Chapter 1052: Tomb of the World King (2/2)

The chaos realm expert with the single horn on his head and an ashen complexion didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He plainly wasn’t a run-of-the-mill talent since he could make it here—there was also a powerful faction behind him. But in front of a sacred palace, his faction was just an ant colony.

“You wanted me to come over here, so how could I be so rude as to refuse?” Lu Yun smirked with a half smile. “You, go over there and see what dangers there are around that tomb.” He pointed commandingly at the tombstone in front of the tomb of the Vaststar world king.

Though the biggest drawback of his fake identity was that the gig would be up in front of any Inception disciple, it was an enormous guarantee of safety otherwise. In front of him, color drained from One-horn’s face until he resembled a piece of paper.

“I, I…” His eyes darted around the scene.

“I’ve already committed your likeness to memory and know who you are,” Lu Yun chuckled. “You’re Qie He of the blackhorn race, aren’t you? The blackhorns certainly have some balls to be challenging a sacred palace!”

Scattered all over the chaos, his thirty-six golden warriors had soaked in knowledge like a sponge. They’d recorded the characteristics and strength of all major races and factions in the chaos, as well as taken down the names of any noteworthy characters.

Qie He was a genius of the blackhorn race, but one that didn’t merit attention from the sacred lands or palaces. For some of the factions that the golden warriors had joined, however, he was a person of great interest.

“You!” Awful realization flitted across his face. He didn’t have a soul lamp. If he died here, he’d be dead for good.

“Well? Go on then. Or do you want the blackhorns to go extinct?” His expression taking a frosty bent, Lu Yun summoned the image of a dragon that shimmered with faint gold.

“A chaos dragon!!” Qie He shrieked as horror stabbed into his gut, freezing him from inside out. He didn’t dare twitch a muscle.

“Hurry along now,” Lu Yun commanded with growing irritation and a frown.

“Under, understood!” Not daring to hesitate after seeing the image of a chaos dragon, Qie He cautiously advanced toward the world king’s tomb.

Though the image of chaos dragon didn’t necessarily mean the wielder was a chaos dragon, it surely did mean that he had much to do with the dragons. Chaos dragons were so infamous that their name alone terrified many factions in the chaos.

Other chaos creatures hidden in the surroundings also trembled and shook, deathly afraid of offending Lu Yun. It’d be one thing if they could kill this Inception disciple, but since he possessed a soul lamp, whoever dared attack him would eventually be the one to die a grisly death instead. Anyone having to do with the culprit would also be subject to crazed vengeance.

The consequences were too much to bear.

Those in the tomb were very different from the three who’d wanted to eat Lu Yun and the others. Those three had been creators abandoned by the nine sacred lands, and them wanting to eat a chaos dragon meant they’d made up their minds to betray the sacred lands. They would only have to hide in the part of the chaos that was affected by the energy of the worlds to stymie any revenge from the sacred palaces.

……

“There’s no danger here,” Qie He sighed with relief after reaching the world king’s tomb and inspecting it carefully. However, he turned around to meet Lu Yun’s shocked gaze.

A zombie arm was probing out from a fissure next to the tomb. It grabbed Qie He’s ankle and dragged him inside.
