Chapter 18: Jun Proud of the Heavens!

Hahaha!

Hahahahahahahaha!

After leaving a final long laugh, Zhan Qianqiu then departed.

Below, many Heavenly Pride were still stunned by the impact of that statement about Zhan Qianqiu!

"Feng Caichen... what kind of being is that?!"

"To think they could win first place in the fracture of the Sword Son Trial among the countless Sword Dao lineages!?"

"Even Zhan Qianqiu seems to hold them in utmost admiration!"

"It certainly is an unimaginably peerless monster!"

……

Across the regions, wave after wave of overwhelming aura surged skyward, breaking through the barriers!

Towards Hengyu Land!

They are fighting for the earth‑shattering opportunity inside the ancient imperial tomb!

In this Heavenly Pride contest that engulfs Zhutian Wanjie, they forge a world of their own!

Hengyu Land, Ten Lands, Xuanming Land, Fallen Star Land, Burial God Land, Burning Heaven Land, etc…

Across the entire Ten Lands, countless Heavenly Pride have appeared!

Hengyu Land, Southern Region.

Three factions now find themselves in slightly different situations.

They are the Jun family, the Burning Heaven Sect, and the Rift Heaven Blade Emperor Sect.

These three sects have just experienced major events!

Ancestor has fallen!

Especially for the Jun family, not only the Ancestor, but also many Elders and the Divine Son regarded as the future hope, all fell during the assault on the Purple Clan!

It was thought to be the hope of going to annihilate the Purple Clan, even to completely eradicate them!

Who could have imagined such a result!

This is simply terrifying!

Whether it be the Jun family, the Burning Heaven Sect, or the Rift Heaven Blade Emperor Sect, this is an unacceptable matter!

This is the Jun family's true Sea‑Calming Divine Needle, an Immortal Dark Being, a millennial Titan, a truly profound existence!

When one looks at the Jun family's entire foundation, there are hardly any Immortal Dark Beings left!

One death reduces the count by one!

Moreover, what terrifies these three factions most is that the death of their Immortal Ancestor was caused by a horrific method they could not possibly comprehend!

This means that in their campaign against the Purple Clan, they encountered a being beyond their imagination!

And the later reports indeed confirmed this.

"Damn... that Huang Lao... who exactly is he?! Why help the Purple Clan, a family destined for extinction?!"

The newly appointed head of the Jun family, Jun Wu Yi, now wore an expression of utmost displeasure.

This Huang Lao is far too terrifying!

He is too fearful!

Such a terrifying being, even if the Jun family poured all its foundation into it, would have not the slightest hope of victory!

Simply hopeless!

At this moment, they not only dare not retaliate against the Purple Clan, but must also stay on guard for any possible revenge from the Purple Clan!

Moreover, if that enigmatic Huang Lao were to aid the Purple Clan against them, it would be an unimaginable disaster!

An Elder said in a deep voice:

"Head..."

"The situation has come to this... what shall we do?"

"As far as I know..."

"In fact, the reason we originally failed... there was another important cause..."

Jun Wu Yi's Dark Eye narrowed slightly.

"What reason?"

The Jun family Elder said:

"It seems to be an arrogant youngster who ascended from Six Harmonies Eight Kings, named Ye Wuque. This youth's methods are exceedingly ruthless; upon arriving at Hengyu Land, he slaughtered our family's Heavenly Pride. Later, when our family attacked the Purple Clan, he also appeared and opposed us!"

"Even! Our family's first‑rank Son of Sword and Divine Son Jun Xiaoyao and other Heavenly Pride were all slain by Ye Wuque!"

"This youth... ruthlessly cruel... truly a crime beyond measure... Head!" The Jun family Elder at this moment wore a face full of grief and anger.

Upon hearing this, the Jun family head Jun Wu Yi also flew into a rage!

"You scoundrel!"

"It's nothing short of courting death!"

"A beetle that ascended from that shit‑like place dares to oppose our family?!"

"Relying on a little power to be so ignorant of the heavens and earth, not taking our family into consideration?!"

Jun Wu Yi roared, slamming his right hand forward, crushing a finely crafted seat made of ancient stars into dust.

Then, his angry eyes widened, he looked around, and said coldly:

"What can be tolerated, and what cannot be tolerated!"

