Chapter 497: The Peak of Gods and Demons

The Black Butterfly Fairy and God Wuji stared at each other for a long time. Finally, God Wuji sighed and said, "Maybe Lord Qin and the others have already escaped. There's no use in pursuing them. Who knows where they've been sent by the chaotic time and space? It's better to owe the Black Butterfly Fairy a favor."

After two thousand years of favor, if he repaid it, he would feel at ease.

He sighed, "Forget it, it's up to you. You're just too willful. If it were someone else as the palace lord, you would have been in trouble long ago."

"If it were someone else, I might not have helped create the temple," the Black Butterfly Fairy said softly, her beautiful eyes flashing with disdain.

God Wuji really thought of himself as a god. Before establishing the temple, he was just a stray dog.

After two thousand years, he had forgotten the shame he had once suffered. His lofty attitude made the Black Butterfly Fairy sick.

God Wuji shook his head and smiled, thinking that the Black Butterfly Fairy had a special affection for him. Although the Black Butterfly Fairy had always kept her distance from him, he didn't force it. Standing at his level, it was definitely easy to get a woman. So, for the Black Butterfly Fairy, he treated her more like a treasure.

"What about the Star Officials?" God Wuji changed the subject. The seventeen Star Officials had a high status in the temple. If they were all dead, he would definitely be distressed.

"They're dead," the Black Butterfly Fairy answered bluntly. Since the boundary spirit was destroyed and the Star Officials were all dead, no one knew it was her doing.

God Wuji's face suddenly changed dramatically.

At the same time, every corner of the celestial realm began to tremble violently.

The Black Jiao Mountain Range directly shattered, rocks flying into the air, and terrifying resentment spreading out. A chilling voice resounded, "I refuse to accept it! I hate it!"

In a deep and bottomless canyon, countless demonic energy suddenly emerged, like tentacles, extremely eerie.

The vast grassland suddenly cracked open, like a spider's web, with grass flying everywhere. A wildly arrogant voice echoed through the heavens and the earth, "I'm out again! I'm out!"

Such scenes were happening in many places in the celestial realm. Many prisoners who had been imprisoned for countless years were no longer constrained by the boundary spirit and were running out one after another.

Feeling the powerful aura coming from all directions, God Wuji's face became even more gloomy.

The celestial realm, also known as the prison of the stars, was an ancient small world prison, and it even contained terrifying beings older than him.

He would be busy for a while.

The Black Butterfly Fairy turned to look at the brilliant stars in the sky, feeling very worried. She could only pray for Lord Qin's safety.

...

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side mission—Destroying the Boundary Spirit of the Celestial Realm! The host's level has increased by one, and you have received a random draw and unlocked a new function! At the same time, the host and the temple are now in a hostile relationship!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through the third level of the Earthly Immortal Realm!"

In a daze, Qin Jun heard two system prompts, followed by a surge of magical power in his body, making his consciousness clearer and clearer.

He finally managed to open his eyes after who knows how long. What he saw was a red sky like a burning cloud, with the sun about to set behind the mountains, casting a red glow over the mountain contours, creating a vast and beautiful scene.

The uneven terrain of the mountains, the gentle breeze blowing through the grass, and at this moment, he was lying under a big tree, looking around, there was no one in sight.

He tried to move and found that his whole body was in excruciating pain, making him gasp for breath.

After struggling for a while, he managed to sit up against the tree trunk.

"System, where are Yang Jian and Golden Cicada?" Qin Jun asked in his mind, while accessing the Mythical Store to look for healing elixirs.

In the wilderness, any second-tier or higher demon beast that came now could easily take his life. As for a first-tier demon beast, it couldn't even bite through his flesh.

"I'm not sure. They may have been sent to another place by the chaotic time and space," the system replied, making Qin Jun smile bitterly. He almost messed things up.

Damn it!

This grudge must be avenged!

Qin Jun thought bitterly. At this moment, another system prompt sounded:

"Ding! Triggered side mission—Eradicate the Temple! Mission details: Because the host destroyed the boundary spirit, the Celestial Realm is in chaos. At the same time, the temple's Lord, God Wuji, believes that the host killed seventeen Star Officials and has already held a grudge against the host. If God Wuji dies, the host will complete the mission. The mission rewards include a level increase, a chance to summon a divine or demonic being, a random draw, a chance to search for talents, and a chance to reach the pinnacle of divine and demonic power!"

Qin Jun was stunned. What was the chance to reach the pinnacle of divine and demonic power?

Was it a new function?

Right, destroying the boundary spirit would unlock a new function.

"What is the chance to reach the pinnacle of divine and demonic power?" Qin Jun asked curiously.

"It allows the designated divine or demonic being to reach the pinnacle of power in mythology, with no restrictions, even surpassing the host's five major realms," the system replied.

Qin Jun took a deep breath. This function was overpowered!

If Li Yuanba, Yang Jian, and Jiuling Yuansheng all reached the pinnacle, they would be invincible!

The advantage of this function was that it would increase the loyalty of the divine or demonic being. Even if their strength soared, their loyalty would remain. However, if an extremely powerful divine or demonic being was summoned directly, and they had not interacted with each other, upon seeing Qin Jun's cultivation, they might immediately betray him.

"Raise Yang Jian to the pinnacle of power!" Qin Jun quickly said in his mind.

"No, the designated divine or demonic being must be in front of the host," the system poured cold water on him.

Qin Jun smiled helplessly and continued to search for elixirs.

Now that he was alone, he had to quickly recover from his injuries. Otherwise, being killed by a minor monster or a supporting character would be too embarrassing.

In the end, he set his sights on a healing elixir called Tianyuan Dan, worth three million reputation points, enough to completely restore cultivators below the Heavenly Immortal realm within half an hour.

Without hesitation, he directly consumed the Tianyuan Dan. In an instant, a surge of heat, as if breaking through, flowed through his meridians and bones, almost causing him to moan.

Refreshing!

He leaned against the tree trunk and lay quietly.

"Let the divine and demonic summoning begin!"

Qin Jun breathed a sigh of relief and gave orders in his mind. The task of becoming the king of the heavens had given him one chance to summon a divine and demonic being and one chance for a skill inheritance. Besides, he couldn't move his body at the moment.

In this unknown place, it was best for him to summon a bodyguard.

He could feel that the spiritual energy in this area was much more abundant than in the Southern Region, which meant that the strength of the demonic beasts here was definitely generally stronger than in the Southern Region.

"Ding! Begin random divine and demonic summoning!"

The system prompt sounded, and Qin Jun's heart was no longer tense.

Thinking of the terrifying figure of Shen Wujin from before, he inexplicably felt a chill. Just how high had that guy's cultivation reached?

He had directly ignored Yang Jian's attack and even scared Yang Jian into fleeing.

"Howl—"

At that moment, a wolf's howl came from the distance, causing Qin Jun to furrow his brow.

Could luck really be this bad?

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for summoning..."

The system prompt quickly sounded, causing Qin Jun to widen his eyes and his expression to become more animated.
