Chapter 1182: One Against Many
Chapter 1182: One Against Many
None of the cultivators who were able to come here were mediocre or average. In fact, they could be called outstanding elites of their generation.
They did not lack in strength or field of vision!
They certainly knew what Qin Yu’s strike meant – the Space Laws. It was a dreadful and unparalleled Great Dao that was second only to the path of time.
The vast brightness contained countless worlds. They were large and small like islands that dotted a limitless sea.
Within, God boundary cultivators were like grains of sand in a desert. But how many of them were qualified to cultivate the rules of the Great Dao, and how many of them could touch the Space Laws?
Let alone God boundary cultivators, it was an absolute rarity for even formidable Origin God cultivators to perceive the Space Laws.
But there was one point that was without doubt. Any cultivator that perceived the Space Laws would have strength far beyond their boundary, and also have a growth potential that was the envy of everyone.
Proud elites of heavens had gathered from all sides in this mystic realm. But not a single person here was fortunate enough to control the power of space.
This…how could they not be shocked?
….
“Space Laws!” There were several figures in the aether. One of them spoke up, his voice shaking as he did.
It was only when someone reached their level of cultivation and there was almost no further progress to be found that one understood more and more about how terrifying the rules of space and time were.
More importantly, besides their formidable power, the rules of space and time represented future potential.
The path of time was illusory. Besides Rulers, almost no one could control it. Even when it came to the Great Dao of Space, even those that were gathered here today had only peeped at the threshold.
And this was only because they had the assistance of their boundaries. With their resonance of the world, they slowly accumulated their knowledge. This was completely different from perceiving it themselves. There was almost no potential for growth, so it would be unfathomably difficult to advance in the future.
“Everyone, if you give this person to me, I am willing to withdraw from today’s competition.” The spectator slowly said.
Several sneers came in response. “Your plan is decent, but do you think that we don’t know how precious the Space Laws are?”
“Even if the spirit body in the Profound Vision World is completely mature, its true value cannot even begin to compare with the Space Laws!”
The aether fell into silence. No one spoke, but their eyes were filled with burning heat!
…
Qin Yu didn’t know that because of the Blue Point Finger, numerous eyes had locked onto him, initiating the greatest crisis of his life.
If he handled things incorrectly, all that would await him was an incomparably miserable fate.
Of course, these were all things to be discussed later. As he stared at the Transcendent Sword cultivator, he could see dread in his opponent’s eyes.
It was easy to imagine how hardened this strong Transcendent Sword cultivator’s determination was. Yet such a determined person had been frightened by the power of space that Qin Yu utilized. It was inevitable that the other cultivators would be even worse off.
But that was exactly Qin Yu’s goal.
In order to conceal Yun Shi’s aura and extend her life, he had fallen far from his peak state. Once he fell into a fierce battle with this Transcendent Sword cultivator, it would likely create severe side issues.
Moreover, Guiding Chapter Academy’s Ruan Jing was eyeing him from the side.
From the moment he joined forces with this Transcendent Sword cultivator, one could see that he was the type that would easily bully a few with the many.
He frightened these people so that they wouldn’t dare to recklessly attack him. As long as he lasted until the mystic realm soul body’s appeared, everyone’s attention would shift.
In a normal situation, Qin Yu’s plan did have a low chance of success. It could even be said that with things having reached this step, he had mostly succeeded.
But what he didn’t know was that many years ago, because of an accidental harvest, Ruan Jing had touched upon some superficial knowledge of the Space Laws.
But since it was superficial, it was extremely shallow. It provided almost no help to his strength.
But the Space Laws were still the Space Laws. Once this matter was confirmed all news was blocked. As that happened Ruan Jing became one of the core disciples of the academy and resources were poured into him, allowing him to obtain his current cultivation.
The only thing that was a pity was that Ruan Jing’s Space Laws were obtained by external means, so even though he had tortured himself trying to comprehend them, he had never managed to cross the threshold.
As for himself, with the passing of the years, he gradually cut off his ambitions of controlling the Space Laws.
But now, as Qin Yu fought with Soaring Sky, Ruan Jing witnessed a true attack of the Space Laws.
At this moment, as everyone was left stunned, his innermost emotions had ignited and begun burning his mind – kill Qin Yu and wrest away his Space Laws!
For anyone else, this would have been basically impossible. But, there was a certain chance for Ruan Jing.
Even if the hopes weren’t high, this was enough for him to risk it all without hesitation.
So while Qin Yu was intimidating all the other cultivators, Ruan Jing made a bold move.
And while his goal was Qin Yu, the one he targeted was the unconscious Yun Shi.
Qin Yu’s regards towards her was enough to become a powerful bargaining chip. If he wanted to kill Qin Yu it would be difficult, but there were no shortages of powerhouses here…the premise was that there was enough motivation for them to attack Qin Yu.
After all, this was an enemy that controlled the Space Laws. If they couldn’t kill him today, he would become a disastrous enemy in the future!
Yun Shi was the key!
Bang –
Space collapsed, swallowing Yun Shi within. Before Qin Yu could even react with anger that Ruan Jing would dare to attack, he thrust in his hand and pulled Yun Shi back out.
