Chapter 655B – First Life Clan

Chapter 655B – First Life Clan

He looked up. Where his eyes fell, space shattered as Qin Yu and Solitary Westgate stepped out together.

In a flash, their eyes met. Qin Yu’s pupils shrank as he saw the middle-aged man in the hands of the monk.

The young monk smiled and nodded. “Demon Sovereign, your guess is correct. This is the last member of the First Life Clan in the world. But, he is currently in my hands.”

Qin Yu took a deep breath. “Buddhist Nation Sovereign, there is no need for games between us. Speak your conditions.”

The young monk’s expression turned gentle. “And if I want you to die?”

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes. “Buddhist Nation Sovereign, I am not in the mood to waste time with you.”

The young monk nodded. “Demon Sovereign has many duties to attend to, so it was indeed wrong of me to say such things. Then, I’ll get straight to the point. My condition is…” As he spoke, he suddenly clenched his palm.

“Stop!” Qin Yu roared out loud. He started to move forward but he was already too late.

The imprisoned First Life clansman was directly torn to shreds by a space distortion. The young monk then said, “…There are no conditions!”

He calmly smiled. Looking at Qin Yu, there was joy on his face, as if he were asking Qin Yu if he was satisfied with his actions.

Qin Yu’s body quivered and his eyes turned blood red, “I will tear you to shreds!”

Bang –

A wild aura shot up into the skies. Winds surged as black clouds appeared. The heavens started to darken.

The young monk shook his head, “I only wanted the Demon Sovereign to experience the taste of despair after seeing hope and losing it. I have no intention of engaging with Your Majesty in a life or death battle. If Your Majesty wishes to kill me, then feel free to come to the Immortal Sect for a third time.”

He took a step back and his body became like a stone falling into water. Ripples appeared around him as he vanished within them.

Qin Yu stepped forward, “You’re not leaving!”

Solitary Westgate grabbed hold of him, “Qin Yu, don’t fall for their trap!”

Qin Yu punched back without even turning his head. Solitary Westgate coughed as he was sent flying away.

Bang –

Space shattered and Qin Yu’s figure submerged within.

Solitary Westgate’s complexion was ugly. He lifted a hand and tore through space, rapidly chasing after Qin Yu’s aura.

Three different auras, each a distance away from each other, howled through the world. When the young monk came to a stop, he stood outside a black hole.

The inside was dark and without any trace of light. No aura emanated from it either. The young monk turned around, a happy smile on his face, “Demon Sovereign, if you want to kill me then follow me in.”

Qin Yu’s blood red eyes fell upon the black hole. He suddenly said, “Buddhist Nation Sovereign, you really hope for me to disregard all else and rush in?”

The young monk’s smile stagnated for a brief moment. His eyebrows furrowed together and he said, “Demon Sovereign, don’t you hate me?”

“I hate! I wish I could turn your bones to ash and plunge the entire Immortal Sect into the endless abyss! But, that doesn’t mean I have lost my sense of reason.”

Solitary Westgate heard these words just as he arrived. He relaxed; he had really been worried that Qin Yu would do something reckless.

The Buddhist Nation Sovereign had clearly exterminated the South End Mountain Sect and killed the last member of the First Life Clan in front of Qin Yu to enrage him.

That ordinary black hole inevitably had some terrifying method hidden within. Once a person stepped inside, it would be difficult to survive!

Qin Yu took a deep breath. “I will find another method to save Ning Ling…before then, you can live a little longer…trust me, you will die, and the Nether Domain Master will die, and the entire Immortal Sect will be destroyed…this is my vow to you.”

Shua –

He turned and walked away.

Solitary Westgate’s ice cold eyes swept around. Then he turned and followed after Qin Yu.

Instantly, the two vanished from sight.

The young monk stood outside the black hole, staring at where the two people vanished. The smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a dark and gloomy expression instead. The faint throbbing feeling in his heart still lingered around. It seemed that the words Qin Yu spoke just now weren’t a simple threat…as if could achieve what he said he would do.

Taking a deep breath, the young monk suppressed his thoughts. He sneered, “You want to destroy the Immortal Sect? With you alone? Keep on dreaming!”

Shua –

He flew into the black hole and vanished.

…

Standing above a vast sea, Qin Yu reared back his head and roared into the heavens. A wild strength surged out, causing the surrounding 10,000 miles of sea to explode. Enormous waves rose up and terrifying undercurrents billowed beneath, smashing the seabed below.

Dreadful and powerful, it was like a world catastrophe, as if the apocalypse had come!

