Chapter 653A – Limitless Drifts Beneath the Moon

Purple moonlight burst out within Qin Yu’s soul space. Purple Moon stepped out, her appearance magnificent in her imperial dress. She looked at the closed eyes of Qin Yu’s soul, worry on her face.

Heart demon!

The more formidable a person was, the stronger their heart demon was. Thus, no matter a person’s cultivation or boundary, the eruption of their heart demon was a terrifying catastrophe. If one couldn’t withstand the heart demon and suffered a backlash…then all that remained was death. Besides that, there was no other possibility. And after the eruption of a heart demon, the chance of suffering a backlash was over 50%, perhaps even over 70%.

And what was even more horrifying was that Qin Yu was currently within the ‘Black Sky’. Because his consciousness had fallen to his heart demon he simply wasn’t able to resist the annihilating strength of the ‘Black Sky’.

In truth, Purple Moon still had a choice. After obtaining the godhead, she had restored a bit of her strength, at least enough to withdraw from today’s desperate situation. But if she did this, Qin Yu would surely die.

Her eyes flashed with a hint of struggle, finally turning into decisiveness. Purple Moon lifted her hands and the purple moon phantom behind her grew even brighter.

In the past when she had just entered this soul space, Purple Moon had remained silent. A part of it was because of her cold and quiet nature and another part of it was because she was observing Qin Yu. During these past years, she had borne witness to Qin Yu’s rise, she had seen his actions and his morals, his conscience, and believed that he was worth trusting.

So Purple Moon chose to make a bet. She would bet that Qin Yu would survive and overcome the backlash of the heart demon. But before then, she had to ensure that he lived on until that moment.

The purple moon phantom behind her grew increasingly bright. Just was it was about to erupt, somewhere within the soul space collapsed and the phantom of a sun wrapped in shadows appeared.

Shua –

Purple Moon spun around. Her eyes widened as she looked at the great sun phantom. When she felt the aura it emitted, she couldn’t help but tremble.

This…this was…

She fell to her knees. But before she could say, the great sun phantom sent out a thought fluctuation, “You should know that my existence cannot be declared.”

All the blood drained from Purple Moon’s face. All that remained there was respect and awe. “I greet the Lord.”

“I sense a familiar aura. Do not interfere in what is happening outside right now. Remember that you did not see me today, understand?”

“I will remember this. I vow to never reveal anything!”

“Very good.”

Purple Moon hesitated for a moment. Then she respectfully bowed, “My Lord, please help Qin Yu pass through this difficulty.”

The great sun phantom lightly said, “You underestimate him.”

…

After Black Sky was used, darkness covered the world. Not only was there no more warmth in the world, but one’s mind fell into pitch black darkness, losing all connection with the outside world.

Solitary Westgate summoned the Thunder Kirin without hesitation. Borrowing the power of the God Beast, he barely managed to illuminate the surrounding world with lightning.

His complexion grew incomparably ugly and anger flooded his eyes. He had placed all of his hopes in Qin Yu. He couldn’t allow anything to happen to him!

“Black Sky…this is actually Black Sky…the Immortal Sect has gone insane! Emperor Ying is also insane!”

Could they not know that when the Black Sky arrived, it would automatically seize the souls of all living beings between the heavens and earth and destroy everything?

But there was no meaning to thinking about these things any longer. Solitary Westgate only knew that he had to save Qin Yu.

Not even a god could resist the strength of the ‘Black Sky’. Even if today’s ‘Black Sky’ was incomplete, it was more than enough to slay a Calamity Immortal.

In front of the Black Sky Observer, the Buddhist Nation Sovereign was without expression. “The strength of a god…”

Emperor Ying said, “He wants to save Qin Yu.”

“There isn’t enough time.” Emperor Zhou had a faint expression. “He was struck by the backlash from his heart demon and is also suffering the corrosive destruction of ‘Black Sky’. Qin Yu will die.”

