Chapter 670: Chapter 670: Roar of the Torch Dragon

"Remember my name, Six-Eared Macaque; from now on, this name will be your doom!"

The Six-Eared Macaque sneered, its iron staff refracting a chilling cold light in the sunlight.

One after another, the elders and guardians of the God Temple quickly flew out, and even the Black Butterfly Fairy arrived beside Zun Rudao, frowning at the sight of the Six-Eared Macaque.

Her first thought was of Qin Jun because the Six-Eared Macaque looked too much like Sun Wukong. Could it be that this monkey was also here to pledge allegiance to Qin Jun?

If that was really the case, she would truly be at a loss for words.

"Hmph! Arrogant!"

Zun Rudao let out a cold snort and immediately drew out a broadsword, its surface full of green patterns, releasing a daunting sharpness that pierced the sky.

Although he had just entered the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, he was an unparalleled genius in his own right; surmounting opponents above his level wasn’t difficult, especially since the Six-Eared Macaque was also just at the early stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.

"Arrogant? I’ll teach you how to behave right now, Old Man!"

The Six-Eared Macaque said with a taunting laugh, having arrived in this world where very few could match or suppress him, he possessed the capital for arrogance.

As soon as the words fell, he swung his staff toward Zun Rudao.

With incredible speed, Zun Rudao’s pupils contracted, facing the attack head-on, to prevent the Black Butterfly Fairy beside him from being caught in the crossfire.

Clang—

The iron staff clashed with the broadsword, sending sparks flying. Zun Rudao felt a painful vibration in his palms and before he had the chance to counter, the Six-Eared Macaque quickly dodged and positioned himself behind Zun Rudao.

"Die for your grandpa!"

The Six-Eared Macaque said with a ferocious laugh, aiming to crush Zun Rudao’s head with a strike.

In the flash of lightning, a black shield suddenly appeared behind Zun Rudao, blocking the Six-Eared Macaque’s iron staff with brute force.

"What is this..."

The Six-Eared Macaque was moved; he recognized at a glance that the black shield was condensed from magical power, yet its hardness surprised him.

What kind of magic was this?

Could it be Divine Power?

In an instant, the Six-Eared Macaque pondered many possibilities, but Zun Rudao didn’t give him more time to think, counterattacking with a sword slash. The battle-hardened Six-Eared Macaque easily retreated.

Describing it seemed long, but in reality, it all happened within a mere breath.

Seeing Zun Rudao tangled up with the Six-Eared Macaque, Black Butterfly Fairy’s brow furrowed. She looked back unconsciously, not spotting Qin Jun and the others. Perhaps this was truly unrelated to them?

As Zun Rudao and the Six-Eared Macaque let loose and fought with full force, clashing fiercely through the sea of clouds, the tempest they stirred caused the God Temple to tremble.

Qin Jun, who remained inside the grand hall, couldn’t help but curse, "Can’t they give me a moment of peace?"

The Double-pupil Bird on his shoulder chirped along, while Sun Wukong, Luo Shixin, Pipa, and the Ruyi True Immortal all sat inside the hall as well.

Luo Shixin laughed heartily, "Your Majesty, do you want me to go out and settle it?"

He could sense that the two fighting outside were only at the early stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, which was nothing in his eyes.

"Let me do it!" Sun Wukong also volunteered, whereas Pipa showed no interest, and Ruyi True Immortal didn’t dare to offer, for insufficient strength.

Qin Jun waved his hand, "No rush."

The other major forces hadn’t appeared yet; a single Daluo Golden Immortal was enough for the God Temple to handle.

What he anticipated the most now was for the young Torch Dragon to awaken soon. He was curious how powerful it would become after awakening and whether it would still remember him.

The battle lasted a full half-hour before the Six-Eared Macaque withdrew.

Zun Rudao gasped in the air, his face covered in cold sweat. He hadn’t lost this battle, but he was close to exhaustion.

"This guy..."

