The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 347 Wangtian Cliff

Chapter 347: Chapter 347 Wangtian Cliff

After the Golden Wing Army was established, Qin Jun began to arrange affairs for the unclaimed lands. With the presence of superpower individuals like Yuan Hong, Lei Zhenzi, Golden Horn, and Silver Horn, there was really no need for concern.

The only forces within the Southern Domain now capable of threatening the unclaimed lands are the Flat Sky Demon Sovereign or the Sacred Emperor.

No, that’s not right; there were also Old Man Yi and the ancient spirit that had emerged from the Canglan Kingdom back then, but those two likely would not act against Qin Jun.

"Additionally, I would like to introduce a major figure from the Demon Clan to you all." Qin Jun changed the subject, sparking curiosity among everyone present, while his confidants already knew whom he was referring to.

Flat Sky Demon Sovereign!

This powerful being from the Demon Clan had undoubtedly disrupted the balance between the Human and Demon Clans in the Southern Domain. Previously, it was the Human Clan suppressing the Demon Clan, but now the Demon Clan subtly held the upper hand. People under the reign of the Sacred Dynasty might not have felt it, but those on the human borders could experience the harsh reality.

"The Flat Sky Demon Sovereign is unbeatable by anyone in the Human Clan. Recently, he has been attacking the Demonic Dao, striking towards the Righteous Dao," Qin Jun said slowly, his words immediately casting a severe atmosphere over the hall.

Attacking the Righteous Dao?

Cheng Yi asked through gritted teeth, "Your Majesty, do you mean to say that the Flat Sky Demon Sovereign has set his sights on us?"

"Hmm... You have all seen the Savage Elephant King, right? He’s a subordinate of the Flat Sky Demon Sovereign," Qin Jun nodded, though as he spoke, he felt an immense sense of frustration.

The Savage Elephant King was not captured by him.

It was all Old Man Yi’s doing. Had he known this would be the consequence, he would have refused.

Thinking about it carefully, it was possible that Old Man Yi had ulterior motives from the start.

Everyone fell silent; they neither blamed Qin Jun nor dared to do so. Cheng Yi hesitated before asking, "If Your Majesty were to return the Savage Elephant King, could this incident be settled?"

It would be embarrassing for Qin Jun, but as he had said, no one from the Southern Domain’s Human Clan could defeat the Flat Sky Demon Sovereign. Why provoke such a terrifying powerhouse?

Moreover, the Savage Elephant King had always been living comfortably within Guarding Slaughter City, and while he possessed cultivation at the Immortal Realm level, he wasn’t currently needed.

"Return him to settle things? Besides, I have already formed a bloodline contract with the Savage Elephant King," Qin Jun said with a shrug.

A bloodline contract!

The crowd fell silent. If a bloodline contract were to be forcibly removed, it would cause irreparable damage to both parties. To ensure the Savage Elephant King remained unharmed, Qin Jun would have to die.

It seemed this grudge could not be resolved.

"Once the Demon Clan approaches the unclaimed lands, leave and send me a message!"

Qin Jun commanded sternly. With teleportation portals at his disposal, he could return quickly.

Then, by summoning all the God and Demon beings above the Golden Immortal Realm, he refused to believe that the Flat Sky Demon Sovereign would not be overturned!

The crowd could only nod in agreement; Qin Jun’s authority was not to be taken lightly. While he would consult his subordinates on minor matters, he was decisive on major issues.

As of today, a total of seventy-three cities within the unclaimed lands had fallen under Great Qin’s control, and not only had the five great legions not decreased in number, but they had actually doubled.

Each city was capable of recruiting more soldiers than the casualties incurred, not to mention with leaders like Yuan Hong, Lei Zhenzi, and Red Boy, the loss of life was so minimal it was nearly unbelievable.

Meanwhile, many mid-sized and small forces in the unclaimed lands defected to Great Qin outright. The only entity that could pose any real threat to Great Qin, the Black Flame Sect, had remained inactive and uncommitted, as if worldly affairs had nothing to do with them.

Night gave way to dawn.

