The Strongest Mythical Emperor

Chapter 627: Chapter 627: Unromantic

"Nether King Palace?"

The Demon King of Ormosa Coral Snake frowned and muttered, always feeling as if he had heard the name somewhere before, but the emergence of Nether Dream Demon Venerable was too mysterious and unpredictable, leaving a heavy burden on his heart.

After walking a leisurely five steps, Nether Dream Demon Venerable caused both the Demon King of Ormosa Coral Snake and the toad spirit to be terrified, only to hear her speak, "The Holy Emperor of Qin in the Southern Domain has already grown powerful, and it’s no doubt futile for you to try and stop him on your own—it’s like throwing an egg against a rock!"

Though she spoke these words with seemingly calm tones, she was sighing incessantly on the inside.

The Nether King Palace had once sent her to meddle in the Southern Domain, aiming to establish a base to capture the news from various domains surrounding the Southern Domain, but she had not expected Qin Jun to rise to power so strongly, disrupting their plans.

Back in the land without a ruler, she had appeared at the Black Flame Sect and witnessed the clash between the ancient lamp and Qin Jun. She could never have imagined that Qin Jun would rule the entire Southern Domain in such a short time, with an array of powerful followers at his command.

If she had killed Qin Jun at that time, perhaps the Southern Domain would still be under the rule of the Sacred Dynasty by now.

Thus, Nether Dream Demon Venerable’s mood was exceptionally complex, feeling as if a fish that slipped through the net had turned into a big crocodile.

"What do you mean?" the Demon King of Ormosa Coral Snake asked sternly, not believing that Nether Dream Demon Venerable was just there to mock him.

"Join us in the Nether King Palace, and the Nether King Palace will be your support!" Nether Dream Demon Venerable said, her calm gaze putting immense pressure on the Demon King of Ormosa Coral Snake.

Having reached his position with great difficulty, was he now to become subordinate to others?

The Demon King of Ormosa Coral Snake clenched his fists tightly, caught in a fierce internal struggle.

The toad spirit watched with utmost anxiety. Just agree, damn it, do you want to die!

Ever since the Green Fox King died, following the Demon King of Ormosa Coral Snake, he wished he could kill himself with a block of tofu, for the Demon King was too foolish, indulging in pleasures after rising to power without integrating the powers of the Sea Demon Clan in the Southernmost Sea.

"If you can repel the Holy Emperor of Qin, then I will agree!"

The Demon King of Ormosa Coral Snake gritted his teeth. His top priority was to repel the Holy Emperor of Qin.

Nether Dream Demon Venerable nodded and spoke softly, "Just wait and see what happens."

She could sense Qin Jun’s grand army was not far from Fox King Island.

...

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

The grand army of four hundred thousand swept through the clouds while five hundred thousand shrimp soldiers and crab generals raced through the roaring waves below, raising up billowing spray, displaying an overwhelming momentum.

Qin Jun stood at the very front of the clouds, with Sun Wukong, Li Yuanba, Bai Ze, Zhu Bajie, Chang’e, Diting, Han Xin, and Liu Ruolai standing behind him, followed by the Heavenly River Marine Troops and Han Xin’s Army.

Fox King Island had already come into their field of view.

"Your Majesty, there may be unexpected developments in the upcoming battle," Bai Ze suddenly said, her voice still cold as if untouched by worldly concerns.

Qin Jun’s eyebrows lifted slightly. Bai Ze was a figure who could manipulate the game, foresee the future, and understand the past; did she sense something was going to happen?

"No matter the uncertainty, it cannot surpass absolute strength. I have two war gods standing behind me!" Qin Jun said with a dismissing hand and a smile.

Li Yuanba chuckled with a heh heh, while Sun Wukong curled his lip and said softly, "I haven’t even pledged allegiance to you yet!"

Despite the words, the incident with the Black Sea King Whale had thoroughly changed his impression of Qin Jun. The camaraderie amongst the group had deepened, and even he had to admit that following Qin Jun was indeed interesting—at least it was thrilling!

"Heh heh, for this battle, Yuanba and Monkey Brother might not even need to make a move. I alone can wipe them all out!"

Zhu Bajie laughed heh heh. After all, he was now a being of the Scattered Immortal Realm. In front of Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba, he appeared incredibly weak, and he was still very eager to prove himself.

Qin Jun nodded with a smile and took out an oil lamp with a flip of his hand—it was the Ten Thousand Demon Lamp.

Upon the reveal of the lamp, everyone’s gaze turned to it.

