Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1446A – Splitting the Sky

Dark energy rushed out of the gates of the palace and formed a hand that targeted Qin Yu.

As expected, the first thing that it wanted to do was to kill him to vent its anger. This could probably be considered the first enemy in front of it.

There was no movement from Eye of Eternal Night and Qin Yu did not know if he was suffering from the backlash of the Great Dao or if he was waiting for an opportunity.

Either way, Qin Yu could only rely on himself.

With a soft sigh, he silently praised himself for being prepared. Otherwise, he would be in a panic now.

Qin Yu stepped out and clutched his fingers forward. The soft hum of a sword came from deep within his chest and Qin Yu was unsure whether he was hearing an excited cry from it.

Carefully thinking about the East Sea Sword, he realized that it had been hidden in the depths of the sea for numerous years. Finally, it had the chance to showcase its brilliant sword strikes to the world. It would naturally be excited.

Qin Yu could understand all of this.

However, the sword strike came at the expense of sacrificing the Great Dao that Qin Yu had just refined. A bitter feeling filled his mouth as the Great Dao cracked apart into pieces.

In this world, there was probably no one else aside from him who could still remain alive after their Great Dao shattered into pieces.

But this…the feeling of uneasiness was strong. It was not something that he could be proud of.

At most, this ability could be considered a scam of death.

Slap!

His five fingers clenched tight. Despite the bitterness in his heart, Qin Yu did not hesitate to attack. If he had paused, he would be devoured by the darkness.

There was no need to experience that process to know how awful it felt.

As mentioned previously, every time Qin Yu’s Great Dao was rebuilt after being shattered, its powers would be raised.

This also meant that the power unleashed from the sacrifice of his Great Dao would be even stronger each time. Naturally, the sword strike from the East Sea Sword would be even more powerful.

At this point, it was worth mentioning that the limit of the East Sea Sword did not stop here. Qin Yu’s strength was not enough to unleash the full potential of the East Sea Sword and the sacrifice of the Great Dao only mobilized a portion of the East Sea Sword’s power.

Looking at things from this angle, Qin Yu was weak.

Qin Yu raised his sword as the Great Dao in his body crumbled apart and gathered into the sword.

Wild, destructive energy boomed from the sword in that instant and smashed apart the darkness that came from the palace gates. The energy was relentless in its pursuit of the hateful pair of eyes.

True Saints who had reached the shore were top powers in the world but they were still a far cry from Rulers. Nonetheless, a suicidal blow was not easily taken on. Furthermore, with the East Sea Sword enhancing its power, the sword strike was unbelievably strong. The more it ate, the stronger it became.

Boom!

A deafening explosion shook deep within the palace. Flesh and blood scattered messily around the area as numerous cuts ripped the Darkness Ruler’s body apart. By this point, the Darkness Ruler had virtually lost control of himself as his body was sliced into eight hundred pieces.

However, this blow did not threaten his life. Once the glow of the sword strike disappeared, the hateful eyes appeared again.

Although they were far dimmer than before, indicating their weakening, the icy cold hatred did not lessen.

Qin Yu sighed to himself. As he expected, with his current strength, it was easy to kill a True Saint but he was still a distance away from matching up to the level of a Ruler.

The sword strike with the sacrifice of his Great Dao was his strongest attack. However, it could only defend against attacks from the Darkness Ruler or give him a slight injury. Since he still could not kill the Darkness Ruler, the only result he got was more hostility and viciousness from his opponent.

Roar!

The fountain of blood and flesh spat out numerous pieces of rotten flesh that had mouths on the surface of them.

The mouths were wide open as they made ear-piercing screams. It felt like countless, sharp wooden splinters were ruthlessly pierced into his soul. The pain drove him crazy as it invoked the darkest thoughts hidden in the depths of hearts.

After the crumbling apart of his Great Dao, Qin Yu was in a weakened state. He gasped as blood flowed out of his mouth and nose and his face contorted with pain.

Darkness rushed out again. This time it wasn’t a large palm but a cold, slippery tentacle that shot towards him.

Although the tentacle flew quickly, it was far from Qin Yu. Under normal circumstances, this would be enough time for Qin Yu to react.

However, the tentacle in the palace suddenly shook with a buzzing sound before disappearing into thin air. When it appeared again, it was wrapped around Qin Yu.

When the tentacle touched him, there was a sizzling sound as his blood and flesh was corroded away. The tentacle etched into his flesh and instantly pulled Qin Yu into the palace.

A flash of excitement passed through the hateful eyes between the rotten flesh. Although the Darkness Ruler was conscious, he was affected by the backlash of the Great Dao and there was only one thought in his mind right now. He was going to kill Qin Yu in the most cruel and painful way!

This urgent desire to kill Qin Yu also stemmed from the need to save himself. Only after he killed Qin Yu could he calm the anger and rage in him. This was how he could remain conscious to pull through the backlash of the Great Dao.

Qin Yu was about to die. Since he was captured, there was hardly a chance for him to escape now.

A helpless look crossed Qin Yu’s face as he sighed lightly. The means of a powerful enemy that was close to the rank of a Ruler were complicated. Even if he was in a perfect condition, it would be hard for him to escape the grasp of the tentacle.

He absolutely refused to be pulled over and devoured by the massive mountain of rotten flesh.

Just thinking about it made him nauseous and he shrunk inwards at the thought!

He was in a desperate situation after he tried to take his opponent on alone and he had no choice but to call for help. However, he hesitated before deciding whether to summon the Ruler or the being with the silent but beautiful eyes.

Qin Yu made his decision in the next instant. He would follow his origins.

With a mental thought, the Sun Moon Illusion appeared above his head. It appeared very quickly because he had already prepared it.

He only needed a split second to summon her. As for whether that woman would reply…alright, unless she found someone else more suitable to complete the West Desolate mission for her, she probably would not let him die under her watch.

Pst pst –

There were two breaths that sounded like a large, overflowing balloon that was about to burst open. Qin Yu’s heart clenched.

That woman…she just…rejected him…without any hesitation.

No way, how could she be so resolute to reject him without any hesitation? However, Qin Yu soon realized that it was not the Ruler who shattered the Sun Moon Illusion.

There was a soft sigh beside his ear that sounded like disappointment and confusion, “Qin Yu, why are you like that? You can just ask me for help. As long as you gave the instructions, nothing like this would have happened.

“In the end…you are determined to pierce through the heavens. This habit of yours is not right. You have to change it or you will suffer in the near future!”

Qin Yu’s first thought was that he was about to be devoured pitifully by the rotten flesh. Where would he get the time to talk nonsense with this being?

Furthermore, what did he mean by piercing through the heavens? He constructed the Sun Moon Illusion to summon the Ruler. Why was the being able to destroy it?

Of course, all of these were not important.

“Mysterious being in time and space, you stopped my call for help and threw me into a dangerous situation. You have to take responsibility for this!”

Qin Yu cried desperately. The dark tentacles tightened around his body and the corroding flesh caused extreme pain. However, the speed at which it pulled Qin Yu in was slowing down.

Hm, it had not slowed down. Instead, the time around Qin Yu seemed to have been altered. Time had slowed down significantly around him!
