Chapter 1149B. Undying Body
Chapter 1149B. Undying Body
His body suddenly exploded into countless fragments.
King Mystery, who had just attacked, was stunned. He found that his punch had finally killed the Shadow of Betrayal.
His lips subconsciously lifted in a smile. But just as this smile appeared and before it could widen, he froze in place.
His eyes widened with anger. He roared and his True King Form punched out a fist. But the wild strength he erupted with had no effect on the black shadow that came hurtling at him. It howled into his body in the blink of an eye.
King Mystery stiffened. He looked down at his body and the giant shadow it cast. Although there were only slight ripples, the truth didn’t escape his eyes.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. The heart in his chest beat crazily and the power of his bloodline erupted, surging through every inch of his flesh and blood.
Nothing!
King Mystery shivered. A chill gushed out from his heart and gradually spread through his body.
He opened his eyes and welcomed Ao Fa’s gaze. This old Demon Dragon…was he pitying him? That’s right, there was pity, but there was even more fear.
Damn it!
This kind of look caused King Mystery’s complexion to become even uglier.
The terrifying shaking force in space was rapidly fading away. But, the ancestral land seemed to have lost the fountainhead of its strength.
Or it could be said that the eternal attribute which it had been blessed with was now disappearing.
The most direct expression of this was that the restoration speed of the torn space and earth had slowed down.
And Qin Yu also obtained freedom at this time.
After a brief silence, the little blue lamp sighed. It said, “It…just how afraid of death is it. With the status of a shadow, it actually cultivated the Undying Body…”
In fact, the little blue lamp’s emotions were only halfway expressed before the rest of it fell on Qin Yu.
The Shadow of Betrayal had cultivated the Undying Body. The little blue lamp had never once thought that this would happen, so this was a variable that was outside of its plan.
It wasn’t that the little blue lamp wasn’t meticulous enough, but something like the Undying Body…tsk tsk, of course this wasn’t the so-called ability to recover from any injury and be almost immortal…it was instead a kind of heaven-defying attribute. As long as it was displayed, one could survive.
In short, the difficulty of cultivating it successfully was terrifyingly high, so high that it would basically never appear in the world.
But it had appeared…although this was an accident, at this moment it actually wasn’t a threat. On the contrary, it would replace the most dangerous part in the little blue lamp’s plan.
Okay. It was time to speak the truth. There was no perfect plan in this world. The more someone wished to obtain, the higher the corresponding price they had to pay.
So Qin Yu’s guess wasn’t wrong. He originally had to take risks, but since this was now described with ‘originally’, it naturally showed there was no longer any need for him to risk himself.
This was the reason for the second half of the little blue lamp’s emotions falling on Qin Yu…this boy Qin Yu’s luck was truly invincible! It was fine on ordinary days, but when it came to critical moments, his luck always seemed to power up.
If this was just it, the little blue lamp wouldn’t have given birth to such emotions. The most essential point was that the shadow of the abyss had cultivated the Undying Body!
And in the end, this shadow would become Qin Yu’s thing.
When it described the previous chances of being 100,000 times smaller, that was now inappropriate.
If everything proceeded smoothly, it would be 10,000 times…no, perhaps it was several thousand times or even lower than that.
One couldn’t look down on the shrinking of this factor. It had to be known that the little blue lamp’s designated goal was the main body of the abyss’ will itself.
But feeling emotion was one thing. The little blue lamp quickly reacted, so the revised follow-up plan immediately popped into Qin Yu’s mind.
After a brief pause, Qin Yu stepped forward and said, “King Mystery, you are in grave danger!”
King Mystery was full of raging flames with nowhere to vent them. He felt as if he would immediately explode when he heard these words, “I know! I don’t need you to remind me!”
He truly was furious right now.
He was just about to kill the Shadow of Betrayal. While there was still the threat of Qin Yu, if he worked together with that old demon dragon Ao Fa, there was a high chance they could share a considerable profit.
But who imagined that in the blink of an eye, the Shadow of Betrayal would blow himself up, turning into fragments that fused into him and became a part of his shadow.
Even an idiot would know that despite him not being able to detect these shadow fragments or sense any threat from them, they weren’t simple at all.
What nonsense, this was a shadow of the abyss!
And what caused King Mystery to feel even more anger was the question of why had it chosen him.
That old demon dragon Ao Fa was strong and sturdy with a larger physique; wasn’t he a better choice? And there was also Qin Yu. His cultivation base was weak and he was still trapped in place; he was an easy target. So, why had he been chosen?
Did the Shadow of Betrayal think he was easy to bully? Did he think that his True King boundary was shallow and weak?
The more King Mystery thought about it the angrier he became. His complexion paled, becoming so dark that it seemed to drip water.
Ao Fa rejoiced. But at the same time his complexion was ugly. After consuming the strength of his True King Form, things ended just like this?
He hadn’t even obtained a single benefit…this was not the style of the Abyssal Demon Dragons!
Ao Fa took a deep breath and asked, “King Mystery, what happened?”
