The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 855: Defying Fate

Chapter 855: Chapter 855: Defying Fate

"That is an existence even Master fears a bit..."

Black Butterfly Fairy murmured, vaguely recalling the scene where Ji Yongsheng clashed with the previous Fate’s Child.

Perhaps in the Xuandang great world, there are no records of the Fate’s Child, but beyond the heavens, the Fate’s Child is as revered as the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny within the Xuandang great world, looked up to by countless races.

Xuandang, the foremost person of the Human Clan in this realm, has led the Human Clan to dominance in this world, which is now called the Xuandang great world by people.

Tens of thousands of years ago, when she was still young, the previous Fate’s Child descended upon the Xuandang great world because Ji Yongsheng’s fame had spread far beyond the heavens, prompting the Fate’s Child to come specially to challenge Ji Yongsheng.

Although Black Butterfly Fairy did not know the outcome, when Ji Yongsheng returned, his expression was somewhat unpleasant, and he immediately announced his retreat.

And the Fate’s Child never descended upon the Xuandang great world again.

"The aura is coming from the Southern Domain... could it be..." Black Butterfly Fairy’s beautiful face showed emotion, and she vanished on the spot.

If the Fate’s Child appeared in the Great Qin Heavenly Court, even if just awakened, it could still cause a cataclysm. Moreover, considering Qin Jun’s temperament, she found it difficult to be at ease.

...

In the Middle Desolation, King Yan City.

Supreme Elder Laozi stood atop the city walls, overlooking the battle below. As soon as King Yan City had shown up, Nether King Palace promptly retreated in fear, but still, some stubborn creatures insisted on fighting to the death. Now, Meng Tian and others were dealing with these minions.

"Hmm?"

Just then, Supreme Elder Laozi frowned as if he perceived something, turning to look to the south.

"Is this the aura of the Heavenly Dao? No, that’s not right, it’s higher than the Heavenly Dao..."

Supreme Elder Laozi murmured with a frown, and then recalling Qin Jun’s hasty departure earlier, could that be related to this?

He swiftly began to calculate with his fingers, and soon, his expression dramatically changed.

"How could this be... is His Majesty trying to defy fate?"

...

In the Donghuang Territory, inside the Demon Emperor Palace.

Sandalwood was rich in the air, five serpent women swayed their bodies, with dozens of demon kings seated on both sides, engrossing in song and dance, while Donghuang Taiyi sat quietly on the high platform enjoying the rare tranquility.

While all under heaven fought for power, only he, the Demon Emperor, remained detached, seldom stepping out of the Donghuang Territory, causing many to deem him weak and without ambition. Yet no matter how powerful the beings that attacked Donghuang Territory were, they never came out again.

Suddenly, Donghuang Taiyi frowned, his figure flickered, and he vanished swiftly from his throne, while the other demon kings, busy in their revelry, did not notice his departure.

At the pinnacle of the Demon Emperor Palace, Donghuang Taiyi stood on top of a three-legged Golden Crow statue, his thick eyebrows tightly furrowed.

"Why do I feel so uneasy?" Donghuang Taiyi murmured to himself.

Following the direction from which the aura came, he seemed to gaze across tens of millions of miles, sighting the Eye of Destiny.

...

Above the clouds, where lightning clashed furiously, the figure of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny in red was seated in the void practicing his skills. Divine lightning fell upon him, but he remained as stoic as a rock, unaffected.

Suddenly, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny opened his eyes, a trace of surprise and doubt flickering within.

"This chill... it’s similar to his..."

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny murmured with a look of puzzlement on his face.

That person had not appeared for tens of thousands of years, stating he would never return.

So why come now?

"Could there be another?"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny murmured to himself, then shook his head and laughed. What was the use of worrying so much?

The brief battle with Supreme Elder Laozi had enlightened him, which was why he had come above the Nine Heavens to cultivate.

