Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1849 – Variables

The Domain of Obliteration was continuously expanding with the capital of Great Qin, Xianyang, as its center. By now, it had devoured more than half of the Central Desolate and it was continuing to advance rapidly to devour the entire Desolate World. All this happened silently and it was a silent storm of destruction. More than a billion living things had died already.

In the skies, two Blazing Suns were burning brightly and giving off a powerful aura. They were each rapidly devouring the other party’s strength. Furthermore, these two Blazing Sun Fragments came from the same Blazing Sun and they were supposed to be one entity. They did not hold back anything at all as the one who managed to devour the other would successfully become the new Blazing Sun!

To the little blue lamp, this was a battle that he was destined to lose. However, he still chose to trust Qin Yu. Like he said, Qin Yu had no other choice, and it was the same for the little blue lamp. They did not have a choice and they were not willing to give up. Hence, they could only give it their all.

The little blue lamp was wagering on Qin Yu killing off Heavenly Center before he was devoured by the other Blazing Sun Fragment. As long as Heavenly Center died, this battle would end!

At this point, in the ocean of magma in the Domain of Obliteration, there was a deep growl as a beast emerged from it. Its eyes were violent and red and it locked onto Qin Yu’s body. It was filled with a destructive aura.

Boom –

The Magma Beast roared, opening its mouth wide to swallow its prey.

A burning Great Dao projection appeared behind Qin Yu. He raised his hand as fast as he could and the Ancient God Spear flew forward. It smoothly shot through the air and rushed towards the Magma Beast. In the next moment, the spear pierced through its flesh completely and it landed on the other side of the ocean of magma.

However, very soon, another beast appeared from the magma…no, it was clear that beast that had been pierced through by the Ancient God Spear just now. It was in perfect condition again and there was no evidence of any injury having been done to it.

Qin Yu frowned and reached his arm forward to grab. ‘Kaboom’, the entire ocean of magma shook fiercely as a blanket of oppressive forces descended.

The Ancient God Spear was suppressed at the bottom of the ocean!

In a flash, the Magma Beast bolted through the air swiftly, its pair of wings beating nimbly to spur it forward. It flashed its rows of sharp teeth and chomped down ferociously.

Buzz –

The Mountains and Rivers Sword zipped through the air and the Magma Beast’s body stiffened. In the next moment, its limbs were torn out from it and its body collapsed into the ocean of magma. Magma splashed out in huge columns and massive waves rippled outwards.

Nonetheless, the Magma Beast once again bounded out of the ocean not long after it fell in. It was as though it was eternal and it could not die, because this Magma Beast was constantly being revived!

Qin Yu pointed and the Mountains and Rivers Sword rushed forward. Vast waves of sword aura flooded the sky and covered the Magma Beast. In an instant, the Magma Beast was sliced into a million pieces and the huge, rock-like, body parts fell into the ocean of magma.

However, it was a pity that it did not really cause much harm to the Magma Beast. Once again, it rushed out from the ocean of magma.

Heavenly Center explained, “It is no use. It is the ocean of magma and the ocean of magma is the beast. As long as this purgatory is here, there will always be magma and the ocean of magma will last forever.”

Without speaking, Qin Yu slashed forward with his sword and killed the Magma Beast again and again. His moves appeared very simple, but each time he unleashed an attack, it expended some energy.

Heavenly Center smirked coldly. Qin Yu was in a bottomless pit. As time passed by, he would become weaker and weaker. Furthermore…time had always been on Heavenly Center’s side. If Qin Yu was willing, Heavenly Center would not hesitate to drag this out because Qin Yu’s Blazing Sun Fragment would only grow weaker with each second.

“Magma Beast Andorra.” A forlorn expression was on the Ruler’s face, “Its vitality is much stronger than before.” She looked at Red Sea, “It seems that you have grown much more powerful in these years.”

Her tone was warm and there wasn’t any threat in there. However, Red Sea felt much more on guard against the Ruler as soon as she said this.

She bowed, “Ruler, since I have already been dragged into this, I have to find ways to allow myself to be the greatest benefactor. Please forgive my actions.”

The Ruler smiled, “You have already put it out in this way and I am not an illogical person, I definitely understand. However, I have been asleep for so many years and I am very hungry. I feel like I can devour a mountain.”

She raised her finger, “Andorra looks like a mountain and it has been boiling in the magma for so many years. Its meat must definitely be delicious. Just thinking about it is making me drool…Red Sea, you will be nice and give Andorra to me, right?”

