Chapter 512A – The Intelligent Monster Race Great Emperor
As the scapegoated Great Hero Qin was bitterly smiling inside, the enraged Monster Race Great Emperor began to calm down. The ancient tree monster fell silent with him and the world returned to tranquility.
But it was simply far too peaceful, as if the entire world had become an iceberg, without a single movement. An invisible pressure descended, so heavy that it made one instinctually shiver.
The Monster Race Great Emperor suddenly smiled. “It seems that talented people will always arise in every generation. I might have underestimated a junior today, but where can you run away to? Once I leave this land, even if I must search through the vast blue skies above and the yellow springs below, I will still find you and tear you to shreds.”
He turned around and said, “As well as you. Are you thinking about how you can flee from here? But I won’t make the same mistake a second time. Let’s bring this to an end.”
Every branch of the ancient tree monster began to erupt with a brilliant light. The lights wove together in the skies, forming a world phantom. It was like the endless starry skies were slowly descending.
The speed wasn’t fast, but wherever this world phantom covered, all things between the heavens and earth seemed to be imprisoned by its strength.
Qin Yu stiffened. He was unable to move even a little bit. He suppressed the desire to summon the little blue lamp and break free from the imprisonment of this world phantom, and allowed himself to be pulled towards the Monster Race Great Emperor.
The little blue lamp possessed heaven-defying properties. Even if the Monster Emperor had personally summoned a world phantom, Qin Yu was confident that the little blue lamp could break it.
But what would happen after he broke through the world phantom? He simply had no ability to contend with the Monster Emperor. If Undying woke up he might be able to escape, but right now he could only rely on himself.
If he couldn’t escape, if he couldn’t fight, he could only wait for his chance to show up. Qin Yu only had a single opportunity to use his hidden cards. Once he failed he would fall into a hopeless situation.
So he chose to wait!
At the very worst, he still had the Ninerealm Holy Land’s Saint Son Token. Although he didn’t know if he could block the attacks of the reviving Monster Emperor, if he hid inside he could still support himself for a little bit longer.
The small world’s connection to the outside world had been severed, and it was likely that those outside had already realized this. Perhaps they were even now trying to find a solution to forcefully open the small world. As long as he could survive until powerhouses from the Demonic Path arrived, they would be able to deal with the Monster Race Great Emperor and he would preserve his life.
It was because of this that even in this seemingly perilous situation, Qin Yu was still able to barely maintain his calm. If there really was no chance of survival, no matter how tenacious his will was he still might recklessly try to do something.
This was the immense terror of facing a life or death situation. Those that never experienced this would never be able to imagine it.
The Monster Race Great Emperor had a faint expression, “The one I wanted was the junior who ran away. Although you are strong, you cannot be placed on par with him. But since things are destined to be like this, I can only sacrifice you.” He paused and then said, “I hope you can contribute some strength in helping me break through the barrier of yin and yang.”
The tone with which he said this…
If the situation wasn’t quite right for this, Qin Yu would have rolled his eyes back and glared at the Monster Emperor.
This bastard, he wants to kill me but he also considers me useless? This is the same as killing the pig and blaming the pig.
Breathless with anger, he never imagined that this metaphor wasn’t too appropriate.
The Monster Race Great Emperor opened his mouth and an extremely terrifying aura arrived. In that moment, whether it was Qin Yu’s body or soul, he was thoroughly suppressed.
Within the eyes of the calm and indifferent Great Emperor, there was a flash of ecstatic joy. As he stared at Qin Yu, a burning heat began to kindle in his gaze.
Zhao Qianyuan was very good. He also seemed to have two external souls in his body. If he could swallow them, it would be beneficial to him.
But no one knew that ever since Qin Yu appeared, the Monster Race Great Emperor’s attention had shifted to him. This was because hidden within Qin Yu’s body were several soul auras that caused him to tremble.
Some were incomparably sweet, some were mysterious and unfathomable, some were perilous and dangerous…but no matter which one it was, they could stimulate the greed in the depths of his heart.
