Chapter 718: The Demon Emperor Vs The Sword Master
Donghuang Taiyi?
What the hell!
Qin Jun’s eyes widened in astonishment. How had this big shot appeared here?

Taiyi was the earliest Heavenly Emperor worshipped in ancient Huaxia, recorded in countless texts like the Huainanzi, Historical Records, Book of Rites, Zhuangzi, and so on.
In "Songs of Chu: Nine Songs," there is a Chapter titled "Donghuang Taiyi" that reads, "Taiyi, a star’s name, a supreme deity of heaven, whose verse is in the east of Chu, paired with the Eastern Emperor, hence called Donghuang."
In various versions of mythology as well as in the myths of Primordial Chaos that came later, Donghuang Taiyi stood at the pinnacle of the path of Emperors Di.
Based on Qin Jun’s understanding of the system, the Donghuang Taiyi summoned by the system surely came from the Primordial Chaos system.
In the Primordial Chaos system, Donghuang Taiyi was a Demon Emperor, brother to the Demon Emperor Di Jun. Both were born on the sun and belonged to the Three-legged Golden Crows.

In short, Donghuang Taiyi was the uncle of the Sixth Golden Crow, the former master of Bai Ze, the mortal enemy of Hou Yi and Kua Fu...
