Chapter 469 – The Golden Soul of Nothingness

The spider’s two rows of eyes began to shine, like suns that were going into supernova. The imprisoning strength that vanished reappeared once more, suppressing Qin Yu’s divine sense onto the scales so that he couldn’t move anymore. But, this didn’t stop him from witnessing the heaven-quaking collision that occurred right after.

He only saw the spider lift up a leg and then stab it into the sea, like a spear cast down from the highest heavens by gods and demons. It crashed into the crack in the sea created by the dragon’s roar, tightly suppressing it. At this moment, the world fell silent. All fluctuations instantly vanished. Time, space, light, darkness…all of it seemed to lose meaning.

It was like a breath of time passed, but also an incomparably long samsara. Then, this silence shattered and the sea’s surface exploded. Endless sea water shot up into the skies, revealing the pitch black seabed beneath.

Every drop of sea water contained an annihilating strength. They fired into all directions, smashing apart everything in their way. This coastline had withstood trillions of years of erosion from wild waves, but now it was as fragile as tofu. It was instantly torn apart and destroyed.

With just one wave, over a thousand miles of earth collapsed, filling in with water and becoming a part of the sea. Soon after that there was a second and third wave. The raging sea water crashed and howled, constantly surging towards land.

5000 miles.

10,000 miles!

30,000 miles!

100,000 miles!

Once the waves gradually subsided, the sea had extended a full 100,000 miles into land, causing all of it to become the domain of water.

The spider’s eight massive legs supported its body, lifting it above the sea water. No matter how much the sea water crashed into it, it didn’t shake at all. It stared at the giant purple dragon, its rows of eyes filled with an ice cold killing intent. It roared, its voice like a million peals of thunder as it opened its mouth and spat out a black web.

This net was inconceivably large. It spread over the entirety of heavens. There were small lines on the surface of the web that flowed with black light as it shrouded the giant purple dragon.

The giant purple dragon lifted its sharp claws. But at this time, the waves that surged into the distance suddenly broke apart in the middle and a terrifying tentacle drilled out, so large that it seemed that it could twist apart stars.

Rah –

With a deep roar, the purple dragon split into two. One shot up into the sky and welcomed the black web and the other turned around and rushed deep into the sea.

From the moment the fierce battles began, they entered into a superheated state of life or death. The purple dragon fell into the black web and recklessly slashed at it, tearing apart countless threads. However, the threads instantly repaired themselves.

Deep in the sea, the battle was far more frigid and brutal. A giant octopus with hundreds of terrifying tentacles tied down the purple dragon and both of them wrestled in the sea. The waters that had just subsided began to seethe and boil once more.

Qin Yu’s divine sense was locked onto the surface of the spider’s scale. With the speed of its movements, he wasn’t able to see the entire battlefield. But, he occasionally managed to catch glimpses of the purple dragon. Even though it had split into two, it didn’t seem to have fallen into a disadvantage at all.

But this balance didn’t last much longer. The figure of a fourth giant beast appeared in the skies. If the white eagle that had been killed and eaten by the spider could be compared to the legendary roc, then this bird up above was as vast and limitless as the sea of stars.

From a purely visual observation, its body size was even more terrifying than the spider that Qin Yu stood on. Its wings extended into the distance, so far that he couldn’t see their end. Its golden eyes peered out from the clouds above, locking onto the giant purple dragon.

The giant spider that was controlling the web and fighting with the purple dragon suddenly revealed a trace of fear in its rows of eyes. It pulled up its legs and fell backwards, withdrawing far away.

The giant octopus in the deep sea also emitted an angry roar. It seemed to have some sort of existing hatred of this terrifying bird.

But whether it was the spider or octopus, they couldn’t make the bird’s eyes move at all. The bird locked onto the purple dragon, its gaze gradually turning burning hot.

Rah –

The two purple dragons roared in unison. Their voices were filled with anger and unwillingness. It clearly knew that with its strength it couldn’t resist three peak existences that stood at the pinnacle of the food chain.

This attempt had once again failed.

It could no longer wait. Otherwise, if too much time passed the fourth giant beast would arrive, and at that time its chances of escaping would fall dramatically.

Bang –

Bang –

The two purple dragons exploded at the same time. As their bodies tumbled in the air, the bits and pieces wriggled about, transforming into small and large little purple dragons that howled out in all directions.

