Chapter 520: Chapter 520: Protagonist of Heaven and Earth【Fourth Update】

Boom!

A burst of purple light suddenly erupted from Qin Jun, astonishing Jin Chanzi, Zhu Bajie, and Liu Ruolai as they looked towards him in wonder.

Qin Jun’s momentum climbed steadily, his clothes fluttering with a whistling sound.

"What Dao fruit is this!"

Jin Chanzi’s eyes widened as he exclaimed in shock, while Zhu Bajie extended his Divine Consciousness and was so scared he nearly wet himself, tremblingly saying, "Could it be the legendary Ziwei..."

Qin Jun, however, was immersed in a profound and mysterious comprehension.

Although the Luoshu Demon King was killed by Yang Jian, due to the cycle of karma and reincarnation, had it not been for Qin Jun’s suggestion to execute the Luoshu Demon King and then help Yang Jian enhance his cultivation, how would the Luoshu Demon King have been removed?

Indeed, Yang Jian played a significant role, but the part Qin Jun played and the impetus he provided were crucial.

Therefore, the Heavenly Dao granted its divine beneficence and tempered Qin Jun.

"Thank you all the immortals for rescuing us!"

"Thank you, if it weren’t for you, we probably would never transcend this existence..."

"Thank you, elder brothers and sisters."

"If there is another life, we will repay this kindness."

The souls ascending towards Cangqiong each expressed their gratitude to Qin Jun and the others.

Zhu Bajie, with hands on hips, laughed and said, "In the next life, remember to follow the Holy Emperor, and it’s a deal!"

His words were but a joke, for once they entered the Netherworld and memories were washed away, how could these souls remember them in their next lives?

Yang Jian appeared beside Qin Jun in a flash. Seeing Qin Jun enveloped in the glorious light and purple mist, he was momentarily dumbfounded, then he blurted out, "The Dao fruit of the Ziwei Emperor Star!"

Having said it himself, both Jin Chanzi and Zhu Bajie widened their eyes.

It was indeed the Dao fruit of the Ziwei Emperor Star!

In their minds, only a handful of prodigious figures in heaven and earth had ever comprehended the Dao fruit of the Ziwei Emperor Star, including the Demon Emperor from the Primordial Chaos era, as well as Xuanyuan, the Human Emperor of the Human Clan.

They had not expected Qin Jun to be such an existence!

"This is a top-grade Dao fruit..." Zhu Bajie smacked his lips and said.

A top-grade Dao fruit, the highest level of Dao fruit, could only be realized by those who ride the qi movement of heaven and earth or by defiantly talented members of the Demon Clan.

Liu Ruolai, listening in utter confusion, wondered what a Dao fruit was and what the Ziwei Emperor Star was all about.

At this moment, Qin Jun plunged into that profound and arcane comprehension.

It is said in ancient texts that the Heavenly Dao is not benevolent, treating all spirits with absolute fairness and absolute indifference.

However, now Qin Jun finally understood what it meant that the Great Dao has three thousand paths, leaving a glimmer of hope.

The control that the Heavenly Dao exercised over the world had its own bottom line and balance. It could tolerate the struggle of all things, survival of the fittest, but the Human Clan, as the present major qi movement clan and protagonist of heaven and earth, had its spirit and will directly controlled by heaven and earth, and the Heavenly Dao would not allow other races to slaughter the Human Clan, especially when there was a vast disparity in strength.

But the Heavenly Dao was fair; it wouldn’t intervene personally, only rewarding those who helped it, thereby encouraging the Human Clan to act on the virtues of the Righteous Dao.

If Human Clan powerhouses slaughtered the Demon Clan, even if they were killed, they wouldn’t receive the Heavenly Dao’s divine beneficence.

It sounded very unfair, but what could the Demon Clan do?

Qin Jun speculated that perhaps it was because long ago, when the Demon Clan held the role of protagonist of heaven and earth, they had defied the Heavenly Dao, which is why the Heavenly Dao was so repulsed.

Under the divine beneficence of the Heavenly Dao, his own qi movement began to surge, and his cultivation likewise.

Even his comprehension of the Dao fruit of the Ziwei Emperor Star deepened. It was an indescribable feeling that made him feel exhilarated to the extreme.

But he had no intention of being grateful to the Heavenly Dao, for one day he might become powerful enough to contend with the Heavenly Dao.

