Violent killing intent eroded Qin Yu’s mind and his willpower collapsed. Submerged in the darkness, all that remained was slaughter and destruction.
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
He would send everything in front of him to hell. As they howled in endless sorrow, they would taste all the pains of the world.
The backlash of darkness had already started!
Once Qin Yu was completely assimilated, there would be no more chance to wake up. He would be a killing puppet controlled by the will of darkness, forever lost in the abyss.
As his killing intent grew stronger and stronger and he was almost lost, an ice cold aura was suddenly released in his mind.
If there was a choice, Old Turtle would definitely be glad to see Qin Yu play himself to death. Then his freedom would be restored.
But this was the vast brightness world. As a shadow of the abyss, he was snow on the dirt. There would be nowhere for him to hide.
So Qin Yu couldn’t die, at least not now.
“Master, wake up! Master!”
Ripples appeared in Qin Yu’s pitch black eyes. The dark energy that flooded the world stagnated.
Qin Yu took a deep breath and the darkness in his eyes gradually faded away. The first thing he saw were the pale white and fear-filled faces of the Immortal Sect cultivators on the celestial mountain.
That’s right, at this moment they truly felt fear.
A moment ago, the Immortal Sect people had personally experienced the terror of Qin Yu after he had assimilated into the darkness. Even someone as powerful as Immortal Origin had only been able to barely resist the attack and he had been ruthlessly beaten up.
Hating Qin Yu was a must, but fear now dominated their minds. The Immortal Sect cultivators no longer demanded he be slain so that they could avenge the dead.
To live…was already their greatest hope.
Immortal Origin’s phantom had thinned. He was like a faint plume of smoke, one that could be blown away with a breath.
Now, Qin Yu had finally stopped. Even though he bitterly smiled, he let out a long breath.
Immortal Origin had spoken truthfully. What he left behind in this world was just a projection.
But a projection that could separate from the main body, span worlds, and live somewhere for a long time, certainly wasn’t a simple projection.
Moreover, this world was where his Dao orthodoxy had been inherited…if his projection was destroyed, his orthodoxy would also dissipate.
To an immortal cultivator, their Dao orthodoxy being destroyed was more uncomfortable than being killed. If possible, he wouldn’t want to give up on it.
“For you to wake up in time and avoid being taken over by the darkness, that is worth celebrating.” Immortal Origin cupped his hands together and squeezed out a smile. “I wonder if you can think calmly right now.”
Qin Yu opened his mouth and spoke, his voice hoarse and grating, “Who ordered you?”
Immortal Origin bitterly smiled. “I made a vow back then that I wouldn’t reveal anything. I ask for your understanding.”
Qin Yu looked at him, his black eyes flashing with light. “Fine. Then I will ask another question. Who was your target?”
Immortal Origin was silent for a moment. Then he said, “My mission was to capture two women from the Demonic Path’s small world, You Qi and Ning Ling. If I couldn’t capture both of them, taking hold of either one of them could be considered as having completed the mission.”
Qin Yu’s heart sank. His voice turned colder, “You said that catching either one of them was fine?”
“Yes.”
Qin Yu said, “Ning Ling…how did she vanish? Tell me everything you know.”
Immortal Origin hesitated even longer.
Qin Yu coldly snorted. “Is my current calmness making your forget everything you experienced just before?”
Immortal Origin took a deep breath, “In the past when I captured Ning Ling, she was in a comatose state. Just as I was about to carry out my mission and send her out of this world, she vanished without a single sign or fluctuation of strength.”
After a pause, he suddenly waved his hand and the space in front of him was isolated from the outside. His tone deepened as he said, “I have no idea whether you know this, but there is a transcendently high cultivation art in the world called the Path of 10,000 Souls. This technique allows one to split their soul into 10,000 fragments and scatter them through 10,000 worlds, allowing those soul fragments to constantly grow. When all the individual soul fragments are gathered together and fused as one, that will allow one to leap upwards and cross their cultivation limit with just one bound.
“By fate, I happened to meet a cultivator who practiced the Path of 10,000 Souls, and thus I have some understanding of this…when Ning Ling vanished, the feeling I had was the same as when a soul fragment from the Path of 10,000 Souls is taken back.”
Bang –
The surrounding space shattered and his body gently shivered. His pupils surged with darkness, like wild waves in a raging sea.
Blood vessels appeared on the surface of his eyes. They spread out like a bloodstained spider web.
Old Turtle shivered and screamed, “Master, stand firm, you must stand firm! Don’t be dragged into the darkness again otherwise I won’t have the ability to wake you up!”
Old Turtle approximately realized what the situation was. He couldn’t figure out why Qin Yu was being stimulated so much. All of this for just two women?
In this world, there was nothing better than living. With Qin Yu’s cultivation base and looks, he could curl his fingers and obtain as many women as he wanted. To go mad for them and do all of this was just so stupid!
Of course, the most important point was that Qin Yu’s life and death was linked to his own. If Qin Yu died, he would die too.
Otherwise he would let him do whatever he wanted!
Immortal Origin was also flustered. He quickly waved his hand, “Don’t be so anxious, calm down. When soul fragments from the Path of 10,000 Souls dissipate, they naturally return to their main body. But, that doesn’t mean they have truly disappeared. If you can locate her main body, you might be able to save her.”