The black web shattered and two of the giant octopus’ tentacles blew apart. But even so, joy lit up the eyes of the spider and octopus. They opened their large mouths and countless little purple dragons fell into them.

This was because today, the reason they hunted this purple dragon with all their strength was all for this moment. The giant bird that flew above their heads didn’t join in this competition. Its sun-like eyes locked onto the vast sea as it searched for its own goal.

The giant bird was confident that with its divine eyes it wouldn’t allow its prey to escape. But as time passed, it didn’t obtain any harvests. On the other hand the octopus and spider swallowed up a massive number of purple dragons and their auras became increasingly terrifying. It was clear they had obtained substantial benefits.

With a sharp cry, a transmission of the bird’s undeniable will was sent out. The spider and octopus were feeding at this moment and they roared out together, as if resisting.

The giant bird’s cold eyes immediately erupted with a dazzling divine light. It violently flapped its wings and the deep sea giant octopus was immediately lifted up and sent flying away. Several unfathomably deep wounds appeared on its immense body. Even though its flesh wriggled and rapidly regrew, the blood that spewed out still dyed the sea red.

The spider screamed out loud and lifted two legs, crossing them over its head. In the next instant its body fiercely sank and those two seemingly indestructible legs were severed in half. A large amount of dark yellow mucus flowed out from the wounds. However, this mucus didn’t fall into the sea. Rather, after it came into contact with the air, it rapidly hardened, turning into two new legs.

The spider opened its mouth once more. This time, it didn’t spit out a web. Rather, it spat out a terrifyingly sharp spike formed from countless tiny spikes, aimed directly at the bird’s abdomen.

In the deep sea, the giant octopus’s belly bulged and then collapsed. Following that, a nearly endless amount of violently poisonous black ink shot up into the skies, spreading out all over to cover the great bird.

It was clear that when facing a more powerful existence, these two great beasts had chosen to join forces.

With an angered scream, the bird flapped its wings. Winds and clouds rolled away as strong astral winds arrived from the highest heavens, swirling away all of the black ink. Following that, its sharp claws reached out, grabbing onto the sharp spike spat out by the spider. It violently pulled back.

The spider issued an agonizing cry of pain. A titanic, nest-like organ was pulled out from its body. After that, endless blood gushed out from its mouth. The spider staggered and its eight giant legs rapidly moved as it started to flee into the distance.

Before this, the giant octopus had already started to submerge into the depths of the sea.

The bird roared in anger as it saw that it couldn’t chase after the giant octopus. Golden flames blew out from its eyes, striking the fleeing spider.

Qin Yu’s eyes widened. Looking at the golden flames that rolled his way, fear filled his face. He didn’t doubt that the power of these flames could directly burn away his divine sense into nothing.

The spider sadly screeched as it felt the impending danger. Qin Yu stuffily humphed as he felt his divine sense almost being crushed by the suppressive strength around him. Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a brief moment. The protective halo of light around the spider’s body only lasted for a breath of time before it was directly crushed apart.

Flesh and blood flew out and countless scales tumbled down, shining like fragments of stars in the night sky and crashing into the sea. Qin Yu’s divine sense felt as if it were slashed by sabers as the scale he was standing on was torn off. As he saw the approaching sea level, his eyes revealed fear and alarm. The scale he stood on was attached to a piece of meat; it was like a small island. Once he crashed into the sea, the force of the impact would be enough to grind away his divine sense.

Though there was a bitter expression in Qin Yu’s eyes, he didn’t hesitate at all. He directly activated the power of the soul leading altar. A faint trembling occurred around him.

At this time, a fleeing purple dragon that wasn’t too far away suddenly revealed a look of shock and happiness in its eyes. It fiercely spun around and soared directly towards Qin Yu. When there was still some distance between them, the purple dragon disintegrated, turning into countless souls of nothingness that fled in all directions. One of these souls of nothingness shot straight at Qin Yu!

Qin Yu’s eyes widened. After a brief moment of stunned disbelief, a look of wild joy filled his eyes. He looked at the approaching soul of nothingness and quickly lifted a hand and reached out a finger. A wisp of divine sense flew out, smoothly fusing into the soul of nothingness. Then, in the next moment, a rich golden light erupted from within the soul of nothingness, as if a sun had appeared on the surface of the sea!

Qin Yu sucked in a breath, thinking that this wasn’t something good at all. In the skies above him, there was a heaven-shaking roar of anger. The great bird’s eyes were filled with rage as it violently flapped its wings. Heaven and earth spiritual strength in the air rapidly contracted to a single point, and the core of this point was Qin Yu!

