Chapter 976: Chapter 976: Eve of the Decisive Battle

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Divine Thunders carrying the aura of destruction rained down, collapsing the barren land, the mountains, and the valleys. The entire Juetian Plain was under Heavenly Tribulation.

How vast was Juetian Plain, as far as the eye could see, thunderbolts continued to strike down. The breath of destruction wafted through the air, leaving no living creatures, no plants; dark clouds obscured the sun, turning the sky as dark as the Netherworld.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny hovered tens of thousands of meters in the air, his red robe dyed even darker with blood, yet it remained unscathed, indicating its extraordinary quality.

At this moment, his eyes were blood-red, and his long hair whipped about wildly. His face was covered in blood marks; he truly resembled a fierce demon incarnate.

Despite the thunderbolts striking him, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny did not even frown.

A red light flickered from his hands that he revealed from his sleeves, and the surrounding space twisted along with them.

The sacred bones he had condensed were his hand bones, and he had turned both hands into sacred bones in one go. If this news spread beyond the heavens, it would certainly cause a huge uproar.

"Worthy of sacred bones from an ancient Great Emperor... This feeling is too wonderful..."

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny murmured as he looked at his hands; the item he had been integrating during his seclusion was indeed the sacred bones.

Like Qin Jun, only Qin Jun was integrating his past life’s sacred bones.

The Emperor’s sacred bones had been obtained thousands of years ago by chance. As the protagonist of heaven and earth, his qi movement was the most magnificent in the world, and his adventures were endless. He had once ventured into a forbidden land, unexpectedly finding the sacred bones of an ancient Great Emperor.

What being a Great Emperor represented, he did not yet know, but the origins of that Great Emperor were even more ancient than the Holy Court.

The legacy of that Great Emperor was of utmost importance to the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny’s rise to power today.

"Roar—"

A soul-shaking roar echoed high in the sky, the sound waves sweeping in different directions and quickly spreading across the whole Xuandang Great World.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny looked up sharply, just in time to see the clouds parting and the massive head of a Qilin, as large as a mountain, poking through. The Qilin, formed from gathered thunder and lightning, shone brilliantly, its presence terrifying.

A Thunder Qilin capable of destroying the heavens and the earth!

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny furrowed his brows, facing such a tribulation for the first time. Entering the realm of the sage was to battle against the heavens!

...

In the Southern Domain heavenly world.

Qin Jun stood at the edge of the royal flower garden, staring blankly at the blood-red sky in silence.

A night had passed since the oppressive force of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny’s ascension came upon them, but that pressure still lingered.

Suddenly, Pipa appeared behind him, knelt on one knee, and said with a salute, "Your Majesty, according to reliable reports, it is indeed the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny who is crossing the tribulation. A night has passed, and the Juetian Plain is still under the Thunder Tribulation, with the surrounding domains also suffering the effects."

The Great Qin Heavenly Court obtained this news, and so did the other powers of the world.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was crossing his tribulation—what did that mean?

It meant he had grown stronger!

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was a true peerless genius throughout the ages; with each breakthrough, his strength would undergo an earth-shattering transformation.

With the Anti-Qin Alliance retreating step by step, the breakthrough of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny offered new hope to the other great figures.

"Oh? A night of tribulation?" Qin Jun turned and asked.

How long had it been since the Hundred Heroes Conference?

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny had actually reached the realm of the sage.

This was no small matter.

Normally, just condensing the sacred bones would take several years at least. Could it be that the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny had integrated the sacred bones of a great power?

Qin Jun stroked his chin, contemplating. The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, the protagonist of heaven and earth, had fortunes beyond ordinary imagination.

Just like the novels from the past life, the protagonist would always come back stronger after each defeat.

"Yes, if the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny successfully breaks through, it could be a threat to our Great Qin Celestial Court..." Pipa nodded and then cautiously reminded Qin Jun.

If they seized this opportunity to send Patriarch Bodhi to assassinate the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, it would rid the Great Qin Celestial Court of a major concern.

