Chapter 906: The Reason Behind Pangu’s Death (1/2)

Though Lu Yun was still defending himself against the recoil of the world, he wasn’t actually suffering any tangible harm. His body possessed the same origin as heaven and earth, so that directly weakened the backlash by more than fifty percent. He was actually leveraging heaven’s wrath to refine the five heavenly veins beneath his feet as well, which in return would further improve his Dragonshift Method.

As the recoil slowly faded away, the five veins beneath his feet gradually sank into the ground. A draconic shadow flashed across his body, heralding that his Dragonshift Method had finally reached great perfection.

“I’m just missing the Dragonspike Litany now… If I can nail a heavenly vein with a spike and destroy a formidable faction that reigns supreme, it’ll probably immediately ascend to great perfection!” Lu Yun lifted his head as he spoke and looked in the direction of the world of celestials. He already had a target in mind.

“That’s strange, there’s only these altars in the palace of Pangu’s tomb. Where’s his axe and where’s the great god’s corpse?” Lu Yun stood atop the mother altar and blankly surveyed the surroundings.

The mother altar was located at the highest peak of the palace and the five elemental altars arranged below it. Though he stood on the mother altar, he couldn’t find any trace of the weapon.

Given the departure of the origin divine, however, the five dead Exalted divine spirits were slowly absorbing the mother altar’s energy and beginning to resuscitate.

After giving the matter some thought, Lu Yun split out some of the organs’ strength and directed it to the five elemental altars, sealing them off so that nothing else would disturb the divine spirits’ revival.

“So there were five ancestor gods of the Exalted divine tribe…” Lu Yun scratched his head.

The Exalted divines weren’t the enemy. They would later establish a divine court and etch their divine emperor’s Sacred Origin Runes onto the Dao Flower, helping the immortal dao assimilate divine dao and take another step closer to perfection.

As for the changes in the divine court in the future… it now seemed likely that the origin divine would eventually usurp Exalted divine rule. Their last celestial emperor should be the origin divine Lu Yun had just seen.

……

He was in no rush to locate Pangu’s corpse and weapon after sealing off the five altars. Rather, Lu Yun sat down cross-legged on the mother altar and silently theorized everything about this tomb. His calculations told him that the safest spot in the palace was atop these six altars. If he dared walk down and return to the ground, he was sure to die a nasty death.

“This palace…” he suddenly opened his eyes and looked to the skies. “Worldcarver is outside the palace?”

Lu Yun blinked. The palace was the main structure of Pangu’s tomb. If his weapon was outside the palace, that meant Worldcarver wasn’t actually in the tomb.

“Then where’s the great god’s corpse?” Lu Yun sat dumbly on the altar and looked around at a loss. His calculations told him that the layout of the tomb wasn’t to lay anyone to rest, but to nurture the six altars.

But this was still a tomb at the end of the day, and though its primary purpose was to foster the six altars, there was still a great personal buried inside—Pangu! This was still a magnificent tomb, the foremost tomb of the world!

“Unless…” His face darkening, Lu Yun took a deep breath and slowly opened his hand. A black sapling materialized on it, accompanied by a sea of hellfire that rushed into the ancient tomb. The Sal Tree of Life and Death!

It wasn’t a mirage this time, but the actual tree that the master of hell had summoned from his domain.

……

“Oh my heavens!” The Yin Prince and Yulei yelped at the same time.

“No wonder he can manipulate hellfire, that demonic tree’s fallen into his hands!” The Yin Prince’s voice had shifted so completely that she no longer sounded like a man. Gorgeous eyes bulging with shock, she clapped her hands tightly over her mouth, as if wanting to mute herself through physical force alone.

Off to the side, Yulei was likewise flabbergasted.
