Chapter 903: Chapter 903: Shi Gandang vs. the Apocalypse Demon Emperor

"If we have a chance later, let’s have a spar,"

Sun Wukong said to the Cataclysmic Demon Emperor with a smile, thinking if he couldn’t beat Xing Tian, could he still not defeat the Cataclysmic Demon Emperor?

Little did he know that the Cataclysmic Demon Emperor was indeed stronger than him.

"No problem!" The Cataclysmic Demon Emperor did not refuse, being warlike by nature, he naturally did not shy away from battle.

Although Qin Jun was the reincarnation of Ji Yongsheng, he was not entirely Ji Yongsheng anymore, having just arrived, he needed to seize the opportunity to prove his strength.

On his way to Juetian Plain, he heard many legendary tales about the Holy Emperor of Qin and formed a general impression of the Great Qin Heavenly Court; the current era was incredibly exciting, with many heroes rising, rather than the Holy Court dominating the world as it did a hundred thousand years ago.

Just then, Shi Gandang squeezed out from the throng of creatures and swiftly flew toward Qin Jun.

The aura of a late-stage Daluo Immortal Realm attracted the attention of many creatures.

The Black Butterfly Fairy, thinking Shi Gandang was about to ambush Qin Jun, quickly shouted, "Holy Emperor, be careful!"

The clarity of her voice reached Qin Jun’s ears, and as he turned to look, he caught sight of Shi Gandang flying in, about to enter the pavilion in the blink of an eye.

Without needing his command, the Cataclysmic Demon Emperor took the lead and threw a punch.

Shi Gandang, who was initially surprised, paused, wondering why he was being attacked.

There was no time for further thought; he hurriedly swung his fist to defend himself. As their fists collided, a fierce power shook the entire pavilion, causing Patriarch Bodhi’s Dust Brush, resting against a nearby pillar, to steady the structure in an instant, preventing further shaking.

Randeng and Drought in the adjacent pavilions turned their heads in astonishment.

Although Shi Gandang was not as tall as the Cataclysmic Demon Emperor, both were of a burly and robust build, and their struggle in midair drew the attention of many creatures.

"Who are you?"

The Cataclysmic Demon Emperor asked in a deep voice, surprised internally by the terrifying strength of someone whose cultivation was clearly lower than his.

Qin Jun was also curious—did someone really try to launch a sneak attack on him in public?

Courting death!

"I am Shi Gandang, and I’ve come to pledge allegiance to Your Majesty, the Holy Emperor!"

Shi Gandang shouted angrily, his late-stage Daluo Immortal Realm aura bursting forth and unsettling many of the Dominance Leaders.

Another late-stage Daluo Immortal coming to pledge allegiance?

On top of the just-joined Cataclysmic Demon Emperor, the Holy Emperor of Qin had, in a short amount of time, gained two supreme powerhouses.

Although they had heard of the Holy Emperor of Qin’s charismatic personality, seeing it with their own eyes still left them incredulous.

Even the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny and Donghuang Taiyi had odd expressions on their faces—why was nobody pledging allegiance to them?

"Shi Gandang? Come on up!"

Qin Jun was also surprised, not expecting Shi Gandang to arrive so quickly.

Upon hearing this, the Cataclysmic Demon Emperor had no choice but to make way for Shi Gandang; after all, with Xing Tian in the pavilion, Shi Gandang would undoubtedly die if he dared to cause trouble.

Because of Shi Gandang’s arrival, the creatures’ attention shifted to Qin Jun, almost distracting the two Dominance Leaders who were competing in the Nine Emperors’ Platform.

"Is this how he recruits a Daluo Immortal?"

"That person’s cultivation must at least be in the middle stage of the Daluo Immortal Realm, such a strong aura!"

"Why are so many strong individuals willing to join the Holy Emperor of Qin?"

"Nonsense! The Holy Emperor Qin is young and capable, and he might even be one of the future Nine Emperors."

"Will there be more powerhouses pledging allegiance to the Holy Emperor of Qin later?"

The creatures discussed animatedly as spies hastily relayed the news; recruiting strong individuals during the Hundred Heroes Conference was something countless creatures would never have imagined.