Red Sea’s expression stiffened.

Final chimed in, “Red Sea, it is your fortune that Origin likes Andorra. When things are settled today, you should give her Andorra.”

Red Sea bowed, “Yes.”

The Ruler smiled and ran her fingers through her hair, “It seems that you are getting bolder; my words are no longer that effective.”

Final cupped his hands together, “Origin, you are too humble.”

Rourou scoffed, “Aren’t you two tired of putting on an act?” She stepped forward, “Why don’t we just battle it out now?”

“Don’t be short-tempered.” The Ruler glanced at her, “What are you anxious about? The outcome has not been decided yet.”

“Qin Yu, this brat, is a little dumb and his cultivation is sub par. He does not have any hidden cards on him but his luck is pretty good. I believe that although Magma Beast Andorra is hard to kill, it should not trouble him too much.”

Origin nodded, “That is the case – let’s continue watching.”

“Hmph!” Rourou pouted, “Boring.”

Her eyes sparkled, “I have something else to attend to; you guys continue watching here. Call me when you are about to battle.”

Shoosh –

Rourou vanished.

In the next moment, she appeared at a spot in the Domain of Obliteration. She calmly said, “Come out, stop hiding.”

White Feifei appeared with a smile, “We meet again.”

Rourou frowned and examined her, “I was mistaken, your stealth technique is not bad.”

White Feifei shook her head, “It isn’t stealth. Before Qin Yu killed Emperor Qin, I had not awakened.”

“Stop beating around the bush. What do you want?”

White Feifei replied, “I don’t know.” Her eyes were dim but they carried a calmness, “If I really have to answer, I have not decided yet.”

Rourou’s eyes narrowed.

White Feifei asked, “Are you sure you want to make a move against me now? Final is here and if he learns that I am also present…do you think that he will have an outburst now?”

Rourou scoffed, “Do you think I am afraid of that?”

“Of course you aren’t afraid, but Qin Yu will die.” White Feifei’s voice was calm and she blinked her eyes, “Either way, I have not thought about it yet so you should just continue waiting. If you are pressuring me, you might actually make me reach a decision that you would not want. Why take that risk?”

Rourou’s eyes grew more hostile.

Nonetheless, White Feifei knew that she had taken a step down already. She smiled, “Alright, I will carefully consider and then make my decision.”

She turned and left.

Shoosh –

White Feifei vanished.

Rourou looked in the direction that she disappeared in and she frowned even deeper.

A variable factor had appeared!

She had known that all that splitting and breaking of White Feifei’s body would result in some trouble. Once or twice might not be too obvious, but continuous breaking would result in a large change.

As a result, White Feifei was here.

Although Rourou was not afraid, it was undeniable that she felt a threat.

Once Final sensed White Feifei’s awakening and confirmed her existence, his attitude would change.

If he erupted, Qin Yu would definitely be the first to die.

“How annoying!” Rourou snapped in annoyance. She looked in the direction of the battlefield where Qin Yu was continuously striking out with slash after slash. Her frown deepened.

Magma Beast Andorra was immortal. Unless Qin Yu could destroy the entire ocean of magma with one sword strike, there was no way for him to kill it. Was he dumb? He had done so many sword strikes and he should have realized it already.

Boom –

Sword aura burst and the Magma Beast was sliced apart yet again. And once more, it revived in the ocean of magma. Its bloodshot eyes locked onto Qin Yu and there was a slight mockery in them. If it could kill a Blazing Sun Fragment Ruler, it would become the god of all beasts!

Roar –

Andorra’s mouth stretched open fiercely. Qin Yu sliced down once again and the look of mockery in its eyes grew thicker. The Mountains and Rivers Sword was truly terrifying and it could easily destroy its body, but it was useless. However, the mockery in the beast’s eyes was quickly replaced by shock. Then, pain and surprise shot through it.

Boom –

Boom –

At this moment, numerous sword auras exploded in the ocean of magma; they sliced through every inch of space and covered the entire ocean of magma. They were tearing everything apart!

At the same time, cracks appeared on the surface of Andorra’s body, lining every piece of its defensive scale armor. There was despair and disbelief left in its eyes.

Qin Yu sliced his sword down decisively in the next moment.

It was direct and simple, and the massive body of Andorra was slashed apart into multiple pieces. The churning, boiling ocean of magma turned deadly silent.