Yes, from the very start the Monster Race Great Emperor had been putting on an act. He had truly been angry when Zhao Qianyuan escaped, but a great deal of it was merely a play he put on.
As long as Qin Yu didn’t run away, everything was fine.
As expected, this deeply hidden boy might still have the thought of killing him off and obtaining everything he had, so he was patiently waiting for the moment where he would erupt.
Originally, the Monster Race Great Emperor was worried that Qin Yu wouldn’t suppress himself and would go all-out against him. At that time, he didn’t have full faith he would be able to capture this boy.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t confident in his own strength, but those auras in Qin Yu’s body really left him feeling dread.
However, there was no longer a need to worry about that. When the Monster Race Great Emperor opened his mouth, Qin Yu had been thoroughly suppressed.
This junior was patiently enduring for the best moment to attack, but now there was no longer a need to consider these things.
Because he had already lost his opportunity. Now, he was nothing more than fish on the chopping block, free to be butchered.
The Monster Race Great Emperor’s heart was filled with joy and excitement. He never thought that through his winding snake-like deals with the Sage, he would finally catch a large fish.
If he swallowed Qin Yu and obtained all those auras in his body, while the Monster Race Great Emperor didn’t know what those auras were, there was something he was sure of – today, not only would he be able to smoothly revive but he would become as strong as he was at his peak, and perhaps he might even ascend further!
The night was darkest before the dawn, and from the depths of misfortune comes bliss. The Monster Race Great Emperor had deep ambitions. Not only did he want to revive, he wanted to ascend to higher heights, reach the apex of the world, and reclaim all that he lost in the past with interest!
Of course, these were all things for later. Right now, the most essential matter was to eat up the entirety of Qin Yu into his belly. His main body was the ancient tree monster and he should have been able to plunder all the strength he needed from it. It had been a long time since the Monster Race Great Emperor wanted to devour another being so desperately.
As for whether or not Qin Yu could resist…the Monster Race Great Emperor had supreme confidence in himself. This was because he was not simply opening his mouth.
At this moment, he was erupting with all of his strength, displaying the whole of his prestige and energy. Whether it was Qin Yu’s soul, body, or will, they should all be imprisoned. The current Qin Yu shouldn’t even be able to revolve his thoughts. He could only obediently be swallowed up.
Looking at the Qin Yu that would soon enter his mouth and the monstrous harvest he was about to receive, the Monster Race Great Emperor couldn’t help but praise his own wisdom 108 times. If he hadn’t plotted to capture Qin Yu, it wouldn’t have been so easy.
He really was too intelligent!
In truth, the Monster Race Great Emperor was indeed careful. Even a Calamity Immortal realm existence would be suppressed if they weren’t prepared.
But in front of Qin Yu, an accident occurred. Because from the very start, he never lost the ability to think. Since he could think, he could naturally resist.
Within his soul space, golden lines began to appear on the surface of the Cosmic Seacross Bell. Although there were countless broken points because the bell itself had been damaged, it still emitted a tyrannical aura.
Bang –
The Cosmic Seacross Bell trembled and a visible shockwave erupted outwards. Like a meteor crashing into the sea, wild waves instantly swelled up, covering the entire soul space. A shattering sound that only a soul could hear entered his ears. It was like a frozen lake had been struck by a sledgehammer and smashed apart with a completely unreasonable strength.
The Monster Race Great Emperor stuffily coughed. His eyes widened and shock appeared on his handsome face. Because his soul had suffered a backlash, his movements froze.
But this brief pause gave Qin Yu the chance to fight for his life. The purple moon within his soul space suddenly radiated with a dazzling light. The deep purple brilliance was like flowing water. At nearly the same time, the blue sun in his dantian erupted with blinding light, as if it were a true blue sun!
In his soul space, the phantom of the blue sun appeared beside the purple moon.
Within his dantian sea, the phantom of the purple moon appeared beside the blue sun.
