Chapter 1747 – Fragment of One of the Nine Suns

Qiongji became even more furious, not just because Qin Yu had changed focus to target him.

The more important thing was that as his innate Divine Ways were shattered, the Sunmoon above Qin Yu’s head had directly released a suppressing aura that fell onto him.

It was as if he was stuck in quicksand!

This scenario he was in was simply unimaginable. With the Boundary Ring in his hands, not only was he unable to suppress the other party, in fact, now he was the one being suppressed, putting him in a miserable state.

He suddenly regretted attacking Zhou Huan on impulse. He should have made more preparations beforehand.

But now, it was completely useless to have such thoughts.

Bam –

Qiongji was hit by one of the slashes. A wound appeared on his enormous body and fresh blood gushed out from it. The flesh that was torn quickly regenerated and healed, but in the next moment, it started to tear and blood flowed out of the wound again.

His Great Dao Golden Armor was unable to block this hit. Furthermore, after his flesh was torn, it continued to sustain continuous damage.

This was because of a power that the sword contained, which went beyond the King realm.

Longevity Species, Eternal realm!

Qiongji howled in pain and his eyes reddened with fury and greed. The violent tendencies in him were completely awoken.

He opened his mouth and spat out a meat lump. A black daoist robe appeared out of nowhere and wrapped this meat lump within. In the blink of an eye, this lump became a human daoist with an empty pair of eyes. He outstretched his arm and held onto white jade dust.

This was the image that Qiongji had when he took on the appearance of a human.

As an ancient beast, he had an extremely huge body. Additionally, because of his blood origins, it was very difficult for him to cultivate to become a human being.

Eons ago, the human cultivators fought a huge battle with the ancient people. This battle lasted for thousands of years before the human cultivators emerged victorious. It was at this time that Qiongji took the opportunity to swallow a human daoist, which was why he took on this daoist’s physical appearance.

Not many people in the Thirteenth Floor knew about this. It was Qiongji’s biggest secret.

“Kill him!” Qiongji yelled ferociously and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

This daoist had cultivated many strange methods in his lifetime. Even though Qiongji was able to borrow this daoist’s body when he swallowed him, he was never truly able to refine this daoist and absorb his methods.

The human daoist raised his head and locked his empty eyes onto Qin Yu. The human daoist took a step forward and his figure became blurry before completely disappearing. The next moment, Qin Yu frowned and retreated a bit. Then, he slashed out with his Mountains and Rivers Sword.

Bam –

A deafening noise rang in the air. A blurry illusion appeared in the air but very quickly disappeared again.

Qin Yu took a few more steps back and slashed out once more.

The illusion was sliced and disappeared again.

However, Qin Yu did not feel any more relaxed. Instead, he was filled with heavy emotions.

These two consecutive slashes seemed to have no effect on the illusion whatsoever. With the Mountains and Rivers Sword’s power, this was very hard to imagine.

It felt as if all the energy from the slash had been sucked into a void, rendering his attacks useless.

Shadow!

This was the direction that this ancient daoist’s cultivation took. It required learning a type of method that had vanished from this world long ago and was completely different from any existing cultivation methods today.

After casting this method, one would turn themselves into a shadow that existed in the spaces between reality and non-reality. Yet, one could freely switch between being real and being an illusion at will.

The human daoist that was in the illusion state could pretty much evade any kind of attack and pull himself out of any forces acting on him, which made him almost invincible.

Qiongji’s spirit was lifted!

Even if you have a lot of ‘borrowed’ power, it is useless against my human daoist’s shadow. If you are unable to understand this, you will only land in a situation where your power will rapidly deplete.

Dragging this on meant that Qin Yu would eventually be dragged to his death!

Soul space.

Rourou frowned and said, “This thing looks very unfamiliar.”

Then, she swept her gaze across Blue Sun.

The little blue lamp was silent for a few moments before saying slowly, “Indeed, it’s not a cultivation system that belongs to this world…”

“Yeah. This world actually has things that we do not recognize,” Rourou pointed out with a thoughtful expression on her face. “It seems like you’re in trouble.”

The little blue lamp simply said, “I can handle this.”

Qiongji widened his eyes ferociously.

Because just now, the human daoist in the shadow state was slashed and forced to retreat once again.

However, this time was different from all the previous times. The human daoist was severely injured. His body was almost cut in half at the waist with that slash.

Even though he was healing now, it was obvious that his figure became even more illusory. It was a sign that his strength was rapidly deteriorating!

How was this possible?

Without giving Qiongji any more time to analyze the situation, Qin Yu slashed downwards with his Mountains and Rivers Sword again. The human daoist in the shadow state abruptly raised his head. A dazzling brilliance exploded in his empty eyes.

