The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 425: Fire Qilin

Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Fire Qilin

"I am the Qin Emperor!"

The voice of Qin Jun echoed throughout several blocks, leaving the guests in the courtyard stunned, the cultivators watching from outside stunned, and even the great personages observing in secret widened their eyes, all wearing expressions as if they had heard wrong.

The Qin... Qin Emperor?

Boom!

The entire Holy City seemed to explode at that moment, as the surrounding cultivators cried out in shock.

"How is this possible? How did the Qin Emperor come here?"

"Is he the legendary Qin Emperor? Indeed, a young Emperor!"

"No wonder he could suppress the Qilin’s son so effortlessly!"

"What do you mean ’no wonder’? Doesn’t the Qin Emperor suppressing the Qilin’s son imply that, even after setting aside his power and influence, he’s still the top genius of the time?"

"Of course, didn’t you know? My life’s goal! At last, to see it with my own eyes!"

Among the guests in the courtyard, some were excited, some were frightened, and some even knelt down on the spot, their faces filled with admiration.

As the name of the Qin Emperor spread, he had unconsciously gathered many followers.

Wherever people are, they look up to the strong, and Qin Jun is one of the few in millennia who could pose a threat to the Imperial Dynasty.

Cries of surprise came from the various palaces on the peak of the Sacred Emperor.

The Saint Sect was in an uproar.

The God Temple boiled with excitement.

Even the night could not obscure the radiance of Qin Jun.

Wherever the name of the Qin Emperor went, unrest followed!

"I shall join the Heavenly Convention!"

Qin Jun swept his gaze across the entire venue, smiling haughtily, as if issuing a challenge to all the geniuses.

Wherever his gaze fell, everyone involuntarily lowered their heads, only Jin Wuhui forcefully suppressed his own fear to meet Qin Jun’s eyes.

Seeing Jin Wuhui, the corners of Qin Jun’s mouth lifted subtly as he thought to himself, "You cannot escape! Sooner or later, you will be mine!"

"Your Majesty truly stands out among your peers," the Nine Spirits Saint exclaimed in admiration.

Even Old Man Yi, who rarely had anything but criticism for Qin Jun, nodded in agreement.

Chang’e’s eyes flickered with a brilliant light as she thought, "The destiny that led me to descend to this world and join him, could it be the will of heaven?"

Earth Traveler Monkey also kept flattering him nonstop, and this time it was genuine.

The title of the Qilin’s son was one they had heard countless times since coming to the Holy City, yet it seemed so feeble before Qin Jun.

"This won’t do! I must take action!"

The Sacred Emperor said impatiently. At this rate, Qin Jun might actually kill all the geniuses at the banquet, who were the pillars of the next generation for the Imperial Dynasty!

The Empress promptly grabbed him, saying in a low voice, "Not now, the people from the God Temple have yet to arrive. What if the Qin Emperor decides to kill you?"

The Sacred Princess also stood up to stop him, saying, "Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

The Qin Emperor was notoriously audacious. Last time, the Sacred Emperor could use the Imperial Dynasty’s advancement scroll as a bargaining chip, but what about this time?

Even though he had already enlisted the God Temple as his backing, the Qin Emperor was no fool—if the God Temple’s people had arrived, the Sacred Emperor would probably have already led an attack against him.

The Sacred Emperor calmed down, took a deep breath, and then sat back down.

Meanwhile, Qin Jun, standing on Sun Lin, spoke in a cold, mocking tone, "Where did all your earlier bluster go?"

After seeing Zhu Yanqing and Qin Jun being intimate, Sun Lin had not quietly withdrawn but had approached, bursting with a murderous intent at a disagreement, leaving Qin Jun with no psychological pressure to kill him.

Sun Lin, lying prostrate on the ground, had his face contorted in the utmost distortion, flames of rage dancing nonstop in his pupils, his heart occupied by an unprecedented, raging desire to kill.

"I will not accept this! I must kill him!"

Sun Lin roared in his heart, trying his best to push up his arms, but Qin Jun’s foot was like Mount Tai itself, making it impossible for him to move.

