Chapter 565: Zhou Ping Transforms
This gift is too precious.
The soil that can nurture laws is perhaps scarce throughout the world. If other divine realms were to learn of this news, they would likely fight over it. Yet, Nyx has kept it hidden until now, even going so far as to pluck the hair from Merlin to leave it for Lin Qiye…
This is the most precious thing she can give to Lin Qiye.
“Thank you, Mother.”
Lin Qiye stood in silence for a long time, burying all his words of gratitude deep in his heart, and sincerely uttered these few words.
To him, Nyx was no longer just a simple patient; she had truly become his mother. Even though it all began with the simple word “mother,” now, this kind and innocent lie had turned into reality.
Between mother and son, Lin Qiye did not want to express too much gratitude. All of Nyx’s kindness towards him was deeply etched in his heart.
Nyx smiled, her eyes filled with affection.
“Zhou Ping, have you made up your mind?” She turned her head and asked Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping quietly looked at Lin Qiye, and after a moment, nodded.
“I’ve made up my mind. My sword can be lent to you,” he said.
Zhou Ping hesitated primarily because he did not fully trust Nyx. However, when Lin Qiye emerged from his cocoon and heard the conversation between the two, he chose to help Nyx once.
From the preciousness of the soil she gifted Lin Qiye, Zhou Ping could confirm that Nyx truly regarded Lin Qiye as her own child.
Such a pure and great mother deserved his sword.
Lin Qiye looked at the two in confusion. Although he did not know what they had discussed in his absence, it seemed they had reached some sort of agreement…
The details of the agreement were unclear to Lin Qiye, but he believed that Nyx would never betray Zhou Ping.
A Greek creator god and a human sword immortal, even though they had never met before or even heard of each other, they had formed a united front based on their trust in Lin Qiye.
Trust is sometimes such a wondrous thing.
Nyx nodded, lifted her black skirt, and gently bowed to Zhou Ping, “Thank you.”
Zhou Ping took a deep breath and plunged the long sword, “Primal Abyss,” into the ground beneath him. He gripped the hilt tightly, and the clear sword intent in his eyes surged once more.
Ding——!!
The crisp and resonant sound of the sword echoed between heaven and earth, as the rolling sword energy mixed with the laws of the sword surged forth from the void!
These sword energies swirled around Zhou Ping like waves, transforming into a terrifying vortex that poured into the “Primal Abyss” sword in his hand, the raging wind causing his black cloak to flutter wildly.
Sword intent, sword energy, and sword laws all surged madly into the sword.
Lin Qiye saw this scene and shouted against the howling wind, “Sword Saint, what are you going to do?”
Amidst the sword energy storm, Zhou Ping’s figure gradually became blurred as he calmly spoke:
“My body is nearing its limit,
But I can still unleash one more sword,
This sword…
I will seek justice for the Great Xia against Olympus.
I want them to know that this sword… comes from humanity.”
Boom——!!
The sword energy around him surged once more, transforming into a vast ocean of sword energy. Blood mist erupted from Zhou Ping’s body, dissipating into white strands in the air.
His body, amidst the sword energy, resembled an old photograph gradually fading away, quickly diminishing.
His chest became increasingly transparent, his left hand gripping the sword had already vanished, and his head began to blur…
He was about to disappear.
“Lin Qiye, I won’t say goodbye to you. If possible, perhaps we will meet again…
At that time, you may not need to become strong, but I hope you can always be by each other’s side like you are now.
I… am leaving.”
Zhou Ping’s voice gradually weakened, his body nearly completely dissipated. Finally, he turned to look at the woman in the black dress, his eyes radiating bright sword light.
“Nyx, take this sword… and for me, pierce through Olympus.”
Bang——!
The last remnant of his body transformed into strands of white law, dissipating into the air.
Between heaven and earth, there was a profound silence.
Today,
The Great Xia Sword Immortal Zhou Ping…
Transcended amidst the mist.
The last wisp of sword intent rolling between heaven and earth surged into the “Primal Abyss” sword planted in the ground, the sword body emanating a terrifying sword light, violently trembling, as endless killing intent surged forth.
At that moment, Nyx, standing in the pool of blood, stepped forward, reaching out to grasp the last few strands of white law, her eyes bursting with astonishing divine might!
An extreme darkness instantly enveloped her palm.
The strands of white law she grasped twisted desperately but could not escape Nyx’s grip. She murmured, and the dark starry skirt billowed, her hand forcefully pulling back!
The last drifting strand of white law once again coalesced in Nyx’s palm, transforming into a translucent heart like glass, tightly suspended in the air.
This was Zhou Ping’s heart.
Although this heart had stopped beating, pure flowing light still coursed over it, radiating an enchanting brilliance.
Nyx used her other hand to grasp her skirt, pulling hard to tear off a large piece of night.
This piece of night gently covered the exterior of the glass heart, like a fabric without thickness, wrapping it up and completely isolating it from the outside world. The flowing light was concealed in the darkness, not revealing a hint.
The law of darkness sealed this heart completely.
After doing all this, a pale color appeared on Nyx’s face, and the torn skirt did not regenerate.
For her, who was still in a spiritual state, using her power to conceal Zhou Ping’s perception of the sword laws was quite taxing, and this kind of damage to her soul would not heal in just a few years or decades…
But in the end, she still fulfilled her promise.
She held the heart, her expression solemn and grave, and slowly walked up to Lin Qiye.
“Mother, this…”
“I made some deals with your teacher, but rest assured, his soul consciousness has been preserved in this heart and will not dissipate. You will take it back to the Great Xia, and perhaps… someone can restore his life,” Nyx said earnestly.
Lin Qiye extended his hands, carefully accepting the heart and holding it close to his chest.
“Mother, are you leaving too?”
Nyx turned, her eyes quietly gazing in a certain direction, and nodded.
“Yes, the old grievances have come time for reckoning.”
Lin Qiye looked into her eyes, took a deep breath, and a thousand words surged to his lips, but they only transformed into a few simple words:
“Mother, safe travels.”
“Take care of yourself. Once everything is settled, I will come back to find you,” Nyx said, looking at him with a slight smile. Then she turned, drew the sword with a menacing sword intent from the ground, and stepped forward.
The black skirt billowed like a curtain of night, enveloping the entire sky. Nyx, wielding the sword of divine slaying, had flames of vengeance burning fiercely in her eyes…
Dyeing a corner of the eastern night sky a deep crimson.