The human daoist opened his mouth to speak but his syllables sounded very weird. Yet, Qin Yu understood what he was saying in an instant, “I’ve found you…”

Pu –

The human daoist in the shadow state was directly chopped in half by the sword. Then, he tumbled about before fading and disappearing into thin air.

“Ah!”

Qiongji let out a painful cry. A huge wound appeared on his body, causing his viscera to be exposed and blood to gush out like a foundation.

With all his might, he used his claws to hold his flesh together, hoping that this would help it to heal and regenerate quicker.

But it was completely useless!

This was because whatever vitality his flesh contained had been destroyed the moment his wound appeared, causing his body to turn grayish white.

The thing that made Qiongji the most frightened was that this terrifying vitality-destroying power had already spread outwards.

If it spread to his whole body, the consequences would be quite predictable.

Could this be the power that someone from the Eternal realm possessed? However, clearly there was only an imperfect Longevity Species in Zhou Huan’s body; how could it be this strong?

Qiongji was both shocked and furious. But, he quickly realized that it was just a waste of time to harp on these thoughts and he was going to end up dead!

Raising his head, his big eyes focused on Qin Yu and the Mountains and Rivers Sword in his hand. Subconsciously, fear appeared in his eyes.

Escape!

This thought emerged from the depths of his heart like an erupting volcano.

He was scared!

“Leave the Boundary Ring, and I’ll spare your life,” Qin Yu suddenly said.

If True King Qiongji had heard this just beforehand, he would definitely have been livid, but now…he was feeling secretly happy inside.

Heavenlifting Master became anxious and his face was filled with rage, “True King, you must not listen to this person. If we fight together, it is still possible to win!”

True King Qiongji hesitated for a bit.

Qin Yu raised his hand, but before he could slash downwards with his Mountains and Rivers Sword, True King Qiongji roared, “I want you to swear upon your Great Dao that you will not go back on your word!”

That sword was too terrifying. It was so terrifying to the point that he felt like he was really going to die because of it.

Qin Yu continued to hold the sword in the air. Expressionless, he said, “I’m not killing you because I don’t want to create a conflict with White Jade Capital. If you want to live, you must keep what happened today a secret. Otherwise, I will come and find you.”

Swear upon my Great Dao? I don’t even have one!

Qin Yu’s attitude was very overbearing right now.

True King Qiongji was extremely furious but also incomparably frightened. He really wanted to give it a go with everything he had, but the vitality-destroying power that was spreading in his body could no longer be suppressed by his willpower.

If he could not fix this situation immediately and continued delaying, the consequences would be unthinkable!

“Fine!”

True King Qiongji gritted his teeth and gave a threatening look, “If you dare to lie to me, I will banish you to the Bounded Void Space so that you will fall into the Sea of Confusion. Then, I will self-destruct my own Great Dao to completely destroy the Boundary Ring, so you will never be able to return to the real world.”

Qin Yu turned around and walked towards Heavenlifting Master. Without saying anything, his attitude was clear, as if he was saying to True King Qiongji, “You can leave now.”

“True King Qiongji!” Heavenlifting Master yelled, his face full of helplessness.

Buzz –

The Boundary Ring trembled slightly as it locked onto the place where they were. Then, a crack appeared in the space.

Whoosh –

True King Qiongji disappeared.

At the instant that True King Qiongji disappeared, Heavenlifting Master rushed into the air. However, he had not gone very far before he was subdued by a sword slash.

“Zhou Huan, I am a True King too. If you dare to try and kill me, I can also self-destruct my Great Dao!”

Qin Yu was expressionless as he asked, “Do you think that I would give you the chance to do so?”

Heavenlifting Master froze in place.

Crackle –

There was a soft crackling sound. The spot between his eyebrows ripped open, and in the next moment, the rip ran through his entire body, completely slicing his body into half.

Above Qin Yu’s head, the sun and moon rotated. The light given out by them combined together, forming a Sunmoon Vortex.

Heavenlifting Master, whose body was chopped in half, had not died yet. The two halves of his body tried to recombine with each other, but before he could succeed, he was pulled into the vortex alive.

“Ah…”

The miserable cry was prolonged, but at this moment, it stopped abruptly.

Ci-la!

White smoke started to come out from Qin Yu’s palms. The Mountains and Rivers Sword suddenly turned red throughout, releasing boiling hot energy.

Qin Yu let go of his sword on reflex. ‘Buzz!’ It directly integrated with his body, and a strong feeling of weakness swept over him. Beads of sweat instantly formed on him, soaking his robe.

However, now, Qin Yu did not have the mental capacity to care about all this.

He sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.

