Chapter 381: The Puppet Great Emperor Ziyang

Hearing this, the Celestial Race Patriarch let out a bitter laugh, "It is not that these lingering souls have suffered persecution, but rather that Young Master Qin is simply too much of a Prodigy."

"An impossibly great Prodigy!"

"Never mind this world; even if one were to look across the entire Hongmeng Continent, a Prodigy like Young Master Qin is unheard of since ancient times!"

First, he took the people of the Yaochi Sacred Land, who had already fallen and were on the verge of being refined into Living Pills, constructed spiritual bodies from the Living Pills, and reshaped their physical forms.

Then, with his own strength, he suppressed hundreds of millions of lingering souls so that they could not even lift their heads.

He caused those violent, bloodthirsty lingering souls to be so terrified that they fled this world in a panic.

No matter which of these feats it was, each was enough to shock the heavens and make the ghosts weep.

Yet Qin Xuan alone managed to accomplish all these inconceivable feats!

He should be thankful that the Celestial God Clan bet on the right chips.

Befriending Qin Xuan back then and becoming enemies with Great Emperor Ziyang was perhaps the most correct thing his Celestial God Clan had ever done since its founding—there is no 'one of the'.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

In the bright world, crisp applause rang out one after another.

In the direction of the Ziyang Imperial Capital, Great Emperor Ziyang, dressed in a five-clawed golden dragon imperial robe, with a solemn face and an awe-inspiring presence,

finally appeared slowly at the last moment.

He glanced lightly in the direction of the Yaochi Sacred Land and exclaimed in admiration, "Bringing the dead back to life and turning flesh into bones, you have reversed a predetermined defeat."

"Qin Xuan, you have truly surprised Me."

"Back then, stripping you of your Supreme Bone still failed to limit your growth."

"Perhaps if I had fully cultivated you back then, you would already be the one and only great general of My Ziyang Empire by now."

"What a pity, such a pity; there is no medicine for regret in this world."

Great Emperor Ziyang shook his head with a sigh, seemingly regretting the decision he had made back then.

The moment the Great Demon God saw Great Emperor Ziyang, bloodlines instantly wrapped around his eyeballs, and he gritted his teeth in hatred.

He hated the cold-bloodedness of the Qin Princes Mansion and hated its short-sightedness.

But the culprit behind all of this was Great Emperor Ziyang!

It was Great Emperor Ziyang who caused his eldest grandson to nearly die prematurely in his youth.

It was Great Emperor Ziyang who caused his legitimate son to lose his dignity as the Prince of Qin in fear.

It was even more so Great Emperor Ziyang who caused the entire Qin Princes Mansion to fall apart today.

Leaving him and his eldest grandson with nowhere to return to, becoming duckweed drifting everywhere with nowhere to rely on!

If it weren't for his eldest grandson being capable, how could the two of them be standing here safe and sound at this moment!

"Something is wrong!"

Empress Zhou Wu stared at Great Emperor Ziyang, her brows tightly furrowed, "This guy is definitely not the type to face death calmly!"

Having been enemies with Great Emperor Ziyang for so many years, Empress Zhou Wu understood him exceptionally well.

Ruthless and vicious, he would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

A person as mean and ungrateful as Great Emperor Ziyang would never pop up to make an enemy of Qin Xuan without a chance of winning!

Saintess Yao Yao shouted a reminder, "Qin Xuan, be careful! Great Emperor Ziyang might have a trump card!"

Pfft!

Qin Xuan could not help but sneer.

A trump card?

What kind of trump card could Great Emperor Ziyang possibly have?

It is not that he looks down on Great Emperor Ziyang; it is just that that former ruler of the Ziyang Empire...

...is really not worth looking at in front of him now.

Never mind being his enemy.

Even in front of Ming Yuan, Great Emperor Ziyang would only have the standing to bow his head and submit.

With a smile on his lips and a provocative look in his eyes, he stared at Great Emperor Ziyang playfully and asked suspiciously, "I am very curious, are you an old monster from the Earth Sect, or an Old Ancestor of the Blood Asura Clan?"

This was not Qin Xuan guessing wildly; it was simply the truth.

Whether it was the method of refining Living Pills or Ming Yuan's mid-way betrayal.

Neither was something Great Emperor Ziyang could have achieved.

To be able to make Ming Yuan, a Prodigy on the imperial ranking, choose to betray him even while knowing his strength.

How could a mere Great Emperor Ziyang accomplish that?

Since the powerhouses of the Nether Clan could reflect the Dao and influence this world,

why couldn't the Earth Sect and the Blood Asura Clan do it?

One must know that the Earth Sect and the Blood Asura Clan had lost two Heavenly God Realm experts.

With such hatred, Qin Xuan would not be surprised if these two behemoth forces did anything.

"Hahaha!"

"You fellow, it is truly not just your combat power that is heaven-defying; even your mind is breathtaking."

"If it weren't for finding the imprinted Dao Law of this place, who else in this world could compete with a monster like you?"

"It is just a pity that you should not have braved the great taboo in the God Ruins and killed Black Lotus and Leng Chun, those two Heavenly God Realm experts."

