Chapter 1134 1134 Shocking the World
"This… this aura!"
"How does it feel even more powerful than that Purple Gold Qilin!"
"A Quasi-Emperor, it's a Quasi-Emperor!" The sect master-level figure from Taixuan Sect went pale with shock, unable to hold back a cry of alarm.
The Azure Sky Great Roc that Jun Xiaoyao stood upon was actually a Quasi-Emperor.
This left every major force and cultivator present from the Luotian Immortal Domains utterly horrified, so shaken their scalps went numb.
A Quasi-Emperor, used as a mount.
It was simply beyond imagination.
Even a clan with foundations as deep as the Jun family couldn't possibly be this extravagant.
One had to know that a Quasi-Emperor, even within an immortal power, was an absolute pillar of strength, the very embodiment of deep foundation.
No Quasi-Emperor would ever demean themselves like this.
It seemed as though the Great Roc sensed the stunned and astonished gazes of the crowd.
To salvage some face, the Fufeng King explained coldly, "Hmph, what's so surprising about this? My master even took down the Ultimate Calamity from the foreign realm — an existence far more powerful than a Great Emperor."
As long as the master is strong enough, there's no shame in being the mount.
That was the Fufeng King's logic, and it made perfect sense.
"What, the Ultimate Calamity of the foreign realm?!"
Though most of the cultivators present were completely bewildered,
they at least caught that it was an existence far more powerful than a Great Emperor.
How could Jun Xiaoyao possibly have taken down something stronger than a Great Emperor?
As for certain powerhouses from Haoyang Sacred Ground, Taixuan Sect, and Qingxia Cave Heaven, their expressions changed drastically.
Those at the upper echelons knew at least a little of the inside story.
"What on earth is going on? The Jun family's Divine Son took down the Ultimate Calamity?"
The powerhouses of the major factions all went blank, their minds unable to process it.
They didn't believe a Quasi-Emperor would speak nonsense.
On the Yaochi side, the Yaochi Sacred Master parted her red lips slightly, at a loss for words.
The current foundation of their Yaochi was nothing more than a Quasi-Emperor.
And yet Jun Xiaoyao's mount was a Quasi-Emperor.
The gap was simply speechless.
An entire sacred ground couldn't compare to Jun Xiaoyao alone.
And over on the Sacred Spirit Island side,
the Bone Woman was already numb from shock.
Setting aside the Ultimate Calamity,
using a Quasi-Emperor as a mount, and even blocking a strike from a Profound Sovereign.
Only after witnessing it with her own eyes did she understand just how foolish and laughable her earlier thoughts had been.
And the Purple Gold Sacred Qilin, too, was no longer as arrogant and lofty as before.
Its gaze flickered with doubt and a hint of bluster as it spoke, "You shouldn't be of the Jun family. As a Quasi-Emperor, why would you lower yourself like this?"
Though the Purple Gold Sacred Qilin's cultivation was at the peak of Chaotic Dao Venerable, just one step away from Quasi-Emperor,
even one step away was the difference between heaven and earth.
Even relying on its sacred spirit body to barely hold its own against a Quasi-Emperor,
it would still be completely suppressed throughout.
"Enough talk. You've offended my master — you have no way out!"
The Fufeng King was decisive and struck directly.
His life now rested entirely in Jun Xiaoyao's hands.
So when it was time to perform, naturally he should perform well and show his loyalty.
The Fufeng King had thought it through.
Since resistance was impossible, he might as well embrace it fully.
And after Jun Xiaoyao had slain the Ultimate Calamity, the Fufeng King actually found himself thinking that being Jun Xiaoyao's mount might not be so shameful after all.
There was even the possibility of rising along with a powerful master.
The Fufeng King made his move, grabbing the Purple Gold Sacred Qilin and soaring into the sky to do battle.
For if they fought on the ground, the entire Yaochi Sacred Ground would likely be reduced to ruins.
After all, this was a Quasi-Emperor-level battle.
Boom, boom, boom!
Above the starry vault, a great battle erupted. The thunderous roars were like the fury of heaven, and countless great stars were shaken and sent crashing down.
The Fufeng King had always appeared rather cowardly.
But that was because he had been facing Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Wuhui, father and son — how could he not be?
Now that he finally had a soft target to deal with, the Fufeng King naturally needed to let off some steam.
Meanwhile, Jun Xiaoyao's gaze swept lightly over the beings of Sacred Spirit Island.
