Chapter 485: Chapter 485: The Unrivalled Erlang Shen

They had previously heard Qin Jun was preparing to inquire about news concerning Western Regions Buddhism, so they did not act, as they were also curious. Thus, when Qin Jun posed the question, they finally could not restrain themselves.

Having previously witnessed Xuan Qing’s humiliation, they had been unable to bear it, and if Tathāgata were to learn of this matter, could they endure?

Not only would they annihilate the Southern Domain, but they would also settle accounts with their God Temple.

Under the jurisdiction of the God Temple, the Western Regions were the most unique presence, with overall strength being quite weak, yet paradoxically, a mysterious Tathāgata emerged. With boundless magical power, he had the God Temple at a loss, to the extent that even the Temple Master was defeated by the hands of Tathāgata. This incident had become a taboo topic among the high ranks of the God Temple, which they dared not publicize – firstly, for fear of provoking the Temple Master, and secondly, to avoid disgracing the God Temple.

Now, hearing that Qin Jun actually intended to use Xuan Qing to convey a message, challenging Tathāgata, they suddenly became restless.

The nine Star Officials moved incredibly fast, swiftly arriving in the air above everyone, shining like nine suns. The pressure they emitted made the very earth tremble.

"Nine people, interesting," Qin Jun murmured with narrowed eyes. He instinctively looked towards Yang Jian and noticed there wasn’t a trace of panic on his face, but rather, a smile curving his lips.

Seeing Yang Jian’s smile, Qin Jun immediately felt at ease.

Jin Chanzi whispered softly, "Your Majesty, be careful, nearly all of them are formidable beings from the Scattered Immortal Realm!"

Even as he cautioned, his heart was filled with desolation.

After all, he too was a super expert at the ninth layer of the Golden Immortal Realm. Yet, having pledged himself to Qin Jun, he faced enemies that were each a whole realm stronger than he was.

This gave Jin Chanzi the feeling of being utterly overpowered.

It was a severe blow to his self-esteem!

Qin Jun nodded, and then began to retreat. The rest of the Southern Domain’s geniuses trembled in fear. The oppressiveness of the Scattered Immortal Realm was something they could not resist, let alone facing nine formidable beings of the Scattered Immortal Realm.

The lead Four Star Official spoke in a deep voice, "Sir, it would be wise to turn back, cultivating to your current level was not easy, why squander all your achievements!"

The Four Star Official was wearing a black iron mask, revealing only his eyes. His gaze was fixed on Yang Jian, lofty and utterly indifferent.

He was not simply a Scattered Immortal Realm powerhouse but a being in the early stages of the Mysterious Immortal Realm!

The other eight Star Officials were from the Scattered Immortal Realm, with the Five Star Official having reached the pinnacle of the Scattered Immortal Realm, just like Yang Jian.

On the surface, it appeared that Yang Jian had no chance of victory.

But oddly, Yang Jian’s face still bore a proud smile.

"Perhaps you are of a higher realm than I, but you are still not my match, nor are any of you!"

Yang Jian drew his War God Trident, sweeping it across the nine Star Officials with a disdainful tone, radiating supreme arrogance. The words made the Southern Domain’s geniuses nearly kneel before him in admiration—so damn cool!

Even Qin Jun could not help but mentally praise Yang Jian, truly worthy of being Erlang Shen!

"Let’s just get started!" Yao Xu said with a licked smile, equally reaching the pinnacle of the Scattered Immortal Realm, and this was also the reason he dared to confront the great Star Officials.

Hearing Yao Xu’s words, the others nodded in agreement.

Immediately, the Four Star Official led the charge, diving down fast, followed suit by the rest of the Star Officials. Yang Jian’s combat prowess was too intimidating, they needed a swift and decisive battle.

When the nine terrifyingly powerful beings descended in unison, the ground beneath Qin Jun and the others exploded instantaneously, with broken stones flying and dust being whipped up by the windstorm, prompting Qin Jun and company to hurriedly take flight to escape.

Jin Chanzi protected Qin Jun from left and right, while Qin Jun carried the battered and exhausted Xuan Qing.

