Chapter 970: Descent Platform (1/2)
The three chaos creatures in the Quiet Realm’s dao palace had escaped. If there were more of their kind in the lower realms, they would be on the alert after this and ready for action, having laid foolproof plans for defense.
They wouldn’t easily admit defeat after losing one of their strongholds. In their eyes, the creatures of the realms were ignorant, bumbling fools to be toyed with at their leisure. They would never bow their heads to pathetic natives!
……
Dustfall Realm was a large realm within the lower worlds that neighbored the Quiet Realm. It was a brand new realm, but with a more complete system since it’d been born earlier than the Quiet Realm. The energy of the realm and its worlds was far stronger and denser than that in the Quiet Realm.
Naturally, that also meant the dead and yin spirits here were more ferocious and found in greater numbers. They were present on almost every star and planet, with most of the celestial bodies gnawed to ravaged husks by the dead spirits. In comparison to its neighbor, Dustfall Realm was more dangerous and there were more scarlet and purple bale spirits to be found here.
Apart from the main world, there were no other places suitable for life in the rest of the realm’s stars and planets. Most beings were struggling for survival in various planetary ruins that dotted the cosmos.
This was a scene of true devastation, a microcosm of the multiverse at large.
After some deduction, Lu Yun discovered that the second dao palace was in this realm and pinpointed it to the wreckage of a broken world. Again it floated over a world that looked to be valiantly defending against the dead spirits thanks to a Great Formation of Myriad Returns.
But since Dustfall Realm’s main world was still intact and in good shape, it’d become the main camp for visitors from the world of immortals. They hadn’t yet explored the realm in depth, which was why the palace remained undiscovered up until now. Or perhaps there were those who’d already found it, but summarily died for their efforts.
Lu Yun was in a new disguise this time, appearing to be a sword immortal in white, flowing robes with a sword strapped to his back. The little fox reverted to her snow-white fur and sat placidly on his shoulder.
The dao palace wasn’t too far from the main world, but Lu Yun didn’t head there directly. Since he’d obtained his dao fruit, he wanted to remain in the lower worlds both to root out the dao palaces and to further train himself.
What he needed most now was trial and tempering. There remained great room for improvement in his combat arts, cultivation methods, cultivation realm, and personal strength.
He chose to land on Dustfall’s main world through the descent protocol as it teetered on the edge of defeat. Likewise, the dao palace had lost numerous experts in various offensives.
The first batch of immortals to visit the lower realms were immortals from the Dao Academy and Nephrite Major. Upon their arrival, they immediately set up descent platforms to stabilize the descent protocol. Future immortals would then appear on this platform when they traveled to this realm.
If something happened to the world or it fell to the dead spirits, the world of immortals could also sense what had happened through the platform. As for the Quiet Realm… the first batch of academy disciples to arrive were immediately deceived and beguiled. They’d died in the dao palace before they had a chance to build a descent platform.
……
“Who goes there?” demanded an immortal when Lu Yun and the little fox walked down from the sparkling platform.
