131: Start from a higher position to show respect

Jun Lingxiao's words were extremely arrogant, leaving everyone stunned.

Jun Siyu was somewhat uncomfortable under the invisible pressure, but Qiu Jinyao held her firmly in place.

Her eyes sparkled as she watched Jun Lingxiao's back, one hand tightly gripping Jun Siyu's, her mouth speaking to no one in particular.

"You must watch, watch what kind of person your brother is, see what kind of person you are related to by blood... This is your glory... something countless people envy, something unattainable..."

Qiu Jinyao's eyes were vacant, as if in a trance, while Jun Siyu looked up at her, then at Jun Lingxiao in the distance. She only felt even more dislike for this brother.

"Lingxiao! Even though he is a remnant soul, he is still a Great Emperor!"

"Boy, if you beg me, it's not impossible for me to make a move."

The first voice was Jun Yongzheng, while the second belonged to the leader of the True Dragon Clan, who had recently formed an alliance with Jun Lingxiao. He was also a Great Emperor, and in his true form. Facing such a remnant soul Great Emperor was only a bit troublesome, but not difficult to resolve.

Of course, that was only if Jun Lingxiao begged him.

Not only that, but countless voices were also in his mind. The usual cacophony seemed to have reached its peak at this moment, but unexpectedly, Jun Lingxiao's heart was surprisingly calm.

He truly was a favored one.

Countless people watched him, ready to act at any moment.

But... "No need."

After a casual reply, Jun Lingxiao took another step forward.

"Hmph! You talk a good game, we'll see how you beg for mercy later!" Since his identity had been revealed, he stopped pretending. Thunderclouds flickered, and a giant black hand stretched out from within, striking directly at Jun Lingxiao below!

Even without revealing its true form, or even a hint of its pressure, it was just a casual palm strike, devoid of a Great Emperor's might, yet it still carried immense power.

There was no doubt that if this palm landed, it would cause mountains to collapse and the earth to split.

But unfortunately, it couldn't land.

Crack!

A black lightning bolt was even faster than the descending misty hand! With a crack, it was as if the Void Realm exploded, sounding like thunder. After the sound, everyone only saw a lightning bolt suspended in place... No!

That was a lightning-shaped crack!

A Slash in the form of lightning tore through space! It even split the misty hand in two!

"Interesting, is this your method?"

The misty hand dissipated, and the Fire Hammer Great Emperor, looking down from the sky, regarded Jun Lingxiao with a hint of seriousness. Even he couldn't discern what kind of method that was.

But fortunately, Jun Lingxiao had no intention of hiding it.

"This is Divine Authority, a power that transcends Law."

"Interesting, and then?"

Jun Lingxiao then snapped his fingers, and eight Divine Halos appeared behind him.

"Divine Realm, reaching this Realm at this age is indeed extraordinary, and with eight rings, it's no exaggeration to say it's unprecedented and will never be surpassed."

"But this still doesn't change the fact that you are merely a Divine Realm cultivator."

Jun Lingxiao didn't immediately reply. Instead, he held the Divine Sword horizontally before his chest, observing it carefully, then spoke: "This is a sword move that Junior comprehended. Although it was created by a Mortal, after countless insights in Junior's hands, it has long since become incomparable."

"Interesting, you intend to challenge me with these little trinkets?"

Yes, in the eyes of a Great Emperor, these were merely insignificant trifles.

It was precisely because he was powerful that he was fearless, leisurely, and thus acted with the composure of a cat playing with a mouse.

From beginning to end, no matter how much of a Prodigy Jun Lingxiao was, before him, a Great Emperor, he was nothing more than fish on a chopping board.

Just as he expected Jun Lingxiao to admit it frankly, unexpectedly... "No."

As Jun Lingxiao spoke, he looked up at the sky, his gaze meeting the figure in the clouds. In his eyes... there was a fervent zeal, as if death was not enough, but deep down, it was like a sliver of ancient, unmelting ice.

At this moment, he was both mad and calm.

"As Senior said, these are merely insignificant trifles. Therefore, Junior will not use any of what was mentioned above."

As he spoke, a card appeared out of thin air in Jun Lingxiao's hand, and then... he crushed it.

Looking at his expression again, it was still that flamboyant confidence.

