The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 803

Chapter 803: 803

Groggy and disoriented, Li Qing slowly opened his eyes to the sight of pitch-black wall panels.

"You’re finally awake,"

the haunting voice of Qin Jun startled Li Qing, causing him to jump, but the next second, he found himself wrapped in iron chains, completely devoid of any magical power within his body.

"Stop struggling, you’re now nothing more than a mortal. I ask you, is the person who came with you truly a God or Demon?"

Qin Jun sat casually on a golden chair in front of the prison cell, his voice gentle, yet even in his laziness, the Nine Dragons Supreme Emperor’s robe he wore exerted an immense pressure.

Bai Ze and the Mother of Golden Light stood on his left and right, looking indifferently at Li Qing.

"What do you want to do? I am an elder of the Celestial Chosen Mansion!" Li Qing stated gravely.

The Celestial Chosen Mansion not only represented the will of Gods and Demons but also gathered the qi movement of this heaven and earth.

The attack on Celestial Chosen Mansion by the Cataclysmic Demon Emperor was bound to invoke the wrath of the heavens, which was why Li Qing was unafraid of the Great Qin Celestial Court, even though he was now a prisoner at their mercy.

"What of the Celestial Chosen Mansion? What of being an elder?" Qin Jun scoffed coldly; this fellow had brought a God or Demon to the Great Qin Celestial Court, clearly with ill intentions.

As he finished speaking, he raised his right hand, forcing a drop of essence blood from his index finger, launching it toward Li Qing.

It was the Myriad Tribulations Sacrificial Worm he had not used in a long time.

Gifted to him by the Black Butterfly Fairy, the essence blood transformed by the Myriad Tribulations Sacrificial Worm, once it entered the body, would place the life of the implanted individual entirely in Qin Jun’s hands.

"What do you want to do?" Li Qing, feeling an inexplicable unease, hurriedly asked.

Qin Jun remained silent, manipulating the essence blood to drop directly onto Li Qing’s face, where it instantly entered through the skin.

The next moment, Li Qing’s pupils constricted, his heartbeat quickened, and a pain like no other suddenly surged from within, causing him to fall to the ground, convulsing.

This scene sparked curiosity in both Bai Ze and the Mother of Golden Light.

Even Bai Ze, who was in the early stages of the Daluo-level Luoshi Immortal Realm, could not understand it, and as for divining, Qin Jun was to her like a behemoth, making her vomit blood with every attempt to calculate.

"Ah—"

The convulsing Li Qing suddenly threw his head back and let out a scream, soaked in sweat, his veins bulging, painting a picture of extreme agony.

With a mere thought from Qin Jun, the pain that Li Qing felt receded like a tide.

At this moment, a connection was established between Qin Jun and Li Qing, where a single thought from Qin Jun could scatter Li Qing’s soul.

One must understand that even while being a Daluo-level Supreme Immortal like Li Qing could not escape the harm of the Myriad Tribulations Sacrificial Worm.

If it were normal times, Li Qing could have used his powers to defend himself, but now, having been forced to consume the poison Qin Jun had exchanged from the Mythology Mall, his powers were temporarily scattered, and the Myriad Tribulations Sacrificial Worm could not even enter his body, let alone infiltrate his spirit and soul.

"From now on, your life is in my hands," Qin Jun declared, his eyes narrowed.

Li Qing, who lay gasping on the ground, looked up at Qin Jun, his eyes bloodshot and his entire face flushed red, making it hard to imagine the extent of pain he had endured.

"Who exactly are you..." Li Qing asked through gritted teeth, still not giving up hope, believing that once he returned to the Celestial Chosen Mansion, he could remove the Myriad Tribulations Sacrificial Worm.

"I am the Holy Emperor of Qin. Have you heard of me?" Qin Jun asked quietly.

When dealing with enemies, he was anything but lenient.

Li Qing had brought Chu Juhuai to the Great Qin Celestial Court; even if he was acting under orders, he was directly involved, and Qin Jun was not one to show mercy.

Qin Jun had initially wanted to give him a chance, but this guy started threatening him with the Celestial Chosen Mansion the moment he woke up.

"The Holy Emperor of Qin..."

Li Qing felt as if he had been struck by lightning, having heard that the Holy Emperor of Qin was very young, but he had not expected him to be this young.

"Spill the beans!" Qin Jun said impatiently.

