Chapter 565: Chapter 565: The Clash of Two Heroes

Boom—

A terrifying thunderbolt, ten meters wide and carrying the might of world annihilation, descended, causing Liu Ruolai to exclaim and cover her mouth, while the others looked on at Qin Jun with nervous eyes.

This thunderbolt was not something that a common Immortal Realm cultivator could withstand, and even some True Immortal Realm cultivators might be blasted to death, their path extinguished.

The Four-clawed Golden Dragon, carrying countless golden lotuses, began to swirl faster and faster around Qin Jun.

As the celestial thunder roared, the great heavenly wheel born of the Dao was chopped down, gradually sinking lower.

Qin Jun clenched his teeth and endured, as the violent celestial thunder energy rampaged within his body, causing his skin to ooze blood. Soon, his white clothes were soaked red.

"If this continues, things really won’t go well..."

Qin Jun thought to himself anxiously. At first, he felt exhilarated, but as the thunder increased, he began to feel the agony.

"Your Majesty, do you need help?" Yang Jian asked timely.

Most cultivators die during their tribulation.

The higher the realm, the greater the chance of death.

"No need!"

Qin Jun shouted through gritted teeth, refusing to believe that he couldn’t even withstand this minor heavenly tribulation!

Resolved, he began mobilizing the magical power within his body, entering the Vajra indestructible state and shaking off the blood on the surface of his skin, forcefully pushing up the great heavenly wheel born of the Dao.

The Heavenly Dao kept striking down on the great heavenly wheel born of the Dao, like the wheel was a magnet attracting thousands of lightning bolts.

At that moment, the purple flame pattern between Qin Jun’s eyebrows suddenly ignited, splitting into two streams that floated out from his forehead, while the Ziwei Emperor Star Dao Fruit within him suddenly trembled.

A strange and indescribable energy started to flow within Qin Jun’s body.

"What’s happening..."

Qin Jun was moved; he felt the demonic energy inside of him stir on its own, rapidly overflowing his body.

Demonic energy!

Yang Jian and the others widened their eyes. Was Qin Jun also cultivating the demonic arts?

Jiang Ziya also widened his eyes from afar.

Just as the demonic energy surged, it coalesced into an imposing figure—a true body of the extreme flame demon god, pitch black, making it impossible to discern its true face, only the scarlet eyes visible.

Facing the rolling thunder, the true body of the extreme flame demon god looked up, clapping its hands together with force.

A dark wheel formed behind him, clearly the great heavenly wheel born of the Dao.

Unlike Qin Jun’s golden wheel, this one was black, exuding an evil essence.

"Break!"

The true body of the extreme flame demon god roared with anger; it was Qin Jun’s voice, which even left Qin Jun himself stunned.

As his words fell, the pitch-black wheel of the Dao suddenly burst forth, smashing right into the midst of the heavenly tribulation.

With a booming sound that shook the heavens, the wheel exploded, dispersing the thunderclouds, and all the golden lotuses along with phantom soldiers and horses were also blasted into oblivion.

The sight left everyone around dumbstruck.

Directly obliterating the heavenly tribulation?

Hisss—

Yang Jian and others all took in a cold breath of air, and Liu Ruolai looked up at Qin Jun with adoration.

The outline of the true body of the extreme flame demon god resembled Qin Jun, leading her to believe this might be one of Qin Jun’s Divine Powers.

The wild wind ravaged the clear blue sky, dispersing the clouds, and thus the golden lotus and phantom soldier tribulation came to an end.

Qin Jun stood rooted to the spot, subconsciously looking back at the true body of the extreme flame demon god, his eyes filled with terror.

He was completely unable to control the true body of the extreme flame demon god, yet he could clearly feel the terrifying power of the demon god’s true body.

Of course, compared with when it annihilated the ancient spirit, the true body of the extreme flame demon god seemed much weakened.

At that time, the true body of the extreme flame demon god was personally activated by Ji Yongsheng.

Could it be the same this time?

"Hmph, don’t pretend to be strong!" Ji Yongsheng coldly sneered in Qin Jun’s mind. As his words fell, the true body of the Extreme Flame Demon God dissipated into wisps of black energy and scattered in the air.

