Chapter 584C – The Good Fortune Already Has a Master

The golden sword was like a bolt of lightning, tearing through the endless skies. It tore apart the wildly destructive strength in its way.

It continued straight in…and couldn’t move any further.

Zhan Lingtian’s bright eyes then darkened. The dazzling sword in his hands began to slowly collapse.

The entirety of his source was integrated into this sword. There was no more strength left in him.

His field of vision flashed black. Like falling into an icy cave, a frosty chill penetrated through every pore of his body, leaving him feeling incomparably cold.

His entire body froze solid and his blood nearly came to a standstill. Even his thoughts slowed down.

Zhan Lingtian took a deep breath. As air entered his chest, all he felt was a deep stabbing pain as if he were inhaling glass. He stayed tall and straight, a solemn look in his eyes. He had to maintain this honorable appearance, watching as his opponent died with the utmost respect.

This was indeed the strongest person he had ever fought with in his life. No wonder His Majesty Emperor Zhou had ignited his source.

If it weren’t for that, then he might not have the qualifications to stand in front of this person. To kill him really was a stroke of luck. The only thing Zhan Lingtian regretted was that he hadn’t learned their name.

However, Zhan Lingtian didn’t expect that his opponent would be so powerful. This was because not only did he occupy the advantage here, but he also had help from Emperor Zhou.

This atmosphere of dominating the world and controlling all was the key point for condensing the Ancient Demon Body.

Qin Yu stared at the golden bolt of light cutting his way. There was no regret in his heart; all he could do was curse. Hey, you are already going to die, so why are you trying so hard? Can’t you just die peacefully and quietly?

His soul screamed and his body was incomparably stiff. Only a single thought raced through his mind: he absolutely could not touch that sword. But how could things be so simple? At the very least, Qin Yu discovered that he couldn’t dodge it at all.

If he couldn’t dodge then he could only collide with it, even if he knew that colliding with the sword would only mean death.

To touch it was to die but waiting also meant he would die…what should he do? With Qin Yu’s character, there was no need to speak of this anymore.

Moreover, this concerned more than his life alone.

There was still a woman outside being held captive by the decayed corpse. She was waiting for him to return.

If he were to die, she would have her neck twisted and would even be eaten up in great chewy bites.

That was a truly unpleasant image. Just thinking of it, Qin Yu’s eyes reddened a little.

Even now he couldn’t figure out what he was thinking. Was there something wrong with his head? Why did he unexpectedly place so much importance on a woman?

Whatever. Life or death was right in front of him and Qin Yu couldn’t lie to himself any longer…it was just that there was no meaning in thinking about these things anymore.

I cannot die here.

Qin Yu looked up at the golden bolt of light headed his way. He repeated to himself, “I cannot die.”

In this world, you either lived or you died.

Since he couldn’t die, then he could only live. This wasn’t nonsense, but a deep faith that Qin Yu kept firm in his mind.

Roar –

A deep roar originated from deep in his chest. Then, it rumbled forth from his throat and out of his giant mouth, arriving in this world.

Qin Yu’s heart accelerated to an unprecedented speed. A vast and boundless strength gushed out from his weary body once more.

This strength was so formidable that he felt he couldn’t contain it. He needed to release it.

He lifted a hand. Facing the golden bolt of light that raced towards him like a meteor in the night sky, he punched out. The ancient demon was born to support the heavens and earth and wouldn’t fall even after its death. Even though Qin Yu faced death, he could still issue one final resistance!

Qin Yu’s desire to live had stimulated the ancient demon’s true strength. Although he wasn’t a true ancient demon, he had inherited the will of the ancient demon.

Emperor Zhou’s eyes brightened. He had an 80% assurance before, but now this junior was actually able to activate the essence energy and will of the ancient demon. This could be called perfection.

Now there was only one final step remaining. Then, he could borrow this strength and break free from his shackles, leaving this world and returning to where he needed to be.

Although he had no idea who set up today’s arrangements and had plotted for such a long time, weren’t they just too overly confident in themselves? Did they really think things would go according to how they planned?

This good fortune in front of him was indeed so great that it was astonishing, and it was true that even he was tempted by it. But if he really could take it, he would have taken it before he had fallen into slumber. It was laughable that someone wanted to use this to trick him.

But this was also fine. If it weren’t for people making moves in the shadows, it wouldn’t have been so easy for him to withdraw.

The golden bolt of light tore through the ancient demon’s chest. Blood erupted, dyeing the air red. Qin Yu wanted to widen his eyes, but he couldn’t control his actions at all. His consciousness rapidly fell into darkness.

