Chapter 984: Karma That Cannot Be Repaid (1/2)
Fuxi had always been most curious about this. If he hadn’t seen for himself that the heritage from the human sacred land of the great wilderness had been passed down, that it had continuously evolved, transformed, and become uncommonly prosperous through the times… he wouldn’t have willingly gone to his death in the chaos.
“By the heritage of the ancestor planet, do you mean this?” Fake Fuxi pointed at the air, eliciting three tiny dragon croons. A dragon with three heads, three tails and twelve feet flashed through the air.
“A chaos dragon!” Lu Yun exclaimed when he saw the figure. “The Dragonquake Scripture! …I know who you are!”
He stared fixedly at the man in front of him who looked just like Fuxi. “You’re the creator of the Dragonquake Scripture. You attached yourself to Holy Emperor Fuxi back when he found the three fragments in the chaos!”
The fake Fuxi knew everything about the real Fuxi, including his past and future, because he’d always been a part of the holy emperor.
“And, you purposefully revealed a chink in your armor to give the game away and lure me into the chaos.” Lu Yun fully grasped the picture at hand after seeing the chaos dragon flash by.
“That’s right, I let my guard slip for a split second so you would search out that tomb.” The fake Fuxi nodded. “But there’s one thing you guessed wrong, I’m just someone who’s obtained three fragments of the Dragonquake Scripture. Everything I’ve done is to complete them, so that they would become a real Dragonquake Scripture again.
“The formations of your world of immortals and the so-called heritage on the ancestor planet are all derived from the Dragonquake Scripture. Formations? Feng shui? That’s all there is to them. I left this inheritance behind so it would grow and evolve in this realm, all for the sake of the Dragonquake Scripture.”
At this, the fake Fuxi looked at Lu Yun with great satisfaction. “You did it, you successfully completed the Dragonquake Scripture, but you didn’t operate it to its fullest mysteries either in the past or in the modern age. That was why I purposefully revealed a flaw and lured you into the chaos.”
Lu Yun had made the scripture whole again the moment he fully operated it in the chaos. It’d combined the three secret arts in the imposter’s body and transformed them into the Dragonquake Scripture.
The fake Fuxi gently opened his arms and summoned the image of the chaos dragon again, wrapping it around him.
Fuxi, Lu Yun, and Qing Yu took a step backward in unison and tensely watched the man’s features rearrange themselves.
Fuxi’s skin on his body melted away, revealing a man with an uncannily sinister appearance. With the exception of three eyes on his face, he looked very much like a human.
“In all honesty, I should thank all of you. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t so easily obtain the Dragonquake Scripture. It’s ranked number one out of the ancient methods in the chaos.” The three-eyed man spoke slowly as he scanned Lu Yun’s group, his eyes settling on Lu Yun in the end. “However, you and I share a karmic relationship of life and death. I suffered irreversible injuries when I entered this realm from the chaos and you cured me with arts of life.
“This is a tremendous boon, one that I cannot hope to repay. My inability to will have ill effects in the future, so… I can only kill you to sever this strand of joint karma.”
Benefaction that could not be repaid!
Lu Yun had thought he was saving Fuxi. As the holy emperor of humanity, Fuxi protected the human race so it could flourish and prosper in the great wilderness. Since Lu Yun was human, it seemed only natural that he use his arts to restore Fuxi to good health.
But since the three-eyed man was an imposter, he contributed nothing to humanity after he became Fuxi, apart from passing down the three fragmented scraps of the Dragonquake Scripture. He’d been wholly unmoved even when Wahuang, Huaxu, and Leize died.