Qin Yu’s red eyes fell silent. He let out a breath, “The first question.”
Immortal Origin stiffened.
Qin Yu said, “Tell me the answer and I’ll forgive you today. Otherwise…” His blood red eyes looked up and locked onto Immortal Origin. “You can see whether or not I can locate your main body through that phantom of yours.”
Immortal Origin’s complexion changed. He stared at Qin Yu, his eyes indecisive. A projection was just a projection, even if it was a little special. Once it vanished, there would be no traces of it left behind.
The possibility of being able to lock onto his main body through a projection was miniscule.
But as Qin Yu’s blood red eyes stared at him, even though the words of refusal were at his lips, he couldn’t bring himself to say them.
His intuition told him that if he really rejected Qin Yu, something truly terrifying would occur.
Immortal Origin had made a vow in the past not to reveal anything, otherwise he would have to pay a certain price.
The price wasn’t small, but it also needed to be compared with other things. For example…he could keep this secret and gain an enemy in Qin Yu…or…
With almost no hesitation, Immortal Origin chose ‘or’. With his cultivation boundary, his intuition was often correct.
Selling out the one from the past was indeed not usual of him and also not righteous of him, but it was better than being endlessly chased down.
After spitting out a name, Immortal Origin took a step back and fused into the celestial mountain.
In the previously beautiful Immortal Sect that was shrouded in clouds and mist, out of the dozens of celestial mountains that floated here before, there was only one remaining, and even that one was covered in ruins.
All of the others had been entirely destroyed!
Qin Yu thought for a moment. He firmly remembered this name and then took a step out and vanished from sight.
Hu –
The Immortal Sect cultivators let out a deep breath. They glanced at each other, feeling the joy of having lived through a disaster.
They had managed to survive!
…
Half a month later.
Qin Yu lifted a hand to rub Gu Ling’er’s hair. He paused, shook his head, and lowered his hand. He glanced at the simple and honest man beside her as well as the young boy and girl with immature faces.
She had already gotten married and given birth to a pair of children. He could no longer continue thinking of Gu Ling’er as a little child who hadn’t grown up yet.
“This is good. You’ve brought me far enough.”
Gu Ling’er’s eyes reddened. She said, “Big Brother Qin Yu…” They had finally seen each other again after one hundred years, and now he was leaving again after half a month.
She wanted to ask him to stay, but she couldn’t get the words out. This was because she knew the reason why Qin Yu was in a hurry to leave.
“Live a good life.” Qin Yu smiled. He turned and said, “Westgate, I must ask you to take care and look after my little sister and her family. I will take care of your matter. If there is a harvest, I will definitely send it back to you.”
Solitary Westgate cupped his hands together, “Then I’ll leave it to you.”
Shan Wugu lowered his head. “Go. When you return, bring back my sister-in-laws.”
Qin Yu said, “Of course.”
He turned to leave. He lifted a hand, broke through the skies, and walked in.
…
If it was said that the vast brightness world was like a vast sea dotted with islands, then the Profound Vision World was the most common and inconspicuous island.
This world itself wasn’t that large, and coupled with the incomplete rules of the heavens and earth, few local cultivators were capable of stepping into the God boundary.
But in terms of reputation, it was actually quite well known amongst the myriad worlds in existence. This was because it had a ‘Land of Disorder’ known as the Endless Sea.
This name was familiar, but helplessly, this was exactly what it was called. After all, in such a vast and boundless world, it was normal for multiple locations to have duplicate names.
Although the Endless Sea was indeed in the Profound Vision World, many people didn’t consider it to be part of the Profound Vision World.
The reasoning was simple. It was rare for someone at the God boundary to appear in the entire Profound Vision World, but the Endless Sea actually had some danger hiding within it that could cause even Origin Gods to fall.
Could this be a complete world with its own attributes? But no matter how one looked at it, if they wanted to enter the Endless Sea they first had to come to the Profound Vision World.
Qin Yu stood on the seashore, looking at the large ship swaying in the waves. He narrowed his eyes, revealing a dignified expression.
He already felt dread before he even boarded the ship. It was just that the last time he went to sea left a deep memory etched in his mind.
The Cold Sea…Qin Yu never wanted to go back to that damned place!
“Board the ship!” There was a roar from the bow. A one-eyed man coldly glanced over the crowd of people on the shore.
Whoosh –
Whoosh –
With the sound of breaking air, figures shot into the skies.
“Look! It’s Ou Chan from the Sly Fate Clan. He also came!”
“Look at the one on the left. Although they are wearing a veil, according to reliable information, they are likely a direct descendant from the Ash Flame Lineage!”
“I also heard that the one born at Guiding Chapter Academy will be participating in this grand meeting at the Endless Sea too!”
“Just what has happened for so many young powerhouses to wander into the Endless Sea? This really is a scene of dazzling stars. It leaves me in awe.”
The crew members spoke amongst themselves, awe and envy in their eyes.
The one-eyed man coldly said, “Shut up and get to work!” This person clearly had a high level of prestige; after the crew members were reprimanded they all shut up.
The one-eyed man walked to the bow, glanced at the cultivators flying towards the ship, and sneered.
After entering the ‘Land of Disorder’ in the Endless Sea, these people would be lucky if half of them survived.