Countless souls of the Human Clan rose from the dust, flying towards the bright sun. They were not Fierce Ghosts or wronged spirits, and thus wouldn’t be scorched by the sunlight but would instead be purified.

As they vanished, they would appear in the underworld, where in their next lives the Heavenly Dao would compensate them by ensuring they were born into great wealth or as healthy infants.

Boom!

After approximately half an incense stick of time had passed, Qin Jun achieved a breakthrough!

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for breaking through to the fourth layer of the Earth Immortal Realm!"

Having heard the system prompt, Qin Jun felt even more exhilarated.

Before the Heavenly Convention, he had just broken through to the Earth Immortal Realm, and now he had reached the fourth layer. Accounting for the time that had passed, it was at most a month. Such a breakthrough speed, if word got out, would scare a good number of people to death.

The grace of the Heavenly Dao began to dissipate, and the purple mist surrounding Qin Jun started to fade away as well.

Although his understanding of the fruit of the Ziwei Emperor Star had deepened, he had yet to make a substantial breakthrough, still clueless about how to wield it.

But the power of a first-grade Dao fruit was terrifying, with the born mana far surpassing that of cultivators at the same level in both quantity and strength.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on your breakthrough!" Yang Jian said with a smile as he clasped his hands together, admiration filling his eyes.

Anyone recognized by the fruit of the Ziwei Emperor Star will undoubtedly shake the earth and sky in the future!

Surpassing him was just a matter of time.

What was most crucial was Qin Jun’s ability to help him recover his memories and peak cultivation from his past life, which filled him with immense awe.

Assessing Qin Jun, he suddenly felt as if Qin Jun were shrouded in a dense fog, utterly inscrutable.

Jin Chanzi and Zhu Bajie also offered their congratulations. Although Liu Ruolai didn’t understand, she imitated the others and congratulated Qin Jun in a playful and adorable manner.

"It’s nothing, just a small breakthrough."

Qin Jun said with a dismissive wave, turning his gaze toward the several hundred thousand souls fluttering in the sky, his heart full of wonder.

Indeed, doing good deeds brings good karma.

He hoped that these people would not suffer such calamities in their next life.

Liu Ruolai, looking at the side of Qin Jun’s face and seeing the hope on it, felt strangely moved.

The sunlight draping over Qin Jun gave him an almost divine aura.

The dust below gradually dissipated as well.

Looking down from above, within a radius of ten miles, the ground was leveled, with no trees, only overturned soil—an extraordinarily grand scene that shook the hearts of those who saw it.

It was hard to imagine what apocalyptic scene would unfold if Yang Jian’s strike had been directed toward a city of the Human Clan.

Jin Chanzi and Zhu Bajie became even more wary of Yang Jian.

Qin Jun laughed and said, "Next, we should go find the Night Emperor!"

The Night Emperor!

Yang Jian’s eyes narrowed; he had already heard from Jin Chanzi about Qin Jun’s goal, which was to eliminate the Night Emperor.

Although he was still unclear about the feud between Qin Jun and the Night Emperor, as long as Qin Jun commanded, he would act. Such was the embodiment of absolute loyalty.

Moreover, the Night Emperor was the ruler of an endless territory.

Even within the God Temple, he was among the minority of mighty beings.

Qin Jun had Zhu Bajie speed through the clouds, while he sat cross-legged on a cloud, thinking, "System, begin summoning God and Demon!"

He still had the opportunity to summon the God and Demon army and had saved it for later use, reasoning that summoning a massive army would be inconvenient for traveling.

He also had the chance to use a God and Demon instance as well as a single skill inheritance.

These weren’t of much help to him at the moment; he would need to find an auspicious time for their utilization.

"Ding! Initiating random summoning of God and Demon!"

The delightful system prompt made Qin Jun hum a tune, which caught the curious Liu Ruolai’s attention. She thought, "Eh? What’s this tune he’s humming? It sounds so pleasant..."

With Qin Jun’s current cultivation, he could summon a God and Demon at most up to the peak of the Scattered Immortal Realm, but now he had activated the system’s peak God and Demon feature.

So he began to wildly imagine those overwhelmingly powerful beings.

Like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Twelve Ancestral Witches!

Zhao Gongming, Wen Zhong, Her Highness Sanxiao, Immortal Zhenyuan, Xing Tian, Chi You and the like, any one of them!
