Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Ji Yongsheng of the Southern Domain Sacred Court

"This demonic aura is too astonishing!"

Lei Zhenzi gritted his teeth and shouted, even he, who was at the fourth layer of the Golden Immortal realm, couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle with the deathly sense of danger, making him wish to turn and flee, but his loyalty and principles prevented him from taking a step.

The others were also frightened and dismayed, even the fearless Li Cunxiao felt somewhat unsure in his heart at this moment.

"Legends say that long ago, for a period of time, the entire Southern Domain belonged to the Demonic Dao... Could it be true..." Liu Bowen said with a trembling voice. He had previously thought these rumors were false, but now it seemed they were true, as only a period of prosperity for the Demonic Dao could give birth to such a demon lord.

Even mighty experts like Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi, the current top masters of the Southern Domain, were chilled to the bone, it was hard to imagine how horrifying this demon lord truly was!

At the same time, Qin Jun’s consciousness slowly returned to clarity.

He immediately widened his eyes, only to find that he was no longer in the Valley of Death but standing upon an endless crimson land, everywhere drenched in blood, and the sky was obscured by rolling red clouds, like a raging inferno, casting an image of boundless desolation and bleakness.

"Where is this..."

Qin Jun murmured in a daze, suddenly realizing that he could move.

He hurriedly took to the sky, flying towards the distance, attempting to find Liu Bowen and the others.

About ten miles in, he suddenly saw a giant pillar connecting heaven and earth, its surface a purple-red hue, and upon closer inspection, it even grew hair like a large tree’s, with each strand as thick as he was. He instinctively looked down and nearly had his scalp explode, his figure hastily retreating.

At the base of the giant pillar was actually a foot, resembling a mountain range, spanning hundreds of meters.

This was actually a leg!

Qin Jun looked up in terror, finding the giant’s knee disappearing into the clouds, making it difficult to imagine the true size of its body.

Was it a thousand feet tall or ten thousand feet tall?

"The Southern Domain’s holy sanctuary shall never perish! I, Ji Yongsheng, will defend the last flame of the holy sanctuary with my life!"

A earth-shattering roar exploded through the air, and the rolling red clouds above were dispersed, with even Qin Jun being hurled away.

Rolling across the ground’s surface for thousands of meters, Qin Jun finally regained his footing in a wretched state. He looked up and his eyes immediately widened as if he had just seen a ghost.

In front of him stood a terrifying giant reaching up to the heavens, his clothes in tatters, barely covering his modesty, and the earlier pillar was one of his calves, his head of black hair like withered grass draped onto his shoulders, his body’s muscles like sculpted dragons, appearing from Qin Jun’s perspective as a series of winding mountains.

Majestic!

Qin Jun collapsed to the ground, his mouth wide open, large enough to fit an egg, the look of shock on his face not fading for a long time.

A giant thousands of feet in height stood before him, the visual impact enough to overturn his worldview. To think, a thousand feet according to modern measurements would be over thirty thousand meters, several times taller than Mount Everest!

Qin Jun couldn’t even see the giant’s face, only the outlined muscles nearly bursting from strain. In the presence of such a giant, Qin Jun couldn’t muster the slightest will to resist, no wonder a single roar from the other party could send him flying thousands of meters away.

"The Southern Domain’s holy sanctuary... Ji Yongsheng..."

Qin Jun muttered to himself, and then he noticed that after the red clouds had dispersed, high above the giant’s head, there were figures hovering, some humanoid, some monstrous, all enormously large, making Qin Jun feel as if he were a miniature toy in a small box, surrounded by a group of people watching him, a sensation that was a shock not only to his eyes but also to his soul unlike anything a normal person could imagine.

In front of such strong beings, even individuals like Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi would be no more than ants...

Just as Qin Jun was stunned to numbness, the world before him shattered like glass, causing him to shudder all over. And in the blink of an eye, he found himself back in the Blazing Abyssal Waters, surrounded by lava that was furiously transforming his body.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring the Infernal Demonic God’s bloodline!"

The system notification suddenly sounded in Qin Jun’s mind. Just as the words fell, he felt an unprecedented surge of power emerging from within him, giving him an urge to howl, but sadly he had yet to regain control over his body.

What the hell is the Extreme Flame Demon God?

Qin Jun was filled with doubts, thinking the name sounded overly dramatic, but he was more concerned about his own fate.

Could it be that the towering giant who called himself Ji Yongsheng was the demon of Death Valley?

Or could it be that Ji Yongsheng himself was the Extreme Flame Demon God?

Boom!

The extreme flame dark water crazily infiltrated his pores, the agony a thousand times more intense than before, overwhelming him like a tidal wave.

"Aaaaahhhhh!!!!!"

Qin Jun’s screams echoed throughout the heaven and earth, startling Liu Bowen and the others.

"This is bad! His Majesty is in trouble!" Lei Zhenzi gritted his teeth.

"Maybe we should pull His Highness’s soul into the netherworld first. Even if his body is destroyed, he still has a chance to be reborn!" Black Impermanence, looking hesitant, turned to White Impermanence for consultation.

The netherworld?

Liu Bowen and the others looked at the two with shock and confusion.

White Impermanence shook his head with a bitter smile, "Our Soul-Stealing Scythe and Soul-chaining Chain can’t even touch His Majesty. The energy contained in this extreme flame dark water might backlash against us!"

With these words, Black Impermanence fell silent.

Was there really no way out?

Everyone felt as if their hearts were being carved with knives. Their lord was trapped, and as they watched him suffer, they felt useless, leading to feelings of guilt, self-blame, and a painful sympathy.

Boom——

The extreme flame dark water, now reduced to a mere three meters in diameter, suddenly accelerated, entering Qin Jun’s body in the blink of an eye, revealing his figure.

He stood naked, his untamed hair covering his face, and his muscular, well-defined body shimmered metallically under the sunshine. The purple-red color quickly faded, his skin turning as white as jadelike fat. He slowly descended to the ground, hands dangling, his body rising and falling with his breathing.

"Your Majesty..." Liu Bowen asked cautiously, the overwhelming demonic aura still not dissipating from Qin Jun, increasing their tension.

If Qin Jun’s body had been taken over by a demon, how would they explain it to the Great Qin kingdom?

Qin Jun slowly lifted his head, as everyone’s gaze fixated on him, even the Bone Eroding Tribulation couldn’t help but swallow nervously.

Soon, Qin Jun’s face came into their view, causing them to gasp in shock. His handsome features were unchanged, but his pupils were red and purple, and a mysterious, flame-like rune marked his forehead.

The most eerie thing was Qin Jun’s smile, so cold and full of murderous intent.

"Could it be..."

Liu Bowen trembled with the thought, his face filled with despair, while the others tensed up, watching Qin Jun as if facing a formidable enemy.

They saw Qin Jun twist his neck with a sinister laugh, "This feeling... is so wonderful..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly threw his head back, his muscles swelling explosively, he roared furiously, his voice piercingly loud, startling everyone into retreating.
