I never thought that these bullies would meet such an end!"

"Lie Tan is nothing but a second-rate force. They were asking for trouble, acting so arrogantly by the Divine Beast Lake. They had it coming!"

"Tsk, tsk, it looks like the number of powerful beings around Divine Beast Lake is increasing. Once the Divine Beast emerges, it will definitely cause a bloodbath!"

Hundreds of cultivators buzzed with conversation. Qin Jun and his party therefore caught the eyes of various powers, but no one dared to approach them. For a time, no one recognized their identities.

Even if they felt Qin Jun and his companions looked familiar, they would not associate them with their true identities.

After all, how could Overlord Qin Jun, who should currently be in Canglan Kingdom or Qianyue Kingdom’s battlefield, possibly have come here to compete for the Divine Beast?

...

The next day, Divine Beast Lake was abuzz with excitement.

It wasn’t that there was any movement from the Divine Beast egg, but rather that General Mo Qilin, a representative of the court, arrived with his soldiers.

Mo Qilin’s status in the Black Dragon Kingdom was not low. He could even be considered one of the individuals at the top of the pyramid, especially after Bao Zhendan had died in battle, which positioned him as second only to none.

"The court has matters to attend to, everyone must leave immediately!" Mo Qilin declared sternly as he hovered above the lake, his voice booming and creating ripples on the water’s surface.

Sitting by the lake, cultivating, Qin Jun couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. Was this guy brainless?

Sure enough, as soon as the words were out, someone retorted, "On what grounds? The court doesn’t have the authority to manage the cultivation sects!"

This was the state of the kingdoms, where the court and the cultivation world did not interfere with each other. Perhaps the court of a kingdom could control many cultivation forces, but it could not completely domineer them, just like the three major sects in the Qianyue Kingdom that stood on equal footing with the royal family.

In the Imperial Dynasty, however, it was different; the royal family was the greatest authority there, with the sovereign being the ultimate ruler.

"Humph! Because I am the strongest!" Mo Qilin retorted, pulling out a long spear and unleashing the aura of the first layer of the Transforming Void Realm. The overwhelming presence caused all the cultivators to catch their breath, and the entire Divine Beast Lake fell silent.

With Bao Zhendan dead, Mo Qilin was the strongest in the Black Dragon Kingdom.

The cultivators from various forces ground their teeth in frustration, but this time, no one else dared to come forward, lest they be blasted to smithereens by Mo Qilin.

But no one left, either. After waiting for so many days, who would willingly depart without protests?

"You’re the strongest?"

Just then, a cold laugh echoed through the air, and everyone turned towards the source of the sound. They saw a figure in a straw raincoat flying out from the woods, gliding like a wild goose, stepping on the void with an extraordinary grace.

"Tsk, tsk, it’s quite unpleasant to have your face slapped in public."

Qin Jun lamented, noting that the person in the straw raincoat possessed the fifth level of cultivation within the Transforming Void Realm—a compelling strength indeed!

Moreover, with Sha Wujing and others yet to make a move, Mo Qilin really had no chance to show off. He underestimated the Divine Beast Lake.

"This guy is so arrogant, I want to stab him to death."

Red Boy said while playing with Samadhi Real Fire in his hands. Qin Jun shook his head and smiled, "Don’t rush, we all shouldn’t make a move before the divine beasts hatch. Of course, if someone can defeat the guardian beasts, we’ll take action too."

Just the thought of obtaining a divine beast set his heart ablaze.

It had better be more impressive than the Vermilion Bird!

"Who are you?"

Mo Qilin asked, pointing his spear at the person in the straw raincoat. He sensed a thread of dangerous aura emanating from the individual, a formidable person who surely wasn’t from the Black Dragon Kingdom—if they were, he would certainly recognize them.

"Someone you can’t afford to offend," the person in the straw raincoat replied with a cold sneer, flipping his hand and drawing out a black ruler. The atmosphere between the two instantly thickened with tension.

Mo Qilin narrowed his eyes and, in a flash, charged towards the person in the straw raincoat.

Clang——

The iron spear clashed with the black ruler, sending a violent shockwave in all directions. A wild wind arose, and the lake’s surface split into waves around the vertical axis where the two had collided. The immense pressure caused many cultivators on the lakeshore to tremble with fear.

With a cold grunt, the person in the straw raincoat flicked his hand, and Mo Qilin was sent flying dozens of meters before he managed to stabilize his stance.

This scene had the soldiers of the Imperial Dynasty on the lakeshore staring wide-eyed. Mo Qilin had lost in terms of strength?

Before they could even respond, Mo Qilin and the person in the straw raincoat were once again entangled in a fierce struggle. With an unspoken agreement not to disturb the divine beast eggs in the lake, they both soared towards the sky, moving away from the lake.

"This guy has a whiff of the Demonic Dao about him!"

Sha Wujing frowned as he stared into the sky, to which Qin Jun responded with surprise and uncertainty, "Who?"

"The guy in the straw raincoat! His aura is very similar to that of the Abyss Sect expert who was killed by Red Boy. I hadn’t noticed it before, but just now, he accidentally let slip a trace of demonic qi!" Sha Wujing said solemnly.

The Abyss Sect!

Everyone fell silent. The Abyss Sect, one of the nine great powers of the Demonic Dao, was a colossal entity far surpassing the Nanzhuo Dynasty, a mere thought of which sent chills down their spines.

"Could it be that this fellow is from the Abyss Sect?" Daji asked with a frown.

"It’s possible," Qin Jun replied with a dark expression as he once again turned his attention to the figure in the straw raincoat battling fiercely with Mo Qilin high in the sky.

News of his obstruction of the Abyss Sect had spread far and wide. He didn’t believe for a second that the Abyss Sect wasn’t informed; they might already be plotting against him.

"What of the Abyss Sect, as long as I am here, Your Highness need not worry!"

Red Boy jested, patting his chest. Unfortunately, Qin Jun found it hard to smile. Although rank eight in the True Immortal Realm might stand at the pinnacle of the Southern Domain, he always felt as though the Abyss Sect also had True Immortal Realm experts—possibly even quite a few.

He did not want to ignore such a looming sense of crisis; after all, it concerned his very life.

"General Mo is truly strong!"

Chun said with a face full of admiration as he watched the sky from a distance. As a cultivator, who wouldn’t admire the strong?

"Indeed impressive, but compared to the Sage Infant King under my big brother’s command, he is not worth mentioning. The Sage Infant King could crush him with a single finger!" Jiang Ming chuckled lightly as if he was the Sage Infant King himself, sparking intense curiosity in Chun and the others.
