Chapter 16 — Dragon Ascension Scroll (1/2)

Origin of chaosfire.

Those three words suddenly flashed in Yun Wu’s mind, but before she could react….. With a whoosh, her consciousness was swept into a queer space.

Caught off guard for a brief moment, she quickly recovered and began to survey her surroundings. Through a blanket of white fog, she saw a magnificent palace. When she was able to see clearly the ancient-looking words carved on the palace’s grand doors, the words caused her to feel a trace of fear.

“Pandemonium Palace?”

The dawn of the world, the beginning of chaos—the world itself had essentially hailed from chaos…

Just what was going on? Why was she here?

Suddenly, an awe-inspiring voice boomed, “Spirit of the dead, you dare trespass the Pandemonium Palace! Impudence!” A dreadful oppressive force rushed forth to repress Yun Wu —who was still utterly confused— and forcibly brought her down to one knee.

She was slightly angered and indignant.

When did she ever trespass? She didn’t even know how she got here, goddammit.

“Who are you? Reveal yourself.” She looked around but saw no one.

“Hmph, I am none other than the General Guardian of Pandemonium Palace—that is to say, I am not someone the likes of an audacious rascal like you are worthy of seeing. I suggest you scurry back to wherever you came from before I lose my patience.”

The oppressive force increased in pressure until it became enough to press her entire body to the ground.

Yun Wu was instantly enraged.

For this ‘General Guardian’ to want her to kneel was already barely acceptable, but now he wanted her prostrate before him too? That was going too far.

She took a breath and clenched her teeth, resisting the oppressive force as she once again stood up straight.

“You… don’t push it. Don’t think you have the right to harass others just because you’re some sort of great general. Even a rabbit, when forced into a corner, can bite.”

“Hmph, you have but not a wisp of your soul left, yet you dare contend with me? You simply don’t know your limits!” The awe-inspiring voice manifested a whip from thin air, and it immediately slashed towards Yun Wu.

Coldness flashed in her eyes. She moved to dodge but was abruptly stunned by the realization that she had been rendered immobile.

Crash! The attack landed and mercilessly struck her feet, sending both of her knees to the ground.

Damn.

She, Yun Wu, had never suffered such grievance before. She gave a cold snort and dragged her body up again.
