Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Depressed Demon Emperor【Four Updates】

"I am the Heaven-Gifted Left General under the Sacred Emperor, if you refuse to follow me, do not blame my fists for being unfeeling!"

The golden figure bellowed angrily, the sound waves vibrating the nine heavens. Fortunately, there were no flying islands nearby; here he could battle with all his might.

Qin Jun squinted his eyes to look, such dazzling golden light he couldn’t even make out the visage of the Heaven-Gifted Left General. Truly, he was trying hard to show off.

The Nine Spirit Prime Sage continued to spur the demonic wind forward, completely ignoring the Heaven-Gifted Left General’s words.

This scene instantly enraged the Heaven-Gifted Left General!

How dare they disrespect him like this!

Bang!

The Heaven-Gifted Left General clenched his fists together; his body rapidly grew larger, transforming into a thousand-meter giant in the blink of an eye, radiating golden brilliance like a sun positioned right in front of Qin Jun and the others.

Little did he know, the Nine Spirit Prime Sage’s demonic wind was extremely fast and flew right past his shoulder, grazing his face as if to slap it, leaving him both shocked and humiliated.

"Damn it!"

The Heaven-Gifted Left General grew even more furious. As soon as the matter of Floating Sky City was reported, the city lord promptly relayed the message to the Sacred Emperor. Subsequently, the Divine Generals Palace encountered the Nine Spirit Prime Sage meddling while on a mission, making the situation even more serious. This forced the Sacred Emperor to dispatch the Heaven-Gifted Left General.

It must be said that the Sacred Emperor’s control over the Imperial Dynasty is absolute, far beyond what the Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty could achieve in terms of seizing power.

Of course, the main reason is that the Sacred Dynasty has many more magical instruments and treasures, allowing for communication speed that neither the Imperial Dynasty nor kingdoms can match.

The Sacred Emperor’s order to the Heaven-Gifted Left General was: "Try to stop them."

The words "try to" were completely ignored by the Heaven-Gifted Left General.

As a super-powerful being at the fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm, in the entire Southern Domain, there were but a handful of existences that he feared. Even if he couldn’t win, he could still escape!

"Return to me!"

The Heaven-Gifted Left General turned and reached out with his hand, like a giant dragon opening its gaping maw, aiming to bite the demonic wind.

"Don’t overestimate yourself!"

Chang’e turned and gently waved her sleeve, and in an instant, an invisible force pierced through the demonic wind, striking directly at the Heaven-Gifted Left General’s hand. Even though he had grown to a thousand meters in height, he was still sent flying backward, vomiting blood from the impact.

The sight of a thousand-meter giant being thrown backwards was spectacular; clouds were scattered by the impact, and blood rained down like a torrential downpour.

"How is this possible... so strong..."

The Heaven-Gifted Left General screamed in horror, clutching his shattered right arm. A casual blow from the opponent had broken his arm, and he had even felt the breath of death, leaving him frozen in place, soul shaken.

How high was the opponent’s cultivation?

The Heaven-Gifted Left General was so frightened that he didn’t dare to chase after them anymore, beginning to question his life.

He came out full of confidence to exorcize demons, yet he hadn’t even seen the face of his opponent before being scared off.

Even he felt utterly humiliated...

Just thinking about the terrifying sensation from earlier, he could only comfort himself by muttering, "Let it be, let it be."

...

"Tsk, tsk, what a coward!"

Qin Jun watched as the figure of the Heaven-Gifted Left General shrank in the distance and couldn’t help commenting.

The young man in plain clothes gaped wide enough to fit an egg through his mouth. That was the Heaven-Gifted Left General! Defeated in one move and so frightened he dared not make another sound.

To say it without exaggeration, the Heaven-Gifted Left General was seen as a guardian deity in the eyes of the people of the Sacred Dynasty.

The two most trusted subordinates of the Sacred Emperor, the Heaven-Gifted Left General and the Heaven-Gifted Right General.

Old Man Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "It looks like the Sacred Dynasty isn’t all good. Under its rule, the strength of the cultivators in the Southern Domain has indeed regressed quite a bit."

