Chapter 306: Chapter 118 Le Rushen Explodes on the Spot

New Year’s Eve, night.

Qing Yu lay reclined in a chair at the small courtyard beneath Datong Mountain, gazing up at the starry sky while practicing his recent gains.

In his palm, a transparent water orb was undulating slowly.

At times, the water orb morphed into a stream, circling around Qing Yu’s palm, then scattered into ice, with fine snowflakes dancing over the Qingxu Palm. Moments later, the snowflakes regrouped into a snowball which then melted back into the original water orb.

"The transformation between ’Supreme Water’ and ’White Dew Deceives Frost’ is already second nature to me, but I still need to strive for a deeper level of change."

Qing Yu sighed after another cycle of water to ice and back again.

Once he became truly certain of his own intentions, and perhaps due to a psychological effect, Qing Yu’s control over the conversion of Primordial Energy became even more adept and poised.

Such a transformation between ice and water, if attempted in the past, couldn’t have been achieved as seamlessly as now.

In the end, Qing Yu attributed this to the "Mountain Scripture," which manifested his intentions into reality in another form.

After all, the true form Qing Yu had seen in his mind last time was grasping the starry sky and supporting the universe.

"It’s a pity that the evolution of the Four Symbols into the Eight Diagrams is still showing little progress. Even with the ’Circulating Fire Power’ as a reference, I still can’t completely mend it. The ’Circulation of the Six Voids Technique,’ a martial art immensely suited to me, remains just out of reach."

At that moment, it passed midnight. In an instant, time stepped into the new year.

As vibrant fireworks suddenly blossomed in the night sky, the system’s notification sounded: "Host, you’ve obtained one random draw for a Character Card. Would you like to use it?"

"Hmm, let’s use it," Qing Yu responded absentmindedly, caught up in his contemplation when hearing the prompt.

"Random Character Card draw in progress..."

"Ding, congratulations Host, you’ve obtained a three-star villain, Le Rushen."

Name: Le Rushen

Realm: Divine Origin Middle Stage

Items: None

Martial Arts: "Heavenly Mechanism Divination Skill," "Boundless Dreams" (Flawed)

Evaluation: Clear and divine, with deeper Heavenly Mechanism!

"Le Rushen?" Qing Yu came back to his senses and began to rifle through his memory for snippets about Le Rushen upon seeing the Character Card appear in front of him.

This villain character, hailing from a domestically produced TV series where the protagonist loved to cry out "Why did you do this (in a high pitch)?", was the epitome of a deep and ocean-like strategist, as well as a promising righteous hypocrite.

He was an extremely useful character for Qing Yu, as Le Rushen’s proficiency in Yi Skill cultivation would greatly aid Qing Yu. Moreover, he was an easy character to defeat, despite his prominent performance in the original story, nearly emerging as the ultimate winner.

"System, I wish to challenge Le Rushen," Qing Yu declared then and there.

"Inheritance Space, opening..."

With a familiar blur before his eyes, Qing Yu arrived in the vast expanse of the Inheritance Space. Opposite him, Le Rushen, devoid of a turban but with a feather fan in hand, slowly materialized.

"Please, begin your performance." Qing Yu, uncharacteristically, took no preparatory stance and didn’t even draw his sword, raising his hand as he spoke.

"You, youngster!" Le Rushen suddenly snapped the handle of his feather fan with eyes filled with murderous intent

This dismissive attitude infuriated Le Rushen, who at the moment considered himself with Divine Skills greatly accomplished and invincible in the world, making his mentality severely inflated.

Of course, this didn’t exclude the subtle influence of the Power of Thought that was as tender and unnoticeable as the spring wind, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy for Le Rushen, usually such a calculating person, to lose his composure.

Right then, Le Rushen assumed a stance similar to Taiji Boxing, his True Qi cycling black and white, faintly forming a Taiji emblem with strands of electricity crackling within it.

As punishment for offending the future overlord of the world, Le Rushen decided to use the invincible ’Boundless Dreams’ to completely obliterate Qing Yu.

"Yes, that’s it." Qing Yu still hadn’t taken any action, but his eyes revealed an irrepressible amusement.

The clown-like look in Qing Yu’s eyes fueled Le Rushen’s anger even further, propelling his True Qi more urgently.

"Void Eye·Chaotic God." Suddenly, Qing Yu unleashed the Pupil Skill of the Taixu Eye to disrupt Le Rushen’s mind.

This time, the Chaotic God Technique, after being seasoned with the Power of Thought of ’Ten Thousand Paths’, incorporated the ’Mountain Scripture’s ability to depict Heart Dharma.

’Mountain Scripture’ Heart Dharma not only depicted one’s own but also could depict that of others. In simple terms, it was an Illusion Technique.

The original description of the ’Mountain Scripture’ claimed that at its highest level, one could make lotus flowers bloom in winter and sudden frost fall in summer, and even reverse the setting of the evening sun. However, it was only after actually cultivating the ’Mountain Scripture’ that one learned it was all Illusion Technique.

The function of the ’Mountain Scripture’ was to manifest the Dharma in the cultivator’s heart into the external world, to boost martial arts, and to materialize what was contemplated in the heart into reality. (This was based on the Young Master Fang Yingkan’s usage, who employed Illusion Technique)

Back to the point, after being hit by Qing Yu’s Chaotic God Pupil Technique, Le Rushen felt an overwhelming urge to push ’Boundless Dreams’ to its ultimate limit and use its peerless power to turn the impudent youth before him into dust.

Without delving into why this surge of compulsion arose, Le Rushen felt his True Qi spontaneously accelerating, forcing ’Boundless Dreams’ to its maximum potential.

Then, before Le Rushen could feel appalled, he suddenly experienced a severe pain in his chest and instinctively pressed his hand to his left breast.

"How could my ’Boundless Dreams’ possibly..." Before Le Rushen could believe it and stop the rampaging True Qi within him, it was already too much to contain.

At this point, Qing Yu didn’t need to use the Chaotic God Technique to stimulate the flow of True Qi any longer; the runaway ’Boundless Dreams’ couldn’t be halted on will anymore.

’Boundless Dreams’ was the supreme martial art of Le Rushen’s Heavenly Mechanic Sect, and Le Rushen had killed his own master and fellow disciples for it. But his master, Heavenly Mechanic Twenty-Five, had long seen through Le Rushen’s nature and left a trap within ’Boundless Dreams.’

Once ’Boundless Dreams’ was pushed to its limit, the explosive True Qi would tear the cultivator asunder, causing immediate death.

Just like this...

"Bang—"

With a loud explosion, Le Rushen’s body burst, with limbs and head spraying outwards in a grisly spectacle of death.

"You thought the flaw mentioned by the system was a joke."

Having just unlocked the "Eye Killing" achievement, Qing Yu watched as Le Rushen’s resentful head slowly faded away, he commented disdainfully.

This villain had arguably the most tragic death of all, for even without Qing Yu using Chaotic God Technique, a fight with him leading to ’Boundless Dreams’ reaching a critical point would inevitably result in an on-the-spot explosion. Meaning, he was doomed to die no matter what.

After commenting on the fatal ’Boundless Dreams,’ Qing Yu closed his eyes to assimilate the Martial Arts Enlightenment transmitted by the system afterward.
