Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1806 – Eternal Object Breaking

Green Goddess’ expression changed and she looked conflicted. She lifted her hand, “Everyone leave!”

All the demons from the Demon Clan acknowledged respectfully and turned to leave.

Qin Yu was more certain now and he looked even calmer.

Green Goddess said in a low voice, “Your Majesty, what do you mean?”

Qin Yu said, “You know exactly what I mean, if not, you would not have asked everyone to leave.” He looked up and into the Demon Clan Ancestral Land, “A strong scent of blood. It seems like Demon Moon’s problem is a lot bigger than I had imagined.

“Green Goddess, you have to think carefully. In this kind of situation, every second is extremely precious. If you continue to delay, then I may not be certain that I can save her.”

Green Goddess took a deep breath, “Your Majesty, please follow me!”

She turned and left.

A hint of a smile pulled at Qin Yu’s lips. Things were going smoother than he had imagined. But from another point of view, Demon Moon’s condition might be a lot worse than he thought.

If not, Green Goddess would not have been so anxious.

Woosh –

The two of them disappeared and entered the Demon Clan Ancestral Land. It was a large area with many tablets.

Today, on one of the tablets, there were traces of blood and it gave a sense of danger and suppressed brutality.

Qin Yu frowned slightly and looked at the sky thoughtfully.

He stepped forwards and called out, “Demon Moon!”

The air shifted and a moon appeared. But within the deep green color, there was a blood color that could not be hidden. Though it was just a very small portion, it seemed to form cracks that radiated outwards and broke the entire Demon Moon into many fragments.

Woosh –

Demon Moon’s figure appeared and she looked calm as she wore a long blood-colored robe. She said slowly, “Your Majesty’s arrival is a huge honor to the Demon Clan…but the Demon Clan and you have been enemies since a long time ago and I am sure you know this. Please hurry and leave!”

Green Goddess was about to say something but Demon Moon waved her off. Green Goddess looked anxious.

Qin Yu still looked calm, seemingly not affected by Demon Moon, “I can go, but Demon Moon, you should be clear on what is going to happen.

“The Demon Clan has lost Demon Lake and its foundation was severely impacted. If you fall, so what if you want to draw a distinction between the Demon Clan and Barbarian Clan? In the end, you will not be able to protect your interests. Or more directly…”

He looked straight at Demon Moon, “Once you die, the Demon Clan will decay and eventually lose its current position. You all will end up as prey of the Desolate people! After all, killing demons and creating medicine can help the Desolate people increase their cultivation.”

Demon Moon was expressionless, “Your Majesty, are you done? Then please leave.”

“Demon Moon!” Green Goddess suddenly said, “The Barbarian King said that he can save you. I hope that you will live.”

Demon Moon shook her head, “The barbarians are getting attacked all over the world and Emperor Qin is involved. The Barbarian Clan has no chance of success. I cannot implicate the entire Demon Clan and drag everyone into the abyss just for my own survival.”

“So Your Majesty, I understand your good intentions but please leave the Demon Clan immediately. If not, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Qin Yu frowned internally. Demon Moon’s stern stance was unexpected.

This was troublesome…

There were many demons from the Demon Clan and convincing them would really help Qin Yu.

Must he give them up?

Demon Moon’s gaze grew more sinister and the smell of blood wafted from her.

Qin Yu silently sighed. It seems like he had to return without gaining anything today. He could not possibly ruin their relationship; he had to leave them some space.

“In that case…”

He paused and turned to Demon Moon.

She looked to be in pain and her blood-colored robe had a red glow emitting from it. It felt as if the robe was alive. The blood red glow was twisting and looked sinister.

It was like a red tongue that wrapped around Demon Moon, drooling rapidly. It was also like the tongue had spikes on it, and every time it licked, it pulled a piece of flesh from her.

“Demon Moon!”

Green Goddess’ expression changed and ran to her side. She lifted her hand and demon energy filled the air and entered Demon Moon’s body. It was obvious that none of this worked as Demon Moon still looked to be in pain and the pain did not subside at all. On the contrary, the red glow grew more intense.

It looked like it was about to swallow her!

Qin Yu’s pupils shrank as he saw this. He was finally able to confirm Demon Moon’s problem – the crumbling of an Eternal Object.

No wonder Demon Moon seemed to have lived forever and had been with the Demon Clan since ancient times. So she had also taken the path of Eternals.

The path of Eternals was indeed a mistake, but it was able to greatly increase the lifespan of a cultivator and make them seem to live forever.

But once the Eternal Object started to break, the Eternal would also die with it!

