Chapter 293 How can this blind man compare to the young master?
"Escape?" Ling looked up, coldly staring at the woman, the bone knife in his hand pointing directly at her: "Why don't we try and see who will escape?"
"Then let's try it!" The woman raised her hand and swung her long whip, which cut through the air and struck towards Ling Yi.
Ling Yi dodged the long whip and then attacked the woman. At the same time, a continuous stream of dark shadows fell from the black mist covering the sky.
Seeing this, Wu Wangsheng, who was following Ling Yi, opened his mouth and spat out a beam of lightning. The beam pierced through the bodies of the shadowy figures, and they instantly vanished. However, new shadowy figures soon appeared. Wu Wangsheng was entangled by the shadowy figures and could not break free to help Ling Yi.
Ling Yi and that woman clashed, their figures locked in a fierce battle, neither giving the other a chance to breathe.
"Boom!"
A deafening clap of thunder resounded, followed by hundreds of bolts of lightning. The lightning pierced through the black mist, illuminating the main city. The souls of the dead fled in all directions under the lightning, but Ling Yi and the woman advanced instead of retreating.
Lightning and spiritual light temporarily dispelled the darkness, but it soon returned. Amidst the chaos, Ling Yi's bone knife pierced the woman's body.
“You…” The woman looked up at Ling Yi, meeting the coldness in his eyes, and gave a self-deprecating smile: “Yuan Yi, you’re really ruthless…”
Ling Yi looked at the woman in front of him without the slightest fluctuation in his eyes.
"puff"
Ling Yi drew his bone knife, and the woman's body slowly fell. The black mist that filled the air gathered down and caught the falling woman. The shadowy figures that were fighting with Little Golden Tiger immediately retreated to the woman's side and all looked at Ling Yi.
The woman was caught by the black mist, raised her hand to press the wound on her chest, and looked at Ling Yi with eyes full of hatred: "Why?"
“Why on earth?!”
Why did you betray the Origin Clan?
"What's so good about this world?" The woman waved away the black mist and walked step by step towards Ling Yi: "Didn't the Source Master treat you well?"
"Doesn't the young master treat you well?"
"Have we treated you badly?"
With each step the woman took, a question was uttered, until she stopped in front of Ling Yi. Grabbing Ling Yi's hands, she asked almost frantically, "Why did you betray us?!"
"Because of your betrayal, the Source Master is asleep, the Young Master has lost his mind, and the Eternal Night is in chaos..." The woman looked at Ling Yi, with a continuous stream of black mist overflowing from her chest. As the black mist overflowed, the woman's body gradually became transparent, but she paid no attention to it and just stared intently at Ling Yi: "Tell me, why is that?"
"Speak!" The woman looked at Ling Yi, black tears streaming down her face and dripping to the ground.
Ling Yi looked at her indifferently and did not say anything.
"Fine, fine..." Seeing Ling Yi remain silent, the woman took two steps back, raised her hands to form a hand seal, and the black mist and shadows that filled the surroundings transformed into power and gathered in front of her. The power cluster in the seal continued to grow stronger, and the woman looked at Ling Yi: "You are so heartless, even if your soul is scattered, I will not let you get away with it!"
"Yuan Yi, I hate you!"
As the last sentence fell, the woman transformed into a black ray of light and flew into the power cluster within the seal. The next moment, that massive power burst open.
Amidst the deafening explosions, darkness enveloped the entire main city, seemingly intent on annihilating everything.
The barrier formed by the bone knife was shattered, and Ling Yi was swept away by the immense force. Wu Wangsheng flew over, trying to catch Ling Yi, but the power of the woman's self-destruction was terrifying. Wu Wangsheng was unable to stop her, and the two of them were swept away by the force and flew far away before crashing heavily to the ground.
"Cough cough..." Ling Yi lay on the ground, blood constantly spilling from his mouth. Wu Wangsheng heard Ling Yi's voice, whimpering and trying to get up, but because he was too badly injured, he fell down again as soon as he moved.
"Don't move." Noticing Wu Wangsheng's movement, Ling Yi sheathed his bone knife and said coldly, "I'm fine."
Wu Wangsheng didn't believe it and grumbled twice, "Who is that woman?"
"Where did you provoke her?" Wu Wangsheng, despite his serious injuries, remained calm: "She is far stronger than those divine descendants."
who is it?
Thick black fog still lingered above the main city. Ling Yi looked at the gloomy sky and thought of those hateful eyes, but a lively image completely different from that hateful one appeared in his mind...
"My name is Jiuli, what's yours?"
"Yuan Yi, one day I will become better than you!"
“Jiuli,” Ling Yi suddenly spoke up.