But at this moment, the Nether Domain Master seemed to suffer a vicious strike. His body trembled and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“This is impossible!”

He roared, his voice going hoarse.

The Buddhist Nation Sovereign’s complexion changed, “What happened?”

The Nether Domain Master didn’t have time to respond. There were loud cracking sounds from his chest as it caved in.

Then, he was sent flying backwards. The point between his eyebrows cracked open and blood dyed his face red.

The darkness for 100,000 miles around that constantly plundered the souls of living beings began to withdraw as fast as a falling tide. It left as fast as it came. Before anyone could react, light arrived.

Whether it was a coincidence or not, when the first ray of light broke through the darkness, it illuminated Qin Yu’s body and drew a golden halo around him. His figure grew tall and imposing, releasing an endless aura of majesty and nobility.

Emperor Zhou stiffened and his pupils shrank with panic. At this time, Qin Yu was like a towering mountain, capable of supporting the heavens and suppressing the world!

This was an incomparably formidable aura, one that was difficult to even think of resisting. And, he had felt this kind of aura in the Sealed Stone World before. It wasn’t that of a coward who hid away there and was afraid of death, but of the master of the nine dragon coffin hidden in the palace deep inside the Sea of Bewildering Fog.

Although the feeling Qin Yu gave off was far less intense than what he felt in the past, for some unknown reason, Emperor Zhou was even more horrified. As if what he saw and felt now was only a representation!

The black mountain erupted with an immense repelling strength, shaking away the Buddhist Nation Sovereign, Emperor Ying, and Emperor Zhou. Then, it rapidly shrank before howling in between Qin Yu’s eyebrows and submerging there.

It was taken by him?

The world fell into deathly silence!

Even though all the people fighting here today were unsurpassed peak powerhouses of the world, when they saw this scene occur they still fell silent for a long time.

Endless Buddhist light erupted in the depths of the Buddhist Nation Sovereign’s eyes. It was brilliant and dazzling.

“He hasn’t yet awoken from the backlash of the heart demon!”

He took a step forward and thrust down a hand. Buddha phantoms appeared in space. Each Buddha phantom lifted a hand and slammed down at Qin Yu.

Within Qin Yu’s soul space –

The black mountain had turned into a mote of light. Together with the Black Sky Observer, it sank into the great sun phantom. “I’ll leave the rest to you…”

The great sun phantom and the dark nothingness quickly disappeared. There was no aura left behind, as if nothing had happened here.

Purple Moon stood up. Looking at the place where the great sun phantom had disappeared, her eyes were still filled with awe and shock. Countless thoughts raced through her mind. She suddenly figured out many things, but even greater puzzles replaced them. However, there was one thing she was sure of…her judgment wasn’t wrong.

To be…chosen by that Lord, Qin Yu absolutely had a great destiny in front of him. In the future, he might become an existence that truly shined upon the world. To follow him might be the greatest good fortune in her life!

And right now was the best opportunity – a life-saving graciousness would not fade even after tens of thousands of years. This was particularly true for someone like Qin Yu who held friendship in such high regard.

Purple Moon bit her lips. The moon phantom behind her began to bloom with blinding brilliance as she burnt all the strength she had been saving.

Not only did she need to rescue Qin Yu, she had to display the immensity of her own strength. The friends of a powerhouse could only ever be other powerhouses. She had to show Qin Yu with her actions that she had enough strength to be a boost to him.

Shua –

Taking a step forward, Purple Moon appeared in the outside world. She looked up at the Buddhist Nation Sovereign and his thrust down palm. She narrowed her eyes as she swept over the countless great Buddha phantoms spread across the skies.

Purple Moon lifted her hands and a crescent moon appeared above her head. Its cold moonlight covered the earth and illuminated the Buddhist Nation Sovereign, Emperor Ying, Emperor Zhou, and the severely wounded Nether Domain Master.

