Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1262 - 871 Demonic Way!

This was also a part of Emperor Qin’s plan, where he aimed to create an illusion to strengthen the Twelve Golden Men as much as possible, leading his enemies to mistakenly believe that his trump card was these Twelve Golden Men.

Once all Twelve Golden Men were promoted to Quasi-Saints and then formed the Twelve Dutian God-killing Array, they would definitely unleash battle power at the level of Great Divine Transcendents.

Controlled by Emperor Yu, the power unleashed could nearly match his peak level, truly posing the greatest threat even in the eyes of Great Divine Transcendents.

If Emperor Yu’s enemies really believed this, they would inevitably appear to stop him, unwilling to watch idly as he empowered the Twelve Golden Men.

And as long as those Great Divine Transcendents who practiced the Innate Water Tao appeared, Emperor Qin’s goal would be achieved, and then, he would launch his true countermove.

"Die!"

Emperor Qin’s first target to strike was the ancient Kunpeng.

As Kunpeng was deeply ensnared in the Heavenly Star Array, and being attacked by a great army, Emperor Qin’s Martial Dao will suddenly appeared and thrust a punch at him.

"What?"

"Emperor Qin, is that you..."

Seeing Emperor Qin suddenly, Kunpeng was initially shocked, and then, there was no then.

His incarnation was merely at the late stage of a Quasi-Saint, which had already been seriously injured under the assault of the Heavenly Star Array and millions of Martial Dao puppets.

Now, with Emperor Qin’s Martial Dao will suddenly appearing, delivering him a punch, even if Kunpeng’s incarnation hadn’t been injured, it might not have been able to withstand it with the battle power of a Great Divine Transcendent, let alone now when he was already severely injured.

Thus, with just one punch, Kunpeng’s incarnation was brutally blasted apart by Emperor Qin.

After his body shattered, Kunpeng tried to reform, but alas, Emperor Qin’s persisting punching will entwined with his shattered body kept grinding his flesh, preventing him from recovering.

Meanwhile, the Twelve Golden Men trembled, each emitting an innate divine light that segmented Kunpeng’s shattered body into twelve parts, each Golden Man whisking away a part and rapidly refining it.

"Emperor Qin!!!"

"How dare you destroy my incarnation!"

Simultaneously, within the Demon Clan hall deep in the Northern Netherworld, Kunpeng’s furiously angry voice suddenly echoed.

He was truly infuriated; his current visit to Xianyang had not been meant to target Emperor Qin, he merely wished to retrieve a precious fragment of the Demon Clan, a piece of the Heavenly Stars.

Long years ago, Kunpeng knew that Emperor Qin had collected many fragments of the Heavenly Stars.

Or to put it, both of them, one was desperately collecting the Heavenly Star Banner, and the other, the fragments of the Heavenly Stars.

This was also why Kunpeng and Emperor Qin were at odds, each wanting to eliminate the other to seize the treasures they possessed.

But alas, they could not overpower each other. With Emperor Qin reigning as a monarch through two eras, his status was supremely exalted, and though Kunpeng was stronger, he dared not make a move against him.

Likewise, while Emperor Qin was keen on killing Kunpeng, could Kunpeng, the founder of the Great Ancient Heavenly Court and the Demon Shaman of the Demon Clan, be so easily slain?

Establishing the Heavenly Court, what an immense feat!

Not to mention Emperor Yu, even among the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race, aside from the Heavenly Emperor, neither the Human Emperor nor the Earth Emperor dared claim they could surpass Kunpeng, at most, they might match him.

Emperor Yu was no match for Kunpeng and naturally couldn’t kill him.

Neither could do anything to the other, so they simply stalled, with Kunpeng eventually winning, wearing Emperor Qin down to death.

Since then, Kunpeng had been waiting for a chance to obtain the fragments of the Heavenly Stars collected by Emperor Qin. He had thought he might have to wait tens of thousands of years for such an opportunity.

But unexpectedly, merely three to four hundred years after Emperor Qin’s death, he encountered this opportunity.

The emergence of Emperor Qin’s treasure trove presented the perfect chance for Kunpeng to seize the fragments of the Heavenly Stars.

Of course, being cautious, Kunpeng did not go in person but sent an incarnation instead. Little did he expect that this incarnation had hardly been in Xianyang for long before being slain by Emperor Qin.

This truly infuriated Kunpeng.

However, despite his anger and fierce threats, he did not step out of the Demon Shaman Palace, nor did he send another incarnation to Xianyang. freēnovelkiss.com

The more troubled the times, the less Kunpeng dared to go to Xianyang, as Emperor Qin’s current state was abnormal, having fallen with only a Martial Dao will remaining.

In such a condition, anyone who confronted Emperor Qin would likely be drawn into mutual destruction with him.

A doomed Martial Dao will in exchange for a Great Divine Transcendent’s demise was always a profitable trade.

Kunpeng didn’t want to die yet, naturally, he wouldn’t appear before Emperor Qin. Moreover, he did not wish to be used by others.

Emperor Qin’s scheme, Kunpeng could guess a bit—it was not aimed at him but at others, those Great Divine Transcendents who practiced the Innate Water Tao.

Those were Emperor Qin’s sworn enemies, and to rise to being a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, they inevitably had to confront Emperor Qin, so, one way or another, they had to appear this time.

The reason they hadn’t yet appeared was they were waiting to see if someone would act first, to test Emperor Qin for them.

Understanding this, Kunpeng refrained from taking action; acting now would merely make him a pawn for those others, gaining no benefits and possibly even encountering life-threatening dangers.
