1434: Chapter 1434: Prison Path Divine Emperor 1434: Chapter 1434: Prison Path Divine Emperor Silence pervaded the World Stabilizing Divine Tower, with nothing but the intermittent gasps for breath remaining.
Seated upon the Supreme Nine Dragons Throne, Qin Jun revealed a smile, pleased that Qiang Liang managed to stay true to his heart—a cultivation not in vain.
“Dammit!
If you’re going to concede, just concede!
What’s with this stunt?!”
“I’m speechless.
Is this guy looking for an opportunity to curry favor with the Heavenly Emperor?”
“Qiang Liang is quite impressive, could any of you give up glory so easily?”
“Just a step away from challenging the Great Emperor!”
“As if Qiang Liang could defeat the Heavenly Emperor of Qin; his surrender signals that he’s no match for the Heavenly Emperor!”
The beings began to argue amongst themselves.
Qiang Liang’s delay in conceding built up expectations among many, yet, disappointingly, he ended up conceding after all, provoking those dissatisfied with the Heavenly Emperor of Qin to spew curses.
Returning to the passageway where the Heavenly Court of Great Qin was located, Qiang Liang received cheers from the gods and demons.
Sun Wukong taunted with a laugh, “You big fool, I thought you were about to rebel!”
Li Yuanba and Luo Shixin nodded in agreement; Qiang Liang’s energy was overwhelming, making a potential rebellion quite a cause for concern.
“Hmph, my Witch Clan never betrays!”
The fiery-tempered Fire God retorted coldly, as if Sun Wukong was questioning his loyalty.
Qiang Liang chuckled, “I just wanted to stir up the spectators and Xia Shenwu.”
He could sense that the gap between him and Xia Shenwu was not vast.
Should he have chosen to challenge Xia Shenwu, surely Xia Shenwu would worry.
Qin Jun was able to defeat the Invincible Supreme, but he was still far from reaching Xia Shenwu’s level.
Ever since his defeat at the hands of Xia Shenwu, the Invincible Supreme had been cultivating ferociously.
He was getting stronger, but so was Xia Shenwu.
Amidst the earth-shattering noise, Xia Shenwu slowly rose to his feet, looking down from above, he declared, “I hereby announce that the Heavenly Emperor of Qin has won the Unrivaled Battle!
In one year, he will challenge me here!”
“Ding!
Main quest completed—Unrivaled Battle!
You’ve gained one opportunity for Great Dao inheritance, one for extreme awakening, two for god and demon summoning, one for loyal pinnacle, one for listening to the Dao, and eight for random draws!”
Another main quest completed!
Accumulating three extreme awakenings, together with the Ice Water Great Dao and Curse Dao, three Great Dao inheritances have been accumulated as well!
After the Unrivaled Battle, Qin Jun will once again strengthen the Heavenly Court of Great Qin, and dominate the inner universe.
“Mighty!
The great battle between Heavenly Emperor of Qin and Emperor Xia Shenwu!”
“The Heavenly Emperor of Qin will surely emerge victorious!”
“One year, can the Heavenly Emperor of Qin truly defeat Xia Shenwu?”
“Even the Invincible Supreme has fallen; how far off could Xia Shenwu be?”
“I find myself actually hoping for the Heavenly Emperor of Qin to win.”
The beings discussed heatedly as Xia Shenwu vanished from sight, signifying a temporary end to the Unrivaled Battle, with the real battle to come after a year.
Unrivaled, representing the strongest without equal!
This battle must yield a victor.
Following the disappearance of the magical array and light screen, the gods and demons of the Heavenly Court of Great Qin rushed into the arena, flying towards Qin Jun.
“Brother Qin Jun!
You’re amazing!”
Li shouted from midair, her joy uncontained.
Huo Qubing and Baili Shouyue approached Guo Jia and Guan Zhong, with Baili Shouyue excitedly saying, “My lords, you’ve finally arrived!”
Guan Zhong and Guo Jia nodded, blowing a sigh, for they had once thought Baili Shouyue foolish for forgoing his future to wait here for Qin Jun; now it was a sign of admiration.
Waiting for countless years, surely Qin Jun would repay him in the days to come.
“I didn’t expect you two to arrive first.”
Huo Qubing sighed, “The Twin Marvels of Chaos are the existence that are courted favor by all forces.
They are usually too busy to have any leisure, yet they arrived ahead of the others.”
