Chapter 1436: Darkness Ruler

The blanket of darkness was constructed by Eye of Eternal Night and the inside was hidden from the Saints on the outside. As such, the two Darkness True Saints who remained outside were feeling puzzled and lost.

Right at that moment, there was movement from the blanket of darkness. The Darkness True Saint who went in came out with a dark expression.

Looking at his expression, the remaining two Darkness True Saints’ expressions changed and they hurriedly asked, “What happened?”

The Darkness True Saint smiled bitterly, “There is really a problem. Qin Yu has…” He suddenly drew closer to the two Saints.

Suddenly, the two Saints felt their bodies freeze out of the blue.

The Darkness True Saint’s hands pressed forward at lightning speed and with a soft boom, a hole appeared in the foreheads of the two Saints.

Their eyes were full of disbelief and shock. Qin Yu’s figure shifted and he changed back to his original appearance as he stared at the disappearing corpses.

Five True Saints – each of them would be considered top tier in the Vast Brightness World. Even though their statuses were shaken because there were traces of a Ruler descending, they were still absolute powers…yet they were killed just like that.

Despite the fact that he had personally killed the five Saints, Qin Yu could not help having some strange thoughts…so killing Saints was so easy!

However, this also showed how strong Eye of Eternal Night was. And he was only the second seat in the World of Darkness…it showed how powerful the Darkness Ruler was.

It was not going to be easy to kill the Darkness Ruler and Qin Yu knew that he might lose his life if he was not careful.

Just as these nervous thoughts crossed Qin Yu’s mind, Eye of Eternal Night’s cold voice came, “Prepare yourself, I will lure the Darkness Ruler over.”

So simple…was he not going to consider it again?

It felt like the two of them discussed such an important manner very hastily before they made their decision. Things felt sloppy.

Yet, it was evident that this was not what Eye of Eternal Night thought. He gave a reminder to Qin Yu and did not leave any room for discussion.

Kaboom!

All the darkness in the surroundings started to rumble like a tide. A deep, dark killing intent flooded the sky and covered the entire fantasy area of Transcendent Sword Sect. It became as fragile as a mirror and it was smashed apart into pieces easily.

Endless darkness gushed out from it like a river overflowing its banks. The darkness swept out and instantly covered a wide area over a hundred miles wide.

The darkness was as sticky as blank ink and loud crashing sounds could be heard. A bone-chilling aura was released into the air.

Rice Paper’s eyes widened and her face filled with shock as beads of sweat covered her, soaking her shirt and causing its hems to stick to her body. It was an uncomfortable feeling but she could not be bothered about that now.

What a terrifying sense of darkness energy. It felt like an eternal night that would devour everything. Thank goodness she was far away or she would have been dragged into it…just thinking about the consequences that would follow from there caused her to break out into cold sweat.

She thought of Mister Ninth within it. Although she knew that he was very strong, she felt nervous about him.

Nonetheless, she had no place to interfere here and she could only grit her teeth and continue retreating backwards, further away from the darkness.

At the same time, many cultivators who were in the world where the Transcendent Sword Sect was could feel the terrifying waves of energy. Numerous gazes followed the source of the trouble but no one dared to investigate it.

Nonsense. Such powerful waves of energy already made them feel utter despair despite being so far away from the source.

Why investigate it and court your own death?

……

Pitch black darkness was a constant in the World of Darkness.

On a silent, wide plain, stood a palace that was entirely shrouded in darkness. Around it was a mountain range formed via the accumulation of sand. This mountain range surrounded the palace and felt like a large shackle that bound the palace in place.

Suddenly, this old palace started to sway.

Buzz buzz –

The sound spread far and wide through the darkness and a figure slowly appeared in the grand hall. He wore a luxurious, oversized robe that hid his entire figure. This made him appear very mysterious and powerful.

If everyone looked at him now, they would see an endless abyss.

This was because he was formed purely out of the darkness of the world!

Shoosh –

A pair of eyes appeared in the hall. There was a calm, indifferent look in the eyes. Without any flicker of light within, the eyes appeared to be absent of life.

Right at that moment, a gust of wind circled the palace. The mountain range that was made out of sand suddenly had numerous cracks in it.

There were many tiny cracks that were densely packed and it looked like tiny sharp knife blades had continuously carved into the mountain. They also looked like arrows that were pulled back on a bow.

There was an aura that was locked on the palace. The figure wore a calm expression, as though it had no feelings towards what was happening. It appeared like he was already used to all of this.

It was highly likely that he had already gotten used to it.

He waited calmly. The cracks along the mountain range by the palace appeared to have sensed something or gotten permission to do something.

Without any forewarning, the cracks disappeared without a sound. It was as if everything had been an illusion. Of course, the person in the palace knew that this was not an illusion. This was a forbidden technique that the West Desolate used to imprison him.

