Chapter 519: Chapter 519 Heavenly Dao’s Grace (Third Update)

"I am Erlang Shen, Manifesting Saint of the True Divine, under the Holy Emperor of Qin!"

Yang Jian stood tall and laughed heartily, his voice like thunder, carrying far and wide, making adventurers in the distance exchange bewildered looks, even the Night Emperor, in a far-off place, faintly heard it.

Under the Holy Emperor, Erlang Shen?

Who is this Holy Emperor?

And what divine presence is Erlang Shen?

The Night Emperor furrowed his brows; he had not yet heard of the title Holy Emperor of Qin, and even if he had, he wouldn’t link the two together.

One is a prodigy, and the other a top-notch powerhouse; their levels are entirely different!

"Holy Emperor? Are you referring to yourself?"

Liu Ruolai asked Qin Jun curiously, her first thought being of the Holy Emperor of Qin, whose defeat of Dongfang Ji had made him explosively famous among the younger generation.

The once invincible young king of the Eastern Flame Domain, who could even fight across ranks, had been beaten by a peer, something she would not have dared to imagine before.

Indeed, there are always greater people in the world!

"What does it have to do with you?" Qin Jun asked irritably, thinking to himself that revealing his title would surely scare her to death!

Hearing this, Liu Ruolai, fueled by anger and the safety provided by Yang Jian, lunged at Qin Jun with bared teeth and claws.

Qin Jun forcefully embraced her, whispering in her ear, "Stop messing around!"

The heat of his breath on her earlobe made her flush red instantly, her delicate face revealing a hint of shyness that would surely stun her father if he saw.

Unaware of her reaction, Qin Jun continued to hold Liu Ruolai as they looked down.

The Luoshu Demon King was still struggling, countless vines frantically trying to entangle Yang Jian, who intermittently used his Evil-vanquishing Divine Eye to shoot and destroy these vines, causing the Luoshu Demon King to scream endlessly in pain.

Jin Chanzi continued to recite scriptures, and Qin Jun noticed that some bodies hanging from the Luoshu Demon King began to emit light and shadows; upon closer inspection, they resembled human forms, likely souls.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha, the grudge of all beings, reincarnation in a hundred forms..."

In this moment, Jin Chanzi radiated great compassion and Buddhist nature, attracting all the souls to him, a sight that made Liu Ruolai and Qin Jun widen their eyes in astonishment.

Qin Jun seemed to see the visage of the Tang Monk; seriously, Jin Chanzi did look quite handsome, especially with that compassionate nature that inspired people’s respect.

Zhu Bajie scratched his head, suddenly realizing he was of no help at all.

It was quite a blow to his ego.

He had only sworn allegiance to Qin Jun a few days ago and had not yet had the chance to show off properly.

Yang Jian’s blades struck down repeatedly, but the Luoshu Demon King possessed tremendous vitality and unbelievably tough flesh, recovering rapidly even after Yang Jian split its upper body in two.

It was then that Yang Jian truly understood the terror of the Luoshu Demon King.

The Night Emperor could defeat the Luoshu Demon King, but killing it was difficult; the reason lay here.

"I refuse to accept this!"

Suddenly, Yang Jian transformed into a streak of golden light and escaped, freeing himself from the Luoshu Demon King’s restraints.

The next second, Yang Jian, resuming his true form, hovered high in the air, holding the Battle God’s Tri-pointed Halberd high above.

The Divine Power of Mountains Crumbling and Earth Splitting!

In an instant, his tri-pointed halberd burst with a blinding strong light, shining like the sun, too dazzling to look at directly.

Shocked, Qin Jun quickly soared through the clouds to create distance.

He had witnessed Yang Jian’s divine power more than once. Even when he was just in the Scattered Immortal Realm, he was incredibly strong, so how terrifying must it be now that he is comparable to the Daluo Realm in his current state?

"Demonic creature! Meet your demise!"

Yang Jian’s voice seemed to pierce the heavens, and then he transformed into an unstoppable long rainbow, striking straight towards the Luoshu Demon King.

Qin Jun tensed every muscle in his body, holding Liu Ruolai so close that her body was pressed against his. Liu Ruolai’s face turned crimson instantly; from this position, her chest was fully pressed up against Qin Jun’s body, and she couldn’t even raise her hands to block because Qin Jun’s strength was too great.

However, at this moment, Qin Jun was completely immersed in Yang Jian’s elegance and did not notice this scene.

Even if he had noticed, he would pretend that he had not.

"You jerk..."

Liu Ruolai murmured under her breath, her voice filled with endless shyness. Under the strong light, her delicate face appeared nearly perfect, its youthful air entirely obscured.

Boom!

Like a spark hitting the earth, Yang Jian’s blade struck the Luoshu Demon King’s head. Although he did not possess a gigantic form at this moment, the aura he exuded was even stronger, causing heaven and earth to tremble.

"Ahhh! How is this possible! Impossible..."

The Luoshu Demon King screamed in despair, its voice utterly piercing, while the myriad corpses hanging from its body also started screaming and cursing. They didn’t hate Yang Jian, but the Luoshu Demon King instead; even if they were to hide in the Netherworld, they would not forget this hatred.

The ground shook fiercely as the area surrounding the Luoshu Demon King overturned, with trees and soil flying into the air, and the dust raised created ring-shaped air flows, like Sea Dragons spiraling in the sky, a breathtaking sight to behold.

The terrifying roar made Qin Jun and Liu Ruolai temporarily deaf, and in their eyes, the land visibly turned into ruins at a frightening pace.

Qin Jun swallowed hard; was this the power of someone nearly at the Daluo Realm? Even from several miles away, he felt he could be reduced to ashes at any moment.

The Luoshu Demon King was still screaming, but Qin Jun and the others could no longer see its form, submerged in the strong light and dust.

"My goodness, so powerful..." Zhu Bajie clicked his tongue. Having revered Yang Jian even before becoming the Cleansing Altar Envoy, and even after receiving the enlightenment of Buddhism, the gap between him and Yang Jian remained vast.

Indeed, he is the foremost general under the Jade Emperor!

After a while.

Everything returned to calm, yet the vast dust in the air was reluctant to settle. One by one, souls slowly drifted out of the dust, clearly those tormented by the Luoshu Demon King.

Now, their expressions were no longer full of rancor and despair but smiles. Many souls were grouped together, parents leading their children, as sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell on them, making them appear like angels.

Liu Ruolai looked up at this scene, her face full of shock and longing.

It turns out that after death, not all are frightening Fierce Ghosts; they can be as beautiful and warm as this.

"Ding! Side mission completed— ’Exterminate Evil for Heaven’! Obtained the grace of the Heavenly Dao and an opportunity for a ’God and Demon’ summoning!"

The system notification suddenly rang, pulling Qin Jun out of his trance.

What is the grace of the Heavenly Dao?

As he wondered about it, a sacred radiance descended from the sky onto Qin Jun with such speed that even Jin Chanzi and Zhu Bajie had no time to react, while Liu Ruolai was pushed aside.

Warmth!

Comfort!

This was what Qin Jun felt at that moment. He looked around in confusion at the surrounding brilliance, as an inscrutable and mysterious power poured into his body, giving him the sensation of qi movement refining his body.

In an instant, he felt the mana within his body surge rapidly, and even his Ziwei Emperor Star Dao Fruit began to spin at high velocity, making him feel as if he was floating, about to ascend to immortality.
