Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Earthshaking [Third Update]

"Nine Spirit Sage, from ’Journey to the West.’"

"Identity: Nine-Headed Lion, the mount of Taiyi Zhenren!"

"Cultivation: Ninth Level of the Golden Immortal Realm!"

"Cultivation Method: Nine Spirit Sacred Law!"

"Divine Powers: Swallowing Heaven and Earth! Nine Spirit War Soul! Six Realms Roar!"

"Loyalty: 95 (full value 100)!"

This was the attribute list of the Nine Spirit Sage, very simple. The system’s summary of the attributes of gods and demons was always straightforward, listing only the strongest abilities. For instance, Nezha, he had more than a hundred kinds of spells in his arsenal.

Ninth Level of the Golden Immortal Realm!

This almost broke the record for the highest level of cultivation among Qin Jun’s subordinates!

Nezha was at the fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm, King Huang Feng at the second level, and now Nine Spirit Sage showed up directly at the ninth level, plus his monstrous divine powers, within the Golden Immortal Realm he was absolutely an invincible existence.

With the Nine Spirit Sage, Qin Jun even felt confident enough to take on the Southern Sea Dragon King!

The most pressing matter was the Heavenly Convention; anyhow, Li, being a princess in the dragon palace, was safe.

"Nine Spirit Sage, Nine Spirit Sage... Your Majesty has waited for you until the flowers wilted."

Qin Jun murmured. The Nine Spirit Sage was one of the few demons in ’Journey to the West’ who didn’t want to eat Tang Monk. He confronted Sun Wukong and others because his foster grandson, the Yellow Lion Monster, had been killed by Sun Wukong. He sought vengeance purely for his grandson and did not bring along any henchmen. He sat openly in his cave waiting for Sun Wukong to come to him.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the Nine Spirit Sage was one of the most righteous demons in ’Journey to the West.’

Therefore, the Nine Spirit Sage had a loyalty of ninety-five as soon as he appeared.

Boom—

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered above Guarding Slaughter City, fierce winds ravaged the area, and a tremendous demonic energy appeared with a crushing momentum, making everyone inside Guarding Slaughter City feel breathless, as if struck hard in the chest, immensely uncomfortable.

Nezha, King Huang Feng, Chang’e, Old Man Yi, Taming Dragon Arhat, Red Boy, Li Yuanba, Roaring Sky Dog, and other powerhouses within Guarding Slaughter City flew into the sky, each as if facing a mighty foe.

Old Man Yi mumbled to himself, "Such powerful demon energy..."

Even King Huang Feng looked solemn; fear barely concealed in his eyes, the presence of the newcomer sent chills down his spine.

Atop a mountain, the Savage Elephant King lay prostrate on the ground, trembling, and whispering, "How can this be... such a strong presence..."

Even stronger than the Demon Emperor!

Just by sensing this energy, the Savage Elephant King could judge that the Demon King of Bull would not be a match for the newcomer.

Qin Jun became excited. Damn, was the Nine Spirit Sage finally arriving?

This sort of phenomenon could only be caused by an extremely powerful being; he didn’t believe his luck was so poor that a formidable enemy had come knocking at his door.

And it was a mighty figure from the Demon Clan to boot...

"Roar—"

A roar that penetrated the Three Realms and shook the Netherworld Palace rang out, making Nezha and the others break into a cold sweat.

At the same time, in the Underworld.

From inside the Nether Emperor Palace came a surprised murmur, "Huh? This voice is..."

Qin Jun looked up, his mouth agape, his face filled with shock.

He saw in the sky a series of immensely huge lion heads, majestic and extraordinary, each one as large as a mountain. Upon careful counting, there were indeed nine, and viewing them from below instilled an awe-inspiring pressure that involuntarily commanded respect.

Nine Spirit Yuan Saint!

Nine-Headed Lion!

Qin Jun stood up excitedly, while everyone else was intensely nervous.

"Where did this earth-shattering demon come from..." Old Man Yi muttered, eyes wide open. Even when facing the Flat Sky Demon Sovereign and spirits from ancient times, he had never lost his composure like this, which showed just how powerful the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint was.

