Chapter 499: Evolution (2/2)

Art Saint wanted to devour Qin Sheng, but to his dismay, the latter was much more powerful than he was. If they got into a real fight, there was a greater chance that he would be killed.

Under Qin Sheng’s calm and genteel facade was a man with ruthless might.

Failing to suppress his vicious urges, Art Saint had snuck up on Qin Sheng and attacked him just moments ago, but Zither Saint had easily countered him and slammed him into the ground.

“What did you see all those years back that planted such a terrible demonic seed in you?” Qin Sheng frowned deeply. “There was a setup to allow your body to escape and merge with you in order to remove the demonic taint, but the eyes’ viciousness turned out to be greater than yours.”

“I don’t know.” Art Saint shook his head. “I lost control of myself after Yu Ying’s death.”

He grabbed his head, tormented, then unfolded the portrait of the beauty in his hand and stared at the woman portrayed on it.

“You’re the one who got Yu Ying killed. You’d deviated even before that.” Qin Sheng shook his head and shifted his attention back to the ancient tomb.

The eight trigrams had evolved again, reverting back to the four divisions—those referred to not just the four quadrants of the sky or divine beasts. The divine beasts were the divine spirits of the four cardinal directions, born of the four divisions and only one small part of them.

The four divisions combined the cardinal directions, cosmos, and earth in the four directions—north, south, east, and west. They were the amalgamation of four grand influences.

Currently, the pattern of four divisions generated endless power with a reach of ten thousand kilometers across. The four dragon veins dashed madly in circles within. They’d stopped attacking one another, but instead clashed and came together. The four neutral dragon veins thus gain the property of either yin or yang. Even the Ingress Path was pushed away.

Next to the Embittered Bamboo, Lu Yun’s body was bathed in rotating swirls of golden and green light. His feng shui compass had disassembled completely into golden glyphs, intertwining with the light of the Embittered Bamboo.

Bam!!

A crisp collision sounded as the giant boulder beneath Lu Yun’s feet cracked open. Splintering shards of stones flew as the stone was whittled into two sarcophagi.

Qing Long and Feng Xiao retained their consciousness, despite being sealed, and their faces turned a shade darker in reaction. Lu Yun really was going to bury them here!

“Your formation has sealed the crack already, Lu Yun!!” Feng Xiao screamed in panic. “There’s no need to bury the two of us...”

“We’re arcane dao immortals who have come to Azure Province’s rescue, Lu Yun! We’ve done a great deed for this world. Are you not worried about public backlash if you kill us?!”  Qing Long was despairing as well, but kept his calm and attempted to persuade Lu Yun with logic.

“I’ve killed even origin dao immortals. Do you really think I’d worry about you two?” Face impassive, Lu Yun wasted no time in throwing Qing Long and Feng Xiao into their final resting places.

The pattern of the four divisions had disappeared, replaced by an enormous graph of yin and yang.

“Stop!!”

“You court death, Lu Yun!!” The Feng and Qing elites could no longer stay their hands and lunged at Lu Yun.