Qin Jun himself was also a body cultivator. His undying saintly body and the Innate Breathing method taught by Roaring Sky Dog made him a humanoid monster in his own right. Yang Shiqi might not even be able to subdue him using brute force alone.

The Qilin’s fire crazily surged out from Sun Lin’s body, and his energy began to soar once again.

Qin Jun’s eyes flickered, but he did not immediately kill Sun Lin.

"What is he waiting for?"

Qi Xie suddenly stood up, feeling uneasy from the aura Sun Lin was emitting, but Qin Jun seemed unconcerned, which puzzled him.

Could it be that Qin Jun was so arrogantly blind?

Who didn’t know Sun Lin harbored the soul of a Qilin within him, which, once activated, could even trouble warriors of the Immortal Realm?

Yet Qin Jun calmly took out his Silver Dragon Soul Spear. Although he had recently practiced the Sword Dao diligently, the spear was still his strongest skill.

And while the Silver Dragon Soul Spear might not be of the highest grade, it possessed a unique feature, soul devouring and potential for growth, which Qin Jun had never forgotten.

"System, is the thing inside this guy really the soul of a Qilin?" Qin Jun asked again in his heart, worried about being tricked.

"Yes!"

The system’s response allowed Qin Jun to sigh in relief.

Just then, Sun Lin began to push himself up, his immense strength making Qin Jun’s foot incapable of holding him down.

"The power of a Qilin, is it..."

Qin Jun narrowed his eyes in thought. At the same time, the Qilin’s fire moved and transformed, quickly taking on the shape of a fire Qilin, standing four meters tall, lowering its head to roar at Qin Jun, looking majestic and powerful.

The guests all widened their eyes, and while the Qilin’s fire appeared in the form of blazing flames, it nevertheless shook their very souls.

Qin Jun stepped back, and Sun Lin, swaying, slowly stood upright. He turned to look at Qin Jun, and now he lacked his former handsome elegance, instead filled with violence and malevolence.

Seeing Sun Lin in such a state, everyone inhaled sharply.

"Tsk, tsk, this Qilin seems to be no good thing," Old Man Yi remarked in amazement. The Nine Spirit Yuan Saint and Chang’e prepared to intervene at any moment, while Earth Traveler Monkey had already burrowed into the ground.

"This Qilin’s origins are unknown; it descended from the heavens and was born in the Saint Sect. Whether it is a blessing or a calamity remains to be seen," the Saintess expressed her concerns. Hearing this, the Sacred Queen snorted coldly, while the Sacred Emperor’s eyes flickered, looking at the fire Qilin in the crystal ball, instinctively feeling a sense of aversion.

If it weren’t for the Sacred Queen’s protection, the Sacred Emperor would not have allowed Sun Lin to live until now.

While he tolerated the existence of the Saint Sect, the Sacred Emperor would not let the sect become too powerful. By suppressing and then supporting it, he ensured that its power stayed within certain limits. This was the political way of the Sacred Emperor.

"You think you can kill me?"

Sun Lin looked up and said coldly, his eyes full of madness, especially upon seeing the fire Qilin, which made him extremely agitated.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Qin Jun’s face showed a mocking expression. He suddenly charged at the fire Qilin, his spear like a dragon.

Although the fire Qilin was immensely powerful, it lacked its own consciousness and did not sense the impending danger.

Piercing sounds—

The Silver Dragon Soul Spear stabbed into the fire Qilin’s body, and in that instant, Sun Lin felt an explosive pain in his head, causing him to scream miserably, his body softening as he knelt on the ground.

"Roar—"

The fire Qilin roared in agony. To the astonishment of all who watched, the flames on the fire Qilin’s body were rapidly sucked into Qin Jun’s spear.

"A mere evil creature dares to harm me?"

Qin Jun laughed wildly, feeling an immense thrill in his heart, and never missed any opportunity to show off!

So what if you are the son of a Qilin?

I’ll directly harvest your Qilin’s soul!
