Chapter 1168: The Eternal Night Arrives
Bathed in darkness, becoming the incarnation of darkness, and controlling darkness, Qin Yu already believed the words of the devil behind the door.
Through the power of darkness that invaded its body, Qin Yu had been able to feel its horror and despair before it died. In that situation it was almost impossible for the devil life form to deceive him.
So the most likely scenario was that You Qi really did vanish. Qin Yu didn’t know what the reason was, but he had a foreboding premonition, as if he would never be able to find her again.
This was a bad feeling, so bad that while Qin Yu had become the incarnation of darkness, he nearly lost his mind. If it wasn’t for his instinctive restraint, he would have destroyed everything he saw before him.
You Qi had vanished…she had vanished…she had vanished…every time this thought repeated itself in his mind, his eyes filled with wild brutality.
Like a vicious beast out of control, he was only driven by his instincts to find another woman who was important to him.
Since he had lost You Qi, he absolutely couldn’t lose Ning Ling. This was the only thought left in his mind.
Darkness blocked out the skies, so vast that it could be seen from every corner of the world. Infinite shadows spread along the ground as if the eternal night had arrived!
Despite the long distance, all eyes that saw it felt uncontrollable fear.
This was a strength so great that they didn’t dare to imagine it with their current boundary. If a volcano were to erupt near ants, the strength that burst out would be enough to burn those ants to ashes.
Solitary Westgate’s eyes flew open. He already knew that Qin Yu had reached an unfathomable boundary, but as he saw the rumbling darkness moving across the skies, his estimation of the upper limits of Qin Yu’s strength rose again.
But what had caused Qin Yu to lose his composure like this? He could sense the bloodthirst and cruelty in the darkness.
Shan Wugu’s complexion clouded over and he took a deep breath. “I fear something happened to Ning Ling or You Qi.”
He had a worried expression. The Qin Yu right now was unfamiliar to him. All that remained was the aura of death and destruction.
This was obviously dangerous. If he wasn’t careful, he might even produce a backlash.
Since he grew up with Qin Yu, he had a good understanding of his friend’s personality. The more sentimental a person was, the more they could be hurt by those sentiments.
If things were as he guessed…Qin Yu was in danger!
Solitary Westgate forced a smile, “All we can do now is wait. With Qin Yu in his current state, we will just be sending ourselves to our deaths if we try to approach.”
It was too horrifying!
The dark energy was like a giant bloody mouth that had already opened. Any existence that dared to block it would be torn to shreds and swallowed up.
Immortal Origin was an honorific title. It could probably be interpreted as the…the source of the Immortal Path.
Even though most beings in this world didn’t know what the Immortal Path was.
But no one doubted Immortal Origin’s power. As the forces of darkness wreaked havoc, only its protected region was able to enjoy peace.
The new Immortal Sect had been rebuilt under the guidance of Immortal Origin. It took less than a hundred years of collecting disciples for a bit of the Immortal Sect’s past glory to reappear.
Now, dozens of immortal mountains were suspended in the skies above the earth. They were lush and verdant with celestial birds flying amongst them and cloud lingering all around. The roars of beasts could be heard from between the pavilions. This was a solemn school of immortals.
But now, the Immortal Sect’s peaceful atmosphere had completely disappeared. Countless cultivators with broad and long sleeves gathered together, looking at the horizon as if they faced a great enemy.
Darkness surged towards them like a tide. They could already hear the sound of roaring thunder that left their hearts palpitating.
Although it was far away, all of the cultivators understood that the target of this darkness was the Immortal Sect.
“Not long ago, Immortal Origin felt powerful aura fluctuations of crossing realms. It should have been power from the Devil World.” An Immortal Sect powerhouse said.
“Is it possible that a powerhouse from the Devil World arrived?” Another Immortal Sect powerhouse asked, his eyebrows furrowing together, “They haven’t given up yet?”
“Humph! With Immortal Origin sheltering us, who cares if someone from the Devil World came?”