To use spatial methods to seize someone in front of a person who controlled the Space Laws, that was extremely stupid.
But in truth, Ruan Jing had done this on purpose. He only wanted to grab everyone’s attention, not to really capture Yun Shi.
“Everyone. I, Ruan Jing, am willing to make a vow on the name of Guiding Chapter Academy that the woman beside Qin Yu is hiding an enormous secret within her body, one which involves that thing we all want to obtain from the mystic realm.
“If we don’t take that woman or kill her, we will obtain nothing from this mystic realm!”
Everyone’s complexions changed.
By swearing a vow on the name of Guiding Chapter Academy, Ruan Jing wouldn’t dare to speak nonsense, otherwise even he wouldn’t be able to withstand the consequences.
And more importantly, besides this possibility, people couldn’t figure out why Ruan Jing would still try to attack him. Everyone had witnessed Qin Yu’s power, and unless Ruan Jing had no other choice, he wouldn’t have done that.
Most of the cultivators who intruded into the Land of Disorder were not sure why so many famous and prominent young powerhouses had come this time.
But in the end, there were some people who had inside information, and coincidentally, almost all of those insiders were gathered here.
As they thought about the strict instructions they received before leaving, it was easy to figure out that Ruan Jing must have obtained a pledge by some great person. This would be the only reason he was willing to take such a risk.
With this in mind, everyone mostly believed what Ruan Jing was saying.
If not for this, why would Qin Yu carry an unconscious woman around with him? He had to know something.
Then, the eyes that gathered towards him started to shine with a dignified light.
Qin Yu secretly thought to himself that this wasn’t good. He hadn’t hesitated to expose the Space Laws in order to deter these people, but if their vital interests were involved with his, that would be a completely different scenario.
None of these people dared to face him alone, but what if they joined forces? The Space Laws were strong, but they weren’t strong enough to completely overwhelm all of them together.
Sure enough, Qin Yu could sense eagerness in the eyes looking at him.
Even we don’t have anyone with something as high-end as the Space Laws, so why do you have them?
This was a kind of dark psychological thinking, but it was present, and one of the important influencing factors when these people made their decision.
Ruan Jing was sure that everyone had been moved. Now all they needed was a turning point to push them into action.
As he clenched his teeth and was about to risk danger to be the first to attack Qin Yu, someone else opened their mouth.
The voice was dark and cold, “Qin Yu…you dare to kill someone from my Sly Fate Clan. No matter who you are, you must die!”
Faint blood red traces gushed out from the void, surrounding Qin Yu. They constantly twisted and fluctuated, condensing into fierce ghostly faces.
The blood spot on the back of Qin Yu’s hand was suddenly activated. It turned into countless blood runes that started to spread outwards.
At the same time, a sense of fear exploded in his heart. Then, an extreme yin chill aura erupted in his soul.
It was like whistling ice blades trying to cut Qin Yu’s soul into countless pieces and sever his vitality!
With a stuffy cough, Qin Yu’s complexion paled and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He raised a fist and punched outwards.
His fist collided with a palm that drilled out from space. There was a stuffy cough from within as it blew apart and a pale Soul Hook stumbled out.
He stared at Qin Yu, his eyes shaking, “Hidden soul treasure!”
The strength he thrust into Qin Yu’s soul had erupted for just an instant before he lost all contact with it.
Soul Hook licked his lips, his tongue appearing even more red. “Ruan Jing, I’ll work with you to kill him, as long as I get his hidden treasure.”
The Sly Fate Clan was said to control destiny and could change the flow of life and death. But all of that was based on the premise that they had a sufficiently formidable soul.
If he could obtain Qin Yu’s secret soul treasure, Soul Hook was confident that his strength could rise drastically in a short period of time. He might even touch the Yama boundary.
“I don’t care who the hidden soul treasures goes to, but fellow daoist Qin Yu must explain why that woman besides you has the bloodline of my Ash Flame Lineage flowing in her.”
The bald Flare Wind stepped forward, staring at Yun Shi in Qin Yu’s arms. Because of the sudden soul attack from the Sly Fate Clan, the strength that supplemented the dark moon and red sun had stopped for a moment, causing their revolution to stagnate.
Although it had been quickly restored, some of the aura that burst out had been caught by Flare Wind.
He was finally able to determine that the bloodline from his clan that he felt in the mountain valley on that day belonged to Yun Shi.
As for Qin Yu, he was that unknown powerhouse!
The situation had suddenly reversed.
Compared to when Ruan Jing attacked, three cultivators now stood across from Qin Yu.
Guiding Chapter Academy’s Ruan Jing!
Sly Fate Clan’s Soul Hook!
Ash Flame Lineage’s Flare Wind!
If the Transcendent Sword Sect’s Soaring Sky was added on…then almost all the peak powerhouses here had joined in.
The atmosphere immediately changed!
Qin Yu was strong, but no matter how strong he was he wouldn’t be able to fend off the joint attacks of four proud sons of heaven!
In other words, the most likely situation was that…he would die today!
