The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 241 Yan Jingxi

Chapter 241: Chapter 241 Yan Jingxi

Whoosh whoosh—

The strong wind caused the black robes of this group of cultivators to flap loudly, making the red scorpion patterns on the back of their robes seem even more ferocious.

Red Scorpion Black Robes!

Abyss Sect disciples!

"Wujing, how strong are those people up there?" Qin Jun asked, squinting his eyes. None of the other cultivators around the lake had noticed the presence of the Abyss Sect disciples yet. They were still focused on the Divine Beast egg and the deep red monster, unaware that an even greater danger had already arrived.

"The strongest among them has reached the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm."

Sha Wujing said gravely, causing Qin Jun’s eyes to widen in shock as he inwardly cursed.

Is the Earth Immortal Realm as common as cabbage in the Abyss Sect?

Qin Jun felt a sense of madness. The last time he had encountered Lin Suchou, he was also a strong Earth Immortal Realm cultivator. Considering the immeasurable distance between the Abyss Sect and the Black Dragon Kingdom, it was incredibly ostentatious for the Abyss Sect to send Earth Immortal Realm cultivators for just any mission!

This increased the pressure the Abyss Sect was putting on Qin Jun.

It seems that offending the Abyss Sect to death in today’s battle for the Divine Beast is inevitable.

However, there’s no choice; for one’s own benefit, the fight must still be fought!

"The Abyss Sect, one of the nine illustrious sects of the Demonic Dao, has been appearing frequently around the Nanzhuo Dynasty of late. I fear..." Roaring Sky Dog said in a grave tone.

Qin Jun’s brow furrowed even more. Suddenly, he remembered a legend he had heard.

The Great Righteous-Demonic War!

Could it be that the Abyss Sect wanted to trigger the Great Righteous-Demonic War that had swept across the entire Southern Domain thousands of years ago?

Qin Jun’s way of thinking was different from the cultivators of this world—extremely speculative and not overlooking any possibility.

While he was pondering, the straw-cloaked figure and the dozens of Golden Elixir Realm and Ascending Mortal Realm cultivators had already been fighting the deep red monster so fiercely that it was covered in blood, with horrifying injuries across its body, making it even more enraged.

Its huge body kept shaking, agitating the entire lake of the Divine Beast.

Heavenly thunder kept striking down, with bright flashes intermittently illuminating the world. Meanwhile, the attacks from the straw-cloaked figure and the multitude of cultivators kept falling upon the deep red monster. All kinds of spells were being showcased, and the amalgam of booming sounds, thunder, and roars was truly terrifying.

Rumble rumble—

The straw-cloaked figure waved the black ruler in his hand, and a series of black blade edges made of spiritual power flew out, falling like a pear-blossom rain upon the deep red monster, adding to its ferocious wounds.

If this continued, within the time it took an incense stick to burn, the deep red monster would surely be defeated!

Just then, an enormous red hand burst through the rolling thunderclouds and descended, grabbing the deep red monster from the Divine Beast lake. In front of the cultivators, the huge monster was held in the red giant hand as if it were a tiny chick, scaring the cultivators almost to the point of bursting their livers, and they quickly retreated.

"My heavens... what is that..."

"This hand..."

"Could it be the hand of a god?"

"Look at the sky, there’s a group of people over there!"

"My goodness, that almost scared me to death!"

The cultivators were all abuzz with discussion, and disbelief and shock were written all over the straw-cloaked figure’s face as he exclaimed, "The Abyss Sect! How is that possible!"

Qin Jun, who had been keeping an eye on the straw-cloaked figure by the lake, became even more perplexed upon hearing his words.

Could it be that the straw-cloaked figure was not an Abyss Sect disciple?

Where did he come from then?

Qin Jun, with a headache, realized that the waters were getting deeper. Could it be that apart from the Abyss Sect, other demonic paths had infiltrated the Righteous Dao without anyone noticing?

