Could it be that the mysterious supreme expert figure we saw earlier was a method unleashed by Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao?
Perhaps it's some kind of battle Puppet, an Emperor Realm Puppet?
That would be too rare. An Emperor Realm Puppet, even an Emperor Clan might not possess one.
Moreover, can an Emperor Realm Puppet kill a true Great Emperor? That was a Devouring Race Great Emperor.
Everyone present was discussing animatedly.
Jun Xiaoyao had never displayed his Divine Spirit Dharma Body in the Boundary Sea.
Killing the Scarlet Empress was the first time he had unleashed it.
So, naturally, everyone didn't know what method Jun Xiaoyao had used.
Jun Xiaoyao was too lazy to explain further.
Let them imagine it themselves.
"Haha, no matter the process, the result is beyond doubt."
An elder chuckled.
His gaze towards Jun Xiaoyao was different now.
Before, he looked at him like an extremely outstanding junior.
But now...
A junior who could slay a Great Emperor, even if he only used some special means.
But who knew if he could use it a second time?
Therefore, even these elders no longer dared to treat Jun Xiaoyao as a junior.
"It was him..."
Xiahou Divine Treasure's expression was very unpleasant.
He hadn't expected the object of his gratitude to be Jun Xiaoyao.
Huangfu Jing's heart was also far from calm.
Although Jun Xiaoyao wasn't using his own strength.
However, the result was astonishing enough.
"It seems those Quasi-Emperors were also killed by his methods."
"However, even if his battle strength can only deal with a self-severed Quasi-Emperor, that's astonishing enough."
"In the future, he will be a competitor to my cousin," Huangfu Jing thought to herself.
It wasn't just her; everyone present felt the same.
Except for the Great Emperor-level Imperial-level Devourer.
The other King-level Devouring Races should also have been killed by Jun Xiaoyao using some means.
But they didn't know.
Jun Xiaoyao, relying on his own strength, truly killed a Quasi-Emperor-level Three-Headed King.
So everyone thought that Jun Xiaoyao's own peak battle strength should be limited to dealing with a Quasi-Emperor who had self-severed a Dao.
The merits Jun Xiaoyao had accumulated continued to cause ripples.
But Jun Xiaoyao was the calmest person in the entire place.
He also knew that in a few days, the Hongchen Emperor Son should arrive.
He definitely wouldn't be able to sit still.
As expected.
A few days later.
Nine divine birds, imbued with Divine Phoenix Bloodline, pulled a magnificent carriage, arriving at East Ridge Pass.
It was the Hongchen Emperor Son's carriage, the Nine Phoenix Chariot.
Seeing the Nine Phoenix Chariot appear, many Prodigies and Cultivators at East Ridge Pass ran out to watch the commotion.
They all knew about the one-year agreement between Jun Xiaoyao and the Hongchen Emperor Son.
"Jun Xiaoyao, come out!"
The Hongchen Emperor Son appeared, without the calm demeanor he had when he first arrived at East Ridge Pass.
There was a hint of exasperation.
It wasn't that he couldn't keep his composure.
It was just that this gamble was too important.
He had even made a Heavenly Dao oath, making it impossible to go back on his word.
That's why the Hongchen Emperor Son was anxious.
"Hongchen Emperor Son, there's still some time until the agreed date of the gamble. Why did you come directly instead of gaining more merits?"
Jun Xiaoyao appeared with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his handsome Face.
It was as if he was meeting an old friend.
He was so refined and amiable!
The Hongchen Emperor Son's handsome Face twitched slightly.
His eye twitched.
Go gain merits?
Do we still need to compare?
Should he directly go slay a Great Emperor of the Black Calamity Race?
No, to catch up to Jun Xiaoyao's merits, he would have to slay at least two!
"Jun Xiaoyao, I originally respected you as the Young Lord of the Yun Clan Emperor Clan, and like me, a descendant of a Gatekeepers."
"You should have magnanimity and courage, being open and aboveboard."
"I never expected that to win the gamble, you would resort to such despicable means!"
The Hongchen Emperor Son spoke, sounding very righteous.
"How was I despicable?"
Jun Xiaoyao showed a puzzled expression.
"You..."
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao like this, the Hongchen Emperor Son felt a surge of anger.
Was he deliberately trying to provoke him?
"Two third-class merits, slaying a Great Emperor, Jun Xiaoyao, who helped you? Was it Great Emperor Tianya?"
The Hongchen Emperor Son said coldly.
"How could that be?" Jun Xiaoyao shook his head.
"Do you take me for a fool? What is this if not cheating?" The Hongchen Emperor Son said coldly.
Jun Xiaoyao wanted to say, you are indeed quite foolish.
However, he still gave the Hongchen Emperor Son a little Face.
"I did use some methods to slay the Imperial-level Devourer, so what?" Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
"This is cheating!" The Hongchen Emperor Son said.
He was very unconvinced.
Jun Xiaoyao, however, said faintly, "Unconvinced? It doesn't matter."
"You can also go kill a Great Emperor. As long as no one else helps, you can use any means you want."
"Although I also used some special methods, from beginning to end, it was only me alone, and no one else assisted."
Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, the Hongchen Emperor Son's Face instantly darkened.
Although his father, Hongchen Great Emperor, had also given him some protective talismans and Magical Artifacts.
But at most, they were only for self-preservation.
Slaying a Great Emperor, that would be a bit exaggerated.
If a Great Emperor could really be killed so easily by some protective Magical Artifacts and methods.
Then a Great Emperor would not have such strong deterrent power and would not be able to stand above all living beings.
And special Magical Artifacts and methods that could kill a Great Emperor might themselves be rarer than the number of Great Emperors.
So Jun Xiaoyao's words directly left the Hongchen Emperor Son speechless.
The Hongchen Emperor Son's expression was cold. He really couldn't understand.
What special method did Jun Xiaoyao use to slay the Imperial-level Devourer?
"What method did you use to slay the Devouring Race Great Emperor?" The Hongchen Emperor Son said coldly.
Jun Xiaoyao, however, looked at the Hongchen Emperor Son with a gaze as if looking at an idiot.
"Would I tell you such a secret? Would you tell me all your trump cards?"
The Hongchen Emperor Son's Face turned green and purple.
Some of the Prodigies and Cultivators present were also whispering.
The Hongchen Emperor Son was indeed somewhat deranged with anger.
How could such a method be casually told to outsiders?
Jun Xiaoyao then continued, "But don't worry, this method of mine can only be used once. I'm not that Heaven-Defying; I can't slay a Great Emperor at any time."
"You don't have to worry that I'll go slay a few more Great Emperors and accumulate even greater merits."
Hearing this, some people breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially those who didn't have a good relationship with Jun Xiaoyao, they breathed a sigh of relief.
If Jun Xiaoyao could unleash a method to slay a Great Emperor at any time, how could they survive?
Among the younger generation, Jun Xiaoyao would simply be unrivaled.
Although he seems to be almost unrivaled among the younger generation even now.
Jun Xiaoyao's words were naturally also a statement, to make people not so wary of him.
Otherwise, what if 'leeks' like Li Wushuang and Chu Xiao, out of fear of his methods, wouldn't dare to cause him trouble in the future?
Then how would he harvest them?