King Mystery’s face almost turned blue. What happened…if you ask me, who am I supposed to ask!?
He took a deep breath and said, “I must immediately return to the Nether Royal Bloodline…goodbye!” He lifted a hand, about to tear apart space. Now that Old Turtle’s aura had vanished, the ancestral land was no longer capable of sealing in a True King.
Qin Yu lightly said, “King Mystery, it seems you haven’t truly understood my meaning.” Facing King Mystery’s cloudy eyes, he said, “The fragments of the Shadow of Betrayal have taken root in your shadow. After years of gestation, he will complete his rebirth.
“At that time, he will slowly swallow your shadow, bit by bit…trust me, that is something you have no means of stopping. The final outcome is that you will completely lose your will and become a puppet whose body has been seized.”
King Mystery coldly said, “How are you sure?”
Qin Yu said, “I am sure because I know that the shadow fragments the Shadow of Betrayal split into are called the Time Undying Body.”
He paused, his expression turning low and heavy. “The approximate meaning of this name is that even the rapid passage of time cannot destroy it. You should understand that time is undoubtedly the greatest and more irresistible force in this world.”
Time Undying Body…
King Mystery’s pupils shrank. Although this was his first time hearing this name, when he did he felt a cold chill rise from his heart. Like a rock falling into water, it created ripples that spread through him, freezing him.
His intuition told him that Qin Yu was speaking the truth. He looked down at his shadow. It was like a fathomless great pit, an open mouth that grinned fiendishly as it waited for him to crash into it.
A cold sweat instantly covered his forehead and King Mystery’s complexion paled. This was because it wasn’t just Old Turtle that feared death. In fact, all living beings in this world instinctively dreaded death.
Correspondingly, the stronger someone was, and the longer they lived, the greater their fear of death.
The dark cruelty in his eyes slowly disappeared, replaced by fear and restlessness. King Mystery stared at Qin Yu, “What else do you know?”
Qin Yu said, “I also know how to save you.”
King Mystery fell silent. He didn’t doubt Qin Yu. From the moment he tossed out the name of Time Undying Body, there was a chance he knew how to save him.
He took a deep breath and said, “What do you want?”
Qin Yu smiled, “I lack a formidable servant.”
“That’s impossible!” King Mystery roared out loud. He widened his eyes and glared at Qin Yu, flames of anger burning within them.
If this was any other time, Qin Yu would have been torn to shreds upon saying this. This was the greatest humiliation to a True King!
But the situation was always stronger than a person. No matter how angry or unwilling he was, if he wanted to survive he had to patiently bear it.
“Qin Yu, you should understand that in order to reach the True King boundary, you need to obtain the approval of the abyss’ will and fuse with a part of the abyss’ source. So strictly speaking, all Abyssal True Kings are a part of the abyss’ source. It is impossible for me to become…your…servant.”
He stopped but eventually said this shameful and rage-inducing word.
Qin Yu put on an enlightened appearance. He nodded, “So that’s how it is. I apologize, it was this junior who was ignorant and rude.” He paused and continued to say, “Then let’s change the condition. I ask senior to please stay by my side for a period of time. Let’s tentatively set a time of 100 years. When this time period is over, you can regain your freedom.”
He looked at King Mystery, “To the True King boundary, 100 years is just a snap of the fingers. Compared to your life and death, it is nothing at all. Moreover, I guarantee that I will give senior proper respect.”
This was a kind of negotiation skill. First, make an absolutely impossible request. Once rejected, take a step back and ask for something else. This condition wouldn’t be rejected so easily.
Moreover, Qin Yu’s words were a great temptation. Compared to the life and death of a True King, 100 years wasn’t anything at all.
King Mystery was uncertain. He burned with anger, so much so that his eyes almost turned red. He was a formidable True King of the Nether Royal Bloodline. Since when had he received such a threat?
“Very well. I agree!”
If he could suppress Qin Yu then he could certainly find a way to force the answer out from him. But King Mystery wasn’t confident he could. This was because Qin Yu’s previous performance was too incredible.
Who the hell knew what sort of cards this boy was still hiding. If he provoked him…he would die without knowing how he died. He was living well, so how could he die!?
100 years. He clenched his teeth. That time would pass before he noticed it. After that he could figure out another solution to settle things with Qin Yu.
Hum hum! Did he really think there was no price to pay for insulting a solemn True King?
Qin Yu smiled. “King Mystery, please do not worry. I will soon help you take out the Undying Body fragments from your shadow.”
As he spoke to here, he looked at King Mystery and his smile became even brighter.
With a humph, King Mystery said, “I swear upon my source that I will follow Qin Yu for a hundred years. If I violate this vow, I will be rejected by the abyss!”
An invisible restraint immediately appeared. This was the instinct of the abyss’ will and wouldn’t arouse its interest. When Qin Yu felt this restraint, he relaxed. Although he was confident King Mystery wouldn’t flip the table because of this, before the curtain dropped on this play, any change was possible.
Now, the situation had finally entered a rhythm that he could control.
