Chapter 616 – Burying ‘Ning Ling’

Each fragment of the ice sword transformed into an extremely cold energy that drilled into Qin Yu’s flesh and blood like an iron needle.

Kacha –

Kacha –

A pale blue layer of ice instantly covered him, turning him into an ice sculpture. Like a seal, it completely suppressed Qin Yu’s aura.

Within his soul space, a black spot appeared. It immediately broke free from its shell. A thick system of black roots threaded into Qin Yu’s soul.

The originally deathly silent black spot emitted a dull thumping sound like a heart that had been revived. It slowly synchronized together with Qin Yu’s own heartbeat.

On the surface of his body, the blue layer of ice cracked apart and fell free from him. This was because it had fulfilled its mission.

Puff –

Qin Yu spat out a mouthful of blood. Before his blood landed on the floor it froze into ch.i.p.s of ice that scattered on the ground.

Qin Yu seemed to have been awakened. He looked up at the faint Shen Yuanyin. His lips moved, but before he could speak, he slumped to the ground.

The four old monsters that commanded the Immortal Executing Sword Array all revealed looks of wild joy. They thought that the heart of a woman really was the most poisonous thing in this world. The master of Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace had only needed to use a minor effort to severely injure Qin Yu.

While he was down, take his life. Since they were all creatures that had become wily over time, they naturally couldn’t miss out on such a good opportunity.

“Severing Immortal!”

“Extinguishing Immortal!”

“Slaughtering Immortal!”

“Slaying Immortal!”

The four old freaks all stood up together. The sword curtain rumbled in unison; this was the howling of a trillion sword lights.

“Die!”

The sword curtain rapidly shrank. The sword lights that roared through the skies began to rapidly fuse together, turning into even clearer sword phantoms. All of these sword phantoms were raised up into the air. Then, they pointed down at Qin Yu. Before they arrived, they already released an aura that seemed as if it could destroy all.

The Buddhist Nation Sovereign and Nether Domain Master glanced at each other. They revealed a puzzled expression, but that confusion only lasted for a brief moment before it disappeared.

They had no idea why the Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace Master would suddenly attack Qin Yu. But, all they cared about was the result, not how they got there. The current situation was even better than before. A severely wounded Demon Sovereign would undoubtedly be much easier to kill.

But at this time, their complexions changed. The shrinking sword curtain suddenly froze.

In the next moment a massive opening appeared on the surface of the sword curtain, as if someone had ruthlessly chopped down at it. A man and a bird appeared at the opening. The strange three-legged bird was retracting its wings; it appeared that it had been the one who created the opening in the sword curtain.

Several black feathers fell. The strange bird’s eyes were cold as it growled, “You four old bastards, you just destroyed my feathers!”

Then, the strange bird unfolded its wings. It howled forth, drilling into the sword curtain as fast as lightning.

“Dao Arena Master!”

“Solitary Westgate!”

Although they could only see his figure at present, the aura of a supreme being of the world was still as dazzling and striking as the sun.

There was also that hateful three-legged bird!

The two of them immediately recalled what happened back in Four Seasons City. It seemed that Solitary Westgate had come to some sort of agreement with the Demon Sovereign.

If so, things were now troublesome…

All of the people here were supreme beings of the world, but even at this level there were still those that were stronger and those that were weaker. Looking through the entire Land of Divinity and Demons, the Dao Arena Master would still be ranked in the top three. While the Dao Arena Master alone couldn’t defeat the three of them together, it wouldn’t be difficult if he wanted to screw up their plans and take away the Demon Sovereign. Moreover, even if the Demon Sovereign had been heavily wounded, the Demon Sovereign was still the Demon Sovereign; no one could underestimate him.

But today was a uniquely excellent opportunity; they could not allow themselves to miss it. The Buddhist Nation Sovereign and Nether Domain Master stepped forward. With a flick of their sleeves they split apart the sword curtain and walked in.

They didn’t mean to intentionally ruin the Immortal Executing Sword Array, but they knew that since the three-legged strange bird had become angry, this sword array was no longer useful. That bird was the nemesis of all array formations in this world. No matter how formidable or exquisite an array formation was, it could easily destroy them.

