1453: Chapter 1453: The Path of Combat 1453: Chapter 1453: The Path of Combat “To summon or not to summon.”
Qin Jun folded his arms, hesitating.
If he performs a targeted summoning of a God and Demon now, he’s afraid it would be akin to serving up a dish to be devoured.
It might be better to try fusing the system rewards once.
“System, fuse the five random draw opportunities with the five skill inheritance opportunities!”
Qin Jun commanded in his mind; he had over ten random draw opportunities, but due to his OCD, he felt at ease only by using different system rewards.
Lately, task after task had been completed, and aside from summoning Gods and Demons, extreme awakening, and inheriting the Great Dao, he had saved the other system rewards.
Even using them wouldn’t change anything, so it was better to save them.
“Ding!
The fusion of five random draw opportunities with five skill inheritance opportunities has begun!”
As the system’s notification sound echoed, Qin Jun narrowed his eyes, waiting.
His mood was still relaxed; judging by the tasks triggered and Gongxi Duya’s attitude, Saint Patriarch Chu Dao wouldn’t kill him.
He would either be kept as a restraint against Xuandang or as a threat to the White Emperor.
Whichever it was, Qin Jun would be safe for the time being, as long as he didn’t act arrogantly.
The longer the delay, the more it favored him.
“Have you heard about Rensmile recently?
Rumors of Rensmile have begun spreading in the ancient Imperial Paths, praising this person for having beauty that surpasses that of peerless maidens.”
At that moment, a being, rather abruptly, spoke up—probably too bored and looking for some topic to pass the time.
Rensmile?
Qin Jun was taken aback.
That guy went to the ancient Imperial Paths?
“I’ve heard of him.
It’s said that his cultivation is profound and enigmatic, not even the Great Emperors can do anything to him.”
“What’s the background of Rensmile?
I never heard of him before.
But some days ago, he killed an Invincible Supreme Emperor, causing a stir in the ancient Imperial Paths.”
“How vast are the ancient Imperial Paths, filled with many who devote their lives to arduous cultivation.”
“Is Rensmile really that handsome?”
The beings grew more engrossed in their conversation, which left Qin Jun speechless.
He even suspected the news was spread by Rensmile himself; that guy was too vain, wasn’t he?
“Rensmile might just be a clown; don’t think too much of it.
He won’t be able to act arrogantly for long,” Gongxi Duya said, shaking her head.
She then laughed, “Instead of Rensmile, you should pay attention to Huo Xundi’s wedding.
It is said that the first-generation Extreme Flame Demon God might come out of seclusion.”
Huo Xundi!
The first-generation Extreme Flame Demon God!
The eyes of all beings lit up.
The Extreme Flame Demon Clan had an excellent relationship with the Huo Family.
Although they were enemies of Warlord Huo Qubing, they all admired the elegance of the first-generation Extreme Flame Demon God, Ji Haoye, an existence even Saint Patriarch Chu Dao couldn’t compare to.
“Will Huo Qubing seek help from the first-generation Extreme Flame Demon God?” a being asked cautiously.
Huo Xundi was Huo Qubing’s son, and that the first-generation Extreme Flame Demon God would attend the wedding banquet reflected the close relationship between them.
“Although Ji Haoye fears neither heaven nor earth, he wouldn’t tear his face off with our Saint Patriarch for the sake of Huo Qubing.
Besides, since we have captured the puppet Heavenly Emperor, would Huo Qubing dare to say a word?” Gongxi Duya sneered.
In her view, Huo Qubing’s protection of Qin Jun obviously involved unspeakable secrets.
For countless years, the old members of the Heavenly Emperor’s stone palace had all become prominent figures.
Who would submit to one another?
“I really am the Heavenly Emperor.”
Qin Jun interjected seriously, leaving the beings speechless.
Gongxi Duya scoffed with satire; the fool was too deeply immersed in his role, and not even the Great Dao could save him.
“Ding!
Congratulations to the host for fusing five random draw opportunities with five skill inheritance opportunities into one Great Dao inheritance opportunity!”
Just then, the system notification sound rang out again, causing Qin Jun to squint his eyes.
Dao inheritance opportunity!
Indeed, misfortune is the basis of fortune!
“Draw from the Dao!”
