Chapter 732: The Birth of Emperor Shun

Chapter 732: Chapter 732: The Birth of Emperor Shun

"System, does Xiang Yu have a background? If not, summon again!"

Qin Jun asked in his mind while he, along with Yang Jian and Yang Chan, stepped out of the tower. The trio took to the sky and swiftly flew towards the eastern city gate, where the silhouettes of Demon Clan soldiers already filled the ramparts.

"This Xiang Yu is the reincarnation of Emperor Shun."

The system answered, brightening Qin Jun’s eyes.

The legends of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were known to all Huaxia People—these were the ancestors of the Huaxia!

Perhaps in mythology, the Five Emperors weren’t as esteemed as the Three Sovereigns, but they were still ancient sages whose deaths were enshrined with virtue—surely extremely powerful.

"Then, summon Xiang Yu, but do not restore his past life’s memories!"

Qin Jun urged in his mind, and at the same time, they reached the city gate.

Hou Yi, Bai Ze, Six-Eared Macaque, Wen Zhong, Li Si, Ying Feng, Yang Ren, and Zhenwu Emperor were already standing on the city wall. Following their gaze, one could see that the horizon was a dense mass of black. Upon closer inspection, it was all Demon Clan soldiers, a vast and innumerable throng.

In the rear of the Demon Clan army, amidst the wild winds and sand, stood a colossal, blurry figure thousands of feet high. It was Donghuang Taiyi, resembling Pangu the Great God descending to the mortal realm. It was a tremendous visual shock that, invisibly, imposed great pressure on King Yan City, inducing tight nerves.

"Donghuang Taiyi."

Qin Jun muttered through gritted teeth. The name caused Bai Ze, Hou Yi, Yang Jian, Yang Chan, Zhenwu Emperor, Yang Ren, and others to show a change in expression.

Ying Feng felt the same, and his million-strong Yingzhao Demon Army was also in turmoil.

Although the Yingzhao Demon Army had Yingzhao as its leader, the highest authority was Donghuang Taiyi.

But Donghuang Taiyi clearly had not regained his past life’s memories, not recognizing his former subordinates and enemies.

"No, that is not Donghuang’s true body!"

Bai Ze said somberly. Qin Jun turned to her and asked, "What is it then? A split body?"

"No, just a strand of divine soul." Bai Ze shook her head. "Your Majesty, if you wish to remain incognito, we must retreat now and secretly instruct Li Si and the others."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun almost forgot that important point. He immediately withdrew, accompanied by Yang Jian, Hou Yi, and Bai Ze.

The Double-pupil Bird circling the sky was also called back by Qin Jun.

The Demon Emperor’s army was getting closer to King Yan City.

Leading the advance was a terrifying giant demon standing thirty feet tall with a human body and bull’s head, clad in blood-veined heavy armor with black fur, and a hideous bull’s head. One of his horns was broken in half, adding to his ferocious appearance. In his right hand, he held a massive axe, making the ground tremble with each step.

Behind him followed ten Demon Kings, among them the Demon King of Bull.

"I am Man Hui, a general under the Demon Emperor. The master of King Yan Palace, show yourself!"

The giant horned demon bellowed angrily, his voice booming like thunder. It turned into visible sound waves, assaulting King Yan City.

Li Si, annoyed in secret, called out loudly, "King Yan Palace has no quarrel with the Demon Emperor; why send a large army here?"

Zhenwu Emperor, Six-Eared Macaque, Yang Ren, and Yang Chan all took out their magical treasures, ready for battle.

At the same time, the statues of Wolf Demons on either side of King Yan City quickly came to life, leaping into the air and landing two thousand meters in front of the Demon Clan’s grand army. Their bodies visibly grew taller, causing Man Hui’s pupils to shrink.

"Could this be the legendary Wolf Demons from the God’s Tomb that has been so hotly discussed recently?" Man Hui thought with fear.

As a Daluo advanced Immortal, Man Hui ranked among the top three under the Demon Emperor, but he felt inexplicably intimidated by the two Wolf Demons.

"The Demon Ancestor and the Demon Emperor both belong to the Demon Clan, and their territories are adjacent. King Yan Palace has killed the Demon Ancestor, and our Demon Emperor naturally cannot turn a blind eye!"

