Chapter 1445 – Reverse of the Great Dao
After being trapped in this palace for so many years, although he was never able to break through its seal, he had interacted with it for so many years and more or less understood how it worked.
It was not difficult to make use of it.
So the Darkness Ruler intentionally said that last sentence to remind Qin Yu of how he forced the Darkness Ruler to appear. Because he wanted Qin Yu to do it again so that he would be able to activate the suppressing force from the palace and pull Qin Yu in as well.
So regarding this, Qin Yu’s guess was right.
Buzz –
The palace shook and the Darkness Ruler groaned. The suppressing force was directed at him. After getting activated, the suppressing force would naturally first target the Darkness Ruler.
But suffering a little in order to drag Qin Yu in was worth it.
Alas, not everything would go as one wanted it to go.
Hence why there was the word ‘accident’.
And today, the Darkness Ruler was about to realize that he had also met with an accident!
When the suppressing force of the palace surged, under normal circumstances, it would drag Qin Yu into the palace.
But today, he was still standing perfectly fine outside. The suppressing force passed him, blowing his long robe upwards, but he remained unmoving as if he was a huge army.
His smile froze as the Darkness Ruler stared at Qin Yu. He glared menacingly as if arrows would shoot out from his eyes!
His scheme had failed…how could this happen?
After confirming that Qin Yu was the one who caused the West Desolate to get defeated in Bounded Zero Place, he had begun his plan – the Darkness Ruler thought that being able to change one’s aura and change into multiple forms was Qin Yu’s strongest skill. But at the same time, he also thought that this was how he would die!
The darkness puppets did not manage to block Qin Yu and right when he set it up, the Darkness Ruler knew this. After all, Qin Yu was able to make all of the West Desolate’s preparation go to waste, and he should at least be that capable.
The ring-like mountain was to lower Qin Yu’s guard and allow him to barge in. The real killer was this palace.
As long as Qin Yu stepped in, the palace would be activated. No matter how many hidden cards Qin Yu had, the Darkness Ruler was sure…that Qin Yu would not even get a chance to take them out.
Everything went smoothly and Qin Yu changed his aura and appeared outside the palace like he expected. Qin Yu then attacked the palace after falling for his trick. This should have been the time for the Darkness Ruler to pull in the net and count his catch. Yet, things went south!
The higher one’s expectations, the more disappointment one would feel. The Darkness Ruler’s face was so dark. He was someone who was extremely shrewd and determined hence he managed to stop himself from spitting out blood.
It worked!
Qin Yu let out a deep breath and felt relief. Although he had four options, if he was able to just defeat the Darkness Ruler, it would be the best.
And now, Qin Yu saw hope.
The palace existed in order to suppress the Darkness Ruler. The Darkness Ruler was now suppressing Eye of Eternal Night and recovering rapidly. Eye of Eternal Night looked miserable but he did not fight back because he was waiting for a chance.
What Qin Yu created was a chance – by attacking the palace, he activated the suppressing force and the Darkness Ruler was suffering.
When the Darkness Ruler suffered, the chance came!
Qin Yu did not hesitate as he punched out.
Boom –
The palace shook and the words appeared even brighter.
Having been challenged time and time again, it was ‘really angry’. Cracking sounds filled the air in the palace as small sparks appeared.
There was a whistling sound and everything burst into flames. The Darkness Ruler could not help but groan as he paled.
On his head, the threatening and luxurious crown with Eye of Eternal Night was silent now. However, a pair of eyes appeared in the deep darkness.
They looked dark and soulless yet with hints of pain. While they looked cold and composed, the murderous aura from them was intense.
Seeing this, Qin Yu was sure. Although he had guessed that this would happen, only after seeing Eye of Eternal Night awaken was he sure that he was right.
He still had power to fight back!
This was very important. If not, whatever Qin Yu did would be meaningless.
He would have either escaped, called upon the Ruler, or made a deal with the pair of eyes behind him to deal with the Darkness Ruler.
But now that Eye of Eternal Night had awakened, Qin Yu needed to put in more effort to instigate the suppressing force of the palace. He would teach the Darkness Ruler a lesson!
Boom –
Another punch. The words on the palace grew even more intense. It buzzed and caused the surrounding air to twist and bend.
