Refining the Mountains and Rivers - Chapter 653.1

Chapter 653B – Limitless Drifts Beneath the Moon

Solitary Westgate’s figure flickered and he arrived near Qin Yu. But before he could take him away, he was shaken back by a formidable strength.

Due to the backlash of the heart demon, Qin Yu’s consciousness had vanished into his body and all of his strength had instinctually erupted, attacking anyone that approached him. Taking a deep breath, Solitary Westgate turned around and said, “Supreme Seat, Yama, come here and help me take Qin Yu away from here.”

“Good!” Yama flew over.

The Supreme Seat’s eyes flashed with a strange color. He nodded and flew over.

Yama suddenly turned around. “Supreme Seat, although the three of us have our own differences and we struggle against each other, we all still belong to the Demonic Path. I hope you don’t do anything rash.”

The Supreme Seat had no expression. “There is no need for you to remind me.”

“Emperor Ying!” The Buddhist Nation Sovereign angrily roared.

Any plan, no matter how infallible, had a possibility of failing. So after laying down today’s great trap, they certainly had contingency plans ready if it were to fail. With the current situation having developed to this step, it had utterly surpassed their expectations. It was no longer possible to realize their hopes of destroying the Demonic Path, but they had to kill Qin Yu no matter what.

Bang –

Emperor Ying emerged from shattered space. Hearing the Buddhist Nation Sovereign’s shout, his eyebrows twitched. But, he soon composed himself. Taking a deep breath he roared out loud, “Where is the Great Qin Cavalry!?”

In the skies above there was suddenly the keening cry of a dragon. A golden national destiny dragon appeared. It roared out loud and flung its tail, immediately shattering space and revealing a massive six-sided star-shaped array formation. At this time, the six sides began to shine together, opening up and connection to a distant channel.

The Qin Empire Cavalry poured out without end. They all wore armor that spread down and covered their horses too. Their armor was black and red in color. With loud howls, the black and red colors on their armor began to burn together.

Each Qin Empire Cavalry was like a tiny fountainhead of strength. Like a hundred brooks gathering and converging into a great river, they condensed into an incomparably terrifying strength when united. This strength impacted into the heavens and turned a blood red spear that shot out towards Solitary Westgate, the Dark Night Supreme Seat, and Yama.

“Humph!” Solitary Westgate flicked his sleeves and the approaching blood red spear shattered. But, it didn’t completely vanish. The broken pieces combined together, forming a blood red cage that covered him.

Faces constantly emerged in the blood red cage. These were the faces of the Qin Empire Cavalry that rode in through the spatial channel!

The Dark Night Supreme Seat and Yama also faced similar situations.

Solitary Westgate coldly sneered, “You are seeking death!” He lifted a hand and punched out. Wild strength recklessly crashed into the blood red cage. The faces that appeared all over the cage revealed looks of pain.

In the endless Great Qin Cavalry below, some people suddenly revealed looks of pain. Blood gushed out from their mouths and noses, but they continued to remain as still as stone.

Solitary Westgate’s complexion turned ugly. “I want to see just how long you can last!”

He punched a second time.

Yama’s eyes were ice cold. “Supreme Seat, assist me in routing the Great Qin Cavalry!”

The Dark Night Supreme Seat said in a quiet voice, “I know.”

Bang –

Bang –

The two of them retaliated with swift and fierce attacks. But while Yama erupted with all her strength, the Dark Night Supreme Seat only used superficial attacks. Of course, his display was impeccable. Even Yama who was closely watching him sensed nothing wrong.

In resisting the attacks of three supreme beings, the Qin Empire Cavalry received more and more injuries. They had to pay a steep price to forcefully imprison three supreme beings to begin with, and now that they sustained such a terrifying barrage of attacks, they suffered disaster after disaster!

Bang –

Space shattered once more. Emperor Ying stepped out, his face dark and gloomy. He could ignore the deaths of the common people, even using the lives of billions of people as bait, working together with the monster race to guide the Zhao Empire and the Demonic Path into a trap.

But the Qin Empire Cavalry was the greatest military force of the nation, and it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that it was one of the cornerstones of the empire. It couldn’t be compared with the common people at all.

“My cavalry has already taken action, but they can only maintain this for a short period of time!”

Emperor Zhou’s voice was calm. “No matter who this woman is, if she is simultaneously suppressing the four of us, she must be suffering tremendous losses…she won’t be able to last much longer.”

“Emperor Ying, before we kill the Demon Sovereign, the Qin Empire Cavalry cannot retreat!” The Buddhist Nation Sovereign shouted out loud. “I promise to you, no matter how many losses the Qin Empire suffers, the Immortal Sect will repay you double!”

Suddenly, the moonlight swords chasing after the four of them stagnated for a moment. Although they quickly restored themselves, this brief interruption caused their eyes to brighten.

She wouldn’t be able to last much longer!

In fact, these four peak powerhouses weren’t wrong, and Emperor Zhou’s assumption was correct. It was true that Purple Moon had restored a tiny bit of her strength, but this wasn’t enough for her to maintain the state of Limitless Drifts Beneath the Moon for too long.

When the moonlight swords had paused just now, that was because she had used up too much strength and her reserves were running out. Her eyebrows gently furrowed together and she glanced at Qin Yu who had not yet awakened.

