Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Swallow in one gulp [4 updates]

"King Xiangguang? It seems this guy has some reputation, so why does a second-level Earth Immortal Realm cultivation only yield a bit over twenty thousand experience points?"

Qin Jun wondered inwardly, feeling somewhat cheated.

Did the system reduce the experience points allocation?

Is there no justice left in this world?

Cultivating is already hard enough, and now you’re giving me a hard time too!

With a touch of grievance in his heart, little did Qin Jun know his rate of breakthrough had become so fast that it could no longer be any quicker.

Think about Guan Yu, Fa Hai, they spent their whole lives to reach the Transforming Void Realm, while he achieved it in less than a year. Not to mention those who never reached the Transforming Void Realm...

"How dare you kill our King!"

A burly servant shouted in disbelief while another servant immediately drew his sword and slashed at Qin Jun. Utilizing the prescient Divine Power from the 36 Heavenly Transformations, Qin Jun swiftly dodged.

Passersby around them immediately stirred up a commotion.

"King Xiangguang has been killed!"

Someone shouted, seemingly afraid that the incident would not cause enough of a stir.

Qin Jun tilted his neck. Although the two servants were Earth Immortal cultivators, their minor realms were not high. With various Divine Powers at his disposal, Qin Jun felt he could take them on.

Qin Jun had actually become very strong, but he rarely took action.

Heavenly Transformations!

Indestructible Sacred Body!

Samadhi Real Fire!

Law-defying Split Body!

He figured he might as well skip the Purple Rainbow Lightning Technique since it was now considered a mundane cultivation method and of no significant use.

There was also the uncontrollable Extreme Flame Demon God’s Body. Truthfully, in a fight, Qin Jun would dare to battle anyone below the Immortal Realm!

But how could an emperor personally take action?

Qin Jun’s lips curled upward, looking at the two servants who sought to attack him, a mocking smile spreading on his face.

At that moment, Nine Spirits Yuan Saint appeared before Qin Jun, waved his right hand, and directly blasted the two men into ash with an unpredictable Ghost God force, as if they instantly turned to sand, creating an eerily surreal scene.

Boom!

The entire street erupted into chaos instantly!

Killing was forbidden within the Holy City, let alone the victim being King Xiangguang!

"Oh my God! King Xiangguang has been killed, who the hell are they?"

"What on earth was that flame just now?"

"Sss— What kind of evil sorcery is that?"

"Run! Beware of becoming innocent victims!"

The cultivators shouted, widening the gap between themselves and Qin Jun and the others. Old Man Yi also pretended not to know Qin Jun, slipping into the crowd while feigning terror—the theater of life truly depends on one’s acting skills.

"Your Majesty’s Samadhi Real Fire is getting more and more powerful," Nine Spirits Yuan Saint commented, looking back in praise.

Qin Jun shrugged, his face full of self-satisfaction.

Being able to instantly vanquish an opponent across different levels indeed warranted pride, even if the other side was somewhat careless.

Chang’e approached and said leisurely, "Thank you for your protection, Your Majesty."

She deliberately emphasized the word "protection," clearly imbued with a mocking tone.

The fact that Qin Jun stayed so close to her to ward off others both annoyed and amused her. Considered from the perspective of an emperor, the way Qin Jun treated her did move her slightly. At least, he never forced her or made excessive demands.

She had confidence in her own beauty—how many men in the world could withstand it?

"You’re welcome! I can protect you for a lifetime!" Qin Jun said with a wave of his hand and a smile, speaking sweet nothings at just the right time—who knows, he might accidentally succeed in charming her?

Goddesses are elusive.

Alas, Chang’e was not impressed and rolled her eyes without saying more.

"Let’s go," said Qin Jun, scanning the surroundings before intentionally heading in a direction away from Old Man Yi.

"Sigh! Wait for me, you guys!"

Seeing Qin Jun change direction, Old Man Yi quickly squeezed through the crowd, chasing after him while shouting, appearing quite comical, making it hard to associate him with the domineering Demon Emperor from history.

It has to be said, time is a butcher’s knife.

The news of King Xiangguang’s assassination swiftly spread throughout the Holy City.

