Chapter 584B – The Good Fortune Already Has a Master
With a roar of hatred, the black flow of water condensed into the form of the Water Marid. He stubbornly glared at Qin Yu. If looks could kill, Qin Yu would already have been shredded into pieces.
“Leave here.” Qin Yu slowly said. Besides his complexion being a little more pale than before, his aura hadn’t weakened by much.
When that golden sword slashed down, what it killed was the soul, implicating the body outside in the process.
Thus, regardless of how many times that cultivator from before would have regenerated his mortal body, his soul had already been cut in half and he was destined to die.
Of course, Qin Yu had paid a steep price to resist this attack. Within his soul s.p.a.ce, a deep sword mark had appeared on the surface of the Cosmic Seacross Bell and Meimei had fallen into a deep sleep.
The purple moon had dimmed down and become even smaller. All that remained was a faint crescent.
Xu Wenze’s lips moved but in the end he didn’t say anything. He nodded in grat.i.tude and crushed the key in his hands.
Kacha –
A gray flow of energy wrapped around his body. It turned into sparkling stars, and then disappeared along with him.
“No!”
The Water Marid screeched out, its eyes gone mad.
This was already its final chance to survive…it originally thought that Qin Yu’s goal had also been to compete for this key.
As long as Qin Yu attacked, the Water Marid would also have another chance, thus it had been quietly gathering its strength.
But who knew that Qin Yu would actually choose to let Xu Wenze leave like this?
This b.a.s.t.a.r.d, wasn’t he afraid of death? Even if he wasn’t scared of death, did he have to drag down others into the grave with him?
It was over, it was all over now…
It was all because of this b.a.s.t.a.r.d in front of it. If it hadn’t been tricked, it would have seized that Pure Yin Body as well as that formidable G.o.dhead.
How could it have fallen into such a situation?
“I’ll kill you!”
The Water Marid cried out loud. But just as it moved, its body fiercely stiffened. A golden line appeared between its eyebrows, slowly extending downwards until its body was split in two.
Bang –
The Water Marid blew apart. It turned into a ma.s.s of black water that was swallowed up by the black vortexes caused by the collapsed s.p.a.ce all around.
Zhan Lingtian held a golden sword in hand as he stepped forward in the void. His voice was deep and dignified, “Only I can be your opponent.”
He lifted a hand and pointed the sword. “Make your move. My strongest enemy, let me take a good look at your true strength.”
He had already lost more than half of his source. He no longer entertained any dreams that he would survive this.
Since he was going to die, then before he did he would have a glorious battle.
Qin Yu’s expression was calm. He was just this kind of person. When the situation was so bad it couldn’t become any worse, he was the type to become disturbingly calm instead.
He was the strongest enemy?
He had no idea how Zhan Lingtian came to this conclusion, but none of this mattered.
Then, let’s fight!
Within his mind, the ancient demon reared back its head and roared. With this, Qin Yu was like a ma.s.sive stone cras.h.i.+ng into a still lake.
In an instant, all of the tranquility was crushed away. A wild flood of strength raged outwards, rumbling like a tide.
The disintegrated world now thoroughly transformed into chaos. It submerged Qin Yu’s figure, turning into an incomparably ma.s.sive vortex.
Then, the vortex began to spin. A terrifying swallowing strength erupted from within.
Endless heaven and earth spiritual energy gathered, so much that it was like numerous rivers were rus.h.i.+ng within.
Roar –
A loud roar spread out from the vortex. A bleak and boundless aura instantly flooded the world, bringing with it the atmosphere of ancient times.
Then, that gathered heaven and earth spiritual energy became faster and richer, like a thick primordial soup!
Zhan Lingtian grasped his golden sword in hand. His eyes brightened until they s.h.i.+ned like stars.
He stared tightly at the vortex, the fighting spirit in his chest growing hotter. The little bits of remnant source were now completely burned away.
Hum –
The golden sword shook and cried, resembling both a cheerful and sorrowful song. The aura it released was even more fearsome.
…
Outside the pool of soup, everything was deathly silent.
When Zhan Lingtian’s sword had killed multiple people, everyone was shocked besides Emperor Zhou.
If he weren’t sufficiently formidable to begin with, even if he did burn away his source he still wouldn’t possess such a terrifying strength.
Calamity Immortal realm…Zhan Lingtian’s strength had reached at least the Calamity Immortal level.
To have such a cultivation at such a young age, even with their judgment, this was more than startling.
But even such a startling young expert was regarded as a chess piece and tossed away without hesitation.
Emperor Zhou’s methods were indeed bewildering. Moreover, if this young man was able to stand behind Emperor Zhou, then that meant there was a high probability he was a direct bloodline descendant.
Then this was then just a great show of ability. Everyone couldn’t help but admire the ruthlessness and callousness of this move.
