Chapter 874 – Forest of Bone Spikes
Chapter 874 – Forest of Bone Spikes
A severe pain struck between his eyebrows like a crashing tide. Blue Torrent could clearly hear the pained groans of his skulls trembling and shaking.
But at this time, what frightened him the most was that as this finger came down, an invisible strength invaded his mind…it was as cold and dark as ice, yet seemed capable of burning down everything like fire.
If he saw the shadow of death the first time his eyes met Qin Yu, then now he had touched the precipice of annihilation.
Blue Torrent had an intuition that he couldn’t kill Qin Yu. If he didn’t flee now, it really would be too late!
When it came to his intuition, Blue Torrent chose to trust it without hesitation. Throughout the years he had encountered numerous dangers, and a major reason he had survived was because he trusted his own intuition.
With his mind set, a light flashed in Blue Torrent’s hand and another yellow symbol paper appeared.
“We will surely meet again in the future!”
He clenched his teeth and roared out loud. Then, with a thought, the yellow symbol paper spontaneously ignited.
Hum –
Space shook and circular ripples appeared. They wrapped around Blue Torrent, causing his figure to turn blurry.
When Blue Torrent took out the yellow symbol paper, Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows together. When he had detonated the space within the array eye, Blue Torrent had relied on something like this to preserve his life. Qin Yu didn’t dare to underestimate its power.
As the spatial ripples appeared, Qin Yu immediately knew that Blue Torrent wanted to flee!
Today, he had used up a massive amount of time and energy to set up a trap that would cause heavy losses to Blue Torrent no matter what happened. If he let him escape, everything he did would be in vain…and in the future, Blue Torrent would be even more cautious. It would be nearly impossible to kill him.
He couldn’t allow him to escape!
Qin Yu reached a hand and ruthlessly grasped forward. “Time!”
A terrifying extraction feeling erupted within him and his field of vision flashed black. He fiercely bit down on his tongue, the pain and sweet taste of blood restoring his consciousness to brightness.
Across from him, the burning yellow symbol paper froze in place, and the figure of Blue Torrent paused within the spatial fluctuations. Blue Torrent’s wide eyes looked at Qin Yu, filled with endless shock as well as unconstrained fear.
With Qin Yu’s current cultivation, he could only forcefully stimulate the power of time to briefly interfere for a brief moment.
This was the only chance to have Blue Torrent stay behind!
He took a step forward and roared out loud. Qin Yu’s bones crackled and popped as he grew taller and larger. In an instant, his figure rose over 10,000 feet high.
He lifted a hand and grasped forward. The heavens and earth thundered as if endless roars crossed space and time to arrive at this space with an unwilling and unyielding will.
Within Qin Yu’s hand, black light loudly erupted. It extended outwards, transforming into a spear that seemed as if it could hold up the skies. Endless slaughter intent lingered around him, so thick and terrifying that it was nearly condensed into tangible essence.
Stepping forward, the world rumbled and space collapsed all around. Qin Yu had transformed into an Ancient race giant. He raised a hand, twisted his waist, and the Ancient God Spear in his hand was sent howling out.
Whoosh –
The sound of piercing air boomed in the ears. It destroyed space wherever it passed, forming a dark line of nothingness.
In an instant it penetrated through space, crashing at the rippling space where Blue Torrent was.
And at this time, the power of frozen time vanished..
“No!” Blue Torrent screamed in panic. As he did, a heaven-shaking eruption exploded around him, submerging his voice in chaos.
Hu –
Hu –
Qin Yu fell to a knee, gasping for breath. His Ancient race body metamorphosis rapidly faded away. His eyes darkened and all the blood drained fro his face.
He had caused time to pause, transformed into the Ancient race state, and even summoned the deadly Ancient God Spear to arrive…in a breath of time, Qin Yu had erupted with his greatest strength. Now, his strength was completely exhausted and he was left on the edge of collapse.
But all of this was worth it. Blue Torrent’s aura had vanished; he had been thoroughly erased from the world.
The half-burnt yellow symbol paper danced in the wind. Qin Yu clenched his teeth and stretched out a hand. With a loud ‘pa’, his palm sank down and the ground around him cracked like a spider web, spreading outwards.
The yellow symbol paper that fluttered in the wind seemed to be as light as a feather, but when it entered his hand it was impossibly heavy. With his current condition, it was difficult to hold it.
This symbol paper had to have a great origin!
As Qin Yu was thinking about how to put it away, something happened within his soul space. A fluctuation appeared in the strange force field formed by the rising and setting sun and moon.
Shua –
The yellow symbol paper vanished from sight. In the next moment it appeared directly in Qin Yu’s soul space. It leisurely fluttered around before falling onto the Cosmic Seacross Bell.
Although half of it was burnt away, the remaining portion still wrapped around it. Light flashed and then the yellow symbol paper fell silent.
“Mister Blue Torrent died! He died!”
“Shit! We are all doing to die with him! No one will be able to escape!”
“Kill them and take their heads back, perhaps our family members will be pardoned!”
“Kill him! No matter the price!”
Six fallen humans fell into a crazed condition. Their eyes turned blood red and they no longer cared about their own safety as they rushed at Hu An.
