I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 5 Emergence
"how to use?"

Holding the long feather in his hand, Li Jun suddenly recalled the ritual performed by the wooden figures he had seen in the previous scene.

They use this ritual to transform people into their own form, and both the ritual and the power have a source.

"This is a ritual for humans to borrow the power of demons."

Li Jun's memory was exceptionally clear. He held the green feather in his right hand and then covered his left arm with it, the base of which even pierced directly into his flesh.

He began chanting incantations in the ancient language of the Ximu tribe, which he had only recently learned.

At this moment.

Li Jun recalled the bluebird circling in the sky, the image of the ancient clan shaman chanting sacrificial incantations, and the Kunlun divine stone that fell from the sky.

All the causes have dictated the current outcome.

The green feather in his hand slowly merged into his left arm, just like a potion or blood merging into Li Jun's body.

Li Jun suddenly felt his heart pounding violently, as if a wild drum was being frantically beaten by an old shaman. At this moment, what had been transformed was no longer the pupils in his eyes.

Feathers began to grow on his body, and he gradually grew taller.

"Hey!"

"What are you doing?"

At this moment, the shop owner finally came out and immediately spoke to Li Jun.

Then he stopped and stood at the door of the inner room, wishing he could go back immediately.

In his eyes.

The figure in front of them suddenly grew taller and taller, and more and more feathers grew from its body. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into something that looked more like a bird than a human.

[In the Southern Classic of the Great Wilderness, there is a country of feathered people. Their inhabitants are all born with feathers and can fly, but cannot travel far.]

Ancient gods and extraordinary beings seem to have forms that are different from ordinary people.

It has a human head and a snake's body, a leopard's tail and tiger's teeth, a tiger's body and ten tails, etc.

"what!"

"A demon...a demon...a monster..."

No matter how powerful the posture was, it showed that it was different from ordinary people. The antique shop owner could not appreciate the wild beauty of this ancient wilderness and was so frightened that his soul almost came out of the top cover.

I leaned back and almost fell to the ground, but I managed to hold onto the door frame next to me to keep from sitting down.

At this moment, Li Jun was not paying much attention to the changes around him; his attention was focused on himself.

"Feathered people?"

"Such a thing really does exist in this world."

Li Jun walked outside step by step, and with each step he grew taller and taller, and with each step he became more and more accustomed to the changes in his body.

His body seemed to have become less like flesh and blood, with powerful energy constantly surging out from every corner, allowing him to shatter everything in front of him.

He felt as if he had gained the power to fly.

As he reached the door, Li Jun looked up at the sky.

He opened his arms and imagined the bluebird spreading its wings, and then his hands really turned into a pair of huge wings.

With a slight exertion.

A gust of wind swept up and blew in all directions.

Amidst the neon lights and countless city lights of the night, Li Jun moved with such speed that he left afterimages as he flew over skyscrapers, instantly soaring above the entire city.

He was already moving at top speed, but Li Jun still felt it wasn't enough.

"You can go even faster!"

A violent sound exploded from Li Jun's body. His acceleration created a sonic boom, a speed that was far beyond what the human body could withstand, yet he felt no problem at all.

The sound was loud enough to shatter Li Jun's eardrums, but at this moment he felt that the sound was nothing special. In this state, the sounds he could hear and accept were beyond the range of ordinary people.

When he came to his senses, Li Jun had already broken through the clouds.

A silver moon appeared overhead.

Above the sea of ​​clouds under the moonlit sky, Li Jun seemed to be standing on a cloud, looking at the moon in the sky.

It was as if if he flew any higher, he could catch the bright moon.

This is something no human could do, and this is a sight no human could ever see. Yet Li Jun, who had clearly accomplished it, stood frozen in place.

In the silence.

Li Jun suddenly remembered that he had important business to attend to when he flew up. He looked down at the city below, then transformed into a streak of light and fell.