The Black Butterfly Fairy looked at Qin Jun with a complex expression, murmuring, "How many more cards do you have up your sleeve?"

After the appearance of the Cataclysmic Demon Emperor, all of Black Butterfly Fairy’s doubts cleared up.

Qin Jun must have arranged for such a multitude of powerful beings to pledge allegiance to him before his reincarnation.

With the resources controlled by Ji Yongsheng, cultivating a host of super-powerful beings within 130,000 years is far from a pipe dream.

All of this was orchestrated by Ji Yongsheng!

"Today, if I cannot do it for you, just watch how I ascend to the top of the Nine Emperors!"

Qin Jun said to Shi Gandang with a laugh, not lowering his voice at all, causing a stir throughout the entire audience.

Ascend to the top of the Nine Emperors?

Does he mean to become the foremost emperor?

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny narrowed his eyes, Donghuang Taiyi let out a disdainful laugh, and the rest of the Dominance Leaders wore various expressions; Qin Jun’s words obviously touched the hearts of all the leaders.

The two Dominance Leaders who were fighting felt bitter as their limelight was stolen just like that, creating an unpleasant feeling.

In the face of the gazes from the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny and Donghuang Taiyi, Qin Jun remained calm and composed, as if saying to them, "If you’re not convinced, come and fight me!"

"With just one word from Your Majesty, no matter who it is, I will make them fall to the ground!"

Shi Gandang chuckled, earning a nod of approval from Sun Wukong, pleased with his temperament.

At the same time, they were curious; Shi Gandang’s name sounded familiar—could he be a figure from a previous life?

Patriarch Bodhi scrutinized Shi Gandang, sensing that his true form was quite extraordinary, somewhat similar to Sun Wukong.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the two Dominance Leaders on stage finished their battle, and new challengers ascended to take their place.

The battles continued without interruption.

In the following period, none of the top ten on the Dominance Leaderboard stepped down, which reassured the other leaders and made them more eager to challenge.

When the Nether Emperor slowly awoke, more than a dozen battles had already taken place.

Thunder clouds covered the sky as if night had descended.

"Your Majesty, you have finally awoken."

A Netherworld General beside him exclaimed with joy, worried that if the Nether Emperor remained unconscious, he would miss the strife for the Nine Emperors, leaving his subordinates anxious.

The Nether Emperor shook his head, feeling a turbulent surge within him, making his whole body uncomfortable.

As soon as he lifted his head, he could see the pavilion where Donghuang Taiyi was, his gaze landing on Donghuang Taiyi, filled with fear and unwillingness.

Remembering the scene of his instant defeat by Donghuang Taiyi, he shuddered.

He turned his gaze to the other pavilions and suddenly noticed two more figures in the pavilion where Qin Jun was.

"The Desolating Emperor!"

The Nether Emperor’s pupils suddenly constricted as he looked towards Shi Gandang; although he did not recognize him, he could feel Shi Gandang was very strong.

What exactly had happened during the time he was unconscious?

Qin Jun also noticed the Nether Emperor’s awakening but didn’t pay much attention to it.

If it weren’t for the heaven-breaking matter mentioned by the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny earlier, he would have let Xing Tian be utterly ruthless.

Qin Jun was not foolish; breaking through the heavens would surely enrage the deities, and he would need a few to cushion the backlash.

"The disparity in strength is too severe in the Xuandang Great World, especially among the top ten of the Dominance Leaderboard," Qin Jun thought as he stroked his chin. Most of the challenging Dominance Leaders hadn’t even reached the late stages of the Daluo-to-Immortal Realm, which caused Shi Gandang to look on with disdain.

In contrast, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was unfathomable, and Sword Master, the Nether Emperor, Yan Emperor, and others had all stepped into the Luoshi Immortal Realm. Yet, the complete Daluo-to-Immortal Realm was left empty, as if one would directly leap from the late Daluo-to-Immortal Realm to the Luoshi Immortal Realm.

"Your Majesty, when do we enter the fray again?"

Sun Wukong, scratching his ears and cheeks, asked. He did not want to be a mere spectator and longed to challenge all the Dominance Leaders for a good fight!

Shi Gandang and Yang Jian also looked at Qin Jun with eager anticipation; they too wanted to battle.
