Chapter 892: Chapter 892 The Game Begins

"The Devil Clan?"

Qin Jun’s expression turned odd, and within the current Human Clan, there were two paths: the Righteous Dao and the Demonic Dao. The so-called Demonic Dao was a cultivation method that referenced the Devil Clan’s ancient practices, offering swift progress but risked losing one’s mind and succumbing to demonic possession.

Practitioners of the Demonic Dao were invariably ruthless in their actions, stopping at nothing to become stronger, which was scorned by those of the Righteous Dao.

The Nether Lord actually had ties with the Devil Clan!

Nowadays, the entire world believed the real Devil Clan had been erased from history, and the demons alive today were merely practitioners of the Demonic Dao.

"The Myriad Tribulations Sacrificial Worm I gave you was found in an ancient relic of the Devil Clan. There, I subdued a demon who had become possessed and had him guard the site year-round. Recently, he saw the Nether Lord enter the ruins. The Nether Lord only stayed in the ruins for half a day before leaving," said the Black Butterfly Fairy in a heavy tone, her pretty face full of anxiety. She did not wish calamity to befall the Human Clan, the legacy left by the Celestial Court.

The ancient Devil Clan was a terrifying legend predating the dominance of the Demon Clan and the Human Clan.

"Through that possessed demon, I overheard the Nether Lord mentioning a few words about the Nine Emperors, suggesting that there might be a conspiracy. Knowing your ambition, I felt compelled to warn you," the Black Butterfly Fairy’s gaze met Qin Jun’s. When she learned of this, Qin Jun had already left.

So she made the long journey to come here especially.

No one knew the terror of the Nether Lord.

After all, he was a being from the ancient times.

"The Nether Lord... The Devil Clan..."

Qin Jun muttered to himself, his eyebrows deeply furrowed. It seemed he would have to be on guard against a sudden strike from the Nether Lord.

"Indeed, the Nether Lord is not simple. In ancient times, before the hundreds of tribes were suppressed by the Human Clan’s Celestial Court, they were all incredibly powerful. At that time, he and Yang Jian were able to lead the Human Clan to greatness, so his strength is absolutely unfathomable, at least at the level of entering the realm of the sage," Ji Yongsheng’s voice suddenly rang out.

Entering the realm of the sage!

Qin Jun’s pupils constricted. Above the Daluo Realm was the realm of entering the sage.

He had not expected the Nether Lord and Yang Jian to be so powerful, but the Nether Lord had been suppressed for countless tens of thousands of years, and now only his soul remained, surely he could not possess the strength of that realm.

"Hmph, the ancient Devil Clan has long fled to the outer realms, and even the gods and immortals reject them, so it’s impossible for the Nether Lord to collude with the Devil Clan again," Ji Yongsheng spoke dismissively with contemptuous laughter.

Clearly, he did not have a high opinion of the Nether Lord.

Compared to the Nether Lord, he admired Yang Jian more. Yang Jian’s contributions were no less significant than those of Xuandang, the progenitor who created the Human Clan, and the Celestial Court’s White Emperor.

Although Ji Yongsheng had challenged the gods with unparalleled bravery, his contributions to the Human Clan did not match those of the three venerable sages.

It could even be said that it was because of his identity as the incarnation of the Extreme Flame Demon that led to the destruction of the Celestial Court.

"Let it be, then," Qin Jun nodded and said. What waves could a mere soul stir up?

His greatest enemy now was Donghuang Taiyi!

Even the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny had to step aside.

With a faint smile, the Black Butterfly Fairy then rose slowly and walked towards the door, leaving behind the words, "Focus on your cultivation. I’ll look forward to your performance at tomorrow’s Hundred Heroes Conference."

Qin Jun was taken aback. She was leaving just like that?

"You can be kind to her, but don’t fall in love with her," Ji Yongsheng coldly reminded again, causing Qin Jun’s mouth to twitch as he responded irritably, "This emperor has no intention of falling for your disciple!"

He always believed that the Black Butterfly Fairy’s complete submission and selfless sacrifice were because of the bloodline of the Extreme Flame Demon and Ji Yongsheng.

He appreciated all that the Black Butterfly Fairy had done, but his heart couldn’t get over that hurdle.

