Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1814 – Burning Incense Power

Chapter 1814 – Burning Incense Power

Sea King Island.

Qin Yu’s eyes flung open and shone brilliantly…finally! He stepped forward and in the next moment, his body appeared above the clouds.

Boom –

Space crumbled apart as the East Sea Nation Emperor walked out. Behind him were War God Yama and Fantasy Sword God. A scary, suppressive force accompanied them and Sea King Island immediately went silent. Everyone was wide-eyed.

“You are the new Sea King? How bold!” The East Sea Nation Emperor yelled, “You want me to give up half of my land and people? I will crush you today and break apart your Great Dao!”

War God stepped ahead and pressed his hand down. A vast and mighty force that seemed unrestrainable like the divine mountains of the heavens had fallen down, enveloped Qin Yu. Gold markings appeared in space and flickered continuously. Each of them representeda heaven and earth rule.

This was the human cultivation way that was starkly different from barbarians and the Desolate men. They cultivated heaven and earth rules and fused them into their bodies, turning them into small worlds that would continuously be refined. Although their cultivation realms was similar to those of barbarians and Desolate men, there were huge differences between them.

Fantasy Sword God unsheathed her sword. She did not hesitate to attack at the same time as War God. Her sword swung down and the heaven and earth rules abided by her will, turning it into streaks of invisible sword aura. Rushing over from all directions, the sword aura created a small, concentrated attacking area that would unleash the greatest amount of force.

An illusionary sword shadow was projected in the air. The moment it appeared, it flashed and closed down on Qin Yu immediately, targeting his head.

The teamwork between the two True Kings was perfect and a cold glare flashed past the East Sea Nation Emperor’s eyes. This new Sea King would not be able to run today and he was destined for death. He raised his arm and created a seal that isolated the world in front of him. This was a precautionary measure to prevent Qin Yu from fleeing.

Buzz –

A sword hum came. The person whose expression changed first was Fantasy Sword God. Shock flickered in her eyes and without hesitation, she retracted her sword to block the blow. There was a deafening explosion as she was slammed backward. The illusionary sword projection in space now had a gaping hole in it. It started to break down from this hole and within seconds, it was gone.

Blood spurted out of Fantasy Sword God’s mouth and her dream-like features shook, “One step into the Eternal realm!” One sword strike had sent her flying with heavy injuries. She had no way to stop it, and only a powerful elite in the King realm who was one step into the Eternal realm could achieve this. This new Sea King could enter the Eternal realm within a hundred years to transform into a powerful Longevity Species.

War God’s face changed and his frown deepened. A resolute determination could be seen in his cold but hard expression. He did not retreat in fear because Fantasy War God had been thrown back. It was not that he was confident to go against someone in the Eternal realm but multiple years of experience in battles told him that there was no point in panicking; it would only quicken his death.

The East Sea Nation Emperor had already taken measures to use the nation’s mark to suppress him. Even someone who was one step into the Eternal realm would not be able to escape easily. They still had a chance…at most, they would put this operation on hold temporarily and try again later.

With a loud shout, War God Yama’s body tightened up and his skin turned bright red. Waves of steam emerged from him and his heartbeat quickened. He had unleashed all his strength to suppress Qin Yu.

However, right at this moment, his expression fell. Qin Yu threw a punch forward. This punch did not seem fierce and space did not vibrate at all, but Yama heard a deafening explosion that sounded like a ten thousand foot long drum!

Ptui –

Blood spurted out of his mouth and he felt dizzy as his vision blurred. The golden markings around Qin Yu started to crumble apart. In front of his fist, they were like shallow ripples on the surface of water and they were insignificant to him.

The reason why War God had suffered a heavy injury was because Qin Yu’s blow to destroy the golden markings was also a direct pounding on War God’s Great Dao!

In the Eternal Sea’s Mutant World, although Qin Yu did not absorb the power of the Ancient Clan to become the king, he had awakened abilities of the Ancient Clan. Many years ago, the Ancient Clan did not cultivate any Divine Ways. In front of their enemies, their fists were their most powerful weapon and their best offense. Every attack was supplemented by the Ancient Clan’s innate abilities and they directly attacked their opponents’ source of power.

With one sword strike and one blow, Fantasy Sword God and War God Yama were both heavily injured. The East Sea Nation Emperor was enraged and his eyes started to quiver. He suddenly began to question his decision to descend to Sea King Island today. However, things had progressed to this state and there was no way to turn back on his decision. If they did not suppress the new Sea King today, the East Sea Nation would welcome Qin Yu’s wrath and vengeance!

