The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 809: Tower of the King of Resentment

Chapter 809: Chapter 809: Tower of the King of Resentment

Early the next morning.

"Ding! Zhenwu Emperor has restored to the peak of God and Demon and is about to return!"

The system prompt suddenly woke Qin Jun from his cultivation state. He hurriedly walked out of his sleeping palace, came to the outside, and stood on the edge of the corridor where he could overlook most of King Yan City. This place was the highest palace building in King Yan City, apart from the tower.

"Bring up Zhenwu Emperor’s attribute list."

Qin Jun commanded, curious to know how strong Zhenwu Emperor was at his peak.

No sooner had he spoken than the new attribute list of Zhenwu Emperor appeared:

"Zhang Sanfeng, from folk legends!"

"Identity: Zhenwu Emperor, Vanquisher of Demons!"

"Cultivation: Daluo to late stage of Immortal Realm!"

"Cultivation method: Zhenwu Vanquishing Demons Technique!"

"Treasures: Black Turtle Shield! Martial Snake Sword"

"Divine Power: Sky-controlling Divine Sword! Zhenwu Vanquishing Demons!"

"Loyalty: 94 (full score 100)!"

Daluo to late stage of Immortal Realm!

On par with Kua Fu!

Qin Jun’s eyes lit up as he read. The strength of late stage Daluo in the Immortal Realm meant that even when including those hidden powerhouses, he would undoubtedly rank within the top fifty in the entire world.

The higher he climbed, the more Qin Jun felt that the top powerhouses of this world were widely spread apart, especially the top ten on the Dominance Leaderboard, the gap between each one vast.

It is said that the Nether Emperor, the second of this age, has never won against the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny. No one knows just how strong the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny truly is.

Qin Jun had once come across an ancient text. Tens of thousands of years ago, there were countless geniuses, and the battle for qi movement had just begun.

At that time, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was not as low-key as he is now. He could be described as a madman, no less hesitant than Qin Jun, perhaps even crazier.

Nearly nine out of every ten who battled him fell.

A path to the Great Emperor was paved with their piled-up bones.

The Nether Emperor, Yan Emperor, and Sword Master were all geniuses left over from that era, all of whom had been defeated by the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny. If it were not for his appreciation of them, they too would have perished.

As Qin Jun’s thoughts wandered, a black hole suddenly appeared in front of him, and Zhenwu Emperor stepped out from it, floating in mid-air. His presence was as calm as ever, his expression serene, as if he had not experienced the peak of God and Demon.

"Thank you for the grace of rebirth, Your Majesty!"

Zhenwu Emperor thanked with clasped hands. Despite being restored to late stage Daluo in the Immortal Realm, he remained neither arrogant nor rash.

Qin Jun laughed softly, "I’m helping you but also helping myself."

He paused, as if recalling something, and continued to smile, "By the way, you and the Six-Eared Macaque have a good relationship. You could occasionally give him some guidance; he is one of the Four Monstrous Monkeys of chaos, with exceptional talent."

The Six-Eared Macaque was still sweeping through the Demon Wastes, defeating each demon king he encountered. And for those few tough ones, he wore them down with challenge after challenge.

Mention of the Six-Eared Macaque brought a smile to Zhenwu Emperor’s face. When he first came to King Yan City, it was the Six-Eared Macaque who had shown him the way, so their relationship was excellent.

"I will," said Zhenwu Emperor with a smile. He had long recognized the acumen and talent of the Six-Eared Macaque and didn’t mind offering some teachings.

To others, Daluo Golden Immortals might be considered strong, but they no longer caught the attention of Qin Jun and Zhenwu Emperor.

Zhenwu Emperor did not continue to disturb Qin Jun, bowed, and then turned to leave.

Looking at his departing figure, Qin Jun couldn’t help but look forward to the future.

When King Yan Palace and the Heavenly Court of Great Qin became the dual apexes of Heaven and Earth, and countless beings anticipated who was stronger between Yan Emperor and Holy Emperor of Qin, revealing the truth would be explosive!

