The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 957 Kṣitigarbha

Chapter 957: Chapter 957 Kṣitigarbha

"Speak or not?"

Qin Jun’s gaze intensified as he lifted his right hand, flames of the Samadhi Real Fire danced in his palm like a demon writhing, causing Nangong Yifeng’s heart to palpitate inexplicably.

What kind of flame was this?

Nangong Yitian’s eyes widened as if he had thought of something, and he exclaimed in shock, "Are you Ji Yongsheng? Impossible! Aren’t you dead?"

Ji Yongsheng!

Once a terror that disturbed the Ancient Immortal Realm, he had fought alone against a host of immortals from the Ancient Immortal Realm and had only been subdued when Canghua Immortal Venerable intervened.

Back then, he had also participated in the genocidal war against the Holy Realm of Xuandang’s great world. At that time, he was very weak, insignificant among the immortals, but the shock Ji Yongsheng had given him was still vivid in his memory.

That towering figure seemed like it would never fall, and nobody was his match.

No wonder he felt Qin Jun looked familiar.

Qin Jun bore a strong resemblance to Ji Yongsheng, and coupled with their similar fiery aura, it made him believe Qin Jun was Ji Yongsheng.

But he quickly dismissed that thought.

Ji Yongsheng had been dead for one hundred and thirty thousand years, it was impossible he was still alive!

Could it be that Qin Jun was a descendant of Ji Yongsheng?

"Would I die? I still have to slaughter your Ancient Immortal Realm," Qin Jun said with a light laugh, yet his smile seemed ice-cold to Nangong Yifeng, as if he was looking at a dead man.

"You really are..." Nangong Yifeng’s complexion underwent a drastic change, his expression as though he had seen a ghost.

Had Ji Yongsheng truly come back to life?

A war deity who had fallen for one hundred and thirty thousand years had actually revived and was now claiming he would slaughter the Ancient Immortal Realm, giving Nangong Yifeng a feeling as if the sky was collapsing.

"Speak quickly!"

Qin Jun said impatiently, and as he spoke, he threw the Samadhi Real Fire onto Nangong Yifeng’s chest.

His Samadhi Real Fire had already undergone transformation, merged with the bloodline of the extreme flame demon lord, and absorbed the true fire of the sun, surpassing the limits of the Samadhi Real Fire.

In an instant, Nangong Yifeng’s face twisted in pain, and he screamed, "I’ll talk! I’ll talk!"

Even those who had reached the realm of entering the sage realm dared not endure Qin Jun’s flames!

Of course, a big reason was that Nangong Yifeng couldn’t activate his magical powers.

Most cultivators practiced energy refining, and there were very few body cultivators at any stage of cultivation.

"We, the Steal Moon Sect, control the underworld of various great worlds, and even the Nether Emperor from your underworld has caught the attention of our sect leader. He has contacted our sect leader to say that the underworld of Xuandang’s great world is being targeted by you, and it is about to fall..."

Nangong Yifeng began to recount the cause of the events, causing Qin Jun’s gaze to grow colder and colder.

The Nether Emperor truly lived up to his name.

He even dared to deceive him!

Now, with the Hall of Heavenly Destiny, the Netherworld, the ruins, and the Sword Court at the forefront, the Anti-Qin Alliance had already been formed. In a few days, they might send troops to fight against the Great Qin Heavenly Court, and the war sweeping through Xuandang’s great world would officially break out.

Unexpectedly, before the great war commenced, the Nether Emperor dared to ask the powerhouses of the Ancient Immortal Realm to launch a surprise attack on him.

The Nether Emperor was directly listed on his must-kill list.

"Hmph, thinking you could rest easy with the help of the Ancient Immortal Realm?"

Qin Jun scoffed disdainfully, then instructed Patriarch Bodhi, "Bind him, and don’t let him resist me."

"Yes!"

Patriarch Bodhi lifted his right hand, and Nangong Yifeng felt as if he were grasped by an invisible force, then his body lifted off, shocking his mind. He wanted to plead for mercy, but found he could not make a sound.

Qin Jun’s expression was icy as he pressed out a drop of his blood from his left index finger, containing offspring of the Myriad Tribulations Sacrificial Worm.

The origins of the Myriad Tribulations Sacrificial Worm were mysterious and unfathomable. Once its blood-born offspring fused into an enemy’s body, it could control them.

