Chapter 1793: Li Jun Reveals His Might

Extreme Night Divine Continent

There were Divine Fruit-level fighters locked in mortal combat in every divine continent except this one. However, this didn't mean that the battles here were any less intense. On the contrary, it was the most chaotic and frenetic.

This was the location where the divine continents had dispatched the most Heavenly Emperors to. As a result, the disruptions caused by Heavenly Emperor-level battles were spread far and wide, causing worldly natural energy to rage violently and energy tempests to sweep across every inch of the Extreme Night Divine Continent.

The battles were originally stalemates, but with the addition of the Acheronian Sun buff, the pressure on the divine continents' Heavenly Emperors had increased drastically, causing some to be injured.

Bang!

The most intense battlefield was Li Jun's. His towering figure stood tall in the sky, tightly gripping his Golden Coiled Dragon Staff. He stirred worldly natural energy and transformed it into Authority, unleashing a mighty offensive. However, his attacks were being blocked by two Grand Devil Kings with three Authorities each. They were the Crimson Ghoul Grand Devil King and the Defiled Thunder Grand Devil King.

These two were Li Jun's old nemeses. They had faced off against each other for hundreds of years in the Nobles' Battlefield, and Li Jun had always suppressed them. However, the two Grand Devil Kings had joined hands today, so they were suppressing Li Jun with their numerical advantage.

Despite that, Li Jun's combat ability was so outstanding that he was keeping Crimson Ghoul and Defiled Thunder locked down here, preventing them from wreaking havoc elsewhere. That said, his situation was becoming more and more precarious due to the blessing of the Acheronian Sun.

Weng!

Immense amounts of Authority clashed, making a heaven-shaking impact. Countless layers of the void collapsed when Li Jun took a heavy hit and was sent flying back. Cracks had appeared on the Golden Coiled Dragon Staff after that collision. He circulated the power of the three Authorities within his body to stabilize himself, gloomily glaring at the two devilish gods.

Crimson Ghoul was the first to coldly laugh, its body a striking crimson, as though it was in flames. "Li Jun, you actually dare to challenge us alone?"

Li Jun's handsome and youthful visage smirked as he casually replied, "Haven't I been keeping the two of you busy here?"

"It ends here!" Crimson Ghoul and Defiled Thunder both scoffed icily.

They both activated all of their Authorities, causing the void on the left and right of Li Jun to shatter like glass. Two gigantic devilish palms stretched out of the rifts, forming an enclosure that threatened to crush him.

When Li Jun saw this, the Golden Coiled Dragon Staff expanded explosively, turning into a pillar that could prop up the heavens. It then smashed into the palms. The weapon began to let out a faint creaking sound as it was pushed to its limit when dealing with this frightening attack. The number of cracks on its surface increased yet again. Li Jun's expression turned solemn, pushing his three Authorities to the limit in an attempt to defend himself.

When Crimson Ghoul and Defiled Thunder saw Li Jun getting trapped, they taunted, "Li Jun, stay right here while we kill your woman!"

Immediately after speaking, the two Grand Devil Kings soared away to another part of the Extreme Night Divine Continent. They were going towards Zhen Fu! She was in her Heavenly Dragon form, unleashing incredible blows in a brutal battle against another three Authority Grand Devil King.

Clearly, Crimson Ghoul and Defiled Thunder knew that Li Jun would be hard to deal with. As a result, they had opted to temporarily restrain him and rush off to other battlefields, focusing their strength and to kill off other Heavenly Emperors, ending the stalemate. Zhen Fu was an excellent target.

When Li Jun saw where his old foes were going, his expression warped into one filled with endless fury and his killing intent surged. But before he could act, the descending devil palms that were imbued with Authority crushed the surrounding space into tiny fragments as they closed in on him.

Weng!

Meanwhile, Crimson Ghoul and Defiled Thunder had already arrived on the other battlefield. They joined forces with the Grand Devil King that was attacking Zhen Fu, immediately attacking her. Three destructive attacks streaked across the sky, completely blocking off Zhen Fu's escape routes on top of catching her off guard.

The sudden ambush startled and infuriated her. However, there was nowhere to go at this moment, so she had no choice but to try to block them head-on. She was well aware that dealing with the combined attacks of three Three Authority Grand Devil Kings would leave her critically injured, despite her powerful body.

"Roar!"

The violet-gold Heavenly Dragon let out a thunderous roar that echoed across the entire Extreme Night Divine Continent. All of her scales shone resplendently, and ancient seals created from the power of Authority augmented her defensive abilities. Just as Zhen Fu was about to weather the all-out attacks of the Grand Devil Kings, the sky suddenly exploded and the clouds were torn apart.

A golden staff manifestation so humongous that it could cover the skies descended furiously. It struck the combined attacks of the Grand Devil Kings before Zhen Fu could even react.

Bang!

As a massive shockwave unfurled across the entire continent, a look of surprise flickered through Zhen Fu's eyes. She could see that the combined assault of the Grand Devil Kings had been completely smashed out of existence by the staff manifestation. Immediately after, the staff pierced through the void and directed its remaining power towards the three Grand Devil Kings.