"This lamp..." Bai Ze’s beautiful eyes widened, and this was the first time Qin Jun saw her lose her composure, which secretly delighted him.

Qin Jun smiled mysteriously and offered no explanation.

Sun Wukong became even more curious about Qin Jun. How many cards was this guy hiding?

Soon, the great army arrived above Fox King Island, where shrimp soldiers and crab generals swiftly surrounded the entire island. Looking down from high above, Fox King Island seemed like a black island, surrounded by reefs, with monstrous beasts growling low within the forests, creating an incredibly oppressive atmosphere.

"I am the Holy Emperor of Qin. If Fox King Island submits, we can spare some bloodshed!"

Qin Jun’s indifferent voice sounded, his magical power at work, as his voice spread throughout the entire Fox King Island, making the demons and beasts tremble.

The name of the Holy Emperor of Qin had now become incredibly renowned, even spreading widely across the Eastern Flame Domain. Moreover, with the previous killing of the Green Fox King, the Holy Emperor of Qin’s name was as terrifying as a demon in the ears of the Sea Demon Clan of the Southernmost Sea.

Zhu Bajie rubbed his hands together in anticipation, taking out his Nine-Toothed Rake, ready for a grand battle.

Sun Wukong, however, crossed his arms over his chest, uninterested, for these were mere ants, not enough for a swing of his staff.

"Oh! The Holy Emperor of Qin, such grandeur!"

Just then, a mocking, delicate laugh rang out, followed by a plume of black smoke flying out from Fox King Island, rapidly condensing into the figure of the Nether Dream Demon Venerable.

Qin Jun raised an eyebrow – a female cultivator?

Nice figure, though!

"Humph!"

A displeased snort came from behind him, prompting Qin Jun to quickly avert his gaze. Bai Ze also looked towards the Nether Dream Demon Venerable, muttering to himself, "A Daluo Golden Immortal!"

This revelation caused a stir among the crowd.

This woman was a Daluo Golden Immortal?

Li Yuanba immediately got excited, pulling out his Golden Peng Hammer. This guy didn’t care whether his opponent was male or female, as long as they had the strength to fight.

Qin Jun’s mouth twitched, thinking how come it was yet another Daluo Golden Immortal? How could he never encounter one before, yet ever since he had summoned a Daluo Golden Immortal, he seemed to bump into one wherever he went...

It was his own overwhelming strength that had caught the attention of other Daluo, even drawing targeted attention.

"Who are you?" Qin Jun frowned and asked in a deep voice, while simultaneously raising his hand to stop Li Yuanba.

Zhu Bajie, previously eager to try his hand, suddenly became disheartened. Another Daluo Golden Immortal, he felt like crying.

"It doesn’t matter who I am. But today, you won’t take Fox King Island!" The Nether Dream Demon Venerable said with a charming laugh.

So arrogant!

Qin Jun retracted his hand, letting Li Yuanba go to battle.

It turned out that the unforeseen event Bai Ze previously mentioned was this woman.

But what of a Daluo Golden Immortal? He had three Daluo under his command; no need to be scared!

"Hahaha! Stinky old lady! Take this, your grandpa’s hammer!"

Li Yuanba laughed wildly and charged towards the Nether Dream Demon Venerable, causing Qin Jun and the others to twitch at the corners of their mouths – this guy truly lacked any sense of romance, doomed to be lonely!

The Nether Dream Demon Venerable’s eyes flashed with a cold glint as she suddenly pulled out a crimson sickle, its blade a zhang (approx. 3.3 meters) long, extremely exaggerated, and glistening with a cold light under the sunlight.

Facing the unstoppable force of Li Yuanba, the Nether Dream Demon Venerable raised her hand and swung her sickle down. In an instant, a bright light burst forth, forcing everyone to involuntarily close their eyes, except for Sun Wukong.

With a clang, the bright light dissipated, and Qin Jun looked carefully to see the Nether Dream Demon Venerable had actually blocked Li Yuanba’s Golden Peng Hammer.

The strength of Li Yuanba was terrifying, yet she – a female cultivator – had managed to block it!

Qin Jun inwardly clicked his tongue in wonder, while Zhu Bajie and the others watched, dumbstruck.

"Eh? Your magical artifact is quite powerful!"

Li Yuanba cried out incredulously, implying that she wasn’t up to par!

The Nether Dream Demon Venerable’s gaze flickered, and the next second, she ferociously swung her crimson sickle, unleashing a howling torrent of demonic energy that sent Li Yuanba flying.
