Chapter 443: Chapter 443: Ziwei Emperor Star【Third Update】

Not knowing how long he had soared upward, Qin Jun felt that the purple star was still impossibly far away.

It was as if he would never reach the purple star, a feeling that left Qin Jun in utter despair.

"If this keeps up, won’t I miss the Heavenly Convention?"

Qin Jun’s mind was in turmoil. Once he missed it, he would be forcibly downgraded five levels by the system, and he would have to descend from the Earth Immortal Realm to the Transforming Void Realm.

Damn!

Just thinking about it made life seem bleak.

Mixed emotions filled Qin Jun’s heart, but now he had no idea how to exit. He could only bury his head and keep flying upward.

...

Again, he flew for an unknown stretch of time, perhaps for a minute, or perhaps across endless eons.

Qin Jun’s consciousness, worn down by the tedium of time, was steeped in desperation and confusion. He had forgotten his initial intent and the Heavenly Convention.

He forgot why he was moving forward and only flew towards the purple star mechanically.

"Why are you so obsessed?"

An eerie voice rang in Qin Jun’s mind.

"I... I just want to obtain it..."

Qin Jun muttered blankly, while the flame-pattern on his forehead twisted, seemingly burning fiercely.

"Roar——"

The Four-clawed Golden Dragon roared vehemently, as if trying to awaken Qin Jun.

"Why do you want to obtain it?"

The voice pressed him again, more oppressive than before, as if pushing Qin Jun to the brink of collapse.

Qin Jun was silent, his face full of bewilderment.

With a bang!

An explosion in his mind and a piercing pain made him clutch his head and let out a long howl, startling the Four-clawed Golden Dragon into a frenzied dance.

At that moment, the demonic aura within Qin Jun’s body suddenly dispersed and quickly condensed into a majestic demonic shadow, standing arrogantly behind him, looming over the starry sky.

"I must obtain it... I, the Emperor, must obtain it!"

Qin Jun roared ferociously, and at that instant, his consciousness finally cleared.

He had come to comprehend the fruits of the Earth Immortal path, he simply yearned to pursue the supreme throne!

In an instant, the demonic shadow behind him reached out towards the purple star, and the entire cosmos trembled as an invisible force pulled the star, causing it to fly rapidly towards Qin Jun.

Boom, rumble——

The purple star loomed increasingly large in Qin Jun’s eyes, and the overwhelming pressure it brought as it sped through space was unimaginable, enough to frighten even Qin Jun.

But realizing that he was in the Primordial Spirit state and that all of this might be an illusion, he mustered his courage.

A true warrior dares to face the stars that collide head-on!

"My Earth Immortal fruit, come to me!"

Qin Jun laughed wildly. Although he hadn’t previously understood the Earth Immortal fruit in detail, he felt, deep down, that the purple star was his Earth Immortal fruit.

The purple star flew swiftly, shattering countless stars along its path, unstoppable as it attacked.

Soon, it was less than ten miles from Qin Jun. In front of it, Qin Jun seemed as insignificant as an ant, unable to perceive its entirety, as if the sky were collapsing on him.

"Come on!"

Qin Jun cried out wildly, and with a bang, the purple star collided with him, obliterating both him and the demonic shadow.

In that moment, Qin Jun felt the world spin around him. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself still within the cauldron. The boiling medicinal fluid that had once reached his neck had now fallen to the level of his buttocks.

Around the cauldron, outside of the array, Old Man Yi, Sha Wujing, Nezha, and others looked anxiously at the rolling thunderclouds in the sky. From what they could see, nearly a hundred people had gathered in the Imperial Garden—Qin Jun’s confidants, high-ranking officials of the Great Qin Heaven Court, and even Daji and You Fenghuang were among them.

"Your Majesty, will there be any issues?" You Fenghuang asked nervously, clutching Daji’s arm.

The divine retribution hovering above the Holy City was still brewing, its Tianwei so daunting that even Old Man Yi was breaking out in a cold sweat.

"If this divine retribution descends, the entire Holy City will be obliterated. What on earth did the kid comprehend about the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit..."

Old Man Yi thought anxiously. Even when he had comprehended a fourth-grade Dao fruit years ago, it hadn’t invoked such a strong divine retribution.

Keep in mind that this was simply a breakthrough from the Transforming Void Realm to the Earth Immortal Realm, and the divine retribution it attracted made him, a super-strong late-stage Scattered Immortal Realm cultivator, shudder with fear. This showed how extraordinary the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit that Qin Jun comprehended must be.

At the same time, a purple meteor was streaking across the clouds of the Nine Heavens at a terrifying speed, sparking and wrapped in flames, with the purple star engulfed in fire.

In the Western Domain, within a resplendently golden Buddhist temple,

a ten-zhang-tall golden Buddha was reciting scriptures. He suddenly looked up, his gaze piercing through the temple roof and immediately caught sight of the purple meteor streaking across the sky.

"The Ziwei Emperor Star descends to the mortal realm, signifying the imminent birth of a destined emperor..."

The gigantic golden Buddha murmured to himself. He was the recently dominant powerful being in the Western Domain, referred to as the Buddha, Tathāgata, by the local Buddhism.

...

In the midst of an endless ocean, an island made of gigantic dragon bones floated. On the island, a man in black robes sat cross-legged in meditation. He suddenly opened his eyes, which shot out two startling beams of light. Looking up, he caught sight of the purple meteor slicing through the sky.

"A Ziwei star, how is that possible... How could there be such a monstrous genius in this world?"

The man in black exclaimed in shock, his body trembling.

He was the ruler of these vast waters, and if others were to see him so out of sorts, it would quickly cause a stir.

...

On a cracked red landscape, where volcanoes stretched far and wide without any vegetation, the land crisscrossed with countless rivers of magma,

there was a splash!

Suddenly, a figure emerged from one of the rivers of lava, covered in magma, barely making out his features. He stared at the purple meteor streaking across the sky and whispered, "Countless decades have passed, and at last, I see the Ziwei Emperor Star descend upon the world again..."

"Chaos is about to engulf the world, and those aloof beings will find it hard to remain seated."

"Tsk, tsk, is the Great Tribulation approaching?"

The figure cloaked in magma muttered to himself. After the purple meteor disappeared over the horizon, he remained in place, lost in thought.

...

The appearance of the purple meteor caused a stir throughout many domains and oceans.

Those with high status or extensive knowledge all recognized that the purple meteor was the Ziwei Emperor Star.

It is called the Emperor Star because it represents an emperor.

The Ziwei Emperor Star recognizes only emperors, and the ones it acknowledges are all earth-shattering sovereigns.

Elsewhere, the entire Holy Dynasty trembled, all the flying islands shaking violently, as if the world of the Southern Domain might collapse at any moment.

"A fourth-grade Dao Fruit... shocking the world!"

Old Man Yi exclaimed, causing an uproar.

The entire history of the Holy Dynasty had never seen the comprehension of a fourth-grade Dao Fruit. To them, a fourth-grade Dao fruit was a legend, nonexistent.

But the scene before them made them believe otherwise—the entire Holy City was trembling, and they could feel that the epicenter of the tremors was coming from Qin Jun.

Just then, countless lotus flowers began to drift down from the rolling thunderclouds above the Holy City, pure and sacred, indescribably beautiful.

"A second-grade Dao Fruit! The heavens scatter lotus flowers! Damn, damn, damn, damn!"

Old Man Yi exclaimed, even using vulgar words he had learned from Qin Jun appropriately.