Boom –

The ocean of magma split open again, but this time, it wasn’t the revived Andorra that flew out but it was the Ancient God Spear that had been suppressed by the ocean of magma before.

“Ancient!”

Qin Yu yelled and the Ancient God Spear hummed. The carvings on its body lit up and it shot through the air and disappeared. In the next moment, it flashed before Heavenly Center and pierced through his chest without hesitation!

Boom –

Heavenly Center’s body shattered but it quickly recovered in the next second.

He looked at Qin Yu with a slight frown, “Qin Yu, you are quite formidable if you can kill Andorra.

“But this is meaningless. My body itself does not obey heavenly rules and it is immortal.”

Heavenly Center raised his hand, “Reverse!”

Kaboom –

Invisible rules descended and they quickly altered the flow of time in this region. The silent ocean of magma started to churn again and the dead Magma Beast Andorra roared in anger.

Qin Yu was expressionless, “Constructing rules and reversing time. I truly can’t do this, but it does not mean that I will be helpless against it.”

He raised his hand and brandished the Mountains and Rivers Sword.

Buzz –

The hum of the sword was piercing!

In the next moment, the entire purgatory…no, the Domain of Obliteration was filled with sinister sword aura and it flooded the purgatory. This was Qin Yu’s real motive when he attacked with multiple sword slashes without stopping just now. Killing the Magma Beast Andorra was a cover for all of this.

Rules obeyed Heavenly Center’s will, but as the sword aura exploded, they were smashed into pieces. As a result, the reversed flow of time that was created from these rules was forcefully pulled back to its normal flow of time.

Roar –

Andorra roared madly. One of its claws had stretched out of the magma and it was about to crawl through from the cracks. However, its movements froze and the claw revealed to the world exploded and fell back into the ocean of magma.

Heavenly Center frowned, “You summoned a world with a single thought and you could forcefully break apart the rules that I have constructed. I have to admit that I underestimated you slightly. However, do you think that a world of sword aura will stop me?”

He waved his sleeve.

Kaboom –

A tsunami of forces slammed through the battlefield and its shockwaves spread out in all directions. Sword aura was destroyed and scattered, not standing a chance against Heavenly Center’s attack.

Buzz –

The Mountains and Rivers Sword hummed again. Blinding light reflected off its surface.

Numerous sword auras appeared in the skies and they continuously multiplied exponentially. From one slice to two to four. Within seconds, it filled every corner of this world, rushing in a hurry to replenish the gaps that were missing sword aura.

Qin Yu stepped forward and calmly said, “Compared to calling this the world of sword aura, I prefer to call it a Sword Prison! Indeed, it will not be able to suppress you in here, but that was never my goal.”

He paused slightly, “Because, I want to kill you!”

Boom –

The Sword Prison started to surge with forces violently!

There was too much sword aura and the moment that it exploded, it covered every single corner and there was no way to find out what was happening. However, to the spectators of the battle, this was not a problem.

The Ruler smiled, “I told you, this brat Qin Yu is quite lucky. He has obtained favors with his divine sword and turned his dangerous plight around.”

Final was at a loss for words.

He could not understand how the Ruler could say this.

Was she that thick-skinned to think that everything went according to her will?

“Final, your expression tells me that you have something to say.”

“You must be mistaken.”

“Are you in a bad mood?”

“No.”

“Denying is admitting.” The Ruler raised her eyebrow, “Men need to be more confident and you should widen your chest. It is not good to always be moody by constantly suppressing things in your heart.”

Final’s lips twitched, “Origin, you are testing your limits.”

The Ruler smiled, “Alright, then I will stop speaking.” She raised her hand and snapped her fingers, “Rourou, don’t run too far away. Someone might lose their temper soon and blow up.”

Final shook his head and sighed helplessly, “I have always abided by my words.” He reached out to touch the boundless sword aura and dragged it across, “Furthermore, I understand Heavenly Center: his cultivation is mediocre but he has some tricks up his sleeve.

“Qin Yu is blessed with a divine sword because he is lucky, but Heavenly Center is also a Blazing Sun Fragment owner. It would be embarrassing if he did not have hidden cards.”

The moment he said this, stars appeared in the Domain of Obliteration. They created a galaxy that overlooked the Sword Prison.

Each of these stars was like a massive mountain that carried invisible suppressive forces. The speed at which the sword auras spun and churned slowed down dramatically.
