Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 62 Bu Qianfan, Dragon Relic

North of the Fallen God Mountains lies Yunyang City.

Since the death of the Xia family's sacred body, the righteous and evil factions have fought many battles around this city for several years, with many young prodigies challenging them in the city to make a name for themselves.

Recently, two very important and outstanding individuals have arrived in the city.

One is Xia Shaoyang, a genius of the Seven Absolutes from the Xia family, who possessed the Earth Physique and was recently defeated by Emperor Yi in the struggle for the position of young master.

The other is Bu Qianfan, who is currently ranked first on the Eastern Region Ranking.

Bu Qianfan comes from the powerful Bu Sheng Clan, which holds a high position in the Ministry of War of the Imperial Court. He is the leading figure among the younger generation of the Bu Sheng Clan.

He reached the Supreme Realm when he was in the Yellow Realm, and was valued by Bu Sheng, who regarded him as the future saint of the Bu Sheng clan.

On the city wall, the two men faced each other from a distance of several dozen feet.

Inside and outside the city walls, numerous martial artists from both the righteous and evil paths gathered to watch the battle. In the shadows, a semi-saint was also observing with his holy thoughts, acting as a protector for both sides.

Xia Shaoyang possesses a powerful physique, with an earth-bound body no weaker than that of a saint, while Bu Qianfan has reached the supreme realm once and is also extremely skilled in swordsmanship.

On the city wall, Xia Shaoyang and Bu Qianfan had already clashed. Both of them were at the Great Perfection of the Earth Realm and had passed through the Seven Absolutes Tower's seventh level, where they were both Seven Absolutes Geniuses.

The two were evenly matched and fought to a standstill, exchanging more than ten blows in the blink of an eye.

In the bustling crowd, a beautiful figure stood in the corner. She was a young woman in a light blue outfit, her face covered by a thin veil.

Looking at the two figures on the city wall whose cultivation levels were similar to her own, the woman couldn't help but sigh, "Only after leaving Tianmo Ridge did I realize what a true genius is. Compared to these two, the so-called Ten Outstanding Talents of Tianmo are more like a joke."

"Perhaps only he will be able to catch up with the top geniuses in the Eastern Region in the future."

The image of Zhang Ruochen appeared in Han Qiu's mind. The ninth prince of Yunwu County was indeed incredibly talented and had great potential.

Not only did he discover her secret of possessing a dark body, he also pointed out a clear path for her.

The Dark Body is a legendary forbidden constitution, representing great terror. Once it grows up, it will bring endless disasters to the world, making people tremble with fear at the mere mention of it.

Han Qiu is the daughter of the sect leader of the Yuntai Sect. She was born into a noble family, which allowed her to grow up smoothly. She also cultivated the sect's most powerful technique, the Supreme Sacred Universe Technique, which used the power of extreme Yang to suppress the dark power within her body.

However, Zhang Ruochen told her that if she continued to rely on the Supreme Heaven and Earth Technique to suppress the power of darkness, she would explode and die once she broke through to the Heavenly Realm. The only way was to join the Liangyi Sect of the Eastern Divine Land and learn the sect's supreme divine scripture, the Taiji Primordial Dao.

Only by balancing the power of darkness with the innate principles of Tai Chi can the crisis be resolved for her.

Not only that, Zhang Ruochen also taught her the Yin Yi Nine Swords, the ultimate technique of the Liangyi Sect, so that she could use it as a basis to find a way to join the Liangyi Sect.

After informing his father about this, Han Qiu made a decision and chose to leave Tianmo Ridge and enter the Thirty-Six Prefectures of the Eastern Divine Land. By a twist of fate, he ended up in Yunyang City on the edge of the Fallen God Mountain Range.

While they were pondering, the battle between the two on the city wall had already been decided. Bu Qianfan, relying on his swordsmanship, won by a slight margin and defeated Xia Shaoyang.

Bu Qianfan has a wild appearance, with a messy beard on his chin and an air of arrogance about him.

"The prodigy of the Xia family is nothing more than this. It seems that there is really no one in the black market who can hold their own in this generation."

Having lost to Emperor Yi twice in a row, Xia Shaoyang was no longer so hard to accept defeat, and he just smiled sarcastically upon hearing this.

“Bu Qianfan, your strength is indeed impressive, but you dare to claim that there is no one left in the black market. I suspect you will soon pay the price for this.”

