The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 197: Unbridled
Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Unbridled
After hearing the system’s explanation, Qin Jun decided to hold off on summoning for now. He was planning to visit the Bathing Thunder Pool later and couldn’t guarantee he would leave within a day. If he summoned the God and Demon army, would they storm in?
If the situation were like before, it wouldn’t be much of an issue, but the enemies nearby were too strong now, and Qin Jun did not want to see the God and Demon army he summoned for the first time be slaughtered before they had a chance to wreak havoc.
That would be both a pity and a pain.
Just then, the intense battle in the sky finally ceased, and swiftly descending from above was none other than Sha Wujing.
"How did it go? Is he dead?" Qin Jun asked with a smile. Sha Wujing appeared unharmed, his breath not even the slightest bit disordered. After the malevolence had dissipated, he seemed as though he hadn’t been through a fierce fight at all.
Sha Wujing said with some embarrassment, "He escaped..."
Escaped?
Qin Jun’s face immediately darkened, but Sha Wujing quickly explained, "The guy somehow got hold of a spatial scroll. Just when I was about to finish him, he managed to escape."
At that, Sha Wujing’s face showed a hint of frustration.
Though the Beigong Ancestor didn’t seem like an average third-layer Immortal Realm being, in Sha Wujing’s eyes, he was just mediocre, and dealing with him was only a matter of time.
A spatial scroll?
Qin Jun was taken aback, then shook his head and laughed, "Well, if he has escaped, let him be. No worries!"
Then he suddenly realized something. With the Luo Emperor dead and Beigong Ancestor fled, there were no Immortal Realm enemies in the Imperial Capital. Did that mean he could do as he pleased now?
With that thought, he immediately became excited.
I want to be a tyrant!
Just as he was about to say something, a dark figure suddenly rushed out of a corner of the Imperial Palace Peak’s void – it was Roaring Sky Dog.
"Your Highness, the Bathing Thunder Pool, I have found it!"
Roaring Sky Dog wasn’t near yet, but his voice had already reached Qin Jun, who was intrigued to see what the Bathing Thunder Pool, so highly regarded by Evening Star, looked like.
Without further ado, he called to Li Yuanba, who had turned into a Giant Bird, "Yuanba, come back!"
With Beigong Ancestor and Luo Emperor out of the battle, Qin Jun had nothing to fear. There was no need to have Li Yuanba entangled with the Beigong imperial guards. If they were to go to an ordinary Bathing Thunder Pool and leave Li Yuanba behind, Qin Jun wouldn’t feel easy.
No choice – the kid’s battle power was off the charts, but his intelligence was lacking!
Li Yuanba, upon hearing the call, immediately flapped his wings, which sent Zhou Liang and the others tumbling away. Then he flew towards Qin Jun, his body rapidly shrinking. The golden feathers detached from his body and scattered in the air, in a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
Soon, he returned to his normal form as Li Yuanba. In the blink of an eye, he quickly dressed himself, so fast that apart from Sha Wujing and Evening Star, no one saw the awkwardness of his nakedness.
Such adeptness at transforming indicated this wasn’t his first time.
Boom——
A mighty thunderbolt with enough force to split a small mountain soared down, headed straight for Qin Jun. Li Yuanba flew towards it and, with a single swing of his hammer, scattered it to pieces.
Those who could dissipate thunderbolts were undoubtedly freaks.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
After landing, Li Yuanba asked with concern. Qin Jun could see that the ferocity and excitement in his eyes had not entirely faded, hinting that he had thoroughly enjoyed battle today.
Qin Jun shook his head with a smile, glanced at the gradually weakening thunderstorm in the sky, and said with a laugh, "Let’s go. Let’s take a look at the Bathing Thunder Pool!"
No one objected. With Luo Emperor dead and Beigong Ancestor fled, they were under no pressure.
Under the guidance of Roaring Sky Dog, the group flew upwards. The high-rankers from the Six Major Sects watched them go with mutual looks of understanding, yet they remained silent.
