Chapter 1071 1071 The Jun Family's Move
The entire Chaotic Demon Sea, and even the foreign realm, was thrown into turmoil because of the matter of the Six Kings.
On the immortal realm's side, things were stirring as well.
Someone noticed that the Jun family, which had always been sitting calmly on the sidelines, seemed to be quietly making moves.
Some of the Jun family's quasi-emperor ancient ancestors, scattered across various ancient lands and even forbidden zones, began to gather together.
Some of the Jun family's forces also appeared to be assembling.
This left countless immortal powers utterly bewildered.
After all, in the previous clashes between the immortal realm and the foreign realm,
the Jun family had contributed, but overall they had been watching from the sidelines, never fully mobilizing.
Some believed that even if the immortal realm were truly breached,
the Jun family could probably form a world of their own and remain unscathed.
That was why the Jun family had never gone all out.
But now,
seeing the Jun family mobilize, many were shocked.
"Has the sun started rising in the west?" an old relic from an ancient imperial clan muttered.
"Let's see what the Jun family is planning. Still, something feels off — their intentions can't be that simple. Could they be scheming something big?"
On the side of the Supreme Immortal Court, powerful figures were also pondering this.
But regardless, the people of the immortal realm had a vague premonition.
It felt as though something earth-shattering was about to happen.
Something that might completely change the tide of the war between the two realms.
……
The foreign realm, the Chaotic Demon Sea.
Three figures moved swiftly through the void.
It was none other than Jun Xiaoyao and his two companions.
Jun Xiaoyao walked with his hands behind his back, as leisurely as if strolling through a courtyard.
He controlled the Kunpeng's extreme speed and also had the Space Tome — if he hadn't deliberately slowed down, there was no way Shen Le and Su Hongyi could have kept up with him.
"We should be almost there." Jun Xiaoyao gazed into the distance.
"That area ahead should be the mist zone, located at the boundary between the Chaotic Demon Sea and the Unspeakable Land." Shen Le said.
"In that case, could the last of the Kings be an ultimate imperial clan being who emerged from the Unspeakable Land?" Jun Xiaoyao mused.
"Very likely." Shen Le gave a slight nod.
The ultimate imperial clan — the most mysterious and ancient power in the foreign realm.
Their standing was on par with the Jun family, the Immortal Court, the Underworld, and other top-tier immortal powers of the immortal realm.
It could be said that the foreign realm's immense strength and aggression owed no small part to the ultimate imperial clan.
"Interesting. I'd actually like to meet one of the ultimate imperial clan's outstanding talents." Jun Xiaoyao said casually with a smile, without a trace of tension.
Shen Le was at a loss for words.
Even she felt a flicker of unease when encountering beings of the ultimate imperial clan.
Because there were rumors that the oldest bloodlines of the ultimate imperial clan seemed to have a profound connection to the ultimate calamity.
Of course, this was a taboo subject in the foreign realm, and even Shen Le couldn't dig up much about it.
Just then, Jun Xiaoyao suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He swept his sleeve and said, "Stand back!"
Su Hongyi and Shen Le were both sent stumbling backward by the force.
In that instant, Jun Xiaoyao sensed that time in the small area around him seemed to have stopped flowing.
The space ahead suddenly split open with a crack.
A figure came crashing down directly toward Jun Xiaoyao to suppress him.
"The Zhujuyin bloodline!"
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed. His body shook, and chaotic energy surged out from within him like a volcanic eruption.
The power of chaos was itself a supreme attribute of force.
Not much inferior to the power of time.
In almost an instant, Jun Xiaoyao broke free.
Then he clenched his fist and collided head-on with the incoming figure.
"Oh?"
The figure was clearly startled for a moment, not expecting Jun Xiaoyao to break free of the restraint so easily.
Then the two fists met!
Boom!
The collision rang out like a thunderclap from clear skies — runes flared and exploded, and waves ten thousand zhang high surged all around!
The entire sea surface was completely flattened by the pressure of that clash of laws!
Cough!
A muffled cough rang out as the figure was sent flying back several hundred zhang before finally coming to a stop.