"Huh?" Wu Wangsheng was somewhat bewildered: "What?"
Ling Yi: "Her name."
Wu Wangsheng was somewhat surprised: "You really know her?"
"Why would you kill her if you knew her?" Even though he couldn't beat her, he was killed by Ling Yi instead.
"I don't know." Ling Yi stood up from the ground and walked to Wu Wangsheng's side: "Shrink."
As promised, Wu Wangsheng shrank in size. Ling Yi scooped up the shrunken Wu Wangsheng, placed him on his shoulder, and headed towards the main city.
As they walked to a certain spot, a hazy gray shadow drifted by. Ling Yi lowered her eyes, continued walking, and the figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
The Eternal City was destroyed and no one came to rebuild it. Many years later, darkness descended once more. A gray cloud flew out from the ruins, struggled through the darkness with all its might, saw the huge wheel floating in the air, and rushed towards it.
The darkness dissipated in an instant, and the scene returned to the Chu family's residence.
When Chu Tianyue turned eleven, the once-in-a-decade sacrificial ceremony was held. No one knew the origin of the wheel; all that was known was that it had appeared on Mount Eternal long ago.
After the sacrificial ceremony, the wheel bestows a brief blessing, which is to prolong life. Therefore, many people travel from afar to participate in the sacrificial ceremony every year.
When Chu Tianyue was eleven years old, during a grand sacrificial ceremony, a gray shadow flew out of the roulette wheel and entered Chu Tianyue's mind, who was standing in the front row.
Chu Tianyue saw everything that had happened in the past. She didn't know about the restart; she simply thought it was her past life and that it was because God had taken pity on her for having divine blood that she was able to remember it.
But how could she, a descendant of a god who hadn't even left the Eternal Heaven, know about the Wheel of Fortune?
Chu Tianyue cannot, but Jiuli can.
In the battle at the Eternal Heavenly City, Jiuli sacrificed himself to severely injure Ling Yi, but due to the protection he had, a wisp of soul power was left behind. That wisp of soul power was hidden in the soul of Luo Tianyue, the only available candidate in the city. After that, he slept in the city until darkness fell again. Jiuli briefly woke up, realized something was wrong, and used all his restored power to hide in the Time Suppressing Artifact. The Time Suppressing Artifact landed in Mengzhou and fell into a long slumber because of the being imprisoned inside.
Everything happened again after the restart. The Chu family brought back Luo Tianyue. The once-in-a-decade sacrificial ceremony revealed that the soul hidden by Jiuli was none other than Luo Tianyue. Everything was just right, so Jiuli left the roulette wheel and returned to Luo Tianyue's body.
Luo Tianyue thought it was a blessing from heaven, unaware that it was all because of Jiu Li. She thought she was different, but she didn't know that Jiu Li was truly different. Luo Tianyue didn't know Jiu Li existed, but Jiu Li knew everything. She didn't need Luo Tianyue to know about her existence to control Luo Tianyue.
After Jiuli controlled Luo Tianyue to awaken, the first thing he did was to deceive Shi Liu, the spirit of the Time-Suppressing Artifact.
Jiuli made Shi Liu aware of the massacre of Luo Tianyue's family. In front of Shi Liu, Luo Tianyue's only thought was to go back in time and save her family.
If it were Luo Tianyue herself, she wouldn't be able to deceive Shi Liu. However, the one who truly controlled Luo Tianyue was Jiu Li. Although Jiu Li was weak at that time, the Time-Suppressing Artifact was not the real Time-Suppressing Artifact, but a replica. The spirit of the replica also had to suppress the demon spirit, which made both sides very weak. Shi Liu was deceived by Luo Tianyue, who was controlled by Jiu Li, using the modified scene.
After deceiving Shi Liu, Jiu Li's next step was to join forces with him. Luo Tianyue was unaware of the problem with the Time-Suppressing Artifact, but Jiu Li knew that the once-every-ten-year blessing did not grant anything else but the Time-Suppressing Artifact's greatest strength: extending lifespan. Moreover, those who received the blessing were all top-tier cultivators who could not advance any further. This was because Shi Liu needed to suppress the demonic spirits in the space, and he did not have much power at his disposal. If he wanted to completely eliminate the demonic spirits, he needed powerful people to help him deal with them. Unfortunately, no one discovered what Shi Liu needed, which allowed Jiu Li to seize the opportunity.
Jiuli manipulated Luo Tianyue, telling Shi Liu that she possessed divine bloodline and could use it to extract and seal some demonic spirits, then slowly eliminate them.
Because she wasn't very strong, she could only absorb a little at a time. To make absorption easier, she needed to form a bond to facilitate entering the space and extracting the sealed demon spirit.