Pa –
Pa –
The sound of sharp weapons splitting open flesh and blood rang through the air. Hu An came to a fierce stop. The heads of the two fallen humans he clashed with flew into the air, blood spurting out from their necks.
“This is as far as I can go. If you don’t escape now then die together here with me and we’ll keep each other company!”
Hu An grinned. Then, he fell backwards. Before he struck the ground, the suppression of his injuries vanished. Blood splattered everywhere as his body split apart. But even so, the smile on his face never disappeared.
Before Hu An’s head fell to the ground, Qin Yu forced his exhausted out to go forward, squeezing out the last traces of strength to catch him.
Although doing this would worsen his condition and cause it even more difficult to recover, he did it without hesitation.
“Do you have any unfulfilled wish?”
All that remained of Hu An was a complete head. His eyes were wide and his lips moved with difficulty. “My….my daughter…she…is…called…Hu Shan...”
Qin Yu nodded. “Your daughter lives in the human region? And her name is Hu Shan? I understand. If I have a chance in the future I will find her and guarantee her safety for life.”
Hu An revealed a look of gratitude. With one last breath, his eyes closed.
Qin Yu took away a drop of blood and laid the head on the ground. Then, he looked up at the fallen humans that were wildly rushing at him.
A cold look appeared in the depths of his eyes. He spread out his arms and fell backwards.
Pa –
Like crashing through the surface of water, Qin Yu melted downwards.
In the next moment, his voice rang out from all directions. “The lives that you sacrifice will die beyond any hope of help. But, I believe that they are sure to be satisfied that they can drag you down into the Yellow Springs before they perish!”
At the summit platform, the countless creatures that had been offered to the Blood Sacrifice and had their flesh and blood crazily sucked out from them suddenly opened their eyes.
During the process of the Blood Sacrifice, although they had fallen into a coma, that was only to guarantee that the Blood Sacrifice process proceeded smoothly. Their consciousness had been awake from beginning to end, because pain was able to stimulate the Blood Sacrifice and provide it with even more strength.
As they woke up, their eyes revealed looks of gratitude. Immediately, they struggled to look at the fallen humans in the skies as well as the black armored obams, and their gazes became filled with endless resentment and rage.
“You trash, let’s all die together!”
“Hahaha, no one can escape, no one can escape!”
Hou –
This was the roar of a stone giant. It looked towards the place where Qin Yu had vanished, so excited that hot tears streamed down its eyes. That was the legendary Stone Giant Sovereign! It was a Stone Giant Sovereign that had killed the Blood Sacrifice controller!
My sovereign has taken revenge for me! Even if I die here today, I do so with contentment!
With a roar, the stone giant’s withered skin blew up like a balloon, rapidly inflating.
Kacha –
Kacha –
The sound of breaking sounds constantly spread out from within its body. The surface of its swelling skin was propped up with numerous bumps…as if countless giant crossbow arrows were hidden within the body of the stone giant.
Then –
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The stone giant blew apart. Countless sharp bones shot out from its body. They carried with them an incomparably terrifying strength as they pierced through the air with shrill cries.
Pa –
A black armored obam’s eyes flew open. It looked down to see its chest that had been pierced through. The slaughter energy that shrouded its body, its hard armor and even its tough mortal body were as frail as paper, not offering any resistance at all.
This was by no means an exception. Any black armored obam that was close to the stone giant instantly turned into bloody hedgehogs.
And this was only the beginning of a raging tide. As the stone giant exploded, the remaining sacrifices released their resentment and hate with the last traces of their life force.
Bang –
Bang –
Bang –
At the summit, thunderous sounds rang out like a storm, continuing without end!
Five days later, an investigation squad from Great King City finally overcame the impediment of the Ascendant Bluegold Array and arrived at the area of the array eye.
As they flew towards the summit, all of the obam froze in place. Their eyes widened with horror. Wherever they looked, they saw corpses that had been soaked in blood and were now dried up, turning a stiff deep black and red color.
And every inch of these terrible black and red blood-stained corpses were covered in bone spikes. They were densely stacked together in layers, looking like a forest of bones.
Of the six fallen humans, each one had at least several dozen bone spikes piercing through their bodies. Their fierce expressions were filled with injustice and everlasting regret. Before they died they should have been flying in the air. Then, they crashed into the forest of bone spikes. After being wounded twice, there was no intact place on their bodies.
Even more black armored obam were caught in the forest of bone spikes. Their panic stricken figures and faces were forever framed as how they died.
This was simply a purgatory….a purgatory of the obam race!
The highly experienced and normally calm investigation squad leader gulped. He said in a trembling voice, “Report back to Great King City…quickly report back to Great King City…tell them about everything that happened here...”
And at this time, Qin Yu had already escaped ten thousand miles away. He hid away in an area covered by the Ascendant Bluegold Array as he quietly recuperated.
By killing Blue Torrent, he accomplished his goal of preventing the enemy from breaking the array formation. Following this, he wasn’t prepared to do anything else. Once his strength was restored, he would return to Nine Nether Peak.
Thinking about this time buffer, the Stronghold Master and Doctor Ye should have found a way to deal with the rest of the mess.
