Chapter 1014: Someone Else (2/2)

And they seemed to be juvenile chaos dragons.

“How is this possible…? A venerated chaos dragon has just returned to the sacred palace, so how are there three more all of a sudden?” a mighty existence murmured quietly to himself.

The venerated one he spoke of was the three-eyed man who’d mastered the Dragonquake Scripture and turned into a chaos dragon.

However, his mumblings enabled Lu Yun and Qing Yu to clearly discern the language of the chaos creatures. Qing Yu surreptitiously activated formula dao while Lu Yun called upon the Tome of Life and Death. The two began to deduce the full language of the chaos creatures and, in turn, theorize about their civilization.

This was similar to when Lu Yun had seen writings from the ancient divine court in the sword barrow, then used those writings and the power of the Tome of Life and Death to derive the particulars of the ancient court’s civilization.

……

“They’re juvenile chaos dragons,” one of the chaos creatures suddenly said. “The chaos dragon bloodline is powerful and every part of their bodies is a treasure. If we eat them…

“The chaos dragons of the sacred palace are brutal and savage. The one who just returned ate countless numbers of our tribe along the way.” Viciousness crept into the unidentifiable chaos creature’s tones. “Kill them and eat them all! We’ll be able to cultivate into advanced life forms then. Though we still may not be able to destroy the realm, we’ll be able to escape the chaos and not be attacked by the energy of a realm!”

Speaking in hushed tones, there were three chaos creatures standing in front of them. Lu Yun couldn’t hear the sounds of their discussion. Even if he could, their language was so complex that unless they injected their words with their consciousness, he still wouldn’t understand what he heard.

He and Qing Yu were still quietly deriving their language.

Tianqi stood up and rang the bell outward, sending ringing peals of power throughout the chaos. It forced the three chaos creatures back a few steps, away from the boundaries of the realm.

“Master, they’re discussing whether or not they should eat you!” Tianqi’s voice transmitted into Lu Yun’s mind. “Be careful, they’re all creators. They have the strength to seize the purple qi, but are unwilling to come close for some reason.”

The pool of purple qi happened to reside precisely where the energy of the realm radiated into the chaos. Half of it was within the confines of the realm, the other half wasn’t. With Tianqi’s current strength, he was no match for a creator and wouldn’t be able to hold out for long in an offensive.

However, the three creators simply remained on the scene, not claiming the purple qi but also not leaving.

“Take this sword.” Lu Yun sent Quietus to his disciple with a swift thought. “There are traitors among the connate demon gods. If the chaos creatures really did want this purple qi, they would’ve obtained it long ago.”

He’d thought that this was the chaos creatures’ most urgent goal, so that they could enter the realm and destroy it. But it now seemed that this wasn’t the case.

There are pitiably few inhabitants of the chaos, and they always ensured an escape plan for themselves.

They still want to use their old methods to destroy our realm… but stay here to keep an eye on the purple qi because they don’t want Tianqi or anyone to take it, Lu Yun mused. Tianqi isn’t a creator and won’t affect their plans in our world much. There should be someone else here!
