Chapter 593A - The City Deep Within the Sea Mausoleum

Shua –

With a thought, Qin Yu’s figure moved forward like a phantom, howling into the Sea Mausoleum at an astonishing speed.

The aura of life was accompanied by the sweet taste of flesh and blood. In this world of death, it was more visible than a lighthouse in a pitch black night.

Thus, Qin Yu didn’t travel for long before he encountered trouble. A mass of gray fog peacefully approached him. Then, it suddenly split open to reveal a giant mouth lined with fangs that bit down at him.

An extremely horrifying specter was actually hidden in this fog. It manipulated lost flesh and blood, but the tempering from the aura of death had actually provided it with an even more potent body.

Qin Yu punched out. A loud bang followed and the specter was sent flying away. His eyebrows furrowed together. He wasn’t startled by the strength of the specter, but rather by the fact that he hadn’t sensed it before it attacked.

This specter revealed its true form. It was in the form of the remains of an alligator skeleton. However, its body was cut in half, leaving only the bottom half of its head hanging down below. Even so, it was several meters long and its appearance was terrifying.

At this moment it shook its head and opened its jaws to emit a thunderous roar. But just as it was about to leap over, its body froze in place.

Kacha –

A crack appeared on its hard skull. It rapidly spread and then startled to collapse inwards. In a breath of time, a deep fist mark appeared.

Pata –

The alligator specter’s massive figure fell to the floor, stirring up a great storm of dust. The soul flames in its hollow eyes were about to extinguish.

The shadows beneath Qin Yu’s feet started to ripple. Undying ran out like a cheetah, opening his mouth wide and shouting that wasting such precious food was a sin!

Undying seemed to take a deep breath. With no other action that one could tell, the collapsing soul flames turned into a thin line that entered his ‘mouth’.

Undying patted his belly and released an enjoyable smacking sound. It was clear he was satisfied with this meal. “This place is truly worthy of being a world of death. These specters that have been bred through the years have a delicious lingering aftertaste that is really hard to forget!”

Qin Yu’s lips twitched. Ever since he took advantage of the Great Dao Tree to be reborn from the verge of death, Undying seemed to have become a little abnormal. Although he mainly remained silent as he usually was, when he spoke up, one could feel the sense of unbridled excitement in his voice.

Even by just eating a specter, Undying was able to express himself so richly. If Qin Yu hadn’t determined that this fellow’s aura hadn’t changed, he might have suspected that his body had been seized by someone else.

Within his soul space there was the sound of a ringing bell. Meimei, who had yet to emerge from her weakened condition, was loudly protesting.

Qin Yu lightly coughed. “For the rest of the specters, keep a portion of their strength for Meimei…mm, and give a part to the purple moon too.” Even if it didn’t say anything, he still needed to keep it in consideration. As for that scumbag blue sun, it hadn’t helped out in the time of crisis so it didn’t deserve to eat anything.

Undying gracefully spun around and bowed like a true gentleman. “Of course. Everything will be as you wish, master.”

Here it came again…

Once this matter was finished, he needed to ask Undying if he was feeling sick. Being ill wasn’t a problem, but he definitely needed to be cured!

“Let’s go.”

Qin Yu continued moving forward. Undying followed close behind, but after taking several steps, he suddenly stopped.

“What is it?”

Undying pointed a finger, “Master, a specter is hidden over there.”

Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows. “It hasn’t provoked us.”

Undying shook his head, “Master, your thinking is wrong. Grass grows peacefully on the ground, and even though it doesn’t do anything, cattle and sheep will still eat it. There is nothing inherently wrong with this; it is simply a necessity of demand. It is with great difficulty that we found a place with tonics everywhere, so how can we enter such a treasure house and return empty-handed? Moreover, I, Meimei, and the purple moon are extremely weak right now. We urgently need master to deliver us food.”

Qin Yu’s lips twitched. Undying even said the line ‘deliver us food’; it seemed his illness was quite serious. But, to argue with a sick person was an absolutely stupid choice. So, Qin Yu simply punched out a fist. A powerful strength soared across space, destroying a distant hill.

With a miserable scream, a specter hidden inside was blown out. Its pale bones started to disintegrate in midair.

Undying shouted out, “Long live master!” He had already rushed forth. With a thrust of his hand, the soul flames were divided into three. He opened his mouth and swallowed his share.