Although the Immortal Sect cultivator said this, he soon turned pale white.
The darkness was deep like an abyss, as binding as a prison. Seeing it from a distance was one thing, but only when it was close did they understand its true horrors.
The dozens of floating celestial mountains fell into a deathly silence.
The clouds were dispersed by strong winds. Thick ancient trees were uprooted one after enough, engulfed in midair and smashed to pieces.
The birds flying in the air screeched in fear and flew away. Wild beasts grabbed their heads and fell to the ground, trembling.
Bang –
A sword phantom shot into the skies. Vast and boundless sword intent swept out in all directions. It stood before the darkness, as if it could sever all.
An Immortal Sect cultivator holding a sword stepped forward, his face dignified. He coldly said, “Immortal Origin has already come to an agreement with the Darkness Faction. No matter what the reason is, if you don’t leave now, you will be violating the agreement and will withstand a punishment from both sides!”
Bang –
Dark energy instantly erupted, condensing into a terrifying hand that grasped forward.
The Immortal Sect sword cultivator was enraged. He never thought that the enemy would attack without saying a word. And what left him quaking the most was that the power contained in this strike was inconceivable.
“Cut!”
With a shout, the sword phantom slashed out, colliding with the hand of darkness.
The sword intent was filled with overwhelming momentum, but the result left everyone shocked. At the moment of collision, the sword phantom burst apart. Then, the Immortal Sect sword cultivator was slapped away.
He burst apart while he was still in midair, turning into broken bones and flesh that splashed out like a flower.
The hand of darkness didn’t stop. It continued smashing down at the Immortal Sect people. A deep and cold roar spread out from the dark energy, “Give her…back to me!”
“How insolent!”
“You evil beast, you dare to provoke my Immortal Sect!?”
“We respectfully request Immortal Origin to kill this beast!”
The frightened and angry Immortal Sect cultivators fled in distress even as they shouted in anger. But, there was irrepressible fear in their eyes.
Despite Immortal Sword’s strength, he was killed in a single strike. That devil who arrived in this world was unexpectedly terrifying.
But fear was just fear. They didn’t feel true despair because the Immortal Sect had Immortal Origin…or to be more exact, Immortal Origin was the reason that the Immortal Sect existed!
“We respectfully request Immortal Origin to kill this beast!”
The Immortal Sect cultivators roared in unison.
As they did, the fear in their eyes vanished, replaced with shining excitement. It was like they already saw the scene of Immortal Origin routing the darkness.
But then, nothing happened.
Bang –
With a heaven-shaking explosion, the hand of darkness crushed a floating celestial mountain. Some weak Immortal Sect cultivators that hadn’t yet left were smashed apart before they could even scream.
Then a second, a third…
The hand of darkness pushed forward with unstoppable momentum, crushing everything in its path. The fleeing Immortal Sect cultivators paled.
Why hadn’t Immortal Origin responded? They couldn’t figure it out!
“We respectfully request Immortal Origin to help!” An Immortal Sect cultivator shrilly cried out, his chest stained with blood as he looked at the highest celestial mountain.
All of the Immortal Sect cultivators knew that Immortal Origin was there.
But there was still no response. The Immortal Sect cultivator miserably smiled as he was swallowed up by the power of darkness. Then, his aura completely vanished.
“Give her back to me!” A roar resounded from the darkness once again, flooded with manic craziness.
Bang –
Another hand of darkness appeared. The speed at which the Immortal Sect’s celestial mountains were being destroyed increased.
“Run away! Flee to where Immortal Origin is!”
The Immortal Sect cultivators frantically ran. The power of darkness was too terrifying, so terrifying that anyone who dared to stop it was killed.
Powerful cultivators could run away, but there were weaklings everywhere, even in the newly risen Immortal Sect. Once their celestial mountain was destroyed, all that awaited them was death.
