Chapter 559: Mysterious Living Thing
“I would still find it wasteful to use it to burn a True G.o.d. It would be considered using a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken!” [1. Butcher’s knife here is ox knife, but I find that butcher’s knife sounds better. This is a bigger knife used to cut bigger meat.]
“It can burn a True G.o.d to death?” Lan Yunzhu’s heart thumped. This was not her being easily startled due to having shallow knowledge; a True G.o.d was a transcendent existence. True G.o.ds were not like G.o.dkings; the t.i.tle of G.o.dking is something that the inhabitants of this world named them. Even a G.o.dking would not necessarily be as strong as a True G.o.d.
A True G.o.d was a real deity. Legend says that they had many unimaginable characteristics and properties.
No one would believe that this lamp before them could burn a True G.o.d to death. If an Immortal Emperor personally took action and used their strongest blow, then maybe that would be able to kill a mythical True G.o.d. Other cultivators, including legendary masters, could not kill a True G.o.d, not even if they had an emperor’s true weapon.
But then again, after having thought about how it was lit using the sky-covering black flames, her doubts were dispelled.
“Using it to burn True G.o.ds to death is very wasteful. The lamp is not a spark to light a fire. Its effects are not limited to this simple application.” Li Qiye replied with a smile.
“Then what will you use it for?” Lan Yunzhu asked since Li Qiye had spent a lot of effort to obtain this lamp.
Li Qiye narrowed his eyes and smilingly said: “I don’t hope to use it in this ‘mortal’ world.”
“In the mortal world?” Lan Yunzhu was very careful and sensitive, so she grabbed onto the key point of the answer. She looked at him and asked: “There are other places outside of this world? h.e.l.l? The Underworld? Or the tenth world?” She couldn’t help but want to find the ultimate answer after recalling a legend. His answer gave birth to too many questions.
There was a particular myth in the nine worlds; there was a tenth world, a world full of legends and fantasies!
However, this was only a legend since no one had proved its existence since the start of time, just like the existence of h.e.l.l. No one knew the answer.
Li Qiye smiled and said: “The tenth world? h.e.l.l?” He shook his head at this point and continued: “I don’t know if they exist. What I meant to say is that there is no need to use this lamp. At least, not in the cultivation world. For instance, places such as the eastern Nether Border or the southern Distant Cloud… But as for the other things… You are overthinking it.”
Lan Yunzhu angrily glared at him then charmingly hummed. She knew that Li Qiye didn’t want to tell her despite knowing something!
She then ignored him and looked back at the huge dark star. At this time, it was no longer covered by the all-encompa.s.sing black flames. However, black flames would still occasionally come out like smoke.
Without the black flames covering it, one could now see its shape.
It was as if this star was made from black lava. There were many cracks that were held together by flowing and burning lava. Lan Yunzhu swept her Heavenly Gaze back and forth over the star and finally found that there was something there.
“There is something in there!” While black lava was flowing on the star, there was one thing at the very end that remained motionless. It was as if this thing was holding the star together.
Despite her numerous attempts of discerning it with her gaze, she couldn’t see it clearly. It could be an object, a coffin, or someone lying there. The only thing she was certain of was that there was indeed something there.
She noticed a movement; although it was slight, she had definitely seen it! Her heart thumped as she took in a cold breath and quickly asked Li Qiye, who was standing next to her: “Did you see that? That thing moved a bit, is it alive?”
A living being was inside a huge dark and evil looking star — how unbelievable.
Could this be something that the dark star incubated, or was it something suppressing the star?
Li Qiye stroked his chin while looking at the dark star with a serious expression.
Lan Yunzhu noticed that Li Qiye didn’t want to say anything, so she mustered all of her strength to look at the dark star some more. She wanted to use her Heaven’s Will Secret Law to empower her gaze and see the true appearance of the thing on the dark star.
