《Refining the Mountains and Rivers》Chapter 876 – Great Dragon Overlord’s First Appearance
Advertisement
Qin Yu was awakened by a terrifying throbbing of his heart. His eyes flashed open and sweat immediately soaked his robes wet.
Without warning, severe pain erupted from his chest. It was like an invisible blade had ruthlessly stabbed into his flesh and blood.
He tightened his chest and raised his head. Though he opened his mouth, he couldn’t make any sounds at all. It was as if his entire body had been isolated from the world.
Severe pain burned without end. Starting from his chest, it proliferated through his limbs and bones. Then there was a loud crack from Qin Yu’s chest. This was his flesh and blood and bones cracking apart!
Thin bloodstains emerged from his chest, split, and expanded outwards. Then, they formed a terrifying wound that reached from his throat to his stomach.
Bang –
Bang –
Two beating hearts were exposed to the air. They rapidly contracted and expanded. The blood vessels that winded around them thickened like water pipes underneath immense pressure, about to burst at any moment.
The wound kept widening and the hearts grew increasingly irritable and hot. Their beating crazily accelerated, making it almost impossible for Qin Yu to withstand.
His vision flashed black and a sudden realization came to him. If he didn’t do anything soon then his hearts would break apart.
The surrounding space was imprisoned. In it, Qin Yu was like an insect captured in amber. All he could do was passively withstand this terrifying destructive strength.
He couldn’t resist, it was impossible to resist…like this, he could only helplessly watch as his final moments of death arrived.
After the panic and anger subsided, Qin Yu seemed to suddenly fall into a certain state, a will that crossed space and time.
This was the unwillingness and anger that the entire Ancient race had grasped throughout the endless years. It was a kind of toughness that stood tall in the world, one that refused to fall even after death!
Thus, a wild raging anger surged out from Qin Yu’s mind. It was like blazing magma, capable of swallowing all.
Qin Yu clenched his fists. Blue veins stuck out from his neck, looking like one fierce and giant python.
He opened his mouth and let loose a deep roar.
Hou –
This roar was not Qin Yu’s voice alone. It was the voice of the entire Ancient race, formed from the unwillingness and unyielding will branded in their bloodline.
Bang –
The invisible imprisonment in the air shattered with this roar. Qin Yu stood up tall, his cold eyes looking ahead.
A moment ago when he broke through the imprisonment, he had followed the link through the darkness and locked onto the source of this terrifying power…it came from Great King City!
At the same time, in Great King City’s City Lord Mansion, three obam priests spat out a mouthful of blood. Cracks covered their bodies like a dried river bed beneath the blazing sun.

Their life force rapidly faded away. The priests exhausted their final dregs of strength to leave behind a mote of light before they died.
These motes of lights were all they were able to form under the power of the backlash. It was the approximate location of their opponent.
The Great Dragon Overlord stood up without expression. His eyes didn’t pause on the three priests that died. He stepped forward and vanished from sight.
In the next moment, a shocking dragon’s cry spread throughout the entirety of Great King City. The Batwing Dragon King shot into the skies, meeting the Great Dragon Overlord who appeared in the air.
Bang –
With a great flap of dragon’s wings, space fluctuated and the batwing dragon shot forward like an arrow, howling into the horizon.
There, a great mountain range continuously winded along the earth, extending as far as one could see.
Hu –
Hu –
Qin Yu gasped for breath. Although the terrifying wound on his chest had already regenerated, the agonizing pain had yet to disappear.
As if even though his flesh and blood had regrown, the wound was still there. It was simply waiting for a chance to crack back open.
What sort of method was this?
Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows. This shouldn’t be a curse otherwise the mark of the Cursed Eye on his body would have been triggered. At that time, things would truly have become troublesome.
Just as he started to rejoice, he froze in place. He looked up into the distance. His eyes pierced through the stone walls towards the far-off horizon.
This sort of feeling of being locked onto…it was like a blazing star was crashing towards this location at an incomparably terrifying speed.
Qin Yu’s soul instinctively screamed out as horror shrouded his mind. He believed that if he couldn’t avoid this strike and was hit, he would instantly turn to ashes.
He walked forward, the ground disintegrating beneath his steps. Countless stones flew around as he shot forth like a cannonball. He crashed into the mountain wall, instantly piercing through it like a giant pangolin!
Qin Yu desperately ran away without stopping. Facing this terrifying aura that was on its way, he couldn’t develop any thought of resisting.
Flee!
Qin Yu erupted with his greatest speed. But, the range of the ‘falling star’ was far too vast, so vast that even if he did everything he could to run away, he couldn’t flee the blast zone in a short period of time.
Close, it was getting closer!
Qin Yu couldn’t help but turn his head around. The distant skies were beginning to violently twist, like a terrifying crossbow bursting out at him.
As it flew towards here the surrounding space was stirred up, causing great waves like a stormy sea.
