Chapter 1024: Hongjun?! (1/2)

Lu Yun and the little fox looked at each other, not saying a word.

“To this part of the chaos, we’re otherkind and also targets to be exterminated,” Qiu Luoyu said candidly. “In our eyes, the life forms of the realms and the chaos are noticeably different. Even though you use the foremost method of the chaos—the Dragonquake Scripture—to disguise yourself as chaos dragons, I can still see through to your true form.”

Lu Yun nodded. “You don’t want the Dragonquake Scripture.”

He now understood how the three-eyed man had sought him out and why he’d proposed stealing the six sacred palaces. The three-eyed man was also an otherkind.

“Of course I want it!” Passionate desire gleamed in Qiu Luoyu’s eyes. “This is the greatest method of the chaos and said to elevate one above a chaos existence!”

“Here you go.” Lu Yun opened his hand and condensed the Dragonquake Scripture into a ball of light, sending it to Qiu Luoyu.

“No!” The young man shook his head and crushed the ball into motes of light. “The karmic repercussions of being gifted the Dragonquake Scripture are too great. I’ll be hunted down by the chaos dragons once I learn this method. I don’t yet have the strength to face the old monsters among them.”

He flashed a mysterious half smile as Lu Yun shuddered.

“Can chaos dragons really not exceed nine in total?” the little fox suddenly asked.

“They could be found everywhere in the chaos before the Great Devastation. After that cataclysm nearly wiped out all life in this realm, they seemed to have been cursed. They’ll go extinct if their numbers exceed ten.” Qiu Luoyu thought a bit more. “In fact, they did indeed go extinct a few times.”

“They went extinct, but then appeared again?” The little fox was immensely surprised.

“They’re part of the sacred clan, which means that the spark of their race is held within the sacred palaces. They can be reborn as long as the six structures still stand. Granted, they would have to start over from the beginning.” Qiu Luoyu looked at the little fox. “The sacred palace’s greatest function is to preserve the last bloodlines of the sacred clan.”

“You didn’t come here just to tell us this, did you?” Lu Yun interrupted.

“Of course not.” Qiu Luoyu took in a deep breath and continued solemnly, “I want the creation seed! I want to create the tenth sacred land in the chaos from that seed, one that will safeguard the bloodlines of us otherkind!

“I can’t be seen out and about, but neither can you, so we can help each other!”

Lu Yun’s expression turned a bit odd. Qiu Luoyu wasn’t the first person to approach him, that was the three-eyed man. However, he was only an ant in comparison to them right now.

“I ask you this because you’re a life form of the realms and one of the very few that can come to the chaos. I can only ally with you.”

Qiu Luoyu was using “you” and not “you two”. Plainly, the chaos realm little fox wasn’t worthy of his consideration.

“I’ve observed this place for a while and they say that a great expert of the chaos dragons is in residence here. That great expert is you, isn’t it?” Qiu Luoyu continued before Lu Yun responded, “We can work together, pretend to be great masters, and take that creation seed!”

“What’s in it for me? What do I get out of this?” Lu Yun asked instead.