As expected, when the Buddhist Nation Sovereign and Nether Domain Master entered, the inside of the sword curtain had already been torn and tattered. The strange three-legged bird screeched as it flew about and sword phantoms collapsed wherever it visited. The detonating strength also began to cause a chain of destruction within the sword curtain itself.

To put it more simply, the strange bird was using the sword curtain’s own strength to destroy it.

Woodchopper Fu almost cried out loud. The four old fellows had summoned the greatest courage of their lives to utilize the secret arrangements they had been preparing for countless years. In the end, they had managed to draw the Yan Empire and Immortal Sect into the mud with them. They were almost about to succeed, so why did this newcomer have to jump in out of nowhere?

Why did you do this to us? Between people, can’t there just be a little more trust and help?

Moreover, those that came were the Dao Arena Master and that strange bird. When Woodchopper Fu saw these two, his legs couldn’t help but shake.

He was done for. His scheme today was destined to fail. From this day forth, what awaited him was the wild retaliation of the Demonic Path.

Woodchopper Fu suddenly stood up and walked away without saying a single word. As for joining forces to help maintain the sword array? What ridiculous nonsense! What mattered the most in this world was his own life!

As soon as he turned around, Woodchopper Fu could hear the sounds of the Immortal Executing Sword Array collapsing. He cursed inwardly. Those old bastards, he was lucky he had run away first!

Woodchopper Fu had lived until now by living like a little mouse. Not only did he rely on all sorts of methods to extend his life to live this long, but to have the timidity and wariness of a mouse was an equally important reason. As soon as he saw the situation worsening, he was the first to prepare to leave, no matter what the ending would be like. To live longer, he could resort to anything!

The Dao Arena Master’s eyes were cold. As he looked at Woodchopper Fu and the other three old freaks scurrying away, he coldly humphed.

Qin Yu was the turning point for reviving his wife and child. Before his goal was achieved, his life was of critical importance.

Any attempt to kill him was undoubtedly challenging the bottom line of the Dao Arena Master.

It wasn’t convenient for Solitary Westgate to chase after him today, but he would remember this. To be marked by such a terrifying supreme being of this world, the consequences were undoubtedly horrifying!

The Buddhist Nation Sovereign furrowed his eyebrows. These pieces of pathetic trash, they didn’t even have the tiny sliver of courage to fight until the end. And they still thought they could comprehend something that would allow them to surpass the fear of life and death? What a dream! Even after another million years passed they were doomed to still achieve nothing!

He took a step forward and looked straight at the Dao Arena Master. “Today’s war between the Immortal and Demonic Sects has nothing to do with the Dao Arena. If fellow daoist Westgate can back down, the Immortal Sect would be deeply grateful.” In this situation diplomacy came before force. Even though he knew the chances of this working weren’t too high, as a supreme being of this world, it was the respect that should be paid to him.

The Immortal Executing Sword Array loudly collapsed, fading between the world. The strange three-legged bird stared bitterly at the four old freaks who ran away, a cruel light in its eyes.

The strange bird eerily screeched before flapping its wings and flying up. “Stop being so delusional. The Demon Sovereign is my master’s friend. If you know your limitations then get the hell out of here. Stop wasting our time on useless arguments!”

The Buddhist Nation Sovereign’s eyes were ice cold. As a supreme being of the world, he could not allow his dignity to be provoked. “If there is ever a chance in the future, I will take you into my Buddhist pagoda and use the power of a million buddhas to enlighten you.”

The strange three-legged bird taunted, “You pathetic bald man, what kind of impudent garbage are you vomiting out now? If you want to fight then come on over, I’m not scared of you at all!” Its aura was arrogant and reckless. As it spoke it flew in front of the Dao Arena Master, blocking the line of sight of the Buddhist Nation Sovereign.