"Do the world think that anyone can bully our family?"

"If we do not slay this beast, where will our family's authority lie?!"

"Investigate! Go investigate at once! I will shred this ignorant ant's corpse into ten thousand pieces!"

Jun Wu Yi's sky‑splitting murderous intent surged upward!

The surrounding temperature dropped sharply by over ten degrees!

A terrifying scene!

"Yes!"

A strong member of the Jun family received the command and departed.

"By the way, how are things at the Central Region's Ancient Imperial Tomb?"

Jun Wu Yi seemed to recall something and asked.

"Reporting to the family head…"

"Currently… the fluctuations emanating from within the Ancient Imperial Tomb are growing increasingly intense…"

"If nothing goes awry, it should open after three days…"

Jun Wu Yi's face showed a hint of surprise.

"Is this opening truly so abnormal this time?"

"This should signify… an extraordinary, unparalleled opportunity!"

"Go, awaken the Ancient Divine Son that the Jun family has sealed for countless ages… Jun Ao Tian!"

"With such a crucial opportunity… the Jun family cannot fall behind! One misstep leads to another! We will utterly lose the right to contend for supremacy!"

"In this golden era… Jun Ao Tian should also emerge!"

Jun Wu Yi said lightly, his tone tinged with unmasked anticipation and satisfaction.

Clearly, he is very confident about the Jun family Ancient Divine Son Jun Ao Tian!

In fact, only the Jun family's core members know!

This Jun Ao Tian is truly the Eternal First Heaven's Pride of the Jun family!

Jun Xiaoyao is merely a front pushed forward.

Jun Ao Tian has been hidden by the Jun family for countless years, concealed so well that hardly anyone knows.

"This time, although the Jun family has lost many Heavenly Prides, I believe that under Ao Tian's leadership, the Jun family's younger generation will once again thrive endlessly and achieve brilliance!"

"You all… go make the arrangements!"

In the end, Jun Wu Yi gave the final word, ordering everything to be arranged.

Soon, deep within the Jun family Ancestral Land, inside an unfathomable Dongfu exuding a low‑key luxurious, ancient and mysterious aura.

Here, a pulsating mysterious crystal floats, neither water nor not, neither jade nor not, radiating an otherworldly, timeless aura.

This is the legendary… Undying Heavenly Essence!

An elder clad in Jun family Supreme Elder attire carefully approached the Undying Heavenly Essence, then slowly began to cultivate.

Then.

Boom!

The Undying Heavenly Essence explosively burst!

Inside, a tall, upright young man's Dark Shadow sat upright, cross‑legged within.

At a moment, with a swish, he opened his Dark Eyes.

These are a pair of sharp, unrivaled, domineering Dark Eyes.

"Hehe… the golden era I desire has finally arrived…"

"I, Jun Ao Tian… am finally about to emerge!"

"Upholding the Jun family's oldest will, I shall, in this era, radiate the Jun family's most brilliant, invincible splendor!"

"Those who dare to block me shall all turn to dust beneath my feet…"

The Jun family Ancient Divine Son revived from the Undying Heavenly Essence!

Beside him, the Jun family Supreme Elder had already bowed his head deeply, his weathered voice reverently echoing.

"Old one… pays his respects… Ancient Divine Son!"

Jun Ao Tian gave a faint glance at the Jun family Supreme Elder, and subtly nodded.

Then, stepping into the Void ahead with a single step!

In an instant, he arrived above the Jun family sky!

The next moment, the entire area erupted with a deafening, earth‑shaking clamor!

"We… pay our respects… Ancient Divine Son!"

"We have seen the Ancient Divine Son!"

"The Ancient Divine Son is invincible! He will surely lead the Jun family to traverse the Nine Heavens Ten Earths!"

Jun Ao Tian stands proudly in the Void, arms embracing the heavens, his face showing an extreme flash of ambition and edge!

"Everyone… follow me… to campaign against the Ancient Imperial Tomb!"

"Raise the Jun family's supreme prestige!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The deafening shouts rang through the ten directions of the Void.

Then, streams of Jun family disciples' silhouettes merged into a torrent, following Jun Ao Tian's steps toward the Ancient Imperial Tomb in the Central Region of the Constant Universe, surging forward!
