Chapter 776: Living Titans (1/2)
Ashu suddenly shuddered and shut his mouth; Lu Yun could see that Ge Long was levying a menacing side glare at the holy king from hell. Though the two were currently in two different worlds, Lu Yun could still feel that Ge Long was looking at Ashu.
“Ge Long, just what did you and Miss Eternal do?” Lu Yun asked curiously.
“Can’t speak of it, can’t speak of it!” Ge Long quickly retracted his glare and shook his head furiously. “It won’t do you any good to learn of that now, sir, and it’ll attract some unnecessary trouble instead.”
Lu Yun rolled his eyes with an enormous sigh. “Which means… I’ll naturally learn of it when I’m strong enough, right?”
“Well, I actually hope you never learn of it, sir.” Ge Long coughed awkwardly.
“Okay then.” Though Lu Yun was curious what the two had once done, he wasn’t so curious that he wanted to seek death.
After setting foot into immortality, he’d become much more reverent of this world. It held many secrets that couldn’t be touched, ones so strong that they’d almost pulverized Ge Long and Carmine Eternal’s souls. Those great taboos were so powerful that the two great heavyweights who weren’t limited by anything could only hunker down in hell for shelter.
……
Ge Long was no longer glaring and Carmine Eternal had seemed to move her eyes from Ashu as well. This afforded enough breathing space for the holy lord to recover some of his composure.
“Some things are best left unasked and unspoken of,” Ashu mumbled and hunched in on himself. “Both of the two great ones looked at me just now… Perhaps when we unintentionally discover certain things or reveal certain things, that’s when certain powerhouses will look at us.”
“You are the strongest holy lord of the underworld with the potential to become a holy king. Do you not count as a powerhouse as well?” the Venerated Sacrosanct Demon Sovereign asked curiously.
“Heh heh heh, even a holy king doesn’t count as a powerhouse, to say nothing of me. As strong as the one who controlled my previous life—wasn’t he pummeled to pieces too?” Ashu quickly changed the topic. “We should head to the yin tomb. Though this yang tomb looks safe, there are many taboos here that we can’t touch.”
Lu Yun and the demon sovereign nodded at the same time, not wanting to further randomly speculate about these topics. In the time before Emperors Fall, those with their level of cultivation were just the tiniest of gnats. After all, even great emperors had perished in that battle.
The final war a hundred years ago in the Primordial Era was called the war of immortals, a conflict in which immortals raised their weapons against each other. But according to various clues and signs, that war had actually been a collective defense against certain entities invading the world of immortals.
Given that, who knew what was the real truth of Emperors Fall in the Primeval Era, a conflict in which great emperors apparently fought each other?
……
“The yin and yang tombs of the Xuan Yuan Tomb are different from those of the celestial master tomb. The ones in the celestial master tomb were two parallel spaces forcefully separated by the seventeenth layer of hell—the skinning hell.
“Though the tombs here are also parallel spaces, they are worlds fostered out of the moat snake’s body. They’re two parallel tomb realms!” Lu Yun took his earlier theories to a deeper level based on what he’d observed earlier.
