Chapter 968: Might of the Monster Spirit Ancestor (1/2)
Boom—
Aftershocks rippled out from a tremendous collision that rocked the local region of space. Any location the ripples passed through was thoroughly cleansed of dead spirits. Teeming masses that filled the cosmos disintegrated into dust and vanished entirely.
On the main world of the Quiet Realm, the faint shadow of a bell flashed across the little fox’s body and casually dispersed the ripples drifting their way.
The cataclysmic collision scared Luan Qi out of her wits and all thought fled her mind. She was just a peerless immortal; the Corpse Refiner had no idea how to react to the devastating ripples flooding in all directions of the void.
……
Crackle…
Hideous cracks appeared on the Dao Palace after Lu Yun’s colossal stroke. Quietus was a chaos treasure and thus superior to all regular connate treasures. Even though Lu Yun was only bringing a hundred millionth of its power to bear, the edge of a chaos treasure wasn’t something that a mere palace could withstand—no matter what kind of backing it came with.
Rich aureate brilliance oozed out from the cracks. Scintillating and spectacular, the light brimmed with the dense power of a star. It was thus apparent that the palace held a giant star inside of it, one more glorious and majestic than any star in the world of immortals. Apart from the dense cosmic energy around it, it seemed to nurture stranger power and rules of… the chaos.
“Ahhhhhhh!!” Ghastly shrieks sounded from the palace when it was split open. If Lu Yun had ever witnessed dismemberment, he would map that anguish to the wails he heard now. They were the agonizing screams of flesh being scraped off the bones of those still living.
Two twinkles of black light flashed through Lu Yun’s eyes to illuminate three strange looking creatures writhing in torment next to the star. He could also see boundless energy from the Quiet Realm furiously flooding into the cracks in the palace to corrode their bodies.
However, the energy of this realm wasn’t strong enough to instantaneously obliterate the three creatures, which further added to their torture.
“ROAR!!!” A furious bellow traveled out of the palace that wasn’t completely shattered. A vicious beast hissing with fire sprang out of the palace, clawing down on Lu Yun’s head.
A connate demon god, or rather, a chaos beast!
Chaos beasts were born of the chaos, which made them existences similar to connate demon gods. But while demon gods were born at the chaos realm, chaos beasts were born at the human king realm. Back in the day, several human kings had hunted down nine chaos beasts in the cosmos to craft a palace for the dragons. That palace had now been repurposed in the new state of affairs in the world of immortals.
That a chaos beast would charge out of the Dao Palace was the last possibility on Lu Yun’s mind. These creatures had gone extinct at the end of the human dao era!
“So it’s creatures of the chaos.” Lu Yun quickly realized what was going on here.
Creatures of the chaos!
They drew upon the star in the palace for their core essence and had built a palace around it so that the laws of the chaos would descend upon the Quiet Realm. Meanwhile, they hid inside the palace and set up their plots for this realm.
The rulers that the darkfuries spoke of were these chaos creatures in the Dao Palace, and the hunting of humans was forbidden not out of consideration for the curse on these abandoned races. When Lu Yun split the palace apart, he’d spied a multitude of human flesh mashed together in a titanic embryo!
He didn’t know what purpose that monstrous embryo served, but he could clearly read the boundless resentment swirling within it. There was no fear intermixed within, just pure and immense resentment. This was only possible if the humans had lived in paradise after their birth and were summarily tortured to death!
This was the real reason why the chaos creatures forbade harming the humans, and why the yin spirits here were likewise under control to not attack the humans. The Quiet Realm was a breeding range of the human race.
The appearance of the ascent and descent protocols had thrown their plans into disarray, forcing them to change their methods and create an enormous mirage in the main world. If it hadn’t been for the little fox accompanying him on this trip, Lu Yun wouldn’t have been able to see through the illusions either. This exerted immense pressure on him. The combat arts, techniques, and supplemental paths wielded by the chaos creatures were far superior to the world of immortals!
……
The chaos beast at the level of the human king realm opened a large mouth that yawned like a black hole. Dominating suction force enveloped Lu Yun, fiercely shaking Quietus as it battled the new enemy. Unfortunately, Lu Yun was as fragile as an eggshell in front of a human king. Even wielding a chaos treasure wasn’t enough for him to defy human king strength.
Ring.
Ring.
Ring.
Waves of enormous bell tolls rang through the cosmos as the infinite space, stars, and starlight gathered together to form an upside down bell. A stunning girl whose beauty could topple cities set foot into the void, approaching them from the light of the descent protocol.
Tushan!