At this moment, in Qin Yu’s body, it was like there were twin moons and twin suns, illuminating his soul, igniting his dantian sea.
Qin Yu’s thoughts became incomparably clear, all emotions tossed away. He was completely different from the terrifying strength surging forth from his dantian sea. They roared, tongues of flame licking out like giant sparks landing on the autumn grasslands. After the sparks fell, an unstoppable prairie fire blazed into existence.
His imprisoned mortal body felt an intense burning sensation, as if his entire body were being wildly tempered within a pill furnace. Although the pain was agonizing, this pain was able to liberate his mortal body.
Qin Yu’s skin turned crimson and his blood vessels bulged out. He could clearly hear the blood rapidly flowing through his body. He lifted his right hand and phantoms of the rules appeared around his index finger. Because the Monster Race Great Emperor was so close, when he reached out an arm he could easily place it behind his head.
The index finger hooked against the ‘umbilical cord’ that connected the Monster Race Great Emperor’s mortal body to the ancient tree monster.
Qin Yu could see the shock and anger in his face.
It was obvious that even until now, the Monster Race Great Emperor still hadn’t responded; just how had he suddenly been reduced to such a situation? He realized that he needed to stop Qin Yu, but after Qin Yu broke free from his imprisonments, all of those backlashes added up and slammed into him.
The soul of the Monster Race Great Emperor stalled and his body stiffened. It would only take an extremely short period of time to regain his movement, but what a pity, Qin Yu wouldn’t wait for him.
Qin Yu pulled back his finger with all his strength. He felt a tenacious impediment, but as he increased his strength, this impediment reached its strongest state before it snapped apart.
“Ahh!”
Pain, despair, hatred, unwillingness – all sorts of emotions were mixed into a single bellowing roar.
With a low and deep bang, Qin Yu was like a moth that was slapped away. His chest sunk in and innumerable bones were broken. He crashed into the ground, drilling a hole in the earth and causing massive waves of dirt and stone to fly out in all directions.
The Monster Race Great Emperor had recovered. All he needed to do was wait an extremely short period of time to restore his movement and regain the power to easily crush Qin Yu.
But, he no longer had the chance to attack. His eyes widened as he glared at Qin Yu. He wanted to lift his hand but after reaching up halfway, his arm fell back down.
His mouth began to move. On the surface of this extremely intelligent Monster Race Great Emperor, countless tiny cracks began to appear. He was like a burning hot pottery figure taken straight out of the kiln and tossed right into a vat of ice cold water, directly blasting open as a result.
But he didn’t explode. Otherwise, with the strength of the Monster Race Great Emperor, the self-implosion of his body would have annihilated the surrounding area for 10,000 miles, dragging the severely wounded Qin Yu into the grave with him.
“I will return.” As he tossed down these last eerie words, his cracked body began to peel and fade away. His flesh and blood melted off, like a wax candle in high heat, pooling into a mass of gooey flesh and blood.
Perhaps this description wasn’t appropriate, because the Monster Race Great Emperor’s mortal body wasn’t made of flesh and blood. Rather, it was bred from the pure condensed essence derived from the ancient tree monster.
This mass of flesh didn’t smell of blood. Rather, it was like liquid crystal, flowing with a brilliant halo of light. As one looked at it, it even caused one to instinctually gulp and wish to dive over and eat it.
Because this was the demon blood stone that Xu Guzi and the others had come all the way here for. But in comparison to an ordinary and pure demon blood stone, this actually contained the boundless vitality of the ancient tree monster.
Space suddenly collapsed inward, revealing a pitch black opening. An extreme yin chill howled out from within, making it seem like a tunnel to hell.
A dim gray soul flew out from the demon blood stone and was dragged into the black hole. Then, space wriggled around and was restored to serenity.
At this time, lying deep in the ground, Qin Yu violently coughed and blood sprayed out from his nose and mouth.
The Monster Race Great Emperor’s revival had failed in the end!