Qin Jun waved his hand and laughed, "Even if the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny succeeds in his breakthrough, he is still no match for our Great Qin Celestial Court."

Joking aside, Patriarch Bodhi is a late-stage Manifesting Saint.

He simply didn’t believe that the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny could leap from the pinnacle of the Daluo beginning Immortal Realm to the late stage of Manifesting Saint overnight—that would be ridiculous!

He wanted to wait for the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny to come with his great momentum, and then defeat him once more in front of the whole world, at which point the so-called Anti-Qin Alliance would completely disintegrate, and no one in the world would dare to contend with him again.

Although Pipa was somewhat worried, seeing Qin Jun’s full confidence, she dared not say more.

Time flew swiftly until three days later when the oppressive aura that pervaded the Xuandang Great World finally dissipated.

By then, all creatures understood that the Thunder Tribulation of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny had passed.

Two days after that, the Hall of Heavenly Destiny forcefully declared war on the Great Qin Celestial Court, causing an uproar all over the world.

"The Great Emperor has returned!"

"The once number one person under the heavens is finally avenging himself!"

"Heavenly Emperor of Qin was but a brief wonder. I believe that the Great Emperor is the true unrivaled ruler of the world."

"Is the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny seeking death, daring to provoke the Heavenly Emperor of Qin now?"

"Heavenly Emperor of Qin already represents the great momentum. He will soon unite the Xuandang Great World. After a hundred thousand years, it’s time for the heavens and earth to unify."

"With Heavenly Emperor of Qin being so domineering, letting him unify the heavens and earth will surely be a disaster in the future!"

People from all regions of the world were discussing Qin Jun and the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, with most people placing their hopes on the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny. After all, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny had been the world’s number one since their birth, and Qin Jun’s sudden emergence made creatures instinctively resistant; moreover, the actions of the Heavenly Emperor of Qin were domineering and unreasonable.

When the news reached the Junzheng Hall of the Great Qin Celestial Court, Qin Jun burst into laughter, leaving the civil and military officials looking at each other in bemusement.

"The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny’s action signifies the Anti-Qin Alliance’s last stand. Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the imminent unification of heaven and earth," Bai Ze said quietly.

The rest of the civil and military officials were stunned. Could flattery really be taken this far?

Despite their puzzlement, they nevertheless followed up with congratulations for Qin Jun.

Once the great hall calmed down, Qin Jun finally said, laughing, "The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny is not to be feared. In the future, there will be no Nine Emperors, only the Heavenly Emperor of Qin."

These words excited all the civil and military officials. Nowadays, who wasn’t proud to be an official or general of the Great Qin Celestial Court?

How many were vying desperately to become a member of the Junzheng Hall?

In their hearts, the Nine Emperiors had long ceased to exist; only their Heavenly Emperor did.

"Continue to recruit talent, and send people to take charge in each region. We also need to enlist soldiers in the newly acquired regions..."

Qin Jun changed the subject and continued to issue orders.

As the domains under the Great Qin Celestial Court grew, so did their affairs become increasingly busy.

They had to conduct wars and quickly take control of the situations in their regions, keeping the civil officials incessantly busy.

While the Great Qin Celestial Court was making its preparations, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny also gathered dozens of lords and emperors.

Martial General Ding and the Yan Emperor sat below, both with grim expressions. Among the Nine Emperors, only they and the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny were willing to oppose the Heavenly Emperor of Qin. They understood what failing meant but had no choice but to proceed.

Randeng, Xu Chongsheng, and the Demon Emperor did not participate. With the Nether Emperor fallen and the Sword Master captured, the Nine Emperors had become a joke.

"The Great Qin Celestial Court is thriving, and we can’t confront it head-on. I will infiltrate the Southern Domain Heaven World to disrupt the center of the Great Qin Celestial Court and assassinate the Heavenly Emperor of Qin," the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny said softly, seated in the highest place. He appeared calmly indifferent as always, but the bloodstains on his face made him seem incredibly daunting.
