Chapter 257: Chapter 257 Diamond Lei Zhenzi

"System! Keep summoning for me!"

Qin Jun gritted his teeth in thought, gazing up at Elder An in the sky with hatred seething into his bones.

It’s no wonder the Demonic Dao is so hated; there’s a reason after all!

Li Yuanba and Red Boy were both gravely injured and unconscious, and though Evening Star and Sha Wujing were Immortal Realm powerhouses, they were clearly insufficient at this moment.

As for Li Bai and Xu Guiku, they could practically be ignored.

"Host, I can forcibly summon a deity of a higher realm than True Immortal for you, but there will be a certain price to pay," the system suddenly said, not immediately commencing the summoning.

"What price?" Qin Jun hurriedly asked.

He didn’t agree immediately, as some prices might be more painful than death itself.

"A mandatory mission, requiring you to collect something," the system mysteriously stated.

At this moment, Elder An began to raise his hand, his eyes under the Hungry Ghost mask revealing a chilling look filled with mockery and murderous intent.

"Then summon! It’s just collecting things!"

Qin Jun glanced at the two beautiful women beside him and thought that he couldn’t watch Daji and Li die before him.

At this time, Evening Star and the others also came to Qin Jun’s side. Their faces were resolute, showing no intention of fleeing.

"Your Highness, we offended the Abyss Sect for aiding Bronze Pass that day. Today, if he wants to kill you, he’ll have to step over my corpse!" Xu Guiku said solemnly, understanding that his Earth Immortal cultivation was mere cannon fodder in this battle, but still unafraid.

"Ding! Commencing random summoning of a God and Demon..."

Following the system notification, Qin Jun said to Xu Guiku, "Don’t worry, I won’t let you die."

Turning to look at the others—Li Bai, Evening Star, Wujing, Daji, Li, and the unconscious Red Boy and Li Yuanba—he gritted his teeth and said, "You’ve accompanied me through thousands of miles and helped me kill countless enemies. How could I let you fall here?"

Evening Star and the others were touched, exchanging puzzled glances, wondering if Qin Jun had lost his sanity.

In such a situation, did they still have a chance to live?

In the sky, Elder An, who was preparing to strike, also stopped, and with a mocking laugh said, "Qin Jun, do you think you still have a chance?"

The Bone Eroding Tribulation and the mob of demons from the Abyss Sect all laughed, mocking Qin Jun’s overestimation of his own strength. Even now, did he truly believe there was a chance for survival?

Everyone in the imperial capital despaired, except for Qin Jun, who still clung to a fantasy—perhaps this was why he was known for his brazenness.

"Your Sage Infant King is almost dead, who else can you rely on?" Elder An jeered coldly, wanting to see what kind of reinforcements Qin Jun could possibly muster.

He was very confident in his strength, standing at the pinnacle of the Southern Domain, able to snatch countless lives with a mere wave of his hand.

He didn’t believe there was a powerhouse who could match him willing to help this little insect.

"Hmph, if Red Boy’s father were here, you wouldn’t even be able to cry," Qin Jun said contemptuously to the skies, his voice soft but certain Elder An could hear it.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for drawing Lei Zhenzi from the Investiture of the Gods..."

Just then, the system notification suddenly rang out, surprising Qin Jun with joy. He quickly called out in his mind, "Bring up Lei Zhenzi’s attribute list!"

Dammit!

Don’t you know villains die from talking too much?

You give me time, I can turn the tables—this is not delusion!

Qin Jun was exhilarated, and Lei Zhenzi’s attribute list instantly appeared before his eyes:

"Lei Zhenzi, from ’Investiture of the Gods’."

"Race: Human Clan!"

"Cultivation: Fourth layer of the Golden Immortal Realm!"

"Cultivation method: Profound Mystery Mnemonic!"

"Treasure: Golden Staff!"

"Divine Power: Wind and Thunder Wings! Nine Heavens Profound Lightning! Diamond Body!"

"Loyalty: 92 (full value 100)!"

Fourth layer of the Golden Immortal Realm!

Clearly above the True Immortal Realm!

This is awesome!

Qin Jun’s excitement was palpable, his mouth curving into a smile. Lei Zhenzi’s fame was immense, and in the Investiture of the Gods, alongside Nezha and Yang Jian, he was considered one of the top three divine generals under King Wu, though not quite at the level of Nezha and Yang Jian.

While it was unclear if Lei Zhenzi could defeat Elder An, at the very least, he should be able to hold him at bay. Qin Jun couldn’t believe that Elder An was beyond the Golden Immortal Realm.

If that were the case, Red Boy and Li Yuanba would already be dead!

"When will Lei Zhenzi arrive?" Qin Jun suppressed his excitement and asked in his mind.

At that moment, Elder An retracted the massive copper bangle and moved closer to Qin Jun and the others, appearing like a phantom and drawing ever nearer.

"Soon," the system replied concisely, but it was enough to give Qin Jun a surge of elation.

Qin Jun pushed the others back, moved to the front with difficulty, and waved to stop those like Evening Star who wanted to protect him. He then smiled at the steadily approaching Elder An and said, "As an elder of the Abyss Sect, are you very confident in yourself? Thinking you are invincible under the heavens?"

Elder An landed in front of him, only five meters away, and scoffed, "I dare not claim to be invincible under the heavens, but at least there are few rivals in the entire Southern Domain. Do you know how vast the Southern Domain is? You’ve never even stepped out of the territory of the Nanzhuo Dynasty. You’re a frog in a well, nothing more, which is why you are so brazen."

"You think by suppressing the Nanzhuo Dynasty and no one daring to challenge you, you can look down upon the world?"

A distance of five meters was enough for Elder An to kill Qin Jun.

The reason he hadn’t done so was to completely crush Qin Jun’s will first, turning him into a walking corpse before capturing him.

The reason being that this youngster had actually signed a soul contract with the Torch Dragon, and it was a life and death contract; if he died, the Torch Dragon wouldn’t survive either.

This fact infuriated Elder An, but he kept it to himself to prevent Qin Jun from using it as leverage.

Qin Jun still thought Elder An was arrogant, unaware that he was saved by the Torch Dragon’s naïve actions.

"My view of the world is much larger than yours. Do you know what lies beyond the heavens?" Qin Jun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, asking mockingly, causing Daji and the others behind him to tense.

They didn’t understand how, at this point, Qin Jun could still be so confident. Could it be that he had an even stronger trump card than Red Boy?

Impossible!

They had always followed Qin Jun and were unaware of any stronger individuals having been subdued by him.

Beyond the heavens?

Elder An’s pupils constricted, and he immediately reached out to grab Qin Jun. In the blink of an eye, a shocking thunderclap rang out.

"Boom—"

A terrifying celestial thunder descended with great force, faster than the lightning from crossing tribulation, catching even Elder An off guard. The celestial thunder struck between him and Qin Jun, their figures illuminated by the intense light. Fear gleamed in Elder An’s eyes, while Qin Jun’s face was filled with ferocity.

"Now our roles are about to switch, and I will let you know what cruelty is!"

Qin Jun sneered, his black hair obstructing his face, giving him an icy, metallic appearance.

As his words sent chills down Elder An’s spine, a massive presence, like an impending cataclysm, descended from the heavens. An angry shout echoing like that of a furious deity resounded:

"Lei Zhenzi has arrived! Who dares to harm my lord!"
