The Strongest Mythical Emperor

Chapter 891: Chapter 891: Traces of the Ancestors

Hearing that both Qin Jun and Donghuang Taiyi indicated a step back, Emperor of Heavenly Destiny’s stern face finally relaxed somewhat.

After all, he was the orchestrator of the Hundred Heroes Conference. If Qin Jun and Emperor of Heavenly Destiny were to directly clash, it would put his prestige at stake, and inevitably, it would affect the Nine Emperors of the World as well.

"You are both very strong and have the qualifications to become the Nine Emperors of the World. There will be an opportunity for you to duel later. I hope you can be patient!"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny spoke softly, and as his voice faded, his figure vanished into thin air as if he had never been there.

The street fell silent once again, and the surrounding beings were stunned.

Qualifications to become the Nine Emperors of the World?

Does this count as an early qualification?

The beings couldn’t help but think so. Although Xing Tian and Donghuang Taiyi showed great strength, due to their ingrained thinking, they still regarded the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny as a God, and since the Nine Emperors of the World were promoted by the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny himself, in their hearts, they believed that as long as one received his recognition, one could become the Nine Emperors.

"This guy really knows how to put on airs."

Qin Jun sighed internally. Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was true to his name, the protagonist of this era’s world. If it weren’t for the appearance of the system, perhaps the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny would truly be invincible.

After a brief reflection, he then continued forward with Xing Tian and the other five, while Donghuang Taiyi in front hadn’t left yet, just watching him with an indescribable expression.

As the distance between them closed, the atmosphere was not as tense as before.

"It’s Emperor of Heavenly Destiny who’s impressive, able to suppress two completely unruly fellows."

"Tsk tsk, it’s the first time I’ve seen the Holy Emperor of Qin so obedient."

"Why do I feel like both the Demon Emperor and the Holy Emperor of Qin are not afraid of Emperor of Heavenly Destiny?"

"Fortunately, they stopped. Otherwise, would the Hundred Heroes Conference even be able to proceed?"

"I didn’t expect the Demon Emperor to be so powerful. Why was he so low-key before?"

The beings on both sides of the street were discussing fervently and exclaiming incessantly. Donghuang Taiyi’s momentum just now had sent a chill through them all, including the Nether Emperor and the Sword Master.

In the distance, at the corner of the street, the Yan Emperor’s brows were tightly furrowed, and his usually simple and honest face became serious, exuding an air akin to a majestic lion.

"Not to be confronted with force."

The Yan Emperor slowly uttered these four words, moving the three subordinates behind him.

After all, in today’s world, apart from Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, the Yan Emperor had never feared anyone else.

Although low-key, seldom leaving his Burnt Ruins, the beings who had dared to provoke him were none alive.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he emerged, he encountered two strong foes whom the Yan Emperor himself admitted he could not match, leaving his three subordinates feeling incredulous.

Meanwhile, Qin Jun and Donghuang Taiyi brushed past each other.

"I hope you won’t disappoint me,"

Donghuang Taiyi’s voice lightly drifted into Qin Jun’s ears. Qin Jun didn’t stop his steps, continuing to walk forward. He shook his head with a scornful smile, "Don’t think you’re invincible, the higher you stand, the harder you fall!"

Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi’s gaze turned frosty, but he did not retaliate, letting Qin Jun walk away.

He didn’t like to waste words. At the start of the Hundred Heroes Conference, he would make Qin Jun regret and despair!

And so, Qin Jun led Xing Tian and the other five away safely.

Donghuang Taiyi also did not linger much longer, soon disappearing with the three Demon Kings.

The spectators breathed a sigh of relief, dispersing one after another and spreading the news.

Before long, the entire Juetian City was abuzz with discussions about Donghuang Taiyi’s and Holy Emperor of Qin’s confrontation. This was the first time Emperor of Heavenly Destiny had appeared, a testament to the strength of both parties.

That day, Ji Ruyi, Nether Dream Demon Venerable, Black Butterfly Fairy and many other Dominance Leaders arrived at Juetian City one after another. In addition to the top hundred leaders, other lower-ranked leaders also came to observe the battles. The Nine Emperors of the World affected the future landscape, and they naturally wanted to witness it with their own eyes.

For a time, Juetian City became even more bustling.

