The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 876 Abnormal

Chapter 876: Chapter 876 Abnormal

Twenty-one golden Xuan mirrors scattered across the vast corridor overhead, with tall poles emerging beneath the mirror handles. The Holy Mother of Golden Light had lightning crackling between her hands; in an instant, beams of golden light shot out from the mirrors, targeting the Ji Family elders within the range of the golden light formation from all directions.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Ji Ruyi reminded them while fighting Sun Wukong up close. Without needing him to say more, the other Ji Family elders also sensed the terror of the golden light formation and continuously spurred their magical artifacts to defend against it.

Yang Jian opened his divine Supreme eyes, making the movements of the Ji Family elders appear incredibly slow before him.

The War God’s Tri-point Double-edged Sword swung fiercely, its sharp gusts directly knocking one of the Ji Family elders away. Controlled by the Holy Mother of Golden Light’s will, the golden light formation didn’t target Sun Wukong or Yang Jian, but instead continuously struck the Ji Family elders.

Wherever the golden light struck, the flesh quickly turned to pus and blood, a gruesomely painful sight which made them scream in agony.

Sun Wukong fought with grand sweeps, his Ruyi Jingu Bang swirling through the air, crashing onto the Great Dao Birth Heavenly Wheel. The unparalleled domineering force swept Ji Ruyi away, smashing him against a nearby wall and causing the entire Ji Divine Palace to tremble faintly.

Ji Ruyi felt his blood surge tumultuously, clutching his chest, his eyes nearly crimson.

Despite his higher realm, why was he suppressed by Sun Wukong?

If it weren’t for the protection of the Great Dao Birth Heavenly Wheel, he would have been severely injured by Sun Wukong long ago; the strength of this impudent monkey was simply too great.

Elsewhere, Qin Jun and his two companions continued to move forward, with Sun Wukong and his team being enough to confront the members of the Ji Family.

Following Ji Yongsheng’s direction, they passed through corridors and reached the depths of the Ji Divine Palace.

The fight was still ongoing, the Ji Divine Palace shook continuously, causing the surrounding seawater to churn violently and attracting many Ji Family disciples to fly over.

"A fight has broken out inside the Divine Palace, let’s hurry and help!"

"The Holy Emperor of Qin has gone too far, we can’t be cowards!"

"Hurry and support the family head and the others!"

"Going there is just seeking death!"

"Ji Family disciples shall only die in battle!"

The Ji Family disciples roared as they charged over, their message spreading quickly, making more and more people within the small world aware that a battle had begun.

A rapid panic spread; they naturally would not be afraid if it were any other enemy, but the opponent was the Holy Emperor of Qin, how could they not despair?

Even the Branch Wolf King, formidable as he was, had suffered a bitter defeat at the hands of Holy Emperor Qin, in front of Xing Tian. The reason the Ji Family enjoyed a good relationship with the Sword Master was that Ji Ruyi had been defeated by the sword master, and they had bonded over drinks, putting an end to their enmity with a laugh.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—

Countless beams of golden light shot out from the twenty-one golden Xuan mirrors, striking the Ji Family elders who screamed in pain. Anyone hit by the golden light would turn into pus and blood, and if they weren’t powerful warriors from the Daluo Realm, they would have all perished by now.

Yang Jian swung the War God’s Tri-point Double-edged Sword with reckless abandon, and his Supreme eyes also occasionally shot out red light, catching the Ji Family elders completely off guard.

Sun Wukong, meanwhile, was locked in battle with Ji Ruyi. With the aid of the golden light formation, Ji Ruyi was continuously pressured and in agony.

"Is this the gap between me and the Holy Emperor of Qin..."

Ji Ruyi gritted his teeth, thinking that the Holy Emperor of Qin had only sent three people, yet they stopped all of them. This sense of defeat pierced deep into his heart, making it incredibly painful.

He knew that Xing Tian and Patriarch Bodhi had not yet made a move!

"Could it be that heaven wants to destroy the Ji Family?"

Ji Ruyi thought unwillingly as the four Great Dao Birth Heavenly Wheels around him spun wildly, shining with golden light and generating fierce winds.