The sea life below that was unfortunately dragged in didn’t feel any pain at all before their bodies and souls were extinguished. The rest immediately fled, not even daring to turn their heads. They only desired to flee as far away as they could.

The formidable seafolk lived in the sea had always postured themselves as if they were the masters of the world. But the anger of a supreme being tore away all their pride, causing them to hide in fear within their lairs.

The seafolk didn’t doubt that if they really dared to leap out and try to stop the terrifying Demon Sovereign, they would be ripped to pieces by him!

This strength, this aura…it was too terrifying!

The space around Solitary Westgate lightly twisted as he calmly counterbalanced all the strength that rushed at him. When he looked at Qin Yu who was venting all his pain and rage, a dazed look crossed his face. At this moment, it seemed as if he were looking at a reflection of himself in the past. When his wife and child had been slain he had also fallen into a berserk state and wished that he could destroy everything in front of him.

However, Qin Yu was a bit better than he had been. If he had learned that it was the Immortal Sect who was behind everything in the past, he probably wouldn’t have been able to maintain his reasoning…he would have rushed in and one side would have perished.

After a long time, Qin Yu gasped for breath and stopped roaring. But, the waves still tumbled and raged. It would take some time for the reckless strength that was blasted into the seas to dissipate.

Perhaps as if feeling that the Demon Sovereign had vented enough of his emotions and was in a reasonable state of mind, the choppy waves broke apart and a terrifying octopus rose up. A seafolk stood atop the head of the octopus. He cupped his hands together and bowed, “Your Majesty Demon Sovereign, I am a special envoy of the Sea Sovereign. You rushed into my sea region for no reason today and killed a massive number of living beings in my domain…”

“Screw off!”

The Sea Sovereign’s special envoy was stunned for a moment. His face immediately flushed red. What he was representing right now was the pride of the Sea Sovereign. His voice sharpened and he said, “Demon Sovereign, do not be so rampant. Our sea races…”

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yu punched out a fist. The Sea Sovereign’s special envoy was like a rubber ball, blasted back into the sea. Even the giant octopus he rode on was smashed into the seabed.

Everything fell silent once more.

Qin Yu let out a breath. He glanced at Solitary Westgate, “Let’s go.”

“Alright.”

Shua –

Shua –

The two teleported away.

From start to finish, the seafolk had maintained their silence…what nonsense, this was two supreme beings of the world. Even if the seafolk were formidable enough, they wouldn’t dare to come into conflict with them.

Moreover, the seafolk were split up into numerous regions. This so-called Sea Sovereign was only the self-proclaimed leader of the strongest nearby branch.

To argue with the Demon Sovereign and Dao Arena Master, did they want to court death?

…

South End Mountain.

Qin Yu buried all the cultivators of the South End Sect so that their corpses wouldn’t be left exposed to the world. Looking at the ruins all around him, a trace of guilt flashed across his face.

No matter what was said, the South End Sect ended up like this because of him. This was an indisputable fact.

Qin Yu took a deep breath and cupped his hands together in respect. “Fellow daoists, I have promised Elder Qian Dodo that I will take revenge for the South End Sect. Today I will seal the South End Sect away, and if a chance appears in the future I will select disciples to continue on your inheritance. I ask that you all rest in peace.”

He flicked his sleeves and a visible ripple spread out, turning the surrounding space into a powerful barrier that covered the entirety of South End Mountain.

After completing this, Qin Yu turned and left. Solitary Westgate followed behind in silence. Seeing Qin Yu’s actions, waves appeared in his eyes.

“Qin Yu!”

Solitary Westgate suddenly said.

“What is it?”

Solitary Westgate said, “If…and I am only saying if, if Ning Ling cannot be saved in the end, I hope that you can maintain your calm. As you saw with my wife and child, even those that have died still have a chance of being revived. The heavens and earth are vast, far larger than you and I can hope to imagine. There is endless hope and possibility. As long as you continue living and becoming stronger and stronger, there will be a chance for you to accomplish anything you desire.”

Qin Yu took a deep breath, “Westgate, I understand your intentions. But even if there is only a millionth of a chance, I will not give up. This is because both you and I know that while there is endless hope and possibility in the future, there is also an equal amount of uncertainty. I just want to do what I can in the moment.”

As he finished speaking he stepped forward. Space shattered and he vanished.

Solitary Westgate lightly sighed, worry in his eyes. Although Qin Yu’s current actions seemed calm and even, he couldn’t conceal the rage and fury in his heart from his eyes. He was like a suppressed volcano. Once he erupted he would release all of that power, destroying not only his enemies, but perhaps even himself.

Solitary Westgate hoped that Qin Yu would succeed.
