Chapter 909: Chapter 909: Candidates for the Nine Emperors

Looking at Donghuang Taiyi standing on the turret, the lords all frowned.

"Minions?"

This was mockery!

The lords dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, each with eyes that wished they could kill Donghuang Taiyi with their stares.

Donghuang Taiyi didn’t care at all, walked to the edge of the terrace, and said to the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, "First, select the Nine Emperors. Whoever disapproves can challenge that emperor candidate. Win, and you take his place."

Upon hearing this, the lords’ eyes flickered with changing emotions.

This was indeed a good idea.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny frowned deeply, for he had thought of this before, but such actions would exhaust some lords who were meant to become one of the Nine Emperors to death.

How long could figures like Xu Chongsheng and Ji Ruyi last if they were continuously challenged by other lords?

Unless they too were Daluo initiates, capable of easily crushing Daluo immortals.

Most importantly, the reason why the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny had made such arrangements was to let the lords truly rank themselves once, but if they did as Donghuang Taiyi said, it would only serve to highlight the Nine Emperors.

"I also agree,"

Qin Jun suddenly spoke with a laugh. Upon this remark, the whole place erupted.

Were two supreme lords pressuring the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny?

Millions of beings were even more tense, wondering how the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny would react?

Could Xing Tian and the Demon Emperor join forces to defeat the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny?

Question after question swiftly circulated in their minds. Amid the tension, there was also excitement, as a battle of the ages was about to break out!

"Do you all agree as well?"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny slowly rose, his gaze sweeping over all the lords as he asked.

He was no fool. Donghuang Taiyi was clearly challenging him, and he, who considered himself above all, would not shy away from a fight.

Although it would disrupt his original plan, he could no longer tolerate Donghuang Taiyi’s continuous provocation of his authority.

The lords looked at each other, none daring to answer.

"That’s good, the strong are respected."

The sword master coldly responded, and as soon as he spoke, the Yan Emperor also nodded in agreement.

Randeng laughed and said, "Only then can it reflect that among the Nine Emperors, each is but an ant."

Apart from the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, the Holy Emperor of Qin, and Donghuang Taiyi, the other lords were not even in his consideration.

Controlled by Drought, Xu Chongsheng’s voice was hoarse as he said, "I agree as well!"

"Support!" Ji Ruyi also spoke out, having made up his mind to follow Qin Jun after being saved by Xing Tian.

One by one, the top ten lords expressed their agreement, and the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny had no choice but to nod.

"Now, announce the candidates for the Nine Emperors."

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny spoke solemnly, drowning out all other noises, and the lords grew tense. Could it be one of their own?

"The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, the Holy Emperor of Qin, the Demon Emperor, Randeng, the Netherworld Emperor, the Sword Master, the Yan Emperor, Xu Chongsheng, Ji Ruyi, listed as the candidates for the Nine Emperors!"

The speaker was the Princess. Her voice ethereal, spread to the ears of every being.

As her voice fell, two disciples behind her unfurled a scroll, blank at first, then the Princess took out a brush, dashed it in the air, and briskly wrote down the names of the Nine Emperor candidates.

"Now, all lords may challenge the candidates for the Nine Emperors!"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny declared, "Until no lord dares to challenge anymore, then the Nine Emperors will begin competing for their ranks."

There is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny has always been the first in this world, and naturally, he also wants to be the top emperor, not just another one among equals.

"Troublesome,"

Donghuang Taiyi pursed his lips, feeling uninterested, but he also valued the position of the Nine Emperors and the subsequent heaven-breaking opportunity, so he voiced no objection.

After the Nine Emperors and heaven-breaking, he would flee to realms beyond, and as for the wrath of the Ancient Immortal Realm, let the Xuandang great world bear it. He had no deep feelings for the Xuandang great world.

The challenge officially began.

Soon, a hero entered the array and shouted loudly, "Nether Emperor, come down!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the already severely injured Nether Emperor’s face turned extremely ugly.

