Refining the Mountains and Rivers

A slip, it was just a slip!

If at the critical point, Ten Thousand Saint had controlled himself to not expose his weakness, he might have escaped.

Two choices, yet the results were worlds apart.

Today, Thousand Saint would be the last one laughing as he absorbed the origins of all three True Saints. His power would surge and everything would change.

Thousand Saint was extremely proud of himself. Thankfully at the most difficult part, he did not panic and lose his cool. He managed to see through his opponent's defense.

Laugh, he would definitely be laughing. He would laugh the loudest without holding back!

"Thousand Saint, don't go overboard. Even if Ten Thousand Saint cannot bear it, I, Hundred Saint, am not dead yet. We don't know who will be the last one left laughing!"

As he shouted, a strong power burst forth from within the Fire of Eternal Night. In that moment, it caused the fire to change shape, looking as if it was about to explode.

Snorting, Thousand Saint's expression grew serious as he gritted his teeth, "I did not realize that you would actually have so much hidden power Hundred Saint. Are you going to be the hero? What a joke!"

Boom -

The Fire of Eternal Night burst forth once more. The first obvious change was the 'crack crack' sound. The ice covering over the East Sea broke and expanded outwards with a 'swoosh'.

The Dragon Saint was forced to back away. He sensed the severe drop in the air temperature as the light in his eyes dimmed.

At this moment, the ice covering grew larger. It was obvious that Thousand Saint was trying his best to put the nail in today's coffin.

It also meant that he was extremely confident in killing Hundred Saint and Qin Yu. If not, he would not have done this.

It is over. It was completely over!

After Thousand Saint absorbed their origins, he would come and find him. After all, he was the only surviving witness in the Red Peak Straits. After killing him, Thousand Saint could cover up whatever happened today and twist the story as he wanted to in the future…if it were him, he would definitely do the same!

As he thought of this, the Dragon Saint was afraid. A trembling thought came to him: unless he escaped now…but if Thousand Saint could not find him, he would search the entire East Sea. In his anger, he would definitely destroy the East Sea.

The Dragon Saint was trembling.

Logic told him to leave immediately. As long as he was alive and the East Sea was not completely destroyed, he would have a chance to take revenge.

But right from the start, this had been his home. After becoming a Saint, the Dragon Saint had better choices but he did not hesitate to choose the East Sea as his base.

This place had his people, his bloodline, and the Sea Clan that relief on him…How could he leave? He could not leave!

Taking a deep breath, the Dragon Saint took out a seal and after imprinting his divine sense, he crushed it into powder.

The message target…the Peach Garden!

Qin Yu is about to die. It is up to you if you want to rescue him. Once you all come, we can support together.

Why didn't he call the Spring Master earlier? The Dragon Saint did not know how to explain. After all, even if he knew the entire reason, he would not say it.

With the Spring Master's temper, no one knew if he would kill Thousand Saint first or the Dragon Saint after arriving at the East Sea…he could not defeat the Spring Master. The memory of him being thoroughly beaten still lingered.

But now, the Dragon Saint had no choice. Whatever happens will happen. Regardless, he needed to find someone to help him!

Hundred Saint was really struggling and trying his best. He was fighting against Thousand Saint to control the Fire of Eternal Night. 'Bom bom bom' the fight was intense. He shouted, "Ten Thousand Saint Brother, don't worry. As long as I am alive, I won't let anything happen to you!"

Qin Yu's mouth twitched as he heard this. In my current condition, do I need you to save me? Hundred Saint was too amusing.

And his mind, tsk tsk tsk. Perhaps the World of Darkness was too dark; it needs a bit of light to trigger some intelligence.

But you have to admit that hearing things like this made people feel very comfortable. As Qin Yu's mouth twitched, a thought came to him - should he let him off this time?

After all, they did not have any animosity between them. Although Hundred Saint had been here to kill him, Qin Yu had changed the script early on and led him all the way until now. He even started to trust Qin Yu and called him brother. The way he said it was so sincere.

But I need to silence everyone. Even though Hundred Saint may not know much, leaving anyone alive will create trouble.

It did not match his original intentions!

Qin Yu felt a headache coming along. As he looked at where Hundred Saint was standing, he decided to ignore it. After all, Hundred Saint did not look like he could last any longer. After Thousand Saint got rid of Hundred Saint in the Fire of Eternal Night, he would kill Thousand Saint. It would be considered revenge for Hundred Saint and he would be able to go in peace.

That's right. This was a brilliant plan. Such a great idea!

Qin Yu breathed out comfortably as he closed his eyes to 'see' into his mind. There was a bright light running through the galaxy brought by the God Mark. It was becoming more and more concentrated. It was as if a real 'milky way' had appeared in the endless galaxy!

As it got more and more concentrated, Qin Yu felt as if the entire galaxy was experiencing a change. It was becoming deeper and more real.