They had originally planned to attack once Beigong Ancestor was severely injured, but they hadn’t expected Sha Wujing to easily send the ancestor fleeing. Naturally, they weren’t foolish enough to rush to their deaths.
"What do we do now? They’re targeting the Bathing Thunder Pool."
"What can we do? Even the Luo Emperor and Beigong Ancestor are no match for that person; all of us would die if we confronted them!"
"Alas, we can only wait for them to leave."
"What is this... Are we allowing our Nanzhuo Dynasty to be trampled upon?"
"Why didn’t you take action just now? You only speak cold words now!"
The Six Major Sects began to blame each other, while Zhou Liang and the remaining Imperial Guards hovered in the air, speechless. Qin Jun’s subordinates were so powerful that they were struck with fear.
Now, they all had only one thought, which was hoping Qin Jun and his people would leave soon.
On a large tree at Imperial Palace Peak, the Evil Dragon, like black smoke, watched the retreating figures of Qin Jun and the others, with a look of wariness in his eyes.
"It seems I must ask Master to take action personally."
The Evil Dragon murmured to himself, and then his form dissipated with the wind.
...
The rolling heavenly tribulation slowly dissipated, and led by Roaring Sky Dog, Qin Jun and the others arrived at a mountain path about five hundred meters from the top of Imperial Palace Peak. Winding along the path, they reached a cave entrance, where more than a dozen corpses lay, clearly killed by the Roaring Sky Dog.
Faint rumbling sounds came from inside the cave, like a ferocious beast roaring.
Qin Jun, holding back his curiosity, walked in the middle of the group, with strong figures like Sha Wujing, Black and White Impermanence, Roaring Sky Dog, Li Yuanba, Evening Star, Li Bai, and Daji protecting him from all sides; naturally, he had no fear.
After entering the cave, they were met with the sight of faint blue electric light. The passageway was three meters wide and four meters high. After walking for several tens of meters, they finally arrived at their destination.
Soon, they saw the true appearance of the Bathing Thunder Pool. A lake lay within the cave, twenty meters in diameter, its surface aglitter with blue light amidst the steam, with thunder and lightning occasionally sizzling out—it looked both dazzling and chilling.
Even before getting close, the dangerous aura emitted by the Bathing Thunder Pool made Qin Jun’s hairs stand on end.
Damn, it wouldn’t be a leap into it, would it?
Qin Jun thought with a racing heart, and in the next second, a statement from Evening Star made Qin Jun want to turn and run.
"Your Highness, go down quickly," Evening Star said with a chuckle and a stroke of his beard.
"Could it kill a person?" Qin Jun swallowed hard; the thunder and lightning of the Bathing Thunder Pool seemed more terrifying to him than the heavenly tribulation.
People like Li Bai were also eagerly sizing up the Bathing Thunder Pool, with only Sha Wujing remaining indifferent.
"To endure the bitterest of the bitter is to be the superior man," Evening Star said with a punchable smile.
The others looked at him jokingly as well, especially Daji’s gaze made Qin Jun’s face redden. He immediately stripped off his clothes and walked toward the Bathing Thunder Pool.
Fuck!
You can’t be a coward in front of women!
With a heart full of indignation, Qin Jun took the plunge and jumped straight into the Bathing Thunder Pool.
Boom!
As soon as he jumped into the Bathing Thunder Pool, Qin Jun felt his whole body explode, as countless bolts of lightning surged into every pore. His body gradually turned blue and translucent, and he could even clearly see his blood vessels.
"Damn it! It hurts..."
This was the only thought in Qin Jun’s mind. The dragon energy in his body burst out uncontrollably, with the sound of dragon roars exploding. A golden dragon as thick as an adult’s thigh coiled out from behind Qin Jun.
This scene stunned Evening Star and the others.
The Four-clawed Golden Dragon of the Luo Emperor had left a deep impression on them. How could Qin Jun have one too?