The remaining two portions were pulled into the point between Qin Yu’s eyebrows by an invisible strength. They were cleanly eaten away in the blink of an eye.

Undying quickly hurried back. “Master, this world of death is extremely large and there is still a long way to go. Now, let us hurry along!”

A foreboding premonition appeared in Qin Yu’s heart. As expected, when he hurried forward, his travel actually transformed into a happy culinary adventure for three freeloaders.

“Master, please wait, there is one here.”

“Master, there is another one here.”

“Master, I have made a massive discovery. There are two hidden in a nest over there!”

“Master…”

Qin Yu had already turned numb. As long as a specter existed, it couldn’t escape Undying’s senses. He thought about refusing, but before Undying could even say anything, those two others in his soul space immediately argued back.

The normally haughty and aloof purple moon directly sent out her cold thoughts. If Qin Yu dared to not provide her with the strength of these specters, he had best forget the thought of her trying her best in the future.

Qin Yu could only compromise. With this the idea of saving time or anything like that was tossed out of the window. He didn’t even travel in a straight line but instead wandered around in twists and turns!

Undying’s chant echoed in his ears: Food was precious and to waste it was a sin!

Qin Yu occasionally turned around and looked at the direction he came from. The skies were clearly far brighter than before. He couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty. When he came to the Sea Mausoleum to take the divine stone, the Sea Sovereign had been grateful to him for doing so. But, if the Sea Sovereign discovered that the other fellows he brought in had swept away all the dead spirits of his ancestors…would he be angry?

But I have nothing else I can do. Everyone has their own troubles, so I hope we can all forgive each other…cough cough…he absolutely needed to process the matter of the divine stone smoothly, otherwise he would have no face to see anyone!

Because he underestimated the appetite of Undying, Meimei, and the purple moon, his original plan of finishing this task in a single day had turned to bubbles.

…

Outside the Sea Mausoleum, Sang Yueyue’s eyes were reddened. She anxiously looked at the Sea Sovereign, as if saying she would cry if he told her any bad news.

Across from her, the Sea Sovereign held a disc used by priests in his hands. After closing his eyes for a long time, he revealed a strange expression.

Sang Yueyue’s heart skipped a beat. “Your Majesty, what is it? Have you found Big Brother Qin Yu’s aura? How come he hasn’t returned yet?”

The Sea Sovereign hesitated for a moment. He said, “Yueyue, you need not worry. This Solitude’s perception might not be accurate, so I would like to ask Mister Turtle to give it a try.”

As he spoke, he handed over the disc. Mister Turtle had already noticed the strange expression on the Sea Sovereign’s face. He restlessly received the disc.

Sang Yueyue was worried but she could only forcefully maintain a calm demeanor. After a long period of silence, Mister Turtle opened his eyes. The expression on his face was the same as that of the Sea Sovereign.

The two glanced at each other. The ruler and minister had worked with each other for many years, so they could understand each other’s thoughts with just a look. But right now, they had no idea what they should be feeling. Should they be feeling anger or joy? However, there was one point that was without doubt. There was no way they could reveal this matter, otherwise how could they keep their heads held high?

“Grandpa Turtle, what happened? Hurry and tell me!”

The old turtle coughed. He said, “Crown Princess, there is nothing to worry about. Mister Qin, he...is fine. It’s just that the road through the Sea Mausoleum is difficult so his schedule has been delayed a little.

Sang Yueyue relaxed. She glanced at the Sea Sovereign and seeing her uncle nod, she finally felt relieved. “Just why was Big Brother Qin Yu bragging? He clearly cannot finish up in a single day.” She thought of something and then quickly asked, “Grandpa Turtle, when will Big Brother Qin Yu return?”

The old turtle’s face stiffened. He hurriedly coughed to conceal his expression. The Sea Sovereign was also left speechless. Wasn’t this the same as asking to what degree Qin Yu was planning to plunder the solemn Sea Mausoleum?

In one day, the aura of specters in the Sea Mausoleum had sharply declined by 10%. The range and speed at which this occurred was far too terrifying!

His Majesty looked up into the skies, clearly not willing to speak. The old turtle squeezed out a smile, “Ah…Crown Princess, do not worry, Mister Qin’s momentum and vitality are as boundless as an infinite rainbow. He doesn’t have the slightest wound on him…cough cough, at most he will return in several days.”
