Chapter 924: Chapter 924 Qiongqi Bites the Chaos Bell

Qiongqi, one of the four great barbaric beasts, is recorded in various ancient Huaxia texts such as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas," "Historical Records," and "Zuo Tradition," among others. Its described form varies across documents; some even say that Qiongqi is part of the Gonggong clan.

Guiguzi was proficient in the knowledge of a hundred schools and had seen many records about Qiongqi, leaving a deep impression on him.

Watching the approaching Qiongqi, he felt his scalp tingle, and he was not alone; Sun Wukong and the other gods and demons felt the same.

For them, beings from Huaxia mythology, Qiongqi’s fame was too resounding, an absolutely legendary existence.

Like Mount Tai, Qiongqi stirred up a fierce wind as it rampaged unchecked.

Qin Jun, encumbered by countless spears of heavenly lightning, also noticed the arrival of Qiongqi. He was overjoyed, but at that moment, he could not afford to pay attention to Qiongqi.

The Divine Punishment Tribulation was too powerful; each spear of heavenly lightning could kill an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal with unbelievable speed and extreme sharpness. If not for the Extreme Flame Demon’s resistance, Qin Jun would have become a sieve.

"What kind of Divine Punishment Tribulation is this? Isn’t it too twisted?"

Qin Jun cursed through clenched teeth. He wanted to check Qiongqi’s attribute list, but under such a high-density attack, he couldn’t afford to do anything else.

The Extreme Flame Demon roared with its arms, using its chest to resist the relentless spears of heavenly lightning. The lightning and sparks complemented each other, dazzlingly brilliant.

It appeared difficult, but the Extreme Flame Demon’s frame continued to expand, stretching up to two hundred Zhang, its body engulfed in the Samadhi Real Fire, with the imposing figure of a demon fully revealed.

Thump! Thump! Thump...

Just then, Qin Jun’s heartbeat suddenly quickened. He felt a force not his own coursing through his body, madly scurrying through his muscles and bones, filling him with a sense of dread.

What’s going on?

Qin Jun’s eyes widened. Could this be a sign of the Divine Punishment Tribulation?

"No good! You killed the Resentful God, and his resentment has invaded your body!"

Ji Yongsheng exclaimed in alarm, causing Qin Jun’s scalp to tingle. At that moment, with a bang, Qin Jun felt his mind explode and his consciousness plunge into chaos.

Meanwhile, Qiongqi arrived beside Qin Jun, its shoulder height of a thousand Zhang making it incredibly immense; even the Extreme Flame Demon seemed very small in comparison.

The crimson eyes of Qiongqi fixated on Qin Jun, as if contemplating something, its black mane fluttering in the wind like black flames cloaking its body, terrifyingly grim.

While the spears of heavenly lightning continued to fall crazily on the Extreme Flame Demon, Qiongqi watched for a while before turning its gaze towards the distant Donghuang Taiyi and the Sun Star.

Sun Wukong and the others watched with intense anxiety. Qiongqi’s notorious reputation was too foreboding. At such a distance, if it attacked Qin Jun, they would be too late to stop it. All they could do now was to anxiously watch it and hope that it would not wreak havoc.

Donghuang Taiyi also noticed the arrival of Qiongqi, and his eyebrows slightly raised as he thought, "What kind of barbaric beast is this, with such an unusual aura?"

The Sun Star, condensed from the true fire of the sun beneath his feet, continued to sink. From such a high vantage, the Sun Star had pressed a pit tens of thousands of Zhang deep; the surrounding soil rolled like a dust storm, obscuring the figure of Patriarch Bodhi.

Juetian Plain and the surrounding realms shook violently, the boundless sea churned with alarming waves, and farther away, countless volcanoes erupted, mountains trembled, and thunderclouds surged.

A catastrophe that would sweep across the entire Xuandang Great World was on the verge of unfolding.

Patriarch Bodhi, pressed underneath the Sun Star, trembled slightly in his legs. Facing the full force of suppression from Donghuang Taiyi, he was beginning to struggle.

"This won’t do... If this continues, not only will I fail, but the Xuandang Great World will surely be destroyed!"

