Chapter 379 – Perish Together
<hr>
Another ten days pa.s.sed . A seemingly peaceful mountain valley drew Qin Yu’s attention . As he carefully looked in, he finally discovered something strange . It was peaceful, incomparably peaceful . Within this mountain valley, time seemed to have stopped . There wasn’t the slightest breeze and even the branches and leaves of the ancient trees were frozen in place .
As if this was all a painting!
Qin Yu revealed a dignified expression . He took out the map and examined it . This was a white region without any markings at all . But, it was clear that this place wasn’t ordinary . As he thought about the Immortal Sect cultivators that had disappeared without a trace, he hesitated for a moment and then quietly flew in, landing outside the mountain valley .
Even here, Qin Yu didn’t detect anything different . If his senses weren’t sharp enough and he wasn’t careful, he wouldn’t have discovered the abnormalities within the mountain valley .
Standing at the entrance of the valley, he peered in . It wasn’t too large; it was around a thousand feet long and the entire s.p.a.ce within could be seen in a single glance . There wasn’t anything strange about it at all . Qin Yu took a deep breath and carefully entered the valley . His body was taut and he was prepared to deal with any unexpected dangers . However, everything remained calm and serene .
The valley continued to be peaceful, so peaceful he could hear his own footsteps rubbing across the green gra.s.s below . But, he didn’t relax at all . Instead, an inexplicable feeling of fear rose in his heart . As he walked through this unchanging and peaceful environment, it actually felt as if he were walking upon the raging waves . A single careless step and he would be swallowed up .
Soon, Qin Yu reached the end of the valley . He arrived at stone walls that weren’t too steep . They were covered with green moss and vines, and the occasional exposed stone below looked like sunken eyes .
Qin Yu frowned . He stared at the stone wall in front of him and then after a long time, lifted his hand and cut his finger across the void .
Slash –
With the sound of tearing cloth, the moss and vines on the mountain wall were ripped open like a picture that was sewn together and an opening as tall as a man was created . A wild raging aura suddenly erupted, instantly shattering the peace in the mountain valley . As s.p.a.ce shattered, the surface disguise of the valley began to fade away, revealing its true appearance .
The entrance turned into a vortex . The outside world wasn’t visible at all . In a scope of a thousand feet around Qin Yu, everything remained the same . There was still the soil, stone, and plants, but all of it had turned black as if some evil aura had pervaded it . The cliff in front of him had already vanished from sight . What was revealed was a great mouth, and the wild aura that erupted and shattered s.p.a.ce was all coming from this great mouth .
<hr>
But, what was strange was that this mountain valley seemed to be in some special sealing state . Although the aura within was raging, none of it leaked out .
Qin Yu looked up towards the skies . He grabbed a black stone and flung it into the skies . Just as it left the mountain valley, a black light flashed and the stone quietly disintegrated into powder .
His eyes violently contracted . Although this black light didn’t emit any aura, Qin Yu could sense just how terrifying it was . Even with his powerful king-step Demon Body, if he were caught in that black light he would likely suffer the same fate as that black stone .
His complexion fully darkened .
As he thought, this was indeed one of the Infinite Realm’s danger zones . Only by isolating itself from the outside world could it s.h.i.+eld against the Infinite Realm’s rules . And slumbering within most these danger zones were extremely horrifying existences . Although Qin Yu had the strength of a Revered Blue Sea when he went all out, he was still too weak in the face of these slumbering existences .
He couldn’t help but feel a bit of regret before immediately suppressing it . He stared at the great mouth in the mountain valley, clenched his teeth, and walked in . Since he had already arrived, only by entering into its depths could he find the way to leave .
Stepping into the mouth, Qin Yu’s body froze . In the distance he could see a ma.s.s of black fog . Four eyes glowed in the darkness, instantly locking onto him .
“A mere second level Divine Soul junior from the outside world; he isn’t anything to worry about . ”
“First I’ll eliminate you and then deal with him later!”
Two fluctuations of thoughts transmitted to each other and the four eyes vanished . In a moment, the black fog began to rumble and the terrifying aura seemed to be absorbed by the black fog . Still, the slight traces that emitted reminded Qin Yu of those terrifying fluctuations he just sensed .
If it weren’t for this black fog, the entire mountain valley would likely have been broken apart .
Qin Yu took a deep breath . His body’s movements were restored to freedom and his heart raced like thunder . His pale face revealed fear . Although he didn’t see their true bodies, just those four eyes had caused him to feel a nearly substantialized feeling of death . He didn’t doubt that the masters of those eyes had the ability to extinguish his body and soul with just a wave of their hands!
Luckily, both sides were in the midst of battle and neither one cared for a weak and tiny cultivator like Qin Yu, thus they decided to ignore him for now . But, this was only temporary . Once their battle finished, no matter which side won, they absolutely wouldn’t mind having a sweet snack afterwards .
Qin Yu’s thoughts raced and he soon discovered that there was nowhere for him to run . The entire mountain valley was sealed by an invisible wall and even if he erupted with the power of the burning heavens, there was no chance of him breaking through it . As he looked at the black fog in the distance his complexion paled . Did he really have to wait here for his death to arrive?
No! Absolutely not!
Qin Yu forcefully suppressed his fear and anxiety . He took a deep breath, his thoughts racing . Soon, he found the smallest possible ray of hope!
It was clear that these two terrifying existences were in the midst of battle . If they perished together, Qin Yu would be safe and sound . But the chance of this was impossibly small . However, if the side who won was severely wounded, Qin Yu still had a chance of living .
The power of the burning heavens…Qin Yu never imagined that after using it not too long ago, he would be forced to do so again . And this time, it likely wouldn’t be only the two breaths of time he used to kill the evil spirit .