Sun Wukong, with a ferocious grin, swung his cudgel once more as if it bore the weight of thousands of jun, causing the Great Dao Birth Heavenly Wheels to fly backwards, hitting Ji Ruyi and making him spit blood as he retreated.

The Holy Mother of Golden Light, watching from outside the formation, was secretly astonished. This monkey seemed to be born for battle, treating fighting beyond his level as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

She remembered the chaotic scene when Sun Wukong fought against Hua Yijian and the Branch Wolf King, wondering where His Majesty had found such an excellent prospect.

"Scoundrel, meet your end!"

Just then, an angry shout came from outside the gates of the Ji Divine Palace, followed by a group of disciples armed with their magical artifacts rushing in.

"Hmph! Overestimating oneself!"

The Golden Light Holy Mother sneered in disdain. Anyone daring to intrude her golden light array without being of the Daluo Realm would undoubtedly meet their death.

...

"Speaking of which, would you get angry if I accidentally killed a few of your descendants?"

Qin Jun asked inwardly. In a great battle, casualties were inevitable.

Ji Yongsheng, being a soul body, found it inconvenient to appear, and even if he controlled Qin Jun’s body to speak, the Ji Family probably wouldn’t believe him.

"What’s there to be angry about? You have the authority to decide their life and death. Moreover, their bloodline of the Extreme Flame Demon God has become very thin, almost nonexistent, due to the long passage of time. Most of them have no relation to me anymore," Ji Yongsheng replied nonchalantly.

What does he mean by authority?

A twitch appeared at the corner of Qin Jun’s mouth, thinking to himself, Do you really see me as your reincarnation?

At the same time, they walked through a massive gate, and what came into their view was a dimly lit, vast inner hall.

Facing them were dozens of stone statues arranged from shortest to tallest, with the one at the very back reaching a hundred zhang in height, resembling a deity.

Qin Jun narrowed his eyes with interest at the hundred zhang high statue, for it closely resembled Ji Yongsheng’s true form of the Extreme Flame Demon God.

"Look, your descendants still remember you."

Qin Jun chuckled inwardly while Ji Yongsheng snorted coldly, detecting the teasing tone in Qin Jun’s voice.

As the once foremost figure in the Xuandang Great World, Ji Yongsheng did not wish to die, but he had come to terms with his situation.

"The treasure should be inside my statue."

Ji Yongsheng pondered, sounding somewhat embarrassed when speaking of his own statue.

Curiously, Qin Jun moved past the statues one by one, accompanied on either side by Xing Tian and Patriarch Bodhi, both of whom frowned at the sight of Ji Yongsheng’s statue.

"What is this faint aura...?"

Xing Tian murmured with a furrowed brow, and Patriarch Bodhi’s gaze fixed intently on what lay ahead.

Qin Jun, however, was undaunted and walked straight up to the hundred zhang high statue. "What should I do next?" he asked inwardly.

It was unclear what kind of treasure it was that made Ji Yongsheng struggle to control his emotions.

"Place your hand on its surface."

Ji Yongsheng directed, his voice growing increasingly excited.

Qin Jun raised his hand, and just as he was about to touch the statue, he suddenly hesitated.

There’s something fishy when things are out of the norm!

Ji Yongsheng had not explained what it was, but his excitement suggested it was no simple matter.

Although Ji Yongsheng had helped Qin Jun a great deal, he was, after all, a divine soul residing within Qin Jun’s body. As the once paramount being between heaven and earth, how could he be content with remaining in a fragmented soul state?

Qin Jun had to remain calm; the higher one stood, the easier it was to lose one’s convictions.

"What are you worried about?"

Ji Yongsheng asked somberly, his tone making Qin Jun even more uneasy, and he instinctively withdrew his hand.

At that moment, his body stiffened as a formidable force that was not his own surged from within, pulling his right hand towards the statue’s surface.

Qin Jun’s pupils constricted, and before he could react, the statue began to tremble violently.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Xing Tian hastily reached out to pull Qin Jun back, and as soon as his hand left the statue, Qin Jun’s body shuddered. Ji Yongsheng’s power quickly receded, relinquishing control over Qin Jun.
