The Eternal Realm was developing in an orderly manner, and the Eternal Sect’s disciples were improving their realms in an orderly manner.
When idle, Jun Changxiao would often sit on the mountain peak, sensing that new comprehension of heaven and earth after breaking through to Heavenly Mystery Realm.
Very profound, very special.
“The Land of Eternal Life.”
“What kind of place is it exactly?”
“Can I enter it in this lifetime?”
Jun Changxiao yearned to pursue power, though his realm improvements all relied on cheats.
“Don’t think so far ahead.” The system said, “Focus on the present and how to complete the main quest.”
Speaking of the main quest made Jun Changxiao angry. The quest progress had been stuck for a long time. Even during those few years of fast-forwarding through the Universe Holy War preliminaries, there hadn’t been any increase.
“Can only place hopes on the finals. Perhaps winning the championship will bring improvement.” Dog Sheng said to himself.
“Hard to say.”
The system said, “This kind of competition is limited to young talents, so it probably doesn’t relate to domination.”
“Jinx!”
Jun Changxiao said, “Keep jinxing!”
The system didn’t get angry or roar, saying, “In my view, if Host wants to complete the main quest, the most reliable method is to take down the Heavenly Demon Emperor!”
“…”
Jun Changxiao fell silent.
Even when mentioning that fellow, Gu Tianxing would show wariness, indicating his power in the upper universe was considerable. If he resolved him, perhaps the main quest could be completed.
“Looks like.”
Jun Changxiao rubbed his face and said, “Even if I don’t inherit the Xuanyuan Realm, I still have to become enemies with him.”
“Sect Master Jun.”
A voice came to his ear, “The Alliance Master wants you to come to the great hall.”
“Whoosh!”
Jun Changxiao returned to his room from the Eternal Realm and replied, “Understood.”
…
Star Sea Alliance great hall.
Jun Changxiao strode inside.
At this moment, not only was Gu Tianxing there, but also Vice Alliance Master Peng and other high-level members. Their facial expressions were more serious than one another.
“Uncle, what’s up?” Jun Changxiao sat down and said.
“See for yourself.”
Gu Tianxing tossed over a letter.
This was a letter of challenge, its content reading—Three days hence, I shall come to your realm for a battle.
The signatory: Heavenly Demon Emperor.
“…” Seeing this, Jun Changxiao’s expression became wonderful.
Just now he had been thinking about that fellow, and now out of the blue a letter of challenge arrived!
“In my view.”
Vice Alliance Master Peng said with a solemn expression, “The Heavenly Demon Emperor suddenly sending a letter of challenge should be inseparable from his adopted son being tormented.”
“Therefore.”
Gu Tianxing said, “I’m worried that this time when he comes, it’s not to challenge my Crossing Heaven Realm, but rather…” He looked at Jun Changxiao and said, “To challenge the Eternal Sect.”
“No way!”
Dog Sheng was somewhat devastated.
The Heavenly Demon Emperor, this kind of existence belonged to the big boss level. Because his adopted son was bullied, he was rushing to roll up his sleeves and enter the scene—wasn’t the pacing too fast!
At the very least, give me some time to develop!
“He’s probably worried that after Host’s wings harden in the future, he won’t be able to handle you, so he’s killing his way over preemptively.” The system said.
“…”
Jun Changxiao was speechless.
Once a villain had intelligence, how could this even be played!
“Kid.”
Gu Tianxing said, “Quickly take your people and leave Crossing Heaven Realm.”
“Uncle.”
Jun Changxiao stood up, his expression grave as he said, “If the Heavenly Demon Emperor is coming because his adopted son was tormented, as the party involved, how can I leave?”
In the past, if he couldn’t win, he would definitely run.
But this was Crossing Heaven Realm. If the Heavenly Demon Emperor came targeting him and couldn’t find anyone, he would definitely vent his anger on this dimensional plane, thereby implicating Uncle Gu.
“This is not the time to play hero. Hurry and leave before that fellow arrives.” Gu Tianxing urged.
The Heavenly Demon Emperor, this wildly ambitious fellow, was definitely not to be trifled with.
“Uncle.”
“I won’t just run away.”
“Since Heavenly Demon Emperor has declared war, the Eternal Sect will accept the challenge!”
Jun Changxiao’s attitude was extremely firm. In that moment, even his back became incredibly imposing.
