Chapter 671: Chapter 671: Corpse Emperor Palace

"The day has finally come!"

Qin Jun rose to his feet, taking the Double-pupil Bird out of the room and into the grand hall.

Pipa, Luo Shixin, Sun Wukong, and the True Immortal of Ruyi were already waiting for him. Seeing him emerge, they all respectfully saluted.

"This Double-pupil Bird..."

After making eye contact with the four eyes of the Double-pupil Bird, everyone felt a huge shock.

In the past three days, Qin Jun had hardly left the house, so they did not know that the Double-pupil Bird had reached the pinnacle of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.

Qin Jun’s smile was buoyant as he said with a spirited laugh, "Let’s go. Set off and let all factions see your might!"

After speaking, he walked towards the main gateway.

He regarded the war to protect the Torch Dragon as a chessboard for the struggles amongst various powers. Although he had not yet seen the other forces, he could feel that the godly realm was under scrutiny.

The group of four followed behind Qin Jun, all full of excitement.

Elsewhere.

At the highest point of the God Temple, thunderclouds gathered. Zun Rudao, the Black Butterfly Fairy, and a group of elders circled around a high tower, all with tense expressions.

Countless guards of the God Temple were positioned around, and a golden light screen rose from below the clouds, instantly covering the entire God Temple castle.

This was the strongest formation of the God Temple, the Wu Jin Defence Array!

"Today’s matter concerns the life and death of the God Temple; everyone must stand at the ready!"

Zun Rudao declared solemnly, his voice clearly reaching everyone’s ears and tensing them up.

After speaking, he turned to the Black Butterfly Fairy and asked in a low voice, "Where are the Holy Emperor of Qin and his group?"

"Over there!"

The Black Butterfly Fairy pointed downward, where Qin Jun and his group stood on a plaza in front of a palace three thousand meters below, looking up at them.

Seeing Qin Jun and the others appear, Zun Rudao breathed a sigh of relief; he could feel that the crisis was fast approaching.

At that moment, the tower they surrounded trembled more violently, and the roaring sound from within grew louder.

Boom—

Huge thunderbolts struck out from the rolling thunderclouds, threatening to reduce the entire God Temple to ashes.

Zun Rudao was filled with anxiety. The Torch Dragon was considered the temple’s greatest treasure, one that the Black Butterfly Fairy had brought from a forbidden place and taken over ten thousand years to hatch. It had unfortunately been stolen by a minor demon during an invasion by the Demon Ancestor but was fortunately recovered promptly.

The Torch Dragon was the subject of many legends in the world and was even written about in ancient texts as a creation god.

Who leaked the information about the Torch Dragon was unknown, but today the God Temple faces the gravest crisis since its founding, even risking total destruction.

More and more guards flew out from the God Temple castle.

"Hurry! Today, we either die together or survive together!"

A burly and robust man roared into the void, mobilizing the temple guards. He wasn’t alone; the same urgency prevailed in front of the other gates.

The God Temple castle was guarded by no less than a million people, the least of whom was at the Earth Immortal Realm.

Apart from the guards, enforcers, officers, and various department heads also emerged, their cultivation levels varying greatly, but most were Taiyi Realm powerhouses. Even the envoy Marquis Zihan, who was formerly dispatched to the Southern Domain casually, was of the Taiyi Scattered Immortal Realm, reflecting the daunting overall strength of the God Temple.

Qin Jun and his companions stood in place, watching with interest as the temple guards dashed about.

"There are many strong surges of demon energy approaching," Sun Wukong said with squinted eyes. Qin Jun looked and saw that the space of the godly realm was slightly fluctuating, coupled with the twilight-like sky, giving off an illusory and aesthetically pleasing sensation.

Beneath the beauty, danger always lurks.

Qin Jun nodded, then crossed his legs and sat down, quietly waiting for the forces from various factions to make their entrance.

"Hahaha! Such a Divine Beast is certainly not something your God Temple can control!"

