Chapter 556: All For Naught (2/2)

The primordial divine lifted his head and glanced at Lu Yun, then shook his head. “There used to be a so-called great resurrection formation here eons before, but someone took it away a hundred thousand years ago.”

Lu Yun shook. “A resurrection formation… was it perhaps a floating peak?”

“Indeed.” Fengbo nodded.

“Was the Monster Celestial Master the one who created the floating peak?” Lu Yun was positive that the floating peak Fengbo spoke of was the same one he’d obtained from the burial mound underneath Myriad Formation Summit.

The peak itself was a resurrection layout far more sophisticated than the ones he could set up. Something like the floating peak was much beyond him.

A resurrection layout was a formidable grand influence over the world. It was possible for him to create one through various means, aided by the Dragonsearch Invocation, Dragonshift Method, and earthen veins, but that was his limit.

Refining it into a mobile, floating peak was simply impossible. Such a task required skill that could only be described as earthshaking and beyond human reach. His own resurrection layouts could only exist by drawing on earthen veins and couldn’t possibly be shifted.

Fengbo shook his head. “No, the formation predated him. It was already present on the edges of the abyss before us, and there was even a corpse being revived on it.”

Once upon a time, this place had been the underworld, a forbidden land of the world of immortals. Back then, the two worlds had still been separate. As for the Abyss of Divine Burial, peak powerhouses from the ancient era had knowledge of it and the numerous ones that existed now. Fengbo was a divine; back in his time, there’d been an Abyss of Divine Burial where many dead divines were laid to rest.

“Corpse?” Lu Yun’s figure shook once more. “What kind of corpse?”

“The corpse of an imposing man.” Fengbo thought for a moment. “There is a depiction of him in the skies above. With one punch, he carved out a path through the abyss.”

“Is it him? Did he die?!” Lu Yun stared agog.

Fengbo nodded. “He did. Even such a formidable existence ended up dying... In this world, who can live forever? Alright, that’s enough, you should go.”

Fengbo waved them off as his voice fell. The previously bright and spacious hall vanished, replaced by dark and gloomy winds. However, the black shadows within them were also gone.

“Milord!” Yuchi Tianhuang looked at Lu Yun, entreaty in his eyes.

“I know what you’re thinking of. Go, find your Yu’er and bring her to hell. I can make her an Infernum.” Lu Yun nodded.

“Thank you, milord!” Elated, Yuchi Tianhuang bowed respectfully to Lu Yun before taking his leave.

“What a wild goose chase. All that effort for nothing,” Lu Yun sighed and contacted the kui inside hell. “Kui, even Fengbo has a connate treasure on him. Where’s yours?”

“Milord, my connate treasure lies inside my tomb,” the thunder god hastened to reply.

However, Lu Yun didn’t plan on letting it show itself for now. This was a peak origin dao and ingress realm physique trump card. Despite that, it was still no match for the silver scarlet ape, who’d killed it with one punch.

“But my connate treasure, the Thunder God Hammer… the two scarlet apes must have already taken it.” Kui added, a little hesitantly.

After the yin and yang tombs had fused together, Kui quickly found a hapless victim to revive itself, then was subsequently hunted down by the two apes. After escaping to the edge of the tomb, the silver ape had punched a hole through its body.

Kui was different from Fengbo; the latter was the patriarch and leader in truth of the wind divine tribe. The tribe itself had been a major tribe among the divines, thriving and prosperous.

There was only one Kui in the world, a lone, solitary existence. While it was the God of Thunder, its nature was that of a divine beast. Unlike the thunder divines, his godhood was one conferred by the immortal court.

“Alright.” Lu Yun nodded gently. “Forget about it then.”

He didn’t want to antagonize the scarlet apes yet. The golden one was incredibly violent, while the silver one was extremely moody. They’d let him go once, but a second time didn’t seem very likely.

“After the yin and yang realms merged, the nests and tombs of the qilins, turtles, kunpengs, and scarlet apes should’ve all flown out of the abyss and landed somewhere inside the tomb. Beigong Yu, where’s the kunpeng nest?”

“Milord!” Beigong Yu hastened to answer in the middle of troop exercises. “The kunpeng nest has been destroyed, but your servant collected the kunpeng egg… Ah, the Skyqilin Pearl is also back in the qilin nest.”

He hadn’t forgotten Lu Yun’s ultimate goal in the celestial master tomb: to locate the Skyqilin and Skyturtle Pearl.

“Milord, the two pearls should be in the qilin and turtle tombs, respectively.” Beigong Yu hadn’t mentioned it until Lu Yun asked, which made him somewhat apprehensive of his delay.

“Alright.” Lu Yun didn’t blame him. After all, he himself had been completely shellshocked by the Path of Ingress and the projection. “Give the little kunpeng a name, then write that name down on the Tome of Life and Death.”
