Refining the Mountains and Rivers

apsing internal aura from the shaking cut marks – using their self-destruction as the price, they were erupting with an even more potent strength.

This method couldn’t last forever.
Once the cut marks burnt through their strength, they would lose all power.

Kacha –

A light crackling sound fell into Ban Bu’s ears, as loud as a thunderclap.

He stiffened.
He watched as a crack appeared in the cut marks.

It really had come.
But, this speed was faster than he expected.

He was going to die…

Ban Bu gulped.
He only felt that his mouth was full of bitterness.
He clenched his teeth and said, “Miss Lei, stand behind me!”

Lei Xiaoyu shook her head, “You cannot block it.”

Ban Bu froze.
Then, he sighed dejectedly.
While she was direct, she spoke the truth.

Due to this night of the full moon, the dead tree’s strength had risen by more than double.
He also hadn’t yet recovered from his injuries, so he certainly wasn’t a match for it.

Most of his courage to sacrifice his life here was extinguished by this sentence.
Ban Bu wailed in his heart, ‘Senior Qin, Senior Qin, where are you? If you don’t come back soon, we’re all going to die.’

In his opinion, even if it was only an avatar, they had a chance of surviving as long as Qin Yu arrived.

Lei Xiaoyu had a calm expression.
While she felt some fear, she was much better than imagined.

Perhaps this was because she already knew her life was coming to an end soon.

She would die sooner or later…

In fact, she even rejoiced inwardly that Qin Yu wasn’t here.

With his strength, if she wasn’t there to drag him down, there was a chance he would survive, whether this was the night of the full moon or not.

It was better to die.
There was no need to suffer, and no need to try and be strong at all times.

Big Brother Qin, it isn’t that I don’t want to stay true to my words, it is just that the heavens won’t give me a chance!

Then, let it all end like this.

…

When the blood moon reached perfection, the black river rose.
It was like a great mouth swallowing up the entire mountain.

This included all the cracks in the mountain and the silver light projecting out from them.
Covered in darkness, they were all extinguished.

The black goo spun around and around.
It was like a giant digestive organ, trying to crush the mountain and absorb everything inside.

Slowly, the black goo reduced in volume.
This was because the entire mountain was rapidly melting away.

10,000 feet, 1000 feet, 100 feet…

As it shrank, the black goo became even darker and more viscous.

Finally, only around ten feet of it was left.
Cracking sounds could be heard from within it.

As if the goo was gnashing its sharp teeth, grinding away the last layer of armor of its prey.

At this time, within the ten foot round circle of black goo, Qin Yu was sitting down cross-legged.
His face was incomparably white and his aura was so weak it nearly wasn’t there.

A thick layer of blood-colored ice surrounded him.
It was his last line of defense, formed from almost all of his blood energy freezing around him.

Then, the blood ice shattered and fell off.
It became increasingly thin as tiny cracks spread through it.

Perhaps in ten breaths of time or maybe five breaths of time, it would break apart.

What awaited Qin Yu was the fate of being dissolved in this black goo.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

At this time, the flow of time within the black goo seemed to have been slowed.
One could almost hear the distant sigh of time.

But this was only an illusion in the end.
Following the revolution of the Great Dao, time flowed eternally and without end.

Like how rain in the skies would eventually fall to the ground.
This was its destiny since the moment it was born.

Thus, when the defenses of the blood ice were finally exhausted and the first gap appeared, the black goo screamed in excitement and plunged towards Qin Yu’s face.

It seemed to want to use his orifices as an entrance, drilling into his body and enjoying its prey.

Qin Yu’s eyes flickered open.
The black goo was only an inch away from his eyes.

Then, time came to a standstill.

This was true stillness.
Besides him, everything seemed to have been sealed up in an invisible block of ice.

Qin Yu looked up.
His gaze pierced through the black goo, landing on the perfectly full blood moon in the infinite distance.

“As I thought, I was your goal…but I must apologize, I don’t want to die.
And since I don’t want to die, there is no chance for you.”

After this small talk, he no longer spoke.
He raised a hand, forming his fingers into a sword, and gently slashed upwards.

The frozen time vanished.
The black goo screamed as it tried to cross the final distance.
But, it had already lost its chance.

Puff –

With a muffled sound, the silver light split through the black goo.
Although it was only a minor wound smaller than a palm in size, it took away all its power.

In an instant, the black goo disintegrated and splattered in all directions.
Not a single drop touched Qin Yu’s body.

Then, the remnants dried up, turning into dust that blew away into the wind.

As for the silver sword light that destroyed it, it continued onwards, racing towards the full moon in the skies.

Then, the silver light seemed to think it was too small and wouldn’t have much face when confronting the full moon.
So, it unexpectedly released a cry.

Like a summons, all the cut marks throughout the world that were still intact after countless years responded at the same time.

Hum –

Hum –

Hum –

Their sounds gathered together, until it became a dreadful wave of sound that pierced through the ears.

Pa –

Pa –

Millions of cut marks broke apart, turning into silver light that fused with the sword light.

As a result, the sword light began to crazily grow.

In an instant it grew to 100,000 feet in size!

Rumble rumble –

The sword light pierced through the vast skies, shooting towards the blood moon with unprecedented momentum.

It…would cut the moon!