Cough cough!

Thinking too far ahead.

Qin Jun patted his face, why was he somewhat indulgent today?

Must restrain!

Restrain!

...

The reddish land stretched on for ten thousand miles.

Young Master You, accompanied by four guards, sped through the air, a giant iron tower loomed at the horizon ahead of them.

The iron tower looked ancient, its surface pocked and pitted, clearly having weathered endless battering from the elements, rising five hundred feet with statues of barbaric beasts carved at the edge of each layer, diverse in kind, under the rolling dark clouds, it appeared unspeakably grim.

Upon looking out, the reddish land seemed as though it were cast from flowing magma.

This place bordered the burning ruins and was also connected to the Endless Sea.

"Young Master, Xia Yanye has not appeared in the world for ten thousand years, staying away from the strife of this world, and every living creature within a kilometer of King of Resentment Tower has died," a guard cautiously reminded.

The name Xia Yanye might be unknown to many.

But he was also one of the talented individuals who survived from the era of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, horrifyingly powerful, only to have disbanded his forces and withdrawn from the Dominance Leaderboard ten thousand years ago, thereafter vanishing without a trace.

But the terrifying legends of King of Resentment Tower began to take root.

"No matter, I will announce my identity from a kilometer away," Young Master You said softly, his heart actually far from tranquil.

Xia Yanye was once a being that made others lose courage just from hearing rumors of him.

Even his father, the Nether Emperor, held some apprehension.

The party of five quickly landed on the ground a kilometer away from King of Resentment Tower.

Being so close, they looked incredibly small in front of King of Resentment Tower.

"The junior is the son of Li Lianyou and has come to visit the senior!" Young Master You declared loudly.

Whoosh—

As his words fell, a cold wind blew out of nowhere, a tide of terrifying murderous intent rushing over them like sea waves, causing Young Master You to waver and the four Golden Immortal Realm guards to tremble; they hastily grabbed hold of Young Master You, taking most of the pressure off him.

The murderous intent came swiftly and left just as quickly.

"Li Lianyou’s son..." a low and hoarse voice came from within King of Resentment Tower, as if it had been a long time since it had spoken.

"Indeed, the junior. I have heard many tales about your exploits from my mother and hold great admiration; I hope the senior will not take offense to my sudden visit," Young Master You replied with a smile that was neither servile nor overbearing.

In his youth, his mother, Li Lianyou, frequently talked of their era.

At that time, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was known as the number one talent in the world; neither the Nether Emperor nor Xia Yanye were famous. The three of them happened to become good friends through shared hardships; in a twist of melodramatic fate, both the Nether Emperor and Xia Yanye fell for Li Lianyou, who revered the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny and rejected them both.

For the sake of their beloved, they both aimed to rival the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny.

Back then, they were leagues apart from the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, and Li Lianyou never anticipated that the Nether Emperor and Xia Yanye would rise to become talents contending with the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny.

Latter on, the two proposed a duel, where the victor would earn the right to spend a lifetime with Li Lianyou; the Nether Emperor ultimately won.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was proud and once publicly rejected Li Lianyou. With a wounded heart, she later agreed to marry the Nether Emperor.

This was also why the Nether Emperor valued Young Master You greatly, in large part because of Li Lianyou.

Unfortunately, a hundred years ago, Li Lianyou still succumbed to death. Her talents were not high, and even though the Nether Emperor controlled the Netherworld and tried to save her repeatedly, she ultimately returned to reincarnation in the end, for which the Nether Emperor also paid a certain price.

"How is your mother... Is she well..." Xia Yanye continued, his voice tinged with trepidation, enabling Young Master You to breathe a sigh of relief.

He had feared that Xia Yanye might have forgotten about that love or even grown to hate the Nether Emperor and him because of it.

"My mother has already reincarnated a hundred years ago," Young Master You replied somberly.
