Qin Yu’s blood energy was violently shaking within the endless darkness, as if his body which was the incarnation of the Ancient race was violently resisting the plundering from the Origin of the Devil.

But the strength of the abyss was like ink. Once contaminated it would be impossible to get rid of it. It continued to corrode Qin Yu’s blood energy away.

Then, like the arrival of the everlasting night, the darkness gradually approached Qin Yu. It wanted to submerge him, assimilate him, and thoroughly swallow him.

Hoh –

Hoh –

The roars of the Ancient race were like billowing thunderclaps. But, they couldn’t break through the imprisonment of the darkness. The darkness grew closer and closer until it finally covered that heaven-supporting body.

The world had turned black, as if everything had come to an end.

“Hahahaha…” The corpse-like Devil Overlord cackled, “Demon Sovereign, in the end you still die in front of me!”

But what he didn’t realize was that there was no joy on the face of the Origin of the Devil. Its eyebrows were furrowed together instead, revealing a slightly dreary expression.

For everything in this world, there were countless variables that led to an unpredictable future. Often, when one was unprepared, surprises would rush at a person with a resolute attitude.

The Origin of the Devil revealed a strange look in its eyes. After a long silence, it let out a deep breath and muttered, “I never imagined that in such a distant and bleak land, I would encounter a member of that bloodline. Although it is only half and it is incomplete…he is still a member of that clan.”

There were some other words that the Origin of the Devil didn’t say. Since this person was a member of that clan, he wouldn’t die like this.

Just as its voice fell, the darkness that flooded the world blew up from within without warning. A terrifying aura erupted like a volcano.

Qin Yu was restored to his original size. His black hair surged in the wind. Dark golden lines wove together on his faint face. His pupils had turned a light gray color and a dreadfully cold and cruel aura was released from his body. It was like even the collapsing heavens and earth around him couldn’t shake his mind in the least.

Qin Yu looked up at the Origin of the Devil. He took a step forward and punched out.

The might and potential behind this fist was almost indescribable. Although it seemed to be moving straight, it was like a star falling to the earth, bringing with it an absolute power that could easily destroy anything.

Vast and boundless, it could not be avoided, it could not be resisted, it could not be blocked!

For a moment, the world fell into a deathly silence. Then, like the surface of a mirror, it cracked. The cracks penetrated through the three-horned incarnation of the Origin of the Devil, they penetrated through the wide-eyed Devil Overlord Babasa, and they penetrated through the world behind them as well.

Everything broke apart, tumbling down as it was constantly annihilated, finally vanishing into nothingness.

This punch seemed to have exhausted all of Qin Yu’s strength. He closed his eyes and fell backwards. The dark golden lines that wove across his face rapidly disappeared.

Then, dark gray lines appeared on the surface of his body like a spider web, immediately sinking into him.

An extremely thin and pale Solitary Westgate rushed over and grabbed Qin Yu. After giving Qin Yu a shocked look, he turned and tore through space, escaping within.

…

In that far off world, in the golden sun-like divine palace that stood above the earth, the shocked figure finally let out a long breath.

“That clan’s bloodline is still wandering about outside…no wonder I didn’t sense it before. With that clan’s methods, if they decided to seal Qin Yu away, just who could discover it?

“But, if they chose to seal him away, why not just kill him? That clan has always held the purity of their bloodline in the highest of regards.”

The figure fell into silence once more, as if thinking about something. “Whatever. There must be other secrets behind this. Since I am not yet involved with that clan, it is impossible to figure out.

“But today’s events have untied a puzzle in my heart, one that has been nagging at me for all this time…Qin Yu…I fear that your surname isn’t Qin…”

Beneath the great sun, at the height of the white clouds, the Star Cutting Grass cheerfully beat up and down. Its giant leaves swept through space, cutting open cracks.

The wind carried with it the sounds of cheers.

…

“Ahhh!”

A cry of extreme pain resounded from deep within the Dark Night Demon Region. A vast darkness shook like the tide, emitting thunderous roars.

Shua –

Sitting down cross-legged in the darkness, the Dark Night Supreme Seat suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils violently contracted before turning upwards.

“Qin Yu!”

“Qin Yu!”

Repressed roars constantly echoed through the hall.

…

The Emperor of the Qin Empire had perished and the Immortal Sect world had collapsed. In a single day, it was like a meteor had fallen into the sea. Endless waves swept throughout the entirety of the Land of Divinity and Demons.

No one thought that the situation would suddenly change in such a terrifying turn of events. The Demonic Path that was on the decline had decided the war in a single battle.

The name of the Demonic Path’s Holy Monarch, Qin Yu, was at the height of its power!

The Yan and Qi Empires immediately fell into chaos. After determining that the Immortal Sect had become a part of history, they concluded an alliance treaty with the Chu Empire without any hesitation.

The Han and Wei Empires followed close behind, joining in on the alliance. Many other influences that were dependent on the Immortal Sect as well as many influences that were enemies with the Demonic Path also join in. The alliance was finally formed with the five great empires as the head.

With the destruction of the Qin Empire, their territory was incorporated into the Zhao Empire. After losing an army of three million troops, the Zhao Empire’s domain was able to surpass that of the Chu Empire in a single move, becoming the largest empire in the Land of Divinity and Demons.

The attached Demonic Path influences started to expand on a massive scale. Even if the Five Empires Alliance was formidable, they still fell into a disadvantage at every confrontation.

The reason was simple.

No one wished to draw out the terrifyingly strong Demon Sovereign once more.

Luckily, the Demonic Path didn’t seem to have any thoughts of unifying the world under their control for the time being. After a period of collision, the situation gradually calmed down.

The Five Empires Alliance didn’t know that the Qin Yu they feared and dreaded so much had fallen into a deep slumber after the destruction of the Immortal Sect and hadn’t yet regained consciousness.

Time continued to flow. In the blink of an eye, a year passed. You Qi watched Qin Yu as he lay down on a bed. Besides the faint rise and fall of his chest, there was almost no other movement. She lifted a hand and covered her mouth, tears sparkling in her eyes.

“Your Majesty, a year has already passed. Not only have you not woken up, but your aura is only becoming weaker…I cannot wait any further. I must follow the suggestion of the Dao Arena Master and bet everything on one final attempt…I hope that my decision is correct. If anything were to happen to you…then I will come accompany you on the road to the yellow springs.”

She dried her tears and walked out of the hall. By this time, she had composed herself. Besides her slightly reddened eyes, one couldn’t see any fluctuation in her mood.

She bowed. “I leave everything to you two.”

Beneath a golden mask, Yama’s eyes were solemn. “Imperial Consort You, rest assured that I will try my best.”

Solitary Westgate drew in a deep breath. “Since a decision has been made, let us not delay any further. With Qin Yu’s current condition, we must begin as soon as possible.”

You Qi moved to the side. She said, “I will be waiting here for His Majesty to emerge.”

Solitary Westgate furrowed his eyebrows. From these words, he could sense her resolve. If anything were to happen to Qin Yu, he feared this Imperial Consort You would follow right behind.

In this world, feelings of love were the most difficult to resolve. Solitary Westgate hesitated for a moment and decided not to say anything. He nodded at Yama and stepped into the hall.

Rumble rumble –

The doors slowly closed behind them, isolating them from the outside. No other sounds came out.
