1473: Chapter 1473: The Evil Hook Chen 1473: Chapter 1473: The Evil Hook Chen In the Dark Hall, flickering azure-blue candle flames swayed eerily and morbidly.
“Hmm?
Is it truly a message from Ji Haoye and Baili Shouyue?”
Atop the high platform, a towering figure sat on a white bone throne, flanked by several long swords standing upright like ground spikes.
This person had blood-red hair, wore thick black iron armor, and the chest plate resembled a ferocious beast, its fierce face almost seemed to roar.
He was slightly bowing his head, and the hair in front of his forehead was a bit disheveled, covering most of his face.
As he slowly raised his head, a long, narrow scar on his right face was revealed, horrific and grotesque.
It was none other than Emperor Gouchen!
Compared to the Chaos era, his demeanor had changed completely, as if he had become a demon god.
He had indeed fallen into the path of the Demon, ranking among the ten Demon Emperors.
Kneeling below the steps was a being with an upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake, wearing blood-red garments and a mask, her figure suggesting that she was a woman.
“Yes, their message has been here for some time, but as Your Majesty was in seclusion, I did not wish to disturb you,” replied the Snake Demon cautiously, her heart frightened by Emperor Gouchen’s murderous aura, sending chills down her scalp.
“Hmm, go down!” instructed Emperor Gouchen, holding two scrolls in his hand.
He rarely contacted the old members of the Heavenly Emperor’s temple, primarily because of his current identity.
Although a Demon Emperor has prestige in the ancient imperial path, they are also ostracized and have a tarnished reputation.
He was curious about why Ji Haoye and Baili Shouyue would send him messages at the same time.
Could it be that some major event had occurred?
With that thought, he swept over the scrolls with his Divine Consciousness.
The next second, he suddenly stood up, his face full of disbelief, his body trembling uncontrollably.
“Heavenly Emperor has returned?
How is this possible…
after so long…
he’s still alive?”
Emperor Gouchen muttered to himself like a madman, his face turning from pale to flush.
At this moment, his heart was filled with shame and he found no place to hide himself.
He crushed the scrolls in his hands, looked at his own hands, and clenched his teeth in fury.
If the Heavenly Emperor indeed returned, how would he, in his current state, face the Heavenly Emperor?
“It can’t be…
If the Heavenly Emperor really came back, why wouldn’t he come to the ancient sanctuary?”
All of a sudden, Emperor Gouchen shook his head, having waited countless ages, having held many unparalleled battles, but never seeing the Heavenly Emperor, he had long lost hope, thinking the Heavenly Emperor had forgotten them or had fallen.
“But if His Majesty truly returned…
how should I face him?”
Emperor Gouchen’s heart was in complete turmoil, slumped back onto the white bone throne, his thoughts drowning in reminiscence.
…
Boom——
The void of the universe shattered under a fierce column of flame, as if a sudden burst of rainbow light appeared in the darkness.
Xia Shenwu was sent flying backward at high speed, breaking through the barriers of the universal spatial planes, among the chaos of time and space currents, with Qin Jun in relentless pursuit.
Qin Jun, at that moment, was invoking the Fighting Dao Secret Characters, the Heavenly Emperor’s divine body, and a state of rage, resembling a figure of fire, with an overbearing aura, and the Primordial Emperor Sword in his hands burst forth with radiant firelight, extending millions of feet long, sweeping across like a line of fire.
The appearance of Qin Jun in his Heavenly Emperor’s divine body made it impossible to see his true face or assess his injuries.
In contrast, Xia Shenwu, with his crystal body, now bore cracks, and his face was covered in blood.
“How is his physique even stronger than my Supreme Overlord Body?”
Xia Shenwu gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
Despite reverence for Qin Jun’s identity, Qin Jun’s cultivation was only at the Supreme realm but was still able to suppress him beyond his level, which dealt a severe blow to his confidence.
After all, he was an existence of the fourth heaven of the Emperor’s realm!
In the ancient sanctuary, he could ride unopposed!
