Chapter 486A - Cosmic Seacross Bell

Chapter 486A - Cosmic Seacross Bell

Throughout every opening of the Demon Ascension Gate, countless proud elites of heaven would bloom in full splendor and become the focus of attention from all sides, the most dazzling existences. The Blood Battle Demon God was a young super master who was chosen to enter the Demon Ascension Gate this time. This person’s exact origins were unknown, but it was rumored that some formidable rogue demonic cultivator had recommended him. His mortal body was extremely tyrannical. On the martial field, he had once been besieged by four young masters of the same cultivation level, but in the end slayed them all.

That battle was also the battle that gave the Blood Battle Demon God his name and fame. According to trusted sources, this person had awakened some demonic bloodline that had a slaughter-attribute and his Demon Body cultivation had reached a high level. He was a rarely seen demonic path genius!

“Greetings. I am Zuo Lanyue.” The Blood Battle Demon God cupped his hands together.

Qin Yu responded in kind. “Yao Bin.”

Zuo Lanyue said, “This wonder stone is highly important to me. If you are willing to give up on it, I would be deeply grateful. If fellow daoist Yao has need for anything in the future, I will try my best to help you.”

This was a promise. Moreover, it was a promise that came from the Blood Battle Demon God, someone who had been recognized by the entire younger generation as being a super expert. His future achievements were bound to be limitless. So, this promise could be called incredibly precious. It could even prove to be unimaginably useful in the future.

And in any case, there was no deep and profound meaning behind these words. In short, it was: I have already stated clearly that this wonder stone is greatly important to me. If you yield to me, then I will owe you a favor. If you don’t…hum hum, I fear we can only be enemies!

To be targeted by someone like the Blood Battle Demon God wasn’t an easy burden to bear. No matter how arrogant a person was, when facing this possible threat, they would have to carefully consider the situation.

Zuo Lanyue’s expression was calm, no embarrassment on his face. In his life, what he chased after was the summit of the Great Dao. As long as there was something that could make him stronger, the method to obtain it didn’t matter.

Countless eyes fell on Qin Yu. They thought that as a mere first or second level Blue Sea, how could he dare be enemies with the Blood Battle Demon God? No matter how many spirit stones he had, he would probably have to bow his head in defeat.

Sin Zifu’s eyes brightened, his heart full of excitement. Luckily he had been smart enough and stopped ahead of time. If he continued his act, the one finding it difficult to escape this dilemma might have been him instead.

Surname Yao, aren’t you epic? Aren’t you amazing? How about you become enemies with the Blood Battle Demon God! If you dare to do so, I will submit to you!

The gloomy-faced cultivator stiffened, a cold sweat beginning to form on his forehead. Who would have imagined that the person he repeatedly provoked was the ruthless Blood Battle Demon God?

Fortunately, this person didn’t seem to be willing to lower themselves to his level, otherwise his fate would surely be miserable.

Qin Yu had a calm expression. He stared at Zuo Lanyue’s purple eyes and said, “I don't know you, so there is no need to care about face between you and me. Since we are competing publicly, if fellow daoist Zuo feels unwilling, then you may continue to increase the price.”

This was refusal, refusal without any room for debate.

Zuo Lanyue frowned. “Fellow daoist Yao, must things be this way?”

Qin Yu lightly said, “It’s not what I want, but it is the reality of the situation.”

Zuo Lanyue’s purple eyes turned sharp. “Today, no matter who can give me that wonder stone, they can obtain 100 million spirit stones and my promise of a favor!”

The entire crowd was blown into an uproar!

This was the same as placing a bounty on Qin Yu’s head.

No one imagined that the Blood Battle Demon God would be so cruel and overbearing in his actions.

If you don’t agree with me, then you are my enemy! Things will never be over between us until one of us dies!

That’s right, this was a life or death blood grudge. From the moment he spoke, he was doomed to become Qin Yu’s arch nemesis.

Zuo Lanyue turned and walked away. The crowd parted ways, fearing that he would vent his anger on them.

A killing intent flashed in Qin Yu’s eyes before he coldly sneered and composed himself. Who cared about a ridiculous Blood Demon blah blah God. Since this was something the Soul Summoning Bell desired so earnestly, how could it be useless? Qin Yu could clearly sense the cold and covetous gazes on him, but he didn’t fear them at all.

