Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Emperor Qin raised his hand and the Emperor Sword in his hands trembled. Golden light erupted from it, merging to form the illusion of a great sun. All of the sword aura fell into the light of the golden great sun and directly evaporated, not being able to come close to him at all.

Emperor Qin erupted with an even greater power now and his eyes became colder, “It’s useless. I am invincible and no one in this world is able to defeat me, much less kill me!

“Qin Yu, accept your fate. You have cultivated until this day and you have only become strong enough to be my training dummy. By killing you, all of the confusion and troubles that I feel in my heart will be gone. I will become the master of my own fate!”

Qin Yu frowned slightly. He could clearly sense that the power released by Emperor Qin was even stronger than before. Otherwise, it would not make sense that Qin Yu was unable to injure Emperor Qin in the slightest even after mobilizing Ninerealm’s power.

“Little blue lamp, what’s going on?”

There was a brief silence before the little blue lamp’s voice rang in his head, “Qin Yu, don’t you understand? The stronger you become, the stronger Emperor Qin becomes too. He’s not hiding his power…both of you are one to begin with!”

“I am Emperor Qin’s shadow?”

“That’s not important.” The little blue lamp’s voice was calm as he added, “Because now, you and Emperor Qin are on the same level. Whoever is able to kill the other will be the final winner and become the real Qin Yu.

“If you die, this world will still only have one of you, but it will not be you anymore. I hope you understand what I’m trying to say.”

Qin Yu frowned, “No, I don’t understand, and I don’t need to either, because I am not going to die.”

Shadow?

Inner demon?

Damn you!

I am Qin Yu, the only Qin Yu that exists in this world!

Boom –

The Mountains and Rivers Sword erupted and Qin Yu took one step forward. As quick as lightning, he was engaged in a fierce battle with Emperor Qin in an instant. The auras released from both of them and their swords were like large invisible hands that tore apart the skies.

The world was crumbling and shattering as terrifying fluctuations were released in all directions, making people feel shocked and afraid. Outside Xianyang City, the True Kings that had descended to watch the battle continuously retreated and the horror in their eyes intensified.

For normal people, becoming a True King was already equivalent to reaching the peak of cultivation, and for most of them, this achievement was elusive. However, this battle at Xianyang City undeniably announced to the world that even though True Kings were powerful, it was merely a starting point to achieve even greater heights in the cultivation of one’s Great Dao. Emperor Qin and Qin Yu had evidently transformed into beings belonging to an even higher cultivation realm and they possessed the power to destroy the entire world.

The True Kings’ faces turned pale and they looked truly appalled. They could not help but worry that the impact of this battle would spread to the surrounding areas and, unable to withstand the force, this world would thoroughly fall apart before the winner was even decided.

……

Far away in the void.

A smile appeared on Heavenly Center’s face. He had already locked onto the aura of another Blazing Sun Fragment.

In actual fact, he had already caught onto it earlier on.

But for some reason, there seemed to be a power that interfered with this tracking process, which was why it was delayed until now.

However, it did not matter. As long as he managed to lock onto the other party, he could cross the distance between them with just a single thought.

I’ve painstakingly looked for you for countless years. I’ve finally found you!

A brilliance erupted in Heavenly Center’s eyes. The void started to tremble and the illusion of the Sea of Confusion appeared before it was distorted and shattered by a strong force.

Heavenly Center took one step forward and he was about to enter.

However, right at this moment, he stopped in his tracks and frowned as he looked opposite him.

Rourou was calm, “You can’t go over there yet.”

Heavenly Center said, “Your Excellency, you must be the one who obstructed my divine sense the last time.”

Rourou nodded, “That’s right.”

“Who are you exactly, Your Excellency?” Strands of fluctuations were being released from Heavenly Center’s body. “The one who pulled me into the depths of the void the last time was Your Excellency too.”

Rourou said, “If you’d like to chat, I’d be happy to oblige.”

“No.” Heavenly Center replied, “I’d rather fight it out.”

