Refining the Mountains and Rivers

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.
