The Strongest Mythical Emperor

Chapter 662: Chapter 662: Mysterious Demon Emperor

"What, thinking of making a move against me?"

Qin Jun’s tone was chilling as he spoke. Luo Shixin also readied his Qilin Overlord Spear, eying Zun Rudao with a predatory gaze.

The mid-stage pressure of a Daluo Golden Immortal made Zun Rudao’s pupils contract, and the ferocious aura radiating from Sun Wukong filled him with dread.

"How on earth did this guy manage to win over so many powerful beings?" Zun Rudao thought fearfully. His people had investigated and never heard of Luo Shixin.

It seemed that Luo Shixin had probably only joined recently.

Zun Rudao took a deep breath and said, "I was just testing you, otherwise how could I have allowed you the time to react with my speed?"

Indeed, Qin Jun could sense that a Daluo Golden Immortal wouldn’t be so easy to deal with.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, the Black Butterfly Fairy timely introduced Zun Rudao, "This is the Holy Emperor of Qin from the Great Qin Heaven Court, and these two are the Holy Emperor’s generals, Sun Wukong and Luo Shixin."

Hearing this, Zun Rudao curiously looked at Sun Wukong and asked, "So you are the Supreme Heaven Great Sage!"

The name of the Supreme Heaven Great Sage had already spread across at least ten domains, and within the God Temple, it was as well-known as thunder, for he had defeated Divine Wuji!

Although Zun Rudao had become the new temple master, his prestige couldn’t compare to that of Divine Wuji, so he was very concerned about Sun Wukong.

"Hmph!" Sun Wukong scoffed disdainfully, showing no regard for Zun Rudao’s face.

Qin Jun directly asked, "Where is your Divine Beast? May I take a look first?"

It had been a long time since he last saw the Torch Dragon, and he wondered how it was doing now.

Zun Rudao shook his head and said, "It is currently in slumber, inheriting the primal memories. Disturbing it now would doom its future prospects."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun had no choice but to let it go; waiting a few more days wouldn’t hurt.

"In recent days, subordinates of the Demon Ancestor and the Demon Emperor have been infiltrating the god realms. If you discover them, I hope you can help eliminate them," Zun Rudao said, taking a deep breath before bowing to Qin Jun.

Demon Ancestor, Demon Emperor?

Qin Jun raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is the Demon Emperor that strong?"

He had already made an enemy of the Demon Ancestor, and it seemed he was about to provoke the Demon Emperor, but he wasn’t afraid.

"The Demon Emperor has risen to power in the last dozen years or so. His strength is formidable. He has established a vast influence within the Demon Clan and is also at odds with the Demon Ancestor. They are both probably vying to obtain our Divine Beast to suppress the other," Zun Rudao explained, prompting Qin Jun to raise an eyebrow.

A dozen years?

Could it be...

All of a sudden, Qin Jun thought of a possibility, and with the name of the Demon Emperor in mind, he couldn’t help but feel a shiver of dread, silently praying, "System, don’t play with me. If this Demon Emperor really is that person, what then? Even Tathāgata might have to step aside..."

"Whether it’s the Demon Emperor or the Demon Ancestor, they are both formidable. We must prepare early and also be vigilant against other major powers," the Black Butterfly Fairy said, and Zun Rudao nodded in agreement.

The God Temple was in an awkward position, with few top-tier combatants because it had been established for too short a time.

It was unclear who had leaked the news about the Torch Dragon, drawing the covetous eyes of various forces. Without Qin Jun’s assistance, they really had no confidence in protecting the Torch Dragon.

However, Zun Rudao had not anticipated that Qin Jun was also eyeing the Torch Dragon.

"Now that we have met, I will take them to their lodgings first," Black Butterfly Fairy said as she walked towards the main gate.

Qin Jun casually glanced at Zun Rudao, then followed Black Butterfly Fairy, along with Sun Wukong and Luo Shixin.

Zun Rudao frowned deeply, feeling a hint of murderous intent from Qin Jun’s glance.

