Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 1003

Chapter 828 – Changing Fate

There were more and more black and gold runes. They spread out in all directions, soon flooding out all of the pure white light.

When it was finally completed, a heaven-shocking great array was formed. It could reverse yin and yang, life and death, and change the paths of celestial bodies.

Even the little blue lamp couldn’t help but feel at a loss when facing this great array formation, one that could subvert and change everything.

“As you see, I have wasted a precious opportunity on him. Whether it is death or survival, that will all depend on him.”

A faint and calm voice spread out in all directions from the pure white world. It rumbled like thunder, shaking the millions of black and gold runes.

Hum –

Hum –

The array formation started!

Deep in the endless sea, the terrifying vortex formed from sea water had vanished. Above the altar that was as large as a city, the phantom woven together from light reared back its head and roared at the skies.

A terrifying aura swept out in all directions. The giant sea beasts that lay prone at the edges of the altar shivered as blood gushed out from their noses and mouths. Some of them even fell over unconscious, their bodies twitching.

Even so, the giant sea beasts didn’t dare to make a single sound, nor did any of them think of running away.

Because the existence floating above the altar was the supreme authority of the endless sea. It was the master to which all sea beasts submitted themselves.

It was the Sea God!

Several formidable sea beasts with high intelligence knew that their master had been waiting for this chance for countless years.

But in the end it failed!

At this time, any existence that caught the master’s attention would be torn to pieces without hesitation. If they were to silently withstand the master’s anger instead, then perhaps they might survive.

But all of their thoughts and efforts were for nothing.

The phantom woven from light suddenly stopped roaring. It looked up somewhere above its head and the entire sea seemed to feel the violence emanating from its body. Everything fell into silence.

If one stood in the clouds and looked down, they would see that the most violent and strange region of the endless sea had suddenly become calm without warning. It was as if an invisible hand had wiped away at it, erasing every single wave.

The sea beasts around the altar all shivered. They suddenly felt the shroud of death covering their hearts and minds.

Hou –

The phantom above the altar suddenly roared. The smooth mirror-like surface of the sea instantly collapsed and shattered as if a vicious beast that had been sleeping for countless years had finally been awakened.

Bang –

Bang –

Bang –

The sea beasts that crawled along the edges of the altar all expanded like balloons. Then, each of them exploded, one after another. Their flesh and blood soared out, creating endless waves of blood that dyed the seabed red. The smell of blood flooded the senses.

But soon, these crushed pieces of meat and blood began to fly towards the center of the altar at an astonishing speed. They melded and combined together. An astonishing vitality erupted from them as the flesh wriggled and grew.

Rumble rumble –

The sea surface wildly tumbled, the waves surging to the skies!

Suddenly, a shadow appeared from the seabed. As it approached sea level it became increasingly clear.

Bang –

The waters broke apart. A colossal being drilled out from the seabed.

It took the form of a great cow and its figure was over 100,000 feet tall. It was covered in thick black scales. Three horns jutted out from its head, fiercely stabbing into the heavens.

Endless sea water rose up as it appeared from the sea, turning into black clouds that lifted it up.

Hou –

With a loud roar, its four hooves rapidly moved atop the black clouds as it raced towards Starfall Archipelago!

Qin Yu’s body floated within the black and gold array. Countless spots of light gathered around him, as if he were drifting through the endless space.

These spots of light drilled into his body but flew out in the next moment; they were simply unable to fuse with him.

After an unknown period of time, the calm and faint voice resounded once more. “Observe. It is not that I didn’t save him, but that he couldn’t achieve it.”

The little blue lamp said, “Give him some more time.”

“You should understand that even if I wait further, there is no chance for him. Why waste the last bits of time you have left?

“If you are willing, you may bury his corpse here. At some point in the future when I find the person I am waiting for, there is a chance he can be revived.”

The little blue lamp was silent for a moment. He shook his head and said, “Even if that day comes, the one who comes back to life won’t be him.” His eyes fell on Qin Yu’s body. “After knowing him for so many years, I understand his character well. If this is the result, he would rather die here.”

“I won’t force you. Lead him away.”

The little blue lamp flew over. The motes of light that gathered towards Qin Yu started to disperse. But at this time, a fluctuation came from his body.