Upon hearing this, Bu Qianfan laughed loudly and said, "So, there's someone stronger than you in the black market? Who is he? Let him come and fight me."

Since becoming famous, Bu Qianfan has been invincible among those in the same realm. He is not afraid even of the Holy Body and has long cultivated an invincible heart.

Xia Shaoyang's expression turned ugly, and he said coldly, "Don't you know that the Black Market First-Class Hall has already chosen a new young master? Once he makes a move, you will understand what it means to be ignorant of one's own limitations."

"The young master of the Black Market?" Bu Qianfan's disdain faded slightly. The young masters of the Black Market's First-Class Hall throughout the ages were no ordinary people; each of them had stirred up the winds and clouds in the Eastern Region.

"To become the young master of the Black Market's First-Class Hall, he must be the strongest person in the Black Market this generation. I will fight him another day and make him fall under my blade."

Bu Qianfan did not underestimate the new young master of the Black Market First-Class Hall, but that was all; he did not think he would be defeated in a confrontation with him.

"No need to change the date, isn't today perfect?"

A soft laugh came from outside the city. Before the words had even finished, a figure in a golden-patterned black robe appeared before everyone's eyes. It was Di Yi.

Emperor Yi strode over and landed on the city wall, with the Seven Fiends Envoys behind him like stars surrounding the moon.

Each of the Seven Fiends was an exceptional individual, possessing extraordinary bearing. Standing together, they immediately attracted the attention of countless people, making Emperor Yi, who was being protected by them, appear even more extraordinary.

"Is he the new young master of the First-Class Hall in the Eastern Region's black market?"

"He looks so young; I've never heard anything about him before."

……

The martial artists watching the battle were abuzz with discussion. Many hidden experts were observing Di Yi, trying to gauge his true strength and understand the nature and power of this young master of the black market.

When Xia Shaoyang saw Di Yi, the unparalleled composure he had displayed when fighting Bu Qianfan vanished instantly. Like a mouse encountering a cat, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.

"You are the young master of the Black Market First-Class Hall?" Bu Qianfan sized up the young man in front of him, feeling an unprecedented sense of oppression from him. No one in the same realm had ever made him feel this way.

Di Yi was also sizing him up, and said indifferently, "Bu Qianfan, the number one on the Eastern Region Ranking, who is known as invincible among his peers, has quite a reputation, but I wonder if he has the strength to match his reputation." Bu Qianfan did not answer Di Yi's question, but instead looked at Murong Yue behind him, and his heart trembled.

"It's her. How could she be a member of the black market, or even one of the Seven Fiends?"

More than a year ago, Bu Qianfan met a woman by chance while he was training outside. He fell in love with her at first sight and pursued her relentlessly, but he never succeeded.

After the woman left, Bu Qianfan couldn't sleep at night, thinking about her day and night. Now, seeing her again behind Di Yi, he realized that she was actually a member of the evil sect in the black market and had become one of the Seven Fiends Envoys. His heart was in turmoil.

A hint of surprise flashed in Murong Yue's eyes. She and Bu Qianfan were complete strangers. She had no idea that the man who had been chasing after her and frantically trying to please her was actually a Saint Seed from the Bu Sheng Clan.

Of course, if she found out, she would definitely try to get rid of Bu Qianfan.

Di Yi frowned slightly, noticing something was off between the two. He recalled that in the original timeline, Di Yi had used Murong Yue as a hostage to seize Bu Qianfan's weakness and defeat him with three sword strikes, thus becoming famous throughout the Eastern Region.

However, he no longer needs to rely on this so-called weakness, and Bu Qianfan could never be his opponent.

Seeing Bu Qianfan's absent-minded appearance, Di Yi's fighting spirit also dissipated. What's the point of fighting someone whose mind is in disarray and who has lost the will to fight?
However, today is his first battle to make a name for himself since becoming the young master, and he must bring a little shock to the martial artists of the Eastern Region.

With this in mind, he made a plan and said in a low voice, "Bu Qianfan, didn't you want to fight this young master? Why don't you make a move?"

With this shout, Di Yi used his mental power, and the sound exploded in Bu Qianfan's ears like thunder. He immediately woke up and hurriedly turned his gaze back to Di Yi, just in time to meet Di Yi's eyes.

But that one glance made Bu Qianfan freeze instantly, his pupils gradually becoming unfocused, his hand holding the knife slowly loosening, and pain and confusion appearing on his face.

