The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 593: Battle Intent

Chapter 593: Chapter 593: Battle Intent

"You have no idea the terror that lies within the Daluo Realm. If you persist in this folly, countless lives in the Southern Domain will be lost because of you!"

Ding Qi gritted his teeth, hoping to scare Qin Jun into backing down.

But Qin Jun was not scared off; on the contrary, the Sixth Golden Crow and Lv Yue felt a twinge of fear.

"You’re overestimating your temple leader!"

Qin Jun looked down at him, his voice indifferent. He was utterly unmoved by Ding Qi’s threat, even feeling a compulsion to laugh.

If Ding Qi knew that there were three Daluo under his command, he would probably wet himself.

"You..."

Ding Qi had never encountered such an arrogant young man. It was no wonder that the temple master sent him, yet he still capsized.

In order to save his own life, he bowed his head and said, "Just spare me, and I will tell you the way to the God Temple!"

Qin Jun raised an eyebrow; this fellow really was not giving up until he reached the point of no return, actually thinking that Qin Jun wouldn’t dare to kill him?

"Sixth Golden Crow, kill him," Qin Jun said softly.

He was not in a hurry to assault the God Temple, because the Southern Domain needed time to develop.

Once the God Temple falls, dozens of domains would surely plunge into a fierce war for supremacy. Even with numerous capable individuals under Qin Jun’s command, war tests not just the strength of individuals, but also the overall military power and resources.

The Great Qin Heavenly Court had just been established a few months ago, and many territories in the Southern Domain were still occupied by the Demon Clan; everything required time.

"Yes!"

The Sixth Golden Crow breathed a sigh of relief, having thought that Qin Jun was abandoning the idea of challenging the Daluo.

"You..." Ding Qi looked up, his eyes bulging with bloodshot veins, his face full of despair and fury.

But before he could finish speaking, the Sixth Golden Crow’s right hand struck down, True Solar Fire instantly enveloping Ding Qi, turning him to ashes in the blink of an eye.

A mighty Taiyi Mysterious Immortal Realm expert died a tragic death just like that!

Qin Jun couldn’t suppress a sneer. The audacity to threaten him with the Southern Domain, without gauging his own worth.

But since Ding Qi was ranked third in strength within the God Temple, Divine Wuji would certainly not send anyone else. It would have to be he himself who came forth.

Divine Wuji would never imagine that Qin Jun’s ranks were filled with such strong figures, even possessing three Daluo.

Within just a month, Qin Jun had acquired three Daluo. The system had removed the experience value settings, but also lifted the restrictions on God and Demon summons, fueling a rapid ascension of his forces, truly a blessing in disguise.

"Let’s go back to the Great Qin Heavenly Court!"

Qin Jun waved his hand with a smile. This battle had proven the prowess of the Sixth Golden Crow and Lv Yue, and eliminated a potential threat, which left him in high spirits.

And yet, a phrase uttered by Ding Qi lingered in his mind: Zun Rudao roamed between the God Temple and the Nether King Palace.

He recalled the Little White Dragon was also dealing with the Nether King Palace.

Listening to Ding Qi’s tone, it would seem it was not inferior to the God Temple.

...

Returning to the celestial world of the Southern Domain, the battle had not drawn the attention of others.

Qin Jun, accompanied by the Sixth Golden Crow, Lv Yue, and the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint, flew quickly back to the Holy City and immediately convened a court meeting. Within just half an hour, all civil and military officials of the fifth rank and above had gathered in Junzheng Hall on Saint Emperor Peak.

In the Great Qin Heavenly Court, official positions were divided into celestial and mortal ranks. Those serving within the celestial world of the Southern Domain held celestial ranks, while those in the Mortal Realm held mortal ranks. Below them, the arrangement of different kingdoms and Imperial Dynasties was set, all being nine ranks, with the ninth rank the lowest and the first rank the highest.

"First, let me introduce to everyone, today two Taiyi Realm powerhouses have sworn allegiance to the Great Qin Heavenly Court."

Qin Jun sat on the dragon throne, hands propped on his knees, chuckling. As he spoke, the whole assembly was abuzz.

All eyes fell on the Sixth Golden Crow and Lv Yue standing behind the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint. Being Taiyi Realm powerhouses, they were bound to stand out prominently, and being unfamiliar faces, they were naturally identified as the Sixth Golden Crow and Lv Yue.