And the reason these people with weak and small cultivations were able to live in the Immortal Sect was either because they had outstanding talent and would be the future pillars of the Immortal Sect, or they had relatives that were Immortal Sect powerhouses.
But no matter which possibility it was, as massive numbers of them were killed, the eyes of the Immortal Sect cultivators reddened.
The place where Immortal Origin resided was the sacred land of the Immortal Sect. No one was allowed to step into it, even if they were Immortal Sect cultivators.
Massive numbers of Immortal Sect cultivators gathered outside the highest celestial mountain. Their red eyes were filled with hate and inconcealable despair.
Because Immortal Origin had sealed the celestial mountain, refusing them entry!
“Will Immortal Origin just watch on as we are all killed off today?” An Immortal Sect cultivator roared, tears of blood streaking down his face.
Their relatives and friends were buried in the ruins of the celestial mountains below. The pain and suffering in their hearts was beyond the understanding of outsiders.
The celestial mountain remained silent.
The Immortal Sect cultivators cried out and shot into the skies. They crashed into the darkness and exploded.
“I’ll fight you!”
“Even if I die, I will tear off a chunk of his flesh!”
“How can we Immortal Sect cultivators do nothing and wait for death!”
Whoosh –
Whoosh –
Figures shot up into the skies one after another, firing towards the two hands of darkness like moths to a flame. Explosions lit up the skies. In a few breaths of time, almost half the powerhouses that the Immortal Sect had gathered up over a hundred years had died.
A sigh came from the celestial mountain. The barrier suddenly opened up, dragging in the remaining Immortal Sect cultivators.
Space slightly twisted and a phantom appeared. It stared at the power of darkness and said, “These years, I have been feeling restless all this time. It seems that retribution has finally come.”
He lifted a hand and pressed forward. A trillion sword lights appeared, weaving together and forming a shield.
Bang –
Bang –
The two hands of darkness seemed to sense something. They ignored the celestial mountains that hadn’t been destroyed yet and attacked the shield of sword lights.
Scales were crushed by sword lights, turning into dark energy that faded away. But, the hands of darkness didn’t stop as the power that bombarded them only grew stronger.
“Give her back to me!”
Qin Yu stepped forth from the darkness. His eyes had turned pitch black, full of slaughter and destruction as he glared at Immortal Origin.
Within the celestial mountain, the Immortal Sect cultivators all knelt down.
“Immortal Origin, you cannot let this person go!”
“Over half of the Immortal Sect had been laid to waste by this person’s hands. A debt of blood must be repaid in blood!”
“I ask Immortal Origin to slay that beast!”
Immortal Origin’s phantom bitterly smiled. If he could smoothly kill Qin Yu he would have already done so. Why would he have patiently waited all this time?
He took a deep breath and stopped everyone from the Immortal Sect. “It is true that I was wrong in the past. Since you have killed countless people today, I hope that will melt away some of the anger in your heart.”
Qin Yu punched out a fist, “Give her back to me!”
Bang –
The barrier of sword lights fiercely shook.
Immortal Origin’s complexion changed. Then, the fluctuations that swept through the sword light barrier reached the edges and turned back. Next…everything collapsed!
Bang –
With an explosion, Immortal Origin stormed backwards. His illusory figure shivered like ripples in water. His eyes were filled with shock.
This power was greater than he expected.
“Because I was controlled by benevolence from a person, I had no choice but to do it, even if I didn’t want to. But I can truthfully tell you that before the unconscious woman could be sent out from this world, she vanished on her own. This matter is absolutely true!”
Immortal Origin quickly added, “All that I left in this world is a projection. Even if you kill me, I will only lose some strength.
“If you can give up here, I will surely repay you. I ask that you calm down and consider things before making the right decision!”
The only response was a scream from Qin Yu, “Die! You should all die!”
Bang –
His robes fluttered in the wind and his black hair flew backwards. Endless black energy exploded from his body, blotting out the skies.
In the blink of an eye, the world fell into pitch black darkness…the eternal night had arrived!