Patriarch Bodhi’s eyes were filled with blood, and the true fire of the sun within the Godly Sun Arrival was extremely potent, especially after being concentrated into a dense fireball. Once it exploded, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He resented not having the same level of cultivation as in his previous life, otherwise, he would not have tolerated Donghuang Taiyi’s arrogance.

"Roar—"

A thunderous roar that could deafen ears rang out, startling even Patriarch Bodhi into turning his head. He saw the colossal Qiongqi, as vast as Mount Tai, rushing through the void. The wind whipped its mane, akin to burning black flames. To any ordinary person, it would have been a sight terrifying enough to shatter the soul.

Qiongqi!

Patriarch Bodhi’s pupils constricted. Why would such a legendary beast appear here?

Qiongqi, as if gone mad, charged at Donghuang Taiyi, its huge mouth agape, seemingly capable of swallowing an entire mountain, unmatched in ferocity.

"My heavens! What is that?"

"Is that a demonic beast or a barbaric beast?"

"Its aura is terrifying... It’s as if it emerged from a sea of blood."

"Another formidable presence appears, it seems to have passed by the Holy Emperor of Qin just now, could it be?"

"Don’t scare people, could this monster also be a subordinate of the Holy Emperor of Qin?"

In the distance, those creatures unafraid of death were still watching. Their cultivation was high, and they understood that fleeing now was pointless. Once the solar deity descended and smashed into the core of the earth before exploding, all living beings within the Xuandang Great World would undoubtedly perish.

Donghuang Taiyi was furious. This brute dared to attack him.

Perfected Person Taiyi, Xing Tian, and the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny were all stunned.

This ferocious beast actually attacked Donghuang Taiyi—could it really have been summoned by Qin Jun?

"Even Qiongqi can be subdued..." Perfected Person Taiyi muttered, Qin Jun suddenly seemed unfathomable to him.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny felt even more uncomfortable.

Underlings like Xing Tian, Perfected Person Taiyi, and Qiongqi in Qin Jun’s service were no less than him, not to mention Patriarch Bodhi.

Under his very nose, such a prodigy had emerged, making him feel as if he was dreaming.

"What ’number one under heaven’... It’s all a joke..." The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny wore a bitter smile, now he could only pray that Qin Jun’s subordinates would be able to stop Donghuang Taiyi.

Bang—

Donghuang Taiyi swung the thousand-yard-tall Chaos Bell, crashing it onto Qiongqi’s head, causing the beast to roar in anger, yet it was not knocked away.

Qiongqi opened its massive mouth and bit down on the Chaos Bell.

A flicker of disdain passed through Donghuang Taiyi’s eyes. Thinking of biting through his Chaos Bell?

Not possible, even with a million years of cultivation!

With a casual flick, the Chaos Bell vibrated, flinging Qiongqi away.

At the same time, a black hole appeared above the sea of clouds. One by one, twelve figures emerged, nine men and three women, all wearing brass masks engraved with mysterious patterns. Their robes were uniform in style—red with black patterns, with dragons and phoenixes vying for glory. As the wind blew the patterns on their robes, the dragons and phoenixes seemed to come alive.

"Huh? A battle of entering the realm of the sage realm powerhouses?"

The leading robust man expressed in surprise. His black hair was tied up with a yellow crown, his face handsome, and his eyes bright like the moon, making others hesitant to meet his gaze.

"I did not expect the Xuandang Great World to produce such a figure."

"Two powerhouses entering the realm of the sage, and quite a few Daluo beginning immortals. It seems we have been negligent of the Xuandang Great World."

"After all, this is the cradle of immortals and gods."

"Perhaps the youngster who performed the God Summoning Technique died at the hands of one of them."

The other eleven voiced their opinions. Even after witnessing Donghuang Taiyi’s descent as the solar god, they remained calm, instead evaluating the situation.

"Great Venerable, shall we make a move?"

A red-haired woman beside the robust man inquired. This woman had a lovely face but an exceptionally cold demeanor, and an air of death seemed to emanate from her.