He looked up towards the vault of heaven where the infinitely terrifying and mighty great bird was. Qin Yu’s eyes were full of awe and wonder; this was a level of strength that he was far from reaching. But, there wasn’t much dread on his face. This was because the strength of the soul leading altar had already erupted.

Hum –

The space around Qin Yu’s divine sense began to distort. It completely disregarded the heaven and earth spiritual strength that covered him. Then, he directly vanished.

The soul leading altar’s strength utilized a loophole that existed in the world’s rules. As long as it was within the rules, there was nothing that could stop it. The great bird’s eyes filled with disbelief. It was only after several breaths of time that it responded. The thing that it had chased after with so much difficulty was actually being taken away by something as small and weak as an ant.

A scream of anger spread out over for over a trillion miles and the entire sea region began to seethe and bubble over. Giant waves rose up, reaching into the heavens. All of this signified just how enraged the great bird was at this moment!

Qin Yu’s field of vision distorted and darkened. After his sight was restored once more, he discovered that he had already left that terrifying different world and was currently rapidly shuttling through the sea of stars.

He didn’t even have enough time to feel joy at having escaped from the jaws of death. Qin Yu quickly searched his divine sense and discovered a deeply sleeping soul of nothingness within. It was only then that he relaxed.

He never thought that at the very final moments he would be able to obtain a soul of nothingness. This was truly a heaven-gifted stroke of good fortune.

Moreover, the color of this soul of nothingness was actually a radiant gold.

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed. From the response of the great bird, it wasn’t hard to guess that its goal had been this golden soul of nothingness.

Although he didn’t know what this golden soul of nothingness represented, it was clearly something good. Qin Yu had full faith in the eyesight and judgment of that great bird!

Suddenly, there was a violent shaking all around that woke Qin Yu from his excitement.

There were countless pitch black regions within the sea of stars. They were like the open mouths of monsters; this was something he already knew.

But now, it seemed as if these pitch black regions were very interested in him, as if they wanted to swallow him whole.

When the strength that wrapped around him trembled, that was due to the swallowing strength emitted by those pitch black regions.

Although he had successfully broken free, Qin Yu discovered that his speed forward had slowed significantly. It was clear that in order to resist the swallowing strength from those pitch black star regions, the protective strength that wrapped around him had suffered losses.

The golden soul of nothingness!

Qin Yu revealed a dignified expression. When he traveled here everything had gone smoothly. If there was a sudden change now, it could only be because of this thing.

Just what was this soul of nothingness? It could even cause the starry skies to develop an interest in him?

Qin Yu took a deep breath and suppressed these thoughts. The most critical issue right now was that on his journey back, there were still more pitch black star regions.

With once swallowing attempt, the speed of the strength that wrapped around him had slowed down. If this happened multiple times, it might even exhaust the strength of the soul leading altar.

The consequences of that were evident!

As soon as this thought appeared, Qin Yu clenched his teeth. It was only with an enormous stroke of luck that he managed to obtain this golden soul of nothingness. He wouldn’t give up on it so easily.

Unless it was the final moment, he wouldn’t let go.

Reality proved that Qin Yu’s worries weren’t for nothing. On the journey back, whenever he approached a pitch black star region it would release a swallowing strength towards the golden soul of nothingness.

Luckily, they were extremely far away. Even though the soul leading altar’s strength trembled the entire time, it eventually managed to free itself.

Whoosh –

His divine sense entered into a multi-colored rainbow channel. Qin Yu’s heart relaxed. It was only at this moment that he knew he was safe.

Soon he would return to the Land of Divinity and Demons!

The ancient blue soul leading altar violently trembled. Cracks started to appear on its surface; it was clear that it had almost used up all of its strength.

Kacha –

With a light cracking sound, a chain reaction occurred. The soul leading altar disintegrated and the 36 soul treasures used to create it all turned into powder.

On the ground, Qin Yu shivered. His eyes flew open and he took great heaving breaths. Joy filled his eyes.

Just a bit, just a bit more and he would have failed. When the rainbow channel shattered, his divine sense had come tumbling out.

If he had only been a little bit slower…only the heavens knew what would have happened!

He flipped his hand and the golden soul of nothingness appeared in his palm. Qin Yu’s lips curved up in a smile. He could no longer suppress his mood and started to laugh into the sky.
