Chapter 646: Chapter 646: Terrifying Demon Emperor

"What’s the trouble that even you dare not face Master?"

Iron Qingtian frowned and asked, unable to imagine the might of the Dragon Emperor, although he knew in his heart that none could compare to Qin Jun’s bizarre subordinates.

The Dragon Emperor gave a bitter smile and said, "Naturally, it’s the Nether King Palace. Recently, the rising power of the Demon Emperor has allied with the Nether King Palace, and they are aggressively invading all domains. Qin is in a dire situation and fears he may soon have no foothold within the Central Wasteland."

Qin was the force established by Qin Jun ten thousand years ago, formed by the armies of the Great Qin Tiger and Qian True Divine. Ten thousand years later, it had evolved into a transcendental existence.

"Is the Demon Emperor really that formidable?" Iron Qingtian smacked his lips and asked; he had also heard of the Demon Emperor’s name in recent years.

It was said that upon the Demon Emperor’s emergence, he was a god who slaughtered gods and a demon who slew demons.

Never defeated!

Truly invincible. If not for his small influence, with few allies and numerous enemies, it’s hard to imagine the heights the Demon Emperor might reach.

"More than formidable, even the Demon Ancestor holds him in awe. It’s said it’s rare to find someone stronger than him in this world." The Dragon Emperor said with a bitter smile, though he hadn’t personally seen the Demon Emperor, his achievements made him shudder.

Iron Qingtian fell silent, as such an existence was beyond his comprehension.

"I am already being pursued and killed by the Nether King Palace and the Demon Emperor. If I were to seek out his Majesty now, I fear it would only lead to more trouble."

The Dragon Emperor shook his head and smiled, saying that if it were just the Nether King Palace, he would have no fear, but with the Demon Emperor as well, he didn’t believe that Qin and the Great Qin Heavenly Court could withstand the joint forces of the Demon Emperor and the Nether King Palace.

Iron Qingtian sighed helplessly and asked, "What should Uncle Long do next?"

He was no longer the little kid from ten thousand years ago, naturally understanding that the Dragon Emperor’s visit was not simply to lament his troubles.

"Next, I must return to the Central Wasteland, where Qin is still in fierce battle with the Nether King Palace, and I need your support with supplies."

The Dragon Emperor’s gaze was intense as he looked at Iron Qingtian. The Eastern Flame Domain was a significant region, and the Steel Auction House’s status there was incredibly high, controlling wealth comparable to an entire domain.

Without hesitation, Iron Qingtian directly asked, "Uncle Long, how much do you need?"

The Steel Auction House could develop to this day largely due to the Dragon Emperor’s role; had he not deterred Dongfang Ao back then, Iron Qingtian might not have survived to this day.

Dongfang Ao would never allow an economic organization like the Steel Auction House to thrive in his domain, yet in the face of absolute power, he too had to submit.

"The more the better!" the Dragon Emperor said in a deep voice, his eyes filled with a crazed fervor, which made Iron Qingtian shudder.

...

Moonset, sunrise.

Overnight, within ten thousand miles of Dilin Island, every island was abuzz discussing the evening before the banquet of the Ten Domains. The Holy Emperor of Qin’s pressure on the lords of the Nine Domains stirred everyone’s blood.

It was certain that the dwelling of every domain lord was guarded by at least one Taiyi Realm or higher super expert.

Stars faded, and the night passed without incident.

In the central part of Dilin Island was a square built just a few days ago, named the Platform of War. Spanning ten thousand meters, the steps were circular with dozens of levels accommodating millions of people.

At dawn, with the purple energy approaching from the east, the Platform of War was already filled with cultivators and transformed great demons.

Many from the Demon Clan of the Southernmost Sea were willing to submit to Qin Jun, who treated them as his people. As long as they did not cause trouble, they could enjoy the treatment accorded to the Human Clan.

Everyone looked towards the high platform in the north, buzzing with discussion. A dragon throne was placed there, with maids and servants waiting, but Qin Jun was nowhere to be seen.

"It’s starting! The Ten Domains Banquet, this truly is a first in all of eternity!"

"Today will surely be recorded in history!"

"Are those people all domain lords? They really have robust auras!"

