Refining The Mountains And Rivers Chapter 846
Advertisement
I am the Dao Monarch. I am very strong and I can endure, but right now I am being forced into an embarrassed state!
Can someone tell me where this clown of a puppet, one that is tattered and covered in scars, came from?
Why is it fighting me!
Although the Dao Monarch was puzzled, the terrifying momentum that accompanied the punch caused him to be serious, without any idea of being careless.
He lifted a hand and pressed forward. A monstrous amount of holy light gushed forth, galloping like raging rivers as it descended with crushing power.
No matter who you are, no matter why you are attacking, it is time for you to fall!
The Dao Monarch was enraged. He had painstakingly waited until this day, obtaining the best chip possible to make the greatest comeback! How could all of his plans be ruined by a damned puppet?!
But what the Dao Monarch didn’t know was that the fierce emotions tumbling around in the puppet’s heart were at least ten times, a hundred times greater than his!
How many long, endless years had it been? It had been so long that the puppet’s own consciousness could no longer clearly recall the markings of time. But even if another 100,000 years passed or another million years passed, it would never forget the face of the one across from it.
It was him! He had ruined his Great Dao, reducing him to his current state where he had no choice but to draw support from a puppet body to barely sustain a feeble existence. This hatred was so deep and vast that even if the entire sea was emptied out this enmity would never be scrubbed clean.
And most importantly, that stunned and confused look in the Dao Monarch’s eyes…he actually didn’t remember, hahaha…
This great enemy he had firmly kept imprinted in his mind over the countless years, the enemy he yearned to tear to shreds…this enemy had actually forgotten about his existence!
Dao Monarch! Dao Monarch! You have gone too far!
Rumble rumble –
A wild impact erupted and the black dragon formed from shattered space clashed with the river of holy light. Both sides attacked with hatred and without reservation. Following a fierce collision, the attacks exploded at the same time.
Thus, after the shockwaves slowed down for a moment, they rampaged outwards once again, destroying everything in range.
The Dao Monarch revealed a gloomy expression. He never imagined that a puppet would possess such formidable strength that it would be evenly matched with him.
The Dao Monarch took a deep breath and suppressed the killing intent in his heart. He coldly said, “Who are you? Why do you want to be my enemy?”

Damn it all. The Ancient was currently attempting to take back the strength of the Myriad Dragon Body. He couldn’t allow him to succeed, otherwise all his plans would be for nothing… he couldn’t waste time here.
So, although his question seemed imposing, he suddenly took a step forward. A ripple appeared beneath his foot; he was about to leave immediately.
But at this time the puppet also took a step forward. With a hum, the space fluctuation instantly vanished. The Dao Monarch coughed as the space transmission was forcefully disrupted.
“As I thought, even after so many years, Dao Monarch, your sinister and deceitful personality still hasn’t changed. But I have already fallen for your tricks and eaten a loss; I will never give you another chance to win.” The puppet reared back its head and roared, “I want you to be buried here today!”
To be more accurate, the puppet was referring to who he once was. The true him had died many years ago.
It was just because of his unwillingness that he used this puppet to survive until the present. In the long span of years, there were times when he was occasionally awake for a short period of time. In truth, he once regretted his choice. He thought that he shouldn’t have borrowed the puppet to live on with such dishonor. Rather than suffering for all this time, it would have been better if he had died heroically.
But now, he actually saw the Dao Monarch again. What else was there to say about it? Dragging him down to the yellow springs would be the best possible result!
The Dao Monarch felt even his teeth begin to ache. After all this time of the puppet shouting about being his personal enemy, he finally began to understand why it was so angry. If their places were exchanged, he would probably do the same.
But after living for so many years, he had tricked and killed countless people. Was he supposed to remember every single one? Moreover, the one in front of him was only a puppet – it couldn’t even be considered a whole person!
And in fact, at this moment it wasn’t just the Dao Monarch who felt their teeth aching. There were people feeling even worse off than he was.
For instance, the seven Dark Parliament Senators who were inside the puppet. They originally controlled the puppet but now they were forced to become its human-shaped batteries.
In fact, it was only today they discovered that the puppet the Dark Parliament regarded as its greatest card actually possessed such terrifying energy.

