Chapter 582: Two Yu Hengluos (1/2)

“What the… the four evil coffins destroyed Witherdew Major?!” Lu Yun realized with a start after Zou Longxiu’s departure. He didn’t know the exact details, but did hear from Canghai Chengkong that a terrifying storm of black lightning had slaughtered all of the immortals in Witherdew overnight.

Canghai Chengkong had remained outside the tomb all this time. With his name written in the Tome of Life and Death, he could contact Lu Yun at any time.

Three days were enough for the world of immortals to be turned completely upside down. After losing all of its immortals, Witherdew Major immediately became fruit ripe for the picking for factions all over the world.

Not only did the courts of the other eight majors, ten lands, four immortal seas, and the four oceans make their moves, but even a few reclusive clans emerged from their territories to lay claim to Witherdew Major.

An era of chaos had well and truly arrived.

Lu Yun wasn’t powerful enough to protect himself under the circumstances. He’d thought that Kui and Xing Chen would be enough to establish his footing in the world, but now he realized how very wrong he was.

Similar to the abrupt emergence of the fur seals with their complete immortal dao, even more powerful factions might suddenly appear on the morrow.

Lu Yun had committed Violetgrave’s earlier words to heart: the corpse puppet wouldn’t dare run rampant even after she regained her freedom. After all, there was no shortage of people who could extinguish her in the world of immortals.

……

“This thing...” Lu Yun picked up the giant water jar laying on the ground.

It was most likely the personal treasure of the demon celestial master, and thus it’d be unwise of him to send it straight to hell. The four celestial masters from the Primordial Era were the epitome of unpredictability.

With the water jar in his arms, Lu Yun took the Path of Ingress to Yuchi Tianhuang.

Bing Xuan and Bing Ling had driven the old fur seal away. When Lu Yun found his Infernum, only ten thousand of Yu’er’s army of corpse divines had survived. That awful fatality rate sent a chill down Lu Yun’s spine. Only ten thousand out of the original hundred thousand soldiers had survived a savage slaughter!

Nevertheless, he allowed the soldiers passage into hell. The power within the realm immediately transformed them into Infernum.

Yu’er, or Xuan Yu, had been the apple of the Black Tortoises’ eye. The primordial divine tribe had been erased, though, while the tribe today had gone into hiding, away from all prying eyes.

“Milord!” Yuchi Tianhuang spoke up. “I sensed the energy of the Skyqilin and Skyturtle Pearls earlier! Both have been claimed by others.”

“I see.” Lu Yun nodded in acknowledgement.

The kunpeng, qilin, turtle, and scarlet ape nests should’ve been destroyed when the yin and yang tombs merged. He hadn’t immediately searched for them because he didn’t have a clue regarding the whereabouts of the pearls, and thus he didn’t know where to start.

He wasn’t at all surprised to hear that the two pearls had been taken in the interim.

“Who took them?” Lu Yun asked after taking a deep breath.