Crack –
Crack –
A lot of sparks appeared in the air and grew thicker. Smoke appeared from the Darkness Ruler’s body as his hair stood. His face was pale and anger filled his eyes.
The Darkness Ruler never expected that things would become like this. He had been sure of winning. Even if he did not manage to fool Qin Yu, it would be a small risk. As long as he absorbed Eye of Eternal Night, the ending would be set.
But now, he was in the palace and getting restrained yet he was not able to hurt Qin Yu at all.
It was like he was dangling in mid air and could only suffer the strikes. He was extremely angry and dismal. What was even worse was that the Darkness Ruler knew that the suppressing force of the palace was able to cause life-threatening damage!
This meant if Qin Yu just continued to activate the palace’s power and increase the suppressing force, he would die even if Eye of Eternal of Night did not attack him.
Just thinking about it made him furious and he felt like vomiting blood.
He was the Darkness Ruler yet he was getting defeated by his own house. This was so pathetic.
But he did not have time to feel pathetic, he had to find a way to save himself.
“Qin Yu!”
Growling deeply, all lightness from earlier had been lost.
Qin Yu paused and looked up.
The Darkness Ruler said lowly, “I believed that you are hiding something and collaborated with Eye of Eternal Night to kill me. If I tell the West Desolate about this, no matter what, you will lose.
“Believe me. Even if I am trapped in this palace, if I want to send out a message, Eye of Eternal Night will not be able to stop me. It is very easy.”
Qin Yu made an “Oh,” sound and punched out once more. The palace shook violently and lightning sparks struck like long canes.
The Darkness Ruler’s entire body was trembling as he gritted his teeth and grumbled, “Are you really not afraid?”
Qin Yu shrugged, “So what if I am? Do you think I can stop in the current situation?”
Damn!
What a good reason.
The Darkness Ruler’s mouth twitched as he rushed to say, “I swear that if you stop, I will not do anything to you. I will even help you achieve what you want…believe me. Whatever Eye of Eternal Night can help you to achieve, after I swallow him, I can help you and give you even more!”
He looked sincere and spoke respectfully. He stared at Qin Yu, waiting for his response.
Qin Yu fell silent. Just when the Darkness Ruler thought that there was a chance to turn things around, he sighed and shook his head, “Maybe you are being sincere, but I don’t dare to believe you. In order to prevent incidents, please hurry and die.”
“Qin Yu!”
The Darkness Ruler growled sinisterly. A murderous aura exploded. It was as if the abyss had descended and was about to swallow everything.
“With my status and power, I have already endured as much as I can. Stop asking for more…do not force my hand!”
His eyes were pitch black and with every word he said, there was a bone-chilling coldness, “Believe me, really believe me. I am almost equivalent to a Ruler and have some hidden powers. I just did not give it my all because I don’t want to take the risk. But if I have no choice, I will not hesitate. After all, taking the risk means that I may succeed…even if I fail, I will go down trying, and that is better than dying miserably!”
Qin Yu’s face was expressionless but his heart clenched. He knew that the Darkness Ruler was not lying.
The truth was that this made more sense. He was someone who caused even Rulers to be apprehensive and kept the World of Darkness around. How could he fall so easily and not fight back?
He definitely had some hidden skills!
But what could Qin Yu do?
As he said earlier, things had already turned to this and he could not back off. As for what the Darkness Ruler said about not caring about the past, Qin Yu did not believe a single word.
If the Darkness Ruler did not die today, he would cause trouble for Qin Yu in the future. Moreover, there was Eye of Eternal Night. Although the female Ruler did not treat him with much importance, he was still something left behind by her. Wouldn’t there be consequences if Qin Yu just betrayed him?
So with this, the Darkness Ruler was also not willing to just sit and wait for death and hence had to take action. Once he took action, it would have great impact. The first thing he would do would be to kill Qin Yu.
After all, this all started with him.
Having understood and thought everything through, he could only choose the better option. The Darkness Ruler was going to fight for his life and use his hidden skill. But Qin Yu may still be able to block it.
If there really was no choice, Qin Yu would call for help. Although it wouldn’t be the best option, it was better than dying.
So he said a million times that the Darkness Ruler must die. But if he survived then how could Qin Yu relax?
“Let me think about it.”
