Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Omnipotent [Fourth Update]

On the other side, Qin Jun and his two companions had flown hundreds of miles away.

Sitting upon the clouds, Zhu Bajie persistently pestered Qin Jun, asking how he managed to master the 36 Heavenly Transformations.

"Heavenly Marshal Tianpeng taught me," Qin Jun said with an eye-roll.

The nerve of this pig, thinking he could possibly comprehend?

Zhu Bajie’s mouth twitched, thinking Qin Jun was mocking him. Back when he was still the Heavenly Marshal Tianpeng, he would constantly boast about the 36 Heavenly Transformations as if afraid others wouldn’t know of it, which led him to believe that Qin Jun was making fun of him.

"Really, it’s a complex story, but my mastery of the 36 Heavenly Transformations did indeed come from you," Qin Jun said with a smile. How could he pass up the chance to show off?

Zhu Bajie listened with a sense of amazement yet confusion, which in the 21st-century vernacular of Huaxia on Earth would be described as ’impressive yet incomprehensible.’

Liu Ruolai couldn’t help but coquettishly plead with Qin Jun, "Could you teach me that, the 36 Heavenly Transformations you mention?"

Qin Jun gave her another roll of the eyes, and said irritably, "And you are who exactly, to deserve being taught?"

Liu Ruolai was so angered she nearly fainted. Just a refusal would have been enough, was there a need to be so fierce?

Zhu Bajie also thought quietly to himself, ah, if he only knew how to cherish and respect the opposite sex, it would be so much better if he let this old pig take over.

Although Zhu Bajie was lecherous, he knew who not to lay a hand on, so he could only look on in envy.

Back in Gao’s Manor, he had first transformed into a human and fallen in love with Miss Gao before revealing his true form. In a sense, he did have his principles, and even respected love.

Of course, a bigger reason was his fear of Qin Jun, and his fear of Sun Wukong.

"By the way, do you guys know where we’re heading? Are we close to any towns?"

Qin Jun suddenly asked, as all around were just mountains and forests. Even when he extended his Divine Consciousness to its limits, he couldn’t find any towns.

This could easily lead to getting lost.

Zhu Bajie shook his head; he had woken up in an endless realm with no sense of direction.

Liu Ruolai, having left Wild Willow City for the first time, was completely lost.

A spasm crossed Qin Jun’s mouth, and he suddenly regretted sending Zhong Kui away.

Even if he wanted to summon Black and White Impermanence and Ox-Head and Horse-Face, it wouldn’t work due to the distance between realms; the underworld was too far apart.

All Qin Jun could do now was to fly blindly, hoping to make his way out of the endless region.

Time swiftly passed by.

It soon grew dark.

Qin Jun and the others landed in a forest, where Zhu Bajie rapidly chopped some firewood. With a casual flick of his hand, Qin Jun ignited the Samadhi Real Fire on the wood, instantly illuminating the forest with firelight.

"Samadhi Real Fire?" Zhu Bajie exclaimed, feeling as though a billion alpacas were trampling through his heart.

Qin Jun nodded mysteriously, I also know your Monkey Brother’s art of splitting bodies, but I’m afraid it would scare you to death!

For a moment, Qin Jun’s image grew in Zhu Bajie’s heart.

This young Emperor seemed to possess exceptional talents one after another.

Seeing Zhu Bajie so astonished, Liu Ruolai’s curiosity about Qin Jun intensified. His subordinates were all incredibly strong, and his own talents even more eye-opening.

She wished she could dig out Qin Jun’s heart to see how many more abilities he had hidden.

Feeling her gaze, Qin Jun said softly, "Don’t keep staring at me, my charm is like poison, I’m afraid you’ll be poisoned to the bone and unable to extricate yourself."

"Pfft—"

Zhu Bajie, who was drinking water to calm his shock, nearly choked to death, while Liu Ruolai’s mouth twitched as well.

Too shameless!

"You think too highly of yourself, I wouldn’t like someone like you," Liu Ruolai huffed with her arms crossed, though her ear tips were already blushing.

