Chapter 1033: A Bloody Path (1/2)

Lu Yun hadn’t anticipated that the tomb doors would open after he kicked Chi Wuxia into the structure. But the doors seemed like something alive, ready to eat entrants at any time.

“A tomb of the yang realm? Yin realm? Or something else?” Lu Yun stood in front of the tomb doors and quietly ran through possible theories in his mind. He didn’t utilize the Dragonquake Scripture or any other method, just analyzed the tomb based off of his own experience.

He could already tell that this tomb was a massive pit holding an unquantifiable amount of lives. It didn’t bury the legendary world of myth, but all of its inhabitants instead. Perhaps that world had long since transformed into a terrifying realm monster.

Thus, it remained a riddle as to how that world had come to an end. The only thing that remained certain was that it was far stronger than the current chaos, and that its denizens had long evolved to another plane of life.

……

“Our opportunity to exceed the chaos realm and the creation seed is inside!” someone suddenly murmured. “We can free ourselves from the shackles of this existence once we go in and never have to worry about the worlds ever again…”

He seemed bewitched and vanished into the yawning maw of the tomb door, never to be seen again. His actions were the catalyst for a growing tide of chaos creatures streaming into the tomb. By Lu Yun’s side, Dawnruin and Merefrost stared fixedly at the doors, taking to the air without a corresponding command from Lu Yun and flying toward the tomb.

“Wake up!” Lu Yun roared and sent his voice roiling across the scene.

That failed to awaken them and they continued along their path. He reached out and grasped them in his hand, dragging them back.

“Something’s entranced their hearts and minds, something like my illusions.” The little fox poked a head out of Lu Yun’s embrace and examined the two beings. “But this illusion is much stronger than mine. I can only beguile their senses. This one, however, has ensnared everything about them. A real world of the mind has been built in the innermost depths of their hearts and they’re lost inside.

“You need to be careful.” She’d almost been trapped by the illusion too, but as a fellow master of the art, she could safeguard her mind so that she wasn’t lost like the others.

Lu Yun nodded. He’d sensed something off about the scene, but since his nascent spirit was in hell instead of with him, this kind of mental attack couldn’t affect him and thus he couldn’t fully experience what was going on.

More and more chaos creatures entered the tomb, from chaos realm to creators and to even stronger heavyweights—none were immune to the illusion. However, those at the very top, such as Huo Shentong or those like Chi Wuxia, remained unaffected. They stood unmoving in the void.

“Let’s go in.” Lu Yun smacked Dawnruin and Merefrost unconscious, shoving them into the pocket dimension that Qiu Luoyu was in.

“Go in?” The little fox quailed.

“Don’t you want to learn the kind of illusory art that can create a real world of the mind?” Lu Yun grinned evilly while the little fox’s eyes widened in realization.

“If I can learn this art, wouldn’t I be invincible then?” Eagerness began to shine from her face. Not even creators were immune to this illusion!

Lu Yun chuckled and strode forward, heading for the tomb doors. All was endlessly dark inside, but there were subtle rays of crimson light flashing through the shadows. It truly did seem like the open mouth of some titanic beast.