Reaching his realm, it was already not easy to grasp the slightest enlightenment, and even the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny didn’t want to miss any opportunity.

"Son of Destiny? Sooner or later, I’ll surpass you and prove that mortals can also reign supreme over all races!"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny snorted softly, then closed his eyes and continued cultivating.

...

In the Southern Domain’s heavenly world, the sound of booming was incessant.

Sun Wukong, Xing Tian, Li Yuanba, Yang Jian, Yuan Hong, Luo Shixin, Xiang Yu, the Black Butterfly Fairy, Nine Spirits Yuan Saint, Nezha and dozens of other generals furiously assaulted the Eye of Destiny.

The Eye of Destiny was protected by a layer of light screen, preventing Sun Wukong and the others from breaking through, even Xing Tian, who had reached the peak of Daluo in the Immortal Realm, couldn’t shatter the light screen.

Hou Yi stood on the rooftop, loosing arrows in succession, the firelight illuminating the whole Holy City, leaving countless commoners and monks gaping in astonishment.

The hundreds of surrounding flying islands were shaking, including the Holy City itself.

Liu Ruolai held Qin Jun tightly as he closed his eyes and clenched his teeth, veins bulging on his face, clearly in immense pain.

The Eye of Destiny deliberately filled his mind with countless tragic scenes from his fate line to let him understand that facing destiny, all beings must submit.

"Why bother..."

Liu Ruolai murmured to herself, not questioning Qin Jun, but questioning destiny.

Suddenly, the Eye of Destiny in the sky closed, and upon reopening, a daunting pressure descended, causing generals like Sun Wukong and Xing Tian to feel an unimaginable force on their shoulders; in an instant, all plummeted downward with the speed of a meteor falling from the sky, including Xing Tian.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

The generals crashed into the city one after another, collapsing buildings and kicking up clouds of dust.

Just then, Qin Jun, cradled in Liu Ruolai’s arms, suddenly opened his eyes, the purple flame pattern on his forehead pulsating instantly.

Liu Ruolai slightly furrowed her brow, only to see Qin Jun’s eyes emitting a red glow, obscuring his pupils from sight; his body trembled as he slowly rose to his feet.

A tyrannical and supreme aura burst forth from within Qin Jun, felt by all beings within the Southern Domain’s heavenly world.

"This aura..." Bai Ze’s eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Qin Jun, as did millions in the Holy City who looked up.

Qin Jun slowly ascended, with Samadhi Real Fire surging from his body and once again condensing into the shadow of the Extreme Flame Demon God, covering his form. Unlike before, this time the Extreme Flame Demon God seemed to come to life.

"So powerful..."

Liu Ruolai, who had broken through to the second layer of the Golden Immortal Realm, uttered in astonishment, as Qin Jun seemed to have transformed into another person.

The pupil of the Eye of Destiny suddenly constricted; it was the first time its gaze had wavered.

"Could that be the power hidden within His Majesty?" Xing Tian looked at Qin Jun and muttered in shock.

Old Man Yi, observing from a distance, was dumbfounded. He swallowed hard and said to himself, "How is this possible... Could His Majesty really be..."

The shadow of the Extreme Flame Demon God on Qin Jun became more solid, even its facial contours revealing the image of a very martial man, tall and burly, with flowing long hair, like a Fire God descending into the world.

"What of destiny..."

Qin Jun slowly raised his head, but his voice had changed to that of Ji Yongsheng.

"Your Majesty."

Daji covered her small mouth, her stunning face filled with concern, Zhu Yanqing, You Fenghuang, and Wang Xue also wore similar expressions.

Pipa and Chang’e frowned deeply; in their Divine Consciousness, Qin Jun had become someone else.

As if an ancient Demon God had come, their spirits chilled just from his aura.

"I don’t believe in Heaven, nor in gods and immortals, let alone fate!"

Qin Jun’s voice grew hoarse as the Extreme Flame Demon God on him slowly raised its palm.
