Chapter 643: Chapter 643: Banquet of the Ten Realms

The Six-Eared Macaque was incredibly fast, and before long, he had arrived in front of the Holy City.

Gazing at the bustling Holy City and the cultivators coming and going, a ferocious and brutal smile appeared on his face.

"Don’t blame me for being heartless. The Demon Ancestor has something I need. I hope you’ll have better luck in your next lives."

The Six-Eared Macaque muttered to himself as if he was certain of conquering the Great Qin heavenly court, and the next second he exploded with momentum, causing everyone in the Holy City to feel as if their chests were struck by a heavy hammer, struggling to breathe.

Following that, several auras no less powerful than that of the Six-Eared Macaque, and some even stronger, surged into the sky.

The Six-Eared Macaque’s expression changed dramatically, shouting in shock, "How is this possible!"

No sooner had his voice faded than a figure leaped from Saint Emperor Peak, shooting through the sky like an arrow and smashing his staff down on the Six-Eared Macaque. To his surprise, it was a white-furred, heavily armored monkey demon.

He instinctively swung his staff to block, but Yuan Hong descended from the heavens with tremendous force, knocking him down through the rolling clouds with a single blow.

"Hmph!"

Yuan Hong sneered, though a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

There was actually a third monkey demon at the Golden Immortal Realm, but his cultivation level was similar to his, just having reached the Golden Immortal Realm.

At this moment, the Six-Eared Macaque suddenly leapt up, his face twisted in fury, the murderous intent in his eyes almost tangible. His iron staff tore through the air, aiming to crush Yuan Hong’s skull.

In the blink of an eye, a flaming arrow whistled through the air.

Just as the Six-Eared Macaque and Yuan Hong were about to clash, an arrow pierced through the shoulder of the Six-Eared Macaque, blood splattering as his expression froze instantly.

"How is this possible..."

The Six-Eared Macaque was filled with horror. To be defeated just as he was about to perform?

The arrow burning in his shoulder caused him agonizing pain, as if thousands of insects were devouring his flesh, and he plummeted straight downward.

Had he not heard the sound of the arrow whizzing by, his head might have already been blown off.

"Eh?"

A surprised voice came from within the Holy City, naturally from Hou Yi’s mouth. He hadn’t expected the Six-Eared Macaque to dodge the vital spot, and although the monkey demon was still seriously injured, Hou Yi was somewhat dissatisfied.

A flash of fear crossed Yuan Hong’s eyes as he realized just how terrifying Hou Yi’s arrows were.

The Six-Eared Macaque was terrified. As he fell, he swiftly transformed into a streak of light, tearing through space, and vanished without a trace.

Feeling the disappearance of the Six-Eared Macaque’s aura, Yuan Hong could only fly back to Saint Emperor Peak in frustration.

Elsewhere, Qin Jun was practicing his swordsmanship in the Royal Flower Garden. Although he had felt the pressure from the Six-Eared Macaque earlier, he was not concerned. The Great Qin heavenly court was no longer what it once was.

"Your Majesty, we let him escape." Yuan Hong landed beside Qin Jun and saluted, his tone filled with self-reproach.

The enemy had infiltrated the Southern Domain Heaven World, and it was his responsibility that the enemy had escaped.

After all, it wasn’t he who had repelled the Six-Eared Macaque, but Hou Yi.

"Oh? What did he look like?"

Qin Jun asked casually while continuing his sword practice, gauging that the intruder must be strong to have escaped from Yuan Hong, possibly even above the Golden Immortal Realm.

Such beings were rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

"It was a monkey demon with six ears, very strong," Yuan Hong recalled, his expression quite strange.

Since when were the monkey clan so powerful?

To have three Golden Immortal monkey demons appear?

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun immediately stopped his Seven Star Sword and turned around with a surprised expression, asking, "Six ears?"

Could it be the Six-Eared Macaque?

Why would he suddenly attack the Great Qin heavenly court?

"Hmm, it could be a rare breed," Yuan Hong nodded.

Qin Jun couldn’t help feeling depressed as he asked inwardly, "System, could the God and Demon defectors still harbor hatred toward me?"

What a maniac!

They attacked my Great Qin Celestial Court out of the blue.