The heroes then began to discuss.

"That’s shameless!"

"Shameless is shameless, just make sure you don’t challenge the Nether Emperor later!"

"A thin camel is bigger than a horse, don’t forget the Nether Emperor is known for being undying and indestructible!"

"Tsk tsk, this person must be foolish."

"Although the Nether Emperor is severely wounded, he remains the most difficult to defeat among the Nine Emperor candidates."

It was not only the heroes who were discussing; the creatures were as well, and based on the injuries, the Nether Emperor was definitely in the most dire situation among the candidates for the Nine Emperors.

The Nether Emperor pushed away the two Netherworld Generals who were supporting him and flew into the array with a frosty face.

As the first candidate of the Nine Emperors to be challenged, the Nether Emperor felt a great loss of face, with his killing intent nearly spilling out of his chest.

Without wasting words, he directly condensed Netherworld Dragon Qi, as dozens of ferocious black dragons twisted and surged towards the hero, causing the color of the hero’s face to drastically change.

"Poor Nether Emperor, his position is on shaky ground."

Qin Jun laughed heartlessly, because he knew the Nether Emperor certainly still wanted to kill him due to Young Master You’s death and the Great War between the Yin and Yang realms. Thus, he had no sympathy to spare.

If he had the chance, he would kill the Nether Emperor!

"He harbors a force in his body that does not belong to him."

Patriarch Bodhi suddenly spoke up, causing the Demon King of Peng-Bird and Shi Gandang to look at him in surprise. The Old Taoist who could follow Qin Jun must be no ordinary figure, and moreover, they could not see through Patriarch Bodhi.

Qin Jun raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is it strong?"

Why did the Nether Emperor not use this force during his earlier battle with Donghuang Taiyi?

Was it that he did not have enough time, or was there another strategy at play?

Qin Jun narrowed his eyes, contemplating whether the Nether Emperor was waiting for the Yan Emperor.

"It’s alright." Patriarch Bodhi smiled and said, instantly reassuring Qin Jun.

Patriarch Bodhi was his biggest trump card.

Xing Tian shot a deep glance at Patriarch Bodhi, his thoughts unknown.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

The dozens of black dragons formed from the Netherworld Dragon Qi relentlessly pursued the hero, catching him off guard and completely overwhelming him.

"How is this possible... how is he still so strong?"

The hero’s eyes widened, his mind filled with towering shock waves as he gripped his long blade to resist the impact of the Netherworld Dragon Qi.

The domineering Netherworld Dragon Qi once again stirred up excitement among the creatures; even with severe injuries, the Nether Emperor was still so formidable, truly worthy of being the ruler of the Netherworld.

The battle ended quickly, with the Nether Emperor strongly defeating his enemy and leaving him unconscious at the edge of the Emperor’s Platform.

"If I were to absorb his Netherworld Dragon Qi..."

Qin Jun’s eyes twinkled, his own Dragon Qi had already been absorbed through the system, and if he could merge it with the Netherworld Dragon Qi, it would undoubtedly be even stronger.

Sensing his gaze, the Nether Emperor turned his head, and as their eyes met, the Nether Emperor saw the killing intent.

"This kid..."

A chill settled in the Nether Emperor’s heart; he had no desire to make an enemy of Qin Jun, having seen how strong Xing Tian was.

With a hint of gloom in his heart, the Nether Emperor turned and flew back to his own pavilion. Having just witnessed his savage display, the heroes dared not continue challenging him.

Meanwhile, a group of figures flew across the sky, led by Lou Nan, master of the Heaven-Choosing Mansion, and Li Qing, controlled by the Myriad Tribulations Sacrificial Worm.

"The Hundred Heroes Conference lies ahead." Li Qing gritted his teeth, shivering at the thought of Qin Jun being just ahead.

"What powerful auras... this isn’t good. If they continue to fight like this, it will surely alarm the Ancient Immortal Realm."

Old Lou Nan’s face was clouded with worry; he had underestimated the heroes of the world.