The next morning, Qin Jun, accompanied by the Savage Elephant King, Li Yuanba, and the Golden Wing Army, traveled through the teleportation portal back to the Great Qin Kingdom and then took to the skies towards the surrounding kingdoms with a map in hand.

The first kingdom on the chopping block was the Wuqi Kingdom!

Qin Jun stood atop the Savage Elephant King, with Li Yuanba and others following close behind. Their impressive retinue flew over the capital city, causing the citizens and cultivators to cry out in astonishment.

"Such a huge demon elephant!"

"Are you blind? That’s Emperor Qin standing on top!"

"Sss—Emperor Qin?"

"What’s he doing here? Wasn’t he in the unclaimed lands?"

"I heard that Emperor Qin seems to be making a move on the kingdoms nearby!"

When Qin Jun and his party set off for the Wuqi Kingdom, a massive army also surged out of the military camp, led by none other than the former National General Nan Meng!

Qin Jun and his forces took down the Wuqi Kingdom’s capital, first seizing control of the highest authorities, which made the rest of the process much easier.

With their strength, the Wuqi Kingdom stood no chance of resisting.

...

Between the Righteous Dao and the Demonic Dao lies Wangtian Cliff, an immeasurably long and hundred-zhang wide vast canyon that stretches across the land like a colossal rift.

Wangtian Cliff is unfathomably deep, rumored to be lined with strange and prohibitive enchantments, such that no matter how advanced one’s cultivation, once fallen in, escape becomes impossible.

Legend has it that during ancient times, a terrifying demon god cleaved the earth with a single sword strike, almost splitting the Southern Domain in two, thus giving birth to Wangtian Cliff.

At this moment, one side of Wangtian Cliff was crowded with countless cultivators, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye could see, with innumerable cultivators also floating in the air.

Among them was Ren Hai of the Righteous Alliance, floating alongside four men and women of regal attire and exuding an indescribable presence, so powerful that they seemed like deities in the sky.

These were the leaders of the five great forces of the Righteous Dao.

The Righteous Alliance, Great Earth Canyon, North Snow Peak, Liyuan Valley, Night Moon Gods Sect!

The five heroes of the Righteous Dao, who could contend with the nine reverends of the Demonic Dao, though overall still slightly weaker.

Millions of cultivators stood silently in front of Wangtian Cliff, waiting in eerie quietude. The whole atmosphere was filled with deadly seriousness that made it hard to even breathe too loud.

"Here they come!"

Ren Hai suddenly exclaimed through gritted teeth, with the other leaders furrowing their brows.

On the opposite horizon of Wangtian Cliff appeared an enormous figure. Massive, indistinct and shrouded in rolling clouds, he exuded a threatening presence like an apocalyptic demon god. Even separated by hundreds of miles, the sight of that terrifying silhouette made cultivators involuntarily swallow hard.

"Can we stop him...?" asked Hu Yuzhi, North Snow Peak’s master, her teeth clenched. She was strikingly beautiful, dressed in wintry white, appearing to be in her early thirties. Despite her attractive features, her aloof aura deterred people from approaching.

Can we stop him?

Ren Hai and the other four leaders fell into silence. They had to stand their ground even if they felt they could not, as allowing the enemy into the Righteous Dao would wreak havoc on the lives of the common people and court disaster.

"Roar—"

A chorus of howls from demonic beasts rose from the horizon, sending shivers down everyone’s spines.

That fearsome figure was none other than the Flat Sky Demon Sovereign!

Upon learning that Qin Jun was in the Righteous Dao, he had immediately led a massive demon army to launch an attack. Although rumors circulated that Emperor Qin had captured the Savage Elephant King, the five heroes of the Righteous Dao could not confront Emperor Qin, nor could the Sacred Emperor possibly hand over his subjects to the Demon Clan. Wouldn’t that be admitting that the Human Clan was inferior to the Demon Clan?

Therefore, the five heroes of the Righteous Dao had no choice but to resist the Flat Sky Demon Sovereign forcefully.

Given the way the Flat Sky Demon Sovereign conducted himself, how could he possibly only come to the Righteous Dao to capture Qin Jun? His real objective was always the territories of the Human Clan.