Guo Jia laughed, “Yuanchu, Mo Jingcang, and the others are now Sovereigns; news hasn’t even reached their ears yet.
The Xiling Empress is still in seclusion, and the Heavenly Emperor’s Academy is too strict; the message is still under review.
The Holy Generals are out on experience, and who knows if the rest have received the news.”
Huo Qubing nodded.
With countless years passed, members of the old guard in the Heavenly Emperor’s Stone Palace were no longer so close to each other, some had even turned into enemies.
To reunite the Heavenly Emperor’s Stone Palace, only with the return of the Heavenly Emperor is possible.
“Let’s go and pay our respects to His Majesty!”
Guan Zhong shook his head with a smile.
They had always wanted to reunite the Heavenly Emperor’s Stone Palace, to sweep across the ancient sacred emperor’s path again, but alas, even their heavenly intelligence was not enough.
Without the Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor’s Stone Palace is never truly itself.
The four immediately leaped up and flew downward.
The creatures did not leave immediately, still in excitement, with most of the topic of conversation being about the dual Emperor’s battle in a year’s time.
“Your Majesty, we pay our respects!”
Guo Jia and Guan Zhong came in front of Qin Jun and performed a kowtow as a sign of respect.
Without Qin Jun, they would have long perished in the belly of a vicious beast.
Qin Jun gave them everything, and to this day, their loyalty remains absolute.
After eons, serving many a mighty lord, looking back, none treated them with such sincerity, such trust as Qin Jun.
The gods and demons’ eyes widened, another two mysterious powerhouses have arrived?
“Guo Jia…”
Guan Yu looked astounded, and Zhao Yun also widened his eyes.
Qin Jun smiled and said, “Rise, after countless years, you are still able to see Us, which is great.”
He originally thought that the heart of a strategist was most prone to change, but Guo Jia and Guan Zhong proved him wrong through their actions.
Only, Qin Jun was very pleased to be proved wrong.
“With His Majesty’s return, the Heavenly Emperor’s Stone Palace will surely reunite!”
Guan Zhong stood up and laughed.
After all, here, nobody understands what the Heavenly Emperor’s Stone Palace symbolizes.
“Hmm, let’s change locations for our discussion!”
Qin Jun nodded and then led everyone away from the World Stabilizing Divine Tower.
The creatures did not dare to stop them, they all made way, watching the magnificent great procession of the Great Qin Heavenly Court with eyes full of reverence.
Soon after, Qin Jun and the others left the World Stabilizing Divine Tower.
“What about Yuanchu, Liwu, Yanxuan, Ji Haoye, Mo Jingcang, and the others?”
Sitting upon the Supreme Nine Dragons Throne, Qin Jun asked.
He was aware that Xiling was in seclusion, but even Huo Qubing did not know the whereabouts of his other disciples.
Guo Jia fanned himself and laughed, “Now, Your Majesty’s disciples have all achieved great things, even we find it hard to meet them, let alone pass them a message.”
“Oh?
Is that so?”
Qin Jun narrowed his eyes, finding Guo Jia’s words quite intriguing.
Guan Zhong glared at Guo Jia and said, “Your Majesty, rest assured, the Yuanchu Emperor and the others have never forgotten Your Majesty.
They have come to the previous Unparalleled Battles, but not to the last two as they are busy cultivating.
After all, they too have their own enemies and great tasks.”
Daji, Li, Black Butterfly Fairy, Lin Yuqi, Sun Wukong, Ying Zheng, and the rest all looked at each other, their curiosity about Qin Jun’s mysterious disciples growing.
According to what Guo Jia, Guan Zhong, Huo Qubing, and Baili Shouyue said, Qin Jun’s disciples were dominant existences in the ancient sacred emperor’s path.
“Yes, Your Majesty, I know the Yuanchu Emperor has enmity with the Prison Path Divine Emperor; their forces are like fire and water, incompatible.
The other disciples of Your Majesty are the same.
It is not easy for them to extricate themselves to come to the inner universe, especially when they have not received the news,” Baili Shouyue spoke up, fearing Qin Jun’s wrath.
“Is the Prison Path Divine Emperor very powerful?”
Qin Jun glanced at him, asking indifferently.
“The strength of the Prison Path Divine Emperor is extremely strong, Yuanchu Emperor cannot do anything to him, ranking him in the top ten across the entire ancient sacred emperor’s path,” Guan Zhong replied.