An explosive laugh shattered the silence, followed by the tearing open of a space within the divine domain, as the North Lion King and Demon King of Bull, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers, charged in.

This sight caused Zun Rudao and the others to frown deeply.

"North Lion King, I didn’t expect the Demon Emperor to send you!" Zun Rudao said through gritted teeth. Although the Demon Emperor had only risen to power over a span of a decade or so, he had conquered numerous powerful beings, including the renowned North Lion King.

Qin Jun, however, was surprised to see the Demon King of Bull. What was he doing here?

"Big brother!"

Sun Wukong and the Ruyi Jinxian exclaimed in unison, drawing the distant Demon King of Bull’s subconscious glance toward them. At this moment, the Demon King of Bull had not regained his memories of previous lives, but he still remembered his brother Ruyi Jinxian; after all, they were family.

"Why is he here..."

The Demon King of Bull furrowed his brow. He did not respond, for if he did, Ruyi Jinxian would surely draw the North Lion King’s attention, possibly becoming a weak point for the Demon Emperor to exploit.

"Yo, Zun Rudao, you really became the Lord of the God Temple. Is this little fella even qualified?" the North Lion King scoffed, causing Zun Rudao’s complexion to darken.

Just then, on another side of the God Temple castle, a black hole appeared and rapidly expanded.

Immediately after, the Six-Eared Macaque and three great demon kings stepped out from it, followed by an indeterminable number of demon troops.

"Tsk, a defeated subordinate daring to vie for the Torch Dragon?" The Six-Eared Macaque laughed arrogantly, the look on the North Lion King’s face twisted with fury in an instant.

Zun Rudao and the others were shocked. The North Lion King had been defeated by this impertinent monkey?

Three days ago, the Six-Eared Macaque had caused quite a stir, but had ended in a stalemate with Zun Rudao. Now hearing that he had defeated the old and powerful North Lion King, everyone felt frightened.

"That monkey..."

Sun Wukong furrowed his brows. The moment he saw the Six-Eared Macaque, he felt as if he was facing a natural enemy. He suddenly remembered what Yuan Hong had once told him about a monkey with six ears, very strong.

Qin Jun glanced at him and chuckled softly, "Stay calm, the Six-Eared Macaque will be yours to deal with later!"

The Six-Eared Macaque?

Sun Wukong’s eyes flickered. Beside him, Luo Shixin immediately objected, calling out, "I want to fight too!"

Qin Jun waved his hand, "Don’t worry, there will be no shortage of opponents!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than another spatial rift appeared within another part of the God Temple, with stone coffins flying out from it, tendrils of demon energy seeping through the cracks.

This spectacle caused the North Lion King, Zun Rudao, and others to stir simultaneously.

"How is this possible, the Corpse Emperor Palace has come too!"

The Black Butterfly Fairy cried out in shock, clearly this was beyond her expectations.

The stone coffin at the forefront, five meters long, suddenly snapped open, and a pitch-black figure slowly stood up. He was clad in a blood-veined black robe, his hair luxuriously long, his skin deathly pallid, his facial features sharply defined, yet his pupils were an icy white, chilling to behold.

"The thirteen princes of the Corpse Emperor Palace, Peng Zhitian!"

Zun Rudao said through clenched teeth, his senior elders trembling behind him.

The Corpse Emperor Palace was far stronger than the God Temple. Among its thirteen princes, the least powerful were also at the peak of the Taiyi Mysterious Immortal Realm, with over half of them reaching the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, and Peng Zhitian was one of them.

"Middle phase of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm!"

Pipa murmured those seven words, prompting Qin Jun to scrutinize Peng Zhitian, who exuded an aura of death.

With his arrival, both the North Lion King and the Six-Eared Macaque fell silent.

Stone coffins behind Peng Zhitian successively opened, totaling one hundred coffins. Figures in black robes stood up, all strong beings of the Taiyi Realm, their combined presence casting a hush over the entire divine domain.