Bang!

The void detonated violently as all three of them were struck hard, sent plummeting into the ground, creating three bottomless pits.

"Li Jun?!" Zhen Fu shouted. She was far too familiar with the Authority imbued around Li Jun's staff. How had he suddenly become so strong?

The void before her rippled a handsome youth wielding his Golden Coiled Dragon Staff strode out confidently. He looked at Zhen Fu, grinning. "Ah Fu, that was pretty impressive, right?"

As Zhen Fu studied Li Jun closely, she noticed that several magnificent halos that resembled rings of stars had appeared around him. Each halo represented mastery over a single Authority, and there were four of them around him! Four Authorities!

Zhen Fu's eyes widened as she blurted out in surprise, "Have you managed to reach the realm of four Authorities?"

"I obtained enlightenment during a critical juncture. However, my fourth Authority is only in an embryonic form, and it will take a long time to properly refine it," explained Li Jun, grinning.

On the other hand, Zhen Fu was a little envious. She had been stuck at her current stage for countless years, finding it difficult to take that last step. She had never thought that Li Jun would surpass her.

"Hm, now that you've reached the realm of four Authorities, can't you change the way you look for me?" asked Zhen Fu, looking at Li Jun's youthful form disdainfully.

Her human form was very tall due to her Heavenly Dragon bloodline. She had also mentioned countless times that she hoped Li Jun would adopt a form that matched hers. In the end, he merely grinned slyly, ignoring her. His strange taste left her speechless.

Li Jun beamed at her as he said, "Our lives are long, so we need to keep things interesting. Wouldn't we die of boredom otherwise? Alright, these things aren't important right now. Let's deal with these cretins."

He walked forward, stepping on Zhen Fu's head with his staff in hand. His eyes were still overflowing with icy murderous intent as he glared at the three devils who were rising out of the holes they had been knocked into. The previous attack was not enough to cripple these three.

Zhen Fu let out an ear-rending roar as she flashed forward in a stream of golden light. The man and the dragon had effectively fused into one unit, overflowing with boundless Authority that crashed down towards the three enemies. The three Grand Devil Kings were equally incensed, summoning up all of their strength to launch a counterattack.

Bang!

A terrifying energy tempest was kicked up once again. The sudden disturbance caused the other Heavenly Emperors throughout the Extreme Night Divine Continent to turn their attention towards them with narrowed eyes.

In another battlefield, Li Jingzhe had glanced over with furrowed brows before turning his attention to the three foes before him. One was an old man, another a youth, and the last was a child. The strange thing was that even though there were three opponents, their auras were one.

"Li Jingzhe, it's truly a pity we didn't manage to kill you in the World's End River Region," all three said at the same time. They spoke with different tones, but the words were the same.

If they were talking about the World's End River Region, then they were obviously the Grand Devil King that had appeared there all those years ago, the Tri-Pupil Enigmatic Fetus Grand Devil King!

It was the one responsible for Li Jingzhe's death. If Li Luo hadn't managed to retain his grandfather's final scrap of vitality, allowing him to turn disaster into fortune and reach the Heavenly Emperor Stage through the rebirth process, he would have been well on his way into the afterlife. Thus, it could be said that both parties held bone-deep hatred for each other.

"Even though you were fortunate enough to become a Heavenly Emperor, you only have a single Authority. I have two, and with the addition of the Acheronian Sun, I will be able to end your old life again with ease. Nothing has changed," Tri-Pupil Enigmatic Fetus mercilessly declared as it glared at the old man's wizened figure.

Li Jingzhe had indeed been on the backfoot so far; however, he remained unmoved. Looking into the distance, he indifferently replied, "The fact that these old bones have been able to live so long is an unexpected blessing. If I die here today, I will be more than satisfied with the life I've lived. My strength is insufficient to be of assistance to my grandson. The only thing that is left for me is to ensure that you rabble are prevented from causing him any further trouble. In the past, I was unable to completely seal you. It's time to finish the job."

Li Jingzhe took a step forward.

Weng!

The void above him shattered as Corrupted Authority swept out towards him. Li Jingzhe's body immediately collapsed upon being struck by the vicious blow. However, at that moment, a fine spring rain descended on the area, enveloping the world.

Tri-Pupil Enigmatic Fetus's three bodies felt a little disconcerted at what was happening. Its bodies shot backwards, attempting to retreat. As they did so, the earth beneath them suddenly gave way, and golden bamboo shoots sprouted out like sharp spears, piercing through the three bodies and ripping them to shreds.

The remnant pieces of its flesh seemed to contain a life of their own, and they began to scatter in all four directions in an attempt to flee. However, even more bamboo shoots burst forth. Every single golden bamboo shoot ran through a piece of flesh and bone, then they retracted and buried the pieces of flesh under their roots.

In just a short span of time, a golden bamboo forest that stretched for millions of miles appeared on the Extreme Night Divine Continent. It was truly a breathtaking sight. Li Jingzhe had sacrificed his body to create a bamboo forest capable of sealing Tri-Pupil Enigmatic Fetus for three hundred years.
