Chapter 546: Star Divinities (1/2)

Lu Yun was at a complete loss for what to do next.

“I’m paying way too high a price to capture this kui.” Dismay and distress crept in.

Advantages went hand-in-hand with disadvantages when returning to hell. For one, he couldn’t advance his cultivation when inside. He could only research the supplemental paths and others, or restore his energy and stamina.

To use it as a means of escape was even less feasible, since he’d return to the outside world at the exact moment he’d gone inside. The same danger would reappear in front of him once more.

“Well, let’s forget about that for now. I need to deal with Kui first. Resurrection!” A bolt of black brilliance shot from his fingertip and sank into Kui, generating an imperceptible ripple that softly shook the creature’s giant frame, whereupon it opened its eyes.

“I’m not dead?” Kui’s muffled and somewhat naive voice sounded out. “No, I did die, but I’ve come back to life! What happened? Where am I?”

The creature scrambled back to its foot and studied the surroundings with its dark golden eyes.

“Are you the reason behind all this?” It immediately spotted the bug that’d tried desecrating its body earlier: Lu Yun. It certainly recalled the human.

Back in Azure Province, it’d been this very youth who’d used the Yi Wood Cleansing Thunder to lure it out of the celestial master tomb. Though Kui had already been a corpse divine back then, it still retained its memories from that time.

“How did you become so powerful?” The aura Lu Yun was currently exuding made it tremble and quake. The human’s strength looked to be at peak origin dao immortal realm, but there was a certain power lingering around him that seemed to depict the will of the entire world.

“Die!” Lu Yun wasted no time in nonsense. Violetgrave in hand, he unleashed a dazzling ray of violet sword radiance.

Swish!

In a flash of dream-like brilliance, Kui’s tremendous frame was instantly split in two.

Death!

Am I dead again? was Kui’s final thought before passing away. All in all, this was its third time experiencing the afterlife.

The first time was its death inside the celestial master tomb during the primordial times. The second time was at the hands of the silver scarlet ape. And this time around, it’d been felled by Lu Yun’s sword, making it three.

But the next moment, its halved body started knitting together, and before long, it stood back up with an expression of confusion.

“I’m alive again? Ah, master! This servant greets the master!”

Thonk!

Kui’s lone leg bent as it knelt to the ground and fearfully kowtowed to the young man floating in the air.

“This servant wasn’t aware of your arrival, master, and made you fall into a trap. Master, please allow me to atone for my sins by killing myself!” Kui’s muffled declaration of contrition spread through hell.

“You want to die a fourth time?” Lu Yun snorted. “Take humanoid form while we talk.”

“At once, at once!” Purple-golden lightning crackled around Kui’s apprehensive figure as it transformed posthaste.

In humanoid shape, Kui was a bulky figure, coming in at ten meters tall and clad in purple-golden immortal armor. A single horn adorned its bald head, and its features lent it a ferocious air.

Its current cultivation level was merely origin dao immortal, comparable to celestial emperors of eld. In contrast, its physique had already reached the ingress realm. But ingress realm body or not, a single blow from the silver scarlet ape had punched a hole through it all the same.

“You died inside the celestial master tomb?” Lu Yun glanced at Kui with a frown.