During his reign over the Southern Domain, Golden Immortal Realm cultivators were not so rare, and there were even quite a few of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

Ten thousand years have passed, and indeed the scenery has completely changed.

"Don’t worry, in the future, I will make the Human Clan of the Southern Domain even stronger, even surpassing when you were the Demon Emperor," said Qin Jun, turning to smile at Old Man Yi. He was intentionally provoking Old Man Yi, but unfortunately, Old Man Yi didn’t take the bait and simply smiled and nodded.

Old Man Yi had indeed let go of everything. Dynasties, power... they were all illusions; personal cultivation was the only true foundation.

When remembering the battles he had experienced before being suppressed, a bitter smile couldn’t help but emerge on his face.

"What’s wrong, tell me your story," Qin Jun raised his eyebrow and asked.

Since knowing that Old Man Yi was the former Demon Emperor, Qin Jun had always been curious about what he had experienced and who had imprisoned him in the gorge.

According to the ancient records, the Demon Emperor was the premier person in the Southern Domain at that time.

But then he mysteriously disappeared.

With his power, being invincible in the Southern Domain, it was very possible he was suppressed by strong beings from another domain.

Old Man Yi blinked, then laughingly said without concern, "My story is a long one; you don’t even have any wine, so I won’t tell it!"

As soon as the words fell, Qin Jun took out a jug of wine with a flip of his hand.

"..."

Old Man Yi’s mouth twitched as if trampled by a Divine Beast in his heart.

Eventually, under Qin Jun’s pressure, he began to speak.

"Back then, I was unrivaled in the Southern Domain; both humans and demons acknowledged me as their emperor. I even smashed through the neighboring Western Domain. Because I was too powerful, I caught the attention of a mysterious force. They wanted to recruit me, but I refused, and that directly led to a great battle," Old Man Yi recalled with pride shining in his clouded eyes.

He had once been a king!

No, an emperor!

Qin Jun’s mouth twitched; the Western Domain nowadays would absolutely shock you. With Tathagata Buddha presiding over it, if Old Man Yi were to be as overbearing as before, he’d probably end up flattened on the ground, being beaten into submission.

"And what happened after?" Qin Jun asked.

Chang’e and the Nine Spirit Prime Sage listened attentively, while the young man in plain clothes had been put under a spell by Old Man Yi. Now, everything he saw and heard was an illusion created by Old Man Yi.

"After that, I won, but it attracted even more powerful beings. My subordinates were utterly useless," Old Man Yi said, his face filled with frustration. He hadn’t felt it before, but when real trouble came, being invincible meant that he had raised a bunch of pigs as followers.

"And then you were imprisoned in the gorge?" Qin Jun asked, furrowing his brows as he continued, "Who were they, and from which domain?"

If he were to rise to the peak of power in the Southern Domain, would he also face this calamity?

He would probably refuse, just like Old Man Yi. After all, how could the ruler of a domain stoop to serving under someone else?

"I have no idea, they didn’t say a word. As soon as I refused, they attacked," Old Man Yi said dejectedly.

To be attacked at the first disagreement; indeed, it was enough to frustrate him.

And the result was that he had been imprisoned for tens of thousands of years. Emerging once more into the world, everything had changed.

Qin Jun suddenly felt that the waters of this world were very deep, truly a case of there always being someone better.

"Your Majesty, it looks like that is the Holy City right ahead!"

Just then, the Nine Spirit Prime Sage suddenly spoke up, drawing Qin Jun and Old Man Yi’s gaze ahead. They saw a series of massive floating cities appear on the horizon, clustering together with the larger ones closer to the center. Towards the interior, a peak emerged from the clouds below, stretching up into the Cangqiong, as if it reached beyond the sky.

"Is that the Holy City?"

Qin Jun murmured with narrowed eyes, finally, they were arriving!

Once he entered the Holy City and revealed his identity, it would undoubtedly attract countless eyes.

Even the Sacred Emperor would go to great lengths to eliminate him!
