Bang –

A loud explosive sound came from the depths of his soul.
Using his Great Dao as the bridge, he shifted away the strength that tore at his soul.

At this moment, his lips twitched.

A Saint’s Great Dao was the root of their foundation and was closely linked to their life.
They were able to feel the tiniest changes to it.
With wounds added upon wounds, his Great Dao had been harmed.
The damages were even more serious than he first thought!

A thousand years!

This wound would take at least a thousand years to gradually heal up and completely restore his Great Dao.
That also meant that the young man’s plans of impacting the other shore would have to be postponed by at least a thousand years!

The suffering in the Sea of Bitterness was to chase after the other side.
If one didn’t advance forward constantly, they would be left behind.

Being stranded in the Sea of Bitterness for another thousand years meant that the barrier to reaching the next boundary would be that much thicker, and the difficulty of the breakthrough that much higher…it wasn’t as simple as delaying things by a thousand years.

It might be an exaggeration to say that his road to becoming a True Saint had been severed, but the difficulty had been greatly increased!

This was a long explanation, but it actually happened in the blink of an eye.
When the young man came to this conclusion, he glared daggers at Qin Yu.

This time he had suffered a great loss!

Even if he finally managed to smoothly obtain the thing that the Scholartree gave him for this transaction, it might not have an effect.
In other words, all of the risks he took to eliminate Peachy would be for nothing.

And this result was all because of Qin Yu.
How could he not hate him to the extreme?

A Saint’s Great Dao naturally condensed and could be regarded as its own ‘heaven and earth’.
Although it wasn’t the same in practical meaning, it was still terrifying.

When Qin Yu was covered in the young man’s gaze, he felt as if he could hear the sounds of things freezing all around him.
It became difficult to breathe and it seemed as if his entire body would be frozen and sealed up.

He could hear shrill cries and howls in his ears.
They seemed to come from the nine nether hells, filled with pain, despair, and madness that could infect the mind and cause one’s consciousness to collapse.
But, Qin Yu’s eyes remained calm and serene.
With the sun and moon force field wrapped around him, everything was separated outside.
All that remained in his eyes was an ice-cold faintness.

Qin Yu looked at the young man, waiting, waiting for him to go completely crazy and then take the initiative to come to him.
This was because he only had the power to use his strongest trump card once, and it wasn’t something that could be separated from him.
Only when the distance was short enough could he erupt with his full power.

This was also because the use of the bead that Old Turtle gave him wasn’t limited to what the young man was experiencing right now.
He would soon learn what sort of grievous price he would have to pay for his misjudgment.

This price was enough to drive a Saint crazy!

The young man stiffened.
His rotten flesh and blood had exploded, his soul had suffered heavy losses, and his Great Dao had been harmed…he could be called incomparably pitiful.

But at this moment, only he knew that he still underestimated Qin Yu.

This little bastard…what vicious and overbearing methods!

Using the Great Dao as a bridge and diverting the strength that tore at his soul had left his Great Dao injured.
But that wasn’t the most critical issue.
This was because the young man sensed the ice-cold strength that contaminated his Great Dao and was nibbling away at it.

It continuously plundered the young man’s Great Dao, and the most horrifying thing was that he discovered there was nothing he could do to stop it.

His Great Dao had been injured to begin with and now it was being constantly plundered.
If he didn’t stop this, his Dao would be eliminated.
To a Saint, the elimination of the Great Dao was death.
Without the support of their Great Dao, the endless Sea of Bitterness would easily corrode them away.

This was a true life and death catastrophe!

The young man looked at Qin Yu.
He could feel that the ice-cold strength nibbling away at his Great Dao came from him.

If he killed Qin Yu, everything would return to as it should be.
Otherwise, if he were to die here today, his innumerable days of hard work and diligence would all become illusions.

Even with things having come this far, the young man looked at Qin Yu and still couldn’t figure out how he accomplished this.
Just how many secrets was this young man hiding?

But this wasn’t important.
What was important was that he needed to die!

Bang –

The young man instantly erupted with the strength that a Saint could display when they were exposed to the threat of death.
Unless one personally experienced this, it was almost impossible to imagine.

In an instant, the residual strength of Peachy’s bead and the soul-tearing strength of Old Turtle’s bead was all shaken off and dispersed.

Of course, to achieve this, the young man had paid a steep price.

Taking one step out, space twisted and the young man vanished.
When he reappeared he was in front of Qin Yu.

He lifted a hand and pressed down!

Bang –

With a heaven-shocking explosion, Qin Yu’s ears were left humming.
He thought he saw a great river, flowing rapidly with immense momentum, passing through the heavens and earth to somewhere over the limitless horizon.

At this moment, this great river shot up into the skies, transforming into a giant dragon that howled and bit down at Qin Yu!

