Chapter 392 – Spirit Lock
<hr>
Everything in front of Qin Yu turned black . Not only could his eyes see nothing but even his soul was the same, as if he had fallen into an eternal abyss of darkness . Within this darkness, time and s.p.a.ce lost all meaning and every bit of strength he had was suppressed . Up above his head, only a crescent purple moon was barely exuding a faint purple light .
This purple light allowed Qin Yu’s soul to move a little so that he didn’t fall into complete stillness . However, though he was able to move a little he still couldn’t sense or feel anything in the darkness around him . This only drowned him in an even deeper despair and fear .
At this time, Spirity appeared beneath the pale purple light . Her complexion was even paler, like a piece of translucent white tissue . She emitted a weak feeling, as if a single tiny breeze could blow her apart .
“Qin Yu, my time is limited . Listen well to my following words . Although the Underworld Great Commander is only a projection, he has still obtained the strength of the world . He is not someone that the current Undying can hope to contend with . At most he will be able to last for a little while longer . If you want to survive, you must depend on yourself .
“I will pa.s.s on a technique to you, to forcefully lock in your own vitality . Even if you open the power of the burning heavens, the scale of your losses will be dramatically lowered . However, there is something you must know . When you utilize the power of the burning heavens, the blood energy, magic power, and lifespan you lose isn’t truly burnt away . Rather, it is offered up as a sacrifice to the demonic altar . What you will be doing is no different from cheating . For concealing away the strength that it should be offered, the demonic altar will surely lower a punishment onto you .
“I will use my own deep slumber as the price to blind the demonic altar from sensing you . Do not feel guilty . After all, I am a great reason for why this is all happening right now . ”
She paused for a moment and then said, “If you really wish to help me then become as strong as possible . I can borrow the power of your soul force to regain consciousness . Then, farewell my little master . ”
She flicked her finger and a sphere of light flew in between Qin Yu’s eyebrows . It dispersed into countless bits of starlight that disappeared into his soul s.p.a.ce .
At this time, Qin Yu’s connection with her was nearly severed . Luckily, that last fragment that linked them together allowed him to determine that Spirity was still alive .
All sorts of emotions tumbled in Qin Yu’s heart, eventually becoming guilt and grat.i.tude . He vowed to himself that he would help Spirity regain consciousness as soon as possible . Then, restraining his thoughts, he used all his mind to focus on the light that Spirity sent into his soul .
Hum –
A strange fluctuation emerged from that light, instantly covering Qin Yu’s soul . Then, countless pieces of information rushed out, imprinting itself into the depths of Qin Yu’s soul and becoming something that could never be erased .
<hr>
This was a strange technique called Spirit Lock – to lock in one’s own spiritual essence, so that it would never disperse or fade and so that the world itself could not seize it…these opening words shocked Qin Yu, causing his mind to be completely immersed in it .
In the arena, beneath the seven great suns up above, Undying had manifested into a phantom that crazily attacked the Underworld Great Commander . On his back, the Soul Burying Flag erupted with billowing black gas that twined around his body, transforming into a dignified robe . On the front of this robe was a delicate lifelike ghostly face . Its eyes were closed, and between its eyebrows was a tightly shut third eye that faintly s.h.i.+ned with a blood red color .
The Underworld Great Commander’s actions weren’t fast, but every time its sword slashed out and cut down it would contain a heaven-shocking strength . Terrifying aura fluctuations swept out like a hurricane . Wherever it crossed, the heavens and earth collapsed . It was a scene of destruction as if the world itself were coming to an end .
Undying didn’t dare to touch these shockwaves at all . But as the battle continued it became increasingly frenzied and dangerous . The Underworld Great Commander’s prestige and might grew stronger and stronger, as if he were an evil G.o.d descended upon the world .
Suddenly, Undying’s figure vanished . When he appeared once more, he was at the side of the Underworld Great Commander . The Hundred Nether Sword in his hand had turned into a flow of black light that stabbed out .
The Underworld Great Commander chopped down with his sword . As it collided with the Hundred Nether Sword, the Hundred Nether Sword trembled for a moment before it shattered into countless pieces that howled in all directions . At this moment, the third eye on the ugly ghost face adorning Undying’s robe suddenly opened and a dreadful blood red wave surged out .
“Haha! I was waiting for this move!” The Underworld Great Commander lifted his hand . On his palm, a black eye suddenly opened . A pitch black s.p.a.ce was seen in its pupils, like a vortex leading to another world .
All of that terrifying scarlet light was swallowed up by the black eye in the center of his palm . However, the power of that attack seemed to surpa.s.s the Underworld Great Commander’s expectations . He coughed once and the purple flames in his eyes darkened . Blood also started to flow from the black eye in his palm . However, he wasn’t angered at all . Rather, he roared out in excitement, “Such a weak and withered strength was actually able to harm me . It looks like you were far stronger than I expected during your prime .
“But that is for the best . Your tattered soul must have some clear traces of the world left behind . Or, perhaps you might have opened up your own path already . By swallowing your soul, there is a high chance I can obtain the turning point for advancing forward!”
Undying shook his head, his voice somewhat helpless . “I thought that by fleeing, there would be hope for a new beginning . But now it seems that this world’s inertia is indeed formidable . That which should be dead should disappear forever . ” He paused for a moment and then said, “Hey, little kid, since you are Blackstream’s bloodline descendant and also someone that managed to smoothly rise to the position of Underworld Great Commander, could it be that he didn’t tell you to never underestimate any existence that had once touched upon the world?”
The purple flames flickering in the eyes of the Underworld Great Commander suddenly blazed higher as a fierce feeling of crisis shrouded his mind . He raised his sword up and the phantom of a world arrived, protecting him .
In the next moment, the world phantom violently shook . Dents appeared, immediately producing countless cracks that rapidly spread outwards .
Rumble rumble –
The world phantom shattered and dispersed . The Underworld Great Commander cried out pitifully and the purple flames in his eyes suddenly weakened, not even a tenth as bright as they were before . They were so dark and gloomy that they seemed as if they would extinguish at any moment .
Undying was still in the stance of having a raised finger . He sighed deeply . Then, his figure scattered, turning into a shadow that returned to the one beneath Qin Yu .
“Just a little bit more and you would have destroyed my projection in this world . But this tiny difference is enough to sentence you to death . ” The Underworld Great Commander’s voice was low and gravelly . “I will tear your souls into shreds and then slowly swallow them all . ”
He stepped forward . The Underworld Great Commander appeared in front of Qin Yu . The black eye on his palm opened once more .
At this time Qin Yu suddenly drew backwards, rapidly retreating .
The Underworld Great Commander was startled for a moment . Then he sneered, “Little boy, just where do you think you can run off to?” He lifted a hand and grasped out . Qin Yu stiffened as he froze in midair .
Shua –