Demon Moon was facing this now. The blood glow around her was emitted by the breaking Eternal Object.

This could be seen as the backlash of the Eternal Object.

It was the price that cultivators, who had not broken through to the Eternal realm, but forcibly lengthened their lives against the heavens’ will, had to pay.

No wonder the Demon Clan’s foundation was not able to save Demon Moon either. This was an unsolvable problem and she was doomed to die!

Qin Yu was silent.

He realized that he had been extremely sheltered because everything had been going his way recently. This was something that had slowly grown within him.

He was not god and there were many things in this world that he could not do – even if Qin Yu had the Incense Great Dao and was on the proper path towards the realm above.

Demon Moon’s stance and firmness in rejecting Qin Yu…was right in that she worried her own issue would implicate the entire Demon Clan.

But the other problem was that Demon Moon knew very clearly that no one could save her now. Since this was the case, Demon Moon would not want to get close to Qin Yu and would rather die.

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty!” Green Goddess called out, “Please save Demon Moon. Please save her!”

Qin Yu took a deep breath, “I…”

He immediately stopped as soon as he started. Shock appeared in his eyes.

Because the little blue lamp, which had been silent for an extremely long time, suddenly had movement.

Buzz –

An aura coming from the little blue lamp appeared in Qin Yu’s body.

“Save her.”

It spoke calmly.

At this moment, a storm had been set off within Qin Yu.

The reason was simple. the little blue lamp making a move meant the end of concealment. And there was only one explanation for this – there was no need to conceal anymore.

The little blue lamp was silent again. But this time, it was different. Qin Yu could sense that it was recovering its strength.

Was the person who crossed the Bounded Void Space and was chasing them about to arrive?

Qin Yu’s expression grew serious, as if a huge stone was weighing down on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe. He maintained a calm expression.

“Your Majesty!”

“Your Majesty!”

Green Goddess cried out miserably and hopelessly.

Demon Moon was dying, she was dying!

Qin Yu closed his eyes and opened them after a few moments.

Now that things had reached this point, he had no control and could only deal with it as it came. He could not just sit and wait.

Moreover, the little blue lamp had asked him to save her…there must be a reason. At least, the little blue lamp thought that winning the Demon Clan over would help Qin Yu a lot.

It had not given up!

The ending was still unclear.

Woosh –

Qin Yu stepped out and appeared in front of Demon Moon. He touched her forehead.

Demon Moon looked to be in pain. On her beautiful face, small cracks suddenly appeared. At this moment, her eyes shot open and she struggled to shout angrily, “Your Majesty, leave the Demon Clan now or I will summon Emperor Qin!”

Qin Yu was expressionless, “Stupid woman. I have felt your condition. Since I said that I can save you, I will help you survive!

“So what if your Eternal Object has broken? There is no one in this world that can save you but I!”

Green Goddess looked stunned.

Demon Moon was in a daze. It had been a long time since anyone had dared to be so brazen to her.

She was about to burst out in anger when her expression changed suddenly.

At this moment, the energy that was flowing into her body from Qin Yu’s finger was rapidly fixing the damage to her Eternal Object.

The Eternal Object was getting repaired!

More obviously, the blood red glow that was being emitted from the blood-colored robe Demon Moon was weaning was dimming. The cracks on her face were healing as well.

Green Goddess pursed her lips and her eyes were glistening, “Demon Moon, you are saved…you are saved…”

Qin Yu now had a cold expression as he remained silent.

He was in a horrible mood.

He should have been delighted to have convinced the Demon Clan but now, he felt nothing of the sort.

Because he did not know when the air above him would split open and a person of unknown gender would come and send him on his way.

Truthfully speaking, the feeling of knowing his days were numbered was extremely horrible!

Qin Yu was extremely irritable.

A moment later, he withdrew his hand and said in a low voice, “Done.”

Then there was a soft ‘pak’ sound and the blood-colored robe Demon Moon was wearing disintegrated. What appeared before them was a perfect body. Every inch was perfect, as if she was carved out of ivory and was even glowing softly.

Woosh –

Demon Moon opened her eyes and looked at Qin Yu, “Is it nice to look?”

Qin Yu frowned but did not say anything.

Demon Moon lifted her hand and a long green skirt appeared over her.

She was silent.

Green Goddess did not speak either.

Qin Yu said, “I don’t have time to stay in the Demon Clan.”

Demon Moon looked at him, “I am extremely grateful to you for saving my life, but this does not mean that the Demon Clan belongs to you.

“The Demon Clan will make it up to you, but we will stay out of the conquest of the barbarians. No demons will enter the Barbarian Clan’s lands, and this is all I can do for you.”

