The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 709: The Peak Hou Yi

Chapter 709: Chapter 709: The Peak Hou Yi

"What kind of Divine Power can force someone to become stronger?"

Bai Ze couldn’t help but ask. In the court of Great Qin, she had heard numerous such rumors and had been itching with curiosity.

The others also looked at Qin Jun curiously. To this, Qin Jun replied vaguely, "This Divine Power is somewhat related to reincarnation. It can allow certain people to return to their strongest state in reincarnation, but the price I have to pay is also enormous."

The peak of God and Demon would sooner or later become impossible to conceal. Vaguely revealing a bit could plant a thought in the hearts of people like the Dragon Emperor.

However, the Dragon Emperor was none other than the White Dragon and it would probably be impossible for him to return to the peak of God and Demon since he never reached the Daluo Golden Immortal level in mythology.

If the netizens of Huaxia were to know that the White Dragon was actually stronger than Yang Jian, they would definitely berate Qin Jun to death.

"After Hou Yi returns tomorrow, you’ll all see a brand new him!"

Qin Jun said with a light chuckle. How could Hou Yi, one of the ancient gods, be weak?

Even within the Primordial Chaos system, Hou Yi was considered a Great Witch, second only to the primal witches among the Witch Clan.

"Your Majesty, what are your plans next?" Yang Jian asked through gritted teeth.

He hadn’t taken such a loss in a long time and was not willing to accept this!

Qin Jun snorted coldly, speaking in a chilling tone, "First, we find Meng Tian and the others, then we seek revenge from the Demon Ancestor. If we can’t even kill the Demon Ancestor, how are we to face Tathāgata?"

Upon hearing this, both the Dragon Emperor and Wang Jian were greatly excited, while Li Si wore a bitter smile. In his view, challenging the Demon Ancestor was not wise.

However, Bai Ze didn’t think so; she could see that Qin Jun was very confident.

She did not like her lord to be weak. Qin Jun’s dominance was something she admired, and she couldn’t help but think that if Qin Jun could achieve the heights of the Demon Emperor and Demon Sovereign, he would be even more audacious. He might even dare to trample on the saints.

"Everyone, rest well."

Qin Jun chuckled lightly, then sat cross-legged to begin practicing his cultivation method.

One’s own strength is key. As the enemies he encountered became increasingly powerful, he had to improve his own strength as quickly as possible.

The battle with the Demon Ancestor and the Sword Master today made him realize that Great Qin’s Heavenly Court was still as insignificant as ants in front of a real strong adversary.

Not to mention the gods and immortals who overlook heaven and earth, there’s also the Ancient Immortal Realm beyond the skies.

...

The next day, early in the morning, Wen Zhong arrived, startling everyone awake from their cultivation state.

Wen Zhong was clad in iron armor with a brown-yellow cape, his burly figure and firm face making him seem to be in his forties or fifties. He had an additional eye on the center of his forehead, and he looked stern and authoritative. He rode a fierce-looking dark Qilin.

"Wen Zhong!"

Yang Jian was startled and hurriedly took out his God of War Tri-point Double-Edged Sword, ready for battle at any moment.

Wen Zhong?

Li Si, Wang Jian, and the Dragon Emperor all felt that the name sounded familiar, but it was a matter of a past life, and besides, they had spent ten thousand years in this realm, making it difficult to remember the details of their former lives.

"I, Wen Zhong, have come to pledge my allegiance to the Holy Emperor, Your Majesty!"

Wen Zhong dismounted and knelt on one knee before Qin Jun.

Qin Jun held Wen Zhong in high esteem; this was someone capable in both literature and martial arts.

"Hahaha, Wen Zhong, I have finally waited for your arrival. Rise," said Qin Jun as he personally helped Wen Zhong to his feet, while the rest watched him warily.

This man possessed the cultivation of the Golden Immortal Realm and was not to be underestimated.

"Another Golden Immortal has come to join us?" Bai Ze’s mouth twitched. Due to the system’s manipulation, all these gods and demons felt, in the dark, that following Qin Jun would bring them great opportunities.

With their worldview, they couldn’t connect to the system, or rather, in their minds, there was no such thing as a system at all, so they took these inexplicable feelings as real fate.

