Chapter 1015: Literally Scared to Death (1/2)
Lu Yun and Qing Yu both caught wind of something out of the ordinary at the same time.
Perhaps this locale was very important to the chaos creatures, but it wasn’t as important as it came across. The chaos creatures were here not to obtain the purple qi, but to put on an act and entice others to come guard it.
Perhaps both Tianqi and the other unknown existence knew that the chaos creatures wouldn’t take the purple qi, but they weren’t willing to bet on it.
As for the other…
Lu Yun carefully scanned the premises, but saw no sign of anyone else. After giving Quietus to Tianqi with none the wiser, he brushed expressionlessly past Tianqi, seeming to think absolutely nothing of him.
The sword appeared in Tianqi’s nascent spirit without forewarning. Tianqi’s Karmic Tree sapling had taken root in his nascent spirit and was one with it. Or rather, his nascent spirit was now in the shape of the Karmic Tree.
“Thirty years,” Lu Yun’s voice echoed in Tianqi’s mind. “When I return in thirty years, you will return to home with me.”
“Understood!” Tianqi almost trembled from excitement. Though no expression crossed his face, his blood thrummed with emotion.
Lu Yun didn’t ask about his disciple’s reaction as he didn’t want to overly interact with Tianqi. This excursion to the chaos was a risky decision in itself and he couldn’t afford to be distracted for a single second.
……
Lu Yun didn’t continue probing the secrets of the purple qi as this wasn’t his ultimate goal. The moment the three left that area, a pristine air current flooded into their bodies through their heads. The sensation was so comfortable that they almost moaned in unison.
Is this also the chaos? Lu Yun frowned slightly and didn’t say anything. The environment here was very strange. Though it was as empty as the zone enveloped by the energy of the realm, there were none of the gray chaos currents to be found.
In fact, it rather seemed like the fourth realm that Lu Yun and Qing Yu had once visited, just not as open or spacious. An uncommonly refreshing presence suffused the area, filling the void and omnipresent like it was air.
“This is a chaos current,” Qing Yu whispered quietly. “The turbulent currents we’re familiar with and this clear one are both chaos currents, just that the clear ones turn hazy when they encounter the energy of a realm.”
The gray currents were heavy and muddled, unable to be absorbed by any life form. It was here that the two understood why chaos creatures were unable to survive in the realms. The energy that flowed through their bodies was most likely these clean currents, and these clean currents turned into turgid gray currents upon encountering a world’s energy.
Lu Yun and Qing Yu couldn’t determine what would happen to the chaos creatures after they were exposed to the energy of the realms. The only experience they had to go off of was when Lu Yun split open the first dao palace and seen the chaos creatures flayed alive.
Qing Yu’s pores opened to their fullest amid the current and she dedicated her attention to absorbing it. Her nascent spirit and cultivation began to grow rapidly under this nourishment.
Humm—
An enormous palm suddenly appeared in the void and smashed down on Lu Yun’s three heads. The clear currents in the area were swiftly dispersed, replaced by a stifling sensation that locked the three in place.
“It’s those creators!” Wrath built in Lu Yun’s heart. How dare they actually make a move against him!
However, he heaved a sigh of relief as well. That these three creators had been assigned to this locale meant they were important among their kind. Chaos dragons were a sacred race of the chaos creatures, but these creators still dared attack a noble sacred race! It would seem that the chaos creatures weren’t all firmly united either.