"What kind of person do you think I am?"

"Shameless, without any face!"

"But you haven’t denied my handsomeness!"

"I..."

Liu Ruolai felt so bullied by Qin Jun that she almost cried; her cultivation wasn’t as strong, and neither was her wit - she really wanted to bash her head with a block of tofu.

Oh!

Could this girl have really fallen for me?

Seeing her face turn as red as an apple, Qin Jun couldn’t help but tease himself with the thought.

He wasn’t Daoist Wei and he wasn’t the chaste Liu Xiahui; if he liked someone, he pursued and possessed her. After all, he was the Holy Emperor; not opening a harem would lead people to say he was incapable.

The world would compel him to show his love broadly. Alas, twitching!

Qin Jun stroked his chin, his gaze deep, falling into an emptiness born of invincibility - of course, he wasn’t interested in Liu Ruolai at the moment.

The darkness of the night grew deeper.

Qin Jun began to cultivate, while Liu Ruolai leaned against the tree trunk next to him, fast asleep. Zhu Bajie lay across from them; since he was too ugly, Liu Ruolai dared not get close to him, but was also afraid to sleep alone, so she could only lean near Qin Jun.

Under the black night, the shrill calls of various monsters and the roaring of beasts rose and fell, casting a layer of terror over the world.

Qin Jun was unaffected and focused on his cultivation.

Whoosh—

Just then, a sound caught Qin Jun’s attention, causing him to open his eyes just in time to see something dark like a python swiftly wrapping around Zhu Bajie across from him.

Another such thing appeared, attacking Liu Ruolai.

Qin Jun, quick as lightning, swept Liu Ruolai into his arms and soared into the air.

Zhu Bajie was thick-skinned and tough; Qin Jun didn’t believe for a second that he was just going to keel over.

Just as expected, the groggy Zhu Bajie opened his eyes to find himself being dragged by something.

"What’s going on!"

Zhu Bajie sprang to his feet, shattering the thing that entangled him. It turned out to be a vine as thick as an adult’s thigh.

More and more vines appeared from all directions, seeking to entangle Qin Jun and the others.

Qin Jun, still holding Liu Ruolai, swiftly dodged them, effortlessly evading with the aid of reverse foresight, leaving Liu Ruolai in his arms petrified, yet quickly becoming exhilarated.

"You’re so amazing!"

Liu Ruolai said in admiration, though Qin Jun had no time to pay attention to this silly girl.

"Scram—"

Suddenly, Zhu Bajie bellowed, shaking his arms with fury as his voice boomed; the sound waves shattered the surrounding vines, including those attacking Qin Jun and Liu Ruolai.

With Zhu Bajie deliberately avoiding them, Qin Jun and Liu Ruolai weren’t hurt and quickly landed behind him.

"Now it’s your turn to perform."

Qin Jun whispered, his brows still knit - why had so many vines suddenly attacked?

Was there a beast lurking?

Boom! A loud crash!

Zhu Bajie took out his Nine-Toothed Rake and slammed it into the ground; the soil dispersed in all directions, and the terrible impact scattered the trees, sending dust flying, and the very earth trembled.

The whole scene was like an earthquake had struck, especially in the darkness of the night, filling people with fear and despair.

Liu Ruolai clung tightly to Qin Jun’s arm; at this point, she was beyond caring about propriety between men and women, and Qin Jun didn’t mind either. Instead, he scanned the surroundings, searching for the hidden enemy.

"Hehehe, I didn’t expect to encounter you here. Finding you means I can report back to the Night Emperor!"

A chillingly terrifying voice suddenly reached their ears. Qin Jun looked towards the direction of the sound, only to see a figure suspended in the night sky.

Due to the distance, Qin Jun couldn’t make out his true features.

"The Night Emperor?"

Qin Jun’s frown deepened, not expecting the Night Emperor to act so swiftly.

"Kill him!"

Qin Jun commanded, pointing at the dark silhouette - but Zhu Bajie was already on the same page, hefting his Nine-Toothed Rake and leaping into the fray.