If someone wanted to obtain this reward, they could come and try. As for what the result would be, they would find out for themselves.

After paying with a spirit stone card, Qin Yu obtained the wonder stone. This stone was the size of an adult’s fist, but its weight was incredible. No wonder the stone had caused people to compete for it. However, perhaps besides Zuo Lanyue, it was likely no one knew what secret was hidden in it.

When Qin Yu held this stone in his hand, he couldn’t sense anything unusual about it at all. He turned and walked out of the crowd. Although his steps didn’t seem fast, he soon vanished from the billowing streams of people in a few blinks of the eye.

Sun Zifu’s complexion was cloudy and uncertain.

Zhou Fenghuang looked into the distance crowd, a trace of hesitation on her charming face. She always felt that she had seen this cultivator before. Yao Bin…no matter how much she wracked her memories she couldn’t think where she had encountered this name before. Then, she shook her head inwardly, suppressing the thought.

She glanced towards Sun Zifu. When she saw his current expression, her eyes flashed and she chuckled, “Young sir Sun, could it be that you have thoughts of pulling the Blood Battle Demon God to your side?”

Sun Zifu shook his head. “If I seize that wonder stone, I might be able to obtain a favorable impression from Zuo Lanyue and draw him to be my subordinate. But, with that person’s talent and strength, he will almost assuredly pass the Demon Ascension Gate. His future achievements will be unimaginable. Although the Sun Family is strong, we won’t necessarily be able to control him.” After a short pause he continued, “Moreover, that Yao Bin isn’t a common person either. If I were to try and take that wonder stone from his hands, I might meet with disaster instead.”

Zhou Fenghuang covered her mouth and tittered. “Young sir Sun’s words are indeed logical!” A strange color flashed in the depths of her eyes.

Qin Yu returned to his dwelling. He directly summoned Ninth Province and borrowed its strength to isolate the inside from outside. Then, he turned his hand and took out the wonder stone. Without any need for stimulation, the deeply slumbering Soul Summoning Bell flew out from his soul space. With a flash of light, the figure of a little girl appeared.

Her eyes widened. Then, with a pleasantly surprised expression, she cheered and threw herself forward. She held the wonder stone in her arms, looked down…and then…

Kacha –

Kacha –

The crisp sounds of biting rang out. Qin Yu watched her clear and small teeth moving and black lines suddenly formed on his forehead. He had inspected the wonder stone just before and also experimented with it a little. This wonder stone was bewilderingly hard, so hard that even with his current strength it would be difficult to leave a mark on it.

But what was he seeing now? A five or six year old little girl was holding this stone and taking great flavorful bites of it…those teeth must be amazing!

But then, he thought about how this little girl’s main body was the supreme treasure Soul Summoning Bell and how her consciousness was from the golden soul of nothingness from that terrifying different world. With these thoughts in mind, Qin Yu was able to accept this no matter how abnormal it was.

But when he looked at this little girl taking big bites without any appearance of weariness or exhaustion, it was hard not to suspect that her previous ‘deep sleep’ was only an act.

“What is this stone?”

“Mm…mm…it’s delicious!”

“I’m asking you a question.”

“Delicious…so delicious…”

Qin Yu’s eyebrow arched up. He looked at this silly little girl that was obviously putting on an act and ignoring him.

Did you really think there was nothing I could do to you?

He reached out and plucked the wonder stone from her hand.

“What are you doing!” The little girl panicked. She opened her mouth and forcefully bit down on the stone. She hung in mid-air, making threatening gestures with her hands.

Qin Yu was expressionless. “The Soul Summoning Bell is mine, and I was the one who rescued you from a different world. This stone was also purchased by me…but right now, I still don’t know what you are. Don’t you think that’s a bit too excessive? Answer my question, otherwise I promise you that not only will you not be able to eat this stone, but you can give up any idea of me helping you again in the future.”

The little girl’s glare was fierce and brutal. If looks could kill, Qin Yu would already have been torn to tatters. Unfortunately, to Qin Yu, her glare was completely useless.

“I’ll give you ten breaths of time to consider it. I won’t repeat myself.”

The little girl bitterly stared at Qin Yu.

“Six breaths of time.

“Three breaths.

“One.”

Kacha –

The little girl bit off the piece of stone in her mouth and fell to the ground. “You bastard, consider yourself ruthless enough!”
