Chapter 1053: The World as a Burial Chamber (1/2)

Though Qie He had reached peak chaos realm, he couldn’t put up any resistance to the zombie and was dragged in shrieking and flailing around.

And then, he suddenly cut off mid scream.

Dead.

He died the moment he entered the tomb. Shortly thereafter, a series of mind numbing chewing sounds trailed out from the tomb.

……

“The zombie ate him… the zombie!” Lu Yun frowned ferociously. Hellfire could control ghostly beings, but couldn’t do anything to zombies.

Ghosts were completely dead, but in the chaos, zombies fell in the category of the living. They weren’t completely dead, and as such hellfire couldn’t exert control over them. In this moment, Lu Yun gave up exploring the tomb of the world king. With his current level of strength, he’d be courting death if he set foot into a tomb like that.

Though he had a million ways to restrain zombies, the one that’d appeared just now was too strong. It was at least creator realm, and this was still the fringes of the tomb. Who knew what kind of monsters would appear if he ventured into the depths?

With these concerns brewing in his mind, he turned on his heel and left without another word. He wasn’t a real disciple of a sacred palace. An attack from a creator could absolutely obliterate the six paths of his nascent spirit in hell.

There was only one life available to him. Lu Yun didn’t have such an unrealistic view of his strength that he would make a play for something so out of his reach. Plus, he’d gotten a clear overlook at this world—there was no presence of the immortal dao here. Everything having to do with it had been destroyed, so whatever was in that tomb wouldn’t bear a mission of waiting for him with a message or heritage.

His sentiments weren’t shared by the others on the scene. A creator realm zombie was invincible to Lu Yun, but there were many creators here as well as immortal lords. They carefully drew near to each other to form an alliance to crack the tomb.

……

“The entrance to other worlds is here.” Lu Yun arrived at the edge of his current planet and looked at a tiny fracture in the ground.

The worlds within the Tomb of Heaven and Earth were comparable to the burial chambers of a regular tomb. They were all linked to each other somehow. For instance, the tomb of the Vaststar world king was the equivalent to an outer-coffin. This type of layout that used worlds as tombs and tombs as coffins was a level of sophistication beyond Lu Yun’s abilities.

“These burial chambers are most likely outer worlds outside of the main part of the tomb. They’re relatively safe as long as we don’t provoke whatever’s residing inside. The true danger is in the center of the Tomb of Life and Death, that huge burial pit of ten thousand—no, a hundred million lives!”

Lu Yun casually flitted through burial chamber after burial chamber, having no other choice but to flare the power of inception as he traveled. If he didn’t do so, he would’ve been grabbed to be cannon fodder at any time.

After a while, many in the burial chambers came to know that a second level mortal realm disciple of Inception Palace was among them. There was nothing for it, Lu Yun had to grin and bear it, continuing with his false identity.

Most of his usual methods of disguise were useless in front of creators and immortal lords. He was too weak. Therefore, he adopted the most high-handed attitude he could muster and didn’t back down even when encountering other sacred palace disciples. He was cocky and arrogant to the extreme and sometimes went so far as to fight with the sacred palace disciples he ran into.

I’ll take a moment to change into another appearance after a few more burial chambers. My Shapeshifting death art has absorbed the clear currents of the chaos, so only sovereigns will be able to see through it. Lu Yun set foot into the next world as he mused over his next course of action.

“Junior brother Lu Yun!” A delighted voice traveled into his ears the moment he entered the next burial chamber. Dressed in a vividly green skirt, a joyful Ying Luo appeared next to him. “I heard people say that an Inception disciple had appeared and thought it must be you!”

Lu Yun paused and looked blankly at the sudden reappearance of the girl.
