The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 526: Dominating the Endless Territory

Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Dominating the Endless Territory

Boom—

The earth constantly trembled, and the wild winds it lifted were like successive waves, sweeping through the entire world.

While the strong light had not yet dissipated, Qin Jun, whose hearing had rapidly recovered, could faintly make out the sounds of punches and kicks colliding, as well as the clang of weapons. It seemed Erlang Shen’s move hadn’t instantly killed the Night Emperor.

Upon closing the distance, one could see the Night Emperor and Erlang Shen fighting furiously. Their figures darted through the dusty air, clashing weapons every time they appeared, while the lightning in the sky streaked down like whips of light, not affecting them in the slightest.

"Hahaha! You’re strong! You excite me greatly!"

Erlang Shen shouted excitedly, and the power with which he swung his Tri-point Double-edged Sword grew even stronger, much to the Night Emperor’s chagrin.

Although the Night Emperor was not exactly a practitioner specializing in physical strength, he relied on his racial talents, and his physical body was rarely matched by others in the same realm. Erlang Shen was different; with a sanctified body, he didn’t need to rely on spells or Divine Powers and could roam the Mysterious Immortal Realm of Taiyi with just his physical body.

"Dammit! Where did this Erlang come from?"

The Night Emperor fumed internally. He had never heard of Erlang Shen before. As a peak existence in the Mysterious Immortal Realm, he could preserve his life even facing Daluo Realm powerhouses, but he had encountered Erlang Shen.

Even though Erlang Shen was a minor realm below him, he fought like a Daluo Realm powerhouse, pressing the Night Emperor to the point where he was gasping for breath.

He knew that if this continued, he would certainly be the one to die.

Erlang Shen grew stronger as the battle waged on, as if his mana was infinite and his strength inexhaustible.

Just as the Night Emperor grew anxious, Erlang Shen’s body suddenly shuddered, and a more terrible force burst forth. The power materialized into a white glowing shield that enveloped him.

"Die for me!"

Erlang Shen sneered as he brought his sword crashing down. Whenever he encountered an equal match, he would become frenzied, with every cell in his body burning.

The Night Emperor’s hair stood on end, and he instinctively raised his purple crystal staff to block. The unstoppable Tri-point Double-edged Sword came smashing down with a thunderous clang, and the Night Emperor spat blood as he plummeted to the ground.

With that full-strength strike, even Mount Tai could be split by Erlang Shen’s sword. The fact that the Night Emperor wasn’t blasted to pieces on the spot was a testament to the incredible strength of his physique.

The Night Emperor’s body, like a cannonball, created a large round hole in the thick dust, and the shockwave formed ring-like currents like blades of wind. Under the stunned gaze of Qin Jun and the others, the Night Emperor crashed into the forest like a meteor.

The already razed ground was once again covered by dust rising hundreds of feet high, like a sandstorm sweeping in every direction.

Under the vast sky, the once vibrant forest had turned desolate and barren, and even the mountains that resembled pillars of heaven became rubble, falling ceaselessly like rain.

"Gulp..."

Zhu Bajie swallowed hard, staring dumbfounded at the scene before him, the remnant killing aura in the air involuntarily reminding him of the time when Sun Wukong wreaked Havoc in Heaven.

On their journey westward, Sun Wukong, except when facing the Six-Eared Macaque, always held back his full power, summoning reinforcements when possible, to let the masters of those demons clean up their own messes. Erlang Shen did the same, sparing the Jade Emperor his true strength except when capturing Sun Wukong.

Now witnessing Erlang Shen’s true power, Zhu Bajie was astounded.

Jin Chanzi was no less shaken than he, but unlike Zhu Bajie, he did not show it outwardly. Taking a deep breath, he murmured, "What an Erlang Shen!"

The Nine-headed Insect clenched his fists even tighter, his eyes ablaze with indignant fury.

"Why would someone so formidable listen to you?" Liu Ruolai exclaimed, looking toward the figure in the distance that resembled a deity, her heart filled with endless emotion.