Staring at the rift in space where the Six-Eared Macaque disappeared, Zun Rudao murmured to himself.

The Torch Dragon had yet to awaken, and the enemy had already sent a powerful opponent who forced him to use all his tricks. Once the Torch Dragon awakened, could the God Temple really withstand the assault?

Black Butterfly Fairy came up to his side and said in a heavy tone, "It looks like this really is a crisis for the God Temple."

She hadn’t expected that even before the Torch Dragon had awakened, a Daluo Golden Immortal would make a strike.

Zun Rudao’s face was overcast as he nodded, his gaze instinctively turning towards the elders and guards and noticing that each one had a look of panic on their face, with some even trembling.

None of them were fools; although the battle between the Six-Eared Macaque and Zun Rudao had been inconclusive, it was quite obvious that the Six-Eared Macaque seemed more at ease.

Perhaps the Six-Eared Macaque hadn’t even used his full strength yet.

"It seems we can only rely on them," Black Butterfly Fairy murmured as she turned to look back at the God Temple.

Zun Rudao shook his head with a wry smile, "I’m afraid he is our greatest enemy."

He paused, then asked seriously, "If he covets the God Temple too, what will you choose to do?"

"I would choose to help him," Black Butterfly Fairy answered without hesitation; she never lied.

Zun Rudao was speechless, the corners of his mouth twitching involuntarily as he said helplessly, "Then why did you have me come back to take up the position of Temple Master? Wouldn’t it be better to let him do it directly?"

"It’s best not to for now," Black Butterfly Fairy shook her head, knowing Qin Jun’s true identity. If he became the Temple Master now, it would attract the attention of the immortals and gods, which would bring endless trouble.

It’s best not to...

So that means it’s possible...

Zun Rudao felt hurt, but he himself wasn’t particularly concerned about the position of Temple Master. A large part of the reason was simply to get revenge on Divine Wuji.

As for the feud between him and Divine Wuji, that was not public knowledge either.

Elsewhere,

Qin Jun dug at his ear and cursed with a smile, "Finally, it’s over!"

He had originally wanted Sun Wukong to fight the Six-Eared Macaque, which would have completed a system task, but he held back.

Defeating the Six-Eared Macaque now would likely draw an even stronger enemy.

Keep a low profile!

"The aura of that Divine Beast is growing stronger and stronger, and it seems it won’t be many days before it awakens," Pipa said. Sun Wukong and Luo Shixin, because of their lower cultivation realms, couldn’t detect the exact location of the little Torch Dragon, but Pipa could.

Qin Jun nodded, not bothering to ask where the Torch Dragon was.

Once the Torch Dragon awakened, it would surely cause an earth-shattering disturbance, and there was no need for him to stir up trouble prematurely.

Immediately after, Qin Jun got up and walked towards his room, saying to himself, "System, restore the Double-pupil Bird to the peak of God and Demon!"

Although he wasn’t sure how strong the Double-pupil Bird would become, it had a full loyalty score, so he wasn’t worried about it betraying him. If it came to it, he would treat it as a wasted opportunity to reach the peak of God and Demon.

After all, he had three chances!

"Ding! The Double-pupil Bird will now be restored to the peak of God and Demon!"

The system notification sounded, raising Qin Jun’s expectation.

He was not only looking forward to the Double-pupil Bird becoming stronger but also hoping that the enemy wouldn’t be too weak!

...

Three days hurried by, and during that time, the entire God Temple was enveloped in a tense atmosphere.

"Roar—" A high-pitched roar erupted, piercing through the entire Divine Realm.

Qin Jun, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out two beams of sharp light.

The Double-pupil Bird on his shoulder did the same. After reaching the peak of God and Demon, the Double-pupil Bird had become even more majestic, its feathers longer, and although they remained colorful, there was more red, making it look as if it was enveloped in flames. Its four pupils had also gained a more imposing presence.

At this moment, it had reached the complete stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm!

It had leapt to become the strongest under Qin Jun’s command.