Man Hui said in a deep voice, his mind however racing with other thoughts.

Donghuang Taiyi had sent him to lead the grand army against King Yan City, not to slaughter the city but to ally with King Yan Palace. As for the reason, he could not fathom. In his view, Donghuang Taiyi alone was more than enough to dominate ten King Yan Palaces, which is why he felt quite irked.

But with the Demon Emperor’s command, he had to obey. Since the goal was to recruit King Yan Palace, he had first to suppress one side.

Better to have them as a dog than as an ally!

"Ridiculous, the open and covert struggle between the Demon Emperor and the ancestor of the Demon Clan, who in the world doesn’t know?" Li Si sneered, as he also noticed that Man Hui seemed somewhat afraid of the ethereal Wolf Demon.

Below the city walls, Bai Ze shook his head with a smile, "It seems that the Demon Emperor is merely bluffing."

Qin Jun, however, frowned in confusion and said, "What exactly is Donghuang Taiyi’s intention? Why doesn’t he take action himself?"

Hou Yi and Yang Jian also looked puzzled.

"Perhaps it’s because of..." Bai Ze hinted profoundly, pointing to the sky while speaking.

Immortals and gods?

Or maybe Heavenly Dao?

Qin Jun’s brows furrowed deeper. What exactly was Donghuang Taiyi scheming?

"If you send someone to defeat me, I will represent the Demon Emperor to forget the past grievances and even form an alliance with you. Otherwise, King Yan Palace will be erased from this world!"

Man Hui said with a cold laugh, pausing for a moment before continuing, "You must not use those two Wolf Demons. If King Yan Palace is standing on the foundation of the Divine Tomb, wouldn’t it be the laughingstock of the world?"

These words caused an uproar in King Yan City.

How intimidating was Man Hui’s presence? Without Qin Jun and the others showing themselves and with the ethereal Wolf Demons not taking action, who could defeat him?

The Six-Eared Macaque gritted his teeth. He wanted to volunteer to fight, but he was just at the early stage of the Golden Immortal Realm of Daluo. Man Hui’s aura chilled him to the bone; he had no courage to speak up.

At the early stage of the Immortal Realm of Daluo, Man Hui killing a Six-Eared Macaque at the early stage of the Golden Immortal Realm would be a matter of one axe!

Without Hou Yi taking action, who could defeat a great immortal of Daluo?

"Damn! This guy is too arrogant!"

Qin Jun cursed under his breath, wondering whether to let Hou Yi fire a sneaky arrow?

The name of Hou Yi was already renowned throughout the land; after all, there were too few who practiced archery, let alone someone who could instantly kill an ancestor of the Demon Clan.

"You may send several at once to face me!"

Man Hui laughed wildly, his tone filled with contempt. This made the demon kings and soldiers behind him shout along, their combined voices shaking heaven and earth.

"Arrogant!"

Zhenwu Emperor snorted coldly and stepped into the void, heading straight forward.

Seeing this, the Six-Eared Macaque also gritted his teeth and flew forth. Zhenwu Emperor was his guest, so how could he let a newcomer show off!

Yang Chan, without a second word, flew out too. Yang Ren’s face shifted between shades, as Man Hui’s aura was simply too terrifying, so mighty that it drained him of any desire to fight.

"Well met!"

Man Hui sneered as he took up his huge axe and charged wildly forward, his ten-foot-tall figure like a small mountain, exuding an unstoppable momentum.

The Demon King of Bull watched nervously. With Hou Yi not taking action, things looked bad.

On the desolate plain, the powerhouses from both sides quickly struck at each other.

The two ethereal Wolf Demons stood silently in place, overlooking the battle, while the Demon Emperor’s army shouted and cheered for Man Hui.

"Foul monster! Stop your madness!"

Zhenwu Emperor, with the Martial Snake Sword in his right hand and the Black Turtle Shield in his left, led the way at incredible speed. His figure soared like a rainbow, with the sword light emitting a piercing chill in the void.

Clang—

The Martial Snake Sword struck Man Hui’s giant axe, sparks flying everywhere. The earth under Man Hui’s feet also collapsed, but his face bore an easy smile.

The gap between the early stage of the Great Immortal Realm of Daluo and the complete stage of the Golden Immortal Realm may seem like a minor difference, but in reality, it is as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.
