Chapter 712: Chapter 712: Nether Lord City

"Where is the God and Demon tomb? When will it open?"

Qin Jun shifted the topic, asking. Concerning the development of Great Qin, he did not plan to dig deeper. In the future, Great Qin would simply be a weapon in his hand, to be wielded wherever he pointed.

Everyone has their own opportunities and secrets. Pressing too hard is not beneficial.

Li Si shook his head and said, "Unclear. It’s said that once the God and Demon tomb opens, the entire Central Wilderness will sense it. It seems it will be sometime soon."

Qin Jun nodded. For the time being, he could not find the demon ancestor; it might be a good time to eliminate him when the God and Demon tomb opened!

He could also take the opportunity to unify the demon ruins since they were not far from the Central Wilderness.

"What are your thoughts on the Nether King Palace?" Qin Jun asked with implied depth.

Li Si’s body shook, and he instantly guessed Qin Jun’s intention. Struggling to contain his excitement, he asked, "Your Majesty intends to replace the Nether King Palace?"

The Dragon Emperor, Wang Jian, and Meng Tian all widened their eyes, looking at Qin Jun.

"Correct. We’ll pull the rug out from under the Nether King Palace. It’s best not to spread the news. The Nether King Palace will still be the Nether King Palace, and Great Qin will still be Great Qin. Meanwhile, my Great Qin Heavenly Court and you all will keep a distance," Qin Jun said with a smile. His smile was full of aggressiveness, and the ambition in his words made Li Si and the others feel a surge of passion.

If they succeeded, it would be a major cause!

"The fewer people who know about this matter, the better," Qin Jun said with a light laugh. He paused, then continued, "You four will take Wen Zhong and assist Wen Zhong in ascending to the position of palace lord!"

His team was already public, where Wen Zhong was the only unfamiliar face, which would not raise suspicions. Neither the sword master nor the demon ancestor knew Wen Zhong.

"Do we act now?" Meng Tian asked excitedly.

Qin Jun waved his hand, smiling, "We’ll act after confirming the sword master has left."

The sword master was too strong and could easily eliminate the five of Meng Tian and his group.

"You disperse the cultivators of Great Qin and have them lurk in all corners of the Central Wilderness to collect information for me about the Nether King Palace and the God and Demon tomb!"

"Yes!"

And so, a conspiracy to sweep through the Central Wilderness and the Nether King Palace was born.

...

Seven days quickly passed under the vast Heaven and Earth.

Qin Jun and the others were cultivating near a valley. Tens of thousands of Great Qin cultivators had already departed. Since Wang Ci had died and the Nether King Palace was in chaos, there was naturally no pursuit of them any longer.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Qin Jun repeatedly struck the mountain wall with palms, his Cycle Heavenly Palm making the thousand-feet tall mountain tremble incessantly before him.

"This palm technique is not simple!" Hou Yi said, frowning.

Standing beside him were Yang Jian, Wen Zhong, Bai Ze, Li Si, the Dragon Emperor, Wang Jian, Meng Tian, with the Double-pupil Bird circling high overhead, completely self-entertained.

The Cycle Heavenly Palm was a top-tier Divine Power, no less than the Cycle of Heaven Creation Wheel. Even Hou Yi, perfectly rounded in the Daluo Immortal Realm, could not fully comprehend it.

What seemed like a simple palm strike actually contained infinite power. If used among those of the same rank, it would be an invincible existence.

The Cycle Heavenly Palm not only had terrifying destructive power but, if it struck an enemy, it would also absorb the enemy’s mana for one’s own use, allowing one to grow stronger as the battle went on, never exhausting one’s strength.

Of course, Qin Jun had not disclosed this, even to his most trusted subordinates.

Boom!

Just then, an explosive sound suddenly came from the sky.

Everyone turned their heads, including Qin Jun.

They saw a towering ancient bronze giant city rising in the distance, stirring up dust clouds like a sandstorm, blocking out the sun. Its surface was coated with dirt, and pieces of rock were falling from the city’s surface, like rain pouring down.