Still, Emperor Zhou hadn’t hesitated in paying the price for this arrangement and yet he hadn’t achieved the results he had hoped for. This really was unexpected. These old monsters who should have died but weren’t dead looked towards the decayed corpse on a distant mountain peak. They sighed inwardly. The person he had chosen might win.
They didn’t dare to take advantage of Emperor Zhou. But, this was different if it was someone else. That fellow Cangwu might be hard to deal with, but he could give up on any ideas of eating up that good fortune alone!
As for the people that died in the virtual world, they didn’t care about them at all. After deeply slumbering for tens of millions of years, the only person that cared about sentiment here might be Xu Jian alone.
“Big brother!”
Lin Weiwei’s face paled. She wanted to rush over.
With his source having been burnt through, Zhan Lingtian would die. She naturally knew how fierce this skill was.
Emperor Zhou flicked his sleeves. Her body softened and she fell unconscious before being wrapped up in an invisible strength.
Emperor Zhou disregarded the looks around him. He looked into the virtual world at the young man holding a golden sword, his eyes faint.
...
The spinning vortex was like a genuine monster. It swallowed an unfathomable amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy, its size expanding to 10,000 feet.
It was like a channel leading to the nine nether h.e.l.ls. Just by looking at it, one felt a deep sense of fear rise in their hearts.
Suddenly, this giant vortex stopped spinning. Then, it violently exploded, erupting with a horrifying level of energy.
Zhan Lingtian took a step forward. He lifted his golden sword in hand, placing it in front of him.
The flood of energy crashed into him and split in half. He was like a divine pillar that supported the seas, not shaking even the slightest bit.
In contrast, what was even more shocking was that this virtual world violently trembled after being struck by this impact of energy.
Down below, the mountains and rivers broke apart. Even the skies became torn and tattered like a bowl of boiling murky water.
A towering figure appeared in this collapsed world. It was 10,000 feet tall and every inch of its flesh and blood emitted a strength that shook the soul. There were two horns on its head that thrust towards the heavens. They were stubborn and unyielding, capable of breaking through all barriers.
The heavens might cause it to lower its head, but it would never bend down to the earth.
When it was born it supported the heavens and earth, and when it died it wouldn’t fall down – this was the ancient demon!
…
Emperor Zhou’s faint eyes suddenly sparkled. He finally understood why an ant-like junior had the qualifications to absorb the aura that should be his.
Ancient demon…
So that’s how it was!
Emperor Zhou’s lips curved up in a smile. Originally, he only had 50% confidence he would succeed, but now that an ancient demon appeared, even if it wasn’t a true body, his chances of success had increased by another 30%
The decayed corpse had been paying attention to Emperor Zhou this entire time. When he noticed Emperor Zhou’s happy smile, he stiffened.
Emperor Zhou was someone who had waged war for his entire life, slaughtering trillions upon trillions of people, finally ruling over the entire world and establis.h.i.+ng the Great Zhou Empire.
Such a character didn’t even conceal himself and revealed such joy. Just what was he thinking about?
The decayed corpse’s heart chilled. He suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something important.
However, no matter how he tried to remember it, there was only fog in his mind. He couldn’t remember anything at all.
What was it? Exactly what was it?
…
Within the virtual world, the strongest battle had erupted. The golden sword-wielding Zhan Lingtian was facing off against Qin Yu, who had become the incarnation of an ancient demon. Both possessed mind-boggling degrees of strength.
If it weren’t for the fact that Emperor Zhou had condensed this virtual world and it contained his undying will, then it likely would have been destroyed in the battle already.
Two juniors were unexpectedly capable of erupting with such an astonis.h.i.+ng strength. Even for these existences that had slumbered for tens of millions of years, this was still something startling.
When the virtual world became unsteady, it released its aura outside. The calm pool of soup began to stir up.
Crimson lava tumbled about like boiling water. It was as if some terrifying existence was slowly awakening from its deep slumber.
…
Ying Capital, Great Chu Emperor’s Palace.
The Chu Emperor had a dignified expression. There was a rare look of excitement in his eyes.
He had already felt the restlessness coming from the depths of the Sea of Purgatory. The most crucial time was about to arrive.
As he thought about the people who were now gathered in the depths of the Sea of Purgatory and were all competing against each other, his lips lifted up in a taunting curve.
Yes, the world’s greatest good fortune did exist there. The Chu Empire had been founded 30 million years ago and had gone through several generations of emperors. How could they possibly not know of this?
Did none of them ever wonder why the Chu Empire never coveted this good fortune even though they controlled Ying Capital’s great array formation and were so blessed?
The Chu Emperor suddenly said, “The reason is simple. It is because this growing good fortune already had a master a long, long time ago!”
This could be called the most secretive matter in the world. When the Great Zhou Empire collapsed and the world fell into chaos, it was the Mi Clan who had discovered this secret. After that, they established Ying Capital around here, thus leading to the magnificence of the Chu Empire.
To dare touch ‘his’ thing, if this wasn’t asking for death, what was?