"No, it is probably for some other reason," the system hesitated before replying.

Upon hearing this, a twitch formed at the corner of Qin Jun’s mouth. The next time he encountered the Six-Eared Macaque, he would beat him up without question!

"Ding! Side quest triggered—Defeat the Six-Eared Macaque! Quest details: If the Great Qin Celestial Court defeats the Six-Eared Macaque again, the host will receive one chance at the God and Demon pinnacle!"

The system’s notification sound followed, dispelling Qin Jun’s gloom.

But he still couldn’t help pondering—the Six-Eared Macaque wouldn’t attack the Holy City without a reason, there must be one.

Could it be that someone was instructing him?

The God Temple, Western Domain, Demon Ancestor, Nether King Palace all had the potential motives, other enemies lacked the qualifications to request a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Perhaps it was the Tathāgata; after all, the legends of the true and fake Monkey King existed in a previous life, who’s to say there was no connection between the Tathāgata and the Six-Eared Macaque.

If the Tathāgata knew, he’d surely cry foul—I did nothing...

Qin Jun could only wave his hand, indicating that Yuan Hong could leave.

Yuan Hong, feeling guilty, did not dare to linger and quickly disappeared from the spot.

"Tsk, tsk. Sun Wukong, Six-Eared Macaque, Tongbi Gibbon, just missing a Red-Buttocked Macaque," Qin Jun remarked with amazement. The gathering of the four great spiritual monkeys was a scene never seen before in mythology.

I wonder which monkey is the strongest?

With this thought, the corners of Qin Jun’s mouth curled up—it seemed that it would be interesting to subdue the Six-Eared Macaque in the future.

Then he walked into the stone pavilion. Currently, he had accumulated four chances to enter the God and Demon instance, two skill inheritances, and one chance at the God and Demon pinnacle.

The appearance of the Six-Eared Macaque likely heralded a big conspiracy, making him lose the mood to practice swordsmanship.

Who should he choose to enter the God and Demon instance, and who should be restored to their God and Demon peak?

As for the two skill inheritances, he temporarily decided not to use them.

Because he possessed too many Divine Powers and had yet been able to integrate them fully, such as the Fighting Dao Secret Characters, Formation Dao Secret Characters, Death Blade, Divine Power Severing Heaven, Samadhi Real Fire, Law-Defying Split Body, 36 Heavenly Transformations, The Great Dao Carries Heaven Wheel–each one profoundly complex. Although the system had forcibly made him understand, Qin Jun felt that if he could freely use and even combine them, they might become stronger.

That was why he didn’t continue to use the skill inheritance opportunities.

...

The eve of the Ten Domains Banquet.

Dilin Island was bustling with people; countless ships were anchored around it, and even the islands within a hundred miles were crowded.

This unprecedented event drove countless cultivators from the Southern Domain mad; how could they miss this opportunity?

Qin Jun, dressed in the Nine Dragons Supreme Emperor’s robe, stood on the mountaintop behind the Saint Emperor Palace. Behind him stood Bai Ze, Li Yuanba, and Yang Jian. Yuan Hong and Sun Wukong were not brought along, as the lords from various domains would be arriving today.

"From tomorrow onwards, the Great Qin Celestial Court will shake dozens of domains!"

Bai Ze murmured, firing up Li Yuanba and Yang Jian.

Gazing at the azure sky, Qin Jun chuckled, "Fame is not enough for me, my goal is to be the master of a hundred domains!"

Master of a hundred domains!

Bai Ze and the others trembled, and Li Yuanba quickly flattered, "Your Majesty will surely achieve it, especially with me by your side!"

"Humph! And me!" Yang Jian huffed; his loyalty had also reached its full value by now.

Qin Jun shook his head with a smile—he had bigger aspirations but couldn’t be bothered to say them out loud.

Just then, a gigantic black hole appeared in the sky above Dilin Island, with thunder and lightning adding to its impressive display. Strands of golden spiritual energy spilled out, causing countless people to look up.

Suddenly, a hundred-yard-long golden law ship slowly emerged, a large dragon head adorning its front, and numerous cannon ports scattered across its body. After exiting the black hole, an intimidating pressure descended upon the onlookers.