Whoosh –

Qin Yu entered his soul space, and the first thing he said was, “Are you sure that doing this will be okay?” He was directing this question at the little blue lamp.

After a few moments of silence, the little blue lamp said, “All along, I’ve been concealing myself very well, trying not to let any of my energy seep into the outside world. However, there are some things that we cannot avoid. Whatever is going to happen will still happen.”

Rourou nodded and looked at Qin Yu, her face full of pity. “Poor child, you are truly experiencing one wave after another. The number of problems with your body is increasing.”

Qin Yu’s face turned ugly. Even without Rourou mentioning it, he knew what problems had arisen.

This was because the little blue lamp had been too aggressive.

Just now, he had almost disemboweled True King Qiongji with one slash of his sword, causing True King Qiongji to become so frightened that he threw the Boundary Ring behind him and escaped on the spot.

Then, with another slash of his sword, he had directly killed Heavenlifting Master, who had ignited his dao foundation to temporarily enter the True King realm.

Even though these two slashes had put a huge load on the Mountains and Rivers Sword, causing it to almost melt on the spot, it was so powerful that it could have ripped the skies apart!

Was this normal? Of course not!

The little blue lamp had such powerful methods, but had always hidden himself. There was definitely a reason for this.

Now that he had taken action and managed to easily suppress two True Kings, it might not be something beneficial to Qin Yu!

Taking a deep breath, he said, “Tell me, what exactly is it? I’ve already weathered so many storms. I can handle it.”

Rourou gave a thumbs up, “How manly!”

She did not say much, but as she looked at the little blue lamp’s projection, she could somewhat confirm his identity.

Could this be the reason why she treated Qin Yu ‘unconventionally’? It didn’t seem like it!

The little blue lamp said, “I come from another world.” He then raised his hand and pointed, “Simply put, you can regard me as one part of one of the nine suns above your head.”

Then, he paused for a while as if he was thinking about how to explain this more clearly. “The nine suns are part of an order, or more accurately speaking, it is the manifestation of order. However, the rules that dictate this order are not infallible. In the long journey of time, the nine suns are continuously shattering and regrouping. Only through these transformations can they become more perfect. Under normal circumstances, the shattering and regrouping of the nine suns is completed in a very short amount of time. Almost no one would notice it happened, and the chances of an accident happening are therefore even smaller.

“Because I am a part of one of the nine suns to begin with, back then, a large part of my memories about that year was lost. Therefore, I did not know what exactly happened. I only knew that an accident had occurred. The fragments of the suns that should have successfully regrouped had scattered into the Ninerealm, which attracted countless living beings to fight over them. Simply put…the situation now is that the owner of another fragment has already found me.”

It was deathly silent in the soul space.

After some time, Qin Yu licked his lips and asked, “Is he very strong?”

The little blue lamp nodded his head. He felt that he was being too honest, so he tried to soften his reply, “Yes, he is slightly strong.”

Slightly? How slight? So slight that there is a world of difference?

The corners of Qin Yu’s lips twitched and he asked another key question, “When will this being come to find us?”

The little blue lamp thought for a while before saying, “It’s not easy to say. Traveling from world to world requires the crossing of boundaries and getting past the Sea of Confusion. As long as I do not use my power, that being will not be able to find my specific location. It will depend on luck.

“If our luck is good, there will be no trouble for a hundred, or even a thousand years. But if our luck is bad…perhaps even in the next moment, this being might directly descend.”

To Qin Yu, these two scenarios made no difference at all. He raised his hands to rub his temples.

“Since you’ve already been discovered, why were you still so aggressive just now?”

Rourou scoffed, “Dumb! It is because he has been discovered that he needed to quickly end the battle and retract his aura, to prevent being locked onto.”

The little blue lamp nodded, “I am going to be silent for a period of time now. Unless that being descends, I will no longer make any moves.”

He looked at Rourou and said, “Make the necessary arrangements.”

Rourou nodded her head, “Rest assured, I still have time.” Because of the little blue lamp’s explosive attacks, the amount of power depleted was more than he initially expected.

“I’m leaving now.”

He glanced at Qin Yu, and in the next moment, the little blue lamp’s projection directly disappeared.

“You get out too. Prepare to refine the Great Dao!” Rourou did not give Qin Yu any time to protest before waving her sleeve to chase him out.

Whoosh –

Qin Yu opened his eyes and a bitter smile formed on his face, thinking, ‘This is my soul space, okay? I am the owner of it, yet I was chased out by you.’

“Stop wasting time. Hurry up!”

Rourou’s voice was full of impatience.

Boom bam bom –

A rainbow-colored brilliance started to pour out of the Sunmoon Vortex above Qin Yu’s head…the fuel was almost ready!
