Chapter 476 Five Star Officials
Rumble—
The earth shook violently, and Qin Jun and others were suspended in the air, gazing ahead at the dust that seemed to sweep across the heavens and the earth, their faces filled with astonishment.
What a majestic power!
Just the dust raised was hundreds of zhang high, as if it wanted to engulf the entire starry sky.
This kind of power was beyond their imagination. Even though they were nearly ten miles away, they could still feel the pressure.
Qin Jun looked up at the myriad stars. If he hadn't seen it wrong just now, the Eight Star Official should have descended from the sky. Coupled with his frequent observation of Yang Jian looking up, he initially thought Yang Jian was showing off, but now it seemed that there was a hidden meaning in the starry sky above their heads.
Could it be that the high-ranking members of the temple were above the Observing Heaven Realm?
Thinking like this, Qin Jun felt it was very likely. Looking at the Eight Star Official, it was obvious that he was not a participant. He didn't believe that other participants could seek outside help like him.
"It seems inevitable to become enemies with the temple."
A meaningful smile appeared on Qin Jun's face. He never had a good impression of the temple. The Purple Han Marquis made him feel disgusted, and if the Old Master Yi knew that he had reconciled with the temple, he would probably become his enemy. So, from the bottom of his heart, he rejected the temple.
As for the fact that the temple was far stronger than the Southern Domain, the consequences of resistance had been anticipated by Qin Jun, but he was not afraid.
From the beginning until now, when was his situation not like this?
Boom!
Another earth-shattering explosion came from the front. A figure swiftly flew out from the rolling dust, and wisps of smoke surrounded him. It was none other than the Eight Star Official.
At this moment, the Eight Star Official was extremely disheveled, his purple-golden robe already tattered. He emitted a faint blue light all over his body, and his speed was extremely fast as he quickly ascended into the sky, as if he was about to leave the Observing Heaven Realm at any moment.
Yang Jian followed closely behind him, and he coldly sneered, "Trying to escape?"
At this moment, Yang Jian completely revealed the ferocity of Erlang Shen, an unparalleled domineering aura emanating from him. His speed was even faster than the Eight Star Official's as he thrust his sword forward.
The Eight Star Official was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. He hadn't expected Yang Jian to catch up with him.
"Do you really want to oppose our temple?"
At a critical moment, the Eight Star Official brought up the temple as a threat, wanting to intimidate Yang Jian.
Unfortunately, Yang Jian completely ignored him. His figure flickered, and then turned into a golden light rushing towards the Eight Star Official. The Eight Star Official's pupils contracted, his muscles tensed, and just as he was about to speak, with a "pu" sound, the golden light pierced through his body like an arrow, blood splattering everywhere. The Eight Star Official's expression instantly froze, blood vessels appearing in his eyes.
"How could this be..."
The Eight Star Official trembled as he spoke, but before he could finish his sentence, his body exploded, and even his primordial spirit was shattered, unable to escape.
The golden light stopped behind the Eight Star Official, transforming into Yang Jian holding the War God's Trident. His face was proud, and the curve of his mouth seemed to disdain the weakness of the Eight Star Official.
In the distance, the explosion of the Eight Star Official fell into the eyes of Qin Jun and the others, like a star exploding, extremely spectacular. They couldn't see clearly what had happened, so they were extremely nervous.
"So strong," Jin Chanzi muttered with a serious expression.
The combat power displayed by Yang Jian was not much different from that of the Taiyi Immortal in the Buddhist sect, making him sigh. This guy was definitely a natural battle maniac.
Qin Jun knew immediately that Jin Chanzi was talking about Yang Jian. He didn't expect Jin Chanzi to envy Yang Jian. Thinking of him being reincarnated as the Tang Monk with a compassionate heart, Qin Jun still found Jin Chanzi more pleasing to the eye.
Compared to Qin Jun's ease, the atmosphere inside the Observing Heaven Palace was extremely tense, and everyone's faces were grim.
Black Butterfly Fairy squinted her eyes, her thoughts unknown, but compared to her, the others' expressions were truly ferocious.
"Is the Eight Star Official dead?" a star official asked cautiously, still in shock, unable to imagine the scene they had just witnessed.
No one answered him. In that instant, Yang Jian suddenly erupted with all his strength, his speed so fast that they couldn't react in time, let alone mount a rescue.
The Grand Star Official tiptoed, clearly showing signs of getting up, but in the end, he sat back down, his eyes flashing with a terrifying gloom.
He scanned the group, and suddenly a conspiracy arose in his mind.
"The Eight Star Official is dead. If this matter is reported, it will definitely enrage the Lord of the Temple, and even make him think that we, the star officials, are incompetent!" The Grand Star Official spoke in a deep voice, causing Yao Xu, who had been inciting others, to look at him in surprise.
This guy had been silent before, so why was he now speaking up and guiding everyone?
No, there's definitely a conspiracy!
Yao Xu instantly became alert, only to hear the Grand Star Official continue, "We must kill this person and then report to the Lord. Who is willing to take action?"
Hiss—
The star officials all took a cold breath. The Grand Star Official was actually taking the initiative to break the rules of the Observing Heaven Assembly. They were not stupid, and no one was willing to be the first to stick their neck out.
For a moment, the atmosphere became eerie.
"Eighteen, Seventeen, Sixteen, Fifteen, Fourteen, you five go together!" The Grand Star Official named them.
The five star officials called upon had their faces drastically changed. They ranked fifth from the bottom in terms of strength, and the Grand Star Official's intention was worth pondering.
But if Yang Jian had left any tricks behind?
...
Yang Jian returned to Qin Jun's side, confidently smiling, "Such weaklings, even if he were to fully recover his strength, he wouldn't be enough for me to kill!"
Dominance!
Utter disdain!
Qin Jun couldn't help but envy him. If he had such strength, he would definitely be more arrogant than Yang Jian.
The rest of the people looked at Yang Jian with admiration on their faces. Qin Jun turned back and smiled at them, saying, "See, this is the strength of the Great Qin Heavenly Court's war god!"
War god?
Everyone shuddered, even Yang Jian narrowed his eyes.
Although it was just a jest, the king never jests. Is Qin Jun hinting at Yang Jian's future identity?
Jin Chanzi yawned and muttered under his breath, "Just fame and fortune."
"Ha, you're just jealous!" Yang Jian responded irritably, not giving Jin Chanzi any face. But Jin Chanzi was used to it and couldn't be bothered to argue.
Qin Jun shook his head and said, "Let's continue forward!"
In this battle, he gained the most, and most crucially, he discovered that he could see the wheel of fate within himself.
Before, he had no idea where the wheel of fate was hidden in his body, but now he could.
It seemed that the dragon bone that manifested as a five-headed dragon was extraordinary.
Jumping onto the cloud mist condensed by Yang Jian, Qin Jun quickly began to examine the wheel of fate within his body.
The wheel of fate hovered above the golden core. Upon closer inspection, he could see the dragon bone of the wheel of fate. Qin Jun probed his divine consciousness into it.
Boom!
A terrifying soul shock instantly dispersed Qin Jun's divine consciousness, leaving him in a daze for a while before he came to his senses.
"What's going on..."
Qin Jun frowned, then unwillingly continued to probe with his divine consciousness.
