Chapter 758 – Dao MonarChapter vs Ancient (2)

Qin Yu’s mind trembled. Feeling a little dizzy, his field of vision was slowly restored.

“Now, you should know approximately what happened. I will explain it to you again in further detail.” The Ancient’s consciousness became more gentle as he said, “Although I was defeated in the past because I fell into a trap, I have no choice but to acknowledge that the Dao Monarch was a formidable match. If he achieved his goal of becoming a Heavenly Monarch, then that would be enough to cross the sun and moon and wander the skies without limit.”

“But there is one thing. He miscalculated my strength and did not truly understand the reason for why the Ancient race is considered strong. In the past when I was dismembered and suppressed, a wisp of my remnant soul was hidden away in my soul orifice and avoided the divine sense of the Dao Monarch. This is why I survived until today.”

“Of course, I have already died. The meaning of ‘living’ is only a bit of my divine sense that has yet to fade away as I wait for the descendants of my people to come and inherit my strength. Moreover, because of certain reasons I must borrow the Dao Monarch’s strength to exist during this long expanse of time. You can consider it as a kind of fusion. In this fusion state, I am unable to take even half a step away from this skull. It is the equivalent of being imprisoned here forever.”

“I have no idea how many years have pa.s.sed but I finally waited for you. I just never imagined that you came, there would also be news that my Ancient race’s bloodline has been obliterated in the endless river of time.”

The Ancient’s consciousness fell silent and the atmosphere was constrained.

Qin Yu remained quiet. He knew that he didn’t need to say anything just now; he only needed to listen.

After a moment, the Ancient sighed and continued to say, “Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao always leaves open an opportunity. Your existence is the hope upon which the Ancient race will be revived. I will help you with everything I have so that you may inherit my strength as well as the Dao Monarch’s strength. You might be confused as to why I would control the strength of the Dao Monarch, someone who killed me. This is a complex question and there is a correspondingly complex answer. All you need to remember is that that the Dao Monarch has perished and the strength he left behind has now become ownerless. If you can control it, there is a chance you will become a new Dao Monarch, stepping on the path to be a Heavenly Monarch. This is a road the goes straight above the highest havens, that looks down upon all others as it heads to the transcendent Great Dao!”

Within Qin Yu’s body, the holy light he fused with faintly trembled. A hopeful yearning suddenly gushed out from his heart.

Countless incomplete images flashed through his mind. Most of them were blurry, but one was especially clear.

A daoist phantom stood above the highest heavens. Endless light emanated from his body, as if he were a great sun that illuminated the world.

Countless lives kneel beneath his feet. They chanted in wors.h.i.+p, their expressions pious and devoted.

This daoist’s face was that of Qin Yu!

At this moment, Qin Yu felt omnipotent, as if he ruled the world. He felt as if he could sunder the heavens and earth with just a single thought.

Everything he saw was his domain!

Even with Qin Yu’s firm willpower he was almost submerged within this vision. An intense intuition surged in his heart. If he could inherit the strength of the Dao Monarch and step foot on the road to the Great Dao of the Heavenly Monarch, then this future he saw would eventually be one he achieved.

But at this time, a palpitation came from deep within his soul.it was like a bucket of cold water, extinguis.h.i.+ng his frantic desires.

Qin Yu froze beneath his black robes. A cold sweat gushed out, causing him to feel icy cold all over.

In that instant, his mind had nearly fallen into illusion. If it weren’t for that palpitation, he would likely still be wallowing within it. In fact, it might even distort his mind, turning him into a puppet that frantically chased after the Great Dao of the Heavenly Monarch.

At that time, Qin Yu would still be Qin Yu, but he would no longer be himself.

The Ancient praised out loud, “I really did not misread you. With your will alone, you were able to resist the temptation of the Great Dao of the Heavenly Monarch.”

