The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 979

Chapter 979: 979

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

Countless blood blades swept toward the flying islands in all directions, moving extremely fast, leaving no time for the creatures on the islands to react before impact.

In an instant, explosions erupted one after another, and one could only watch as island after island was blasted apart, screams rising everywhere; none of the creatures on the islands that were hit survived.

When the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny made his move, the aura of someone entering the realm of the sage filled the entire Southern Domain’s heavenly world, alerting all creatures.

"You insolent fool, how dare you!"

The angry shout of Patriarch Bodhi resonated as he watched over the situation; the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny still dared to slaughter the innocent, which was intolerable!

As soon as those words fell, Patriarch Bodhi approached from the horizon, walking on golden lotuses, covering tens of thousands of meters with each step.

"So fast!"

The pupils of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny shrank, his fighting spirit soaring, not retreating but advancing instead.

He withdrew the blood zither, his hands turning ghastly red, like ghost hands, as his sacred bones revealed their might, emitting dazzling blood light.

"Bodhi! Today, I will defeat you first, and then I will seek revenge against the Demon Emperor; I want the whole world to know that I am the one chosen by Destiny!"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny looked at Patriarch Bodhi with a sinister smile, his eyes full of murderous intent, his eye whites stained with blood, menacing.

After breaking through to entering the realm of the sage, his confidence had returned. Perhaps, influenced by the imperial sacred bones, he had even become somewhat arrogant.

In the face of his bluster, Patriarch Bodhi remained expressionless and swept his Dust Brush directly at the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny.

The sound of sonic booms was incessant, and before the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny could react, he was struck squarely by the Dust Brush, the powerful force sending him flying back, blood uncontrollably spewing from his mouth.

Boom—

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was sent hurtling backward tens of thousands of meters and broke through the spatial barrier, flying out of the Southern Domain’s heavenly world.

Patriarch Bodhi moved with genuine fury, disappearing from the spot in a flash.

Like a rainbow, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny flew across high mountains and deep valleys, sweeping over prairies and rivers, shattering peak after peak. He entered from the eastern side of the Western Domain, and in no time, flew out, his momentum unstoppable as creatures along the way were torn into pieces by the fierce winds, scattering in the sky.

The power of someone in the late stages of Manifesting Saint was immense—ordinary warriors of the Daluo Realm could even be blown apart on the spot.

After entering the realm of the sage, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was still in disarray.

With a thunderous crash—

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny slammed into a giant mountain thousands of meters tall, causing it to crack and nearly crumble.

Grinding his teeth as he opened his eyes, he saw the figure before him was indeed Patriarch Bodhi, towering like a great mountain, blocking out the sun.

Looking down at the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, Patriarch Bodhi’s face was unemotional, his eyes as cold as piercing arrows, making the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny dare not meet his gaze.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Patriarch Bodhi uttered coldly, causing the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny to shiver.

Impossible...

How could he be this powerful...

The blood light in the eyes of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny almost solidified as his mentality completely collapsed.

He had thought that after breaking through to entering the realm of the sage, he could contend with Patriarch Bodhi, but he didn’t expect to be no match in the face of Patriarch Bodhi.

His worldview shattered; he couldn’t understand how he, once invincible across heaven and earth, had become so weak.

What had changed him?

Or was his entire former life a lie?

Little did he know, Patriarch Bodhi had also become stronger—perhaps before, he might have been able to fight back.

But now, Patriarch Bodhi was a terrifying being in the late stages of Manifesting Saint, and with no saint stepping forward, no one could take Patriarch Bodhi’s life.

"I didn’t want to kill you, but to think you would cause such chaos!"

Patriarch Bodhi chastised majestically; the recent act of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny had cost many lives of the citizens of Great Qin Heaven’s Court, and if Qin Jun were to return, he would surely be furious.

Under his watch over the Southern Domain’s heavenly world, such an incident was intolerable.

