Chapter 998: The Third and Fourth Realms (1/2)

From the distance, the Bridge of Forgetfulness looked to be just a small stone bridge erected in the dusky depths of the void. But when Lu Yun tried to approach it, he realized that it was so many times bigger that he’d imagined.

It seemed as large as a world.

The corpseflies that’d been three meters long to the couple before turned into mammoth creatures five hundred kilometers long.

There was no frame of reference in the darkness, so Lu Yun had no idea how far away he was from the bridge.

The Bridge of Forgetfulness was different from the Gates of the Abyss fragment in Zhao Qing’s tomb. The gates were broken and the main body in Lu Yun’s hands, hence it was easy for him to subdue the fragment he found.

The bridge in front of him was whole and complete with no sign of damage. If it wasn’t for the Stone of Three Lives in his hands, he probably wouldn’t be able to sense that it was here at all.

It grew bigger the further in he walked, as did the corpseflies buzzing over it. More terrifying was that he still had no idea of how far away he was from the bridge!

The boundless darkness was too pure in this unknown world and unknown realm. There was nothing else in front of him apart from the Bridge of Forgetfulness.

Clenching his teeth, Lu Yun deployed the Boundless Step and strode ten steps of five hundred thousand kilometers each, covering five million kilometers total. The bridge grew larger in his field of view, but he was still very far away from it.

He had no idea how big it was even now, but the corpseflies on it were as large as a planet in his eyes now. Their bodies rose and fell in deep slumber.

Qing Yu reached his side with a few leaps and bounds.

“How far away are we from this bridge?” she murmured as she looked at Lu Yun, feeling a bit numb at how nonsensical things were.

“I don’t know… but look at the corpseflies on the bridge. They’re as big as a main world in the lower realms, so why is it can we see the bridge in its full glory?” Lu Yun calmed down,

If the corpse flies were already as big as a main world and the bridge was even bigger than them, logic dictated that they would be only able to see part of the bridge. However, the entire Bridge of Forgetfulness was in front of them and appearing in its fullest glory.

It was bigger than the entire world of immortals by now.

“Wait a second.” Qing Yu took in a deep breath and sat down crosslegged, operating formula dao to deduce the truth of the situation here.

Lu Yun took out the Tome of Life and Death to safeguard her. This bridge was too uncanny, so forcing formula dao on it might very easily lead to a backlash.

Indeed, a surge of tremendous force surged from the bridge and slapped down on Qing Yu the moment the book’s light enveloped her.

Boom!

The light curtain from the Tome of Life and Death trembled violently, then crushed the force as if it’d been rudely challenged. It didn’t strike back after that, just remained hovering over Qing Yu’s head to protect her.

That surge of strength had threatened her life, and if it wasn’t for the book standing guard, Qing Yu would’ve already died to the attack.
