âUndying, how much longer do you need?â
Although he had successfully dodged the second punch, he didnât have much confidence he could avoid the third. With his current condition, if he was hit one more time by that punch, he would be severely wounded at the bare minimum.
Undyingâs voice sounded out, âJust a little bit longer!â His voice was hoarse and weary, but there was also a bit of excitement he couldnât concealâ¦like a shark that smelled blood.
Qin Yu was left speechless. Hey brother, I was almost punched to death here so why do you seem as if youâre going into heat or something?
Suddenly, a dignified sound came from the bone cage. The army seemed to have been incited by this sound and their attacks sped up. At the same time, some of the forces that besieged the Immortal Sect and Demonic Path began to race over here.
Qin Yuâs complexion instantly changed. He was barely managing to keep up as it was. If the number of soldiers on him doubled, then that little fist wouldnât need to make another move before he was beaten to death.
âUndying, if you delay any further then youâll have to gather my corpse for me!â
âAlright. Attack the bone cage, I will lead master out of here!â
Bang â
The ground shook and a wild strength swelled out, sending the surrounding soldiers flying away. Qin Yu could hear the groans coming from his bones but he couldnât care about the aching pain spreading through his body. He turned and rushed towards the bone cage.
After taking several steps the bone cage appeared in front of him. Qin Yu lifted a hand and punched out. A common-seeming shadow was quietly wrapped around his fist.
When the fist fell Qin Yu was shaken several steps away. An additional mark was added to the surface of the bone cage.
Then, faint traces of ash gray lines drilled out from this mark, spreading along the surrounding bone. Once the gray lines spread out to an area the size of a human body, they instantly tightened. Like countless sharp knives, they cut through the bones.
It was now!
Qin Yu leapt up like a big fish freeing himself from a net. But at this time, his complexion changed. A delicate fist appeared in his line of sight. But, he couldnât avoid it otherwise he would lose his chance to escape.
âAhh!â
With a loud roar, Qin Yuâs bones thundered within his body. His figure grew several inches as he raised his hand and punched out in response.
Bang â
There was a heaven-shaking ring like two stars colliding. Qin Yuâs entire arm began to crack and pop as the bones in it were broken into numerous pieces. He spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, like a bag of sand he was sent flying away, instantly pushed out of the bone cage.
The moment that bone cage sealed itself back up, Qin Yu could see the master of that fist. She appeared small and petite as she stood amongst the numerous tall and mighty soldiers. Her pitch black eyes were cold and without fluctuations.
Before Qin Yuâs body hit the ground, he roared out loud, âUndying, letâs go!â
Hum â
Space warped around him and surrounded him before he vanished from sight.
Within the bone age, all of the soldiers were divided into two. The place they had originally been wildly rushing towards was now bare.
Lan Ruo revealed a look of disappointment. Had he died? It seemed she would have no chance to unravel this puzzle in her heart.
She turned and lightly said, âGrand Marshal, letâs leave.â
She could naturally see that Shangguan Mingjing was purposefully staying here. He wanted to borrow the strength of the Great Zhou Army to kill this mysterious powerhouse.
Lan Ruo didnât hope for him to die but she wouldnât interfere in the Grand Marshalâs decision. In comparison to her curiosity, the interests of the Immortal Sect were far more important.
â¦
Source of Disaster, in a cave beneath the ground.
Several specter skeletons were scattered along the ground. Their bones were covered with a dark gray light, causing them to be unable to revive and die here.
Undying stood at the cave entrance. He held his hands against his back and âlookedâ up at the bright skies outside. Although he was silent, one could sense the surging emotions in his heart.
Deep within the cave, Qin Yu let out a long breath. His eyes flashed with a sharp light. He gripped his fists. Although he felt a bit sore, he couldnât help but nod in satisfaction.
The Demon Bodyâs regenerative powers were incomparably potent. When combined with the enhancing abilities of the paths of water and wood, broken bones couldnât be considered anything. In at most one or two days, his broken arm would be as good as new.
âMaster, youâre awake.â Undying turned around and cupped a hand across his chest before bowing, âI must apologize to master.â
Qin Yuâs smile stiffened. His eyes twitched several times. âDonât tell me you already had the energy to open up the bone cage from the start?â
Undying simply nodded.