Facing the nine Star Officials, Yang Jian let out a cold snort, the Heaven’s Eye opening directly as he leaped, wielding the War God Trident, unstoppable as he soared into the sky.

It was one against nine, and among his opponents, one was of a higher realm than he, and two were on par with him.

If it were anyone else, they probably would have already fled in terror, but Yang Jian’s pride would not allow him to run.

With a thunderous boom that shook the heavens!

Ten peerless powerhouses collided, unleashing an explosion of mana that produced a blinding light. The terrifying shockwave swept in all directions, grinding mountains and plains into ruins. The land for hundreds of miles around trembled, filling distant attendees with fear.

"Oh my God, is this an earthquake?"

"No! It’s a battle! Someone is fighting far away!"

"Impossible... With such formidable might, how powerful must they be?"

"Hard to imagine, is this really the Heavenly Convention?"

All attendees who felt the tremors couldn’t help exclaiming, all turning toward the direction of Yang Jian and the others’ battle, sensing a soul-shaking pressure coming toward them.

On the other side, Yang Jian and nine Star Officials were fighting fiercely, moving through the sky and earth with such speed they resembled ten shooting stars colliding in chaos.

The Star Officials were not afraid of Qin Jun escaping. As long as they were in the Heavenly Realm, there was nowhere for Qin Jun to hide.

"Die!"

Yao Xu condensed two white spears with his hands and hurled them at Yang Jian. The spears tore through the air, striking terror.

Yang Jian transformed into a flash of golden light to dodge and instantly appeared in front of Yao Xu, taunting coldly, "So what if you’re in the same realm? Ants will always be ants!"

As he spoke, Yang Jian slashed down with his blade, shocking Yao Xu into widening his eyes. Subconsciously, he conjured a mana shield to block.

"Bang—"

The terrifying force slammed Yao Xu down, spewing blood, accompanied by the sound of breaking bones. He fell like a meteor into the ruins below, kicking up hundreds of feet of dust.

The formidable Seven-Star Official stood no chance against Yang Jian.

And this was while eight other Star Officials were attacking at the same time. Yang Jian, relying on the Earthly Fiend 72 Transformations, moved with ease.

Sometimes transforming into golden light, sometimes into a gray hawk, he caused endless headaches for the Star Officials.

"What kind of transformation technique is this?"

A Star Official asked in shock. Right after he spoke, Yang Jian thrust his blade with the speed of lightning, directly piercing his chest, freezing the Star Official’s expression. One could see through his pupils the sternness of Yang Jian’s face.

The strongest of the Four Star Officials instantly became furious. Right under his watch, Yang Jian was repeatedly injuring others, a direct slap to his face.

Immediately, he took out a green ruler and charged at Yang Jian, closing the hundreds of meters almost instantaneously.

Snap!

The Four Star Official landed a hit on Yang Jian’s back, but Yang Jian merely rocked slightly and twisted his neck, looking back with a cold smirk, "Your strength, is it not a bit too weak?"

No sooner had he spoken than Yang Jian lunged with his blade.

The Four Star Official, still in shock from Yang Jian’s sturdy physique, instinctively used the green ruler in his hand to block. With a clang, sparks flew in all directions, the powerful force pushing the Four Star Official back.

The other Star Officials charged one after another, intending to surround and annihilate Yang Jian, but he easily dodged and tackled them one by one.

Afar, Qin Jun watched Yang Jian’s dominating presence with immense excitement.

Summoning Yang Jian was truly worth it!

Even weakened, he was still so dominant!

Jin Chanzi, too, was marveling at Yang Jian’s divine might, while Xuan Qing was utterly dumbfounded.

He was no fool, and could tell at a glance that the nine Star Officials were likely powerful figures behind the Heavenly Convention, yet they were all restrained by one man, Yang Jian.

"Is the Southern Domain really that strong? And how did he get in here?"

Xuan Qing’s heart was a tumultuous sea, with deep regret seeping into his marrow. He should never have provoked Qin Jun.