The celestial being may already be on his way back to Heaven’s Chosen Residence, and if he manages to get back to the Ancient Immortal Realm for reinforcements, wouldn’t that be disastrous?

Little did they know, the beleaguered Chu Juhuai had been abducted by Randeng.

Li Qing dared not conceal anything further, for if he lied, Qin Jun could sense it through the Myriad Tribulations Sacrificial Worm. There was a master worm in his body, and a subsidiary worm was implanted in Li Qing, allowing for a sort of telepathic connection between the two.

A full incense stick’s time passed before Qin Jun finally came to understand the whole story.

The Demon emperor had slaughtered the Heaven’s Chosen Residence, and unexpectedly, they found a celestial being hidden within. Under the combined suppression of Chu Juhuai and several elders, the Demon emperor was seriously injured, but Chu Juhuai failed to kill him on the spot.

Knowing that the Demon emperor was once a war general under Ji Yongsheng from 130,000 years ago, Chu Juhuai wanted to hunt down and eradicate the Demon emperor to prevent future troubles.

Even in the Ancient Immortal Realm, the name Ji Yongsheng was widely known. In that battle from years ago, Ji Yongsheng had slain numerous celestial beings, shaking the entire Ancient Immortal Realm.

Hearing that Qin Jun was the reincarnation of the war god, Chu Juhuai assumed that the Demon emperor would flee to Qin Jun, so he headed straight there and incidentally encountered Yang Jian crossing tribulation, admiring his talent.

"That celestial being named Chu Juhuai might vent his anger on the whole world. Why not lend us a hand?" Bai Ze suddenly spoke up.

Qin Jun raised an eyebrow, unsure of Bai Ze’s intentions, but he did not immediately inquire and instead waited for Bai Ze to continue explaining.

Li Qing gritted his teeth and retorted, "Help you? If it weren’t for the Demon emperor’s sudden attack, how could such a disaster have happened?"

"I have never once admitted to being Ji Yongsheng, and besides, the Demon emperor wasn’t sent by me!" Qin Jun said irritably. The whole world thought he was Ji Yongsheng, but no one really asked him, which annoyed him.

It was as if all his efforts were being attributed to the name of Ji Yongsheng.

Even the gods and demons had become neglected pawns of the Celestial Court, simply outrageous!

Li Qing fell silent, for even the Heaven’s Chosen Residence didn’t believe that Qin Jun was the reincarnation of Ji Yongsheng. It was said that Ji Yongsheng was entirely annihilated and had no chance of reincarnation.

"You go back and command the Heaven’s Chosen Residence to issue a world-wide wanted order for Chu Juhuai. Don’t say he is a celestial being, just say he is a Demon from beyond the heavens, intending to slaughter all living beings!" Bai Ze’s eyes sparkled with scheming.

Upon hearing this, both Li Qing and the Golden Light Mother drew in a sharp breath.

Qin Jun was also surprised and glanced at her, impressed by the venomous strategy.

The phrase "from beyond the heavens" is very sensitive to all beings in the world, and if Chu Juhuai is portrayed as a Demon, it’s likely that various forces will be unable to stay out of it.

Even the superpowers, knowing that Chu Juhuai is a celestial being, might not dare to allow him to leave.

This conflict was no longer just between the Great Qin Celestial Court and the celestial beings, it concerned the crisis of the entire world.

Li Qing remained silent; he could tell that Chu Juhuai was not broad-minded. Returning to report his defeat at the hands of a female demon would not be something he would do to save face. More likely, he would maintain that the entirety of the world had united against him before he suffered defeat.

Moreover, he knew the plan of the master of the residence; the powers of the Ancient Immortal Realm absolutely could not descend upon this world.

Otherwise, they too would be imprisoned for hundreds of thousands of years in this world.

"I’ll go back and discuss it with the master of the residence!" Li Qing took a deep breath and said.

Of course, the first thing he planned to do upon his return was to find a way to remove the Myriad Tribulations Sacrificial Worm.

"Agreed!"

Qin Jun promptly consented and then stood up to personally unlock the prison door’s chains.

Li Qing’s eyes flickered with surprise; he had not expected Qin Jun to agree so quickly.

Little did he know, with the Myriad Tribulations Sacrificial Worm within him, Qin Jun was not worried in the least that he would cause any mischief.