They were fated to be with Qin Jun.

Afterward, Qin Jun introduced everyone to each other. Yang Jian looked at Wen Zhong with displeasure, but Wen Zhong did not remember him, so there was no conflict between the two.

"Your Majesty, whom are you waiting for?" Wen Zhong asked with confusion. He was already here, so why were Qin Jun and the others still calmly waiting in the original place?

He had heard that Qin Jun and his people had just killed Wang Ci of the Central Wilderness.

Why hadn’t they fled yet?

Qin Jun brushed off the leaves from his royal robe and said with a soft laugh, "We’re waiting for a great general to arrive."

A great general?

Could he be even more formidable than me?

Wen Zhong felt a touch of unwillingness in his heart. From Qin Jun’s words and actions, he could deduce that the person they were waiting for was most likely more formidable than him.

He scanned over Bai Ze and the others; except for the Dragon Emperor, whose cultivation was inscrutable to him, Li Si, Wang Jian, and Bai Ze were all at the early stages of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, just like himself, and Yang Jian was only at the late stage of the Taiyi Xuan Immortal Realm. He simply ignored the Imperial Guards.

Qin Jun’s Double-pupil Bird perched on his shoulder was also disregarded by Wen Zhong. Although the bird was divine and magnificent, it was, after all, just a bird.

"Ding! Hou Yi has already restored to the peak of God and Demon!"

Just then, the system notification sounded.

Qin Jun was immediately surprised and delighted, hastily urging the system in his mind to pull up Hou Yi’s attribute list.

"Hou Yi, from ancient mythology!"

"Identity: Great Witch!"

"Cultivation: Perfect Completion of the Daluo Immortal Realm!"

"Cultivation method: Witch God Mnemonic!"

"Magical artifact: Shooting Sun God Bow!"

"Divine Power: Body of the Great Witch! Heaven-breaking God Arrow!"

"Loyalty: 65 (full value 100)!"

Damn!

Perfect completion of the Daluo Immortal Realm!

Qin Jun’s face was filled with incredulity, and his reaction made everyone else go on guard, thinking a powerful enemy had arrived.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Yang Jian opened his third eye and asked softly, surveying the surroundings with his three eyes.

Qin Jun did not answer him but instead rubbed his eyes. After all, apart from himself, no one could see the attribute list.

He hadn’t expected that after Hou Yi restored to the pinnacle of God and Demon, he would actually reach the Perfect Completion of the Daluo Immortal Realm!

Damn it!

This was totally the rhythm for thrashing the Demon Emperor!

However, he suddenly realized that Hou Yi’s loyalty had actually dropped to sixty-five, which was not a good sign!

Just then, a black hole appeared above his head, and an overwhelmingly strong presence seeped out, causing Yang Jian and the others to change their expressions drastically, as if facing a great enemy.

"This presence..." The Dragon Emperor clenched his teeth.

They thought it was either the Sword Master or the Demon Emperor who had come to attack.

Hou Yi slowly stepped out from the black hole. His hair was disheveled, and his figure seemed even more upright than before. His muscles exuded an almost explosive power, and his presence stirred up strong winds circling around him like a tornado, which astonished Qin Jun and the others, making them quickly retreat.

Once he fully emerged, the black hole rapidly shrank and disappeared.

"Roarrrrrrrrr——I, Hou Yi, am back!"

Hou Yi roared, causing the entire forest to shake violently. The dust moved away like shockwaves in all directions.

Qin Jun hastily covered his ears, and the rest looked at Hou Yi in fear.

"How is this possible..." Li Si said with a trembling voice.

Wen Zhong was dumbfounded, the presence of Hou Yi made him feel cold inside. Could this be the strong general that His Majesty was waiting for?

All of Central Wasteland was in an uproar; every creature could hear Hou Yi’s roar.

"Sss... such a voice..."

"My heavens! Who is Hou Yi?"

"Such a strong presence, how is this possible!"

"Could he be a Daluo Golden Immortal?"

"Impossible! This presence is even stronger than a Daluo Golden Immortal!"

Countless beings exclaimed in awe, as Hou Yi’s cathartic roar, as if proclaiming the arrival of a king, bore a compelling force, impacting the soul.
