Chapter 571.1: Empress Timelights Corpse (1/2)

“Parallel spaces.” Lu Yun suddenly understood. He could hear Jing Dichen, the Deaf Prince, and Beicang Xiong and their voices were very close, but he couldn’t see them for the life of him.

The only possible explanation was that they were in parallel spaces.

Just like in the yin and yang tombs, their physical locations overlapped with one another, but they existed in two separate pockets of space.

“Deaf Prince, Beicang Qiong, Dichen!” he called out.

“Stop!” Beicang Qiong shouted in his rough voice. “I think I heard senior brother Lu’s voice just now!”

“I didn’t hear anything?” the Deaf Prince yelled in objection.

“I also heard him.” There was a hint of joy in Jing Dichen’s cool voice. “It’s senior brother Lu, he’s come to save us! Senior brother Lu, where are you?”

“I shouldn’t be very far from you. Just stay where you are, don’t move!” Lu Yun tried transmitting his words, but then realized that while his voice could reach them, his consciousness was completely cut off, making it so that the Deaf Prince couldn’t hear him. The spatial configuration here was very strange. Sound could be transmitted, but vision and the consciousness were obstructed.

“Alright!” Beicang Qiong and Jing Dichen held the agitating Deaf Prince in a death grip and kept him in place.

“What are you two doing! We need to hurry and look for the World Chest! Little Lin, Little Bai, and Little Feng are still inside the monster’s belly!” The Deaf Prince was as loud as ever, his voice betraying his fretfulness.

“Senior brother Lu’s here!” Jing Dichen smacked the back of his head, hard, and grumbled, “Wait for him to get here first!”

“Ah?” The Deaf Prince froze. “Is senior brother Lu really here?”

On the other side, Lu Yun carefully made his way forward, guided by their voices.

Whooooooosh!

The sound of wind abruptly rose in the area, followed by a giant tornado churning his way.

“What the... wind?” Lu Yun froze. Before he could react, the decently powerful tornado engulfed his entire figure. Caught up in the whirlwind, immortal energy seemed to slice into his skin like blades.

“Bloody hell, it’s trying to assimilate me!” He suddenly recalled the humanoid statues. “Were they also done in by these tornados?”

With a thought, hellfire once again blazed up around him and incinerated the almost tangible immortal energy.

Boom!!

With a burst of concentration, he turned his body into a flaming torch of hellfire. The black fire instantly destroyed the fearsome tornado.

“So it turns out that hellfire can burn immortal energy.” Lu Yun sighed gently with relief. “But immortal energy is completely destroyed once burned. There’s nothing of it left behind.”

It’d been a close shave just now. Had he been a second slower, the violent storm would’ve infiltrated his body and turned him into a statue.

“These energy storms are definitely not a natural occurrence!” An awe-inspiring aura came bearing down upon him, but he couldn’t quite figure out where from.