Qin Jun couldn’t help but recall the performance of the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint in "Journey to the West", who swallowed the westward-traveling master and disciples in one gulp, instantly defeating them without mercy. Of course, there were also fans of Sun Wukong who said it was because Sun Wukong was unprepared, but the outcome is more important than the process.

And the master of the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint was none other than the Taiyi Heavenly Venerate, one of the Four Imperial Lords of Taoism, the Qinghua Emperor of the East!

It is said that with a single roar, the Nine-Headed Lion could open the gates to the deepest reaches of the Netherworld Hell, which is insanely impressive!

"A reminder for the host," the system said indifferently, "the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint’s cultivation isn’t just at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm. But, because the host’s cultivation is too low, if it goes beyond the Golden Immortal Realm, I fear the host won’t be able to handle it. Hence, the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint’s cultivation level was reduced. I hope the host continues to strive for improvement!"

Damn!

Am I holding back the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint?

Qin Jun’s eyes widened, cursing inwardly non-stop. No wonder he couldn’t summon gods and demons beyond the Golden Immortal Realm; it was because his own cultivation was too low. If the system didn’t accommodate him and directly summoned the likes of Demon Emperors and Kings, the whole world would be in chaos, and he could even be slapped to death with one blow. Tathāgata was a prime example, already dominating a domain.

Looking at the majestic Nine Spirit Yuan Saint in the sky, Nezha clenched his teeth and asked, "What demon are you, and why have you come to our Flat Sky domain?"

The Demon King of Bull was already the ruler of the Southern Demon Clan. This Nine-Headed Lion must have come from another domain, and showing up over Guarding Slaughter City, likely had ulterior motives, perhaps even hostile intentions.

Nezha and the others were already preparing for a great battle.

Old Man Yi’s eyes darted about, wondering if he should run away?

He subconsciously looked towards Qin Jun and was instantly dumbfounded; the guy was actually staring at the Nine-Headed Lion with a silly smile, almost drooling.

"Could it be..." Old Man Yi’s heart was struck by waves of shock.

"I am the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint!"

A voice of authority that shocked heaven and earth rang out, making everyone even more tense.

So domineering!

Qin Jun’s eyes nearly sparkled with stars, cough, cough, he couldn’t be like this; after all, he was the king of the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint.

"Are you here to fight?" Li Yuanba shouted angrily.

At his peak, the Giant Bird could possibly contend with the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint, but not at this moment.

Using Sun Wukong as a medium, the Giant Bird could fight on par with Sun Wukong, even faster.

But the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint simply captured Sun Wukong, Tang Monk, and the others in a single bite; the gap was clear.

Of course, the Sun Wukong here is the one on the journey westward as judging by the system, it’s a weakened version of Sun Wukong.

It’s worth mentioning that the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint was not even the top demon in "Journey to the West". There was another stronger than him: the Scorpion Demon. She once stung Tathāgata, causing him unbearable pain, Guanyin dared not get close, she bravely fought against the combined forces of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie in broad daylight. Yet in the end, her innate fear of the rooster was exploited by the Hairy Head Official... paramount as cultivation may be, the principle that one thing suppresses another should not be neglected at times.

"Yuanba, don’t be disrespectful!"

Just then, laughter from Qin Jun echoed through the air. Everyone turned to look and saw Qin Jun sitting at a stone table, drinking a small cup of wine with a smile, "Nine Spirit Yuan Saint, why don’t you come down and pay homage to me? Do you wish to continue scaring my subordinates?"

A loyalty of ninety-five was enough to let Qin Jun dare to joke with him.

Upon hearing this, Nezha and others were astounded. From what Qin Jun said, was this terrifying demon here to pay homage to him?

As soon as the words were spoken, a beam of golden light descended from the sky. The majestic Nine-Headed Lion vanished, and in an instant, a figure appeared before Qin Jun, so quickly that Nezha and the others couldn’t even react.