Unfortunately, Qin Jun did not care about all that, swiftly closing the distance to confront him, tens of thousands of Di Yanlong auras howling out from his body, striking him and accelerating his backward flight.
Crack—
Xia Shenwu once again shattered a layer of spatial barrier, falling into the path of time and space amongst the stars.
The stars within the multicolored star path were incredibly tiny; this path also had another name—the Ancient Saintly Emperor Path.
Qin Jun followed into the Ancient Saintly Emperor Path, his full attention on Xia Shenwu, paying no mind to the star path itself.
“It seems my true combat strength should be in the sixth or seventh heavens of the Great Dao Emperor realm!”
Qin Jun thought to himself, well aware of Xia Shenwu’s realm, after all, he had many individuals under his command who surpassed Xia Shenwu.
This answer did not excite him.
Even if he defeated Xia Shenwu, it would hardly bring him a sense of achievement, after all, times change.
At this moment, Xia Shenwu violently tore apart tens of thousands of Di Yanlong energies, his figure soared, reaching a height of a million zhang; his right palm carried the overpowering strength that swept across the heavens and universe as he struck down.
“Hmm?”
Qin Jun was moved, because this palm strike gave him an inexplicably horrifying feeling.
The palm wind was formless, and upon reaching in front of Qin Jun, it suddenly burst forth.
It was an immensely vast Cangqiong giant palm, formed of white mana, like a cloud palm, larger than the sun, making Qin Jun, who was a million zhang tall, seem so insignificant, like a stone at the foot of Mount Tai.
Qin Jun was instantly engulfed by the Cangqiong cloud palm, the giant palm then dissipated, transforming into boundless mist.
Within the universe of the Heavenly Emperor, on a desolate planet.
Ji Haoye, Ji Qiankun, Xuandang, Huo Qubing, Guan Zhong, Guo Jia, Di Jun, Qiang Liang, Jing Ke, Di Jiang, and other first rank divine generals of the Great Qin heavenly court all gathered here.
Above Xuandang’s head floated a light sphere, displaying the battle between Qin Jun and Xia Shenwu, causing everyone to watch in trepidation.
“Is His Majesty in danger?” Di Jiang watched nervously, hastily asking, signalling Ji Haoye and others to prepare to intervene at any time.
After an extreme awakening, Di Jiang’s cultivation also went through earth-shattering changes.
“Di Jiang, from mythology!”
“Identity: Zhu Wu!
God of Space!”
“Cultivation: Seventh heaven of the Great Dao Emperor realm!”
“Cultivation method: Proving the Dao with strength!”
“Divine Power: True Body of the Ancestral Witch!
Mysteries of Space!
Shattered Star Space!”
“Special attribute: First Tyrant of the Witches (Pressure the enemy with murderous aura during battle, murderous aura strengthens with each additional witch nearby)!”
“Loyalty: 100 (Full value 100)!”
The seventh heaven of the Great Dao Emperor realm, same as Di Jun.
And that’s just from the extreme awakening!
His breakthrough made Ji Haoye, Huo Qubing, and others even more curious about Qin Jun, what Divine Power did His Majesty use to boost his subordinates’ cultivation?
The increase in cultivation was simply too much!
Even a mighty being like Wují couldn’t achieve this!
“No worries, His Majesty’s presence is still there,” Guo Jia shook his head.
How could someone like Xia Shenwu pose a threat to their Emperor?
“Wait, something is not right!”
Ji Haoye suddenly frowned, and Xuandang did the same.
Both of them transcended the Supreme Great Emperor, stronger than Huo Qubing, sensing something others did not.
As they spoke, both disappeared from their spot.
“What’s happening?” Qiang Liang asked anxiously, as he, being a Great Dao Emperor realm cultivator, did not notice anything unusual.
Guo Jia, Guan Zhong, Huo Qubing, and Ji Qiankun did not respond, but Jing Ke frowned, harboring the Curse Dao, he had an extremely powerful premonitory ability.