Such a being as Erlang Shen was without fault.

She had never imagined she would be so close to a god.

Qin Jun haughtily replied, "Because I am an Emperor born with the Mandate of Heaven, destined to bend even the mighty to their knees!"

"Pfft!"

Liu Ruolai didn’t believe a word Qin Jun said. She wasn’t going to guess that some formidable entity was backing Qin Jun.

Otherwise, relying solely on his own strength, she estimated Qin Jun wouldn’t even qualify to touch Erlang Shen.

Levels of strength form hierarchies among different circles, just like how energy refining cultivators have never heard of the existence of Earth Immortal Realm cultivators.

Energy refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Elixir, Ascending Mortal, Transformation into the Void, Earth Immortal, Celestial Immortal, True Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Taiyi Hermit Immortal, Taiyi Mysterious Immortal!

From low to high, the hierarchy is strict; it’s not just a matter of strength, but status as well.

"You are indeed very strong, befitting the identity of the boundless domain’s overlord!"

Yang Jian’s voice came through, making even Qin Jun involuntarily give a thumbs up, bragging as naturally as the wind.

With the Night Emperor’s arrogance, he would certainly be infuriated by these words.

Are you praising me, or praising yourself?

Dust billowed, yet the Night Emperor did not rise into the air again.

In contrast, Yang Jian stood high, looking down on the earth with an arrogant smile on his face, delighting most in the feeling of trampling his enemies.

The battle was thrilling and the outcome, utterly gratifying.

This is what battle is, the romance of men!

"Beat the downed dog, don’t let him find a chance to flee!" Qin Jun reminded, as he certainly didn’t want to give the Night Emperor a chance to make a comeback.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian nodded and then rushed down, his speed so fast that it created bursts of sonic booms.

Diting exclaimed, "Erlang Shen is after all, Erlang Shen."

In the world, there is only one Yang Jian, only one Erlang Shen!

Even if the Jade Emperor disliked Yang Jian, he had no choice but to grant him a high position, to fight for himself across the Three Realms.

"Hiss—quick, run! The Night Emperor has been defeated!"

"Oh my god, the Night Emperor has actually been defeated, there’s going to be a change of power in the boundless domain!"

"Erlang Shen is too strong! He truly is a god!"

"It’s all over..."

From a distance, the demon beasts were shrieking and scattering in the midst of the chaos; the Night Emperor had been almost entirely suppressed by Yang Jian during the fight, and now his life hung in the balance. The demon beasts weren’t fools; in such a situation, preserving their lives was of utmost importance.

Qin Jun sat atop Diting, savoring the pleasure of victory. Although he wasn’t the one who fought the battle, Yang Jian represented him, and as the superior, he was naturally pleased.

At the same time, suddenly a daring thought sprouted in his mind.

That was to dominate the boundless domain!

The vastness of the boundless domain was even not inferior to the Southern Domain.

The combat power of the demon beasts here generally surpassed that of the Southern Domain, akin to a juicy piece of meat; how could he let go of it?

His gaze then turned to the Nine-headed Insect.

Among the team, the only one belonging to the Demon Clan was the Nine-headed Insect, and its strength was second only to Yang Jian.

Especially seeing the gritted teeth and resentful expression of the Nine-headed Insect, he felt it even more necessary to keep the Nine-headed Insect separate from Yang Jian, lest this fellow’s psyche be twisted by being constantly suppressed by Yang Jian.

At that moment, Yang Jian suddenly flew towards Qin Jun, holding the Night Emperor in his hand. The Night Emperor was covered in dust and his face was full of blood, looking utterly disheveled compared to his previous domineering stance.

"Your Majesty, this guy wants to surrender!"

Yang Jian approached Qin Jun with a smile. In his hands, the Night Emperor was immobilized, barely able to open his eyes to look at Qin Jun.

A ruler of the Demon Clan reduced to such a plight, it was lamentable and pathetic.