“…”
Gu Tianxing was speechless.
He had originally wanted to continue persuading, but meeting Dog Sheng’s gaze, he immediately dismissed the thought and changed his words, saying, “Uncle will fully support you.”
“We!”
Vice Alliance Master Peng and other high-level members stood up and said, “Will also support Sect Master Jun!”
The Eternal Sect’s disciples represented Crossing Heaven Realm in the Universe Holy War, earning enough prestige. They would naturally give their full support.
Undeniably, although Dog Sheng was sometimes very mischievous, very cheap, and very shameless, the friends he made were all good. At least when encountering danger, they wouldn’t stand by and watch.
And this.
Was charisma.
…
“What to do, what to do!”
After returning to the Eternal Sect, Jun Changxiao paced back and forth.
Don’t look at how righteously he performed in the Star Sea Alliance great hall—his heart was actually panicking like mad.
“Why panic?”
The system said, “Just fight and be done with it!”
“…”
Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched as he said, “I have no confidence!”
He had broken through to Heavenly Mystery Realm. According to traditional plot development, when the protagonist’s realm improved, a villain would surely come to be tormented, creating a thrill. But this time it wasn’t some small fry coming—it was the big boss. Who could handle this!
Simply put.
Jun Changxiao didn’t believe that with his current cultivation, he could battle the Heavenly Demon Emperor.
“Unless!” He stopped, his eyes grave as he said, “You come fight for me!”
Dog Sheng’s greatest characteristic was improving through cheats, and his greatest trump card was having the system possess him to fight on his behalf.
If cheating doesn’t work, find a substitute player.
Please, be human!
“…”
The system said, “Then Host should just run away.”
It wasn’t that it didn’t want to help, but rather that once it appeared, it would bring unpredictable serious destruction to the upper universe, even endangering the entire universe’s operational system.
“No, no.”
Jun Changxiao rubbed his face and said, “Must think of a solution.”
Under the premise of not being able to run away, and with the system unable to help, how to deal with the Heavenly Demon Emperor was an extremely thorny problem.
…
Three days later.
Light rain fell continuously, the atmosphere oppressive.
Outside the Star Sea Alliance great hall, Gu Tianxing and numerous high-level members had grave expressions.
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
The space in the sky rippled like disturbed lake water, and a sinister aura had already permeated the entire dimensional plane.
The living beings residing in Crossing Heaven Realm trembled in their hearts and spirits. Especially those demon beasts—as if sensing a great personage was about to arrive, they all knelt on the ground with fear in their eyes.
“Whoosh—”
Suddenly, a stream of light flew from the spatial ripples.
“He’s here!”
Gu Tianxing’s heart clenched.
At the same time, the stream of light standing proudly in the firmament weakened, revealing a figure wearing a mask and draped in black robes. Towering demonic energy permeated his entire body, as if a demon god had descended.
“Crack crack crack!”
The spatial barriers couldn’t withstand the terrifying demonic energy and began to crack on a large scale.
Just his aura alone could shatter space. This made Vice Alliance Master Peng and others, who had held onto hope, immediately confirm that the newcomer must be the Heavenly Demon Emperor who made the entire upper universe tremble with fear!
“Alliance Master Gu.”
The black shadow said sinisterly, “This Emperor’s first visit—please be understanding.”
“…”
Gu Tianxing’s brow furrowed.
Every word the Heavenly Demon Emperor spoke contained soul-level attacks, making him feel immense pressure, causing cold sweat to gradually seep from his forehead.
“Dong!”
Just then, the melodious sound of a zither rang out.
The Heavenly Demon Emperor looked toward the sound and saw a young man sitting at a table on a mountain peak outside the Star Sea Alliance, his hand resting on an ancient zither, smiling as he said, “When friends come from afar, is this not delightful?”
Xiao Zuiji and Ye Xingchen were cosplaying as bookboys standing on either side.
“You are?”
“The Sect Master of the Eternal Sect.”
Jun Changxiao answered calmly, though his heart was panicking like crazy.
Because when the other party looked at him, the terrifying demonic energy also pressed over. If he hadn’t stepped into Heavenly Mystery Realm and could barely withstand it, in the past he probably would have vomited three liters of blood long ago.
Damn it!
The final boss before the ending was indeed formidable!