With just a glance, Qin Yu’s heart shrank. Without any reason, he knew that the goal of this incoming party…was him!
Was that horrific experience just now all done only to lock onto his position…? Qin Yu roared out from the depths of his throat. He came to a sudden stop, his heart wildly beating in his chest. His bones started to crack and pop. He was about to forcefully activate the Ancient race body metamorphosis regardless of his injuries.

Since he couldn’t escape, he might as well bet it all on a fight. Perhaps there was a chance he could survive!
Rumble rumble –
Space thundered and shattered, interrupting Qin Yu’s actions. He watched as a strangely styled ship forcibly crashed out from space and positioned itself between him and the terrifying presence that was arriving.
Hum –
The ship trembled as it began to light up all over. A round tube protruded from the bow of the ship. In the next moment, it erupted with a terrifying beam of light.
The entire world fell deathly silent. All sounds were covered and dispersed. Underneath this terrifying strength, everything became meaninglessly white.
With almost no delay, the beam of light collided with the far-off presence. Then, horrifying shockwaves erupted. Space cracked, turning into pitch black nothingness. It was like a massive black disc had appeared beneath the heavens and earth.
Hu –
Wild winds blasted against Qin Yu, bringing with them a suffocating strength. Qin Yu lifted his arms in front of him. His bones emitted loud cracking sounds as he was sent flying backwards.
He crashed into the ground, forming a giant pit. Qin Yu spat out a mouthful of blood but stood up and continued running away without hesitation. He had no idea what the origin of this flying ship was nor did he want to know. His only thought right now was to escape as fast as he could.
This world completely refreshed Qin Yu’s point of view once again. Although it wasn’t as terrifying as he thought in the beginning, it absolutely wasn’t a place where he could relax without worries with his level of cultivation.
No. To be more exact, if he were to face the most peak existence of this world, he would die in one clash.
Moreover, Qin Yu couldn’t determine if what he witnessed now represented the greatest beings of this world.
“Hahahaha, how interesting. I didn’t go looking for you and yet you delivered yourself to my door. Then, I won’t be polite…you people from Celestial Retribution can stay here in this beautiful mountain scenery forever.” A deep and echoing voice entered his ears.
Qin Yu paused. Celestial Retribution? He suddenly thought of the dead Hu An.
He looked down at the Ring of Rebirth on his finger. After hesitating a little, he ran away even faster than before.
On the ship, a group of Light Guards looked into the distance at the figure that was running away. They revealed a cold and mocking expression.
As they thought, the spines of the humans in the obams’ territory had been broken. They had lost their courage and will to fight for their lives and had degenerated into weaklings that only knew how to flee.
In order to save such a person, the commander had given up the superiority of their concealment and directly fought the Great Dragon Overlord. That person was unworthy of such a cost.
But this thought only appeared in their hearts; they would never speak it out loud. The commander had already used action to obtain the respect of all the Light Guards. Regardless of what his decision was they would obey without hesitation.
Silent Light looked away. His eyes passed through the ship and landed on the batwing dragon. He slowly said, “I will fight this battle with you all!”
Rumble rumble –
Heaven-shaking thundering erupted deep within the Little Sweet Mountains. Winds stirred up as thick black clouds gathered together, bringing with them an endless thunderstorm!
One day later, news spread out that the obam race’s super powerhouse, the Great Dragon Overlord, had fiercely battled the human race’s Celestial Retribution. The surrounding thousand miles had been turned to ruins and all lives in range had been buried along with it.
In this battle, victory and defeat had not been decided. The human race’s ship had broken apart and the Great Dragon Overlord walked away bloodied. The batwing dragon had also lost a wing.
The obam race was sent into an uproar!
…
At the City Lord Mansion, Sophia smashed everything in her room. Even from the perspective of the human race, her relatively cute face was completely distorted.
This damned world and that even more damned Celestial Retribution! Because of their meddling, the situation had fallen into a stalemate once more.
Although she didn’t doubt that the obam race would achieve victory in the end, Sophia didn’t have much time left.
With the intensity of her current body, she was barely able to suppress the backlash from the Cursed Eye. If she didn’t ask family powerhouses to scatter it before it erupted, there were bound to be horrifying consequences.
She could no longer wait. She had to do something to find that woman from the Eastern Zhou Family!
The next day, an announcement spread out, one stamped with the official seal of the City Lord. It spread through the entirety of Great King City and the surrounding territories.
Anyone who found and killed the human who arranged the Ascendant Bluegold Array in the Little Sweet Mountains would gain the qualifications to marry the City Lord Sophia and would automatically inherit her position as City Lord. With one action they would be able to leap through the dragon gate and become an absolutely honored existence in the obam race!
After a brief silence, all of Great King City and the nearby territories…began to bubble over with excitement!
All the male obams were left frantic and frenzied. They were like bulls in heat, their eyes turning red.