Boom –
Punching out, the palace shook and lightning flashed. A green wind knife appeared and pierced into the Darkness Ruler, leaving behind faint bloodstains.
“Okay!”
Boom –
Another punch!
The Darkness Ruler growled, “Qin Yu!”
Qin Yu seemed to wake and he looked apologetic, “Sorry, I was too absorbed earlier. It was a subconscious action.”
“Then have you thought about…”
Boom –
A third punch!
As the Darkness Ruler spoke, he was struck by the numerous lightning bolts and blood flew out of his mouth.
“Ah!”
Crying out angrily, the Darkness Ruler lifted his hand and touched in between his eyebrows.
Crack –
With a sound, it was as if something in his body had broken.
Right from the start, he kind of knew that Qin Yu would not accept his request for peace. But he still endured with a slight hope.
If he could refrain from fighting for his life, he would. Wasn’t it good to live a peaceful life?!
But with the three continuous punches, his final hope was smashed. When he was sure there was no way for them to make peace, he could only take the risky way.
With this step, he would not let what he built over the years go to waste. Even if he was able to escape this situation now, he would not be able to get rid of the chains the West Desolate had on him.
Not being able to get rid of the West Desolate meant that he would never obtain freedom – so many years of enduring and waiting would go to waste.
The indignance, anger, as well as the hatred towards Qin Yu surged within the Darkness Ruler. If looks could kill, Qin Yu would have been burnt to ashes.
“Qin Yu!”
The Darkness Ruler growled and suddenly looked up. His face twisted violently and his flesh trembled. Amidst the festering, a mouth appeared. Sharp, sinister teeth could be seen and the mouth cried a devastating sound.
The horrifying scene did not end there. It was just the beginning. The same change happened all over his body.
The long robe he was wearing disappeared and turned into a sticky black fluid, combining into his body.
The Darkness Ruler was no longer the shape of a human. He had turned into a crazy mess of moving flesh, with large portions of flesh festering. Within each festering area, there was a huge mouth that kept opening.
The howls were crazy and chaotic, echoing throughout the palace. After Qin Yu heard them, his expression changed. He groaned and temporarily blocked his sense of hearing.
But even so, he was not able to completely block out the howling. It was as if the howls could pass through his body and right into his soul. It made a person feel extremely frustrated and have the urge to ruin everything!
Although he had already guessed that the Darkness Ruler had a hidden skill that would be powerful, it was not that Qin Yu was stunned.
What was happening before him was…a Great Dao losing control!
True Saints could form their Great Dao and that was what they relied on. But if their Great Dao was affected by external sources, it could lose control and cause the scene in front of him.
And those that faced the reverse backlash of the Great Dao would twist and turn into a monster, self-destructing!
The Darkness Ruler mastered the Light and Dark Body but he took the Path of Darkness. If his Great Dao was reversing…the darkness was destroying everything!
Just as Qin Yu thought of this, the Darkness Ruler who had turned into a pile of rotten flesh, suddenly exploded. It was as if he turned into a fountain of flesh and blood that was pouring in all eight directions non-stop.
Everything around him was covered in flesh and blood, turning into a part of the darkness.
Because the flesh and blood that was spurting out had been corroded with darkness and looked like a never-ending abyss.
The area it covered turned into the inside of the abyss. Everything was getting swallowed!
And this was the final card that the Darkness Ruler prepared. Initially, he had planned on escaping the restrictions, finished absorbing Eye of Eternal Night before releasing this outside the palace.
Now, this palace was getting swallowed by the darkness and turning into the final step in the Darkness Ruler’s journey.
He had gotten rid of the control the West Desolate had over him and turned into a Ruler, filling the position of Ruler in the Vast Brightness World, and taking control of the unseen world of spirits.
At this moment, the Darkness Ruler even had the chance to break through to an even higher and unimaginable realm.
Of course, all this ended up as nothing.
The blood fountain erupted violently and within a few seconds, it covered the entire palace.
The Darkness Ruler’s palace had existed for many many years. Although he had always been suppressed by it, he knew a lot about it.
Even if he lost his consciousness, this understanding still existed and he finished swallowing the foundation in a short time.
A pair of eyes appeared amidst the festering flesh. It looked crazy and violent yet it still held a sense of intelligence. It was now staring straight at Qin Yu with intense hatred!