In the next moment, the virtual world collapsed. Emperor Zhou’s undying will which had maintained it, suddenly slammed into the pool of soup below like a great hammer.

Hum –

A trembling feel appeared. As it arrived, it was accompanied by an aura that seemed to freeze the body and soul.

The decayed corpse looked up. A memory fragment blew open in the depths of his mind.

He widened his eyes and fled. He finally remembered what he had forgotten.

Good fortune…this was indeed a great good fortune…but it didn’t belong here, nor did it belong to anyone in this world…

Damn it! Damn it all!

Shen Yuanyin’s eyes fell on Qin Yu. When the decayed corpse ran away, blood flowed out from the corners of her mouth and she broke free of her imprisonment.

She took several steps forward and leapt up from the mountain peak. Her white clothes fluttered in the wind about her as she reached out a hand and grabbed the unconscious Qin Yu against her.

Suddenly, a formidable traction strength erupted from the pool of soup. Shen Yuanyin furrowed her eyebrows together. She looked down at the slumbering Qin Yu in her arms and after a brief moment of hesitation, slowly closed her eyes.

In the next moment, an absolute cold erupted. A massive ball of ice formed in the void, sealing the two within.

Dong –

The ice ball fell into the pool of soup, instantly vanishing from sight.

…

Deep below the earth, spirit veins gathered from all directions. At this moment, they all began to tremble as they released a dazzling light.

These lights wove together in the air. A blurry face appeared.

Shua –

Two eyes opened. They were cold and indifferent with any fluctuations of emotion. They were like the eyes of a god looking down from his throne.

“Wait and die.”

A low and deep voice cracked out like a peal of thunder, carrying with it an irresistible momentum.

Hum –

Invisible fluctuations erupted. Wherever it passed, everything was annihilated. It wasn’t exactly destroyed, but rather all vitality was erased.

“Ahh!”

Terrifying screams echoed out one after another. Looks of horror began to appear on the faces of these old monsters that had slept for countless years.

They instinctively realized that perhaps their lives would come to a thorough end today.

Emperor Zhou grasped out a hand. The fainted Zhan Lingtian appeared behind him.

Then, he shouted out loud. A phantom of nine dragons suddenly appeared and the aura of a transcendent emperor erupted.

Within the Land of Divinity and Demons, across the vast expanse of endless miles, the phantom of nine dragons appeared at almost the same time.

Their bodies were so vast and long that all lives in the world could look up and see them.

They subsequently felt terror and awe in their hearts, as if what they faced was the sovereign king who wielded life and death.

Great Zhou might have fallen tens of millions of years ago, but as the only super nation that had been able to unify the world since ancient times, there was still a portion of their national destiny that had yet to dissipate.

This nine dragon phantoms that was activated across the Land of Divinity and Demons was the last accumulated karma of the Great Zhou Empire.

Roar –

Roar –

The nine dragons reared back their heads and roared!

Outside the pool of soup, invisible fluctuations arrived. The nine dragon phantoms around Emperor Zhou cried out together, turning into sparkling lights that disappeared.

But their destruction bought time for Emperor Zhou. Although his complexion paled and his aura had weakened by over half, he had managed to preserve his life.

He looked up. The solid Ying Capital great array formation was now violently shaking.

Kacha –

Kacha –

On the surface, massive cracks began to appear!

Emperor Zhou took a step out. He carried Zhan Lingtian and Lin Weiwei with him and instantly vanished from sight.

In the skies above Ying Capital, the nine dragon phantoms that caused countless cultivators to feel shocked had already collapsed and vanished.

But before they could relax, the originally sunny skies immediately darkened and clouded over. Thunder rumbled in the skies, as if crackling down.

A wild voice erupted and blotted out the skies, carrying with it an aura of fear and despair.

It was like the heavens were collapsing…

The entirety of Ying Capital seemed to be on the precipice of the rocking waves. It was like a terrifying life form was about to crawl out from deep below.

Then, on the magnificent and seemingly indestructible city walls, cracks appeared. They spread out like a spider web, reaching every corner.

The mighty elite imperial army that stood upon the city walls turned deathly pale. This included even the generals and all other officers.

They had no idea what was happening. But, they knew what the city walls meant to Ying Capital’s great array. They were a major part of Ying Capital and were supported by the array formation. Even if a million bolts of heavenly thunder were to strike down, they wouldn’t suffer any damage.

It was exactly because of this that the sight left them feeling even more panic-stricken!

There was a problem with Ying Capital’s great array? How was this possible!?

Within the Emperor’s Palace, the Great Chu Emperor Mi Ganyuan suddenly released an angry roar.

Bang –