As he fell, Li Jun's gaze swept across the area, as if he already knew the location of the group.

soon.

He had already spotted the group of people who had been following him like a persistent leech.

There were twelve people in total.

At this moment, these people had changed into another set of clothes and were heading towards the location of the antique shop with the blood-stained Taoist robe that Li Jun had thrown away halfway.

Even though Li Jun deliberately threw it in the trash can and closed the lid, they still found it easily.

Just as they crossed the fountain in the square, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky.

One of them reacted quickly, immediately raising his head and shouting towards the sky.

"Get out of the way!"

Just like their previous attacks on hospital wards, this scene has now been repeated on them.

However, this commotion was much greater and more powerful than the commotion they had caused before.

"Boom!"

The "thunder" crashed to the ground.

The water in the entire fountain pool suddenly gushed out and atomized, sending layers of bricks and sand flying in all directions, and even the ground sank deeply into the center.

A small portion of the square in the center was destroyed, and under the immense force, seven out of the twelve "people" were instantly wiped out.

The others also felt the ground collapse instantly, either falling to the ground unable to stand, or being thrown away by the powerful impact.

The small square was originally deserted, but the sudden commotion alerted people within a radius of several miles.

Many cars and people passing by stopped and looked in this direction.

One by one, figures ran out of the shops across the street, gazing at the square in the distance.

Lights flickered on in all the surrounding buildings, and countless eyes fell on the place still shrouded in smoke and dust.

"What's that sound? What's happening outside?"

"exploded?"

"Did the gas pipeline burst?"

"There seem to be other people in the square across the street."

After the sudden explosion, the square fell silent.

It seems that everything has calmed down.

However, another invisible storm also began to sweep in from here, and its impact exceeded everyone's expectations.

But at this moment, the first group of "people" caught in the storm retreated in fear from the billowing smoke and mist, and then gathered together.

Of the twelve "people," only five remain, two of whom have suffered limb injuries, and their tendrils are slowly regenerating like vines.

They were also terrified and seemed somewhat lost.

"who is it?"

"Could someone have launched a missile?"

"How is that possible? To bomb us with missiles in the city? Are they crazy?"

They thought they were ruthless enough, but now they've encountered something even more ruthless. The unexpected situation has terrified them, and they have no idea what they've run into.

Just like the members of the Changsheng Temple who were previously in the hospital building.

The remaining five "people" looked around nervously, seemingly trying to find the source of their attack from afar, or preparing for any further attacks.

But to their surprise, the attackers appeared from the most unexpected place.

They were standing together, guarding against the outside, when a commotion came from the large pit behind them. In their view, there was absolutely no way anyone could still be alive in the pit, but a person slowly walked out from the center of the pit.

Upon hearing the noise, someone immediately turned around: "There's someone inside!"

The others started moving too: "How is that possible? We're dead too."

The figure slowly walked out of the pit, and everyone saw it.

They had no choice but to accept it, though their faces looked extremely pale.

"There really is someone there."

Li Jun's figure gradually emerged from the mist.

After disengaging from flight, the degree of his mutation was at least not as severe, or rather, what he just experienced was not so simple for him.

When he was fully revealed to the public, Li Jun had returned to human form. His school uniform was tattered and worn, but his original appearance was still vaguely discernible.

Even so, his figure was still raised by at least 20 centimeters, and he still exuded a powerful sense of oppression when standing barefoot on the ground.

His skin was like jade, with translucent feather-like patterns spreading from the backs of his hands to his arms, from his bare calves up his neck to his forehead.

It looks like a humanoid mechanical armor painted with mysterious patterns, and it is filled with the ancient and barbaric witchcraft style.

One of them recognized Li Jun and paused for a moment.

"It's him."

Some people were more concerned about the changes brought about by Li Jun's physical transformation, and they trembled and immediately started cursing.

"Damn it, it's the Great Shaman!"

"How could something like this possibly appear at this time?"