“Silence. The Buddhist Nation Sovereign isn’t someone you should offend.” Solitary Westgate scolded. He cupped his hands together and said, “Buddhist Nation Sovereign, Nether Domain Master, I was entrusted by the Demon Sovereign to accompany him to the Immortal Sect and guarantee his safety for some time. If possible, please give me some face and allow me to bring the Demon Sovereign away.”

The Nether Domain Master was without expression. “Fellow daoist Westgate possesses a formidable cultivation and I admire your strength. But, the three heads of my Immortal Sect are all gathered here. Fellow daoist Westgate…I ask you to reconsider your decision. The Immortal Sect has never had any thoughts of making the Dao Arena our enemy.”

Solitary Westgate glanced at the pale Qin Yu and lightly said, “The three heads of the Immortal Sect are here, but that doesn’t mean you all have the intent of killing the Demon Sovereign.”

The atmosphere turned quiet!

Shen Yuanyin said, “I said today that I would let the Demon Sovereign leave.”

If it wasn’t because they cared about their image, the Buddhist Nation Sovereign and Nether Domain Master would have hopped onto their feet and started spouting out curses. Big sister, what is the meaning of this? You were the one who severely wounded the Demon Sovereign and created this opportunity. Now, you are jumping in to oppose killing him. Are you playing with us?

If the three of them joined forces, then even if Solitary Westgate was protecting Qin Yu there was still a chance of killing him. But, that all depended on what Shen Yuanyin decided to do. Drawing back from this battle was one possibility, but there was also a chance she would turn on them in a fit of rage.

The Buddhist Nation Sovereign and Nether Domain Master paled. They angrily coughed and then turned to leave. Today was simply…some ridiculous comedic play!

“I thank Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace Master.” Solitary Westgate cupped his hands together and then teleported away with Qin Yu.

Shen Yuanyin stood where she was. Her head was lowered, concealing the pain deep in her eyes.

Qin Yu…I’m sorry…I’m really sorry…I didn’t intentionally harm you…

Once the Sublime Lost Emotion Code reached large success, there was no turning back. If Shen Yuanyin acknowledged that she was Ning Ling, the terrifying backlash would cause her soul to wither and perish.

If she perished, Qin Yu would surely die from heartbreak. If he put the blame of her death on himself, she was afraid he would choose to end his own life.

Thus, Shen Yuanyin had to guarantee that she lived. She had to bury the Ning Ling that existed in Qin Yu’s heart and force him to give up. This was the reason she came up with the so-called samsara incarnation.

As for the ice sword that exploded just now, the one who did that wasn’t Shen Yuanyin. To be more exact, it was the will of the Sublime Lost Emotion Code that appeared after reaching large success. Because of her previous backlash, signs had already begun to appear that she was losing her own will.

“Qin Yu…Qin Yu…you must survive…you must…” She muttered to herself. As she did her face paled and dark red blood dripped out from the corners of her lips. The blood landed on her white dress and bloomed like red flowers.

Space shattered, collapsing inwards. Shen Yuanyin closed her eyes and fell forward.

Immortal Sect, Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace.

Shen Yuanyin walked out from the shattered space. A cold air lingered around her. Every step she took caused a circle of ice to appear.

Lan Ruo came to a sudden stop. Her eyes widened, “Master…” Before she finished speaking her eyes reddened and she shivered.

Shen Yuanyin’s eyes were as cold as winter, piercing deep into the bone. With just a single glance, she made one feel as if their soul would freeze. It was difficult to even think in her presence.

Lan Ruo’s own Sublime Lost Emotion Code began to revolve on its own, resisting the terrifying oppression coming at her. This action seemed to awaken Shen Yuanyin’s consciousness.

Shen Yuanyin paused for a moment before looking away. “I’m fine.”

She continued walking forward, slowly disappearing into the depths of the hall.

Snow started to fall from the skies. Massive snowflakes soon covered the earth. All around one could see a vast layer of white with Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace at the center. The surrounding temperature began to drastically fall. Rivers turned to ice and even the swaying tree branches came to a standstill.

If one looked from high up above, they would see the white snow and ice rapidly proliferating outwards!

On this day, Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace was sealed away from the outside!
