Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1845(2) – B – Kill Himself

In the depths of the void, there was only Heavenly Center left now. Yet, he could still clearly feel the aura of the other Blazing Sun Fragment. He could descend to wherever that Blazing Sun Fragment was with just a single thought. Yet, there seemed to be mountains weighing down on him and tons of obstacles blocking him, so he was unable to take this step at all.

He admitted that he felt afraid.

However, the nine Blazing Suns shone over this vast world for eons. He was going to become a Blazing Sun Owner, so why did he still feel like his life was being threatened?

Suddenly, his body froze, his eyes narrowed, and a horrified expression appeared in them. This was because he suddenly figured something out – why could he become a new Blazing Sun Owner? It seemed like an illogical question, but in reality, the answer was terrifying.

In this world, since there were nine Blazing Suns, there had to be nine Blazing Sun Owners. For a new Blazing Sun Owner to emerge, there must be an empty spot to begin with.

Blazing Sun Owners coexisted with the heavens and earth and they existed outside of nature’s rules. They were the true supreme beings that transcended the shackles of the realms that life forms were divided into and they did not face the problem of their vitality running out at all.

Therefore, there was only one answer to this. One of the Blazing Sun Owners had been killed, which was why there was an empty spot!

……

Xianyang City, Great Qin Empire.

The battle was still going on. At this moment, it was as if there was an invisible energy that wrapped around the battlefield, isolating them from the outside. This invisible energy destroyed and contained the destructive energy within, preventing it from spreading outwards.

Otherwise, this whole Desolate World, which was a ‘great island’ floating on the Eternal Sea, would have already been shattered by this battle.

Right now, they were evenly matched and it was hard to tell who would emerge victorious!

This was the best way to summarize the battle between Emperor Qin and Qin Yu currently. Both of them were very powerful, wielding enough power to suppress True Kings, but facing each other, it was hard for either of them to gain the upper hand.

The Mountains and Rivers Sword in Qin Yu’s hands still shone brightly, releasing an endless destructive sword aura. However, the expression in his eyes was becoming heavier and heavier. Whether he wanted to believe the little blue lamp’s words or not, the facts were laid out right in front of him.

Emperor Qin and himself were shadows of each other, and both of them were equally strong. Unless one of them did nothing and waited for death, neither of them would be able to kill each other.

However, of course, no one was going to sit by and wait for death.

This was a battle where the end was almost nowhere in sight, yet at the same time, it drained Qin Yu’s energy madly.

And this exhaustion of his energy could very well mean he was inching closer to an inevitable disaster.

“Qin Yu, the other owner of a Blazing Sun Fragment has arrived,” The little blue lamp’s voice rang out in his head.

The Blazing Sun Fragments could sense each other, and when Heavenly Center locked onto Qin Yu’s location, the little blue lamp felt it too.

Even though he did not know why the other party had not come here yet, if this battle continued on, it would not matter who would be the final victor because the victor would be on the verge of collapse by the end of it.

Then, if they were to go against Heavenly Center, they would end up losing anyway.

A brilliance erupted in Qin Yu’s eyes!

Boom –

The Mountains and Rivers Sword became heavier in his hands as it attacked at a greater speed.

Opposite him, Emperor Qin smiled, “Qin Yu, you’re in a rush now, but I am not.

“I have enough time to exhaust you little by little. I have accumulated more power than you over countless years.

“You will never be able to kill me!”

Qin Yu attacked Emperor Qin even faster.

“Do not get taunted by him and end up revealing your weaknesses!”

“I know.”

Qin Yu’s voice was calm as he said, “Little blue lamp, Emperor Qin is right. I truly am unable to kill him.”

The little blue lamp was silent.

“Therefore, I decided to take a gamble.”

“What are you trying to do?”

“I will let Emperor Qin kill himself.” Qin Yu raised his head and looked at the other Xianyang City in the skies.

He suddenly let go.

The Mountains and Rivers Sword dropped to the ground.

A look of shock flashed past Emperor Qin’s eyes for a mere instant.

He did not know what exactly happened, but he was not going to miss this golden opportunity.

Boom –

The Emperor Sword, like a great golden sun, erupted with its strongest power. Terrifying sword aura condensed and transformed into a golden pillar that rushed towards Qin Yu.

In just a moment, Qin Yu’s body was covered entirely by that golden pillar.

His Nine Bends Heaven Crossing Great Dao that was burning vigorously started to shatter and fall apart. At the same time, the nine World Hearts that had appeared gradually stopped beating.

Qin Yu’s aura disappeared from this world entirely. Under the attack of the Emperor Sword, he completely vanished like smoke.

“Hahahaha!” Emperor Qin guffawed loudly.

“I am now invincible in this world. No one will ever be able to defeat me!

“Qin Yu, after killing you, I am no longer a shadow!”

That’s right, Emperor Qin had known since a long time ago that he was Qin Yu’s shadow, even before they battled each other.

So what?

Even if he was a shadow, he managed to get the last laugh.

Qin Yu was dead.

Therefore, Emperor Qin was no longer a shadow!

……

In the depths of the void, the illusion frowned and a helpless look flashed past his eyes. He sighed softly. Indeed, the person chosen by her would not be killed off that easily.

The battle at Xianyang was a deathmatch.

Of course it would be best if Qin Yu was killed so he would win this bet. Even if Qin Yu won this battle, he would be weakened to the point of collapse, and eventually, he would still be killed by Heavenly Center.

However, the illusion never thought that Qin Yu would use such a method to break out of this stalemate.

Emperor Qin was indeed invincible and no one could kill him.

It was not only because he was Qin Yu’s shadow, but because when he was reborn again, he was endowed with a certain attribute.

However, there was a loophole in this attribute. No one could kill Emperor Qin except himself.

It was difficult to explain.

To summarize, if Qin Yu was killed in battle, then Emperor Qin would really die.

Otherwise, the only way for Emperor Qin to die was for him to kill himself.

The illusion shook his head. He did not understand why Qin Yu dared to take such a gamble. Did he really trust Rourou that much?

……

Above the skies, the other Great Qin was reflected.

Far away from Xianyang City in the Great Qin Empire’s ancestral land, the most ancient and superior tomb suddenly trembled and exploded from within.

The tomb directly shattered and mud and rocks flew in all directions, revealing the enormous coffin that was buried underground.

At this moment, there was a creaking sound as the lid of the coffin was pushed open from the inside and Qin Yu walked out of it.

He raised his head and looked to the sky.

Right as Qin Yu’s gaze landed on the skies, Emperor Qin, who was laughing loudly in Xianyang City, immediately stopped. He frowned heavily and a confused expression appeared on his face. He lowered his head, looked at his chest, and saw that a huge hole had appeared where his heart was.

Ka-cha –

Ka-cha –

Cracking sounds could be heard as multiple cracks formed, rapidly spreading outwards from his heart.

Very quickly, the cracks covered every inch of Emperor Qin’s body.

Emperor Qin frowned even more, “I…am Emperor Qin…I am…invincible…I will not die…never…”

Whoosh –

A gust of wind blew as Emperor Qin turned into ashes, floating away with the wind.
