Chapter 569: Ghost Town (1/2)

The soul fragment was the same woman whom Jing Huaci had seen at the foot of the silver peak. Instead of Empress Timelight’s soul remnant, she was a mere fake.

Now standing in the grandly lavish Myriad Returns City, she glared at Lu Yun with icy eyes. Though Empress Timelight’s inner demon had severed her connection to the Timelight Tower, she displayed no trace of fear.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Heavy footsteps traveled ever closer; the fearsome crystal giant had already entered Myriad Returns City.

Miao paled slightly. “So it seems something terrifying was born in the tomb while I wasn’t paying attention.”

With a solemn gaze, she observed the giant as she waved her hand and transformed Myriad Returns City into a giant maze. The entire world became a vast expanse of labyrinthine whiteness that swallowed the impostor.

All the same, Lu Yun could still feel her eyes pierce through the many layers of space and fall squarely on him, so much so that he could feel physical pain on his skin.

“I can’t stop this monster. Hurry up and think of a solution!” Miao floated to his side as if out of habit, her fluffy tail winding around his arm like a puffed up balloon.

Lu Yun smacked his forehead. “Aren’t you the Monster Celestial Master? She’s just an impostor and a soul fragment, can’t you bring her to heel?”

The oppressive feeling coming from the giant high above was a little hard for him to bear.

“This is all your fault. Who told you to wake me up?” Miao shot him a scathing glare. “If I’d stayed asleep inside the resurrection formation, it wouldn’t have taken long for me to revive and rule over everything inside this tomb. But you just had to go and wake me up from my dream, so I’ve yet to recover.”

Lu Yun scratched his head, slightly embarrassed. Miao had been a mere true immortal back when she’d woken up, one that couldn’t even take human form.

Though he didn’t understand how she could possibly be here, her current self had certainly reached an unfathomable realm. At the very least, she wasn’t any weaker than the impostor.

“Didn’t you just use the Timelight Tower to reverse time and bring me back from the brink of death?” Lu Yun smiled wryly.

“The tower is Empress Timelight’s treasure. It was the empress herself who saved you,” Miao snapped back, her complexion set in a grimace.

Waves of destruction crashed upon her Myriad Returns City. As an art that could create something from nothing, it wasn’t an exaggeration to label Return to Origin the greatest art of the current age.

However, the crystal monster was so formidable that its strength was infinitely close to the great formation’s limits. More importantly, the soul fragment was still present. For some unfathomable reason, she’d managed to turn Empress Timelight’s soul into an internal demon and take her place, clear evidence of her abilities.

The combination of soul and crystal monster could easily destroy Myriad Returns City.

“Empress Timelight herself? The inner demon?” Lu Yun gasped in shock.

He’d been positive that the Monster Celestial Master had been the one who’d secretly deployed the Timelight Tower’s power, but as it turned out, it was the inner demon!

But at this moment, that very inner demon was a stream of dark light winding around Lu Yun and Jing Huaci, cutting off the impostor from the Timelight Tower.

“Take her with you and leave!” Lu Yun suddenly opened his eyes wide and handed Jing Huaci to Miao.

“You want me to take the little dragon away? What about you then?” Miao blinked.
