Chapter 854A – Origin of Rebirth
Chapter 854A – Origin of Rebirth
“Qin Yu, you have exceeded my expectations once again. As I thought, in the endless river of fate, it is destined that I will not obtain the turning point for my future so easily. Perhaps this can be regarded as a test exacted upon me by the Heavenly Dao. But the more severe a test is, the greater the rewards are!” The Ancient’s calm voice constantly echoed through space. “However, there is something that perhaps I should warn you of. Although you have fused with the Dao Monarch’s Great Dao, his soul has yet to fade.
“In other words, everything you possess now won’t necessarily be yours in the end. Because as time passes, the Dao Monarch’s soul will gradually repair itself in his Great Dao, finally taking your place to seize your will and body! With your strength you now have the qualifications to sense the world. When I revealed this matter to you, you should have already sensed it.”
Qin Yu calmly nodded. “I thank senior for the reminder. I do sense it and I know that what you say is true. The Dao Monarch had another goal in mind when he granted me his Great Dao. But in this situation I have no other choice. Even if I know the Dao Monarch is scheming something else, I can only struggle and do my best.”
He took a step forward. As he did, endless might swept up from between the heavens and earth. It rumbled and galloped like a howling sea. Every action and movement he made was supported by the power of the world. By raising a hand, he had the potential to shatter rivers and mountains. This was already more than a level beyond the realm of touching the world.
A chill swept through the Ancient’s heart. He suddenly had a terrifying suspicion. Since Qin Yu could become someone he knew about from hundreds of thousands of years ago who could grant him a new turning point to life, was there a chance that he himself was also known to Qin Yu long ago, someone that would become a crucial character to him…?
Although this sounded a bit complicated, it was easy to understand what the Ancient was worried about. If this was the case then everything could be explained.
That meant Qin Yu was the same as himself; he was someone with a great scheming plot in his own mind. Did Qin Yu patiently wait hundreds of thousands of years for today? Was this why Qin Yu was suddenly able to burst out with such a powerful strength? Was this why he was able to erupt with a boundary that was as profound as the world?
Qin Yu had no idea that his actions had created a formidable psychological suppression in the Ancient’s mind. But, there was one thing he knew. Because of their clash just now where he didn’t fall into a disadvantage, the Ancient felt dread. Otherwise, the Ancient wouldn’t have wasted his time mentioning the Dao Monarch.
Because this in itself was an invisible way to pressure Qin Yu. Even if Qin Yu knew of this, he wouldn’t be able to help diverting part of his mind to thinking about it.
Even if it was only a minor part, in a battle of this level the slightest difference could determine life or death. Thus the Ancient wasn’t worried that Qin Yu would see through his words, because the moment he spoke up he had already achieved his goal.
Bang –
Qin Yu’s Ancient God Spear came crashing down like a comet erupting with its final dying light. It howled through the skies, tearing through the endless darkness as it aimed at the Ancient’s head.
From beginning to end, his consciousness had been sober and clear. This Ancient might be incredibly powerful, but he didn’t possess a genuine mortal body…in other words, what he was erupting with now was only a manifestation of his absolutely powerful soul force!
And where the Ancient God Spear thrust towards was the strongest nexus of the Ancient’s soul fluctuations…it was the strongest point and also the weakest point. As long as he pierced through this point, the Ancient would perish!
As the Ancient faced the spear strike that was like a falling star, he furrowed his eyebrows. A shaken look appeared in his eyes, then transforming into gloominess. This was because he felt that this spear had deadlocked onto him. No matter how he dodged, even if he ran away to another world, it would be impossible to avoid it.
Many years ago in his hometown, he had felt this feeling from a genuinely great powerhouse. With just a thought, that person was able to lock onto everything within the world. Everything had been in their control without any possibility of escape…as long as that person attacked, their opponent could only withstand it head-on and then turn into flying ash!
While the might within Qin Yu’s spear couldn’t achieve that terrifying level, the boundary was actually the same. This was why the Ancient felt terror. As he stared tightly at Qin Yu, his expression became even more dignified. He was increasingly sure of his previous suspicions.
Qin Yu was absolutely extraordinary!
“Fight!” The Ancient roared. The Ancient God Armor on his body trembled as a billowing aura shot into the skies like an en erupting volcano. This shout seemed to activate some hidden strength inside him, causing his aura to dramatically rise once more.
The Ancient God Spear swept out. Wherever it went, space collapsed and tumbled down like dreadful waves galloping forth.
In the next moment, Qin Yu’s starfall-like spear landed. Looking from afar, it was like a blazing sun crashing into a sea of darkness and being directly swallowed up by the waves.
But this wasn’t the end. Countless cracks started to form in the turbulent black waves, each crack emitting beams of radiant light.
The entire space shook and the ancient blue lines began to disintegrate. The imprisonment imposed by Qin Yu began to finally collapse after being subjected to the force from both sides. Shockwaves of destruction rushed out, sweeping over everything.
Qin Yu sighed inwardly. It really was useless. Even though he erupted with his strongest strike, he wasn’t able to cause heavy losses to the Ancient. If things continued like this then as time passed he would eventually fall into a difficult position.
