Chapter 787: Old Geezer, Old Antique (1/2)

“Impossible!” shrieked the torch dragon. “You’re just an insignificant, minuscule empyrean immortal! How could you have quietly slipped out of the Ingenium Realm like this?!”

Though the tomb realm manifested by the moat snake had become its own world, it still existed beneath the immortal dao; the Xuan Yuan Slaves wouldn’t have been unable to cultivate otherwise.

An unparalleled powerhouse such as the torch dragon, an entity on par with a primeval human king, could naturally sense the changes in the world outside and feel out the cultivation path of current times. As a result, he’d set foot on the path of cultivation and reached a stunning level of strength under the immortal dao.

Though it was broken, his was complete. In his eyes, empyrean immortals were mere gnats. Even he would have to expend a great deal of effort to thread a way out of the Ingenium Realm.

Therefore, just how was it possible that a puny empyrean immortal had made it out?!

“Is it broken in some way?” grumbled the torch dragon and snaked out a front claw, grabbing the treasure for a close inspection. “It looks fine… or am I actually feeling my age now and forgot to close the door?”

Perplexed, the torch dragon cocked his head and mentally shrugged before smashing the Ingenium Realm onto Lu Yun.

The mighty overlord of hell had just regained his freedom and didn’t have time to do anything before he found himself in the maze again. Inside the treasure, power from the five elements flared at the same time and transformed the pitch-black maze from the first time around into a real world.

Lu Yun looked around wordlessly. Though the environment had changed, all was still the same to him as long as he deployed formula dao through the luopan. Everything he saw was fake.

Though the Ingenium Realm was a real world and independent from the multitudes of other worlds in the universe, everything inside it was fake and comprised of illusions. The real nature of this realm was still an enormous maze.

To be more precise, it was an enormous maze that’d exceeded the limits of a grand influence over heaven and earth and become a world unto itself.

However, the feng shui compass was even greater than the Ingenium Realm. Now that Meng Wang was its treasure spirit and raised its power to new heights, the treasure had evolved to become a tool of formula dao.

When Lu Yun communicated with the luopan through formula dao, he entered a marvelous state that fully deciphered every illusion and all the nooks and crannies of the Ingenium Realm to him.

“If I practice the Dragonsearch Invocation, Dragonshift Method, and Dragonspike Litany with formula dao through the luopan, it’s very possible that I can reach great perfection with them and recreate the legendary Dragonquake Scripture!”

With such thoughts on his mind, Lu Yun steadily made his way out of the Ingenium Realm again.

……

The torch dragon stared dumbly at the human who’d presented himself again, at a loss for what to do.

“This isn’t possible!” shrieked the torch dragon. “That fox trapped me in the Ingenium Realm for three hundred million years! I used three hundred million years to walk out of this thing, but you, you, you—I don’t believe this!”

With a quick flick of his claw, he sent Lu Yun into the Ingenium Realm again. This time, he stared fixedly at the human in the middle of the maze and saw with his own eyes how the young man made his way back out again. None of the various obstacles, formations, illusions, barriers within the treasure seemed to exist for the human; none of it had any effect.