If the galaxy map that the Galaxy God Mark presented was the real world then the reflection in the water right now was a lot cleaner and hence the reflection of the galaxy map was extra clear.

Qin Yu was very observant. Even though Hundred Saint was powerful, the Fire of Eternal Night was scary and still had a strong control over Darkness True Saints.

He could not hold on any longer and his aura was rapidly getting depleted. He could at most hold on a little more before he was completely burnt.

Qin Yu silently bid him farewell. We don't have any relationship. You were here to kill me. I will take revenge for you and that shall be my benevolence.

"Hahahaha!"

Thousand Saint burst out laughing once more. Things were turning out as he expected. He laughed very loudly and arrogantly without any fear.

"Hundred Saint, weren't you super powerful? Why can't you handle it? With just the two of you, you want to kill me? You really don't know your limits!"

He suddenly lifted his head and the sound of his laughter spread through the dark ice, "Qin Yu, you are still around right? These two fools don't believe it but I know everything. You are here!

"After thinking about it, although I do not understand what you are trying to do, only you will be able to do this. I have to admit that you are skillful, but I have won. I am about to absorb their Darkness Origins!

"You are still not coming out? Let me tell you, this is your last chance. If you still don't act, it will be too late!"

It didn't matter if he killed two or three. The power of the Fire of Eternal Night proved that Qin Yu would be dead if he showed himself.

Thousand Saint was extremely confident. He wanted to take down three birds with one stone and bury Qin Yu too.

In order to entice him to act, Thousand Saint showed his true state, He was pale and panting. His hair was slick with sweat and sticking to the sides of his face.

He looked extremely disheveled and weak.

He was not pretending.

Qin Yu could definitely see that he was weak. As long as he could lure Qin Yu out, Qin Yu would be dead meat!

As for why he said what he said earlier…

The truth was that he got inspiration from Ten Thousand Saint. At times, saying the 'wrong' things would expose your current 'true' state.

Thousand Saint wanted to show Qin Yu that he was very weak and intentionally boasted to try and scare him.

This was a brilliant attempt but it was a pity that Qin Yu did not fall for it. Or maybe, he had left after seeing how terrifying the Fire of Eternal Night was.

He was such a smart yet annoying prey. But it was okay. He could escape today but he couldn't escape forever.

Now that he knew Qin Yu possessed the power of an innate spirit, he must get it…maybe then he would be able to get out of the control of the World of Darkness. Maybe, he could even reach the goal of what everyone in the World of Darkness was coveting - the empty Ruler's seat!

He was getting more and more excited.

After that, he became slightly disappointed. Qin Yu did not show himself. If Qin Yu came out, maybe he would achieve that dream today.

Thousand Saint looked slightly impatient.

Qin Yu opened his eyes and looked at where Hundred Saint was. His breathing had more or less stopped and he seemed to have passed on.

Qin Yu then looked at Thousand Saint and saw how impatient he appeared. He looked like the symbol of a joke - and the joke was Thousand Saint himself.

Just a moment ago Qin Yu felt that Hundred Saint was stupid, but now it seemed like the biggest fool was Thousand Saint.

Sigh dealing with a fool like this was degrading his reputation. Even if he won in the end, he would feel horrible.

Forget it. He would continue to bear with it on account of the Fire of Eternal Night. After all, he only needed a bit more time.

Outside the ice cover, the Dragon Saint looked serious as he looked as if he was staring at death.

Under the ice cover, Thousand Saint was neither sad nor happy. He was just waiting for his final rewards.

Cough cough. He was pretending to look neutral. Right now, he was so happy he could explode.

When Black Turtle died, it looked as if disaster was about to happen. Who could have guessed that things would change and end up like this.

It was fate!

Perhaps I am destined to be the lead. Even if I don't want to, fate will slowly push me to it.

Since it is fate, I cannot disappoint the life the heavens have set out for me!

From today, I will decide my destiny. Nobody shall bully or pressure me!

I will be a powerful man and make the whole Vast Brightness World shiver as they stand in front of me.

Just wait. For those that offended me before, I have extremely good memory and remember every single tiny thing.

You had better return every thing you take from me and double it…every single thing. You all better pay me back!

Thousand Saint licked his lips absentmindedly as he fantasized. Of those that offended me, half have died; why isn't Ten Thousand Saint dying?

Using his sense, he felt an extremely weak aura. It was just like a feeble candle that would extinguish with a light puff.

But most importantly, he had maintained this state for a very long time. As if he would soon die, but not quite yet.

It was as if glass was blocking…

Thousand Saint shivered as if he had fallen into an ice cave as a bone-chilling cold rose from his feet and soon spread through his entire body.

As he stared into the Fire of Eternal Night, his eyes widened and his mouth moved as if to say something. But no sound came out.