So many years had passed without a chance to leave…he did not know when he would be able to obtain freedom.

There was a flicker in his eyes that disappeared quickly. The person in the hall stepped forward and he vanished without a trace.

……

The blanket of darkness where the Transcendent Sword Sect was shaken like a tide. Qin Yu focused himself as time ticked by.

No movement.

No movement.

Still no movement!

Just as Qin Yu started to wonder if Eye of Eternal Night had been lying and the plan was about to fail, he suddenly said, “He is coming.”

There had been no warning and these simple words carried a heavy meaning that caused people to tremble.

Either Qin Yu would ally with Eye of Eternal Night to kill the Darkness Ruler and obtain his crown or they were digging their own graves and they would die here.

He hoped that Eye of Eternal Night was not lying and he placed his faith in the East Sea Sword. All of a sudden, Qin Yu felt like his own strength did not have a decisive role in the matter.

This was a very harsh and ironic fact!

Qin Yu laughed bitterly to himself but this thought was quickly suppressed in him.

At this stage, unrelated thoughts would just be a waste of his energy.

Boom –

There was a deafening explosion. The skies above the Transcendent Sword Sect suddenly began to crack.

Yin and Yang energy seemed to reverse in that moment as darkness swallowed everything. There was no more trace of the sun that hung high in the air.

The Darkness Ruler was here!

Qin Yu felt like his five senses had been sealed. Everything in front of him was pitch-black and he could not hear a single sound. He felt like he had been banished into a space that was completely isolated from the outside world.

Thankfully, this feeling only lasted a split second before Eye of Eternal Night’s voice rang in his head, “Since you knew that this was a trap, why did you jump in voluntarily?”

The moment he heard this, Qin Yu’s heart clenched tightly and a very uneasy feeling rushed up him. His first thought was, “Oh no, the Darkness Ruler must have known about this.” They were stabbing themselves with this.

The other voice that came sounded as calm as still water and the warm night sky. His voice was almost soothing, the kind that would put others to sleep.

Qin Yu bit hard down on his tongue and he forced himself to be clear-headed from the pain. He quickly calmed himself down but horror filled him. The Darkness Ruler, this was the Darkness Ruler. His voice alone felt so threatening.

“This is the only time that I can attack you. This is a trap, but it is also an opportunity that I have been waiting such a long time for.” He paused and then laughed lightly, “If I absorb you, I might be able to break through the shackles on me. The shackles that the West Desolate placed on me.”

Eye of Eternal Night calmly said, “You can give it a try.”

Violent waves of forces exploded from the two and smashed fiercely against each other.

Eye of Eternal Night had set up a protective barrier around Qin Yu and he was not affected by the force. Despite that, he could sense how terrifying the two forces that clashed against each other were.

This was what he meant by a power slightly above the True Saint realm? No way! You bastard, your words are so unreliable!

The two of them were on a whole other level!

The only thing that Qin Yu could find comfort in was that Eye of Eternal Night was much stronger than he initially thought. He could fight against the powerful Darkness Ruler and stand his ground.

Right as this thought passed through Qin Yu, his expression suddenly changed.

Eye of Eternal Night’s voice rang in his head, “I suffered a heavy injury previously and I have not fully recovered. I can only hold on for a little while longer; you better be prepared to attack.”

Qin Yu recalled how Eye of Eternal Night was forcefully called upon in Bounded Zero Place previously. He must be referring to that moment.

Bastard!

If he knew that he was not fully recovered, why force this? Was it so important to act all mighty in front of that woman?

Never mind, he really could not understand Eye of Eternal Night. If he called forth that woman, she should be able to control the Darkness Ruler.

“We should not disturb Master for things that we can handle ourselves.” Eye of Eternal Night’s calm voice came again, “I think you will agree with me.”

Qin Yu’s body jerked as he sensed a heavy warning directed at him. It seemed like he would be given a ‘mark’ if he shook his head.

By then, he would not even be able to call forth the Sun Moon illusion and that woman. He would be taken care of immediately!

Mad, Eye of Eternal Night had gone mad. To be acknowledged by that woman, he dared to do something so crazy.

Qin Yu knew that he had such insane thoughts and he even dared to act upon them.

Was he being trapped by a crazy man? Bastard!

His expression stiffened, however there was nothing he could do now but bite his lip and accept the hard truth.

He would give it a try. Who knew if they could smoothly defeat the Darkness Ruler. If all else failed, it would be worth it to risk it.

He refused to believe that Eye of Eternal Night would stop him from calling for help if they were at death’s door.

Even if he was mad, there should be a degree to his insanity.

“You are so harsh!”

He gritted his teeth and yelled. The sense of satisfaction that came when he killed the five Saints easily previously was now completely gone.

Eye of Eternal Night, you idiot. Just wait, don’t let me get a chance or I will make sure you understand the taste of regret!
