Chapter 54; Double Breakthrough (2/2)

Maybe the Earth Spirit Pearl knew that Qin Yu required a great amount of energy for his breakthrough, and did not leave any energy for itself this time around. All of the refined energy was transferred back to Qin Yu.

Upon feeling the surge of energy that was channeled into him, Qin Yu began to absorb the abundant energy. At this moment, the meridians within his body were heavily pounded by the sudden burst of energy and began to loosen and expand.

All of a sudden, a boom resounded. The air around Qin Yu had exploded and crazy wind torrents formed around him. The currents ruthlessly tore his tattered clothes and his jet black hair.

“Brother.” Mu Rongyue heard the commotion within the cave and thought that something had happened. She was shocked and rushed in.

“Brother, are you alright?” Mu Rongyue rushed towards Qin Yu and stared at him, her eyes brimming with worry.

“Huff.” Qin Yu breathed out in comfort as he grinned.

“I‘m fine, I just broke through.”

“A breakthrough?” Mu Rongyue stared hard at Qin Yu, her face full of doubt. The aura on Qin Yu still indicated that he was at the peak of Origin Realm.

As he saw the doubt on Mu Rongyue’s face, Qin Yu smiled. Suddenly, a strong aura burst out from his body and turbulent airwaves rolled around him, causing his robes to flap about majestically.

“The Beginning Stage of the Immersion Realm! Brother, you had broken through at such a fast pace! That’s great!” However, even while rejoicing, Mu Rongyue was still curious. “Since you’ve already broken through, then why was your aura…”

“I practice ‘The Skill of Aura Hiding’, and I am able to cover up my aura.” Qin Yu grinned as he answered. He then withdrew his aura and reverted to the peak of the Origin Realm once again. Mu Rongyue was fascinated.

“Congratulations, Master Qin. You’ve merely broken into the Immersion Realm yet you’ve caused such a huge impact. It’s the first time I’ve seen this.” Ruo Feng walked over with a shocked expression on his face. A sudden explosion of the air due to a breakthrough was unheard of. This was merely breaking into the Immersion Realm from the Origin Realm. If he were to be breaking into higher realms in the future, what phenomenon would he stir up?

Qin Yu stood up and felt power surging within him. What had made him happier was that the “Refined Qi” of the “Secrets of Eternal Life” had leveled up to the second level now. This meant that his self-recovery would be at a higher speed. This was more worthy of celebration compared to a breakthrough.

After he achieved a double breakthrough, Qin Yu now felt emboldened by his strength and ability. He felt that now was the time to head towards the center of the Illusory Battleground. That was the true arena for killing.

“Xiao Yue, we’ll go to the center of the Battlefield.” Qin Yu was full of fighting will. Since he was in the Illusory Battlefield, he should head to the real killing grounds. Within his sea of consciousness, the Earth Spirit Pearl was extremely excited as well. The more Qin Yu kills, the greater the number of fireflies that it would be able to refine for the energy it needs to evolve.

“Okay.” Mu Rongyue agreed and she looked towards Ruo Feng at the side.

“Ruo Feng, how’s your injury?”

“Miss, I’m fine already.” Ruo Feng answered readily, strength apparent in his voice.“

“It’s good that you’re okay. Let’s go.” Mu Rongyue followed Qin Yu’s pace and hurriedly stepped out of the mountain cave.

The middle area of the Illusory Battlefield was a true place of killing. Anyone who enters this area, even if they did not wish to kill, would still be influenced by the bloody spirit of the array. Their innate bloodlust would be uncovered and they would be compelled to kill, to madly indulge in the carnal pleasure of murder, until their enemies were all dead, or until they themselves were downed by their enemies.

The three of them had just neared the central area and yet they could already sense the murderous aura which wafted towards them.

Qin Yu was the most attuned to his senses, and he was able to perceive the influence of the will of the central arena, which carried a strong thirst for blood and murder. This will was able to permeate into one’s body unconsciously and subtly control one’s behavior and actions. It can cause one’s blood to boil.

Those with weak willpower would lose themselves to their innate thirst for blood and forgo their humanity. They would then turn into mindless killing machines obsessed with slaughter. Even if it were the people close to them, they might not hesitate when killing them.

Of course, this bit of will would not affect Qin Yu. He had lived twice, with his past life as Xie Di. Trying to influence his will would be a difficult task. However, it would be difficult to say the same for Mu Rongyue and Ruo Feng, who were standing behind him.

“Truly ruthless.” Qin Yu stopped walking and looked towards the central area that was shrouded in mist. He could not help but think about the mercilessness of the person who had set up the array. This was going to kill countless people.

“Brother, what’s wrong?” Mu Rongyue saw Qin Yu stop and rushed forward, her eyes fixated at the area full of murderous aura before her. She frowned as her blood started to become restless.

“Quick quick, faster. If we’re slow, we’ll be too late.”

Qin Yu was about to answer Mu Rongyue’s question when a group of men dashed forward from behind, yelling loudly. They had rushed past the three of them at lightning speed and seemed to be competing for something.

Behind them was another group of men who were hot on their heels.

“Hey, It’s Qin Yu.” One man within the group saw Qin Yu and stopped running immediately.

Qin Yu turned and his gaze paused after he saw him.

“Mo Badao.”

“What a pleasure to see you.” Mo Badao’s cold face had a slight grin.

If those who know him had seen the smile, they would all feel extremely shocked.

Mo Badao always had a cold expression and an overbearing aura. No one dared to come close to him or to make friends with him. Neither had anyone seen him smile at someone before. It was strange for him to actually smile at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu felt weird as well. Mo Badao seemed to be very friendly to him.

“Are you going to fight for the Spirit tools as well?”

“Spirit tools?” Qin Yu’s gaze brightened, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

Spirit tools were weapons that would make numerous cultivators go crazy. They had exceeded the standard of normal weapons and were of a higher level. Only Spirit Tool Masters could produce them and the entire Country of Qiongxi had none. This shows how scarce Spirit Tools were.

A spirit tool had appeared! No wonder so many people went berserk. A river of blood might have already been spilled for the sake of obtaining the spirit tool.

“You didn’t know?” Looking at Qin Yu’s expression, Mo Badao’s pupils contracted and he grinned strangely again. “Heh… it doesn’t matter if you didn’t know. I’ll leave first. Goodbye!” After he had spoken, he chased after the figures before him and left.