He suddenly recalled a young man from the Demonic Dao he had encountered by chance in Qingtan City. Although they did not interact then, both Daji and Roaring Sky Dog had said he was from the Demonic Dao. Could it be that the Demonic Dao had already seeped into the Righteous Dao without their knowledge?

The thought made cold sweat drench Qin Jun.

Meanwhile, the deep red demonic beast had already left the Lake of Divine Beasts, shouting madly, "Abyss Sect again! If you have the guts, kill me! Otherwise, the Demon Lord will not let you off!"

The roar shook heaven and earth, causing those with weaker cultivation to feel a stabbing pain in their eardrums.

No matter how it howled, the giant red hand did not loosen its grip, preventing it from breaking free.

Soon, the deep red demonic beast was taken above the clouds, disappearing from the vision of the cultivators.

The man in the straw raincoat stood rooted to the spot, his body trembling slightly, clearly terrified and not daring to move. A group of Abyss Sect demons looked down on him from high above, making him too scared to look up.

"This Divine Beast is ours now!"

The leading white-haired man spoke indifferently. His voice was soft but clearly carried to everyone’s ears.

He seemed like a god looking down upon the world, and indeed, his cultivation at the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm was akin to that of a deity!

The terrifying pressure crushed the Lake of Divine Beasts, changing the expression on the faces of the cultivators in the sky. They quickly flew towards the shore, and upon landing, they knelt down, unable to stand again. Looking around at the other cultivators, those below the Golden Elixir Realm simply collapsed to the ground, unable to get up no matter how they struggled.

Qin Jun also felt uncomfortable, but fortunately, Daji and Li each pressed a hand on his shoulders, together mitigating the terrifying pressure from above.

Not far away, Jiang Ming knelt on the ground. He clenched his teeth, trying his best not to appear too disheveled.

"Damn, the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm is so powerful!"

Qin Jun cursed through gritted teeth. Usually, Evening Star and Sha Wujing would conceal their aura, even during battle, therefore, he did not have a great fear of the Earth Immortal Realm. However, he did not expect the pressure emitted by the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm to be so terrifying.

There’s only one step between the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm and the Immortal Realm!

How strong would Sha Wujing be at the ninth level of the Immortal Realm if he released his pressure?

And what about Red Boy at the eighth level of the True Immortal Realm...

As Qin Jun lost himself in these thoughts, the Divine Beast egg, already covered with cracks, emitted another roar, dragon-like yet indistinct. The roar grew louder, and around the egg, the space inexplicably displayed lotus flower phenomena, accompanied by colorful auroras, exquisitely beautiful.

The lotus phenomena kept expanding, and under the shocked expressions of the cultivators, the whole Lake of Divine Beasts seemed to be covered in lotus flowers, looking like a lotus lake. However, the occasional waves that churned through the lotuses reminded everyone that this was just an illusion, and did not truly exist.

"What in the world is this?"

Qin Jun asked in astonishment, somewhat unable to comprehend. Born with special effects?

At this moment, the white-haired man and a group of Abyss Sect demons flew down. Qin Jun counted carefully, a total of thirty-two individuals, none weaker than himself, which struck him hard.

"Abyss Sect, the Seventeenth Protector, Yan Jingxi?"

The man in the straw raincoat stared at the white-haired man and asked through clenched teeth.

He, at the fifth level of the Transforming Void Realm, stood no chance against Yan Jingxi at the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm. The difference between them was like that of clouds and mud.

"Xu Yue, this Divine Beast was born due to the qi movement of heaven and earth, not something your Black Flame Sect can covet," Yan Jingxi said with a sneer, the wind blowing through his white hair making his stern face appear somewhat ferocious.

Black Flame Sect!

Qin Jun’s heart jolted, wondering which Demonic Dao power this was.

Little did he know that the Black Flame Sect was quite familiar to him. The sect leader, Ancient Lamp, had once come to help Beigong Ancestor by killing enemies. Even Sha Wujing was no match for him. Unfortunately, he was still blown up by Red Boy and even had his physical body destroyed.