He raised his hand and the empty void suddenly became as heavy as a mountain. At this moment, it was as if a million majestic mountains had descended at this place, suppressing everything that was here.

Rourou scoffed, “As you wish!”

“Wait!” An illusion appeared. He waved his sleeve, getting rid of all the terrifying power that had just descended. He rubbed his forehead and in a helpless tone, he said, “This is meaningless, do the both of you find joy in bullying me like that?”

Rourou’s eyes turned cold, “When she made a move, you chose to retreat, but when I make a move, this is the kind of attitude you have. Are you looking down on me?”

The illusion was silent for a while before he said, “Are you trying to act shameless again?”

Rourou laughed coldly, “What is it going to be? Forget it, let’s just fight it out, after all the bet was not signed by me. I’d like the bet to be shattered too, then all of our worries would be gone.”

The illusion laughed bitterly, “Fine, don’t be rash!” He looked at Heavenly Center and said, “Just wait in the void for a while longer.”

Heavenly Center frowned heavily, but then he nodded his head slowly.

He did not know who this illusion was and neither did he sense even a strand of powerful aura coming from this person. However, that illusion waved his sleeve earlier and dispelled the heaviest of Heavenly Center’s attacks…this illusion must have an unthinkable amount of power.

There was also this strange woman in front of him. Heavenly Center had broken through the restraints that she put on him once.

However, going against her today, he could still feel her majestic power…it was unbelievably strong!

It was as if there was a huge, gaping mouth in front of him, and it had sharp fangs that were dripping with flesh and shining with an evil glint that made him feel fearful. It seemed to be waiting for Heavenly Center to walk into it, and with a ‘ka-cha’ sound, it would munch him into bits and pieces, sending him to his death.

After getting a Blazing Sun Fragment and having cultivated for so long, Heavenly Center felt that he was not that much weaker compared to a Blazing Sun Owner. However, in front of these two people today…no, in front of this person and this illusion, he felt completely inferior.

Heavenly Center had no choice but to give in.

The illusion turned around and said, “You’ve won. I’m not looking down on you, I’m merely choosing to give in as well. However, I will tell you the same thing I told her back then. This is the last time, otherwise I am really going to fall out with you.”

Rourou scoffed, “You can do whatever you want; if I was scared, you would not have appeared in this ghostly human form.”

“Of course you aren’t scared,” the illusion spoke calmly, showing no traces of anger despite Rourou’s tough attitude towards him.

“But Qin Yu will die.”

After a slight pause, he continued, “His soul will be broken and scattered and he will vanish for good, without any chance of revival.

“Don’t pick a fight with me, because you should know that it won’t be difficult for me to kill him, and I’ve always taken responsibility for my words. To put it simply, I am a man of my word.”

Like a chatterbox, he spouted a great amount of nonsense in just one breath.

However, a heavy expression formed on Rourou’s face because she clearly knew about how terrifying this illusion was. The words he said sounded like nonsense, but this was how he was issuing a threat to her declaring that he would not accept something like this happening again.

“Alright, I promise you this won’t happen again.”

The illusion smiled, “I knew that both you and her are logical people. Well then, let’s stick to our promise.

“As for how it all ends, we’ll leave it to the heavens to decide our fate. No one is allowed to interfere anymore, otherwise, we can all be unlucky together.”

Rourou scoffed before she turned and disappeared.

Before Heavenly Center could open his mouth to speak, he was interrupted by the illusion, “Don’t ask any questions; you will just be wasting your own breath. You should also try to suppress the anger and indignance in your heart as soon as possible, because even if you become a Blazing Sun Owner, you will not be able to take your revenge against her.

“It’s okay if you don’t believe me; you can try it out for yourself in the future. Anyway, when the Blazing Suns gather together again, it doesn’t matter to me who eventually becomes the new Blazing Sun Owner, as long as it isn’t Qin Yu.”

Heavenly Center was silent.

The illusion smiled before he left.
