Chapter 938: Chapter 938: The Number One Emperor in the World

"Who else dares to defy Our majesty!"

Qin Jun swept his gaze across the heaven and earth, his eyes filled with intimidating firelight, making it impossible for anyone to meet his gaze.

His voice echoed throughout the entire Juetian Plain, exciting divine beings like Sun Wukong and Yang Jian immensely. The lords were still in shock, not to mention the creatures watching the battle, who were almost scared to death.

In the sky, a Taoist in a black robe stared at Qin Jun, speechless. It was none other than the Taoist Heavenly Venerable.

The Taoist Heavenly Venerable stood tall and straight, with an ordinary appearance but spirited eyes, looking as if he were just over forty years old, emanating a transcendent aura, like an enlightened sage.

He had intended to come and support Qin Jun, just in time to witness the scene where Qin Jun knocked down Donghuang Taiyi with a punch.

"Am I dreaming..."

The Taoist Heavenly Venerable murmured, for that was Donghuang Taiyi!

As a disciple of Primordial Lord of Heaven with memories of his past life, he had naturally witnessed Donghuang Taiyi’s splendor.

When the Demon Clan ruled the heavens, Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun were unspeakably arrogant. They would annihilate any clan that didn’t submit. At that time, only the Witch Clan could contend with them, while the newly created Human Clan became mere food for the demons.

"He’s too strong!"

"Thank goodness we’re at a distance... otherwise, we’d all have been shaken to death..."

"So it turns out that the Holy Emperor of Qin is the strongest in the world..."

"Pah, have you forgotten Kong Xuan who just left?"

"Kong Xuan is also one of the Holy Emperor of Qin’s people, isn’t he? Would he have come to help if their relationship wasn’t good?"

The creatures discussed excitedly, as if they saw a peerless prodigy rising, who would shake the ancient and illuminate the present.

However, Qin Jun narrowed his eyes. The lack of system notification sounds meant that he had not yet defeated Donghuang Taiyi.

Looking down, the rolling dust began to disperse in the strong wind. The Golden Crow that Donghuang Taiyi had transformed into lay in a massive crater. It was still covered by the phantom image of a golden bell. Although Qin Jun had knocked him down with a punch, Donghuang Taiyi was only shaken and not seriously harmed, thanks to the protection of the Chaos Bell.

The Golden Crow rapidly shrank, transforming back into the human form of Donghuang Taiyi.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Donghuang Taiyi slowly got up. Qin Jun’s punch had caused his qi and blood to surge, and he was filled with a mix of shock and rage.

His eyes, filled with bloodshot veins, looked up at Qin Jun high above. A flicker of confusion passed through them.

Even if Qin Jun could contend with someone entering the realm of the sage and his strength had quadrupled, theoretically, he should not have been able to injure him, but the power of Qin Jun far surpassed what it seemed on the surface.

"Just who on earth are you!"

Donghuang Taiyi gritted his teeth and shouted, his eyes brimming with hatred.

It was the first time he had been humiliated since his arrival in the Xuandang Great World. How could his proud self let go of this?

"We are the Holy Emperor. Destined to tower above the three thousand worlds," said Qin Jun, looking down at him with a ferocious smile. His words reached the ears of all creatures, setting the blood of those watching ablaze.

To tower above the three thousand worlds!

For the creatures of Xuandang Great World, let alone the three thousand worlds, even breaking through the void was something only heard in legends.

They never expected Qin Jun to have such lofty ambitions.

Donghuang Taiyi wasn’t shocked, but rather became more furious. He could not stand to see anyone more arrogant than himself.

"Then if you’re capable, kill me!"

Donghuang Taiyi lifted the Chaos Bell and slowly flew up. The previous incident was just a moment of carelessness. Even after Qin Jun’s leap in power, he still was not afraid.

Qin Jun narrowed his eyes. This damn bird was like a cockroach that couldn’t be killed, too annoying to handle.

"It won’t work anymore... The power of my remnant soul is dissipating."

Just then, the voice of the remnant soul from a past life echoed in Qin Jun’s mind, causing his pupils to contract.

Immediately, he exited from the wrathful state and deactivated the Fighting Dao Secret Characters.

His body began to shrink, and his aura rapidly weakened, a sight that left countless creatures looking at each other in confusion. Even Donghuang Taiyi was puzzled.