"Do you know what the Heavenly God Realm means in the Hongmeng Continent?"

Great Emperor Ziyang wore a cruel, ferocious smile.

After being exposed, he no longer pretended.

The mere body of Great Emperor Ziyang could not possibly carry him for too long.

However, it was also thanks to this Great Emperor Ziyang's Peak Realm cultivation and his comprehension of the power of Dao Law that they were able to find the location of this world among the myriad Daos!

"Who the hell are you putting on an act for?"

Qin Xuan flashed and shot in front of Great Emperor Ziyang.

He threw a punch, and the power of billions of Primordial Dragon Elephants roared out like a world-destroying fist light that could devastate the heavens and the earth.

Boom—

Great Emperor Ziyang raised his hand, easily blocking Qin Xuan's punch, and shook his head, saying, "It is not that you are not strong enough, but that you are limited by your Realm. Even if you can compare to the God Realm, so what? Before you comprehend the Dao Law, you are ultimately a mortal."

Great Emperor Ziyang kicked out, and the mere shockwave of his leg whip sent Qin Xuan flying back ten thousand miles.

"Eh!"

Great Emperor Ziyang showed a look of surprise and suspicion, his expression full of amazement, "You were actually able to block a strike from this Heavenly God?"

Seeing this, Ming Yuan could not suppress the joy in his eyes and exclaimed, "It succeeded!"

"The Heavenly Fire Heavenly God of the Earth Sect has actually projected into this world!"

"He has truly descended into this world with the help of the Heavenly Fire Great Dao!"

"Hahaha, Heaven will not let me, Ming Yuan, die!"

"Suppressed in this world for countless years, and nearly dying at the hands of this Prodigy Qin Xuan, I never expected that Great Emperor Ziyang had actually comprehended the Heavenly Fire Great Dao, attracting the Heavenly Fire Heavenly God to descend!"

Ming Yuan was overjoyed.

He had taken a gamble.

He did not expect that he had actually guessed right!

Just as he was about to die at the hands of Qin Xuan, the Earth Sect's Heavenly Fire Heavenly God finally projected onto the body of Great Emperor Ziyang through the Heavenly Fire Great Dao.

By using the body of Great Emperor Ziyang and attaching himself to the Heavenly Fire Great Dao imprinted here, the Heavenly Fire Heavenly God could unleash power exceeding that of the God Realm.

Qin Xuan could finally no longer do whatever he wanted!

He had been so scared earlier that his guts were about to burst, but now, seeing the Divine Might of the Heavenly Fire Heavenly God, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Peak Master of Yunhuan murmured in surprise, "Is that not Great Emperor Ziyang?"

She had been kept in the dark until now, always thinking that she had defected to Great Emperor Ziyang.

Ming Yuan rolled his eyes heavily and snorted disdainfully, "Great Emperor Ziyang is only at the Peak Realm; even this Young Lord could suppress him. What qualification does he have to be an enemy of the monster Qin Xuan?"

If it really were Great Emperor Ziyang, his Nether Clan would have already trampled the Ziyang Imperial Capital and become the most loyal fierce general under Qin Xuan!

"You really know how to gild your own face!" Qin Xuan patted the flames on his body indifferently and stared playfully at Great Emperor Ziyang, "If you really were a Heavenly God, why would you need to borrow the body of Great Emperor Ziyang?"

"If you were truly able to exert the power of a Heavenly God, why would you need to waste so much effort trying every possible way to consume my strength?"

If it really were a Heavenly God, no matter how much of a Prodigy he was, he would not be able to bridge such a huge gap.

In the end, it was just this Heavenly God projecting here; it was impossible for him to unleash the combat power of his true self!

Although he said this, Qin Xuan did not dare to underestimate him in the slightest in his heart.

He instantly activated the Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation and the Exquisite Heart-Burning Art. Qin Xuan held the heavenly desolation halberd and injected all 1.2 billion units of Primordial Dragon-Elephant Power into the shaft of the heavenly desolation halberd.

The crazy and raging energy caused the Emperor Weapon, the heavenly desolation halberd, to erupt with a humming sound.

Qin Xuan once again stacked the Halberd Suppresses the Eight Desolations.

Like a deity, radiating brilliant light, he teleported to where Great Emperor Ziyang was in the blink of an eye.

He pierced through his chest with one strike of the halberd.

Roar, roar, roar!

The Primordial Dragon-Elephant Power raged recklessly from the shaft of the heavenly desolation halberd, and Great Emperor Ziyang's body instantly shattered into countless sparks of fire.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The Nirvana Fire raged out, swallowing the sparks of fire that Great Emperor Ziyang had shattered into.

Preventing him from reshaping his body again!

"What terrifying pure power."

The sparks of fire that Great Emperor Ziyang had shattered into gradually gathered again, turning into a figure wearing a flame robe, with flame-interwoven clouds rolling on the robe.

Like a Fire God, the Heavenly Fire Heavenly God, whose very hair had tongues of fire licking at it, appeared again, stepping on a long carpet of flames paved by the Dao. He shook his head, his eyes full of arrogance and indifference that despised all living beings, and said, "Without having ignited the Divine Fire, you are ultimately just a mortal ant."