But in truth, after their initial shock they immediately felt regret. If they had a choice, they would rather have never known about this.
This was because the reason the puppet had the strength to fight the Dao Monarch on even terms was that it was crazily extracting their strength. And, this sort of extraction speed far surpassed their limits!
The seven Senators all looked as if they were being electrified. Their bodies shook like screens and their eyes rolled back into their heads as they drooled. Every inch of their bodies groaned with pain!
But did they do anything else? They didn’t.
Not only did they not, but they weren’t able to change their situation. They could only barely maintain their current state.
They had waited for this perfect opportunity to send out their strongest puppet. Their plan was to join forces with Qin Yu to seize the Myriad Dragon Body and then offer it to the altar of darkness. After that, they could all wait around for the fruits of their success.
But when the plot had just begun, why had things taken a detour? And this wasn’t just a small detour; it had taken them directly into a nightmare.
If they could spit, then whether it was the Dao Monarch or the puppet, their faces would be entirely covered with so much saliva there was no way they would be able to wash it clean.
The Dao Monarch took in a deep breath, his expression calming down. Since he couldn’t escape this puppet, he could only destroy it.
With his cultivation boundary, he could naturally see that the reason this puppet was able to fight on par with him was because it was wildly extracting strength from the outside to use for itself.
But it shouldn’t be able to maintain this state for long. If he erupted with his full power, he could cause the puppet to collapse as fast as possible.
He had to be quick! To force this battle to a hasty conclusion!
Bang –
The Dao Monarch’s robes lifted up around him. A vast sea of holy light surged out, flooding the world.
“Come!” Blood red light flashed in the puppet’s eyes. It roared out loud and rushed forward into the dazzling holy light.
Ahhhhhhhhhh!
The seven Senators all screamed out loud within the puppet, but no one could escape what was to come. In fact, deep below the earth, there was another person who kept the same rhythm as them as he also screamed out involuntarily.
Qin Yu felt as if someone had pierced a giant invisible straw deep into his chest and then used strength to suck on it. It was like his entire body was being drawn out!
And, what was even more frightening was that threads of dark energy appeared around him, enveloping him.
This space then started to fluctuate. It was like an open mouth, wanting to swallow him inside!
What is going on here? I’ve gone far away and no one has noticed me, so why am I suddenly being targeted? And in such a cruel and overbearing manner!
It was then he discovered that the source of this terrifying swallowing strength was through his connection to the Senators of the Dark Parliament. This connection had crossed space to exert itself on his body.
Qin Yu immediately felt his forehead ache!
He had originally fooled them into coming over to disrupt the situation so that it would be more convenient for him to take advantage of this opportunity. But why had he suddenly been implicated by them before they even arrived?
Just what kind of opponent had these Dark Parliament people encountered? Even with the strength of their puppet state, they had ended up in such a miserable situation.
Qin Yu’s thoughts turned and he suppressed the thought. He didn’t care what situation they encountered to begin with.
A dark golden light flashed in the depths of his eyes. The black flows of energy around him instantly turned into chains formed of black runes.
He lifted a palm and cut down!
Pa –
Pa –
There was a light sound in the void as the black chains of runes collapsed one after another. The swallowing strength acting on Qin Yu’s body instantly disappeared. As for what to do about those people from the Dark Parliament…Qin Yu believed they would take care of themselves. After all, they were all adults.
He looked up at the battlefield. The twin dragons and the powerhouses who had arrived were summoning all of their power to exterminate the Ancient. They hadn’t noticed him at all.
Qin Yu relaxed. He slowly moved further away.
The two dragons and the group of cultivators were now heartily attacking with everything they had, as if they were tigers hunting down their prey. But from what he could see, they weren’t able to touch the Ancient’s foundation at all.
It was a pity that the Dark Parliament card he had prepared had been discarded before he had been able to make use of it, otherwise things could have been much more interesting.

Thorns of Jade [A Progression Fantasy LitRPG Adventure]
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Solo Leveling meets Chainsaw Man in this fun new LitRPG Series To become the king of Kissen, Noah Hearts trains to become the strongest swordsman in the world. The only problem — he can’t use Aura at all! Everything changes when he’s left for dead in a forest on the Kissen Fields… In a world where horrific creatures known as “demons” terrorize mankind, those who wield the mysterious force known as “aura” are the only ones who can fight them. These fighters call themselves the “Wolves of Haven”, and strive to create a world where demons no longer roam their lands! Though Noah Hearts is an exceptional swordfighter for a young man, his total inability to use aura means he could never hope to defeat the demons! Despite this major setback, he still hopes to become the king of Kissen and create a better world for those in his country! As he walks home from his daily training, his world is shifted upside down when he sees a few familiar faces in his home… This is the first draft of what I want to be a 9 volume series. I'll be editing, rewriting, and releasing the volumes on Amazon once they're finished. I'll admit, I'm finishing chapters in sprints because I want to participate in the writathon (Apr. 2022) so I apologize if there are some issues with the prose. Point them out to me and I'll fix them! Anyway, I have no backlog, but I plan on uploading chapters as I finish them. I don't want to spend weeks re-editing and never publishing like I used to, so I'm just gonna post when it's done. Like I said, this story is my take on a mix between solo leveling and chainsaw man. Specifically, the MC is the only one that can consciously level up (sort of), and the plot is fast paced and emotional just like chainsaw man. There are plenty of other inspirations, like HxH, Jojo, JJK, Cradle, and even FF6, but the first two are the biggest. Basically, if you don't like Shounen stuff, this probably isn't the story for you. Regardless, I hope you all like the story!
