Chapter 718: Chapter 718: The Demon Emperor Vs The Sword Master

Donghuang Taiyi?

What the hell!

Qin Jun’s eyes widened in astonishment. How had this big shot appeared here?

As one of the Gods and Demons that had come early, even if Donghuang Taiyi wasn’t at his peak, he was still incredibly powerful.

Taiyi was the earliest Heavenly Emperor worshipped in ancient Huaxia, recorded in countless texts like the Huainanzi, Historical Records, Book of Rites, Zhuangzi, and so on.

In "Songs of Chu: Nine Songs," there is a Chapter titled "Donghuang Taiyi" that reads, "Taiyi, a star’s name, a supreme deity of heaven, whose verse is in the east of Chu, paired with the Eastern Emperor, hence called Donghuang."

In various versions of mythology as well as in the myths of Primordial Chaos that came later, Donghuang Taiyi stood at the pinnacle of the path of Emperors Di.

Based on Qin Jun’s understanding of the system, the Donghuang Taiyi summoned by the system surely came from the Primordial Chaos system.

In the Primordial Chaos system, Donghuang Taiyi was a Demon Emperor, brother to the Demon Emperor Di Jun. Both were born on the sun and belonged to the Three-legged Golden Crows.

Beneath the Saints, he was one of the most powerful, and even Kong Xuan, who was hailed as invincible under the saints in "Investiture of the Gods," might not necessarily be a match for Donghuang Taiyi, of course referring to the peak period of Donghuang Taiyi.

In short, Donghuang Taiyi was the uncle of the Sixth Golden Crow, the former master of Bai Ze, the mortal enemy of Hou Yi and Kua Fu...

Boom!

Hou Yi suddenly unleashed his aura, pulling Qin Jun’s thoughts back from his trance.

"Don’t be rash, are you trying to give your head away?"

Qin Jun hastily stopped Hou Yi, jokingly; even if Donghuang Taiyi was not at his peak, he was not someone Hou Yi could contend with.

He even suspected that there was no one in this realm who could match Donghuang Taiyi.

In just seventeen years, he had established an impressive reputation, even ranking within the top fifty on the Dominance Leaderboard.

"Be rational. Even if you want revenge, you need the strength. Do you want to die a second time?" Bai Ze also spoke up to persuade. Donghuang Taiyi’s appearance had slightly changed her mindset, but she did not think of switching allegiance to him.

In her view, Donghuang Taiyi was a loser, even if he had lived another life.

She saw new hope in Qin Jun; his ambition was no less than that of Donghuang Taiyi, but in management, he showed more benevolence. In the Heaven of Great Qin, at least the Human Clan and the Demon Clan could live together in harmony, unlike under the rule of Donghuang Taiyi, where the Demon Clan fed on the Human Clan, causing countless slaughters.

In the era dominated by Saints, the only Saint of the Demon Clan was Nvwa.

Nvwa’s most famous mythology was the creation of humans, so the Demon Clan’s cannibalism had already strained the relationship between Nvwa and the Demon Clan; even though at the time Nvwa turned a blind eye, she loathed the two sovereigns of the Demon Clan deep down.

Bai Ze did not wish to repeat the past, so in this life, she would not choose Donghuang Taiyi again.

Faced with the counseling of Qin Jun and Bai Ze, Hou Yi gradually calmed down.

Yang Jian stood still, dumbfounded. Had Donghuang Taiyi really come?

Having regained his peak God and Demon memories, he had heard numerous legends about Donghuang Taiyi.

The heavenly court before the Jade Emperor was a Demon Clan heavenly court. The first generation heavenly court in mythology, led by Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, was located above the peak of Holy Mount Buzhou.

For a moment, everyone fell silent. Those who had not regained their past lives’ memories looked at each other in confusion, all sensing the oppressive fear coming from Donghuang Taiyi.

"The pressing matter is to follow me to the central area of Nether Lord City!"

Qin Jun said in a deep voice, then quickly ran ahead. Creepy white shadows struck again, coming from all directions, attempting to engulf Qin Jun, who remained unfazed.