Even the murder of a commoner would anger the sacred law and bring about the punishment from the Holy Army, let alone the fact that the deceased was King Xiangguang, a royal of the lineage directly descended from the current Holy Princess.

There were many princes in the Holy City, with a very detailed hierarchy, King Xiangguang could only be considered below average. If not part of the Holy Princess’s lineage, probably no one would fear him.

The Holy Princess was the Sacred Emperor’s most beloved woman, and her clan naturally basked in her light.

If you were to name the two most powerful women in the Holy Dynasty, one would be the Holy Princess, and the other would be the Empress.

The former was the wife of the Sacred Emperor, and the latter his mother. Both women were ambitious and powerful. It was said that they often had conflicts, giving the Sacred Emperor a headache.

Qin Jun and his three companions hadn’t walked two streets before fifty-one members of the Holy Army came swooping in to capture them, each at least at the Earth Immortal Realm, with the leading general being at the Immortal Realm.

"Tsk tsk, the Holy Dynasty truly has profound resources."

Qin Jun exclaimed, raising his eyebrows at their casual deployment of fifty Earth Immortal Realm soldiers, their reach indeed far.

Forget the Nine Li Demon Soldiers having fifty thousand Transforming Void Realm soldiers; if they were to fight with fifty Earth Immortal Realm soldiers without considering formation strategy, victory would be difficult.

The gap between the Earth Immortal Realm and the Transforming Void Realm was just too vast!

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" the Nine Spirits Yuan Holy asked with a smile, not the least bit concerned about the Holy Army.

"What should we do? If they dare to make a move, just eradicate them!" Qin Jun said with a cold laugh.

He didn’t believe for a second that the Sacred Emperor was unaware of his arrival in the Holy City. The emperor was just playing dumb.

Perhaps the Holy Army was sent by the Sacred Emperor to test him.

"Don’t just stand there, surrender yourselves!"

The leading Immortal Realm general commanded with a stern voice. His tiger-like back and bear-like waist gave him an oppressive presence that would surely have terrified the average person into weak knees.

Unfortunately, Qin Jun’s group paid them no mind and continued on their way.

"Qin kid, you really suit my taste. Back in the day, whoever I disliked, died. Now that I’m old, my edges have been worn smooth," Old Man Yi said with a chuckle.

Qin Jun didn’t think this was an exaggeration.

Many ancient texts narrated how the Demon Emperor was capricious; if he was angered, corpses would lie in piles for miles and blood would flow like rivers.

Looking at Old Man Yi now, Qin Jun actually felt ashamed on behalf of his once mighty title of Demon Emperor.

This old man had become too lacking in integrity and bottom lines!

"Kill them!"

Seeing Qin Jun and the others chatting and laughing with no regard for the Holy Army, the Immortal Realm general was immediately furious and ordered decisively.

Fifty Earth Immortal Realm soldiers charged swiftly at Qin Jun’s group of four.

The Nine Spirits Yuan Holy turned his head back, transformed into a lion-headed figure, and stretched his neck. His lion head grew larger, and in a single gulp, he swallowed the fifty Earth Immortal Realm soldiers.

This scene left the spectators on balconies alongside the street and the cultivators at the end of the road utterly stunned.

Hiss—

What kind of monster was this?

Swallowing fifty Earth Immortal Realm cultivators in a single mouthful?

Those who witnessed that scene felt as if they were in a dream, it was so surreal.

Qin Jun couldn’t help but swallow hard; Nine Spirits Yuan Holy was usually so gentle, so the massive contrast when he devoured a person was shocking, making one realize that this guy was actually a formidable demon king.

"Tsk tsk, things have really gotten big now,"

Old Man Yi said with laughter, hoping for more chaos. Chang’e remained calm, merely watching Nine Spirits Yuan Holy curiously, as the move he had just performed was clearly extraordinary, her interest piqued about its origins.

Qin Jun waved his hand, "Continue our stroll. If a hundred come, kill a hundred, if ten thousand come, kill ten thousand!"

He wanted the Sacred Emperor to make a statement since he expected the Sacred Emperor would try to deal with him at the Heavenly Convention anyway.

Now that he had grown strong enough to pose a threat to the Sacred Emperor, he imagined that if he were the Sacred Emperor, he would probably also look for a way to eliminate him.