The Bone Woman, who had been so sharp-tongued and unyielding before, was now deathly pale, her already colorless face drained of every last trace of blood.
She actually felt that even if the Little Stone Emperor were present, he couldn't protect them.
The Little Stone Emperor was already domineering enough — to get what he wanted, he could send people to push an entire sacred ground to the brink of destruction.
But Jun Xiaoyao was even more domineering than the Little Stone Emperor.
"Everyone from Yaochi Sacred Ground, are you still not going to act?" Jun Xiaoyao said lightly.
"But…"
The Yaochi Grand Elder and the others still hesitated.
After all, Sacred Spirit Island was a powerful force, and Yaochi Sacred Ground truly couldn't afford to provoke them.
"It's fine. This young master will bear any consequences alone."
"I'd like to see whether Sacred Spirit Island has the guts to come settle scores with me."
Jun Xiaoyao swept his wide sleeve, utterly domineering.
This scene drew no small number of admiring sighs from the onlookers.
Now that's the kind of dominance that feels right — truly worthy of being the Jun family's Divine Son.
"The Divine Son has spoken. Why should we hold back any longer?" The Yaochi Sacred Master spoke up and was the first to act.
Yaochi Sacred Ground had long been seething with resentment toward Sacred Spirit Island.
Now that Jun Xiaoyao had spoken and was backing them up, Yaochi Sacred Ground had nothing to worry about.
With the bond through Jiang Shengyi, Jun Xiaoyao would never let anything happen to Yaochi Sacred Ground.
With the Yaochi Sacred Master and Yu Qingning and the others joining the fight, the situation became a complete one-sided rout.
Without the Purple Gold Sacred Qilin, the Yaochi Sacred Master alone could handle the powerhouses on Sacred Spirit Island's side.
"I never expected that not only did he not die, but he appeared before everyone in an even more brilliant and stunning manner."
Standing beside Jiang Shengyi was a woman of graceful beauty and slender figure.
Nine divine rings behind her head radiated light, flickering in and out of sight.
It was none other than the Divine Silkworm Princess of the Divine Silkworm Valley.
Back on the Ultimate Ancient Road, the Divine Silkworm Princess had also been a renowned Nine-Transformation Divine Silkworm.
But after being thoroughly beaten by Jun Xiaoyao on the Burial Emperor Star, she had been handed over to Jiang Shengyi as a maidservant.
Now, seeing Jun Xiaoyao again, the Divine Silkworm Princess inevitably recalled the nightmare of the past.
"I always knew that Xiaoyao would never disappoint."
Jiang Shengyi's red lips curved upward, a smile at the corner of her mouth.
Beside her, the Divine Silkworm Princess noticed this, her eyes flickering with mild surprise.
Though Jiang Shengyi was not exactly cold as ice in her daily manner, she was still cool and aloof, rarely smiling, her heart devoted entirely to cultivation.
Only when Jun Xiaoyao was mentioned would a warm smile appear at the corner of Jiang Shengyi's lips, as though she transformed into a young woman in love.
But gazing at that extraordinary man standing atop the vault of heaven, white robes billowing, his bearing peerless,
the Divine Silkworm Princess found herself feeling just a little envious of Jiang Shengyi.
Though Jiang Shengyi was a rare beauty, one in ten thousand,
Jun Xiaoyao was unmatched across past and present, with few who could stand beside him.
The two of them were truly a perfect match.
Boom!
Just then, above the heavens, it was as if a thunderclap had exploded.
The Purple Gold Sacred Qilin came crashing down from the starry vault, gravely wounded.
Clearly, facing a Quasi-Emperor, it was still a step short.
"My lord!"
The Bone Woman felt a chill run through her entire body, fear flooding her eyes.
Even the Purple Gold Sacred Qilin had been defeated — they were truly in danger this time.
Seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand and brought out the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron, three-legged and two-eared, immeasurably heavy, with primordial mother qi swirling within it.
"Such fine material — can't let it go to waste."
Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
The beings of Sacred Spirit Island had always been nothing but material in his eyes.
Such a large piece of divine-marked purple gold was impossible to find anywhere else — only the physical bodies of these sacred spirits could reach such a level.
So in ancient times, there were also Great Emperors who made a point of suppressing rampaging fully-matured sacred spirits, precisely to obtain their physical bodies and refine them into Emperor-grade immortal weapons.
Of course, fully-matured sacred spirits were no easy targets either — those who lacked the confidence and ended up burying themselves were not few in number.
