Chapter 615 – So It Was Like This
Outside Thistle Capital.
The Immortal Executing Sword Array shook the heavens and earth. A terrifying curtain of a million sword lights howled about, an all-destructive aura flowing out from them. Severing Immortal, Extinguishing Immortal, Slaughtering Immortal, Slaying Immortal…these were four peerless divine swords. It was not known where they came from but each one had cut down a trillion lives, serving as murder weapons of the world.
Because the killing intent was too heavy, the four divine swords had changed. Their nearly endless destructive strength had become even more terrifying after being stimulated.
Moreover, the ones personally commanding the Immortal Executing Sword Array were four old monsters who struggled to live on in this world and refused to die. Each one of them was an extremely tyrannical existence even within the Calamity Immortal realm.
And with the addition of the Yan Emperor, the Immortal Executing Sword Array was now supported by the strength of Great Yan’s national destiny true dragon, causing the sword formation’s power to rise to a new level.
But the most terrifying was still the actions of the two world supremes. Within the stretch of the world that had been imprisoned, the towering Buddha phantom seemed to support the heavens. It pressed a single hand downwards, covering the sword curtain.
A mighty buddhist light flew into the sword curtain, making strings of scriptures appear within the sword lights.
This was the holy scripture ‘Rebirth’ that the Buddhist Nation used to cleanse specters. Now, it was being used to deliver last rites to the Demonic Path’s Holy Monarch.
The land beneath the sword curtain began to collapse a bit at a time. A pitch black nothingness appeared, as if it were a tunnel leading to the abyssal hells.
A yin chill aura of despair was constantly released, causing a deep black color to appear on the edges of the sword lights.
The buddhist scriptures strengthened the sword lights, giving them a qualitative transformation. The aura of the abyss gave the sword lights an even more terrifying tearing ability. Although it seemed common, the might of the entire sword formation rose ten times over!
If an ordinary Calamity Immortal were trapped within this current Immortal Executing Sword Array, it would take at most a breath of time for them to be twisted and torn into pieces.
On the surface of the black, purple, and golden imperial carriage, endless divine light erupted. The lights wove together, turning into a spinning vortex that resisted the destructive strength outside.
Qin Yu stood up straight. He held You Qi against his chest. He could feel the warmth of her breath. Perhaps because of the heavy pressure outside, her face was pale.
He didn’t want to admit it, but he had no choice but to. Deep within his heart, there existed a faint glimmer of hope that all of this was a fantasy…perhaps she would appear…perhaps everything that happened was just a lie…
You Qi looked up at Qin Yu. Although he had no expression on his face, she could sense the thoughts lurking deep in his mind…
There was a bit of bitterness in her eyes. Even now, Qin Yu couldn’t thoroughly forget her. But then she gently sighed. If he really was a person who could forget someone so easily, he wouldn’t be Qin Yu.
Crack –
Crack –
The three-colored vortex began to tremble. Even if this imperial carriage was a precious treasure of the Holy Palace, it could only resist the outside forces for a moment.
You Qi didn’t know about the existence of the Spectral Disaster projection. In her eyes, death was about to come and take her. She hugged tightly onto Qin Yu. At this time, she even felt some pride. This was because the one that had accompanied this man until the very end…would be her.
Ning Ling, whether you truly exist or are nothing but a dream, I haven’t lost to you!
A warmth spread across his face, carrying with it the soft fragrance of breath. Qin Yu revealed a look of surprise. He looked down at You Qi who was avoiding his eyes and said, “Are you trying to comfort me?”
He paused and then continued, “But I said that we won’t die here. From now on, it would be best if you don’t complain about me taking advantage of you.”
His voice was calm, but there seemed to be a large pile of stones heaped up on Qin Yu’s chest. Every breath he took was difficult.
She hadn’t appeared.
This was within reason…
Qin Yu took a deep breath and looked up. His eyes pierced through the three-colored vortex to fall upon the endless sword curtain.
An intuition suddenly appeared in his heart. Something told him that the Dao Arena Master should have moved by now.
Before this thought ended, a strange voice echoed in his ears. “Demon Sovereign, my master would like to ask you when you want to begin?”
Qin Yu glanced over. But the moment he made his decision, another accident appeared outside Thistle Capital.
