Chapter 852 - Fight the Ancient

Hum –

Hum –

The entire space started to shiver. Black clouds surged out from nowhere and weaved together. With a rumble of thunder, rain poured down.

The rain was crimson, as if the heavens broke down – this was the sorrow of the world when the mighty perished!

The Ancient was without expression. He suddenly flicked his sleeves. In an instant, the rain stopped and the black clouds in the skies were directly torn apart. All phenomena disappeared.

When mighty beings fell, they galvanized a resonance with the heavens and earth, giving rise to all sorts of phenomena. But such fluctuations were likely to be detected by the outside world.

While the Ancient displayed an incomparably formidable power right now, he was far from being restored to his peak state. So, he didn’t want to create unnecessary troubles.

But that time wasn’t too far away!

The Ancient turned and looked all around. The nebula formed from the super dragon rumbled and roared as it spun. The Dao Monarch’s Great Dao was suppressed by his hand. Everything was going according to plan.

If things went as expected, then once Qin Yu fused with the strength of the super dragon he would have the qualifications to absorb the Dao Monarch’s Great Dao. At that time, a genuinely strong mortal body would appear.

He would possess a nearly perfect Ancient physique and have a transcendent Great Dao beneath his feet…and most importantly, after passing through this samsara, the final traces of the brand mark from his hometown would be thoroughly erased.

At that time, he could begin to complete his mission…and this mission concerned everything.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his surging thoughts. The Ancient smiled. After patiently waiting and enduring for hundreds of thousands of years, the time for the harvest had arrived.

But at this moment, the Ancient furrowed his eyebrows together. His eyes fell on the revolving nebula. Several breaths of time later, he smirked. As expected, this was a crafty little kid. There was no way he wouldn’t do anything and simply offer up his mortal body.

But it seemed he had yet to realize that in front of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks were nothing but a joke.

Rumble –

Rumble –

The nebula spun faster and faster. A black hole seemed to appear deep within its center, wildly swallowing up the nebula’s strength.

It shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, a figure was faintly visible. When the Ancient looked down, the figure also opened its eyes. As if sensing something, the figure looked up and two pairs of eyes met each other.

The power of the nebula grew increasingly small and thin. The eyes on both sides were calm, without any fluctuation of emotion.

But within this calm, there was an icy coldness that was enough to freeze everything.

The Ancient chuckled. “I knew I couldn’t hide the truth from a junior like you. But I am curious. In this current situation, where did you find the courage to oppose me? Is it just because you have absorbed the strength of the super dragon?

“Not to mention how much of the super dragon’s strength you can control right now, but even if you were able to control all of it completely, what meaning is there? After all, you are nothing but a puppet under my control. With just a thought, I can make you abandon all resistance.”

He raised a hand and a rune appeared in his palm. Its connection to Qin Yu instantly reached into his heart.

Absolute power over another person’s life and death – it was all within a thought!

Shua –

The last bits of the nebula vanished into Qin Yu’s body. There was no longer any barrier between the two sides. Qin Yu directly faced the Ancient’s question. He took a deep breath, the Ancient’s heart in his chest rapidly beating.

Thump –

Thump –

Thump –

Across from Qin Yu, the Ancient furrowed his eyebrows as if he was surprised by something. He looked down at the rune in his palm.

Pa –

With a light sound, the rune shattered. Its pieces tumbled and vanished from sight.

“So that’s what happened.” The Ancient’s complexion was a bit strange. “From the very beginning, you had discovered Dorelis’ petty actions and even my own. So you believed everything was in your control? So from the very start, no one controlled you and you have been free all along.”

Qin Yu nodded, “That’s right.”

The strange look on the Ancient’s face became even heavier. He looked over Qin Yu and said, “I am confused. Why did you reveal yourself? If you had continued hiding it then you would have obtained the Dao Monarch’s Great Dao. If you were to take action at that time, you would have had a much greater chance of success.”

Qin Yu lightly said, “I don’t believe senior would be so negligent. Before you allowed me to fuse with the Dao Monarch’s Great Dao, you would surely erase my consciousness as you did to his so that I vanished from this world first.”

“Hahahaha! Qin Yu, you are indeed a smart child. I acknowledge that I am finally beginning to appreciate you.” The Ancient laughed, the traces of surprise long since gone. “But you should know that in front of me, you have no chance of success. So what if you are free? If I want to kill you, it is easy. Perhaps you believe that you have the qualifications to fight me after fusing with the super dragon’s strength?”

Qin Yu shook his head. “This junior would not dare! Senior has an unfathomably deep cultivation. By myself, I am far from being your match.”

The Ancient raised an eyebrow. “You have a helper?”

Qin Yu lifted a hand and punched out, “Of course!”

This fist didn’t target the Ancient but instead targeted the suppressed holy mountain that had been fused with the web of darkness.

The Ancient’s eyes flashed. He didn’t stop Qin Yu’s punch. He wanted to see just where Qin Yu’s confidence came from. Moreover, the suppression method he arranged wasn’t as simple as it seemed. Since Qin Yu had attacked it, he had to be prepared for the inevitable backlash.

Bang –

The holy mountain shook. The black lines of the brand mark were like venomous snakes waking up from hibernation. They instantly followed the punch back and locked onto Qin Yu