This moonlight possessed no killing strength but it caused the complexions of these four supreme beings to change. An irrepressible sense of dread gushed out from their hearts.

What strength was this?

But there was no answer. There wasn’t even time to dwell further on this. The eyes of the four supreme beings violently shrank. This was because a crescent moon also appeared above their heads. It was the exact same as the moon phantom above Purple Moon’s head, shrunk countless times over, as if it were marking them.

Purple Moon’s eyes were cold and faint. Her red lips parted as she said, “Limitless Drifts Beneath the Moon…” Before her voice fell, the phantom above her head began to ‘combust’. Yes, that blazing light gave off such a feeling.

Then, four blades of moonlight flew out. They instantly passed through space, leaving behind countless afterimages as they stabbed at the four supreme beings. They were swift and fierce, as heavy as 10,000 mountains stacked atop each other and capable of piercing through anything.

The Buddhist Nation Sovereign stuffily coughed. He drew back his hand and clapped his palms together. The buddha phantoms in their skies thrust out protective seals that surrounded him in flowing layers of Buddhist light. In the next moment the moonlight swords howled and clashed with the Buddhist light. When they did, the Buddhist Nation Sovereign’s complexion changed. These moonlight swords contained an extremely strange strength. The Buddhist light shattered like an air bubble the moment it came into contact.

The layers of Buddhist light were easily broken apart. The Buddhist Nation Sovereign roared out loud and space shattered. His figure vanished in the darkness as the moonlight sword thrust at him.

In the next moment, the Buddhist Nation Sovereign’s figure appeared not too far away. His face was pale white. His red kasya had been torn on his shoulder and blood dripped out.

The moonlight swords’ aura wasn’t too strong but it possessed such a horrifying killing potential. If so, there was only one explanation. The strength of the person who condensed these swords was at a level that completely dominated their own.

Was this the Great Dao realm? That shouldn’t be…then, just who was this woman!?

Like the Buddhist Nation Sovereign, Emperor Ying and Emperor Zhou were also caught unaware and suffered a loss. But, the most miserable was the Nether Domain Master.

When the little blue lamp seized the Black Sky Observer, he had been controlling it and thus suffered a direct backlash. His injuries were far more serious than how they appeared on the surface.

Before he could even catch his breath a moonlight sword had struck at him. It easily tore through his protections of Netherworld strength. Because he couldn’t avoid it in time, a great hole had been opened up in his chest.

The black strength of the Netherworld surged rapidly around his wound, causing flesh and blood to regrow. But just as the wound closed, it broke open once more. The terrifying residual strength of the moonlight sword continued to harm him, causing streams of blood to flow each time.

And this was only the beginning.

The moonlight sword that howled through him didn’t vanish, but immediately turned around and continued to strike at the target it locked onto. The Nether Domain Master’s face turned blue. Disregarding his wounds, he blew apart space and fled inside in distress.

The Buddhist Nation Sovereign, Emperor Ying, and Emperor Zhou all did the same thing. The brief clash just now made something clear to them – they had no ability to directly contend with these moonlight swords.

After the swords pierced through space and chased them, they did so a third time, fourth time, and a fifth time…thus, a laughable scene occurred in front of everyone.

Beneath the ‘burning’ phantom of the moon, Purple Moon was still and motionless. These four supposedly transcendent supreme beings that looked down upon all others with disdain were being harassed and pursued right now. They were like little rabbits being chased through the winter wilderness by wolves, doing everything they could to escape time and time again.

If one didn’t see this sight in person, they would think it was utterly unbelievable. The Buddhist Nation Sovereign, Nether Domain Master, Emperor Ying, and Emperor Zhou were beyond enraged. But no matter how angry they were, they didn’t dare to stop and frontally face these moonlight swords. The four of them were well aware that all of Purple Moon’s actions were to buy time for Qin Yu. He was still in a state where he was struggling with his heart demon’s backlash.