After all, the strength he possessed now was only because of the jade pendant embryo egg’s existence. It forcefully fused the Dao Monarch’s Great Dao together with the strength of the super dragon. But this sort of fusion wouldn’t last for a long time. Just the fact that the Dragon Soul was incomplete made this sort of fusion several times more difficult!
But Qin Yu didn’t feel regret. If he didn’t take the initiative to extract a part of the Dragon Soul, Zhou Li really would have died, and this was something that was against his conscience. Even if he survived today it would be difficult to disperse the guilt in his heart. It would become an emotion he would never be able to get rid of.
A true man lived fearlessly in the world, knowing there were things that could be done and things that shouldn’t be done…even if the road ahead was difficult and there were life and death disasters then he should just face them. After all, before the final moment arrived it was still impossible to know who would be the last one remaining.
As Qin Yu’s thoughts surged he took a deep breath, preparing himself to strike with his full strength once more. The more the situation dragged out, the more disadvantageous things would be for him.
But at this time, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes. He looked somewhere behind the Ancient. There, space was destroyed by the reverberations of strength. The ancient blue lines had appeared to try and keep space intact so that it wasn’t completely broken.
Qin Yu felt an exceptional fluctuation from these cracks. It was small and weak, so faint that it was nearly unable to be sensed. But, it gave off a horrifying feeling, as if a deeply slumbering beast was hidden within that space and once it woke up it would swallow everything here into its belly. Whether it was him or the Ancient, they would all become food in its belly.
His heart chilled and cold hairs rose on his back. After obtaining the strength of the Dao Monarch’s Great Dao and the super dragon, this was the first time Qin Yu felt this sort of terrifying oppression that came from something that existed at the top of the food chain.
This was a kind of horror that was enough to frighten the soul even if it lay quiet and motionless. He could only stare on helplessly as fear slowly swallowed his mind!
Even with Qin Yu’s strong mentality, his first response was to run far, far away. Only by relying on his formidable will was he barely able to suppress these thoughts. His mind raced. As he breathed he closed his eyes, sensing the strength hidden within that space.
Soon, he made a discovery. The aura hidden away in that space was indeed incomparably terrifying, but it seemed to be constantly sealed in an unconscious condition. Then, what was this strength?
As this thought appeared, information gushed out and appeared somewhere deep in Qin Yu’s mind – “The Origin of Rebirth. With great cost it is thrust into one’s body and refined. When the main body perishes it will be activated automatically, allowing for subsequent revival. Only those with at least an Origin God cultivation boundary have the qualifications to use this. Remember, the Origin of Rebirth has its own self-defense mechanism. Anyone below the Origin God realm that touches it will die!”
Qin Yu had no idea what sort of boundary the Origin God boundary was, but at the very least he discovered what sort of existence this was.
An Origin God’s Origin of Rebirth. If its self-defense mechanism was activated, would even the formidable Ancient be erased? Suddenly, a swift and fierce look flashed in Qin Yu’s eyes as he came to a decision in his heart. Right now he had no other choice. Whether he lived or died, it would all depend on this!
Bang –
He took a step forward and the thundering rumbles between the heavens and earth grew even louder. The Ancient God Spear drew a strange arc in the air as he gathered all of his strength into its point.
Qin Yu had to force the Ancient backwards, close enough so that he approached that shattered space. Only then could he stimulate the Origin of Rebirth to activate its self-defense mechanisms and then take advantage of that power to kill him.
Whoosh –
The Ancient God Spear crashed down!
At this moment, facing the Ancient God Spear’s attack, a foreboding premonition suddenly appeared in the Ancient’s heart. It was impossible for him to state what it was. It was like there was a sunny day and suddenly a thin layer of dark clouds appeared out of nowhere. Although it wasn’t thick, it would still give off a feeling that rain could fall at any moment. And heavy rain was often accompanied by lightning, and if lightning fell…there was the possibility that someone could die.
The Ancient’s heart chilled. Qin Yu’s spear actually made him think of ‘death’. This in itself was a horrifying premonition. At his level of cultivation, every sudden thought that appeared might be the manifestation of some possible future.
But what he couldn’t figure out was why he only had this strange sensation and couldn’t determine the source of the danger. Could it be that the level of this danger had surpassed his boundary?
His eyes flashed. The Ancient thrust out the spear in his hands and the two Ancient God Spears clashed in the void, like two great dark dragons ruthlessly slaughtering each other. But now, as the tips of the spears rose up at the same time, most of the rumbling force of the collision crashing into the skies above.
The space there instantly shattered, forming a giant black hole. Ancient blue lines appeared in the shattered space, constantly disintegrating and collapsing.
Now that the Ancient felt the threat of an unknown existence, the cautiousness he had cultivated over the long years made him choose to temporarily retreat. With a patient posture, he would find the source of this danger that made him feel so wary. But, this choice would inevitably cause him to be at a slight disadvantage when facing Qin Yu.
So, the Ancient took one step back. But because he was 100,000 feet tall, this single step backwards was a step too far.
If time could be reversed, the Ancient would certainly regret this decision. Because this single step backwards had decided the path of his inevitable destruction.
