Chapter 543: Chapter 543: The Saint Emperor’s Awakening

Accompanied by the flickering light, Qin Jun lifted the red cloth only to see a beating red heart appear before his eyes, the very Ferocious Dragon’s Heart.

There wasn’t a single drop of blood on the surface of the Ferocious Dragon’s Heart; rather, it was crystal clear. It was about the size of a human head, beating incessantly as if it contained life itself, astonishingly.

Such a large Ferocious Dragon’s Heart was naturally not meant for oral consumption.

Qin Jun sat cross-legged on the ground, gesturing with both hands, he drew the Ferocious Dragon’s Heart to rest above his legs through the air. He circulated the immortal body technique and used his hands to draw the energy contained within the Ferocious Dragon’s Heart.

In an instant, he felt an overwhelmingly vast energy enter his body, making his bones and muscles feel as if they were exploding.

Whoosh—

Invisible spiritual energy surged towards Qin Jun, raising gusts of wind so strong that fortunately, most of the villagers had already fallen asleep.

The few on guard duty, leaning against tree trunks, nodded off like woodpeckers, nearly asleep. They did not notice anything amiss.

Qin Jun focused on cultivating, his mind transcendentally detached from worldly matters, as if there was a towering giant running in his mind.

Time silently slipped away.

...

The first ray of morning light skimmed over the horizon, sweeping across the shore, brushing the trees, and bringing light.

Whoosh—

The sea suddenly split open, water spraying into the air, sparkling, and following that, a gigantic sea serpent burst forth, with many other demonic beasts emerging from the water behind it, their numbers incalculable, their species beyond counting.

"Today’s target is to devour all of the Human Clan villages within fifty miles!"

A chilling voice sounded, revealing a man clad in black armor standing on a giant clam shell, swiftly gliding over the sea’s surface. He held a Trident in his hand and beneath his helmet was a pitch-black face without a nose, his mouth filled with sharp fangs, utterly terrifying.

"Yes!"

The demonic beasts chorused in response and then swiftly made for the shore, scaling it quickly, causing the trees at the edge to shake violently.

The commotion also put the villagers in the woods on high alert.

The first to notice were a hunting party in the woods, feeling the ground shake violently along with the intimidating demon energy. They looked at each other, seeing the panic in each other’s eyes.

"Could it be a herd of Rock Deer?" A hunter asked, trembling.

Rock Deer stood ten feet tall and weighed over a thousand pounds; their stampeding was capable of creating such a commotion.

"Rock Deer haven’t appeared for years; it can’t be!" Another hunter shook his head, but they had no cultivation and couldn’t tell that the tide of beasts was quickly approaching.

"Retreat first!"

The lead hunter spoke gravely, knowing such a horde, if it struck the village, would cause unimaginable tragedy.

The group quickly retreated.

Meanwhile, inside the wooden house, Qin Jun, who was absorbing the Ferocious Dragon’s Heart, also sensed countless demon energies rapidly approaching.

He opened his eyes, murmuring to himself, "A sixth-order demonic beast leading the pack, at least a hundred thousand demonic beasts, this is quite the move."

The villagers by the sea were almost all mortals, with only a few who possessed cultivation. The strongest person in this small village was merely at the Foundation Establishment level and would be completely incapable of making any impact against this wave of beasts.

Shouxin had, after all, saved his life once, and he owed a debt of gratitude.

With that thought, he slowly stored the Ferocious Dragon’s Heart back into mythical space, then took out the Seven Star Sword.

Blowing along the blade, Qin Jun held it in his hand and murmured, "Green Fox King, revenge begins now!"

He seemed to understand why the Green Fox King hated him so much; perhaps it was because Qin Jun had tormented him ten thousand years ago.

And later, the Green Fox King tormented Qin Jun in return, causing him to accidentally enter the time and space of ten thousand years ago. The cycle of cause and effect had become unclear, with no discernible beginning...

But Qin Jun understood his current feelings.

Fuck!

The Green Fox King must die!

Every time he thought about the expression the Green Fox King had when he lifted him into the air, Qin Jun couldn’t contain his rage.

"I will become your eternal nightmare!"

Qin Jun spoke coldly, his expression ice-cold.

At that moment, Ji Yongsheng suddenly lamented, "The Wheel of Fate is a device of cause and effect, and anyone who obtains it may go against the Heavenly Dao, but owing too much to karma can lead one to an irrevocable doom."

Qin Jun scoffed, "I’m not you, I will become the strongest, and rule over the Heavenly Dao!"

Boom—

Suddenly, a thunderbolt from a clear sky startled Qin Jun, "Holy shit, did the Heavenly Dao hear that?"

At the same time, the village descended into chaos.

"Everyone run, demonic beasts are attacking!"

A middle-aged man in animal skins shouted urgently from atop a tree trunk. He was the only Foundation Establishment cultivator in the village. He could feel the countless terrifying demon energies approaching, which filled him with panic and dread.

Shouxin and Qingtian also ran out of their respective houses. Upon hearing the chief’s shout, they became instantly panic-stricken.

"No, Bianhai is still inside."

Shouxin turned and ran toward the wooden house where Qin Jun was, followed by Qingtian, clenching her teeth.

In this critical moment of life and death, they could still think of Qin Jun, showing how pure the hearts of the two children were.

"Rumble—"

Just then, a Sea Python with a diameter of three meters burst through the forest, knocking down a swath of trees. Its body was covered in dark blue scales, its tongue flicked in and out, and its cold serpentine eyes chilled the villagers to the core.

One by one, the sea tribe demonic beasts rushed out from behind the Sea Python, causing Shouxin and Qingtian to freeze in place, the terrifying demon energy falling upon them, making it hard to breathe, let alone move their feet.

"This..."

Qingtian’s voice trembled, filled with despair.

Especially upon seeing the colossal Sea Python, he could not muster a hint of resistance.

"Run!"

The distant village chief urgently called out, but he dared not carelessly run over, for that would be certain death.

Against so many demonic beasts, a single Foundation Establishment cultivator would be utterly useless.

"It’s over..."

Qingtian murmured in despair, and Shouxin also looked fearfully at the Sea Python.

However, the Sea Python suddenly charged at them, frightening them into unleashing their last reserves of strength and turning to flee.

Just as Shouxin turned, she fell into a warm embrace, a familiar yet strange voice reaching her ears, "Don’t be afraid."

She looked up instinctively and saw that it was Qin Jun.

Now, Qin Jun’s face was adorned with a defiant smile. After cleaning himself up, he no longer looked as wretched as the night before. His handsome face with its arched eyebrows and slightly upturned corners of his mouth seemed to mock all living beings.

Even the Sea Python stopped in its place, its body trembling, clearly not from its own volition but because it was locked in place by Qin Jun’s murderous intent.

Qingtian stared blankly at Qin Jun, hardly believing that this spirited young man was the Bianhai they had rescued.

He was a completely different person!

"A bunch of crawlers dare to commit atrocities in front of me!"

Qin Jun laughed coldly and swung his sword, directly employing the Divine Power of heaven-splitting.

Boom—

Invisible Sword Energy struck the Sea Python and the other demonic beasts, causing their bodies to burst apart, flesh and blood flying, and the trees behind them fell apart into countless leaves and splinters.

The sight was spectacular, leaving the villagers speechless in astonishment.
