Chapter 857: A Soybean in a Dream (1/2)
Hummmm.
An enormous flash of sword light streaked through the void and cut down a yin spirit ferreting out of the black hole. Strength at peak empyrean realm deployed perfectly in this moment, shaking the celestial bodies in space.
The gravity from the black hole was so tremendous that even light couldn’t escape from it, but that was nothing for an expert on Xing Chen’s level.
“The things in the black hole are yin spirits alright.” Xing Chen’s eyes darted around and widened in realization. “Ah, yes. During my second visit to Yi’s tomb, Yinglong told me that the cosmos is filled with yin spirits. It looks like I collected all of them the first time around and shoved them into this black hole.
“Then that means I didn’t catch her eye the first time I entered the tomb, and she doesn’t know what’s recently taken place in space.”
Lu Yun had been worrying that something bad might happen as a result of him recalling his replica, but now it seemed that his worries were extraneous.
“I’m guessing that my primary body was severely injured at the time and unable to hold off the yin spirits. That’s why I had Xing Chen keep things under control here so that I could retreat with ease.”
Picking up on what clues remained in the area, Lu Yun deduced what had happened on his first visit.
“I’m not the only one who came by, Changxi paid a visit as well. …and the goddess who lives in the sun! That’s strange, both of them are connate great gods and chaos realm powerhouses. Why did they need rescuing, how was I the one who pulled it off, and why did I reveal my primary body just like that?”
Lu Yun rubbed the back of his head and reached out with both hands. Beams of iridescent starlight burst forth from his body and blasted into the black hole. Devastating ripples traveled back out while the yin spirits inside were churned to pieces.
He then looked back at where his primary body was situated in space and vanished on the spot.
Three breaths after Lu Yun vanished, the black hole shuddered slightly, like it was an enormous face coming to life. Crimson eyes opened to look in the direction where Lu Yun had gone.
……
“You’re back!” The little fox flashed back to her original form upon seeing Xing Chen and darted into his arms.
Lu Yun stowed his primary body in another dimension inside his replica and rubbed his forehead. “You know, you can obviously walk on your own in human form. Why do you like presenting as a fox and tucking yourself into my robes?” He smiled wryly.
“I’m that troublemaker of a woman, No-Good, Bad News Tushan. The greatest femme fatale of the great wilderness!” the little fox declared proudly. “I’m worried that you won’t be able to withstand temptation and cheat on Little Yu if you saw me in human form!”
Lu Yun curled his lip. It’d been ten years since he’d seen Qing Yu, and he really did miss her very much.
“We’ll be able to go back after another ninety years!” A warm smile curved his lips when he thought of his beloved. “Come on, let’s go find White Emperor and see what he’s been up to!”
He vanished upon taking a great stride forward.
……
At the center of the cosmos.
A boundless sea of flames reigned dominant as dreadful connate fire threatened to set the very void aflame.