“True Kings, I will burn nation fate to forcefully suppress the new Sea King. Take the chance to kill him!” The East Sea Nation Emperor shouted. Without hesitation, he tightened his fist and the surface of the nation’s mark exploded, turning into a brilliant flame.

Qin Yu’s eyes brightened and he was gleeful. The burning flame on the nation’s mark was incense power. In other words, the ignited incense that Qin Yu had always dreamt of was right in front of him.

The suppressive force from the nation’s mark surged wildly at this moment. It felt like ten thousand mountains had fallen on him, sealing him underneath them. It was continuously tightening and squeezing him! For this amount of power, any True King would be hugely influenced.

War God Yama and Fantasy Sword God exchanged a look. They took a deep breath before they both stepped forward.

Shoosh –

Their bodies teleported at the same time and they threw a fist and a sword slash to kill Qin Yu. Right at this moment, there was the clang of a bell and the two True Kings were momentarily stunned. Qin Yu had raised the Mountains and Rivers Sword and slashed it down instantly. The nation’s mark suppression on him had not been effective and no one had expected this.

“Ah!” With a scream, War God Yama’s blood painted the sky. One of his arms had been chopped off and his face was pale. His powers came from his physical body and with the loss of an arm, it was equivalent to the loss of one third of his strength. Horror flooded his eyes.

Not only had Qin Yu’s sword unleashed unbelievable power, but that dark red light in his eyes was now causing War God Yama’s heart to beat nervously.

Demonic Possession!

However, for Qin Yu today, Demonic Possession was no longer something that endangered his life. It had turned into a power that he could control and it was almost a transformation of himself. Under Demonic Possession, there would be a rapid toll on his body but he would be able to possess a powerful strength.

In fact, based on cultivation realm alone, Qin Yu was only in the beginning realm of the King realm. He had stepped onto the path of Incense Great Dao, and although it had not completely ignited, it still strongly supplemented his strength. Coupled with the Mountains and Rivers Sword, Demonic Possession allowed him to showcase devastating strength. Not to forget that the Cosmic Seacross Bell and the little blue lamp were also helping him.

With his sword in hand, Qin Yu stepped forward. He did not hesitate to slash the sword down on War God Yama. He would take his life while he was disabled. Against three True Kings who he was not familiar with, he would not take any risks.

Ding –

The Cosmic Seacross Bell rang again and War God Yama shrieked in fear, “Fantasy Sword God, save me!” As he cried, he desperately threw a punch forward. He had thrown all his strength into this last blow, the strongest attack by a True King turned all clouds within a kilometer into dust. Below him, the sea instantly turned turbulent.

Fantasy Sword God urgently slashed down. She had a good relationship with War God Yama. Under the current dire circumstances, they were in the same boat and they would be dragged down together. If War God was heavily injured or killed, she would not be able to run. All True Kings understood this logic.

However, the moment she unleashed her sword, her expression fell again. She had expected that Qin Yu would target War God, but this did not happen. The sword strike that Qin Yu had used against War God was a fake move and it was destroyed by War God’s punch. It was obvious that it was a fake move based on Qin Yu’s strength. So what was his true goal?

Fantasy Sword God grunted and the sword in her hands lit up, shining with a brilliant sword aura that swept out in all directions. This sword aura encapsulated her within, protecting her from any sneak attacks. However, no collision ever happened. Instead, she heard angered cries from the East Sea Nation Emperor.

Shoosh –

Qin Yu’s body flashed ahead and the Mountains and Rivers Sword sliced through the air at a weird angle. A brilliant ball of yellow light burst out and a massive dragon’s projection came out from it. However, the moment it struck the Mountains and Rivers Sword, it was pierced through pathetically.

The East Sea Nation Emperor backed off in an exhausted manner. His clothes were disheveled at his chest area and there was a large hole in them. Sword aura had ruined them and as blood poured out of him, the sword aura continuously assaulted the revealed flesh. It created piercing pain and the emperor’s face twisted in pain.

His sword returned to his hands and Qin Yu did not continue the killing. He teleported in front of the nation’s mark and grabbed it.

“Little blue lamp!”

He yelled.

Back then, Rourou knew how to manipulate the West Desolate’s nation fate to help Qin Yu’s Divine Nation. With how powerful and mysterious the little blue lamp was, there was no way he would not know how to either!

