Chapter 555: Chapter 555: The Decisive Battle Approaches

"I need pills and spirit stones, as many as possible—my cultivation method can absorb them in a short amount of time!"

Qin Jun said with a beaming smile, and to prevent Dongfang Ao from becoming suspicious, he deliberately used his cultivation method as an excuse.

Even though this might arouse Dongfang Ao’s greed.

Dongfang Ao nodded, waved his right hand, and four storage rings remained on the table before he disappeared from the spot.

The Eastern Flame Domain was much wealthier than the Southern Domain, and the resources at Dongfang Ao’s disposal were beyond Qin Jun’s imagination; besides, Dongfang Ao’s generosity was intended to make Qin Jun cough them up afterwards.

After Dongfang Ao left, Qin Jun picked up the four storage rings from the table to examine them and was instantly filled with joy.

The number of spirit stones inside was even greater than what he had spent at the Iron Academy auction, five times more, in fact!

As for the pills, they were all Spiritual Energy Pills to aid in cultivation; while they were not of much use to him, he could leave them to Iron Qingtian and Shouxin.

"Sorry, but a thousand years later, your youngest son offended me—karma comes full circle."

Qin Jun held the four storage rings tightly and muttered to himself, feeling no gratitude towards Dongfang Ao; the murderous intent in Dongfang Ao’s eyes was something he could feel.

He understood that Dongfang Ao would turn on him after the fact.

If Qin Jun won the decisive battle in two days, his reputation would surely skyrocket, perhaps even surpassing the Domain Lord; with the Demon Clan’s forces invading and the Domain Lord’s silence already having chilled countless hearts, the rise of Qin Jun gave people hope.

With one call to action from Qin Jun, the rule over the Eastern Flame Domain might change hands; of course, that was provided Qin Jun could muster the power to hold Dongfang Ao in check.

"Wait, if I defeat the Green Fox King and don’t return to a thousand years later, only to be killed by Dongfang Ao..."

Qin Jun suddenly contemplated a possibility, causing goosebumps to form all over.

According to what Liu Ruolai said, Bianhai mysteriously disappeared after the decisive battle with the Green Fox King, but it wasn’t specified how.

It couldn’t be ruled out that Bianhai was killed by Dongfang Ao.

Just the thought cast a shadow over Qin Jun’s heart.

"Don’t overthink it; the Wheel of Fate’s protection is very strong, and after such a long time, the Wheel of Fate can be activated again," Ji Yongsheng’s words calmed Qin Jun’s uneasy heart.

Overthinking it would only affect the decisive battle in two days.

...

The two days passed quickly.

News of the decisive battle between Bianhai and the Green Fox King had spread throughout the entire Eastern Flame Domain, with many people already gathering by the seaside to witness this battle that would determine the fate of the Eastern Flame Domain.

The Endless Territories.

Within a cave, the young Night Emperor was healing his wounds after a defeating battle against the Luoshu Demon King. In front of him stood a rat demon, reporting the latest major events from the Eastern Flame Domain.

"The Human Clan’s Bianhai and the Green Fox King have agreed to a decisive battle. Should Bianhai win, the Green Fox King will not attack the Eastern Flame Domain for a thousand years."

The rat demon spoke cautiously, secretly sighing over the Night Emperor’s obsession, daring to challenge the Luoshu Demon King, and wondering whether following the Night Emperor was the right path.

"Bianhai? Quite a figure, daring to fight the Green Fox King and not afraid of offending the Demon Ancestor," the Night Emperor said laughingly without even opening his eyes, his tone filled with sarcasm.

In his view, Bianhai was just a foolish youngster, ignorant of the world.

Such people were doomed to a tragic end.

Little did he know, a thousand years later, he would fall at the hands of this foolish youngster.

Elsewhere, on the coast at the other end of the continent.

Clouds carried Qin Jun through the sky. The Great Qin Tiger Army and Qian Zhen Divine Army did not follow, as Qin Jun had ordered that if he won, the two legions would immediately be renamed.

Although he was not followed by the two legions, a dense crowd of cultivators trailed behind him, all there to watch the excitement or to support Qin Jun as righteous allies.

As Qin Jun drew nearer to the seaside, more and more people followed him.

"Is that Bianhai, he looks so young!"

"Don’t you know the art of maintaining youth?"

"Maybe he’s a thousand-year-old monster, but his presence is truly admirable. If it were me, I’d be super nervous."

"Yeah, carrying the future of the Eastern Flame Domain, yet he remains composed. It seems his strength must be extraordinary."

"In this lifetime, if I could reach his level, it would be enough!"

Listening to the discussions behind him, Qin Jun couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.

The reason why I am not nervous is that I don’t care about the Eastern Flame Domain!

The corners of Qin Jun’s mouth curled upward, and at the same time, the azure sea came into his field of vision.

Even from tens of miles away, he could feel the demon energy converging on the horizon.

"Huh—"

Qin Jun let out a deep breath, his violet eyes tranquil, and the hand resting on the hilt of the Seven Star Sword began to relax.

Perhaps today he would return to a thousand years later.

Soon, he flew over the forest and arrived above the sea surface, stopping in midair and quietly gazing ahead.

In front of him, giant sea beasts emerged from beneath the sea, and countless demon beasts flew out of the water, hovering in the air.

The sinister Green Fox King was seated on a crystal chair, carried by three burly, transformed demon kings, walking on air towards Qin Jun. Upon seeing Qin Jun, the Green Fox King’s eyes could hardly conceal a flare of rage.

This was the first time he had faced defeat, no less at the hands of a lowly being whose realm was beneath his own.

If he did not win this battle, Bianhai would become his eternal inner demon.

That’s why the Demon Ancestor proposed this battle. If he lost, the Demon Ancestor would no longer support his invasion of the Eastern Flame Domain.

In the eyes of the Demon Ancestor, the Eastern Flame Domain counted for nothing; valuing talent was the only reason the God Temple was forced to stand aside and let the Green Fox King develop.

Qin Jun looked back to see that the people from Bianhai Village had also arrived, including Iron Qingtian and Shouxin. Looking around, the beach was filled with figures, stretching out of sight on both sides, even the sky above the trees fluttered with many cultivators.

There must have been at least a million people watching the battle.

Qin Jun took a deep breath, then turned his head to look at the Green Fox King flying towards him. His heart, which had been at ease, began to waver again.

"I must win!"

Qin Jun whispered softly to himself.

On the beach, Shouxin asked Iron Qingtian with concern, "Brother, do you think Big Brother will win?"

Out of love for Qin Jun, Shouxin deliberately refrained from asking to become his disciple, still calling him Big Brother.

"Master will definitely win!" Iron Qingtian replied with clenched fists, his voice resolute.

In his heart, Qin Jun was the strongest!

He believed Qin Jun could overcome any enemy.

Standing behind them, Little White Dragon clenched his fists as he remembered what Qin Jun had said the night before: "Tomorrow’s battle might cause me to disappear, and I will only appear after a thousand years. During that time, you must strive to survive and, at the same time, establish a force within the Demon Clan for me, waiting for my descent after a thousand years. Can you do it?"

Thinking about this, Little White Dragon could not help but grit his teeth.

He felt the pressure but also a surge of will to fight.

Although surprised why Qin Jun had to disappear for a thousand years, he vowed not to disappoint him.

To help Little White Dragon survive better, Qin Jun even imparted the cultivation method of the Indestructible Saint Body to him, hoping he could establish a formidable reputation after a thousand years!