"Why hasn’t the Holy Emperor appeared yet?"

"Nonsense, the time has not yet come. Do you expect the Holy Emperor to come out and wait? He is the Supreme Above All!"

The lords of the Nine Domains were seated in a row facing south.

At the moment, their expressions varied, but it was evident that none of them were in a good mood.

Facing over a million cultivators and the Demon Emperor, they inexplicably felt like they were being made spectacles of.

"Hmph! The Holy Emperor of Qin is humiliating us!" Lan Yuji of the Sky Blue Domain scoffed coldly.

Seated beside him was Fang Haidao from the Ziyan Region, who stroked his beard and chuckled, "Not so, not so. Why do you all not consider that the Holy Emperor’s action could also benefit our domains?"

"The God Temple is not particularly prominent among the six temples and three lands, and next to us is the colossal Nether King Palace. The friction between the domains is growing. If we could form an alliance among our domains, it could be feasible, even stronger."

Fang Haidao’s words prompted deep thought among the other domain lords, including Dongfang Ao.

Although Dongfang Ao deeply loathed Qin Jun, he had to admit that the Great Qin Heavenly Court was so powerful that destroying their Eastern Flame Domain wouldn’t be an issue. It was just that the Heavenly Court was short on manpower, which worked against their advantage in conquering the larger domains.

If they were to form an alliance with the Great Qin Heavenly Court, they could rely on its strength in the future.

Lan Yuji muttered gloomily, "How can you be sure that the Holy Emperor of Qin doesn’t want to swallow us whole?"

"If he really wanted to, what could we do about it?" Han Ming from the Hero Domain said irritably, silencing Lan Yuji completely.

Indeed!

If Qin Jun truly wanted to annex their domains, what could they do?

Life is like that thing; if you can’t resist it, just enjoy it...

Fang Haidao lifted his teacup, sipped with a smile, seemingly the most relaxed person present. After witnessing Qin Jun’s tactics the night before, he understood that Qin Jun’s ambitions extended far beyond the Ten Domains. Moreover, the Ziyan Region wasn’t very powerful, so clinging onto the strong was the best choice.

"The Holy Emperor has arrived!"

Just then, Li Yuanba, who stood at the top of the Platform of War, shouted at the top of his lungs. His thunderous voice drowned out the clamor of over a million people, silencing the whole arena.

Beyond the Platform of War, countless people on islands spanning a hundred miles were waiting. Rumors had spread that the Ten Domain Banquet would witness bouts between super-powerful beings, an event that would truly be eye-opening.

Qin Jun ascended the steps and strode up to the high platform, followed by Daji, You Fenghuang, Zhu Yanqing, Li, Wang Xue, Liu Ruolai, and beyond them, powers like Bai Ze and Yang Jian.

Yuan Hong was also among them, clad in a black heavy armor, looking imposing with a face full of excitement.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Qin Jun took his seat in front of the dragon throne, looking out at the teeming and spectacular assembly of over a million people and the Demon Emperor, his heart swelling with pride.

In the future, he planned to host an even more grand banquet!

Where all domains would pay homage, the heaven and the earth would submit!

"Today marks the Ten Domain Banquet, and it is also the first time so many domains have participated. Great Qin Heavenly Court is honored to be the host, presenting the vast grace of heaven and earth, hoping that today’s assembly can become a grand tale for the ages!"

Qin Jun amplified his voice with his magic power, letting it echo across the whole of Dilin Island, stirring the blood of all who heard it.

"First, let’s introduce the participating domains!"

"The Eastern Flame Domain, Lord Dongfang Ao, is acknowledged as the number one domain under the God Temple!"

Qin Jun began the introductions, but such words were harsh to the ears of Dongfang Ao, as if they were mocking him.

"The Sky Blue Domain, Lord Lan Yuji..."

"The Hero Domain, Lord Han Ming..."

Qin Jun introduced them one by one, drawing the gaze of the entire assembly toward the domain lords. Yet the lords’ smiles were strained and some even bore faces clouded with gloom.

Their expressions, seen by the onlookers, seemed coerced, further amplifying their reverence for Qin Jun.

The fact that the domain lords were forced to attend the banquet signified that the Great Qin Heavenly Court had reached a level of power beyond their imagination.
