"I am the Second Prince of the Holy Emperor, the Manifestation of the Holy True Lord! Erlang Shen!"
Yang Jian laughed heartily, his voice booming like thunder, reaching far and wide, causing the adventurers in the distance to exchange glances, even catching the attention of the Night Emperor in the far distance.
Under the Holy Emperor, Erlang Shen?
Who is the Holy Emperor?
And who is Erlang Shen?
The Night Emperor furrowed his brow. He had not heard of the title of the Holy Emperor, and even if he had, he wouldn't have connected the two.
One is a genius, the other a top-tier powerhouse, completely different levels!
"Holy Emperor? Are you referring to yourself?" Liu Ruolai curiously asked Qin Jun. The first person she thought of was the Holy Emperor Qin, who had gained great fame by defeating the Eastern Extreme.
The former Eastern Extreme was invincible among the younger generation in the Eastern Flame Domain, even capable of fighting beyond his level. This was something she had never dared to imagine before.
There are truly people beyond people!
"What's it to you?" Qin Jun asked impatiently. If I were to reveal my identity, it would surely scare you to death!
Liu Ruolai, upon hearing this, angrily scratched at Qin Jun. With Yang Jian present, she was not afraid of danger.
Qin Jun forcibly pulled her into his embrace and whispered in her ear, "Don't make a scene!"
The warm breath blew on Liu Ruolai's ear, causing her ear to turn red instantly. A hint of shyness appeared on her face. If her father were to see this, he would surely be dumbfounded.
Qin Jun did not notice her reaction and continued to hold onto Liu Ruolai as they looked down.
The King of the Tree Demons was still struggling, countless vines crazily entwining around Yang Jian. Yang Jian occasionally used his Evil-Breaking Heavenly Eyes to shoot down these vines, causing the King of the Tree Demons to scream in pain.
The Golden Cicada had been chanting all along, and Qin Jun noticed that many souls hanging on the King of the Tree Demons began to emit light and shadow, resembling human forms, likely their souls.
"Namo Amitabha, the grievances of all beings, the cycle of reincarnation..."
At this moment, the Golden Cicada exuded a great compassion and mercy, and all those souls flew towards him. This scene left Liu Ruolai and Qin Jun wide-eyed.
Qin Jun seemed to see the appearance of Tang Seng. Seriously, the earnest Golden Cicada was really handsome, especially with that compassionate and merciful aura, inspiring respect in people's hearts.
Zhu Bajie scratched his head as he suddenly realized that he was completely ineffective.
It's so discouraging.
He had just started to worship Qin Jun a few days ago and hadn't even had a chance to show off properly.
Yang Jian's slashes continued, but the King of the Tree Demons had an extremely strong vitality, and its body was incredibly tough with a powerful recovery ability. Even when Yang Jian split its upper body in half, it quickly returned to its original state.
At this moment, Yang Jian finally understood the terror of the King of the Tree Demons.
The Night Emperor could defeat the King of the Tree Demons, but it was difficult to kill it, and this was the reason.
"I don't believe it!"
Yang Jian suddenly turned into a golden light and broke free from the King of the Tree Demons' restraints.
The next moment, Yang Jian, back in his original form, floated in the sky, holding the War God's Trident high in his hands.
The Mountain-Crushing Divine Skill!
In an instant, the dazzling light burst forth from Yang Jian's trident, making him as unbearable to look at as the sun.
This startled Qin Jun, who quickly distanced himself.
He had seen this divine skill from Yang Jian more than once before, when he was still in the Taiyi Immortal Realm, and now, as a powerhouse comparable to the Great Luo, the terror of this move was even greater.
"Evil creature! Perish!"
Yang Jian's voice seemed to pierce through the clouds as he turned into an unstoppable streak of light, attacking the King of the Tree Demons.
Qin Jun watched, his muscles tensed, holding Liu Ruolai tightly against his body. Liu Ruolai's face turned red instantly. In this position, her chest was completely pressed against Qin Jun's body, and she couldn't even use her hands to push away because Qin Jun's strength was too great.
However, at this moment, Qin Jun was completely immersed in Yang Jian's heroic demeanor and did not notice this scene.
Even if he did notice, he would pretend not to have seen it.
"You... you rascal..." Liu Ruolai muttered under her breath, her voice filled with endless shyness. Under the dazzling light, her delicate face was almost perfect, even the hint of childishness was concealed.
Boom!
Like a spark hitting the earth, Yang Jian's trident struck the head of the King of the Tree Demons. At this moment, although he did not have a colossal figure, the aura he exuded was even stronger, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
"Ah! How is this possible! It's impossible..."
The Desperate Roaring of the Demon King Luo Shu echoed, his voice was extremely mournful, and at the same time, the countless corpses hanging on his body also joined in the wailing and cursing. They did not hate Yang Jian, but rather the Demon King Luo Shu. Even if they were to hide in the Nine Hells, they would not forget this hatred.
The earth shook violently, with the Demon King Luo Shu at its center, the surface of the earth turned over in all directions, trees and soil flying, and the upheaved dust formed a circular airflow, like dragons swirling in the sky, a scene that was heart-stirringly shocking.
The terrifying roar caused Qin Jun and Liu Ruolai to experience a brief moment of deafness. In their eyes, the surface of the earth turned into ruins at a visible speed.
Qin Jun swallowed, was this the power close to the Great Luo Realm? Even though they were separated by several miles, he had a feeling that he could be annihilated at any moment.
The Demon King Luo Shu continued to wail, but Qin Jun and the others could no longer see its figure, as it was submerged in the strong light and dust.
"My goodness, it's too powerful..." Zhu Bajie exclaimed. Before becoming the Purification Envoy, Yang Jian was already someone he looked up to. Even after becoming the Purification Envoy and receiving the enlightenment of the Buddhist teachings, the gap between him and Yang Jian remained so vast.
Truly worthy of being the number one general under the Jade Emperor!
After a while, everything returned to calm, but the dust in the air refused to dissipate. Slowly, souls flew out from the dust, surprisingly, they were the people who had been tormented by the Demon King Luo Shu.
At this moment, their expressions were no longer bitter and desperate, but filled with smiles. Many souls were even in groups, with parents holding their children. Sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on them, making them appear like angels.
Liu Ruolai looked up at this scene, her face filled with amazement and longing.
It turns out that after death, one does not necessarily become a terrifying ghost, but can also be so beautiful and heartwarming.
"Ding! Side quest completed - Exterminate the Demon for Heaven! Obtained the grace of the Heavenly Dao and one chance to summon a divine being!"
The system prompt suddenly sounded, bringing Qin Jun back from his daze.
What is the grace of the Heavenly Dao?
Just as he was curious, a sacred light descended from the sky and landed on Qin Jun. The speed was so fast that even Jin Chanzi and Zhu Bajie could not react in time, and Liu Ruolai was pushed away.
Warm!
Comfortable!
This was Qin Jun's current feeling. He looked around at the light surrounding him, a mysterious and obscure power pouring into his body, giving him a feeling of refining his qi and body.
In an instant, he suddenly felt the surge of his internal energy, even the Purple Star Emperor's Dao Fruit began to spin rapidly, giving him a feeling of floating and wanting to ascend to immortality.
End of Chapter 3!