"It seems I need to be wary of this young man," Zun Rudao thought to himself, also very curious about the relationship between Black Butterfly Fairy and Qin Jun. He could tell that she treated Qin Jun differently from others.

She might even choose Qin Jun over Divine Wuji.

Could it be that Qin Jun was a new disciple taken by Black Butterfly Fairy?

Zun Rudao thought more and more about the murky waters, fearing that the awakening of the Torch Dragon would be a tempest.

"Hmph, I could just abandon the God Temple!" Zun Rudao muttered to himself. The reason he returned to become the temple leader was at the invitation of the Black Butterfly Fairy; otherwise, he really had no desire to come back and clean up this mess.

...

Below the white clouds, mountain ranges stretched out like Azure Dragons lying across the surface of the earth.

A Demon Clan army was on the move. Looking as far as the eye could see, there were at least hundreds of thousands of demon beasts, a dark mass that resembled a deluge.

Leading the front were two great demons, among them none other than the Demon King of Bull. He was clad in heavy armor, exuding a kingly aura all around him.

"North Lion King, do you think we can accomplish our mission this time?" the Demon King of Bull asked, standing next to him was a lion king, no less imposing in stature, with a white mane and dressed in white stone armor, carrying a huge battle-axe on his back.

The North Lion King had lost his left eye, and the scar that stretched from his forehead to his cheek was truly a sight to behold.

The Demon King of Bull, standing beside the North Lion King, seemed a little less imposing, as the North Lion King was a mighty Daluo Golden Immortal.

"We must succeed!" the North Lion King spoke firmly, his ferocious right eye fixed on the Cangqiong ahead as if he had already seen the God Temple.

Their mission this time was indeed to seize the Torch Dragon from the God Temple.

And their lord was the Demon Emperor himself.

The Demon King of Bull nodded, his anxiety clear. "If the Demon Ancestor makes a move himself..."

The Demon King of Bull, as it stands, had been frightened by his defeats. He had lost twice in front of the Great Qin Heavenly Court, and later, while being pursued by the Night Emperor, was fortunate enough to be taken in by the Demon Emperor.

"Hmph, if the Demon Ancestor dares to make a move himself, then the Demon Wasteland will be in danger!" the North Lion King snorted, seemingly fierce but with his own insights.

Upon hearing this, the Demon King of Bull immediately understood.

The Demon Ancestor had lived for who knows how many years, making too many powerful enemies, especially now that the Human Clan had become the protagonists of this great world, and the Demon Ancestor’s actions were greatly constrained.

"One day, I will reach their heights too!" the Demon King of Bull’s eyes sparkled, and he vowed inwardly.

The feeling of being under someone else’s roof was suffocating for him.

Just then, an overwhelming aura came from ahead, startling the Demon King of Bull, causing even the North Lion King to narrow his eyes.

"Yo, you must be the underlings of the Demon Emperor, right?"

A mocking laugh echoed through heaven and earth, causing the Demon Clan army to instantly halt, as everyone drew their weapons and warily scanned their surroundings.

The Demon King of Bull too slowly drew out a pitch-dark and menacing great scimitar, a powerful gift from the Demon Emperor.

The North Lion King demanded in a deep voice, "Who’s the coward hiding in the shadows? Show yourself at once!"

As he spoke, the huge axe on his back began to tremble slightly.

Whoosh! A figure leaped over from a mountain on the horizon, and it turned out to be the Six-Eared Macaque.

Carrying an iron rod, the Six-Eared Macaque floated in mid-air above the North Lion King and the Demon King of Bull, challenging, "I want to see if the underlings of the Demon Emperor are strong enough!"

This time, coming to fight for the Torch Dragon, the Demon Ancestor had given another mission: to eliminate all the underlings of the Demon Emperor!

Upon hearing this, the North Lion King became enraged. With a shrug of his shoulders, the giant axe on his back flew out, spiraling towards the Six-Eared Macaque.

The Six-Eared Macaque did not dodge, swinging his rod to smash it down.

Clang—

The giant axe was knocked back, and the Six-Eared Macaque also retreated hundreds of yards, the fierce winds generated causing many demon soldiers to stumble and fall to the ground.
