Primordial World: I, Emperor Jun, Only Want to Build the Primordial World

At the same time, Emperor Jun saw the sincerity in Eastern Lord Duke's eyes and said, "That was exactly my intention. But we are not facing two opponents—we are facing six."

"Six?"

Eastern Lord Duke looked deeply surprised.

"Yes. Two each from the east and west, and one each from the south and north. They are closing in on us."

Emperor Jun spoke quickly.

Emperor Jun had also tried changing directions repeatedly to escape, but this group was highly experienced at surrounding their targets and gave him no opportunity. Whenever anything unexpected happened, beings from at least two directions would immediately move toward him.

Without waiting for Eastern Lord Duke to respond, Emperor Jun made his decision.

"From what I can sense, the two beings we encountered first are the weakest. Though there is only one on each of the northern and southern sides, their auras are extremely powerful—at least peak Golden Immortals."

"We'll head east. Even if we cannot kill those two, we must weaken their combat strength."

The six beings were rapidly closing in according to Emperor Jun's senses, so he had no time to speak further with Eastern Lord Duke.

After saying that, he immediately headed east, deliberately slowing down considerably to accommodate Eastern Lord Duke's speed.

If this middle-aged man in splendid robes failed to keep up, Emperor Jun would use him as bait and look for an opportunity to escape.

After all, compared to Emperor Jun, Eastern Lord Duke was far too slow. He was perfectly suited to serve as bait.

After hearing Emperor Jun's words, Eastern Lord Duke instinctively flew after him.

The innate aura Emperor Jun possessed made him trust Emperor Jun's words and unconsciously obey his commands.

The two headed east, and before long, they encountered those two beings again.

"Fifth Brother, are these two Primordial Beings idiots? They actually came back."

Fifth One looked at Emperor Jun and Eastern Lord Duke rushing toward them and said with a smile to Sixth One beside him.

Unfortunately, Sixth One was not smiling like his fifth brother. Instead, his expression turned grave.

"This is bad, Fifth Brother."

The moment Sixth One spoke, Solar Trueflame poured down upon them from all across the sky.

Emperor Jun had attacked with the intention of taking their lives.

In his haste, although he could not draw upon more power from the Sun Star, he had already amassed the Solar Trueflame within his body.

The moment he drew close to them, Emperor Jun released the Solar Trueflame without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing Emperor Jun attack, Eastern Lord Duke immediately launched his own attack as well.

A vast amount of Pure Yang Energy continuously gathered and surged toward the two men.

With the addition of Pure Yang Energy, the Solar Trueflame seemed to have found suitable fuel and became even fiercer, instantly engulfing the two in flames.

While maintaining his attack, Emperor Jun glanced at the middle-aged man beside him in surprise. He had not expected this man's attack to provide such tremendous assistance to the Solar Trueflame.

Eastern Lord Duke was equally astonished. He had not expected such a result.

However, Emperor Jun frowned at that moment, though his expression quickly returned to normal.

The Fusang Tree within his body had secretly stolen a trace of Pure Yang Energy and was attempting to merge it into itself.

Perhaps having learned its lesson from stealing Solar Trueflame before, the Fusang Tree had only stolen a tiny amount this time. Moreover, rather than immediately merging it into itself, it had stored it first.

Was this what it meant to learn from a setback?

Emperor Jun did not know whether to laugh or cry at the sight.

However, seeing that the middle-aged man beside him did not seem to notice, he said nothing and returned his attention to the battlefield.

Standing outside the Solar Trueflame, Emperor Jun watched the two blurry figures within the flames as miserable screams rang in his ears.

One of the figures gradually turned to ashes and scattered across the sea. The other charged out of the Solar Trueflame, though large portions of his body had been badly burned, and some parts had even been charred black.

Enduring the pain, he could not help looking toward the place where his fifth brother had turned to ashes.

The moment he realized something was wrong, he had protected himself as much as possible and tried to warn Fifth Brother.

Yet before he could issue that warning, the attack had already arrived. With no defenses in place, Fifth Brother had been burned alive into ashes.

He raised his eyes toward the two Primordial Beings he had once coveted. The middle-aged man looked delighted, while the stern and imposing young man was charging toward him.

In an instant, he realized that he was no longer hunting these two. The question was whether he could escape from their hands.

