Chapter 511: The Wrath of the Night Emperor

“Why doesn't Yang Jian retain his original memories?” Qin Jun wondered. When he first called Yang Jian the Erlang God, Yang Jian looked puzzled, clearly lacking his original memories.

“This is a new setting after activating the peak divine and demonic function. Because the original memories are equivalent to experience and insight, they can enhance the combat power of divine and demonic beings, but they may also weaken,” the system explained, making Qin Jun suddenly understand.

As for why it might weaken, he could also understand.

Some divine and demonic beings might lose their fighting spirit and be unable to recover their full combat power after being defeated and feeling disheartened.

“When will my Monkey Brother come?” Zhu Bajie asked nervously. He patted his chest and promised, “I swear, I won't peek again, and I will obey Your Majesty's orders.”

In Journey to the West, Zhu Bajie was terrified at the mention of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

Even in another world, this guy was still afraid of Sun Wukong.

Perhaps this was what they called "one thing suppresses another."

Zhong Kui and the others were puzzled, but Xue was familiar with Sha Wujing, Jincan, and Sun Wukong, but she had never heard of them.

They must be very powerful, otherwise, how could they scare this ugly pig demon so much?

“Alright, let's send you back to the Southern Region first,” Qin Jun said with a smile.

After becoming the Envoy of the Pure Altar, Zhu Bajie was more aware of the situation than Qin Jun had imagined, which also made him more at ease.

Zhong Kui hesitated, but seeing Qin Jun's determined expression, he could only sigh and nod.

No matter how he looked at Zhu Bajie, he felt unreliable.

Although this pig demon also had the cultivation of a Taiyi Immortal, a pig was still a pig. Could its combat power be strong?

The atmosphere was somewhat eerie as the group returned to the underground palace once again.

“Be careful, all of you,” Qin Jun reminded before using his magical power to activate the teleportation gate. In an instant, all the spirit stones on the teleportation gate burst into a bright light. Xue gave Qin Jun a hug and then, suppressing her sadness, turned and walked into the teleportation gate.

And so, Xue, the cat girl, and Zhong Kui were teleported back to the Southern Region.

“I hope the Great Qin Heavenly Court is safe,” Qin Jun prayed silently. Even if the temple wanted to make a move on the Southern Region, it wouldn't be possible so soon. The Heavenly Observation Conference had just ended, and the Heavenly Observation Realm had been destroyed.

Even if they had already taken action, with so many strong individuals resisting, they could delay for some time.

What Qin Jun needed to do now was to become as strong as possible, bring back Yang Jian and Jincan, and summon more and stronger divine and demonic beings. Only by eradicating the temple could the Great Qin Heavenly Court have no worries.

“Where are we going next?” Liu Ruolai asked excitedly, looking at Zhu Bajie with some trepidation.

This pig demon was really too ugly!

If Zhu Bajie knew what she was thinking, he would definitely spit blood.

I may be ugly on the outside, but my heart is beautiful. At least I have entered the Buddhist path!

“First, I'll send you back to the human city,” Qin Jun said casually. After two days of being together, he had figured out that although Liu Ruolai was bold, she wasn't bad at heart, and there was no need to put her in danger by having her follow him.

Next, he planned to find Yang Jian and Jincan, and then confront the Night Emperor head-on!

Since the mission had been triggered, it meant that even if he didn't find the Night Emperor, the Night Emperor would find him.

By then, facing both the Night Emperor and the temple at the same time would be a desperate situation.

It's best to take them down one by one!

“Ah? No, I don't want to! I want to follow you!” Liu Ruolai shook her head, pouting, her face full of stubbornness. She huffed, “It's only interesting to follow you!”

Qin Jun rolled his eyes and couldn't be bothered. He would just throw her into a city at random when the time came.

“Alright, let's go!” Qin Jun turned and smiled. Zhu Bajie nodded, and he offered his nine-toothed rake, saying, “Your Majesty, I am very strong. I can perform the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Constellations and will definitely protect you!”

“I can also perform the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Constellations,” Qin Jun said with a smirk.

Zhu Bajie immediately didn't believe it. “How is that possible... It's just... What I mean is, the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Constellations are profound, and Your Majesty is so young...”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Jun transformed into a small sparrow and quickly flew along the tunnel.

This scene left Zhu Bajie and Liu Ruolai dumbfounded.

“How is that possible... This is indeed the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Constellations...” Zhu Bajie trembled and then also transformed into a crow to chase after him, but the crow he transformed into looked extremely plump.

After seeing the two disappear, Liu Ruolai finally came to her senses.

“Wait for me!” Liu Ruolai called out as she chased after them.

...

Rumble...

The rolling thunderclouds gathered, and the sky seemed to be shrouded in darkness, with a terrifying pressure permeating the earth. The howling wind swept up trees, lifting them from the ground, and dust and leaves filled the air.

Beneath the thunderclouds, a throne made of amethyst swiftly flew by, with the Night Emperor sitting upon it, his face filled with grim determination.

Countless monsters followed behind, including the Tiger Emperor, who dared not sit on a flying throne in front of the Night Emperor, as he had learned this from the Night Emperor.

"The air still carries the aura of human cultivators," muttered the Night Emperor. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and his handsome face took on a sinister expression.

If the Ten Thousand Monster Lamp were to be taken by someone, he would go mad. He should have taken the lamp earlier.

But without the lamp, how could he attract the Cat Clan?

His plan was simple: manipulate a pure-blooded Cat Clan member to control the Ten Thousand Monster Lamp.

Only two hours had passed since Qin Jun and the others had left. The Night Emperor's trip was destined to be in vain.

After a stick of incense burned, the ground suddenly exploded, and the ancient Cat Clan ruins were destroyed in an instant.

The Night Emperor, shrouded in terrifying demonic energy, slowly rose from the dust. His face was dark, clearly filled with extreme anger, frightening the Monster Kings and Emperors into silence.

Especially the Tiger Emperor, who had orchestrated this matter and could not escape blame.

The Night Emperor suddenly turned to look at him, causing him to break out in a cold sweat and quickly lower his head.

"You!" the Night Emperor said coldly, "Damn it!"

As he spoke, the Night Emperor raised his right hand, and the purple demonic energy instantly condensed into a terrifying giant hand, grabbing the Tiger Emperor in a lightning-fast motion, shocking the Tiger Emperor into begging for mercy.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong, please spare me. The other side has an existence at the Taiyi Immortal Realm, I am no match at all!"

The Tiger Emperor pleaded, not daring to struggle.

The other Monster Kings and Emperors' eyes flickered, none of them pleading for the Tiger Emperor.

The reason why the Monster Clan was inferior to the Human Clan was because of their lack of unity. The various Monster Kings under the Night Emperor were secretly vying for territory, and they were eager for the Tiger Emperor to die a miserable death.

Listening to the Tiger Emperor's pleas, the Night Emperor became even more annoyed. His eyes narrowed, and the purple giant hand directly crushed the Tiger Emperor, blood and flesh flying, causing the other Monster Kings to be horrified.

The Tiger Emperor was a ninth-level existence in the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, yet he was so easily defeated by the Night Emperor.

Just how terrifying was the Night Emperor?

"Hmph! You all won't be able to escape!" The Night Emperor's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly beckoned. A beam of light flew out from the ruins below and landed in his hand, revealing a blue bead the size of an adult's fist.

Inside, scenes began to play, showing Qin Jun and the others entering the ancient palace.

End of the chapter! Did you think I would fail? Haha, I've combined two updates into one, scaring you all.
