The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 518: Tree Stepping King

Chapter 518: Chapter 518: Tree Stepping King

Dust rose thousands of meters high, as if to bury the entire earth, it was hard to imagine how strong Yang Jian’s impact was.

Qin Jun’s hands clenched tightly into fists, hoping Yang Jian would not disappoint him.

Yang Jian was not only the trump card against the Luoshu Demon King, but also the blade against the Night Emperor!

The earth trembled violently, and suddenly countless wailing sounds echoed.

"Ah! Save me..."

"Demon... just let me die..."

"Ahhh! Why treat us this way, heaven is unjust!"

The howling cries made Qin Jun and the others’ scalps tingle, especially Liu Ruolai, who hid behind Qin Jun, too scared to peek out.

Qin Jun felt a wrenching pain in his heart, if not for them, the citizens of this city probably wouldn’t have been able to transcend in death, and it’s expected that the Domain Master of the Eastern Flame Domain would also try to suppress the spreading of this event because the Luoshu Demon King was too strong!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

One after another, terrifying tree vines with a diameter of two zhang emerged from the dust, like countless Sea Dragons thrashing about, scaring Qin Jun to ascend again, afraid of being entangled.

"Hmph! Overestimating yourself!"

Yang Jian’s cold shout suddenly sounded, and then his figure started to rise, scattering the dust, and under Liu Ruolai’s disbelieving gaze, Yang Jian’s body soon towered above them, reaching a height of ten thousand zhang, making Qin Jun and the others involuntarily look up in awe.

At ten thousand zhang high, Yang Jian stood towering, bent over, and with a single hand reached down to grab a vine, then yanked it upwards, instantly shaking the earth and the mountains.

"Rise for me!"

Yang Jian bellowed angrily, pulling at the vine with one hand attempting to drag the Luoshu Demon King hidden underground to the surface, his strength as a sage in the flesh terrifying, slowly lifting the Luoshu Demon King from beneath the earth.

This scene made Qin Jun and the others involuntarily swallow.

Qin Jun couldn’t help but ask himself, "Is Yang Jian really just at the late stage of the Mysterious Immortal Realm in terms of combat power?"

"Not only that, Yang Jian, like Sun Wukong, has vast divine powers and a strong physical body, capable of fighting across levels, and at his peak, he can even contend with those from the Daluo Realm!" the system explained.

Daluo Realm!

Qin Jun’s body trembled, in his previous life he had heard about the Daluo Realm in many novels, most often about the Golden Immortal of Daluo.

Moreover, in this world, strong beings of the Daluo Realm could trigger a sacred aura in their offspring, for example, Chen Shuli whom he had encountered earlier, although that guy had poor talent for immortality cultivation, he was endowed with righteousness and was now serving in the Great Qin Heavenly Court, with an official rank that rose at a speed that astounded many officers.

Now hearing that Yang Jian was equivalent to the legendary strong beings of the Daluo Realm, how could Qin Jun not be stirred?

Boom!

Yang Jian pulled the Luoshu Demon King out, and Qin Jun and the others looked down, all drawing a sharp breath.

The Luoshu Demon King was thousands of zhang high, majestic like a god tree at the dawn of creation, its upper body humanoid, indistinguishable between male and female, while its lower half was roots with countless branches. Its arms too became myriad branches, and at a closer glance, corpse after corpse hung from these branches, men, women, old and young, most of them turned into mummies, truly horrifying.

Looking around, there were so many corpses densely packed together it was impossible to count them all, the wailing and howling came from these bodies.

The scene was too ghastly to bear.

Qin Jun watched, grinding his teeth in anger, particularly the desperate and painful expressions of those bodies, it pained him like cutting flesh.

"Damnable demon, too malicious!" Liu Ruolai covered her face with her hands, peeking through her fingers, the scene below was like hell, sending chills down her spine.

Jin Chanzi was even seated on a cloud, continuously chanting sutras.

