If possible, he would do his best to take that middle-aged man with him.
After all, up to this point, the middle-aged man had been quite obedient.
Seeing the few of them injured, Emperor Jun immediately redirected the Solar Trueflame while preparing a new wave of it.
"Fellow Daoist, help me!"
Emperor Jun called out to Eastern Lord Duke beside him.
Eastern Lord Duke immediately understood and gathered the Pure Yang Energy. This time, however, he did not use it to attack, but spread it over the Solar Trueflame, making it even fiercer.
At that moment, the Fusang Tree within Emperor Jun's body was stealing even more eagerly. These Pure Yang Energies carried no attack, making them far better than before.
It stole a little at a time, slowly storing it away so it could merge it into itself later.
Emperor Jun naturally noticed what the Fusang Tree was doing, but since the middle-aged man beside him had not noticed, he did not interfere too much.
Besides, he needed to focus on sending these four to meet their Fifth One and Sixth One.
Chased by the Solar Trueflame, the four Demonic Cultivators could only flee in disarray.
They had originally been the ones surrounding and killing Emperor Jun and Eastern Lord Duke, but now the tables had turned, and they had become the hunted.
"Boss, what do we do?"
Second One asked through a secret voice transmission.
While being pursued by the Solar Trueflame, Boss glanced at Emperor Jun and Eastern Lord Duke and immediately understood who was carrying this battle.
At the same time, he noticed that some among them had begun considering escape.
"A Primordial Being is right here. If we replace our Origin Essence, we will have more choices. Whether we continue as Demonic Cultivators or assume new identities, it will be up to us."
"Are you really willing to give up like this?"
Naturally, the others were unwilling. In the eastern part of the Primordial World, being a Demonic Cultivator was a serious problem. They had been living far too miserably.
"Of course not. Boss, just tell us what to do," Third One said directly.
"Do you see the being controlling the trueflame? Split up, then attack him directly."
"This is our only chance. If it fails, we flee immediately."
Boss said through secret voice transmission.
"Understood," the others replied at once.
They immediately scattered, and Emperor Jun split the Solar Trueflame to pursue them.
When Emperor Jun saw them charging toward him, he instantly understood the four men's intentions and shouted, "Gather the Pure Yang Energy around me!"
Eastern Lord Duke had no time to think and immediately directed the Pure Yang Energy toward Emperor Jun.
As the four drew near, Emperor Jun immediately revealed his true form. A massive Three-legged Golden Crow appeared above the sea.
Golden Crow!
The two words instantly surfaced in the minds of the four, but they did not alter their objective and continued closing in on Emperor Jun.
Emperor Jun made no further move. He even stopped controlling the Solar Trueflame outside to pursue them.
He focused all his attention on mobilizing the Solar Trueflame and Magical Power within his body.
This time, facing the four of them, he did not pour out all his Solar Trueflame as he had when facing Fifth One and Sixth One.
By the time the four entered a certain range, dense Pure Yang Energy already filled the space around Emperor Jun.
"Kill!"
With Boss's furious roar, all four unleashed their full strength, and four divine abilities came crashing toward Emperor Jun.
Emperor Jun showed no fear and spewed blazing Solar Trueflame from his mouth.
The blazing Solar Trueflame came into contact with the Pure Yang Energy and instantly became more violent and ferocious, directly melting away the four men's divine abilities.
At the same time, the raging Solar Trueflame swallowed the four of them whole, scorching their bodies.
"No!"
Miserable screams rang out again, one after another, until they turned to ash.
Run?
In that instant between life and death, the four had not even formed the thought of fleeing before they had already become ashes.
Seeing that all four had died, Emperor Jun swallowed the fierce Solar Trueflame back into his belly, while the Fusang Tree took the chance to gather up the Pure Yang Energy.
Eastern Lord Duke beside him noticed nothing, and Emperor Jun said nothing more.
The Solar Trueflame filling the sky vanished, leaving five Innate Spiritual Treasures floating in the air.
Eastern Lord Duke made no move and simply looked at Emperor Jun.
Emperor Jun returned to human form and restrained his aura, especially that innate bearing of his. Then, with a casual gesture, the five Innate Spiritual Treasures flew before him.
His divine sense swept over the treasures, and he found that all five were merely low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, not particularly valuable.
After inspecting them, Emperor Jun sent two of the treasures before Eastern Lord Duke and said, "There are five Innate Spiritual Treasures. I will take three. Do you have any objections?"
"No objections, no objections."
Eastern Lord Duke replied hastily.
Though he felt pleased with himself for having killed those beings, he still knew his place before Emperor Jun.
After all, he knew that Emperor Jun had been the main force in this battle. Receiving two Innate Spiritual Treasures was already quite good.
Seeing that Eastern Lord Duke had no objections, Emperor Jun directly put away the remaining three Innate Spiritual Treasures.
"Fellow Daoist, until we meet again."
Emperor Jun looked at Eastern Lord Duke and said.
After saying that, Emperor Jun ignored the look on Eastern Lord Duke's face as if he wanted to speak, and directly used the Rainbow Transformation Art to leave.
He had already obtained his opportunity. He also wanted to see the legendary Mount Buzhou and, while there, learn about the current state of the Primordial World so he could plan for the future.
"Young friend, wait."
The voice had not come from Eastern Lord Duke, but from a clear female voice tinged with urgency.
At the same time, Emperor Jun felt a powerful force trying to imprison him, greatly restricting his divine abilities.
Not good, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal!
A trace of panic rose in Emperor Jun's heart.
The moment that force appeared, Emperor Jun sensed that the person behind it had a cultivation realm higher than his own.
He was only one thin layer away from the realm of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. The newcomer was therefore very likely a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
The instant he was restrained by that force, Emperor Jun had wanted to unleash all his trump cards and break free to escape.
But he quickly suppressed that thought. From the meaning in her words, she seemed to bear him no ill will.
Moreover, he had a feeling that even if he unleashed all his strength, he might not be able to escape from this Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
So Emperor Jun stopped struggling and gave up the thought of fleeing.
Perhaps sensing Emperor Jun's response, the force restraining him vanished as well.
A woman with delicate features, dressed in silver-white Palace Attire, appeared before Emperor Jun and Eastern Lord Duke.
Her cool and aloof temperament carried a gentle warmth, the two blending together perfectly.
Before Emperor Jun or Eastern Lord Duke could speak, the woman said directly, "I am Wangshu. I witnessed everything you did just now."
"Indeed, not bad."
The moment those words were spoken, both Eastern Lord Duke and Emperor Jun became extremely solemn.
After all, how could they not be terrified when a Grand Luo Golden Immortal had been hidden nearby?
Wangshu took in their reactions, but did not continue to reassure them.
Her gaze turned to Emperor Jun, her eyes filled with appreciation.
From the battle just now, she knew that the person before her had been the key. His performance in battle had also been commendable.
He was merely somewhat too aloof. Other than during battle, he hardly communicated with his companion. He also seemed to greatly enjoy concealing himself.
It was truly difficult to imagine that a being capable of wielding such explosive Solar Trueflame would possess this sort of personality.
Yet Emperor Jun could not be blamed for this. With memories from a later age, he knew that the Primordial World was filled with schemes and calculations, so he kept everyone at a distance to protect himself.
"You left too quickly just now, so I had no choice but to restrain you. Please do not take offense."
Wangshu said to Emperor Jun.
For a Grand Luo Golden Immortal to speak such apologetic words to a Golden Immortal, Emperor Jun naturally understood the sincerity behind them.
Though he had not completely let down his guard, he did feel much better.
The reason he had not completely let go was that this was the first time he had felt his life entirely beyond his own control.
