Chapter 820: Chapter 820: The Terrifying Yan Emperor

"Your Majesty, how shall we deal with him next?"

Li Si asked with a bow, a smile still lingering on his face, having defeated the Corpse Emperor Palace and Young Master You, not only had they overcome a crisis, but they were also about to reap unimaginable profits.

Fame would spread far and wide; countless beings would join the King Yan Palace!

Various forces, intimidated by this battle, would not dare to oppose King Yan Palace and might even seek to ally with them actively.

Before Qin Jun’s arrival, they couldn’t believe these things were possible.

Since Qin Jun had entrusted them with the management of King Yan Palace, they subconsciously did not want to trouble Qin Jun with issues. If it weren’t for Bai Ze noticing Xia Yanye and Xu Chongsheng’s attack, they would have faced it alone, likely with unimaginable consequences.

This battle also served as a warning to them; they must notify Qin Jun when facing powerful enemies in the future.

The strength of Xia Yanye chilled them to the bone just thinking about it.

"Firstly, imprison and torture him harshly; wring out all the information about the size of the Corpse Emperor Palace and everything concerning Lord of Destiny," Qin Jun ordered with a wave of his hand.

It was good to have completed a side mission as well.

But next, they would face the wrath of the Nether Emperor of Netherworld and the hatred of the spirits seeking vengeance.

"Yes!"

Li Si and the others bowed and responded, and then Qin Jun also retreated, planning to return and perform a ’God and Demon’ summoning directly.

Next, they had to find ways to enhance the overall strength of King Yan Palace.

Qin Jun glanced at Tathāgata standing beside him in a black robe, his gaze cryptic.

...

The battle in the Demon Ruins spread incredibly fast considering the involved were dominant figures of the age; this fact accelerated the dissemination of the news incredibly.

First, within the Demon Ruins, then across Zhonghuang and Donghuang Territory, the domains under Nether King Palace discussed the matter, and the news still spread rapidly to other domains.

"The Corpse Emperor Palace has been defeated? Xu Chongsheng has been captured?"

"That’s too exaggerated, isn’t it? How could Young Master You possibly be killed?"

"Is Yan Emperor so presumptuous? First he denies the title of King Yan conferred by Destiny Cabinet, and now he has killed Young Master You?"

"It’s said that Xia Yanye, the fifth dominant figure from ten thousand years ago, has emerged and was totally outclassed by a powerful monk, suspected to be Tathāgata!"

"Oh my goodness... is Yan Emperor trying to vie for a seat among the Nine Emperors of the world?"

Like a whirlwind passing through, the news was groundbreakingly shocking wherever it went.

For a time, Yan Emperor, the mysterious black-robed monk, Xia Yanye, Young Master You, and Xu Chongsheng became the hotly discussed names of the moment.

Donghuang Territory.

Inside the Demon Emperor Palace, after Donghuang Taiyi heard the news, his eyebrows furrowed, and he asked, "Tathāgata? Are you sure?"

During the great battle in the Demon Ruins, he too had sensed those two formidable auras, both having reached the Luoshi Immortal Realm. He wondered if it was the Nether Emperor of Netherworld who had intervened.

"I can’t be sure because I have never seen Tathāgata, besides, wasn’t Tathāgata crippled by Patriarch Bodhi?" the leopard Demon King said hesitantly.

The demon kings on both sides of the hall whispered among themselves, and the Demon King of Bull couldn’t help but say, "With Holy Emperor of Qin’s methods, it’s impossible that he would let Tathāgata get away, right? Even if he did, could he recover so quickly?"

He had seamlessly integrated into his role as a spy, showing a diligent and conscientious attitude on behalf of Donghuang Taiyi, making it very difficult to associate him with a traitor.

"Indeed," Donghuang Taiyi nodded. For Tathāgata to regain his cultivation in such a short time was nearly impossible, unless that had been a performance directed and acted out by Holy Emperor of Qin and Tathāgata themselves.

A performance?

Impossible!

So many had witnessed at the time; faking it would be too difficult, and from Tathāgata’s standpoint, there was no reason to act out such a play with Qin Jun.