At this point, Shi Liu and Luo Tianyue formed a pact, and Luo Tianyue gained the right to freely enter the space, while Shi Liu no longer needed to remain asleep and suppress the demon spirit as before.
If it were just Luo Tianyue, she wouldn't even be able to seal the demon spirits, let alone destroy them. But Jiu Li could deal with those things with ease. Shi Liu had some doubts at first, but Jiu Li was too well hidden. Even Luo Tianyue herself didn't know of Jiu Li's existence, so Shi Liu was even less likely to discover it.
All the sealed demonic spirits became nourishment for Jiuli. Before this decade arrived, Jiuli extracted many demonic spirits. As the demonic spirits were extracted, Shi Liu was able to slowly eliminate them. As the number of demonic spirits decreased, Shi Liu was able to leave the space and go to the outside world.
For Shi Liu, having fewer demon spirits is a good thing, as he bestowed blessings to get people to help him deal with them. But for Jiu Li, having fewer demon spirits is a bad thing, as it means she has less nourishment and needs power to recover.
Without the demon spirit, we have to find other things, and that's when we need the help of Shi Liu.
When she agreed to help Shi Liu suppress the demonic spirit, her condition was that Shi Liu help her go back in time and save her family from that massacre.
How touching! He was willing to do anything for his family. It's a pity... that was never what Jiuli wanted. But Shiliu didn't know that he had promised to help Jiuli, and he had to keep his word, since Jiuli had helped him get rid of the demon spirit.
The Time-Suppressing Artifact can manipulate time, but it requires sufficient power. Since Shi Liu, who just resolved the matter of the demon spirit, did not have it, he could only absorb power.
The power to manipulate time cannot be provided by one person; it requires many, many more, at what time?
There is no better time than the once-a-decade sacrificial ceremony, when many people will come to Eternal Mountain, and they will all be highly skilled cultivators. It is the perfect opportunity.
Shi Liu believes that absorbing power is to send Luo Tianyue back.
But in reality, Jiuli wanted to use the flow of time to absorb everyone's power, then take it for himself, thereby recovering some of it, and then expanding the scope of absorption to help himself recover.
Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes. First, Shi Liu inexplicably gained another owner.
Jiuli knew about Shiliu when darkness descended again, and Shiliu had no memory. No matter how powerful Jiuli was, he would never have imagined that Shiliu's master was Ling Yi!
Because of the appearance of the 'Master' of Time Flow, the plan had to be brought forward. When the Master of Time Flow arrived, Jiu Li was not afraid of him at all, but she did not expect that the Master of Time Flow would be Yuan Yi!
Upon seeing Yuan Yi again, Jiu Li felt resentment, but before she could react, Luo Tianyue, who had seen Yuan Yi before, dared to try to absorb Yuan Yi's power, thus attracting Yuan Yi's attention.
Once targeted by Yuan Yi, it's not so easy to escape. In addition, Jiu Li discovered that the Yuan Yi she saw this time was very different from the one she had seen before, so she wanted to take a gamble and wanted Shi Liu to lure Yuan Yi into the space so she could absorb Yuan Yi's power. However, Shi Liu refused no matter what. Jiu Li then wanted to teach Shi Liu a lesson, but unexpectedly, she was stopped by a man with a problem with his eyes. At that moment, Yuan Yi also appeared!
Yuan Yi is different from the past, but there are also similarities. Whether it was when she chased after him in the past or now, Yuan Yi does not remember her or the young master.
Jiuli had died at the hands of Yuan Yi, and even though the current Yuan Yi was very different from the past, Jiuli did not dare to be careless. In addition, there was the man who could stop her attacks. Jiuli did not prove that she could fight Ling Yi, but wanted to use the power of the Time Suppressing Artifact to make the space chaotic, and then use the chaos to launch an attack.
Jiuli had planned it this way, but she didn't expect that Shiliu would fight so hard for control. If it were just Shiliu fighting for control, she could suppress him. But there was another force involved, and Shiliu got help from that force to fight against her. With Shiliu's control, not only did the spatial chaos not occur, but Ling Yi also saw Luo Tianyue's true past and present.
"I've finished reading." Ling Yi looked towards a certain spot in the space and said calmly, "You can appear now."
As soon as Ling finished speaking, Jiuli appeared out of thin air, grabbing Shi Liu.
Ling Yi looked up at Jiu Li, and Jiu Li also looked at Ling Yi, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.
When Jiuli's gaze fell on Ling Yi and Tian Yan holding hands, the killing intent in his eyes intensified, and he smiled sarcastically: "Yuan Yi, you abandon the young master and like a blind man. How can this blind man compare to the young master?"