"Scram—"

Yang Jian roared furiously, chopping with his sword. Dragon Emperor, Wen Zhong, Wang Jian, Bai Ze, Meng Tian, and the Double-pupil Bird all took action in turn. Hou Yi shot dozens of arrows rapidly, scattering all the white shadows closest to Qin Jun.

A gust of wind blew Qin Jun’s imperial robe. He looked down slightly and curved the corners of his mouth slightly, feeling quite heartened that, at least, Hou Yi had heeded the advice.

If we go out now, there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance that we’ll clash with Donghuang Taiyi. It’s better to find the life core of Nether Lord City earlier and make the city recognize its master.

The crowd charged swiftly along the street.

Meanwhile, outside Nether Lord City.

All cultivators and demonic beasts looked up at that towering, dominant figure, including Young Master You.

That was a man clad in golden flames, wearing an imperial robe adorned with the pattern of the three-legged Golden Crow, his wild and unrestrained hair flowing in the flames. He had a robust build, strikingly handsome features, and an air of command; the corners of his mouth turned up slightly as if he held no regard for the common people.

Donghuang Taiyi, the Demon Emperor of this age!

Under the dim sky, he was like the sun, radiant and brilliant, drawing the gaze of all living beings.

Even the Sword Master frowned and looked toward him.

"Donghuang Taiyi," the Sword Master murmured with narrowed eyes.

He had met Donghuang Taiyi several years ago. While no conflict had arisen between them, Donghuang Taiyi’s strength was unfathomable, and the Sword Master had listed him as one of the most formidable opponents to be wary of.

"Yo, Sword Master, you’re here too," Donghuang Taiyi turned his head and said with a light smile. His gaze met the Sword Master’s, and murderous intent surged between them. In an instant, the tens of miles of sky they faced began to undulate and distort.

Some demonic beasts and cultivators caught in the middle exploded on the spot, their blood spraying everywhere.

This sight sent chills down the spines of countless creatures.

"The Demon Emperor and the Sword Master... Young Master, we really need to retreat!"

The man in black next to Young Master You said with a trembling voice, clearly panicked.

The Sword Master is a veteran peak powerhouse, traversing heaven and earth, fearless.

The Demon Emperor is a newly-risen supreme leader, dominating the Demon Clan, lawless and unrestrained.

Even if the Nether Emperor were present, he would probably have to give them some courtesy. For Young Master You to think he could still profit from the divine tomb was nothing but a pipe dream.

Young Master You understood this, but he was not willing to give up so easily.

He had already regarded the divine tomb as his own possession, not expecting that various dominant figures would take turns appearing and depriving him of any opportunity to shine.

"Are we really just going to leave like this?"

Young Master You thought bitterly. Although he wouldn’t be blamed if he explained the situation to his father, it wouldn’t sit well with him.

As he hesitated, the Demon Emperor and the Sword Master were still in a standoff.

"I’m just here to take a look and am not interested in the divine tomb," the Sword Master said indifferently, his seven swords sheathed behind him, a sign that he had no intention to fight.

He had no interest conflicts with the Demon Emperor. Ever since he established the Sword Court, he had to consider everything from its perspective.

A rash battle would undoubtedly make enemies.

The Demon Emperor was no ordinary figure; his power was even subtly encroaching the heights of the Six Temples and Three Lands.

"Actually, this emperor is also not interested in the divine tomb. I just wanted to visit the ancestor of the demon,"

Donghuang Taiyi withdrew his killing intent and said with a soft laugh, but his smile still exerted a supreme pressure. The imperial authority radiating from him was so powerful that, below the Daluo Realm, all beings who saw him felt the urge to kneel and worship.

The conversation between the two leaders made other beings dare not act recklessly, even avoiding sneaking into Nether Lord City.

"The demon ancestor has died."

The Sword Master dropped these words and turned to leave, causing Donghuang Taiyi to slightly furrow his thick brows, a flash of unusual color passing through his eyes.
