Chapter 1029: Too Much (1/2)
Qiu Luoyu could absolutely turn and leave without a second thought, right this very moment, but Lu Yun’s last word gave him pause. Indeed, once a tenth sacred land appeared in the chaos, life would become even more difficult for the otherkind.
While the four origin and five elemental sacred lands hated each other, they were remarkably united when it came to the otherkind in the chaos.
Complete extermination.
With the nine sacred lands each reigning supreme in their respective territory, they’d occupied almost all available domain within the chaos. If a tenth sacred land appeared, the otherkind would have no other choice but to flee to the zone of pollution.
……
“I’m also certain that even if you gain the creation seed, you won’t be able to use it to create a sacred land. You’ll at most prevent a tenth one from appearing, just like what that one did all those years ago,” Lu Yun continued.
Qiu Luoyu frowned ferociously.
When Hongjun obtained the tenth creation seed, he didn’t allow it to grow and form a sacred land. Instead, he refined it into his body and became a creator, ultimately taking shelter in that zone of pollution.
Lu Yun patted Qiu Luoyu’s shoulder. “If you dare create a tenth sacred land, I’ll bet those sovereigns in the six sacred palaces will immediately show themselves and crush you under their feet.”
Qiu Luoyu frowned anew when Lu Yun patted his shoulder, but then relaxed when he thought of the person behind this mortal being.
“Your only available option now is to ally with us and enter that tomb to get the creation seed. You can destroy it or go into hiding with it. All of you are done for if anyone else gets it,” said Lu Yun. “And you, as the strongest of the otherkind, will be the first to die.”
Qiu Luoyu’s expression shifted uncertainly. Since there was no time in the chaos, he could live forever with endless life force. After all, he’d been alive during the Great Devastation!
He feared death and didn’t want to disappear. Thus he never stopped fighting and strived hard to live on. He didn’t care what happened to the others, he just wanted to live.
There was a very high probability of death if he entered that tomb.
“Are you that confident that you’ll get the creation seed if you enter the Tomb of Heaven and Earth?” Qiu Luoyu asked ominously.
“Yes, I’m confident that I’ll get the seed if we enter the tomb.” Lu Yun nodded firmly. “I can also guarantee our safety inside the tomb. We won’t die in there!”
He possessed the Tome of Life and Death!
That treasure had formed the heavenly palace and kingdom of hell. Lu Yun guessed that the book’s roots were in the world in this Age of Myth. Thus, he wanted to enter the tomb and see just what it held.
“Alright then!” Qiu Luoyu made up his mind. “I’ll trust you this once. But if we meet with any sort of overpowering danger within the tomb, I’ll be the first to abandon you and make good my escape!”
“That’s fine, we won’t be dragging you down either.” Lu Yun nodded and the little fox’s eyes lit up. She too yearned to explore the unknown land of mythology. Now that she’d learned the Dragonquake Scripture, she ardently wished to prove herself.
……
An enormous tomb jutted out of the center of the chaos current like a sore thumb. All of the plants withered at a speed visible to the naked eye and the vigorous vitality in the surroundings streamed into the tomb within the span of a few quick breaths.
