Refining the Mountains and Rivers

In his ears he seemed to hear the roars of the Ancient race spanning across space and time. The voices were ancient and far away. They carried with them the endless breath of the years, as if they were both praying to the heavens and also praising him.

As Qin Yu's mind was flooded with the roars of the Ancient race, he didn't feel any pain at all. He closed his eyes, his consciousness falling into a semi-awake state.

At this time, if there was someone else in the chamber they would clearly see Ancient runes beginning to appear on the surface of his body.

In ancient times, the heavens and earth had a favored child - they were named the Ancients. The Ancients were born powerful and possessed the might to shatter mountains. When they grew to adulthood they were 10,000 feet tall, and those with talent could even grow to 100,000 feet tall. With a lift of their hands they could summon monstrous power, sweeping across their fields with unmatched vigor!

Among them, for those that would grow to 100,000 feet tall, they were born with Ancient runes on their bodies.

In some way, it could be said that obam race were the same as the Ancients. They both cultivated through the bloodline system.

They were born with knowledge of how to cultivate. They only needed to constantly strengthen their bodies and stimulate their bloodline to awaken their inherent strength and become stronger.

And what appeared on Qin Yu's body were these Ancient runes.

The Ancient race that had already disappeared through the long river of history once had legends of defying the heavens and changing their destinies. When the Ancient race experienced great lucky chances or found good fortune, they had a chance to change their own potential.

The fine and delicate Ancient runes did not have the cruelty and roughness of the Ancient race. They were like natural carvings of the world, exuding a mystical atmosphere. Every curve and line gave off a flawless feeling.

Since ancient times, this was how they were without changing. Even if the skies collapsed and the earth was sundered, this would never change.

They grew and spread. From the top of his head, from his chest, from his limbs…they grew all around. They seemed scattered but when they spread to a certain range they would inevitably touch.

His chest and limbs were the first to fuse together. Like parts of a great puzzle, they fit together perfectly without flaw.

The Ancient runes on his forehead also grew. Only his neck was still blank now. It was like a bridge, communicating between the head and body…the same, as the heavens communicated with the earth!

Bang -

Bang -

Bang -

Space shook and three towering mountain phantoms appeared above Qin Yu's head. The underground space wildly expanded outwards once again. Beneath the invisible force that swept out, the extremely hard stone was now as fragile as a bubble, unable to stop it at all.

At this moment, the three Sacred Mountains of the Ancient Race had arrived!

As if given enough strength and also as if they had obtained a key to open their doors, as the Ancient race's three Sacred Mountains appeared, the barrier between the runes on Qin Yu's head and body finally broke.

Pa -

The first line of Ancient runes rose up from his body, growing into the nape of his neck.

Then a second, a third…

In a moment, his neck was covered with thick and numerous Ancient runes!

When the last line rose up, there was no longer any gap between the body and head.

The Ancient runes were complete!

Bang -

An invisible aura was released from Qin Yu's body. The surrounding space distorted. This wasn't a release of strength, but the result of his body's aura….

Like his unconscious breathing!

Qin Yu suddenly awoke from his semi-awake state. The roaring voices of the Ancient race became clear at this moment. They were cheering and praying for him.

The cheering came from a King finally appearing amongst the declined Ancient race after countless years. Although they had died, their invincible will sincerely blessed him…they prayed that their new King grew stronger and stronger, until he eventually brought about the return of the Ancient race to the world!

A hidden bloodline memory of the ancient race appeared in Qin Yu's mind after the Ancient runes became complete. It allowed him to understand the changes occurring to his body.

The Ancient race's Undying Body was the strongest battle body of the Ancient race. It was undying and inextinguishable and possessed dreadful strength. Even if their bodies were crushed, as long as some flesh and blood was preserved they could be reborn in time.

At the same time, this was a powerful body only Kings of the Ancient race possessed.

And once an Ancient race King smoothly grew up, their bodies could grow over 100,000 feet tall and they would have a natural might comparable to a Divine Dao powerhouse.

They could lift a hand to pluck stars from the skies, step on the earth to destroy the world!

This was a King of the Ancient race.

Ancient race's Undying Body…King of the Ancient race….

Qin Yu clenched his fists together. He could feel the terrifying strength recklessly surging through his body. It was hidden now, but once it erupted it could cause the world to shiver and wail!

This was a great strength that Qin Yu had never felt before.

No, that wasn't right. This wasn't his complete harvest.