The onlookers looked puzzled, wondering what had happened to Bu Qianfan.

"It's an illusion. Bu Qianfan has already fallen into the illusion cast by the young master. He has already lost before the battle even begins." Ye Hong's eyes lit up as she explained. This was the first time she had ever seen Di Yi use illusion techniques.

The Mind Realm also contains some illusion techniques, which Emperor Yi studied for many years and naturally achieved some success in this field.

If Bu Qianfan hadn't seen Murong Yue and his mind was at its peak, he might have been able to resist Di Yi's illusion techniques. But at this moment, he was instantly captivated, his mind filled with Murong Yue's image, and all sorts of illusory scenes flooded his brain.

A moment later, the battle sword in Bu Qianfan's hand fell to the ground, and he seemed to have lost all his strength, collapsing to his knees.

Only after Di Yi dispelled the illusion did he gradually come to his senses, his eyes still filled with confusion.

Looking around, he immediately understood what had happened and looked at Di Yi and Murong Yue.

"I lost."

He picked up his sword, turned around, and walked dejectedly towards the foot of the city wall.

"This is... a defeat?"

"What methods did this young master of the black market use? Bu Qianfan was defeated before he could even make a move."

Not only were the righteous martial artists stunned, but even the martial artists in the black market were speechless with shock.

But everyone knows that the future of the younger generation in the Eastern Region will be completely changed from this day forward.

Neither Di Yi nor the Seven Fiends behind him made a move to stop Bu Qianfan. The powerful members of the Bu Sheng Clan remained hidden in the shadows, ensuring that they would not threaten Bu Qianfan's life.

Xia Shaoyang, who was watching from a distance, was also dumbfounded by what he saw, muttering, "How did he do that?"

Standing beside him was a half-saint from the Xia family, who said in a deep voice, "Di Yi used some means to break through Bu Qianfan's defenses and make Bu Qianfan fall into the illusion he cast. This kid is valued by the Illusion Saint, and his mastery of illusion is also incredibly high. Even Ye Honglei may not be able to compare to him."

In Xia Shaoyang's heart, the insurmountable mountain of Di Yi became even more towering, pressing down on his chest and making it hard for him to breathe.

"Can I really catch up with him?"

He couldn't help but feel lost.

"Hmph! What, are you scared? Do you think that no matter how hard you try, you can't catch up with God One?" Xia Family Half-Saint said coldly.

Xia Shaoyang paused, his confusion dispelled, and his resolve returned.

"Don't worry, Elder. I'm not so easily defeated. If I want to catch up with God One, I must reach the Supreme Realm of the Earthly Realm. If one Supreme Realm isn't enough, then two will do."

Seeing this, the Xia family's half-saint nodded in satisfaction and said quietly, "The Dry Sea Saint has found a great opportunity for you. If you can obtain it, breaking through to the Supreme Extreme Realm of the Earthly Extreme Realm will be a piece of cake."

"The opportunity arranged for me by the Saint of the Dry Sea? What kind of opportunity is it, and where is it?" Xia Shaoyang asked anxiously upon hearing this.

"Eight hundred years ago, the Buddhist Path of the Western Regions revered the Buddha Emperor among the Nine Emperors. After Empress Chi Yao ascended the throne, she led the army of the First Central Empire to fight a great battle against the Buddha Emperor outside the Buddhist Path. In the end, the Buddha Emperor died, but the relics containing the Buddha Emperor's Buddhist teachings were swallowed by the golden dragon under his mount and refined into dragon relics."

"Jinlong was first seriously injured by Empress Chi Yao, and then chased all the way by the two war gods of the court. He fled from the Western Regions to the Eastern Regions and finally disappeared into the endless wilderness of the Eastern Regions."

"The Saint of the Dry Sea has received definite news that the Golden Dragon disappeared in a place called Heavenly Demon Ridge, and his remains were buried in a dangerous place within Heavenly Demon Ridge."

"If you can find the sacred corpse of the Golden Dragon, obtain the Dragon Relic, and reach the supreme realm of the Earthly Realm, it will not be difficult."

Xia Shaoyang's eyes gleamed, and an endless desire ignited in his heart.

“Buddha Emperor, Golden Dragon, such an opportunity should rightfully belong to me.”

"Elder, we shall set off for Tianmo Ridge immediately."