“Ding!
Starting the random draw for Dao inheritance!”
“Ding!
Congratulations to the host for drawing the Battle Dao!”
Battle Dao?
Qin Jun was stunned for a moment, asking inwardly: “Is there a difference between the Battle Dao and the War Dao?”
“Of course, there is.
The War Dao is purely about combat, but the key to the Battle Dao lies in the word ‘battle’.
Once activated, the battle spirit never fades, and the combat never ceases.
If the War Dao relies on instinct, then the Battle Dao is all about the battle spirit,” explained the system.
It sounded reasonable, but why did it feel like this Dao inheritance was tailor-made for Sun Wukong?
Qin Jun was speechless.
Sun Wukong wasn’t by his side, making it difficult to bestow the Dao inheritance upon him.
“Let’s first see if there is anything suitable for transforming the Sun Wukong bloodline.”
Qin Jun opened the Mythical Marketplace, after all, Gongxi Duya and the others could not see the system interface.
Sun Wukong’s ultimate awakening barely reached the perfection of the Saint Realm.
It would be difficult for him to stand out after receiving the Dao inheritance.
As his favorite God and Demon, how could he fall behind?
Gongxi Duya glanced at Qin Jun, noticing this youngster gesticulating in the air, looking quite off his rocker.
“Why did the Saint Patriarch want to capture him?
Could it be he also has his eye on the Heavenly Emperor’s stone palace?”
Gongxi Duya couldn’t figure it out, but she was no ordinary person.
Having lived for countless years and being a Supreme Great Emperor of the Wují level, she had a strong premonition.
For some reason, the more she looked at Qin Jun, the more uneasy she felt in her heart, as if she had captured a keg of gunpowder capable of overturning the ancient Saint Emperors’ way, ready to explode at any moment.
…
Above the magnificent and boundless Star Paths of the ancient Saint Emperors’ way, countless stars were suspended.
The spiritual energy was so abundant that it seemed like mist in the Immortal Realm.
Unlike other universes, this place appeared to be a true Immortal Realm.
The flying Divine Beasts were extremely massive, including Sea Dragons that were tens of thousands of zhang long, giant White Eagles with wings spreading across the sky, and long insects sheathed in silvery shiny carapaces, all of them immense beasts of the starry skies, roaming the Star Paths.
In the ancient Saint Emperors’ way, there were many such Star Paths connecting it, and on both sides of the Star Paths, they led to countless unknown cosmic planes.
A black star suddenly burst out with terrifying blood-colored flames, the pillar of energy was comparable in diameter to a star, striking through the galaxy unendingly, with a majestic momentum that could break through all heavenly planes.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh…
One after another, exceedingly formidable beings made of fire flew over, all of them the true forms of Fiery Demons, their surfaces flowing like magma.
“The original Clan Leader has emerged from seclusion!”
“What terrifying momentum, how strong is the original Clan Leader exactly?”
“It is said that a long time ago, the original Clan Leader surpassed the Supreme Great Emperors, and no one knows the realm he’s in now.”
“If I could achieve one-tenth of the original Clan Leader’s accomplishments in this lifetime, I would die without regrets.”
The Fiery Demons discussed among themselves.
Within the ancient Saint Emperors’ way, the Fiery Demon clan was a tyrant of a Star Path, and the original Fiery Demon was the stuff of legends.
Soon, from the pillar of flames, a domineering figure flew out—two zhang tall, draped in a black fur coat, with wild black hair and a face covered in blood vein patterns, the fierceness of the Fiery Demon was fully displayed.
It was Ji Haoye!
Compared to the Chaos era, Ji Haoye had now fully grown, his whole being exuded an air of unrivaled pride.
In his eyes, it seemed as if the entire ancient Saint Emperors’ way was included.
“Huu—”
Ji Haoye exhaled a breath that stretched tens of billions of li, blowing countless stars into smoke and ash, silent yet horrifyingly intense.
“Original Clan Leader, the Clan Leader has left a message that the Heavenly Emperor has already appeared in this unparalleled battle,” one of the Fiery Demons flew over quickly and reported with a fist salute; as soon as the words fell, the entire Star Path suddenly went silent, the stars ceased to turn, creating an eerie stillness.