He immediately tried to flee, but how could his speed compare to Emperor Jun's Rainbow Transformation Art? This was Emperor Jun's most confident divine ability.

Without question, this Demonic Cultivator died here as well.

Emperor Jun moved so quickly that Eastern Lord Duke had only just reacted.

He had still been immersed in the joy of killing an enemy, yet that Golden Crow had already attacked the other one.

This Golden Crow truly possesses an unyielding mind. I am inferior to him!

Eastern Lord Duke sighed inwardly.

The deaths of the two Demonic Cultivators also left Emperor Jun somewhat stunned.

In Emperor Jun's view, neither he nor the middle-aged man had much experience in magical combat. That was evident from the way they had fought.

Yet the abilities they could wield were indeed extraordinary: one possessed Solar Trueflame, while the other wielded Pure Yang Energy.

At that moment, Emperor Jun could not help thinking, They are both Golden Immortals, yet these two were so weak.

Emperor Jun was not the only one who felt this way. Eastern Lord Duke felt the same.

Unlike Emperor Jun, who understood the Primordial World and did not feel much complacency, Eastern Lord Duke had only been born recently. Winning his first battle so easily filled him with confidence, and he was even beginning to grow arrogant.

"There are still four left. Fellow Daoist, why don't we fight them again?"

Eastern Lord Duke looked eager to try.

Seeing Eastern Lord Duke's expression, Emperor Jun knew that he could no longer wait to fight another battle.

As it happened, Emperor Jun felt the same way. He still had many trump cards he had not used.

The power of the Sun Star, the Hetu Luoshu Diagram, and the Fusang Tree he had just subdued.

Emperor Jun looked at Eastern Lord Duke and nodded.

Then Emperor Jun drew the Solar Trueflame that had not yet burned out back into his body, lest the enemy discover his primary means of attack.

Eastern Lord Duke waited quietly at the side. Though he did not understand some of the Golden Crow's actions, he did not say anything.

The Solar Trueflame on the sea soon vanished. Emperor Jun was just about to call Eastern Lord Duke over to search for the other four when his expression suddenly turned grave as he stared ahead.

Within his senses, four Golden Immortal auras were rapidly approaching.

These Demonic Cultivators had sensed that Fifth One and Sixth One's auras had vanished, which was why they were rushing over. Otherwise, they would have continued enjoying the sight of their prey fleeing in panic.

Just like that Primordial Being who had kept trying to escape in every direction earlier.

As for why they had rushed over, it was not to save Fifth One and Sixth One. They were worried their prey might escape their encirclement.

When the four arrived and saw that Emperor Jun and Eastern Lord Duke were still there, they immediately relaxed.

"Where are Fifth One and Sixth One?"

One of them asked in confusion.

Only then did they shift their gazes away from Eastern Lord Duke and Emperor Jun, searching for Fifth One and Sixth One.

"Sixth One is over there!"

The man who had just spoken suddenly pointed at the sea.

The others looked over as well and indeed saw Sixth One floating on the water.

"Hahaha! Since Sixth One is dead, Fifth One must be gone too. That's two fewer people to share the Primordial Origin Essence with."

"Second Brother, shut up! You—"

Before he could finish speaking, Emperor Jun attacked directly. Solar Trueflame instantly surrounded all four of them.

Emperor Jun had been waiting for an opportunity all along. Seeing their attention shift elsewhere, he struck without delay.

Perhaps because he was nervous, or perhaps for some other reason, Eastern Lord Duke was once again a step too slow.

By the time he reacted, the four Demonic Cultivators had already fled beyond the range of the Solar Trueflame.

However, caught off guard by Emperor Jun's sudden attack, they were in a miserable state. All of them had suffered burns of varying severity.

Solar Trueflame still clung to their bodies, attempting to invade their insides.

It took at least five times as much Magical Power to extinguish the Solar Trueflame on their bodies. The injuries to their flesh, bodies, and Primordial Spirits left them in great discomfort.

The few Innate Spiritual Treasures on them were not defensive in nature either, leaving them truly powerless against the Solar Trueflame.

Only then did they realize that they had truly provoked someone they could not afford to offend.

Emperor Jun saw the state of the four as well, and his heart settled.

If these four had been completely unafraid of Solar Trueflame, Emperor Jun would not even have revealed his trump cards. He would have left this place immediately.