Qin Jun and the others had already found an inn to stay at, and at the moment, Qin Jun was cultivating inside his room. His exchange with Donghuang Taiyi earlier that day hadn’t burdened him too much.

He needed to cultivate regardless, and he didn’t feel pressure about competing for a spot among the Nine Emperors of the world. His ranking, however, wasn’t absolutely certain.

He wanted to be first in everything.

That included the Nine Emperors of the world.

"Knock knock—"

Just then, a knocking sound suddenly echoed. Qin Jun casually asked, "Who is it?"

If it were a stranger, neither Sun Wukong nor Yang Jian would have let them get close to this guest room.

"It’s me."

The voice of the Black Butterfly Fairy came from outside, causing Qin Jun to open his eyes and mutter, "What’s this old witch doing here?"

The God Temple’s master, Zun Rudao, hadn’t ranked in the top hundred of the Dominance Leaderboard, so he hadn’t expected Zun Rudao to bring the Black Butterfly Fairy along.

Little did he know that the God Temple had already changed hands, and the current master was the Black Butterfly Fairy.

Before Qin Jun could give his approval, the Black Butterfly Fairy had already pushed the door and entered.

Looking at the Black Butterfly Fairy in her purple-black brocade robe, Qin Jun felt strangely bewildered. After merging with the holy bone, he had gained some of Ji Yongsheng’s memories, which caused him to look at the Black Butterfly Fairy and feel an inexplicable stir in his heart, as if he had returned to 130,000 years ago, amidst the ravages of war, in a moment of life-and-death separation.

"What, do you not recognize me anymore, Your Majesty the Holy Emperor?" the Black Butterfly Fairy asked with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. She was no longer wearing a mask, and her black hair was silky smooth. Her stunningly beautiful face could easily make one lose their wits with every frown and smile.

"Why have you come?" Qin Jun asked in confusion.

If a battle broke out among the champions, it would certainly be dangerous, and he didn’t want the Black Butterfly Fairy to get involved in the chaos.

"Why can’t I come? Even though I’m not qualified to compete for the position of one of the Nine Emperors, I can still come to watch," the Black Butterfly Fairy said as she made herself comfortable on the bed, sitting less than ten centimeters away from Qin Jun.

Qin Jun, with no other choice, asked, "What about Zun Rudao?"

"He’s gone back to the God Prefecture," replied the Black Butterfly Fairy softly.

Gone back to the God Prefecture?

Qin Jun was puzzled and about to inquire further when the Black Butterfly Fairy suddenly changed the subject, "You need to be careful at the Hundred Heroes Conference this time."

"Don’t worry, I won’t have any problems," Qin Jun replied, shaking his head with a smile. Who else besides the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny and Donghuang Taiyi could pose a threat to him?

"According to my estimation, as long as you don’t rashly confront the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, the Demon Emperor, the Yan Emperor, or the Nether Lord, your becoming one of the Nine Emperors of the world is almost a sure thing," the Black Butterfly Fairy said seriously as she tidied up her hair.

Snort—

Qin Jun almost laughed out loud. It seemed she hadn’t guessed that he was actually the Yan Emperor.

However, a name she mentioned suddenly caught his attention.

The Nether Lord!

An ancient powerhouse of the Human Clan, sealed within Nether Lord City, would still be trapped and enduring endless solitude if not for Qin Jun gaining control over his domain.

"The Nether Lord?" Qin Jun frowned and asked.

At the time, it seemed to be Donghuang Taiyi who went after the Nether Lord’s remnants. Could it be that the Nether Lord had escaped?

Being able to escape from Donghuang Taiyi implied that the Nether Lord was also unimaginably strong.

"Yes, that’s the Nether Lord, the elder brother of the Human Ancestor Zhang Changsheng," the Black Butterfly Fairy confirmed with a nod, a look of apprehension appearing on her pretty face at the mention of the Nether Lord.

As someone who had survived from the era of the God Temple, the Black Butterfly Fairy knew far more about the Nether Lord than most.

"Although the Nether Lord was the elder brother of Zhang Changsheng and both contributed to the rise of the Human Clan, the Nether Lord was actually brutal and unkind. He had a bad reputation among the Human Clan at the time, and it was said that he even colluded with the Devil Clan!"
