Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Yan Tian Shi [4 more updates]

"Your Majesty, there are twelve True Immortal Realm cultivators chasing us from behind, probably the enforcers of this region,"

The Nine Spirits Yuan Holy spoke, and Qin Jun did not even open his eyes, casually saying, "Send them away, just don’t kill them."

Qin Jun was quite tolerant towards those with no grudges against him. From the perspective of the enforcers, they were just doing their duty.

The Nine Spirits Yuan Holy nodded, turned around, and with a gentle wave of his hand, wind blades flew out from the demonic wind, tearing through the air, and heading towards the twelve enforcers.

The already struggling enforcers did not even have a chance to dodge before they were continuously sliced by the wind blades, screaming in agony as they came to a stop.

The demonic wind howled once and then vanished from their sight, even soaring beyond the Floating Sky City region.

"Such incredible speed, could that Lion Demon have reached the Golden Immortal Realm?"

The lord of Floating Sky City, Chen Kang, spoke gravely, his middle-aged and majestic self clutching a bloodied chest, with his aura in complete disarray.

The wind blades of the Nine Spirits Yuan Holy were not simply ordinary attacks; they also disrupted their magical powers, making it impossible for them to continue the pursuit.

"Damn it! Let’s report this to the Holy City!"

"Report such a trivial issue? It’s just the loss of a menial worker!"

"Trivial? The other party is outrageously strong, we might not be a match for him even if we all join forces!"

"Hmph! I, for one, don’t wish to court death!"

The enforcers began arguing among themselves, adding to the irritability of the already frustrated Chen Kang.

Each of the eleven enforcers hailed from different powers and had more or less enmity toward each other, making it impossible for Chen Kang to have full control over the enforcement team—perhaps the Sacred Emperor had intended this.

"Enough! Stop arguing and report to the Sacred Emperor!" Chen Kang shouted sternly, extremely vexed, wishing he could slap these arrogant fools to death.

At that moment, the only female cultivator among the enforcers said, "Don’t you think that young man might be the Qin Emperor, and could that Lion Demon be the Nine-Headed Lion that recently pledged loyalty to Qin Emperor?"

The day the Nine Spirits Yuan Holy made his flamboyant appearance, countless cultivators witnessed it in person, and some even recorded it with spirit pearls. The Nine-Headed Lion became instantly famous and wildly discussed throughout the Southern Domain.

At her words, everyone fell silent.

The Heavenly Convention was about to commence, and it was indeed possible they had bumped into Qin Emperor.

If it was Qin Emperor, then it all made sense. The Qin Emperor not adhering to the Sacred Laws was expected by everyone. It would actually be suspicious if he obediently complied.

"Whether he is the Qin Emperor or not, we’re no longer getting involved! We can’t manage it anyway, the man has fled!"

Chen Kang waved his hand, feeling a mix of shock and doubt. Could it really be the Qin Emperor?

Everyone in the Holy Dynasty, including himself, was curious about the kind of upheaval the Qin Emperor would cause upon arriving at the Holy Dynasty and what the outcome would be. Now that this legendary figure seemingly appeared before his eyes, he felt a sense of unreality.

All enforcers nodded their heads, with each of their eyes flashing an excited gleam.

The Qin Emperor had come!

...

The Holy Dynasty was much larger than Qin Jun had imagined, at least currently surpassing the lands of the mundane world. Even after flying for an hour, he had not yet reached the Holy City.

If this were just the Southern Domain’s skies, it would be one thing, but this place seemed to exist like a small world within, which was astonishing.

Some said the Holy Dynasty was hosted within a mighty artifact, others claimed it existed in another world, merely connected to the Southern Domain.

Qin Jun sat amidst the demonic wind, musing. How awesome would it be if the Great Qin imperial palace were established here one day?

"Ding! Main quest triggered—Conquer the Heaven World of the Southern Domain! Quest details: As the host covets the world where the Holy Dynasty resides, the main quest is triggered. Within five years, the host must conquer the Heaven World of the Southern Domain, expelling or subjugating the Holy Dynasty! Successful completion will reward one God and Demon summoning chance and one random draw! Failure will result in a two-level demotion!"

What the heck!

Even this can trigger a main quest?

Qin Jun was dumbstruck, cursing in his heart, "What kind of main quest is this? The rewards are too stingy, aren’t they?"

"The system reserves the right to explain, and the system does not wish to explain."

"..."

Faced with the system, Qin Jun was the least temperamental, only able to endure!

However, the good thing was that the time limit for this mission was five years, which was quite ample!

Just then, the demonic wind suddenly stopped, causing Qin Jun to frown and ask, "What’s wrong?"

The Nine Spirits Yuan Holy explained, "There’s a formation ahead, covering a vast area, and a battle is currently taking place within it."

A formation?

Qin Jun puzzled, then asked, "Why stop? Can’t we just go around it?"

"There’s something good inside the formation," Old Man Yi said, licking his lips with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun’s interest was piqued; he immediately stood up and walked over to the Nine Spirits Yuan Holy to look ahead. At about a kilometer away, a huge purple net-like barrier blocked the way. The end of the purple barrier was not visible, as if the world was split in two by it. Indistinct battle cries could be heard.

Thump! Thump! Thump...

Qin Jun’s heartbeat inexplicably quickened, and he felt a warm flow surging within him. This uncontrollable sensation reminded him of the time he absorbed the Infernal Aqua.

"What’s happening?"

Qin Jun asked in his mind, hoping the system could provide an answer. The system was the most knowledgeable about the conditions of his body. He did not reveal his Infernal Demon bloodline to the God and Demons, planning instead to keep it as a trump card.

"Unclear, the host should enter and find out," the system responded promptly.

The tone seemed to be enticing Qin Jun, somewhat different from usual.

Qin Jun commanded in a deep voice, "Charge straight through!"

If the other party’s formation was blocking the way, then he would break through it directly!

Who did he need to fear now?

Upon receiving Qin Jun’s command, the Nine Spirits Yuan Holy slightly smiled and immediately drove the demonic wind forward. The sudden acceleration made the young man in plain clothes scream.

Clang——

Like glass shattering, the demonic wind directly broke through the purple barrier, and the formation instantaneously shattered.

Within the formation was a large floating island where cultivators from both sides were fiercely battling, with bodies strewn all over. At a glance, there seemed to be at least fifty thousand dead.

As the formation shattered, all the cultivators simultaneously turned to look at the demonic wind that had abruptly intruded.

Qin Jun’s gaze, however, fixed on a huge piece of gold stone at the center of the island. It hung suspended above an altar, rotating on its own, emitting golden light, illuminating the surrounding battles with a holy and majestic glow.

"What is that..."

Qin Jun frowned in thought; just the sight of that gold stone ignited in him an uncontrollable desire to possess it.

He quickly instructed the Nine Spirits Yuan Holy, "Stop!"

Without needing his prompt, the Nine Spirits Yuan Holy had already ceased movement, his gaze also fixed on the gold stone as if full of meaning, "I didn’t expect to find a Primordial Heaven Stone here!"

Primordial Heaven Stone?

Qin Jun was baffled, yet both Chang’e and Old Man Yi gazed at the gold stone with burning eyes, a testimony to its extraordinary origin.

"Act! Seize that gold stone!" Qin Jun decisively ordered.

He did not consider the battle below at all!

His joining the fray was akin to instigating conflict, at least leading the two groups of cultivators to join forces against him—or so he comforted himself.
