The Strongest Mythical Emperor

Chapter 620: Chapter 620: Dining

"We’re in trouble now!"

Sun Wukong said in a deep voice, his expression somewhat ugly. If these people were just enemies, he wouldn’t be afraid, but these were Qin Jun’s subordinates. Qin Jun had been good to him, and he could not be ungrateful.

Qin Jun took a deep breath, pulled Liu Ruolai behind him, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any way to trap them?"

He remembered that in "Journey to the West," Sun Wukong seemed to have a similar spell that could draw a circle on the ground to imprison enemies. If they could entrap the four hundred thousand soldiers in reverse, it would save them a lot of trouble.

As for trapping Zhu Bajie, Chang’e, and Diting, that was unrealistic.

As soon as Sun Wukong heard this, he immediately took action, extracting a handful of monkey hairs and blowing on them, creating a thousand magical split bodies that swiftly flew towards the Celestial River Navy and Han Xin’s Army.

Qin Jun took another deep breath, surveying Crystal Island. The island was vast, and they were only on a small part of it.

He could feel that the thing Ji Yongsheng spoke of was on the island.

Immediately, he pulled Liu Ruolai and ran towards the depths of Crystal Island, causing her to ask anxiously, "Where are we going?"

The strange transformation of Li Yuanba, Chang’e, and the tens of thousands of soldiers made her panic, fearing she might end up like them.

Could this Crystal Island be hiding a curse?

She could find no other explanation, as even a strong warrior like Li Yuanba had been bewildered. Could the prohibition formation really be that powerful?

"To find a solution!"

Qin Jun replied swiftly. His running speed was so fast that Liu Ruolai was practically being carried aloft by him.

Once he found the thing mentioned by Ji Yongsheng and further awakened the bloodline of the Extreme Flame Demon God, the Black Sea King Whale would spit them out, and by then, Li Yuanba and the others should regain their senses.

Elsewhere, Sun Wukong and his split bodies moved quickly, drawing circles of light on the ground. In no time, they had trapped the four hundred thousand soldiers in various sized rings, quickly leaving only Li Yuanba, Zhu Bajie, Chang’e, and Diting.

Sun Wukong sent five split bodies to protect Qin Jun, while the rest diverted Li Yuanba and others to fly out of Crystal Island.

He wanted to try if being away from Crystal Island would restore their sanity.

The group soon vanished into the darkness.

On the other side, the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor suddenly stepped out from the void in the darkness, its eyeball constantly moving as if searching for something.

Then, its gaze locked onto a certain place on Crystal Island, and it immediately moved towards it.

At the same time, Qin Jun was still searching, with five of Sun Wukong’s split bodies flying above him, looking around vigilantly.

Crystal Island was filled with crystals of various colors which, as far as the eye could see, resembled a maze. Fortunately, Qin Jun could rely on his Divine Consciousness.

After racing for two or three miles, Qin Jun and his companions suddenly stopped. In front of them, on an open ground, stood a gigantic crystal, a hundred meters tall, with a strange red liquid sealed inside it, moving eerily within the crystal.

"What is that?" Liu Ruolai’s eyes widened. For some reason, the sight of the mysterious red liquid instinctively filled her with fear, and she even felt an urge to kneel down.

Qin Jun’s heartbeat began to quicken. He didn’t need to ask Ji Yongsheng; he knew this red liquid was what he was looking for.

Just seeing it, he felt an intense desire to possess it. The purple flame pattern on his brow started to pulse, and his purple eyes began to shine brightly, much like Sun Wukong when he used his fiery golden eyes.

"That is..."

A split body of Sun Wukong murmured, a puzzled look on its face.

Just then, Crystal Island began to shake violently, and a light barrier sprang up from its edge, enveloping the entire island. The process happened so quickly that Qin Jun and the others had no time to react.

"Let’s see how you run now?"

A familiar, sinister voice sounded. Qin Jun and the others turned to look, only to see the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor had appeared again, stepping through the void, its flesh hanging as if it could fall off at any moment, nauseating to behold.

"Did you do this?" Qin Jun asked with a frown.

His question was only about the light barrier enveloping Crystal Island. One of Sun Wukong’s split bodies soared into the air, swinging his staff, but, unfortunately, he couldn’t shatter the light barrier.

This scene made Qin Jun’s heart sink.

"You taste delicious." The White Bone Life-Controller Emperor’s eyeball fixed on Qin Jun, its gaze filled with greed and confusion.

It seemed not even to understand why it felt this way.

Qin Jun felt goosebumps all over. This thing actually wanted to eat him!

"You attend to your task; we’ll handle it!"

Four of Sun Wukong’s split bodies rushed towards the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor after dropping this line, while another split body, after realizing it couldn’t break the light barrier, also charged at the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor.

The five split bodies began to fight the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor.

Continuously creating bone shields around itself, the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor swiftly blocked all attacks from Sun Wukong’s split bodies, frustrating them.

Even though the split bodies were almost as strong as the original body, they lacked the divine powers, and the staffs in their hands were just imitations, not as sturdy as the true staff.

"Die!"

The White Bone Life-Controller Emperor suddenly spit out the word. The bone shields around it turned into spears and flew out with lightning speed, piercing through Sun Wukong’s five split bodies.

The expressions of the split bodies froze in an instant, filled with disbelief. They had not expected the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor to create bones so terrifyingly fast.

Immediately after, the five magical split bodies vanished into thin air.

On the other side, Qin Jun’s Samadhi Real Fire had only melted one-third of the giant crystal.

Even without looking back, he could tell by his Divine Consciousness that Sun Wukong’s five split bodies had been destroyed.

"Run!"

Qin Jun urgently transmitted to Liu Ruolai, a sense of despair in his heart. The White Bone Life-Controller Emperor was too powerful; only Sun Wukong’s true form could restrain him, and he and Liu Ruolai would probably not escape death.

What’s more, they would die without a corpse intact.

Liu Ruolai did not respond, but instead turned to face the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor with her head lowered. She bit gently on her lip and then drew a longsword from her storage ring.

This moved Qin Jun but also frustrated him.

The White Bone Life-Controller Emperor flew slowly forward, its eye unceasingly fixed on Qin Jun, ignoring Liu Ruolai completely. In the gloomy Crystal Island, it resembled a specter or fierce ghost, longing to devour Qin Jun.