These "wooden men" seemed to know their own limitations. Upon seeing Li Jun's appearance, they turned and began to flee, even splitting up to escape. However, Li Jun was faster.

He stomped his foot backward, and his bare foot actually created a large crater in the stone ground, causing the stone bricks to shatter into powder once again.

Then his shadow rushed out like the wind. He stretched out a hand, and his fingers extended green feathers, which, along with his arm, transformed into a long, sharp blade, instantly slicing the two fleeing wooden figures apart.

However, the two wooden men, even with their bodies cut open, still tried to escape.

One of the bodies, with only the upper half remaining, was still moving. The lower half stood up and tried to find its upper half, but as soon as the upper half rolled over and raised its head, it saw a foot falling towards it.

"Boom!"

Its head was crushed to pieces along with the ground, and its foot twisted violently on the ground.

Their weakness lies in the "core" inside their helmets. Once this core is destroyed, they become like puppets or machines, losing their core and unable to grow and regenerate as quickly as plants.

The other one tried to run away, but Li Jun shoved him away.

A green feather, more than a foot long, was flung out.

Its head was pinned to the ground, rendering it immobile, and its lower body, which had just been retrieved but not yet reattached, withered and collapsed.

The commotion caused by Li Jun's emergence was even greater.

Especially when he shattered the ground with his bare feet, moving so fast that only afterimages could be seen, and killed two monsters in a row.

The sounds from afar instantly erupted, almost like a raging storm.

"Damn, what are all these things?" Cars on the street came to a complete stop, and the people inside stared incredulously at the square.

"Ah!" Especially when Li Jun stomped on the wooden man's head and crushed it, many people across the street covered their eyes. The onlookers who witnessed this scene were deeply shocked, and the timid ones screamed.

"A superpowered person!" Some of the bolder ones had already taken out their phones and started filming videos, while others even started live streaming on the spot.

"Are you kidding me? This can't be acting!" Can acting produce facial expressions and special effects, or even superhuman strength?

"How can this be acted?" Some passing teenagers were excited and even shouted at Li Jun, while some adults felt terrified.

One side was able to run even after being killed and having their body cut in two, and even tried to reattach their body.

The other one was even more terrifying; its physique was like a human tank.

But at this moment.

Neither the pursuer nor the pursued had any interest in their surroundings, completely absorbed in the life-or-death struggle.

The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce and brutal, with both sides facing each other in a life-or-death struggle, which made the shock to passers-by all the more intense.

The remaining three woodcutters were even more terrified when they saw their two companions die instantly, and they immediately panicked.

Perhaps knowing that Li Jun was too fast and that they couldn't escape by simply running away, they stopped one by one, took out their guns, and pointed them at Li Jun.

"I can't run away."

"Stop him."

"Fire! Fire!"

Gunshots rang out, the sound instantly making one's blood boil.

Just hearing the sound makes you feel like there's danger lurking everywhere, and your adrenaline surges involuntarily, especially when you actually see it in person.

"They fired."

“These people also have guns.”

"real or fake?"

The moment the people around saw the gun, they became even more agitated. Some began to show fear and hide, while others moved even closer and held their phones up even higher.

Li Jun ran towards the gun barrel once more, the ground trembling slightly as bullets rained down on him, but he dodged them all with precision.

Soon, Li Jun caught up with the first one.

He ran diagonally in an arc, and in the blink of an eye, he was close to the "person." The closer Li Jun got, the deeper the fear appeared on the other person's face.

"Die!"

"Die...kill him..."

He fired wildly, but Li Jun got close and kicked him, shattering his outstretched arm and body together.

Then, before his severed limbs had even completely hit the ground, he stomped on his head and chased after the second one.

The second "person" turned around and saw this scene, letting out a scream.

Before the shout had even faded, Li Jun was already close to him in an instant.

Li Jun grabbed one of his arms, lifted him up, and hurled him at the third "person." This person fell from the sky and slammed the frantically fleeing third person to the ground. The two rolled together like wheels.