Zhu Bajie watched, horrified, wanting to help Yang Jian, but the Luoshu Demon King’s aura chilled him to the bone, daring not to make a move.

The Luoshu Demon King spoke, tone chilly, "Dare to disturb my peace, I shall drain your essence and spirit, leaving you unable to live or die!"

As it spoke, dozens of vines like azure dragons attacked Yang Jian, but Yang Jian, standing ten thousand zhang high, towered over the Luoshu Demon King by a good deal, taking out the War God’s Tri-Pointed Cudgel, he smashed down directly.

Boom—

The War God’s Tri-Edge Halberd struck the trunk of the Luoshu Demon King with enormous force, as if it could cleave through mountains and divide seas.

Within a ten-mile radius, the ground and forests instantly collapsed, dirt and dust soaring into the air, threatening to engulf the whole world.

Qin Jun and the others were tossed about in the air by the violent winds, like leaves in a storm, insignificant and fragile in the face of such might.

"Demon spawn, you’ve slaughtered the Human Clan, a crime unforgivable. Today, on behalf of the Supreme Deity, I shall obliterate you!"

Yang Jian opened his third eye, the Evil-Slaying Eye, and at this moment, he once again resumed the posture of the Heaven’s Judicial War God, immensely dignified, striking fear into the hearts of demons.

Qin Jun, ignited with fervor, shouted, "Yang Jian, show no mercy, let it vanish completely!"

"As you command!"

Yang Jian laughed aloud, then, raising the War God’s Tri-Edge Halberd high with one hand, the scene as if frozen in time. Faced with the evil and terrifying Luoshu Demon King, Yang Jian’s figure was like that of a war god.

So much so that cultivators and mystical beasts passing within a hundred-mile radius could see it, their eyes widening with fear.

"Hiss—Who is that? Am I seeing things?"

"Is he a god, how tall is he?"

"That tree demon, could it be the legendary Luoshu Demon King, the greatest demon in the Endless Territories?"

"My heavens! What have we stumbled upon today?"

Although the Endless Territories were dangerous, they were also a paradise for the strong, where they could obtain what they desired and satisfy their thirst for battle.

But upon seeing Yang Jian and the Luoshu Demon King, even the strongest of cultivators trembled with fear, some even feeling an urge to turn and flee.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh...

In the blink of an eye, the Luoshu Demon King quickly tried to bind Yang Jian’s waist and limbs with its vines, but in vain, as it failed to restrain his movements.

With one slash, the entire world seemed to suddenly tremble.

The heavens crumbled and the earth split as if the apocalypse had come!

The War God’s Tri-Edge Halberd struck the head of the Luoshu Demon King, causing it to let out a piercing scream of agony.

So piercing that the Night Emperor, who was speeding through the sky tens of thousands of miles away, came to a halt.

"This is..."

The Night Emperor frowned and muttered to himself, glancing instinctively in the direction of Qin Jun and the others. If he was not mistaken, that was the Luoshu Demon King’s scream he had heard.

He was tempted to fly over and take a look, but he knew the battle was too far away and that the more pressing issue was to deal with the Dongfang Domain Master.

The Dongfang Domain Master had infiltrated the Endless Territories, surely with some nefarious scheme in mind, and he could not ignore it.

"Could it be that another mysterious powerful being has entered the Endless Territories?"

The Night Emperor thought with a headache and then continued flying in his original direction.

Elsewhere, Yang Jian pinned the Luoshu Demon King to the ground, his face full of disdain as he said, "Late stage of the Taiyi Xuan Immortal Realm, your strength is indeed extraordinary, but unfortunately, you have met me!"

Arrogant and domineering!

It seemed he had already forgotten that just yesterday, he was still at the peak of the Taiyi Scattered Immortal Realm.

"Who... Who exactly are you!"

The Luoshu Demon King shrieked, causing Qin Jun to break out in goosebumps.

The demon’s voice sounded like tens of thousands of people were shouting and screaming at once, making it unsettling to hear.