Qin Yu suddenly sensed something. He took a deep breath and suppressed his surging thoughts. He closed his mind and searched within himself. A constrained feeling appeared in his mind. This was not a strength he knew of, but a feeling of being restrained.

It was as if his body was wrapped up as he lived between the heavens and earth. A thick barrier surrounded him so he couldn't feel the world at all.

This feeling caused Qin Yu to feel that even his breathing was no longer smooth. He had the impulse to tear apart this barrier and truly embrace the world.

And more importantly, Qin Yu had a clear intuition that if he tried to do it, he could easily achieve it.

But this time, Qin Yu hesitated. Although he didn't know what this barrier he felt was, once he broke it, it shouldn't be bad for him.

But Qin Yu thought that he wasn't prepared for this. To hastily tear apart the barrier, while he might obtain some benefits he would lose even more in the long-term.

After struggling over this, Qin Yu restrained his mind and suppressed the potent beating of his heart. He suppressed the dark desires within his body.

He needed to hold on. Once he clarified exactly what this barrier was then he would make his next decision.

Hu -

Letting out a breath, Qin Yu opened his eyes. With a thought the Ancient runes vanished from sight and his body was restored to its original size.

He looked around at the various treasures that had been scattered in the chaos. He stamped his foot and invisible ripples rolled out, annihilating everything.

At the same time, the traces of the Ancient race runes and his achievements of becoming a King of the Ancient race were also erased!

…

He had to leave the mine tunnels as soon as possible!

Qin Yu didn't know if the disturbance of condensing the Ancient runes had been detected from the outside world. After all, with his current boundary it was still impossible for him to predict how much power the Great Dragon Overlord possessed.

He drilled out from the depths and found An Xin that had retreated far away. Without pause, he picked her up and flew away.

When he saw Silent Kite again he directly said, "We need to go."

Although her injuries had yet to be fully restored, she didn't express any objections to his decision. "Alright."

Qin Yu turned around. "An Xin, we are going to leave now. We might experience some danger so you need to momentarily stay here. I promise you that once I resolve the matter outside, I will bring you out to reunite with your brother."

An Xin respectfully bowed. "I believe you."

She truly did believe him. With Qin Yu's cultivation there was no need for him to deceive her. To say it in a crueler way, even if Qin Yu obtained the treasure in the chamber and decided to kill her to silence all witnesses, who would know about it?

He instructed the scarred man, Wang Yue, to protect An Xin while he was gone. Then, Qin Yu and Silent Kite left the mine tunnels.

He wasn't worried that Wang Yue would try any tricks. After absorbing the blood of the slave, he had become a slave to the Ancient race's blood. Unless an existence that was strong enough to severe the contract of the Ancients appeared, he could kill Wang Yue with nothing but a thought.

…

Little Sweet Mountains.

The chaos ship floated in the air. Most of the surface damage had been repaired. Now, a faint halo of light surged around it, emitting a formidable suppression.

On the other side, the batwing dragon heavily panted for breath. Its red eyes stubbornly looked over, filled with hatred and viciousness. On its back, the newly grown wing was smaller than the other side. It had no choice but to consume considerable energy to maintain stability.

The Great Dragon Overlord's little body was extremely small as he stood atop the batwing dragon. But, his imposing stance was like a heaven-supporting mountain. It was like he was the sun, attracting all attention.

"Silent Light, have you considered things carefully yet? I will give you one final chance. Come out of the chaos ship and fight me to the death. Otherwise, I will personally turn your daughter into a stuffed puppet and deliver her to you."

The Great Dragon Overlord loudly said. The coldness and hatred in his voice caused a chill to creep up one's spine, nearly freezing their blood solid.

"You should understand how good my skill level of creating biological specimens is…after all, as far as I know, you have always kept those gifts from back then."

Pa -

Within the chaos ship, Silent Light crushed the crystal cup in his hand. Drops of water fell down his fingertips, smashing onto the ground.

An invisible suppression flooded the air!

The surrounding Light Guards all flushed red. As long as Silent Light gave the order, they would desperately fight for him.

To all the Light Guards, what happened in the past was a shame they would shoulder for the rest of their lives…

And today, they learned for the first time that the one who committed those evil deeds and imprinted the mark of shame upon the Light Guards was the Great Dragon Overlord.

"Calm down." Silent Light said. His face was a cold as stone and it was impossible to sense his mood. "Great Dragon Overlord, you seem to be intentionally trying to enrage me. Allow me to guess what the reason is…it is because you haven't captured Silent Kite at all!"