"It is fortunate to cross paths with an existence like Senior. I believe that after today, Junior's name will surely spread throughout the world, praised by tens of thousands. Therefore, Junior has decided to use my strongest trump card to show respect."

"Ding! Great Emperor Experience Card successfully used."

"Warning! Host Physique detected as weak, therefore: the effects of the Great Emperor Experience Card will gradually take effect within ten seconds. Countdown initiated: 10."

"9"

"8"

"7"

"6"

"Spread throughout the world?"

"Indeed, knowing I am a Great Emperor and still daring to oppose me. Tomorrow, the news of you, Jun Lingxiao, daring to attack a Great Emperor will spread."

The Fire Hammer Great Emperor laughed, his voice like thunder breaking the sound barrier, deafening, making people instinctively cover their ears.

But Jun Lingxiao interrupted him.

The young man closed his eyes and then opened them. As he slowly lifted his eyelids, the expression in his eyes changed. The resolute, or excited, fervent, or any other emotions all dissipated in an instant, replaced by a detached indifference. It was a gaze seemingly from a higher dimension, devoid of joy or sorrow, only scrutiny and apathy, nothing more.

"No."

He said calmly and indifferently.

"Indeed, there has never been a brave person who dared to attack a Great Emperor, but that title doesn't suit me. What will spread tomorrow..."

"Is the news of me slaying a Great Emperor."

"Senior will have the honor of becoming my stepping stone. Your efforts will not be in vain. I will step on you, Senior, to climb to a higher place, a position unprecedented, unchallenged, and even unimaginable."

As his words fell, Jun Lingxiao's small figure unknowingly suddenly became majestic, as if... a True God.

At the same time, the System's countdown reached its end.

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Ding! Great Emperor One-Minute Experience Card activated. Remaining time: 59."

"Jun Family • Supreme Heaven."

As Jun Lingxiao's figure gradually grew majestic, until he stood shoulder to shoulder with the Great Emperor! He decisively summoned his Domain.

Immediately, the heavens and earth became a temple. At this moment, his Domain was limitless, directly enveloping this entire world! Heaven was the Domain, earth was the boundary. At this moment, he was the Incarnation of the Dao! His Domain had already reached its complete form, a truly peerless Supreme Heaven!

The gates of the Jun Family's main hall, summoned by the Domain, opened wide, and countless people emerged from within, including various Human Sovereigns.

Having the cultivation of a Great Emperor was not enough; he also needed corresponding swords, swords powerful enough to cut down a Great Emperor!

So... Jun Lingxiao looked past countless people and immediately saw the Old Ancestor slowly walking out from the crowd.

The two looked at each other across the air, exchanging glances. No words were needed. The Old Ancestor, gazing at the Fire Hammer Great Emperor still in shock in the sky, immediately began his instruction.

"Lingxiao, what are you?"

"I am Jun Lingxiao."

"No, you are not. Say it again, what are you?"

"I am Heaven."

"That's right, but it's not enough. There is something beyond Heaven."

"My will is in Heaven, my will is on Earth. I am all living beings, I am all things. I am the epitome of the myriad lives in the world, I am the rule that governs everything. My will dances with all things, just as the stars illuminate the boundless sky."

"And now, 'I' shall bring destruction."

"Divine Sword!"

Not just a few words, but countless insights into the Heaven Sword, and even this Divine Sword, poured into Jun Lingxiao's mind. At this moment, he comprehended them all without the slightest pause.

Opening his eyes again, this time, Jun Lingxiao's indifferent eyes were encircled by a golden glow, giving him a touch of divinity.

"Yes."

He reached out and pointed distantly, pointing at the so-called Great Emperor, and spoke softly:

"Supreme Dao Law—"

"Divine Sword."

The next moment, a tangible wave swept over everyone. Before they could even think, the next moment... the sword's might was like a sea, like a prison!

Everyone looked up and saw only a giant sword descending from the sky, breaking through the Secret Realm's barrier, breaking through the clouds, breaking through everything, its massive tip slowly descending with an unstoppable momentum!

The scene at this moment was beyond description, and this giant sword before their eyes... was like a divine strike.

It's a bit troublesome to show the image here, so I'm borrowing from Bilibili's fantasy illustrations. It's roughly like this, with the person standing on that tiny bit of the sword tip, not even visible as a small dot.