They all thought that Qin Jun was truly powerful; it never occurred to them that there could be any Divine Power that would allow someone to leap from the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm to the strength of entering the realm of the sage in such a short period.

Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, Taiyi Scattered Immortal Realm, Taiyi Mysterious Immortal Realm!

Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, Daluo Supreme Immortal Realm, Daluo Luoshi Immortal Realm!

Entering the realm of the sage!

Breaking through each level of realm required both opportunity and qi movement, a rule of the Heavenly Dao that was irreversible.

Little did they know that Qin Jun, at present, possessed mysterious bloodlines and various heaven-defying Divine Powers.

Even without the system, he would have been destined to look down upon all beings in the future, but with the system, he was bound to stir up the three thousand worlds.

Soon, Qin Jun returned to his normal state, his aura also changed to the second level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm. Suppressing the blood rising in his throat, he feigned composure and said, "Demon Emperor, do you still not recognize the reality?"

His ancestral soul from the past life was already on the brink of collapse, and Qin Jun did not blindly force himself to hold on.

He also did not want his ancestral soul from the past life to dissipate directly, after all, having waited for him for one hundred and thirty thousand years, he needed to leave some last words to pass on before he could leave with peace of mind.

Donghuang Taiyi did not stop, but instead shouted angrily, "The reality my ass! I haven’t lost yet!"

Are the Nine Emperors stronger than the first emperor beneath the heavens?" Qin Jun scolded with a tone of disappointment and frustration.

"Donghuang Taiyi, where is your sanity? Have you forgotten the original intention of the Nine Emperors!"

Upon hearing these words, Donghuang Taiyi abruptly halted in the sky, while Patriarch Bodhi, Perfected Person, and Xing Tian quickly positioned themselves in front of Qin Jun.

The expression on Donghuang Taiyi’s face fluctuated wildly; he kept a low profile for over a decade, waiting for the moment of heaven-breaking.

The Nine Emperors existed for the purpose of breaking heaven.

Was he really going to engage in a life or death struggle with Qin Jun now?

The emergence of one powerful figure after another under Qin Jun’s command had already intimidated him, not to mention the possibility of an even stronger opponent appearing later on. Kong Xuan was a prime example, effortlessly slaughtering the twelve venerables of Xuanxu.

If the battle continued, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance he would fall, even with the protection of the Chaos Clock.

"There is more excitement beyond the heavens. This time you become the second emperor beneath the heavens. How about we determine the stronger of us outside the heavens in the future? I hope that by then, you will no longer be alone," Donghuang Taiyi said.

Qin Jun’s tone calmed down, speaking very seriously, but it was all a ruse.

Various Divine Beasts raced through his heart.

Had it not been for his ancestral soul nearly failing to bear the burden, he would have been eager to defeat Donghuang Taiyi to complete his mission.

If he had known it would come to this, he should have battled the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny first.

Alas...

Just as Qin Jun was lamenting in his heart, Donghuang Taiyi also found himself in a fierce internal struggle.

Beneath the night sky, silence descended once more.

All creatures gazed at Donghuang Taiyi; they too did not wish for him to continue persisting. With Juetian Plain destroyed, how many realms in the vicinity had been affected?

Should the battle go on, there was a chance that even the Xuandang Great World might be destroyed.

"The Nine Emperors are equals, and together they aim to break heaven. Both of you are exceptional sovereigns of your ages, why insist on fighting to the death?" Lou Nan, the master of Destiny Mansion, shouted, braving his courage. Representing the will of the Immortals and Gods, his status in the Xuandang Great World was the highest.

Qin Jun glanced at him. His look was so piercing that Lou Nan felt a chill all over him and dared not meet his gaze.

"That’s right. Today I have become the first emperor beneath the heavens, and I welcome you to reclaim it tomorrow."

Qin Jun continued along the lines of what Lou Nan had said, his own pride refusing to concede the position of the foremost emperor beneath the heavens.

Donghuang Taiyi clenched his left fist tightly and slowly lowered his right arm, which was holding the Chaos Clock, as he struggled to calm his emotions.

In truth, he had long understood that the position of the leading emperor beneath the heavens had already slipped away from him; he just refused to admit it.

"Am I really going to bow my head?"

Anger and helplessness intertwined in Donghuang Taiyi’s heart, as he had no desire to be second, only to be the foremost.