Space rippled and Shen Yuanyin stepped out. There was infinite dignity on her indifferent face.
A cold aura blotted out the skies as it swept out, immediately flooding the world. The skies darkened and a blizzard began to fall.
The Yan Emperor’s pupils shrank. With shocked anger he rooted his feet into the ground. Behind him, a massive barrier shot up into the skies around Thistle Capital, protecting everything inside.
In the next moment, snowflakes gently drifted down and touched the surface of the barrier. With light cracking sounds, traces of freezing energy began to appear.
If it weren’t for the protection of the great array, all life within Thistle Capital would perish beneath this heavy snowfall…this was the true terror of a supreme existence of this world!
“Palace Master, what is the meaning of this!?” The Yan Emperor roared in question.
Shen Yuanyin lightly said, “Withdraw Great Yan’s national destiny, otherwise I will annihilate the entirety of Thistle Capital. You should know that I will not repeat myself.”
The Yan Emperor’s complexion paled. “Palace Master, I need a reason!”
Shen Yuanyin lifted a hand. Black clouds surged wildly above Thistle Capital and a terrifying cold aura arrived.
The Buddhist Nation Sovereign turned around. “Palace Master, do not forget that you are one of the three heads of the Immortal Sect. Do you plan on becoming enemies with us because of the Demon Sovereign?”
Shen Yuanyin’s expression didn’t change. Her palm slowly fell down. In that instant, the entire barrier surrounding Thistle Capital was bound in ice.
The temperature beneath the barrier began to drastically fall. Faint traces of blue frost started to rapidly spread through Thistle Capital.
The Yan Emperor roared. “Stop!” He clenched his teeth. As he did, the golden dragon phantom howled out from the shadows of the sword curtain, separating from it.
He didn’t doubt that Shen Yuanyin really could destroy the entirety of Thistle Capital. This was because…she was the master of Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace!
The Buddhist Nation Sovereign furrowed his eyebrows. An infernal slaughter energy suddenly appeared in the eyes of the heaven-supporting Buddha phantom.
Kacha –
Kacha –
A cold layer of frost appeared on the surface of the Buddha phantom. Shen Yuanyin’s white dress began to stir in the wind.
The Nether Domain Master stepped forward between the two. “That’s enough. Do you want to be responsible for a civil war in the Immortal Sect?”
“Humph!” The Buddhist Nation Sovereign coldly said, “You will have to ask the Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace Master this.”
Shen Yuanyin was unaffected. “Let the Demon Sovereign leave. As for what happens after today, I will not interfere again.”
The Nether Domain Master looked deeply at her. “Good, I hope that Palace Master can abide by your promise today.”
The meaning behind his words was clear. He wouldn’t allow a similar situation like this to happen again. Even if she was a supreme being of the world, she couldn’t truly act completely unfettered.
The Immortal Sect had entrusted them with unsurpassed power, influence, and status. But at the same time this also served as their shackles, making it so that they couldn't do something that truly endangered the Immortal Sect.
Shen Yuanyin nodded. She took a step forward and like a shadow, she tore into the sword curtain, entering it.
Atop the three-colored imperial carriage, Qin Yu stood in silence. When he saw Shen Yuanyin emerge from the sword curtain a look of joy flashed in his eyes.
“I knew that you would come.”
Shen Yuanyin had an indifferent expression. “The reason I helped you is because in my samsara I once received the benevolence of the Demon Sovereign. From this point on, you and I no longer have any connection to each other.”
Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows together. “Within the Immortal Sect’s world, you already helped me once. So, I won’t believe this reason.”
Shen Yuanyin lifted a hand and pointed down. There was a light sound. Qin Yu looked down to see an ice sword pierced through his chest. A frosty voice resounded in his ears, “Demon Sovereign, let me remind you one last time to not provoke my bottom line.”
With his Saint level Demon Body, the ice sword piercing through his chest wasn’t considered a serious injury at all. But, the chill seeped into his bones.
Qin Yu’s lips moved. He let out a soft sigh, “So it was like this…”
At this time, a dreadful aura suddenly burst out from within Shen Yuanyin’s body. The ice sword that pierced into Qin Yu’s chest shattered into countless pieces!
