Refining the Mountains and Rivers

d as they wished.
The distance between the two sides continued to shrink and a look of stimulated excitement started to cross their faces.

To chase down the legendary Dragon City Master who had suppressed the dragon race and conquered this world, this was an incomparably wonderful feeling.
What was even more wonderful was that this peerless powerhouse who once ruled his own era would soon perish in their hands.

The black wolf panted for breath, a fierce pain burning through his chest.
After breaking free from the saber, he had suffered extremely heavy injuries.
It was difficult for him to maintain such a high speed and even now his injuries were worsening.

But at this time, he couldn’t feel the pain in his body.
His eyes were bright and clear, with only a single thought in his mind – kill him!

Suddenly, the Dragon City Master’s aura vanished.
The pursuers weren’t angered or shocked at all.
Rather, they were even more delighted.

He wouldn’t be able to last much longer!

They soon arrived at the place where the Dragon City Master’s aura vanished.
The shaken flow of space here had yet to be restored.
The puppet lifted a hand and slashed out.
The turbulent flow of space was cut open, revealing a channel to the outside world.

Shua –

Everyone flew out and a giant plain appeared in front of them.
This place was dry and desolate with only a few weeds scattered about, feebly growing.
Large patches of red dirt were exposed.

This was the Red Soil Basin, an extremely barren area located north of the Eastern Plains.
It wasn’t too far from the boundary of the Western Tomb.

Everyone swept their eyes around and determined their position.
Then, their eyes landed on the deathly pale Qin Yu who had bloodstains on the corners of his lips.

They sensed his wildly fluctuating aura; it was indeed on the verge of collapse.
But, no one doubted that the Dragon City Master had methods that could pull others into the grave with him.

Since they could already see the dawn of victory, no one wanted to die here.
In the silence, the Dark Parliament’s puppet lifted its hand, aiming the saber at Qin Yu.

Shua –

Without pause, saber light crossed through space.
The heavens and earth split apart, forming two extremely straight cracks.
With loud rumbles, a terrifying aura arrived.

Qin Yu lifted his arms and a mountain phantom appeared in front of him.
When the shocking saber strike slashed into it, the mountain phantom fiercely shook and ripples spread over its surface.
Qin Yu staggered backwards and spat out another mouthful of blood.
After blocking this saber strike, the wobbling mountain phantom quickly stabilized.

The black wolf said, “I know this technique.
It is the Dragon City Master’s most formidable defensive technique.
Unless you can instantly erupt with a strength that surpasses its withstanding limits, it will never break.”

He looked at the puppet, “Senators, please activate the full strength of the puppet.
We cannot delay any further.
No one knows what will happen in the next second.”

When the Dragon City Master was killed in the past, his rule and authority quickly fell apart.
But, there were still forces who pledged their allegiance to him.
These forces were rapidly suppressed by the joint collaboration of everyone else, leaving them to gradually disappear.

But they still existed.
They remained active in the shadows, waiting and hoping for the revival of the Dragon City Master.
News of what occurred in Dragon City had inevitably spread out and these people would learn about it sooner or later.
If they chose to meddle, all sorts of accidents could occur.

This could not be allowed!

“This time, the Dark Parliament has played a great role in slaying the Dragon City Master.
The northern border will be sure to deliver our heartfelt regards.”

“The Western Tomb Divine Church will owe the Dark Parliament a favor.
In the future, you may ask the Divine Church for help.”

A deep voice came from the great shadow.
“With your actions today, you will surely receive the rewards you deserve!”

The puppet was silent for a brief time.
Then, Sage’s voice echoed out, “Because Senator Morning Star is absent today, if we wish to activate the complete strength of the puppet, I and the other five Senators will need to withstand tremendous pressure.
So, I hope that you all remember what you’ve said today and don’t go back on your word in the future.”

As his voice fell, changes occurred on the surface of the puppet.
Dark golden textures appeared, weaving together into mysterious line patterns.
They started on the top of the puppet’s head and spread to every corner of its body.

Its gray and bleak eyes were now grayish-white, like withered grass that had been frozen.
Just by looking into these eyes, one could feel the deathly intent within them!

The puppet didn’t release another sound.
It lifted the saber.
This simple movement seemed to exhaust all its strength.

Then it slashed down!

Qin Yu’s mind blanked out.
At this time, he could feel as if he had already died before the saber light had even reached him.

But this blank state only lasted for a short time.
He immediately woke up and heard the voice of the Ancient in his ears.

“It’s now.”

What did he mean now? What was he waiting for?

Questions appeared in Qin Yu’s mind.
But before he could ask them, a heaven-shaking explosion broke out.
He stared on helplessly as his body violently vomited blood and retreated backwards.
Yet, he didn’t feel anything at all.
He couldn’t help but feel strange about all of this.

This time, Qin Yu could sense that the Ancient had been injured.
This was different from his pretend act of before; his aura had weakened.

But Qin Yu didn’t sense any panic.
Rather, there was excitement here.
Just what was he planning on doing?

The terrifying collision of strength in the Red Soil Basin was like a million bombs going off in unison.
A massive mushroom cloud soared into the skies.
The earth was smashed apart and space was torn to pieces.
Horrific shockwaves of raging strength spread out, covering more and more area.

‘Qin Yu’ paused.
He looked up and a smile appeared on his face.

It had finally opened!

Without any hesitation, he flew forward.
He crashed into the broken space like a meteor.

In that broken space, a partly visible stone door appeared.
Its surface was mottled and it exuded a rich aura.
It seemed as if it had stood there for countless years.

At this time, a slit had been opened up in the stone door and a bit of aura came out from it.
The black wolf and Twilight both quaked, fear and awe instinctively shining in their eyes.

The black wolf screamed, “That is the Dragon City Master’s body! We’ve been fooled! He borrowed the strength of the saber to break open the entrance!”

It screamed in horror, “Hurry, hurry, hurry! We have to stop the Dragon City Master from obtaining his split up body, otherwise his strength will drastically rise and we will all die!”
