Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

The two may seem similar, but in reality there is a huge difference: the former is happy because of the rescue, while the latter is happy because their own things were not destroyed.

"You brought me the fire; this is the will of Heaven!"

The old man grew increasingly agitated, and Qin Yu began to suspect him; this guy's purpose was definitely not simple.

"I have come here on the orders of the tenth Fire King to uncover the secrets of the Blackfire Kingdom and to bring about its ultimate demise..."

"No! That idiot! The Blackfire Kingdom is mine!"

Qin Yu became alert, raising his sword and aiming it at the old man. The old man had just said that the Blackfire Kingdom belonged to him, so his identity must be extraordinary.

"..."

Realizing he had let something slip in his excitement, the old man fell silent again. Qin Yu slowly walked towards him, sword in hand, and pressed, "Who exactly are you?"

The old man took a step back, realizing he could no longer fool Qin Yu, and decided to give up the pretense. He laughed loudly, then glared at Qin Yu and declared, "I am the master of the Blackfire Kingdom! The king of the Blackfire Kingdom! The eternal king!!!"

boom!

The entire Library of Ashes began to tremble, and books fell from the shelves, crashing down onto the bottom floor where Qin Yu and his companions were.

"You are the twenty-second Fire King, the traitor."

The Blackfire Kingdom's current state is inextricably linked to the 22nd Fire King, who betrayed all his predecessors, heeded the words of an evil god, and attempted to become the eternal king of the Blackfire Kingdom, ultimately leading to its destruction.

"No, those fire kings are the traitors. I am the true king, and the people of the Blackfire Kingdom should submit to me forever!"

The old man, who had previously appeared sickly and weak, gradually revealed his true form, transforming into a black king over 3 meters tall and fully armed.

"Poor souls, blinded by power and eternity..."

Qin Yu raised the Blood Thorn, intending to fight this traitor.

"Hand over the flame, you from another world! This world has nothing to do with you!"

The Fire King swung his giant hammer at Qin Yu, but Qin Yu leaped aside, stepped onto the hammer, and ran along it towards the Fire King.

Ding bang!

The Blood Thorns couldn't break through the Fire King's defenses at all. The Fire King laughed loudly, "Hahaha, how could you possibly defeat me without even a Heavenly Fate Treasure!"

Boom!

Another wave of attacks came, and books and bricks from the Ash Library fell one after another, causing the ground to tremble. Qin Yu could only dodge.

The strength of a ninth-tier fire king is not something anyone can easily handle. Unless other variables arise, Qin Yu can only hold out until the countdown ends...

Chapter 180 Passing on the Torch

With half an hour left, Qin Yu didn't think he could hold out until he was forced to quit; he had to do something.

However, in the current situation, Qin Yu has no decisive factor that can kill the Fire King.

"Noble Phantasm of Destiny..."

The only thing Qin Yu could think of was the Fated Treasure. Any creature that reaches the seventh rank is qualified to awaken its own Fated Treasure, but there is no specific way to awaken it. Everyone's awakening method is different, and there is no pattern to it.

In his previous life, Qin Yu inherited the Black Night's destiny artifact, Black Heaven, but he didn't awaken his own destiny artifact. Now, he can't summon Black Night to help him, as this space no longer allows anyone else to enter.

"Hand over the fire!"

The Fire King unleashed a powerful attack, and Qin Yu raised the Blood Thorn to block. He had already used up all his uses of Shadow Step, and in the current environment, it was difficult for Qin Yu to dodge anymore. He could only withstand the Fire King's attack head-on.

Are you worthy?

Qin Yu bravely deflected the Fire King's attack, but the Fire King immediately followed up with another blow, causing the library to collapse once again due to the immense destruction. Qin Yu not only had to dodge the Fire King's attacks, but also the constantly falling debris and books.

Outside the Library of Ashes, the scattered ashes suddenly gathered again, and a swordsman clad in jet-black armor appeared, wielding a heavy sword in one hand and carrying it on his shoulder. Click, click, click, he stepped onto the steps of the Library of Ashes and arrived at the gate, the place he had longed for.

With a swift movement of the sword, a loud crash was heard as the door was blasted open and crashed to the bottom of the spiral staircase.

The enormous Fire King was directly smashed by the two large iron gates, and Qin Yu narrowly avoided the sudden falling debris.

"Who?"

The main gate has been knocked down. Could it be that someone has entered the Library of Ashes?

Above, the swordsman leaped down, and the Fire King looked up to see a blunt, heavy sword crashing down on him.

Boom!

The immense impact forced the Fire King to retreat and kneel down, allowing Qin Yu to clearly see the figure of that person.

"A heavy sword has no edge..." That heavy sword was the best description of that swordsman. It wasn't an expensive sword, just an ordinary heavy sword.

He fought alongside this swordsman until he barely managed to advance to a rare quality, becoming the pseudo-divine treasure of the Flame Sword Saint. Its most unique feature is that this heavy sword is not sharp.

"The Sword Saint of the Flame..."

The Fire King naturally recognized the swordsman, the one who stole his fire and became his enemy.

The Sword Saint of Fire didn't say a word, but silently raised his sword towards the Fire King, who was once a citizen of their Blackfire Kingdom.

"You think the two of you combined can stand against me? Dream on!"

The collapse of the Library of Ashes continued, and the Fire King's attacks grew increasingly fierce. This time, the Fire Sword Saint blocked the Fire King's main attacks for Qin Yu, while Qin Yu took charge of the main offensive.

The two worked together seamlessly, and Qin Yu's observation of the Blazing Sword Saint's swordsmanship confirmed Hei Ye's assessment of him.