"It seems this Yan Emperor is truly a figure to be reckoned with. We should pay close attention to him in the future," Donghuang Taiyi said softly, his eyes shimmering with a cold light that concealed his thoughts.

In fact, he was quite pleased inwardly.

The stronger Yan Emperor appeared, the more advantageous it was for him.

"It seems for the seat among the Nine Emperors of the world, this emperor could push the waves and assist him to ascend," Donghuang Taiyi thought to himself.

While other dominant figures sought to vie for fame to become one of the Nine Emperors, he remained exceptionally low-key.

In his view, under absolute strength, the Nine Emperors would sooner or later be his.

At the banquet of heroes, if he defeated the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny and the Nether Emperor, he needn’t worry about not being one of the Nine Emperors, right?

The horizons of Donghuang Taiyi had never been limited to this world, which is why he always kept a low profile with his power.

"Demon Emperor, should we send a message to King Yan Palace?" the Leopard Demon King asked cautiously.

As an ally of the King Yan Palace, they naturally couldn’t pretend as if nothing had happened.

To prevent King Yan Palace from getting too inflated, he felt it was necessary to suppress King Yan Palace.

"Hmm, in a few days, I myself will make a trip there!" said Donghuang Taiyi, stroking his chin and smiling lightly.

He wanted to see for himself how strong that monk really was!

Upon hearing this, the demon kings all cheered and waved their arms.

Demon King of Bull inwardly sensed trouble. Although Qin Jun had countless powerful subordinates, he did not believe that anyone could defeat Donghuang Taiyi.

Not even Tathāgata or Patriarch Bodhi.

At least that was what he believed in his heart.

...

King Yan City.

Within the sleeping palace, Qin Jun sat cross-legged practising his cultivation while mentally commanding, "Begin the God and Demon summoning!"

"Ding! Beginning random summoning of God and Demon!"

The system notification sounded in his mind, calming Qin Jun’s mood.

Slaying Young Master You granted him one peak God and Demon opportunity, one God and Demon summoning opportunity, and one God and Demon Legion summoning opportunity, he planned to use up the summoning opportunities first.

As for the peak God and Demon opportunity, he would save it for later—as the Nether Emperor was about to arrive, and without knowing the extent of his strength, Qin Jun had to keep an ace up his sleeve.

Moreover, besides the Nether Emperor, there were other enemies like the Spirit of Resentment, Chu Juhuai, and more.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for summoning Nvwa from mythological legends. Would you like to re-summon?"

Pff—

Qin Jun nearly choked on his saliva. The name Nvwa was as familiar to the Huaxia People as thunder piercing the ears—Nvwa creating humanity was a tale known even to five-year-olds, and in mythology, Nvwa was one of the saints, a powerful entity among the apex of mythological figures.

Although Empress Nvwa came across as very kind and amiable in Qin Jun’s impression, he dared not summon her.

A saint was still a saint, beyond his control.

"Re-summon!" Qin Jun decided, gritting his teeth.

How many times had this been that he summoned a powerful entity he dared not bring forth?

Luck had come his way, but he dared not catch it, there was nothing more painful in life than this.

"Ding! Beginning the re-random summoning of God and Demon!"

Qin Jun prayed in his heart for a Daluo-level immortal that didn’t surpass the beings of the Luoshi Immortal Realm!

Unconsciously, any God and Demon below the Daluo Realm didn’t even register in his eyes.

How inflated he had become!

Qin Jun sighed incessantly, his heart filled with a sense of achievement.

Looking across the entire world, he too was a widely known mighty ruler, his journey in this world had not been in vain.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host for summoning Drought from mythological legends. Would you like to re-summon?"

The system notification sounded again.

"Drought? What the heck is that! Re... wait, Drought?"

Qin Jun first dismissed it, but quickly something clicked, and he leapt straight up from his bed.

Surprise spread across his face, as excited as if he had won a grand prize.

Drought, that was one of the four great ancestral corpses!

Definitely a kick-ass existence!