Qin Jun remained silent, admitting to himself that he truly wasn’t sure he could survive the Golden Lotus Soldier Tribulation. He had a feeling the upcoming heavenly tribulation would be even more terrifying, but he still clenched his teeth and persevered. Looking back, it made him break out in a cold sweat, filled with a sense of retrospective fear.

The thunderclouds dissipated, and the sunlight fell once more, casting its rays upon Qin Jun’s figure. His white clothes were now dyed with the color of blood, and together with the purple flame pulsing on his forehead, he looked exceptionally wicked, like a devil king himself.

The sixth layer of the Immortal Realm!

Qin Jun clenched his fists— he had made a breakthrough with both fear and excitement!

His strength had increased more than a hundredfold. Shattering mountains and splitting rivers with a single punch was no longer difficult, done with ease and pleasure.

At the same time, his Dao’s Lifewheel also broke through to the second layer!

How exhilarating!

"By the way, weren’t you very weak? How come you can still control the demonic energy inside my body?" Qin Jun puzzledly asked in his mind.

Although Ji Yongsheng saved him, the fact that this guy could always easily control his demonic energy was frustrating for Qin Jun.

"Hmph, as you grow stronger, my remnant soul is also recovering," Ji Yongsheng coldly snorted.

Damn!

It could work that way?

Qin Jun seemed to smell a conspiracy.

Noticing Qin Jun’s thoughts, Ji Yongsheng said impatiently, "How many times have I told you, I’m not going to harm you. Moreover, I can’t possess another body, and this remnant soul of mine will eventually dissipate."

Qin Jun remained skeptical. The stronger the being, the less it wanted to die, and he felt that Ji Yongsheng must have been at least above the Daluo Realm in his prime.

Just then, Jiang Ziya appeared riding an elaphure.

"Subordinate Jiang Ziya greets Your Majesty. Congratulations on achieving Immortal status!"

Jiang Ziya dismounted and knelt in front of Qin Jun, paying his respects.

Everyone else gathered around, curious to assess Jiang Ziya.

"Why is it you, the Grand Duke?" Yang Jian furrowed his brow, considering that Jiang Ziya had been his superior during the Investiture of the Gods.

Jiang Ziya didn’t look up at Yang Jian since Qin Jun had yet to speak.

"Rise to your feet!" Qin Jun said with a smile, helping Jiang Ziya up and laughingly told the Nine-headed Insect and the others, "Ziya is truly capable. With his assistance, my ambitions can be more easily fulfilled."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed doubtful expressions.

The god and demon races almost all had memories of their past lives, so they were all taken aback by the name Jiang Ziya. However, ultimately being only of the True Immortal Realm, Jiang Ziya didn’t catch the attention of these mightier beings of the Taiyi Realm.

Qin Jun waved his hand with a smile, signaling Zhu Bajie to take care of Jiang Ziya.

He didn’t want to overly promote Jiang Ziya, who was a smart man himself and had to prove his own worth.

"System, bring up the attributes list for the Nine-headed Insect," Qin Jun urged inwardly.

He noted that the Nine-headed Insect kept giving challenging glances toward Yang Jian, seemingly still brooding over the previous humiliation.

As soon as the words left him, the attributes list of the Nine-headed Insect appeared before his eyes:

"Nine-headed Insect, from Journey to the West."

"Race: Ghost Car!"

"Cultivation: Late stage of Mysterious Immortal Realm of Taiyi!"

"Cultivation Method: Nine-headed Body Technique!"

"Divine Power: Ghost Car True Body! Heaven and Earth Escape Technique! Nine Secret Techniques!"

"Magical Item: Crescent Shovel!"

"Loyalty: 100 (Full score 100)!"

Late stage of the Mysterious Immortal Realm of Taiyi!

Qin Jun gasped, as this damn thing stood on equal footing with Yang Jian!

No wonder the Nine-headed Insect was so arrogant, challenging Yang Jian the moment he returned.

Full of pride and unfazed, Yang Jian similarly looked arrogantly at the Nine-headed Insect. With arms crossed over his chest, they faced off against each other, their aura growing increasingly intense.