Hei Ye once told Qin Yu that the Sword Saint of the Flame was both ordinary and exquisite in his swordsmanship, and that simplicity and unpretentiousness were the best descriptions of his swordsmanship.

"I never wanted to be the savior of the world, but when this fate fell upon me, I had no choice. Fighting with a mortal body until now, I have never thought of gaining anything. I only want to save the world I live in, even if it means becoming the spark that ignites it..."

A deep voice echoed in Qin Yu's mind, and Qin Yu was certain that it was the voice of the Fire Sword Saint.

"I am the king of this world! The eternal king! Why should I sacrifice my life to prolong this world! I am destined to be the eternal king of this world! Not a sacrifice!"

The Fire King roared, a stark contrast to the silent Fire Sword Saint, whose greatsword clashed with the giant hammer, unleashing a tremendous impact.

As the rubble fell, the Fire King caught the debris head-on, while the Fire Sword Saint rolled away to avoid it. The battle between the two did not stop there.

With ten minutes left, Qin Yu didn't know if the final condition of this hidden mission was to defeat the Fire King. If so, he would have no choice but to go all out.

Qin Yu put away the Blood Thorns and attempted to summon his Destiny Treasure.

The Fire Sword Saint seemed to have noticed Qin Yu's actions and did his best to hold off the Fire King.

"A Noble Phantasm born from the power of the Destroyer, heed my call..."

In the void, the observer of the world finally received Qin Yu's call, and his sword disappeared and went to the space where Qin Yu was.

Whoosh!

A white glow and azure magic array swirled around Qin Yu. The battle between the Fire King and the Fire Sword Saint had ceased, and their gazes were now fixed on Qin Yu.

"That is... a divinely ordained treasure..."

The Fire King couldn't believe that Qin Yu could actually summon a Heavenly Fate Treasure. This was several times stronger than the pseudo-Heavenly Fate Treasure of the Fire Sword Saint, and he had to stop him.

The Fire King, who possessed the power to control the Blackfire Kingdom, began to gather the surrounding ashes, preparing to launch a fatal attack on Qin Yu and perish together with him.

The Sword Saint of Fire tried to stop him, but the Fire King had gone mad and wanted to drag him and the others down with him.

The body of the Sword Saint of the Flame is also a part of this world. His body is dissipating. "Qin Yu, please accept my inheritance. My swordsmanship is not as good as your master's. I only hope to help you get out of your current predicament."

Like the Night in his previous life, the Fire Sword Saint entrusted his power to Qin Yu. He was not a chosen swordsman like the Night, but just an ordinary swordsman who had fought his way up.

"Feel the power of the laws of nature, my master." The voice of the World Observer echoed in Qin Yu's ears.

Qin Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils turning a deep blue, and his pupils becoming complex textured structures. In front of him appeared a sword that matched the color of his pupils, its blade resembling a futuristic sci-fi sword, exuding a strong sense of technology.

Wherever his pupils swept, it was as if the world had frozen. Qin Yu was in a digital space where everything had been analyzed, and he seemed to have become the embodiment of the system.

With three minutes remaining in the final countdown, the Blackfire Kingdom enters its darkest hour, about to fall into eternal slumber.

This scene is strikingly similar to the real world I experienced in my previous life when I was invaded by an evil god.

"When the world plunges into its darkest hour, when those chosen by fate fail to step forward, I will become the flame that ignites the world, illuminating it and passing on hope—the burning hope that sustains all life..."

Qin Yu's weapon transformed into a greatsword. The digital space vanished, and the Fire King's attack was imminent. Qin Yu raised his greatsword and clashed with the Fire King, causing the two opposing spaces to tear apart. In the collapsing world, only these two remained fighting.

The fire seed bottle in Qin Yu's arms shattered, and the fire seed completely merged into Qin Yu's Destiny Treasure. In the darkest world, countless points of light suddenly appeared. These were the fire seeds left behind by other fire kings who had burned themselves. They began to converge on Qin Yu's Destiny Treasure.

The phantom of the Fire Sword Saint and the phantoms of the twenty-one Fire Kings launched a final attack on the traitor.

"No! I am the Fire King! Only I am qualified to possess the fire!"

"Do you even deserve it?"

In the final minute of the countdown, the Blackfire Kingdom, about to reach zero, ignited with blazing flames, illuminating this world on the verge of destruction...

The symbolism of the blood moon

Chapter 181 The Observer of the World

The Blackfire Kingdom was completely destroyed, but their flames were preserved and became the source of Qin Yu's power.

"My master, you can wake up now..."

Qin Yu, who was unconscious, heard this sound

After Yin finished speaking, he woke up. The surrounding space seemed so unfamiliar. He only remembered that he had made a final, desperate attack on the Fire King. The impact of the attack was so great that even Qin Yu himself could not stop it, and he immediately fainted. After that, he remembered nothing.

"Where is this place?"

Qin Yu asked.

"It's my space."

The voice answered Qin Yu's question, but Qin Yu could not find the source of the voice.

"who are you?"

"Master, your destined treasure."

"what?"

Qin Yu was somewhat surprised by this answer. Could his own Destiny Treasure really talk?

After a long time, countless symbols resembling numbers condensed in the space in front of Qin Yu, forming the figure of a girl. Her appearance was that of a loli, and she resembled Yin Feixue. She struck a chord with Qin Yu in every way, as if this girl had read Qin Yu's mind.

The white-haired, blue-eyed loli girl has no coverings, but no private parts are exposed, or rather, none at all. She has a completely healthy body. As everyone knows, as long as the private parts of a beautiful girl are not drawn, it is not considered R18.

"I am the observer of the world, and also your destined treasure, Master."