The conversation turned. The Ancient proudly said, “The Heavenly Monarch Great Dao is indeed a fantastic and ingenious method that can be used to reach above the highest heavens. Once successfully, one can suppress the myriad heavens. But, my Ancient race’s bloodline need not care about this. As long as we temper our body and soul, gradually and constantly awakening our bloodline, we can eventually use our Ancient bodies to become indestructible and everlasting, suppressing divinities and demons!”

“You are very good. Without my help, you were able to resist the temptation on your own. With that, I can feel relieved and allow you together with the Dao Monarch’s strength. The Heavenly Monarch Great Dao will one day become a supportive strength for your Ancient race body in the future and will a.s.sist you in stepping upon the pinnacle!”

Qin Yu bowed. “I shall listen to senior’s instructions in everything.”

There was some excitement and antic.i.p.ation on his expression. Of course, there was also some anxiousness and restlessness.

His movie king skills had been activated.

Qin Yu didn’t know why, but when facing this Ancient, he always felt uneasy.

But he believed in his intuition. Moreover, that palpitation just now was a warning from the little blue lamp. Although Qin Yu still didn’t know what the little blue lamp was even today, if he had to compare it to this Ancient in front of him, he was more willing to believe in the little blue lamp who he had shared life and death with to reach where he was right now.

The Ancient said, “Do not worry. You are the only hope for my race, so I will not let you suffer any accident. You will be the only inheritor of the lucky chance sealed in this world.”

“I have used up too much of my strength today. You can leave first. I will give you guidance through the holy light within you.”

“Remember. You are an Ancient, the most honored bloodline in this world. There is no need to be afraid, and there is no need for you to lower your head to anyone.”

s.p.a.ce shattered, sucking Qin Yu within.

The h.e.l.l Mystic Realm quieted down. The burning flames on the Ancient’s skill slowly contracted. The two empty eye sockets looked at the place where Qin Yu vanished. After a long time, a low sigh echoed in the air.

…

24 hours had already pa.s.sed. The portal had closed and disappeared. Hu Fu closed his eyes in pain, unwillingness in his heart.

In the end, he failed!

But he soon opened his eyes. Now was not the time to despair. He needed to finish his arrangements. He hoped that the Hidden Fog Sect would be able to survive the following turbulence.

Hu Fu took a deep breath and cupped his hands together. “Young Master Ji Yun, I will bid my farewells first.”

His voice was hoa.r.s.e. After he finished speaking he didn’t pause and walked away.

Ji Yun watched him leave. He turned and looked at the dazed Zhou Li, his expression complex and a little bitter.

After some hesitation, he softly said, “Zhou Li, what’s done is done. Don’t feel too sad.”

Zhou Li nodded blankly. Although she had already guessed what the result was, when the blood-drenched truth was placed in front of her she still felt as if her heart had been pulled out.

Qin Yu had died. That man who appeared in her world and changed her destiny would never return.

“Ji Yun, I know this matter has nothing to do with you, but he still died in the Western Tomb’s mystic realm. I hope you won’t disturb me for the time being.”

Zhou Li turned and walked away. Her long dress dragged along the ground. Although she was still beautiful, she was like a fresh flower that had wilted, losing all of its spirit.

Qin Yu, I won’t let you die in vain. Some people will pay a price for this!

Please believe me!

An hour later, Zhou Li stood in front of the Shadow Clan Patriarch. She said, “Patriarch, I have made up my mind. I am willing to enter the Shadow Clan’s Holy Land.”

The Shadow Clan Patriarch furrowed his eyebrows. “Saintess, I have already clearly informed you about the Holy Land’s dangers, so I won’t repeat them to you. But, you have to think carefully about this matter. There is no need to rush your decision.”

Zhou Lid said, “I have already decided.”

What she needed was a greater strength.

The Shadow Clan Patriarch lightly sighed. “Very well. I will personally deliver the Saintess to the Holy Land.”

Before a stone wall where nine dragons were entangled together, a vortex slowly appeared. With a calm look, Zhou Li stepped inside.
