Refining the Mountains and Rivers

This was truly an unexpected move. 

Many years ago, Final took a precautionary move and caused the destruction of a Blazing Sun. This concluded Qin Yu’s previous life and the story started from there. 

That was also the start of the bet between Final, the Ruler, and Rourou. 

After he lost the bet, Final could only suppress the killing intent in his heart and wait in silence. 

Everyone thought that he was waiting for the Ruler and Rourou to fuse because that would be his best chance to kill Qin Yu. 

However, Final had used his actions to prove that ‘logic’ did not apply to him. 

Final had made his move and the Annihilation Black Snake was released. It had forced Stone Pagoda to trap Qin Yu inside it. However, the real direction that his knife was pointed at was Origin. 

This had not been a rash move and it was something that Final had thought about for a long time before he made his decision. Only if Origin died would everything end. He did not have to face a crazy woman if he killed Qin Yu. 

Therefore, Final came here today. He finally said the words that he had suppressed in his heart for so many years – I am here to kill you! 

The chaos on the mountain peak instantly started to shake violently. Black cracks appeared from within. They looked like thin ripples on the surface of the water but these insignificant-looking ripples carried an unimaginable amount of force. If any of them were released, the power carried in the darkness could easily wipe out an entire world. 

The clouds above the mountain peak trembled and broke apart into various pieces that dispersed away. 

In the end, this powerful disturbance that should not have been detected by the outside world leaked. 

The great sun above their heads brightened suddenly and it felt like there was a pair of eyes looking down at the chaos near the mountain peak. It was filled with shock and surprise at the disturbance that was happening. 

Very quickly, the rest of the Blazing Sun Owners began to descend. 

However…this was all they could do! 

No one dared to make any rash movements even though it was a brilliant opportunity that was presented in front of them – this applied even to the Blazing Sun Owners who were top existences in this world. 

They were supposed to be invincible beings whose light shone down in all corners of the world. However, they had to lower their heads to others and they would not be able to fully relax in this world. 

If Final and Origin both disappeared, this was the best thing that could happen in this world. 

Yet, thoughts could only remain as thoughts and there was no chance that anyone could make a move on this. 

Because their levels were different, they could only be spectators. There was not a chance for any of them to be fishermen who could pull the bait in. Without any doubt, a fling of an arm from Origin or Final would easily reduce any of the Blazing Sun Owners to ashes! 

They could only spectate! 

Nonetheless, this did not stop the outpour of emotions that was filling the hearts of the Blazing Sun Owners now. 

They were definitely witnessing the most frightening battle in this world. Even though the powers of Origin and Final were being suppressed for now and they did not sweep out to the surroundings, the black cracks flashing in the distance were enough to make their hearts shudder. 

Perhaps they would be able to gain some knowledge from witnessing this ultimate battle. They may find a clue to the path forward that they had been seeking bitterly for so many years. 

…… 

Qin Yu was silent in the darkness. He could sense the iron will of Stone Pagoda. 

It was going to seal Qin Yu in and not give him a chance to escape. 

However, as time passed, his heart grew heavy. Qin Yu sighed and then placed a finger in between his brows. 

“Suicide is an extremely cowardly move, and using suicide to threaten someone is an embarrassing measure.” 

Qin Yu looked into the distance calmly, “So I have to ask for your forgiveness. If I had another choice, I would not have made this move.

“Although I do not know where you came from and what your story is, since you want me alive…regardless of our past and current relationship or the fact that you want me alive, I hope that you can agree to my request.” 

Stone Pagoda remained silent. 

The darkness in front of Qin Yu’s eyes did not waver. 

Smack – 

A light smacking sound could be heard as his flesh started to break apart and his white bones were revealed. 

Qin Yu muttered, “I don’t want to die. I don’t want to, but if Origin dies, I will die too. 

“Therefore, I don’t mind exchanging my death for a chance for Origin to survive. 

“It sounds very poetic, and this is my stance. I hope that you won’t continue to remain silent. No matter how strong my skull is, it won’t be able to withstand my powers.” 

Crack –

Another crisp and clear sound. 

This time, it was the white bones beneath his flesh that cracked. 

Qin Yu did not want to die. 

But if Origin died, he would definitely die. 

Of course, even if Final attacked, Origin might not die. 

Nonetheless, Qin Yu had an intuition and he did not want to risk it. 

Therefore, he could only use his life to force Stone Pagoda into a corner. 

The silence in the darkness was broken by a light sigh, and suddenly, light filled the place again and Qin Yu could see the Annihilation Black Snake outside. 

Stone Pagoda had chosen to back down, “Qin Yu, I hope that you will not regret the decision you have made today.” 

Qin Yu sighed deeply. He quickly activated his blood to heal himself and said, “Trust me, I would not want to regret it either!” 

“I trust you.” 

The moment Stone Pagoda finished speaking, the Annihilation Black Snake that had been curled up around Stone Pagoda suddenly screamed painfully. 

