Chapter 484: Bedlam (1/2)

Legends of the shamanic divines had long been lost to history, evidence of their existence purposefully erased. If Xingzi weren’t here, Lu Yun would’ve had trouble identifying the tribe even with access to her memories.

Hence, what people knew about the primordial shamanic race might not even be about the real one, but rumors of the shamanic divines.

What Ruyi said next stupefied Lu Yun even more.

According to her, the shamanic divines were indeed part of the divine race, but eighty thousand years ago, they’d set up corpse coffins to curse their origin race as well as destroyed the divine court.

So the Tombs of Yin and Yang on Levitating Island set up with the corpses of two Exalted divines was their doing as well!

“What’s going on with all this?” A series of possibilities flashed through Lu Yun’s mind as he flew back into Dusk City.

Xing Chen remained where he was, coolly staring down the oncoming bloody light and an imperceptible black flame flickering in his eyes.

“This is... hellfire!!” screamed the shamanic divine within Xing Chen’s body. A crimson shadow rushed back out of Xing Chen to make a hurried escape from Dusk Province.

Swoosh!

Lu Shenhou’s body slowly burned into ashes and dissipated on the wind.

Pah!

Xing Chen threw up a mouthful of dark blood and sagged, wilting visibly. His body had been refined with a shamanic method and the power of shamanic divines was its bane. Lu Shenhou’s attack had greatly injured him in just an instant.

If the power had remained in him just a moment longer, Lu Yun’s replica would’ve disintegrated and reverted back into a Nine Yin Soul-Parting Wood. Then the gig would’ve been horrifyingly up.

What alarmed Lu Yun even more was what the shamanic divine had called out as he escaped: Hellfire!

Traces of hell’s existence had long since been erased by an unknown hand, and even Empress Myrtlestar was oblivious to its existence. However, the shamanic divine knew about hell!

“He can’t be Lu Shenhou!” Lu Yun’s expression grew quite frightful. Like Xing Chen, the shamanic divine wore a soul shroud, one refined from Lu Shenhou’s soul!

……

Hardly a moment had passed from the divine’s emergence to his forced retreat by hellfire. Many didn’t even realize what had just happened, given the lack of time to process events.

Then, Dusk City shook from a series of enormous explosions.

Buildings detonated one by one. Some immortals who’d sealed away their own cultivation were even killed.

Bam!

The city gates burst open and a figure emerged. “What are you waiting for? Charge into the city with me! This land should be ours!”

The newcomer sported violet hair and eyes, and wore an outfit completely of violet with an immortal sword in his hand. It was Zi Chen and he’d announced his arrival by blowing the city gates wide open from the inside!

The cultivators outside paused, then rushed into the city with glee.

“Kill Xing Chen first!” someone yelled. “He was critically injured by Lu Shenhou earlier, this is the perfect time to kill him!”

“Allow me!” roared the Monster Lord. The golden lion lunged at Xing Chen in a flash of golden flame.
