The last group of participants finally arrived at the canyon.
They looked at Qin Jun and his doppelganger, both surrounded by dragon energy and ancient dragon souls, making them the most eye-catching presence in the canyon.
"Dragon energy and dragon souls, tsk tsk, how does His Majesty manage to multitask?" Jin Chanzi marveled, his face filled with admiration. He was unaware of the existence of the Formation Dao secret words, so he was amazed by Qin Jun's talent.
Such a genius is truly enviable.
What surprised him the most was his own willingness to assist Qin Jun, which he couldn't understand.
Perhaps this is fate!
At that moment, Dongfang Ji trembled as he emerged from the dust, his clothes tattered, and a mysterious black energy swirling around him. His skin began to be covered with mysterious black scales.
"Oh, you can still transform. Could it be that you are a superhuman who becomes stronger after being severely injured?" Qin Jun teased, deliberately using a homophone, knowing that no one would understand.
What is a superhuman?
The participants were full of questions, never understanding the brilliance of the culture of a certain mortal planet in a certain time and space.
Dongfang Ji coldly said, "I'm going to kill you!"
As he spoke, Dongfang Ji suddenly charged forward, even faster than before, startling Qin Jun, who quickly activated his Future Insight, narrowly dodging Dongfang Ji's right claw. Time seemed to stand still, with the two of them less than ten centimeters apart. If Qin Jun had been a little slower, he might have been disemboweled.
Qin Jun quickly used the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang, turning into a tiny ant, and his doppelganger disappeared.
His breath became weak, causing Dongfang Ji to stop in his tracks.
To the onlookers, it seemed as if Qin Jun had suddenly disappeared.
"That is..."
Yang Jian widened his eyes. The Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang and the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiend both belonged to the same origin, so he immediately recognized Qin Jun's supernatural power.
He had not expected His Majesty to conceal it so deeply!
Yang Jian was amazed. Future Insight was a supernatural power similar to divination, which he had not sensed, but as soon as Qin Jun used the transformation technique, he recognized it instantly.
Jin Chanzi looked at Yang Jian in astonishment, wondering what kind of supernatural power Qin Jun had used to shock Yang Jian so much.
Upon careful consideration, he suddenly realized that Qin Jun possessed quite a few supernatural powers.
"Who on earth has taught such a monstrous talent?"
Jin Chanzi sighed. He did not believe that Qin Jun had achieved such mastery on his own. There must be a terrifying existence behind him, perhaps even surpassing his own master, the Buddha.
Seizing the moment when Dongfang Ji turned around, Qin Jun suddenly reverted to his original form and thrust his spear, piercing through Dongfang Ji's back. This scene left everyone wide-eyed.
Why did Qin Jun suddenly reappear?
Blood splattered, and Dongfang Ji's eyes widened, his fierce face covered in cold sweat.
"In the next life, don't provoke me!"
Qin Jun coldly declared behind Dongfang Ji, then swiftly spat out the Samadhi True Fire, engulfing Dongfang Ji.
In an instant, Dongfang Ji let out a harrowing scream, "Ah ah ah ah ah—"
Those who heard it were all horrified, especially the Little Demon Lord in the distance, trembling in fear.
Jin Wu Hui, who had only recently arrived at the canyon, furrowed his brow, gripping the hilt of his sword.
He had thought that he had made rapid progress, but he had not expected Qin Jun's strength to soar even faster than his.
"Is there really no way to surpass him..." Jin Wu Hui thought bitterly. In the Celestial Observation Realm, he had walked between life and death many times, and although he had gained many opportunities, seeing Qin Jun's performance, he still saw no hope.
This sense of powerlessness hurt his self-esteem.
Under the terrified gazes of everyone, Dongfang Ji was burned alive, and this time, Qin Jun maintained control of the Samadhi True Fire, not giving Dongfang Ji a chance to escape.
After the flames dissipated, a crystal appeared in front of Qin Jun.
Qin Jun's expression suddenly became strange, because this thing looked so much like his Heavenly Water Jade.
The Heavenly Water Jade could withstand all worldly fires and was obtained by him from the Elder of the Abyss Gate. Could it be that there was more than one Heavenly Water Jade in the world?
With that thought, he stored the crystal in his Mythical Space.
With Dongfang Ji dead, no one dared to provoke Qin Jun anymore, not even to look at him.
Those who had not challenged Qin Jun hurriedly hid among the crowd, afraid of being seen by him.
"Dongfang Ji was actually killed by him!"
"Wow, is Emperor Qin defying the heavens?"
"I didn't expect such a figure to emerge from the small Southern Domain."
"Tsk tsk, Dongfang Ji is the heart and soul of the Eastern Flame Domain. Being killed by Emperor Qin, the two domains are now at odds."
"The Eastern Flame Domain is so far from the Southern Domain, it probably won't lead to war, but that old monster from the Eastern Flame Domain will probably come to the Southern Domain to seek revenge."
The participants were discussing fervently, all mentioning the Eastern Flame Domain.
Qin Jun paid no attention, for a genius like Dongfang Ji must have a monstrous figure behind him, but he was not afraid.
No matter how great, it is no match for the Temple!
Boom—
At that moment, the canyon suddenly began to tremble, and a golden light curtain rose from the edge of the canyon, quickly enveloping the entire canyon, sealing all exits and preventing anyone from escaping.
"The final battle begins, only five hundred survivors will remain!"
The cold voice sounded again, devoid of any emotion.
Although they had anticipated it, the participants couldn't help but feel nervous.
At this critical moment of life and death!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest—Destroying the Eighteen Constellations! You have obtained one summoning opportunity for a divine and demonic being, and one random draw!"
The system prompt suddenly sounded, astonishing Qin Jun.
How did he suddenly complete the mission?
This task requires killing seventeen celestial officials, and if the one remaining official who does not covet the wheel of fate survives, the eighteen celestial officials will also be in name only.
At the same time, above the celestial realm, within the mysterious starry sky shrouded in thick fog, the Celestial Observation Palace has been shattered.
The Black Butterfly Fairy sits on a giant rock, floating in the starry sky along with the rock, her eyes indifferent, as if she were a goddess.
Following her gaze, one can see the bodies of the distant major celestial officials floating among the shattered stones. Their clothes are torn, covered in blood, and their eyes wide open, clearly not at peace in death.
As for the two celestial officials at the Taiyi Xuanxian realm, only a skull remains, also floating with eyes wide open in death.
The two terrifying powerhouses of the Taiyi Xuanxian realm have actually died in such a miserable state.
"You overestimated yourselves. Back then, I was the one who brought you into the divine temple."
The Black Butterfly Fairy murmured to herself. Twenty thousand years ago, when the divine temple was first built, she was the elder of the celestial officials, teaching them cultivation. Twenty thousand years later, the celestial officials thought they had all surpassed her, which is truly laughable.
She looked down below, where the thick fog obscured the stars.
"For you, I'm willing to offend the divine temple," the Black Butterfly Fairy said lightly, her tone carrying a hint of amusement, as if she were talking about something interesting.
She had played a part in the establishment of the divine temple, but for Qin Jun, betraying the divine temple seemed inconsequential to her.
She seemed to recall something, and her gaze became nostalgic, her eyes filled with tenderness.