"This is the Sixth Golden Crow, a peak-level Mysterious Immortal of the Taiyi Realm, and one of the top five powerhouses throughout the entire Great Qin Heavenly Court! I hereby appoint him as the Solar Divine General and grant him third-rank official remuneration!" Qin Jun began by introducing the Sixth Golden Crow. He was quite curious about the Sixth Golden Crow’s name, but since this fellow had not restored his previous life’s memory, he simply went by the name Sixth.

Qin Jun was curious; in his past life, he had read many Primordial Chaos novels which claimed that Daoist Lu Ya was the sole surviving little Golden Crow; he wondered whether this was true or not.

Peak-level Mysterious Immortal of the Taiyi Realm!

The whole court was in an uproar.

In order to intensify the cultivation atmosphere, Qin Jun had already disclosed the cultivation ranks.

The Mortal Realm: energy refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Elixir, Ascending Mortal, Transforming into Void!

The Immortal Realm: Earth Immortal, Heaven Immortal, True Immortal, Golden Immortal!

The Taiyi Realm: Taiyi Golden Immortal, Taiyi Loose Immortal, Taiyi Mysterious Immortal!

The announcement of this news had indeed caused a monumental stir in the Heavenly World of the Southern Domain.

"This is Lv Yue, an early-stage strongman of the Taiyi Mysterious Immortal Realm. I appoint him as the Master of Plague, equally entitled to third-rank official remuneration!" Qin Jun said with a smile, pointing at Lv Yue. He had originally wanted to appoint Lv Yue as the Great Plague Emperor, but that would have been taboo.

In Great Qin, there can be only one emperor, and that is the Holy Emperor of Qin.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Sixth Golden Crow and Lv Yue came to the center, kneeling on one knee. They were, however, secretly shocked, for they overheard the whispers of the civil and military officials.

The Taiyi Realm powerhouses of the Great Qin Heavenly Court were nearing ten in number.

Since Qin Jun previously mentioned that the Sixth Golden Crow was among the top five, it meant he could only be in fifth place.

"Tsk tsk, that fiery bird—we’ll have a fight after this is over!" Li Yuanba chuckled, wearing somewhat battered armor. Beside him, Kua Fu too bore scars; it was evident that the pair had just finished a battle, and now this brash fellow was picking a fight with the Sixth Golden Crow.

He truly intended to challenge the entire Great Qin Heavenly Court...

Qin Jun was speechless but did not say anything. It was a good opportunity to use Li Yuanba’s hand to subdue the Sixth Golden Crow.

"Sure!"

The Sixth Golden Crow was frightened by Li Yuanba’s aura but was not afraid to fight.

As for Lv Yue, Li Yuanba ignored him completely; the poor man was only in the early stages of the Taiyi Mysterious Immortal Realm, and Li Yuanba was afraid of killing him by accident.

Yang Jian, standing in front of Li Yuanba, turned back to glance at the Sixth Golden Crow with a gaze full of meaning; it was clear that he too desired a bout with him.

Following that, the Nine-headed Insect beside Yang Jian also glanced at the Sixth Golden Crow, and Kua Fu looked over as well...

The Sixth Golden Crow, feeling their gazes, was terrified.

He immediately understood that these individuals might be ranked higher than him, and he inwardly lamented, for he could sense that none of them were weaker than him.

Daji, You Fenghuang, Zhu Yanqing, and Wang Xue all exchanged knowing smiles at the rare sight of such an amusing situation.

For a moment, the whole hall was filled with a sense of battle, and the civil officials felt as if they were in a cold cellar, daring not to speak.

Jiang Ziya shook his head and smiled; these warriors truly loved to fight.

"Alright, let’s now talk about the God Temple," Qin Jun suddenly said, changing the subject.

He did not stop his subordinates from sparring with each other; as long as it was not done with malicious intent, it was fine. In fact, frequent sparring could even help with mutual improvement.

As soon as the civil and military officials heard the words "God Temple," they all quieted down, looking at Qin Jun with tense gazes.

The God Temple was an extraordinary existence that overshadowed dozens of domains; how could they not be nervous?

Moreover, the shadow cast by the recent visit of the Tathāgata had not yet completely dissipated.

"Today, the third-ranked powerhouse of the God Temple has launched a surprise attack on the Heavenly World of the Southern Domain!"

Qin Jun’s words exploded in the hall like a heavy bomb, causing an uproar.