Hum –

The little blue lamp stopped. It could sense a brief flicker where time had paused.

This was the power of time!

On the edge of death, the power of time that Qin Yu controlled was trying to recall his life.

Unfortunately, this power was far too weak. It could only cause time to pause for the briefest moment.

But the mysterious and fantastical part of the world was that any minor and inconspicuous detail could cause the ending to change. For instance, the power of time erupting from Qin Yu’s body.

Within the black and gold array formation, the scattered motes of light seemed to be wildly attracted by something. They crazily gathered over. The amount was dozens of times more than before, and they nearly submerged Qin Yu.

“The power of time!” The faint voice spoke up once more, but this time there was an additional complex emotion behind it that faded as quickly as it came. “For him to reach this boundary at such an age is unexpected. What a pity.”

It was a pity. Because it still wasn’t enough.

Even if time was used as a guide to affect the power of the array formation, a mortal fetus was still a mortal fetus. This weak bloodline and mortal body simply couldn’t contain its power.

The little blue lamp stared tightly at Qin Yu. He roared out in his heart, “Qin Yu, this is your final chance! Wake up! Hurry and wake up!”

A massive number of luminescent spots sunk into Qin Yu’s body and dispersed in the next moment. Perhaps because there was too much or perhaps because some change occurred in Qin Yu’s body, but at some unknown time, a mote of light that drilled into his body made a few turns and finally fused somewhere.

Within Qin Yu’s chest, the Ancient’s heart seemed to feel something. After pausing, it began to beat once more.

Thump –

Thump –

It contracted and expanded, pushing the flow of blood through Qin Yu’s body and forcing his own heart to beat once again.

Blood flowed through him faster and faster. There was a rustling sound, as if rivers and streams were surging inside him.

But if it was only this, Qin Yu’s mortal body might survive but his soul would still dissipate and his consciousness would also be annihilated. He would eventually turn into nothing but smoke in the air.

Even ants did everything they could to survive and eke out an existence, no matter how humble. This had nothing to do with consciousness or intelligence. Rather, it was a powerful instinct.

Strictly speaking, Qin Yu had already died. His mortal body had recovered and the reason was that the black and gold array formation had reversed the line that demarcated life and death. After experiencing life after death, his instinctual desire to live had been completely activated.

This desire represented the most intense will of a person. It was formidable enough to summon all of the strength within Qin Yu’s body that could be used.

Thus, as his two hearts wildly beat in his chest, a bloodline strength hidden deep in his body started to appear.

Many years ago, extremely likely at the moment that Qin Yu had been born, the bloodline he should have possessed had been ruthlessly extracted and peeled away.

But one’s bloodline and life came together. As long as he survived, the power of his bloodline wouldn’t fully fade away. It would simply fall into a dormant state.

After his bloodline was stripped away, Qin Yu’s talent was severely damaged and it should have been impossible for him to truly step onto the road of cultivation.

However, the existence of the little blue lamp had changed Qin Yu’s destiny.

As he stepped onto the road of cultivation and his cultivation grew increasingly strong, this in itself was a process in which his sleeping bloodline was slowly awakened.

And what was even more important was the Ancient’s heart that Qin Yu had fused with. Its existence became a turning point. Under the oppression of death, that bloodline power had finally recovered.

Even if it was only a tiny and weak portion, that clan’s bloodline was noble and glorious from birth. The moment it recovered, a phenomenon occurred. Golden light gushed out from the void. It was magnificent and dignified, wrapping around Qin Yu like a layer of golden liquid.

Golden traces appeared on the surface of his skin, rapidly spreading out to every corner of his body. The intangible will contained in his bloodline seemed to contend with Qin Yu’s Ancient body.

A noble and proud bloodline like itself would not allow one of its continuing members to be assimilated by another race. The two strengths wildly battled each other, each one trying to swallow the other party.

That clan’s bloodline was noble, but the Ancient race’s bloodline was similarly formidable. With the Ancient’s heart supporting it, the power of the recovered bloodline fell into a disadvantage.

A change occurred as these two formidable bloodlines fought against each other. A warm and bright light gushed out from within Qin Yu’s body. This strength came from the holy light granted by the Dao Monarch. In the past it had been suppressed by the Ancient race’s bloodline, but now it had a chance to release itself.