Qin Yu lifted his hand and clenched it.

Demon Moon’s expression changed.

What angered her was that her power seemed to stop in that moment. It was as if her powers had been frozen and she could not move.

Pak –

A snow white neck appeared in Qin Yu’s hands. Because her cultivation was frozen, her skirt disappeared as well.

A woman so beautiful that it made people hold their breath. She was being dragged by her neck and Qin Yu’s eyes were now filled with extreme cold.

“Demon Moon, did you think that you could receive my grace without any payment?

“I can save you and I can also kill you.”

Green Goddess’ expression changed, “Your Majesty…”

Qin Yu cut her off, “Shut up!”

He stared at Demon Moon, “Now, tell me your choice or die!”

Demon Moon looked furious and murderous as she glared hatefully at Qin Yu!

At this moment, the hand holding her neck was getting tighter and tighter.

Crack –

Crack –

Demon Moon could hear the sound of bones cracking. It was her spine breaking.

And not only that.

This sound also represented her Eternal Object breaking. An intense death aura covered Demon Moon. Deep in her cold eyes, there was panic.

Demon Moon was sure that Qin Yu would kill her.

“Demon Moon!” Green Goddess shouted, “If you die, what will happen to the Demon Clan? You and I both know!

“Rather than see Demon Clan get slowly submerged in suffering, I would rather take the risk.

“His Majesty can save you and this is his power. Who else in this world can do it?”

There was a flicker in Demon Moon’s eyes, “Your Majesty, the Demon Clan is willing to submit to you!”

Qin Yu released his hand. ‘Plop’, she fell onto the ground panting. Her entire body was trembling.

“This is the first and last time. If I have to take action again, you will definitely die.”

Qin Yu glanced at the naked woman in front of him. There was no emotion in his icy eyes.

“Yes…”

Demon Moon kneeled, completely subservient. What made her more ashamed and indignant was that deep in her heart, there was a slight joy. Demon Moon has not felt this feeling ever since he disappeared many years ago.

She waved her hand and created a new skirt for herself. If not, she was worried that her flustered self would show in front of Qin Yu.

Qin Yu could sense a slight change in Demon Moon. Other than shock and anger in her eyes, there was something else in her look.

It was complicated.

But Qin Yu was in no mood to understand what Demon Moon was thinking. He said in a low voice, “The Demon Clan can temporarily not participate in the war between the Barbarian Clan and the Desolate Area. But I request you to lead all the demon clans in this world to recognize me as their leader and offer incense power to me.”

Demon Moon lowered her head, “Yes Your Majesty.”

Green Goddess stared at her back with slight surprise.

Woosh –

Qin Yu stepped out and disappeared, “I am willing to give the Demon Clan one chance. I hope that you will cherish this chance.”

Demon Moon’s legs gave way and she almost fell to the ground.

Green Goddess hurried to support her, “Demon Moon, are you alright?”

She then saw how flushed she was. She was also panting and her eyes were glistening.

“I…I am alright…” Demon Moon took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, “Damn this Barbarian King. He actually dared to treat me like this. I will not let him go!”

Her tone was extremely hateful, but she did not sound very convincing and it even sounded slightly pretentious.

Green Goddess looked at her weirdly, “What is wrong with you?”

Demon Moon shook her head, “You will know in the future.” She stood up and said, “Let’s go. Call all the major demons in the world. Since we are going to obey the Barbarian King, we have to do things quickly.”

Green Goddess looked at her even more weirdly. This was completely contrary to her previous statement. But she did not object to this. The Barbarian King was mysterious and it was best for the Demon Clan to do as he said.

Very soon, there was movement in the Demon Clan Ancestral Land.

The next day, several major demons left to head around the world to where demon clans gathered.

At this moment, Qin Yu had reached Thirteenth Floor and was sitting across from Floor Master.

“Cough cough cough!” He coughed lightly. He was slightly pale and his aura was a bit weak.

Qin Yu put his hands together, “Thank you Floor Master for your help.”

Floor Master looked calm, “Your Majesty, you must know the true history of Thirteenth Floor…so your identity determined that we are fated to be enemies.”

Qin Yu said, “But now, we have the same enemy.”

Floor Master said slowly, “And that is why you are able to sit across from me safely.” He waved his hand, “Putting everything aside, Thirteenth Floor can stay out of the conquest by all the countries against the Barbarian Clan. You have to settle the rest yourself.”

“Okay!” Qin Yu’s eyes glimmered, “But other than that, I have something else that I need your help with.