Only then did Jun Xiaoyao lower his fist and look at the figure.
"Zhuyue, how dare you!" came Shen Le's sharp cry from behind.
The figure was a young and handsome man in a black robe, black hair flowing loose, with a candle dragon scale mark between his brows.
It was unmistakably the imperial son of the Zhujuyin bloodline, the Second King — Zhuyue!
"The Chaos Physique. The reputation is well deserved."
Zhuyue slowly raised his hand.
The hand he had punched with was still trembling slightly.
Cracks had spread through the bones of his arm.
If not for the fact that the Zhulong bloodline possessed an exceptionally powerful physical body,
that single exchange would have blown his arm apart entirely.
"You're Zhuhuan's older brother, the Second King, Zhuyue."
Jun Xiaoyao's tone was flat and indifferent.
He looked at Zhuyue, his brow furrowing slightly.
He had noticed it — there seemed to be an unusual aura about Zhuyue.
An aura that felt very familiar to him.
The aura of a Heavenly Tome!
But what made Jun Xiaoyao frown was this:
it did resemble the aura of a Heavenly Tome, yet something felt subtly off.
Zhuyue paid no attention to Shen Le and Su Hongyi, his gaze fixed on Jun Xiaoyao.
"I hear you carry one of the Nine Heavenly Tomes — the Soul Tome?"
"Oh? Sounds like you have one too."
Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow slightly.
He had more than just the Soul Tome.
He also had the Body Tome, the Space Tome, the Treasure Tome, and the Life Tome.
Of course, Jun Xiaoyao wasn't foolish enough to say any of that out loud.
"I am indeed quite interested in the Soul Tome you carry." Zhuyue said.
"And I'm quite interested in the Heavenly Tome you carry. If I'm not mistaken, what you obtained should be the Time Tome, one of the Nine Heavenly Tomes."
Just as the Space Tome expounded on the ultimate dao of space,
the Time Tome recorded the ultimate dao of time.
This also aligned perfectly with the innate divine ability of the Zhujuyin bloodline.
No wonder — Jun Xiaoyao had sensed it earlier.
Zhuyue's mastery over the power of time was far beyond what Zhuhuan could compare to.
Beyond natural talent,
it was likely also connected to Zhuyue having studied the mysteries of the Time Tome.
"How about this — if you hand over the Soul Tome to me, I'll let go of the grudge of you killing my younger brother. What do you say?" Zhuyue said with a cold smile.
Bonds of kinship, in the face of self-interest, were worth nothing at all.
Jun Xiaoyao laughed as well.
"I'm the one who fits the key. Do you?"
"You……" A cold gleam flashed through Zhuyue's eyes.
He understood — Jun Xiaoyao was mocking him.
"You've already provoked Naraku. He is the Demon Dark Sovereign who commands the Six Kings."
"And now it seems you want to make an enemy of me as well?" Zhuyue said in an indifferent tone.
"Setting aside whether that Naraku is truly the Demon Dark Sovereign — even if he is, what does that mean to me?"
"And you — what are you, exactly?"
Jun Xiaoyao's casual tone made Zhuyue's eyes grow even colder.
"It seems you have no interest in the Time Tome I carry."
If not for the fact that Jun Xiaoyao's strength gave him pause,
combined with the presence of Su Hongyi and Shen Le on his side,
Zhuyue would have simply taken it by force long ago.
"Do you think I don't know — that Time Tome of yours probably isn't the real one." Jun Xiaoyao's tone carried a note of mockery.
He carried five Heavenly Tomes himself and understood them better than anyone.
Although Zhuyue carried the aura of a Heavenly Tome, something about it never felt like the genuine article.
Zhuyue's expression shifted slightly, but he still sneered, "So what if it isn't real? At the very least, it was recorded by my clan's ancestors."
"Besides — don't you want to know the true whereabouts of the Time Tome?"
"As for its true whereabouts, I'll find out on my own. All I need to do is……"
Before Jun Xiaoyao could finish, he raised a hand and pressed it down, bearing down on Zhuyue with overwhelming force.
The First King and the Second King — battle was imminent!
