Chapter 1446B – Splitting The Sky
Rule of Time!
Qin Yu had mastered this rule by chance despite having such a short time to comprehend it.
However, he used this rule very minimally because there was a large price to pay for it and there was a limit to its abilities.
In other words, it was of little value to him!
As much as possible, Qin Yu did not use it.
This was the first time that Qin Yu had witnessed how powerful the Time Rule was.
Time slowed down substantially in that small radius of s.p.a.ce and it felt like he was in a different world than his opponent.
If he could use this to kill his opponent, was there going to be anything wrong?
The mysterious being in time and s.p.a.ce, referred to as ‘that being’, could use mysterious and terrifying techniques that scared everyone.
That being easily manipulated the Time Rule and altered the flow of time in a tiny s.p.a.ce. Qin Yu had surprised it at this point. That being had not expected that Qin Yu would dare to be make such a risky move at a critical moment.
That being paused for a few seconds before he said, “If you encounter other mysterious beings in the future, don’t approach them with this att.i.tude. You may die.”
Taking in a deep breath, he turned towards the palace. There was a hint of hesitation and fear in those vicious eyes within the rotten pile of flesh. Evidently, the Darkness Ruler had noticed something strange with Qin Yu.
“I will help you this time. Take this as me occasionally extending my kindness to you. I actually like you.” With that, a hand wriggled out of the s.p.a.ce. Each finger was so white and slender that they looked like they were made out of pure ivory. There was a light glow around that being’s fingers and anyone who looked at them would be in admiration.
Its hand was so beautiful that it did not seem to belong to a human of this world. There wasn’t any burning smell around it as it touched the palace lightly.
Really, it happened so casually. With a touch that seemed careless, everything ended.
All the emotions in the Darkness Ruler’s eyes in the ma.s.sive mountain of rotten flesh – anger, hatred, excitement, fear, and suspicion – disappeared instantly. The eyes turned grey, a reflection of the emptiness within.
As the finger touched the palace, all consciousness from the Darkness Ruler was erased clean like a pencil mark on a blank sheet. There was no trace of his consciousness left.
Boom!
Without any consciousness left, the Darkness Ruler could not control his body. The large pile of flesh in the palace shook as it crumbled apart.
The mountain of flesh split into numerous desperate pieces that struggled to maintain their structure. Large mouths opened on each of the flesh pieces and they wailed with despair before they were torn away.
Everything seemed to happen in slo-mo, but the entire process was completed in a very short period of time. Soon, a blanket of silence filled the palace.
A pile of flesh slumped on the ground. Occasionally, there would be a knee-jerk reaction from a piece of flesh. It s.h.i.+fted slightly as m.u.f.fled sounds of ‘poof’ and ‘splish’ came from it.
This was a terrifying scene and Qin Yu was in admiration as he witnessed what happened. He could not help feeling fearful.
This fear came partially from the dead Darkness Ruler but a larger part of it came from his fear of the mysterious being.
Having lost control of himself, it was probable that the Darkness Ruler was not fully conscious. However, his powers were definitely close to the rank of a Ruler.
Such a strong Darkness Ruler had been murdered by the light touch of a finger.
It would be a lie to say that he was not scared!
The beautiful finger was gone and a pair of eyes turned towards Qin Yu. The eyes curved into a smile as that being said, “I told you that I will help you with anything as long as you ask me. If I wasn’t capable, why would I have made that promise? You must have thought that I was bragging.”
Qin Yu’s face twitched; he naturally would not admit it. Instead, he bowed, “Thank you for volunteering to help me today. I will remember this favor and I will repay it to you in the future when there is a chance.”
He was very serious when he said this. Although he was panicking, he wore a solemn but grateful expression on his face.
Through this, Qin Yu confirmed that the mysterious being was truly omnipotent. It had helped Qin Yu out today and Qin Yu had to give a clear answer…thinking about it, Qin Yu felt that he was very bold.
He could not give a vague reply as the mysterious being in time and s.p.a.ce had helped him to kill an opponent that was almost as strong as a Ruler. What kind of price would he have to pay for this?
Obviously, Qin Yu could not afford to repay that being.
Since he could not give an upfront payment, he could only give the mysterious being a promise. This was the sole choice he had!
A flash of light pa.s.sed through the mysterious being’s eyes and he said, “I told you that I will help you occasionally out of pure good will. You don’t have to bring this up again. Why didn’t you take my advice? Qin Yu, you really have to change your att.i.tude in the future. Not every mysterious being is as kind as me.
“There is no loot this time, but I expended a lot of my energy. What a pity…I will have to find somewhere else to make up for it. Bye.”
With that, the beautiful eyes disappeared.
Phew –
Qin Yu sighed in relief. However, he sucked in his breath in the next instant as the mysterious being materialized again. It stared at Qin Yu directly.
“Oh…your powers are very mysterious and it makes me nervous. Please forgive me for losing my composure…”
It lightly said, “I have seen the outcome of the backlash of the Great Dao so I have to give you another reminder…the Great Dao needs to be carefully taken care of.”
That being glanced at Qin Yu before he disappeared again.
Was it really gone?
This time, Qin Yu patiently waited for a while to confirm that the mysterious being was gone. Finally, he raised his hand and ma.s.saged his stiffened face.
At the same time, he started to recall the conversation with the mysterious being.
Oh, it seemed to be hinting at something here…Qin Yu frowned and his fingers suddenly froze.
Was it trying to give Qin Yu a reminder?
Take care of his Great Dao…honestly, Qin Yu got nothing much out of this.
Additionally, the East Sea Sword was extremely fierce with its strikes. Qin Yu gauged that even a Ruler would have to avoid the sword if he swung it down. However, Qin Yu had to sacrifice his Great Dao to use this sword.
His Great Dao was already shattered, so why bother taking care of it? Furthermore, it was obvious that Qin Yu’s Great Dao had shattered multiple times already. If he continued with this pathway, he would probably shatter his Great Dao a dozen more times.
What would happen to his Great Dao if he continued like this?
He glanced back at the palace where all that was left of the Darkness Ruler was a pile of rotten meat. Qin Yu’s heart clenched and gooseb.u.mps formed on his back.
Pst –
He had to be careful. He did not want to end up like this one day too. In the end, he decided to ask elder apprentice brother for help regarding the backlash of the Great Dao when he returned to the Peach Garden.
As a cultivator who became a True Saint from the sh.o.r.e the proper way, he should be more familiar with the subject matter. Otherwise, Qin Yu could also head to the East Sea to meet that old Dragon Saint and have a good conversation with him. He had to pay better attention to his Great Dao!
Qin Yu sighed and compressed his feelings. A serious look crossed his eyes as he stared in the direction that the mysterious being left in.
Its actions were very strange and Qin Yu could not understand it. The mysterious being had pointed out hidden dangers for Qin Yu and even helped him for free…however, this world was never too kind.
Qin Yu’s intuition told him that he would have many more interactions with the mysterious being in the future and he hoped that he would be able to figure out the reasons for the mysterious being’s actions.
Otherwise, he would feel very uneasy.
Holding back his disgust, Qin Yu stepped into the palace and started to carefully look through the pile…he did not forget about his original intentions of killing the Darkness Ruler. Furthermore, he did not know if Eye of Eternal Night survived from the crown.
