Chapter 1059: Jin Gushen (2/2)

“My junior sister is right. You’re only second level mortal realm and not even an ant in this zombie sea. You’ll be going to your death if you head outside!” Leng Xian also stood in front of Lu Yun. Since he was a secluded disciple of Inception Palace, she couldn’t let him go to his death.

“I owe much to Jin Gushen and can’t let him die like this.” Lu Yun was still staring at the water curtain. The two enormous beasts outside showed signs of temporarily joining hands so they could take care of the foreigner first.

During these fifteen years, the golden warrior that’d joined the metal elemental land had reaped the most for his efforts. It was all because of Jin Gushen, and the genius had saved the golden warrior multiple times.

“Also, I’m not an ant. These zombies can’t do anything to me. If it wasn’t for you guys… heh. I would’ve crossed the zombie sea a long time ago.”

Whoosh!

Black flames roared to life around him and concealed all traces of the living and zombie from Lu Yun. He seemed to be a humanoid pillar of flame, a dead thing without any ripples of life. His laugh descended in temperature and pierced the bones of the other three with cold.

“Cold black fire!” Leng Xian shrieked, understanding why Ying Luo tagged after Lu Yun all this time…

The monarch of Creation Palace had once said that if they met someone with cold black fire, they were to help him without reservation if he met with trouble.

“Let me help you!” she quickly offered.

“You guys not pulling me down would be the biggest help you can give to me.”

Whoosh!

With that, Lu Yun disappeared.

“Has he… has he always viewed me as a burden?” Ying Luo asked blankly, looking at where Lu Yun had vanished.

“No.” Surprisingly, it was Wang Shu who responded. “If he thought you were a burden, he would’ve tried everything to get rid of you.” He chuckled ruefully when he thought of how hard Lu Yun had tried to lose him in the other burial chambers.

Ying Luo bit her lip, a hurt expression flashing through her eyes. Leng Xian sank deep into thought.

……

Hellfire obscured all signs of life from Lu Yun; even the water curtain in the submarine couldn’t locate his form.

Instead of immediately heading for Jin Gushen, he first set up a tiny formation talisman and shrank the submarine back into a particle of dust before leaving with peace of mind. He’d shared trials and hardship with these people, and he was only human. He could save Jin Gushen at the cost of all else and would also do the same if Ying Luo met with danger.

To Lu Yun, Ying Luo was now his friend.

Jin Gushen, it’s always been you saving me, now it’s my turn. Fifteen years of friendship has gotta count for something, eh? Lu Yun sped toward the three eternal overlords. Since the bone dragon originates from a chaos dragon, then what I need to do is find its dragon pearl. Once I have it in hand, I won’t need to be concerned with the dragon anymore, even if it’s an eternal overlord.

Having once taken chaos dragon form, Lu Yun was naturally very familiar with them.

Though chaos dragons looked like three dragons smashed together, what with their three heads, three tails, and twelve dragon claws, they had only one core essence—their dragon pearl. The pearl contained all of the dragon’s strength. If it was smashed, then the chaos dragon was crippled beyond help.

However, their pearl was the equivalent of a dao immortal’s dao fruit. Normally hidden within the body, it was impossible to destroy.

Even if this dragon had turned into a bone dragon, its dragon pearl should still remain in perfect condition. If it was broken, then the bone dragon would be a pile of bone dust instead of the snarling specimen in the sky.

Since the bone dragon overhead was a skeleton, the pearl wouldn’t be found in its body. It had to be hidden somewhere in the zombie sea—its nest, perhaps.

When his thoughts traveled here, Lu Yun utilized Shapeshifting to turn into a speck of dust and burrowed into the depths of the zombie sea right beneath the dragon.

A dragon sleeps in mountains coiled, those deathly cliffs with mysteries roiled! He chanted silently while pale golden light burst forth from his eyes.

Overhead, the gigantic bone dragon suddenly froze mid-pounce at Jin Gushen. It looked down, staring straight beneath it with its empty eye sockets.

The Dragonsearch Invocation was a part of the Dragonquake Scripture, the highest art of the chaos dragons. Even though the bone dragon was dead, the operation of its race’s highest art wouldn’t pass by unnoticed.

“Aooouuu!” Howling piercingly, the dragon grew rapidly smaller and plunged into the zombie sea.

Jin Gushen and the three-headed lizard looked at each other, not knowing what to make of the situation.

“So… it’s just the two of us now.” A great pressure lifted off his shoulders with the bone dragon’s sudden departure, Jin Gushen smirked evilly at the three-headed lizard.