Emperor of Heavenly Destiny clenched his teeth, trying to stand up, when Patriarch Bodhi’s left index finger jabbed twice, two beams of golden light piercing through both of Emperor of Heavenly Destiny’s legs, splattering fresh blood on the mountain wall, causing so much pain that his brows furrowed.

Even though the pain was unbearable, Emperor of Heavenly Destiny still struggled to stand.

Even if his pride was shattered, he still wanted to fight.

He was the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, the chosen one of destiny; even in death, he would die standing!

"I didn’t expect... you to be so powerful... I miscalculated..."

Emperor of Heavenly Destiny said through clenched teeth as blood flowed down the corner of his mouth, refusing to beg for mercy despite his grievous injuries.

Patriarch Bodhi’s eyes flickered, slowly raising the Dust Brush in his right hand, preparing to finish off Emperor of Heavenly Destiny.

At that moment, Emperor of Heavenly Destiny’s hands suddenly burst forth with a blinding red light.

With a boom, an unimaginable force surged forward, sending Patriarch Bodhi flying away.

"Hmph, little fellow, you dare to call yourself destiny, go back and train some more!"

A domineering voice, as if from the ancient era of Primordial Chaos, emanated from within Emperor of Heavenly Destiny. The huge mountain behind him crumbled, turning into myriad pebbles flying in all directions, creating a spectacular scene as the five-thousand-zhang tall mountain vanished in the blink of an eye, as if time had sped up.

Emperor of Heavenly Destiny’s eyes widened in complete surprise, unclear about the situation.

The next second, a spatial rift appeared behind Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, a powerful suction force pulling him in, and then, the spatial rift rapidly closed.

After regaining his composure, Patriarch Bodhi could no longer sense the presence of Emperor of Heavenly Destiny.

"How is this possible... that power just now..."

Patriarch Bodhi’s face drastically changed, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

The existence that could send him flying had to be at least at the peak of the Manifesting Saint realm.

Possibly, even a saint...

Was there such a supremely powerful being standing behind Emperor of Heavenly Destiny?

The more Patriarch Bodhi thought about it, the more frightened he became, the cold sweat beading like peas.

...

In the Divine Realm, within the castle of God Temple.

Qin Jun placed the small white jade bottle in his hand into the mythology space, which contained the essence blood of Black Butterfly Fairy.

Her current state was simply not suitable for traveling to the Ancient Immortal Realm, where the slightest carelessness could easily result in the destruction of both body and cultivation.

Qin Jun intended to use her essence blood to secure her a chance at becoming immortal.

"Maybe... I should just forget it... it’s too dangerous..."

Black Butterfly Fairy, still hiding her face with her hands, appeared very hesitant.

Traveling to the Ancient Immortal Realm was fraught with dangers, and she just couldn’t feel at ease. She did not want Qin Jun to fall into danger because of her.

"It’s fine, I happen to be going to the Ancient Immortal Realm myself, and during this time, you can stay on my Saint Emperor Peak," Qin Jun said with a shaking head and a smile. With no one in the present Xuandang Great World capable of resisting the might of Great Qin Heavenly Court, he could leave for the Ancient Immortal Realm with peace of mind.

As for whether the God and Demon would betray him, he could check their loyalty through property listings.

He just had to wait a bit longer, to gather a force of devoted and loyal pinnacle followers once more.

Either Grand Supreme Elderly Lord or Patriarch Bodhi could stay to oversee the Xuandang Great World, while the other accompanied him to conquer the Ancient Immortal Realm.

After giving it some thought, Black Butterfly Fairy nodded in agreement.

Staying here was indeed dangerous; with her cultivation dispersed, it was inevitable that some under her command might harbor ambitious thoughts.

Qin Jun picked her up from the bed and then left the palace.

Exiting the door, the guards who saw Qin Jun carrying Black Butterfly Fairy hurriedly surrounded him.

"What are you trying to... trying to do..."

One of the guards stammered out the question, his legs trembling visibly with extreme fear.