"Her time should be nearing the end. Living until now has already exceeded my expectations," Ji Yongsheng sighed softly, which made Qin Jun’s body tremble as his eyebrows tightly knit together.

The Grand Limit...

Without becoming immortal, without the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, how could one live forever?

Living for 130,000 years is already a miracle.

...

A night passed, and the eastern horizon had just begun to show a glimmer of dawn.

Early the next morning, the sound of a deep bell resonated throughout the city, awakening all beings from their meditative state.

Qin Jun was no exception; he changed into his Nine Dragon Supreme Emperor’s robes and stepped out of his room.

To participate in the Hundred Heroes Conference, he must present himself with the most domineering posture.

Sun Wukong, Xing Tian, Yang Jian, Golden Light Holy Mother, and Patriarch Bodhi consecutively emerged from their rooms. The five followed Qin Jun toward the stairs, as the creatures they passed along the way were so frightened that they retreated into their rooms, allowing Qin Jun and his party to leave first.

The previous day’s contention had made all beings throughout the city dreadfully wary of the Holy Emperor of Qin and Donghuang Taiyi.

Especially the confrontation of qi movement between Xing Tian and Donghuang Taiyi, recalling it still sent chills down their spines.

As Qin Jun stepped outside the inn, he paused and looked up; he saw a huge circular stone platform appear above Juetian City, with a diameter of ten thousand meters, eclipsing the sun and the sky. The sky had just begun to brighten, but its emergence cast Juetian City back into night.

"What is that?"

"I’m not sure..."

"Look! The Holy Emperor of Qin has come out!"

"This dragon robe looks so imposing..."

"Is that big man Xing Tian? He looks really strong."

The beings emerging from the surrounding inns were chattering, especially excited upon noticing Qin Jun’s presence.

The Nine Dragon Supreme Emperor’s Robe was the Jade Emperor’s dragon robe; when worn by Qin Jun, who was a monarch of qi movement, the imperial authority it exuded was incredibly mighty, compelling a sense of submission in the beholder.

Qin Jun ignored them, instead staring at the massive stone platform in the sky. Could it be that the Hundred Heroes Conference was going to be held up there?

"All Dominance Leaders ranked in the top hundred of the Dominance Leaderboard are invited onto the platform!"

The voice of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny thundered throughout Juetian City, stirring up excitement in the entire city.

No sooner had the voice faded than figures soared into the sky, with various Dominance Leaders flying towards the grand stone platform with their followers in tow.

Qin Jun smiled faintly and immediately leaped up, with Sun Wukong and the other four accompanying him on either side.

The massive stone platform was thousands of meters above the ground. On the way, Qin Jun caught sight of Nether Emperor, Sword Master, Donghuang Taiyi, Yan Emperor, and other Dominance Leaders he had previously interacted with.

"Sima Mengmo should be killed, Xia Yanye should also be killed; if these two side missions are completed, perhaps the odds of success will be greater," Qin Jun thought to himself. He had not forgotten the side missions triggered by Ghost King Sima Mengmo and Xia Yanye’s intent to kill him.

Feeling his gaze, the complexions of Nether Emperor, Sword Master, Yan Emperor, Sima Mengmo, Ji Ruyi, Randeng, Branch Wolf King, and other Dominance Leaders became somewhat unnatural.

For Qin Jun’s gaze was unsettling.

It was as if he was selecting his prey.

Soon, Qin Jun arrived at the edge of the stone platform, which was black at the base, as if charred, yet its surface shone as brightly as white jade.

At this moment, one hundred temporary pavilions had already been built on the platform, spaced evenly along the edges, each guarded by disciples from the Hall of Heavenly Destiny.

Qin Jun noticed that these disciples from the Hall of Heavenly Destiny all had high levels of cultivation; he could not see through them at least. Looking around, there appeared to be no fewer than a thousand disciples, equivalent to over a thousand Taiyi Realm experts.

The foundation of the Hall of Heavenly Destiny was indeed exceptional.

To the north was a pavilion taller than the others, with vermilion towers and jade terraces. The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny stood at the edge of the pavilion, waiting for the arrival of the Dominance Leaders, still in a red robe, more glaring than fresh blood.