Even separated by hundreds of miles, they could still feel its enormity, let alone standing in front of it.

"What is that?" Qin Jun frowned and asked.

At the same time, the ancient bronze megacity had risen ten thousand meters high, beneath it was a vast pit with a diameter of dozens of miles, its depth unfathomable, like the gaping mouth of a primordial ferocious beast, instilling fear in all who looked upon it.

Countless cultivators flew in the sky, most of whom were uplifted from the top of the ancient bronze megacity. They all gaped, speechless at the sight of this magnificent bronze city filled with countless buildings and palaces, their surfaces covered with dust, exuding a sense of ancientness.

An overbearing aura from ancient times ravaged the entire world, with all falling silent.

All the creatures on the edges of the Central Barren could vaguely make it out.

At the top of the ancient bronze city stood a statuesque figure, towering at ten thousand feet, with a human head and a wolf body, it was ghastly and terrifying, overseeing the whole world. Its body was arched like a bow, arms spread out, as if it were ready to battle at any given moment.

"That is God’s Tomb..."

Li Si’s gaze turned vacant as he murmured; whoever saw the ancient bronze city for the first time would be shaken to the core.

Qin Jun included. What kind of flourishing scene must that megacity have been in its heyday?

"Nether Lord City! I never thought it would reappear!" Ji Yongsheng exclaimed in Qin Jun’s mind.

Nether Lord City?

Wasn’t it the tomb of gods and immortals?

Confused, Qin Jun listened as Ji Yongsheng explained, "Indeed, it can be considered the tomb of gods and immortals, mysterious beyond compare. In my era, Nether Lord City occasionally appeared, with unpredictable frequency. Sometimes it would appear once every ten thousand years, other times every few thousand, or even few hundred years. It could even move beneath the earth. Every time, it appeared for a maximum of three days; I have never been there, I’ve only heard about it."

Three days?

Qin Jun realized that in such a short span of time, other major forces in the world simply couldn’t react.

Yet, why had the rumors spread in advance this time?

"The God’s Tomb is the Nether King Palace’s secret; none shall approach!"

Just then, Nether Dream Demon Venerate’s voice suddenly erupted, reaching countless ears. In quick succession, innumerable cultivators from Nether King Palace attacked from all directions, clad in their uniform dark purple palace attire, swarming towards Nether Lord City like locusts.

This scene made many cultivators near Nether Lord City retreat hastily. Even though Nether King Palace had been severely weakened recently, they remained the rulers of the Central Barren.

"That’s God’s Tomb! There are great opportunities inside!"

"Let’s go together! Maybe there’s a chance for immortality in there!"

"Damn Nether King Palace, trying to monopolise resources again!"

"What’s there to be afraid of? Wang Ci is dead, it’s time for a change in Central Barren!"

"A bunch of trash, why retreat? Seek victory amidst danger, charge!"

Many hot-headed cultivators cursed loudly and made the first move towards Nether Lord City, with those closest entering the city first.

From hundreds of miles away, Qin Jun and others watched as cultivators from Nether King Palace converged on Nether Lord City like rolling dark clouds.

"Ding! Forced mission triggered — Seize Control of Nether Lord City! Mission details: Nether Lord City is one of the City of Fate; the system forcefully requires the host to seize Nether Lord City. If successful, the host will gain one opportunity to summon God and Demon, and one chance to summon God and Demon Legion!"

A system notification suddenly sounded, causing Qin Jun to frown.

What is City of Fate?

He had never heard the term before.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Meng Tian asked, barely containing his excitement; he was a warmonger who did not want to miss out.

Yang Jian even took out his War God’s Tri-Point Double-Edged Sword, waiting only for Qin Jun’s command to charge.

"What should we do? Of course, we fight our way through!"

Qin Jun’s mouth turned up, his right hand pointing directly at Nether Lord City, he commanded, "Follow me and seize that giant city!"
