The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 616: Black Sea King Whale

Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Black Sea King Whale

Even Sun Wukong couldn’t break out?

Qin Jun’s face turned ugly in an instant — just how powerful was this ocean beast?

One thing was for certain: this ocean beast was an existence beyond the Daluo Golden Immortal!

"What should we do now?" Liu Ruolai asked Qin Jun anxiously.

Qin Jun was their backbone, and seeing him awake, Liu Ruolai at least felt less panic.

Chang’e was also looking at Qin Jun. Although his cultivation wasn’t high, he could always stay calm in any danger and come up with a plan.

"Have the soldiers remain vigilant. If we’re not dead inside its belly, other demons and ocean beasts probably aren’t either."

Qin Jun said in a deep voice, looking around. Everything was shrouded in darkness except for the island they were on, which they could barely make out.

Han Xin, who was behind Zhu Bajie, heard this and quickly nodded, turning to instruct the soldiers. Zhu Bajie also went to organize the celestial soldiers.

Qin Jun then walked toward the edge of the island, with Li Yuanba following closely behind him.

Liu Ruolai hugged Chang’e’s arm and asked worriedly, "Sister Chang’e, can we escape?"

The most terrifying thing for a person is the unknown. She didn’t know the kind of environment she was in, nor the dangers that lurked around.

"There won’t be any trouble," Chang’e said softly, as if she was always so composed.

Her calm also gradually soothed Liu Ruolai.

Sun Wukong sat where he was, scratching his head, feeling inexplicably powerless as if he was in the palm of Tathāgata’s hand.

He had hammered the terrifying Black Whale’s stomach wall countlessly but couldn’t even make a dent, and instead, his hands felt numb from the reverberations.

On the other side, Qin Jun and Li Yuanba reached the edge of the island. Qin Jun leaned over to look down, his complexion changed abruptly, and he quickly backed away.

"How foul..."

Qin Jun cursed, covering his nose. Li Yuanba was better off since he had seen worse on the battlefield.

Could all this be gastric juice?

The thought alone made Qin Jun feel like vomiting.

"Eh, how did you end up in its stomach?"

The voice of Ji Yongsheng suddenly rang in Qin Jun’s mind. It was as if he had grabbed a lifeline, and he quickly asked in his heart, "Do you know the creature that swallowed us?"

"Mmm-hmm, it used to be a pet of mine," Ji Yongsheng said with a sense of sigh.

"..."

Qin Jun was speechless. Ji Yongsheng continued, "It’s called the Black Sea King Whale. Back then, it was just a small fry. Its race is the overlord of the ocean. I didn’t expect it to still be alive."

The Black Sea King Whale?

The name sounded domineering. Combined with its Energy-swallowing Mountains and Rivers ability, it was indeed well-matched.

"Do you have a way for us to get out?" Qin Jun quickly asked in his heart.

Li Yuanba saw Qin Jun deep in thought and didn’t dare to disturb him. He stayed by the side, observing the world inside the Black Sea King Whale’s belly.

"I’m just a fragment of a soul now; what can I do?" Ji Yongsheng said helplessly.

Then why the hell did you talk so much?

Qin Jun felt an impulse to explode.

"However, I hid something inside it back then. If you get it, the extreme flame demon bloodline within you will further awaken. Your strength will not only increase, but once it senses your aura, it will also let you out," Ji Yongsheng said with a change of tone and a soft chuckle.

At this, Qin Jun’s eyes lit up.

After breaking through to the sixth level of the Immortal Realm, he needed time, even with his exceptional talent and countless resources, to advance further.

Now, hearing that there was something inside the Black Sea King Whale that could make him stronger, he couldn’t help but feel excited.

"Wait, why did you hide something inside it?" Qin Jun asked, puzzled.

He always felt that Ji Yongsheng seemed to have laid out a grand scheme, as if the Ten Thousand Demon Lamp of the Cat People Clan and the Extreme Flame Ghost Water of the Valley of Death were all waiting for him to collect.

"Naturally, it’s for your own good," Ji Yongsheng replied tartly, "Feel carefully; you’ll sense the existence of that thing."

After that, no matter how much Qin Jun kept asking, Ji Yongsheng didn’t respond, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep again.

Left with no other choice, Qin Jun closed his eyes to feel.

Very soon, he sensed something calling to him from a certain place. This feeling was strange, just like when he first comprehended the fruit of the Ziwei Emperor Star; it was indescribable.

"Everyone, follow me!"

Qin Jun turned around and shouted loudly; his voice reached the ears of hundreds of thousands of people, causing an uproar.

He then leaped forward, followed closely by Li Yuanba; Zhu Bajie and Han Xin quickly summoned their soldiers to follow.

Sun Wukong and Diting caught up quickly, with Liu Ruolai being taken by Chang’e, their waists embraced, flying in the air like celestial maidens, truly beautiful.

Hundreds of thousands of people flew in a mighty procession, with Qin Jun at the forefront, wrapped in Samadhi Real Fire, lighting the way ahead. Although divine consciousness was enough for cultivators, light always brings hope and a sense of security.

"Your Majesty, what have you discovered?"

Zhu Bajie asked, unable to hold back, while others looked at him curiously.

Sun Wukong frowned, looking at Qin Jun. The smoke from the Samadhi Real Fire was unpleasant for him. They were less than five meters apart, causing his fiery eyes to tingle slightly.

"Just follow me," Qin Jun replied irritably.

This was something he couldn’t explain well. He couldn’t just reveal the presence of Ji Yongsheng within him, could he?

As they flew, the army didn’t move fast, wary of monsters appearing suddenly.

"Kek-kek-kek..."

Before they had flown a kilometer, a chilling voice reached their ears.

Qin Jun immediately halted, and swept the area with his divine consciousness, but didn’t detect any other beings.

Sun Wukong widened his eyes, his Fiery Eyes shining brightly, with two beams of golden light shooting forward. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers looked nervously around.

Whoosh!

A whistling sound came, and Qin Jun frowned, looking over to see a bone spur, like a lance, flying out of the darkness directly towards him at an extreme speed.

Clang—

Li Yuanba swung out the Golden Peng Hammer with one hand, deflecting the bone spur.

Qin Jun’s frown deepened because he noticed something — it was only deflected, not shattered.

When it came to hardness, the Golden Peng Hammer was no weaker than the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

A sinister voice rang out, followed by a cold wind that made the hair of hundreds of thousands of soldiers stand on end. It felt as though the voice was right by their ears, and they could even sense the breathing of the other party.

"What demon dares to hide? Show yourself at once!"

Qin Jun bellowed, hating such deceitful tricks.

Have the guts to confront us head-on!

As soon as he finished speaking, a white shadow began to approach through the darkness ahead. As it got closer, hundreds of thousands of soldiers gasped in shock.

Liu Ruolai covered her face with her hands, frightened.

It was a tall figure made of bones, two zhang high, with flesh and blood still clinging to its body, and especially its face, where an eyeball rolled grotesquely — terrifying and ghastly. The dark setting made its appearance frightful, giving Qin Jun the feeling of a horror flick coming to life.

The White Bone Spirit?

Qin Jun thought instinctively, but this creature seemed rather to be a pitiable state of digestion by the gastric fluids of the Black Sea King Whale.