The purple moon and blue sun trembled, and the sun and moon force field fluctuated.
Qin Yu’s eyes lit up with pure brightness, a blinding light exploding from his pupils.

He knew that the great river he saw, the river that transformed into a giant dragon, was the young man’s Great Dao…it was a Saint’s strongest card as well as their riskiest card.

By using his own Great Dao, he could erupt with the strongest power of a Saint.
But if his Great Dao was injured, the consequences would be equally serious.

Now was the time!

Qin Yu lifted a hand and slashed forward.
At this moment, the phantoms of a sun and moon appeared behind him.

At his left was a great sun.
It blazed without end, its scorching heat capable of burning everything to ashes.

To his right was a silver moon.
It shined with luminescence, its ice-cold aura seemingly capable of freezing everything between the heavens and earth.

Burning hot and ice cold.
As Qin Yu cut out with his hand, the two forces fused together.

So the phantoms of the sun and moon blended together.
An incomparably blurry and illusory phantom figure appeared within the sun and moon.
It raised its hand and cut forward in tandem with Qin Yu’s movements.

This cut was quiet, and there was almost no change in the world.
One could only hear the earth-shaking momentum of a Saint’s all-out strike, one that made the world wail in fear.

But at this time, the young man’s pupils fiercely shrank and his body froze in place.
Fear flooded his heart!

This aura…this aura…

This was impossible! This was absolutely impossible!

But his soul that was instinctually screaming in despair was explicitly telling him that his senses weren’t wrong.

The young man finally realized why a mere Qin Yu was able to have him suffer repeated losses, and could even take out so many cards that he shouldn’t have to begin with.

If this was true, then everything had an explanation.
And he dared to touch him…even a Saint could only die!

But understanding was one thing.
No one wished to directly face death.
Even if there was only a small chance, he would try his best to seize it.

Moreover, there was still another possibility.
Qin Yu’s status still hadn’t been completely approved, otherwise he would have been known throughout the entire vast brightness, and the young man wouldn’t have made such a basic mistake.

If he killed Qin Yu, one possibility was that he would be obliterated.
Another possibility was…he could obtain favor, or even displace him.

Similar matters had occurred before in the endless river of time within the vast brightness world.
The worst result was only death, so of course he had to risk it all!

Bang –

His aura exploded once again.
The space around Qin Yu completely froze.

A Saint didn’t hesitate to damage his Space Laws to launch an attack.
The effect this produced was certainly astonishing.

Qin Yu was well aware of this.
But right now he was like a fish frozen in a cube of ice, unable to move.

As he was affected by it, the sun and moon phantom and the strike that came cutting down came to a stop.

This sword was just a foot away from the young man.
Just a little bit more and it would have ended everything.

But it stopped in midair, having lost all strength to continue.

The young man fiercely shivered.
His body that had lost a great deal of its flesh and blood looked especially fierce and frightening.
He glared at Qin Yu.

He had changed his mind.
He would no longer easily kill Qin Yu.
That would just be a waste…he would slowly eat him!

Perhaps by doing this, it would help him obtain some sort of special medium that Qin Yu possessed which would be approved.

Even if it was just a 1% chance, the young man wasn’t willing to let it go.
To a Saint that lived eternally in perpetuity, there was nothing more frightening than death.
As long as there was a way he could refuse death, he would grasp it!

Qin Yu could feel the shock and terror of the Saint.
Although he wasn’t sure what this card meant, he was able to determine its power through the Saint’s reaction.

But now, even though he had tossed out this card, it wasn’t able to produce its full potential strength.

When the young man looked at him, Qin Yu felt his heart chill and his scalp tingle.
He knew that if he couldn’t kill this other party, what awaited him was a pitiful fate.

What to do?

What could he do?

At this moment, Old Turtle roared, “Master, finish him!”

Then, a mass of flames blasted into existence within him, combusting.

At the cost of burning himself, the power that Old Turtle contributed instantly fired into Qin Yu’s body.

The Time Laws that he had made no advancement in since the day he perceived them began to become active once again.

Qin Yu didn’t have long to think about why Old Turtle did this.
He roared out loud, “Time!”

Hum –

A shockwave, with Qin Yu at the center, spread through the world.
The heavens and earth shook with him.

This came from the change in the speed at which time flowed.

Conflicts and instability appeared in the shaking world.
The imprisonment of the Space Laws was forcibly torn apart.

“Break for me!” Qin Yu roared.
As he did, countless wounds broke open on his body, drenching his robes red.

Kacha –

Kacha –

Space collapsed!

Qin Yu’s cutting palm continued downwards.

The figure within the sun and moon also cut down with its sword.

The entire world suddenly fell into absolute silence.
