584: Eight Fates

Buried in earth, drowned in water, burned by fire, frozen by ice, impaled by blades, and even having activated plants extract her Origin, or the Dimension Butterfly reducing her to nothingness.

He tried every method, but Kiy spring Yuyake always revived from death, standing before Yang Dian again.

Looking at Kiy spring Yuyake, who had once again revived from death, Yang Dian raised his hand again:

"You've died seven times already, haven't you?"

"I wonder if you can still revive after this death."

Before his thought finished, a Soul wave rose from Kiy spring Yuyake's body:

"Stop!"

"I'll tell you!"

"But if I tell you, will you let me go?"

As her voice fell, looking at the palm resting steadily on her head, so close that she could feel it with her fine hairs, Kiy spring Yuyake, who had regained control of her body, instinctively took two steps back, her legs giving out as she collapsed to the ground.

Gray-black volcanic ash rolled down onto her snow-white body, leaving streaks of dirt. Coupled with her panicked expression, it made Yang Dian click his tongue in wonder.

'If the sexually repressed crowd back home saw this, wouldn't they directly transform into beasts?'

Since they were described as sexually repressed, it naturally had no effect on Yang Dian.

His self-control had long been honed through countless foot baths, so he naturally wouldn't be tempted by a bit of beauty.

He reached out and clenched, gathering volcanic ash to form a black obsidian longsword.

Casually resting the tip of the longsword against Kiy spring Yuyake's throat, Yang Dian looked into her eyes and spoke calmly:

"Speak."

"If you satisfy me, I'll let you go."

Kiy spring Yuyake took two deep breaths, turned her head, and shuffled back a fist's distance, moving her throat away from the sword tip before speaking:

"The revival ability was only activated when you killed me just now."

As the words left her mouth, a hint of daze appeared in her eyes again.

"When I revived, many pieces of knowledge appeared in my mind."

"However, this knowledge was shattered by the power of death as you killed me repeatedly, and it needs to be re-sorted."

"I only know now that I can revive seven times in a short period."

"If I die an eighth time in a short period, the power of my Origin will be exhausted, and further deaths will lead to eternal oblivion."

"Other information, I can tell you after I've sorted it out."

Yang Dian pushed the longsword forward slightly.

The sword tip broke Kiy spring Yuyake's skin, and a trace of crimson blood seeped from her neck, flowing down to her chest, adding a bloody beauty to this white flower already mired in mud.

Looking at Kiy spring Yuyake, whose skin had been pierced by the sword tip and was now covered in tiny goosebumps due to fear, Yang Dian's tone was devoid of any emotion:

"Since the knowledge and information were shattered due to death."

"Then under the threat of death, will the speed at which you sort out that knowledge become faster?"

Watching Kiy spring Yuyake's pupils suddenly contract, and feeling her rising fear, Yang Dian advanced the longsword in his hand by another half millimeter.

"If you can't provide useful information, then for every minute that passes, I will advance the longsword by half a millimeter."

"Until you remember something useful."

"Or, until you die one more time."

Feeling the cold touch on her neck, Kiy spring Yuyake's fine hairs stood on end.

She closed her eyes in contemplation, as if she was truly starting to think about something.

After nearly a minute, seeing that she had no intention of speaking, Yang Dian casually said:

"One minute, time..."

Just as he was about to say 'up' and push the longsword forward, Yang Dian noticed Kiy spring Yuyake's movement, withdrew his right hand, and quickly stepped back.

Kiy spring Yuyake, who had suddenly lunged forward, missed and fell into the volcanic ash.

"Damn Chinese!"

"I curse..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Yang Dian had already raised the longsword in his hand and struck her head with the flat of the blade.

"Want to die?"

"It's not that easy."

As his voice fell, endless Battle Intent enveloped Kiy spring Yuyake's entire body, making her instinctively stand up and punch at Yang Dian:

"I'm going to kill you!"

Dodging Kiy spring Yuyake's straight punch, Yang Dian raised his hand and snapped his fingers again.

A layer of water mist imperceptibly adhered to Kiy spring Yuyake's eyes.

Due to the refraction effect, Kiy spring Yuyake, who could only perceive Yang Dian's presence with her eyes, began to furiously strike the air beside Yang Dian.

To give Kiy spring Yuyake an even better experience, Yang Dian thoughtfully mixed some volcanic ash with water, creating a non-Newtonian fluid which he placed in front of Kiy spring Yuyake, allowing her to enjoy a full sense of striking pleasure.

After a long while, Kiy spring Yuyake's Battle Intent was completely consumed through Yang Dian's repeated activations.

After fighting for a long time and seeing that her attacks consistently failed to inflict any damage on 'Yang Dian', Kiy spring Yuyake, whose Battle Intent had been burned out, fell backward, wanting to throw herself into the scorching lava.

Casually flicking his finger to divert the lava, Yang Dian looked at Kiy spring Yuyake, who seemed to have completely lost the will to resist, and staring into her eyes, he spoke again:

"Tell me everything you know."

"Also, if I'm not mistaken, you shouldn't be an Awakened, right? If you're not an Awakened, yet possess Transcendent Realm Late Stage combat power, how did you achieve it?"

"With the current resources of the Eastern Island, it shouldn't be possible to support a Cultivator with City-Level destructive power, should it?"

Kiy spring Yuyake, also looking into Yang Dian's eyes, her gaze began to scatter:

"Three months ago, while I was hiding from the Machina's pursuit in a pool at the foot of the Sacred Mountain, I suddenly felt a cold yet fiery Qi."

"By the time I reacted, that Qi had suddenly disappeared, and then my strength began to grow rapidly."

"In a short time, I went from a lower ninja to a heavenly ninja."

"As for the revival ability, I didn't know I possessed this ability before."

"It was only after my first death and revival that I vaguely received some information, learning that this was the ability of an Eight-Level Great God, allowing me to revive seven times in a short period."

"The revival interval is eight days, and I can revive a maximum of seven times in a short period."

"Which means I only need to accumulate eight days to accumulate the energy required for one revival."

"As for more, I don't know."

"What I said earlier about much information appearing in my mind was all a lie."

"I just wanted to live a little longer."

After getting the answer he wanted, Yang Dian unhesitatingly reached out and pressed down on Kiy spring Yuyake.

Kiy spring Yuyake, once again pulverized by Yang Dian, finally did not revive again.

"Revive eight times in a short period?"

"A terrifying ability."

"Too bad, it's one of the Little Devils."

Expressing a hint of regret, Yang Dian tapped his wristband again:

"Zero, dispatch more nano-electronic insects to Mount Fuji for surveillance."

"Although I used the Battle Intent rule in reverse to completely destroy her will, making her answer every question, nothing is absolute."

"I'm not sure if she withheld some memories about her abilities before this."

"So, just in case, you still need to monitor Mount Fuji and even the entire Eastern Island. Once you discover her whereabouts, notify me immediately."

Zero, having received the command, provided timely feedback:

"Understood, Commander. I will keep a close watch on this area."

Yang Dian nodded, then looked at the pillar of lava behind him, which had been erupting for a long time without any sign of stopping, and was even intensifying.

"The speed is still a bit slow."

"Let me lend you a hand..."