Of course, under normal circumstances, it was nigh impossible to merge one’s blood into the body of someone far stronger than oneself, but since Nangong Yitian’s magical powers were sealed, he had no defense and was unutterably miserable.

As Qin Jun’s blood rapidly approached, Nangong Yifeng’s pupils constricted, but to no avail.

...

Under the blue sky, the Nether Emperor stood on the mountain peak. Here, one could feel the spatial breath of the Southern Domain’s world, but he dared not intrude.

"Could it really be a defeat?"

The Nether Emperor trembled all over. With Nangong Yifeng’s cultivation, he could destroy the Southern Domain’s world in an instant, but now all was calm as if no battle had occurred, which made him very uneasy.

If Nangong Yifeng had been defeated, he had no idea how to report to his lord.

Just then, a rip appeared in the air, followed by a girl in white garments emerging; it was none other than Bai Ze.

Her white clothes fluttered in the wind, her long hair like a black waterfall, wearing a fur hat, her beautiful features slightly naive but cold and dignified, setting her apart from the rest.

"Would the famed Nether Emperor also skulk around?" Bai Ze asked softly.

With her cultivation reaching the early stages of the Luoshi Immortal Realm, naturally, she was not afraid of the Nether Emperor.

The Nether Emperor frowned and immediately thought of leaving, but Bai Ze suddenly attacked, with fierce winds assaulting him, causing him to deeply focus and hastily evade.

"This woman is also a Luoshi Immortal!"

The Nether Emperor’s heart was struck by towering waves of shock. Just how many Luoshi Immortals did the Great Qin heavenly court have?

...

Dusk arrived.

"Huh——"

Qin Jun let out a breath, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, with Nangong Yifeng lying before his feet.

It had taken him a full two hours to merge the Myriad Tribulations Sacrificial Worm with Nangong Yifeng’s vital essence. Now, Nangong Yifeng was his puppet.

"Your Majesty, what kind of technique is this?" Patriarch Bodhi asked with curiosity.

A Golden Immortal had turned a practitioner entering the realm of the sage into a puppet; even Patriarch Bodhi couldn’t comprehend how.

Qin Jun shrugged and said with a smile, "I’m not entirely clear myself, it’s a type of worm someone gave me."

He had asked the Black Butterfly Fairy about the origin of the Myriad Tribulations Sacrificial Worm, but she too could not trace its origins, having found it by chance.

He had a feeling that the origins of the Myriad Tribulations Sacrificial Worm were definitely enormous, possibly not even weaker than the Extreme Flame Demon God.

"A worm?" Patriarch Bodhi frowned. What kind of worm could be so domineering?

Nangong Yifeng slowly regained consciousness. He suddenly widened his eyes, quickly jumped up, and subconsciously threw a punch at Qin Jun. However, his fist stopped in front of Qin Jun’s face, unable to advance any further.

The offspring worm cannot attack the master worm, and with just a thought, the master worm can cause the offspring worm to die.

This is the Myriad Tribulations Sacrificial Worm!

"What’s going on..."

Nangong Yifeng’s face was covered in cold sweat, finding his body out of his own control, and his holy bones unable to exert any power in Qin Jun’s presence.

"Kneel down!"

Qin Jun said with a grave voice, causing Nangong Yifeng to feel as though he had been struck by lightning, and he knelt down with a thud.

Just like that, Qin Jun had subjugated a powerful being at the mid-stage of entering the realm of the sage.

Without the help of Patriarch Bodhi, he would’ve been unable to do so, because a sage realm practitioner’s holy bones would automatically resist the Myriad Tribulations Sacrificial Worm.

"System, summon a Luoshi Immortal Realm at full completion, Kṣitigarbha!"

Qin Jun suddenly commanded in his mind, ready to open a second battlefield.

The actions of the Nether Emperor had angered him; he must seize the Netherworld’s land and slay the Nether Emperor!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning Kṣitigarbha. Would you like to restore past-life memory?"

"Do not restore!"

Kṣitigarbha was very powerful, not becoming a Buddha by choice rather than inability.

Qin Jun had inquired about Kṣitigarbha’s might from Patriarch Bodhi, who answered that it was comparable to Maitreya Buddha.