Li Jun leaped up and stepped on the head of the second "person," then walked step by step toward the third "person."

The man was lying on the ground, too frightened to move. Li Jun, looking down at him, saw that the man's teeth were clenched tightly, but his lips were trembling.

Li Jun grabbed his hair and lifted him up.

At this moment.

Only then did the audience in the distance fully observe the height of Li Jun's body after its transformation. The wooden figure, which was not short, looked like a dwarf when held in Qi's hands.

Under the streetlights at night, his tall figure and the way he grabbed the undead monster and held it in his hand were deeply etched in everyone's minds.

Li Jun did not kill the last wooden man; he wanted to get some information from him.

then.

Li Jun grabbed his head and ripped it off his neck.

"Shh!"

Dark green blood splattered everywhere, landing on the streetlight, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Many people who witnessed this scene were so frightened that they fainted.
-
the other side.

in the carriage.

The bespectacled man was looking at a series of monitors in the car, mobilizing all available resources to search for Li Jun and Mu Ke's whereabouts.

"What a ghost!"

"That thing is immortal and can change its form, which is one thing, but how come we can't find Li Jun at all?"

"Could it have already been killed and stuffed into some trash can?"

The bespectacled man tried everything, and suddenly noticed something.

He moved closer to the monitor: "Look at this student!"

The staff member in front of the keyboard: "What's wrong?"

The bespectacled man's eyes were sharp: "Although he deliberately avoided the camera and we can't see his face, did you see his shoes?"

Staff: "Cloth shoes?"

Nowadays, very few people wear cloth shoes, especially in this metropolis.

The bespectacled man clearly remembered that the remains of all the members of the Changsheng Temple's outer circle that he had just discovered were not only wearing Taoist robes, but also cloth shoes.

"it's him!"

"Li Jun!"

The bespectacled man was extremely excited, but also incredibly anxious and even panicked.

He understood the immense disaster that could be caused if these dozen or so inhuman monsters acted with impunity, and that he had to find a way to control or eliminate them immediately.

He finally found a clue, and he immediately told the driver to drive to the destination while mobilizing more people to search the area.

However, as soon as he approached the target location, he no longer needed to search; the commotion coming from afar had already attracted everyone's attention.

Li Jun and the shadows of those attackers have appeared online, even on live streams.

When the bespectacled man arrived, he saw Li Jun chasing down the last three attackers and a large crowd of onlookers holding up their phones.

He felt like his head was about to explode and didn't know how to deal with what was about to happen.

However, at this very moment, the battle between "superpowered individuals" that is taking place in front of us is not yet over.

He rolled down the car window.

Inside the car, I could only watch helplessly as the figure in the tattered school uniform shattered the paving stones, dodging a hail of bullets, and killing one undead monster after another.

Finally, in front of everyone, he ripped the head off the last undead monster as easily as pulling up a scallion.

"what!"

He heard sharp screams from the crowd around him, and this bloody scene directly led to the shutdown of a large number of live streams.

But this is not the end of the story.

Li Jun seemed to have discovered something. While holding the monster's head, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at the man with glasses.

Those faintly glowing double pupils were deeply imprinted in his heart, sending chills down his spine.

Li Jun said nothing, picked up the monster's head, and transformed into a shadow, soaring into the sky.

The bespectacled man immediately opened the car door and chased after them to the square.

He raised his head.

Watching that shadow soar into the clouds, I felt a chill run down my spine.

He gripped his hair tightly, then took a deep breath and pulled it all back, not even noticing his glasses fall to the ground.

"Hold!"

"He can fly?"

prior to.

Someone told him that the age of mythology might begin again.

Although he believed in some of it, as a modern person, he always felt deep down that those gods, immortals, demons, and ghosts were somewhat illusory and unreal.

And now, that superhuman power, something that could only exist in myths and legends, has actually appeared before him.

He has to face it.