Bright light shot off the surface of Stone Pagoda. It shone brilliantly and the light seemed to congregate into long arrows that shot through its body. 

The Annihilation Black Snake fell from Stone Pagoda and smashed to the ground heavily with a loud ‘boom’.

Stone Pagoda vanished and transparent light armor appeared around Qin Yu, “I do not have an offensive skill that is too powerful. The only good quality I have is that my body is sturdy and I can help your defense.

“You want to help Origin, so you can only count on yourself to kill the Annihilation Black Snake…I chose to trust you so I hope that you will trust me too. This is a very difficult task.” 

Qin Yu remained silent. At this moment, he could already feel the terrifying aura coming from the Annihilation Black Snake. It was going to destroy the world and it appeared like it was invincible. 

“I believe you, but I must kill it!” 

Kaboom – 

Qin Yu stomped down and his body enlarged. He turned into a ten thousand foot tall Ancient Clan member. 

Raising his arm, the three Divine Weapons of the Ancient Clan appeared. The Ancient God Bow was pulled taut and the Ancient God Spear shot forwards sharply a moment later. It sped forward like a lightning bolt and it instantly crossed through space and arrived before the Annihilation Black Snake. 

Boom –

The Ancient God Spear pierced through the Annihilation Black Snake. Unable to withstand the eruptive forces from the impact, the ground started to break apart. Cracks rapidly spread out in all directions and dust flooded the air.

This blow alone wiped out the entirety of Xianyang City. 

Everything had been destroyed. 

This was the power of a Blazing Sun! 

Very soon, Qin Yu’s eyes narrowed. The dust that rose to the sky vanished and the Annihilation Black Snake appeared. It was perfectly unharmed and none of its scales had been broken. 

Its violent and cold eyes locked onto Qin Yu and its lips curled up, revealing its razor sharp teeth. It was mocking Qin Yu. 

“Foolish!” 

It chided. The Annihilation Black Snake’s tail swished and the world seemed to freeze over at this moment as a powerful suppressive force descended. 

A giant Great Dao Illusion appeared behind Qin Yu. Stars were twinkling on its surface and the Great Sun at the tip of it was giving off dazzling light rays. 

Crackle –

Crackle –

As cracking sounds emerged, the world froze over. Qin Yu threw a punch forward. 

The Annihilation Black Snake was forced backwards but Qin Yu appeared to be in a much more pitiful state from that blow. He looked like an insect that was being thrown around in the wind. No matter how much he struggled to keep himself in the air, he was forced back down again. 

“Qin Yu, you don’t understand. I am not Final but I am as powerful as him. So what if you are a Blazing Sun Owner? In front of me, you are nothing.” The Annihilation Black Snake sneered haughtily and its mouth opened. 

In front of it, the world started to crumble apart into ashes and everything was sucked into the snake’s mouth. 

One breath and one swallow; it was truly forcing Qin Yu into a corner. The Great Dao Illusion was connected to the world and it felt like a divine tree that was helping to keep Qin Yu steady. Despite that, he was shaking unsteadily and the Great Dao Illusion behind him buzzed continuously in agony. Incense power was rapidly being used up and the Great Sun behind the Great Dao Illusion was desperately shining as bright as it could. 

However, this was not enough to withstand the devouring from the Annihilation Black Snake. Qin Yu could clearly sense that his Great Dao Illusion was being thrown off bit by bit as time passed. 

When the Great Dao Illusion passed a threshold where it could no longer be stable, his Great Dao would crumble apart and he would receive a backlash on a similar level. 

Right now, Qin Yu’s Great Dao was not based on pure incense power alone. It was connected to the stars and supported the Great Sun of Qin Yu. Even though Qin Yu was stronger than he ever was before, he would suffer heavy injuries the moment it was destroyed! 

Qin Yu’s eyes narrowed and he looked at the Annihilation Black Snake. He suddenly asked, “So your defense is very strong?” 

Through the light armor, Stone Pagoda’s voice could be heard, “...Yes.” 

“Then I will trust you!” 

Stone Pagoda was speechless but its aura was fluctuating in waves, “What do you want to do?” 

A quick look at "" will leave you more fulfilled.

Qin Yu said, “My many past battle experiences have taught me that a strong defense is normally broken from within.

“The Annihilation Black Snake is very strong – much stronger than I expected. Killing it will be very difficult and I don’t have much confidence. So I have to take a risk. What do you think?” 

The words ‘You crazy bastard’ were hovering at Stone Pagoda’s lips. Yet, before it could say them, Qin Yu stepped forward and there was nothing that Stone Pagoda could do from that moment on. 

Whoosh –

He was like a stone that was pulled into the mouth of the Annihilation Black Snake in a flash. 

Through the cold, violent snake’s eyes, there was a mocking look, “Qin Yu, I told you that I have the power of Final. You dare to enter my tummy?

“You are seeking your own death!”
