The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 346 Supreme Divine Power

Chapter 346: Chapter 346 Supreme Divine Power

The reason Qin Jun waged war against other kingdoms was to accomplish the main quest of Slay Hundred Emperors. Upon completing the task, his level would rise by four, and he would receive one opportunity for a God and Demon summon, one random draw chance, one skill inheritance chance, and one chance to summon a God and Demon legion.

The rewards were indeed immensely generous.

Of course, slaying a hundred emperors was an overwhelmingly huge undertaking.

It was uncertain if the Righteous Dao even had a hundred kingdoms...

"War begets war. Do you still not understand the situation Great Qin is in now? We must grow stronger, and quickly!" Qin Jun declared somberly. When could true strength be amassed if not by nurturing one’s energy and biding one’s time?

War signifies resources, and resources drive development.

With Li Yuanba and his adopted sons and daughters, the soldiers of the Qianyue Kingdom could be considered mere decorations. Someone in the Transforming Void Realm alone could sweep through an entire kingdom, not to mention the Earth Immortal Realm, and Li Yuanba himself was as strong as the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm. Without the intervention of the five champions of the Righteous Dao, no Imperial Dynasty could stop them!

Qin Jun’s words quieted the entire court.

"Humph, what’s there to fear? With one swing of my hammer, I can cause kingdoms to fall!" Li Yuanba crossed his arms over his chest and snorted, rendering everyone speechless.

The foolish lad was still as crass as ever!

However, Li Yuanba’s words nearly stirred their blood to a boil.

Indeed!

With a powerful figure like Li Yuanba, what was there to fear?

For a moment, the courtiers began to whisper amongst themselves, envisioning a bright future.

"Your Majesty, when will you depart?" Jia Xun asked anxiously. At this critical moment for launching the campaign, his nerves were understandable, coupled with an unstoppable excitement welling up inside him.

Qin Jun rose abruptly, causing everyone to quickly kneel down, as he then slowly smiled and said, "Tomorrow!"

...

After the court assembly concluded, Qin Jun went to the barracks, accompanied by Li Yuanba, Daji, and Li on either side.

At the moment, Guan Yu was training the troops, with thousands of shirtless soldiers practicing with spears in front of him, their voices thundering through the air. Beside Guan Yu stood a young boy, none other than Yan San, the talented youth with the Wind Spirit Root.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Upon spotting Qin Jun and the others, Yan San immediately exclaimed with surprise and delight.

In his heart, the person he admired most was not Guan Yu, but Qin Jun.

If not for Qin Jun’s intervention, he might have already died in the woods outside the royal city, and he had witnessed Qin Jun’s rise from a demoted prince to the Emperor’s throne, even seeing him develop the weak Qianyue Kingdom into the greater-than-Imperial-Dynasty Great Qin Kingdom!

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Guan Yu immediately knelt down, and the thousands of soldiers ceased their spear practice, looking towards Qin Jun with respect and fervor.

Most of the men joined the army for the name of the Qin Emperor.

A rare prodigy without precedent, an Emperor unparalleled in ages past!

This appraisal of Qin Jun on the people’s list had ignited the blood of countless young men.

"Rise to your feet and continue your training. I need to discuss something with General Guan," Qin Jun said with a gentle wave of his hand and a smile, causing Guan Yu to look up in surprise.

Then, following the cues from Qin Jun’s eyes, Guan Yu stood up and followed them, leaving the soldiers exchanging puzzled looks.

The group moved to a secluded corner, where Qin Jun then stared at Guan Yu and asked with a smile, "Do you wish to become stronger?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu’s eyes widened, and he hesitantly asked, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Daji and Li both looked excitedly at Qin Jun, finally about to witness how he had made Li Yuanba powerful.

"I have a task for you. Strive to grow stronger and, while at it, bring back some mighty allies, subordinates, or treasures!" Qin Jun said with a grin, while inwardly he asked, "System, what instances are available for Guan Yu to visit?"

"Guan Yu can go to the worlds of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West," the system answered.

Journey to the West?

Qin Jun’s eyes lit up. Going back several hundred years from the early Tang dynasty to the late Eastern Han period, it would be around the time when Sun Wukong was suppressed at Five Finger Mountain.

Although Romance of the Three Kingdoms had legends of immortals, it was ultimately a world of mortals. Qin Jun would undoubtedly choose the time and space of Journey to the West, teeming with gods and demons, unless he was a fool.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about exactly?" Guan Yu furrowed his brows and asked, his expression suggesting he doubted whether Qin Jun was confused.

Li Yuanba chuckled, "Guan Yu, your fortune has arrived. Treasure it!"

When Li Yuanba learned that only a little over half a month had passed, he was dumbfounded, and his reverence for Qin Jun almost reached its peak.

The more Guan Yu listened, the more confused he became, and just as he was about to ask for clarification, he heard Qin Jun continue, "I will use a supreme Divine Power to transport you to another world. You may spend decades there, but only a dozen days will have passed here. Remember well, strive to grow stronger, and do not die. You carry my hopes with you!"

Qin Jun didn’t want Guan Yu to die in the world of Journey to the West; after all, Guan Yu was the very first God and Demon who had truly made him formidable.

However, the world of Journey to the West was relatively safe, at least not as uncontrollable as the world of Investiture of the Gods.

Supreme Divine Power?

Daji and Li unconsciously gaped, their eyes wide with astonishment and cuteness.

Guan Yu was likewise stunned, as if struck by lightning, completely at a loss for words.

"System, send Guan Yu into the world of Journey to the West!" Qin Jun said inwardly, then looked at Guan Yu again and smiled, "Don’t forget my words. Help me recruit some allies!"

Guan Yu faltered, his worldview shattered, his mind muddled and unable to sort out his thoughts.

Soon, Guan Yu vanished from the spot, eliciting a cry of surprise from Li.

"Brother Qin Jun, did you really use a supreme Divine Power to send him to another world?" Li grasped Qin Jun’s hand anxiously and asked, aware that even her father did not possess such powers.

Daji’s eyes sparkled, and as for Li Yuanba, he was almost ready to kneel in reverence.

Qin Jun pretended to be enigmatic and nodded, raising his chin and looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, his face filled with the melancholy of a poet, as if burdened with countless tales, captivating Li with admiration and infatuation.

"All right, let’s return to Guarding Slaughter City. The conquest of kingdoms begins tomorrow!"

Qin Jun said with a laugh, his sleeves waving. Guan Yunchang’s allure was not slight, and hopefully, he could bring many generals back to aid Qin Jun’s conquests on all fronts!

...

After returning to Guarding Slaughter City, evening was nearing.

Qin Jun held a meeting to discuss how many people to take. The military strength of the Great Qin Kingdom was quite average, and its five strongest legions were continuously besieging cities, unable to divide their forces.

Nevertheless, there was no need for the five major legions to deal with the kingdoms; strong warriors could conquer cities, and regular soldiers could suppress them by sheer number.

"Your Majesty, you must take me along this time!" Nezha said excitedly, eager for action after being pampered for so long.

"All right!" Qin Jun agreed with a shake of his head and a smile.

Li Yuanba suggested, "Why not just bring my sons and daughters? Each one of them has the power to sweep through kingdoms."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun also thought it was a good idea.

Li Yuanba’s adopted children numbered one hundred and twenty-two, enough to form a small legion.

"How about forming the Golden Bird Army with your children?" Qin Jun proposed with a smile.

Golden Bird Army?

Li Yuanba’s eyes immediately shone with excitement. Being the true form of the Giant Bird, having an army named after him naturally thrilled him.