Since the burning incense power was in front of him, could he return empty-handed? Killing was not important. More essential for him was to find out how to ignite Incense Great Dao. This was the reason why Qin Yu had crossed the Eternal Sea to come here.

With the nation’s mark in hand, pain shot down to his bones and it felt like his hand was gripping a clump of burning coal. On the surface, his flesh appeared alright, but the pain was targeted at Qin Yu’s soul. This made the pain levels were more than ten or a hundred times worse! Despite his determination and will, Qin Yu turned pale.

“I hear you. Hang on for a while.” The little blue lamp’s voice echoed in his mind and the pain lessened significantly. Although he did not know how the East Sea Nation Emperor ignited incense power, he would definitely have huge gains by capturing and devouring it.

Qin Yu took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the nation’s mark. He grunted in pain.

Having escaped from death, War God Yama and the scared Fantasy Sword God teleported a distance away. They arrived beside the East Sea Nation Emperor and they were immediately crestfallen when they saw what was happening. Their first thought was – Qin Yu was seeking death! After nation fate was ignited by the burning flame it was known as the nine fires of hell for human cultivators. It could refine all things in this world and destroy them.

By directly touching it with his physical body, the cultivator’s soul would be ignited when the nine fire of hell entered him. There was no question that this would result in death. Eternal realm beings could not even resist it and they would be burned alive bit by bit.

The East Sea Nation Emperor’s face was pale and he had one hand over the wound on his chest. Through gritted teeth, he shouted, “You are seeking death!” Yet, there was joy in his eyes. He did not know why Qin Yu made such a foolish move, but this was not important. The three of them may not have been able to escape today, and even if they had managed to escape…what would have happened to the great East Sea Nation? Qin Yu would have come at them again.

Now, this was the best outcome!

How could the East Sea Nation Emperor give up on the chance to have Qin Yu burnt alive? He activated his mind and roared, “Burn! Burn fiercely, ignite his soul and send him to hell!”

Boom –

The flames of the nation’s mark exploded. The East Sea Nation Emperor no longer cared about the toll on the nation’s fate. The devastating tongue of the flame grew thicker in the next instant but the flames were not bright red. Instead, a hint of white could be seen in them. It did nothing to space and external objects and it was only effective against living creatures. Simply put, all incense power that was being burned was concentrating its force on Qin Yu. It was like an opened mouth that would swallow him whole!

The pain that Qin Yu suffered surged a hundred times stronger. Now, it wasn’t just his two hands, but his entire body was shoved and being refined by the fire. Through gritted teeth, he yelled, “Are you done?”

The little blue lamp answered, “Soon, bear with it a little longer.”

Far in the distance, in the world that the little blue lamp constructed, the sun shone down on a single grass on a mountain peak. Wild winds blew fiercely but it did not affect the grass at all. The leaves were unmoving and each one of them seemed to weigh a million pounds.

All of a sudden, as though it sensed something, the little grass enlarged. The mountain was shattered apart into numerous pieces of stone. The mountain was actually just a small stone that had been suspended from the grass. After it was destroyed, the real roots of the grass were revealed. They stretched a few kilometers long and covered the skies.

The green-colored grass appeared very lustrous now and there was a grand aura around it. There was a sharp whistling sound as it pierced through the heavens. Then, a large ‘boom’ came – the skies were broken through!

The grass continued to grow and the leaves that pierced through the sky stretched towards another world.

In the seas near the Eternal Sea, Qin Yu saw as a few leaves emerged from the empty space. Incense power was still burning while the leaves enthusiastically circled him. Then, they dispersed quickly and enclosed Qin Yu’s body within them. From afar, Qin Yu looked like a green dumpling.

The terrifying burning feeling was instantly gone but Qin Yu could not relax. Instead, his expression turned serious. In his soul space, a flame had landed on his soul. Although he did not know what would happen if the flame burned his soul, he had a feeling that it would not be good.

Meimei’s face flushed red and she turned to disappear. On the surface of the Cosmic Seacross Bell, the purple dragon roared and circled continuously. Looking carefully at it, one could see streaks of flames on the dragon’s scales that were folding in two. It seemed as though something was being born through the flames.

As Qin Yu saw this, he came to a realization. The Cosmic Seacross Bell that the Ancient Clan created in the past was made from incense power. However, there was a new problem. If the Ancient Clan had ignited incense, how did they end up in a catastrophe?