She believed that if she really couldn’t last any longer, that great Lord would arrive once more. But if that happened, her future would be greatly diminished.

What to do?

As Purple Moon was quietly worrying, and as the eyes of the Buddhist Nation Sovereign, Emperor Zhou, and the others were gradually brightening, a young and delicate voice sounded out in Purple Moon’s ears. “This is a good opportunity to gain favors and establish connections; how can big sister monopolize it all? You should give others a share too!”

Cosmic Seacross Bell.

Purple Moon’s expression relaxed. How could she have forgotten about this little kid? “If you want to help then hurry up. The marks on their bodies are about to fade away. If they do then I won’t be able to reform them.”

“I know, I know!”

Shua –

The Cosmic Seacross Bell appeared. With a flash, it submerged into Purple Moon’s body. The moment it did, the darkened moon phantom above her head immediately shined brighter.

The Buddhist Nation Sovereign just happened to see this happen. His chest ached and he stuffily humphed. Soul Summoning Bell…this was the Soul Summoning Bell he longed for in his dreams…

All of his past animosity swelled up in his heart and he clenched his teeth. In particular, when he saw Purple Moon’s aura stabilize, his complexion became even uglier.

Qin Yu had fallen into a backlash of his heart demon so killing him right now shouldn’t be difficult. However, once he woke up then that would no longer be possible. At that time, this plan that the Immortal Sect had used so much time and effort in setting up would be thoroughly ruined.

Time was of the essence!

Emperor Ying’s face darkened to the point where it seemed water would drip out. With every passing breath of time, the Qin Empire Cavalry suffered more and more injuries. If this took too long, then this world-renowned military force would be utterly destroyed.

Who cared if the Immortal Sect compensated him? Only after four generations of the Qin dynasty, through the collective efforts of the entire empire over tens of millions of years, were they able to build up the current Qin Empire Cavalry. To reconstruct this force was easier said than done.

Damn it all!

“Everyone, we cannot dodge forever! Although we cannot resist these moonlight swords, we must find a way to use up her strength!”

Emperor Ying shouted and punched out. Strength rushed forth like a raging river. Although this strength was instantly crushed by the moonlight sword, the halo of light around the sword also weakened a bit.

The Buddhist Nation Sovereign brought his hands together and Buddhist light erupted like a tsunami, sweeping over the world and covering the entirety of the surrounding space. As long as the moonlight sword entered this Buddhist light it would be suppressed and continuously lose strength.

Emperor Zhou’s methods were the strangest. At some time, gray smoke appeared around him. Although this smoke seemed thin and light, it possessed a horrifying corrosive strength. While the moonlight sword easily tore through the smoke, it couldn’t help but be contaminated by it and continuously corroded.

The Nether Domain Master finally managed to stabilize his injuries. Besides his extremely pale complexion, there were no traces of any other injuries. He waved his hand and the strength of the Netherworld billowed out, forming a dark fog that covered him.

Purple Moon furrowed her eyebrows. These people were indeed worthy of being characters that stood upon the peak of this world. They were all difficult to deal with.

These four people continued to evade like before. But, the losses from maintaining the state of Limitless Drifts Beneath the Moon rose several times over.

At this rate, even with the help of the Cosmic Seacross Bell, she wouldn't be able to last much longer.

Suddenly, Purple Moon’s eyebrows rose up as astonishment filled her eyes.

Hum –

The phantom of a blue sun appeared. It hung near the phantom of the moon. One was yin, one was yang, and yet their auras didn’t conflict at all. Instead they seemed to fuse together. To be more accurate, the blue sun’s aura was continuously fusing into the moon phantom, causing the light of the moon phantom to rise once more.

Whoosh –

Whoosh –

The speed of the moonlight swords rose and they began to issue keening sounds as they tore through the air. The Buddhist Nation Sovereign, the Nether Domain Master, Emperor Ying, and Emperor Zhou, were all doing their best to use up Purple Moon’s strength, and this sight caused them to widen their eyes. They almost cursed out loud. These fellows kept coming out one after another; did they really need to play this kind of game!?

Who knew how many other things were hidden in Qin Yu’s body. If there were still seven or eight more, then let alone killing him, they would die from exhaustion instead!

Within the strength of the Netherworld, the Nether Domain Master’s face was pale and covered with grief and indignation. He glared at Qin Yu, but unfortunately, looks couldn’t kill.

He didn’t want to admit it, but his instincts told him that all of today’s painstaking preparations would be lost like water in a bamboo basket.

In other words, they had lost the Black Sky Observer for nothing, and he was wounded for nothing!

Emperor Zhou’s eyes were cold enough to freeze the world. The more difficult it was to kill Qin Yu, the more restless his heart was. He knew he would suffer a great misfortune in the future.

The Sealed Stone World came from the inheritance of the War Clan and was the necessary turning point for him to attack a higher realm and change his destiny…originally, Emperor Zhou was confident in himself. Besides the coward hiding in there, no one could compete with him.

But now all of this confidence had disappeared.

A sudden feeling grew in Emperor Zhou’s heart. When he evaded the moonlight sword once more, he looked up at Qin Yu.

He was going to wake up! He was about to wake up!