Qin Yuâs field of vision flashed black and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. He had almost died because of this scoundrel! That little girlâs two fists had nearly killed him! He had barely managed to survive after suffering for such a long time, and all of this was thanks to Undying.
After taking several deep breaths and suppressing the fires in his heart, Qin Yu clenched his teeth and said, âYou had better explain yourself!â
Undying straightened himself. His calm voice seemed to contain the vicissitudes and feelings of time. âMaster, I have restored my memoriesâ¦at the very least, a major part of them.â
Qin Yu was startled. He furrowed his eyebrows. âAnd this is related to the bone cage?â
Undying nodded and shook his head. âIt is only an introduction.â He stomped his feet and pointed to the skies outside the cave.
Qin Yu sucked in a breath of cold air. âThe Source of Disaster is related to you?â
A hundred million years ago the land of exile had been a truly prosperous land of cultivation with powerhouses as common as rain. Compared to the current Land of Divinity and Demons, it was an even more dazzling sight to behold.
But one day, catastrophe arrived to this land. Life withered away and the powerhouses died for no reason. As for what the specific reasons for this were, it was impossible to figure out or verify it anymore.
The final origin of the catastrophe was sealed away. Only a small number of influences still had knowledge about it. They called it the Source of Disaster!
Within the jade slip that the Grand Marshal had given him, the information was sparse and simple. But the little bit of information was enough to express the great terrors hidden within.
Undyingâs origin was mysterious and his various methods were strange and unpredictable. Even though Qin Yu had guessed numerous possibilities, he was still left shaken.
It had to be known that the Source of Disaster was the ultimate culprit responsible for the land of exile no longer being able to recover and falling to its current situation! It had been a place more formidable than the Land of Divinity and Demonsâ¦but those existences that shined like stars in the heavens had perished during that great turbulence.
Seeing Qin Yuâs shocked and speechless expression, Undying calmly nodded. When this simple movement fell into Qin Yuâs eyes, it was like a trillion thunderbolts crashing into his mind, leaving him completely bewildered.
After a long time, Qin Yu was finally able to focus his thoughts. He looked at the calmly waiting Undying and wryly smiled, âI suddenly feel as if I want to hold onto your thighâ¦â
Undying laughed. âMaster, donât you want to know what the story is?â
Qin Yu hurriedly nodded. How ridiculous, anyone would want to know about such an astonishing event.
Undying didnât stop speaking. His gentle voice narrated a story for Qin Yu, one that occurred a long, long time ago.
There were many points that were unclear but Qin Yu could summarize the story as followed: Undyingâs family had adopted an orphan with immense talent. They trained this orphan so that he grew up well. In order to ensure control over the orphan, Undyingâs family placed an extremely formidable spell upon the orphanâs soul using a secret art.
With the spell present, Undyingâs family was completely assured of the loyalty of the orphan. So, they started to entrust him with more and more responsibility, giving him more resources until he eventually became the most dazzling existence amongst the younger generation. Many years later, a great lucky chance appeared. Undyingâs family joined the competition and they sent the orphan to lead the direct descendant juniors in a bid to obtain the lucky chance.
But in reality, the orphanâs talent was far more dreadful than anyone realized. The orphan had long since discovered the existence of the spell that Undyingâs family placed on him, but he had simply been enduring it and not revealing that he knew about it. In the competition for the lucky chance, the orphan unraveled the imprisonment on his soul and killed off all the direct descendant juniors. He also stole a mighty treasure from Undyingâs family.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Undyingâs family rapidly deteriorated until it became a tiny bubble in the endless river of time. The orphan wasnât able to completely control the treasure, so he decided to place it in another world and borrow the long span of years to slowly refine it.
That treasure was named Spectral Disaster. This was the Source of Disaster where Qin Yu currently was. There was a great deal of information in Undyingâs story, so much that it left Qin Yu muddled for a moment. He rubbed his forehead and then raised a finger, âFirst question. What do you mean by âanother worldâ?â
Undying said, âIt is as simple as it sounds. Master doesnât believe that the Calamity Immortal realm is the endpoint of cultivation, right? Or that life only exists here in the universe? Did you forget about when you brought Meimei back from that different world? In fact, you have already come into contact with and been exposed to information about a diverse number of worlds.â
