Chapter 1061: Hadal Hell (1/2)

“I can save her. I can save her,” murmured Lu Yun as he gazed upon the woman’s fading figure.

He knew that if she vanished into the depths, so would her reason and memories. She would return to being a dead spirit inhabiting a skeleton, one that guarded the chaos dragon zombies within the zombie sea.

The mountain of white bone projected by the dragon pearl would also collapse, condensing into a tiny dot of power and entering Aoxin’s body to become his cultivation potential.

Lu Yun was an orphan. Raised by his master, he’d never been familiar with the concept of a mother. He craved to have someone to call that, and it was the greatest regret of his life that he would never be able to fulfill this wish. He didn’t want the same to happen to Aoxin.

Blazing hellfire flickered to life around him as the Tome of Life and Death materialized over his head. Profound black light covered the white bone mountain, forcefully pulling back the figure that’d just left.

“What are you doing?!” Dread flashed through the woman’s eyes; she sensed a presence from Lu Yun that shook her heart! She was a dead spirit instead of a zombie—in other words, something truly dead. Anything dead fell under Lu Yun’s purview.

“Your soul has scattered and there’s only a trace of your true spirit left. But for me…”

“Stop!” the woman shrieked. Though she was still a skeleton, emotion somehow floated onto her face. “Please… he is my only hope… As long as he lives, I will disappear content, even if I am to suffer in the depths of the hadal hell…”

If she came back to life, she would attract the attention of many existences in the tomb. They would search out Lu Yun, even if they had to turn the chaos upside down to find him. Her son would be implicated as well.

The curse afflicting the chaos dragons in the Tomb of Heaven and Earth was too horrifying to comprehend. Once it was known that Aoxin was a descendent of the chaos dragons, he would fall to its cruelty.

“Hadal hell?” A sudden thought struck Lu Yun and he smiled. “Then, off you go!”

Whoosh.

The enormous Gates of the Abyss suddenly appeared upon the bedrock of the zombie sea, next to the mountain of white bone. They swung ponderously open to the Hadal Prisons, radiating the aura of what the woman called hadal hell.

As the aura filtered through the area, the zombie sea churned and surged while hordes of zombies fled in all directions with gibbering panic. Even the three-headed lizard in the air squawked with terror and shot for the other end of the waters.

Ready to commence heroic battle, Jin Gushen’s jaw dropped and he stared blankly at the agitating waves below, not sure of what to do. He could keenly sense that a titanic being was slowly awakening at the bottom of the zombie sea; its fearsome thought ripples emanated in all directions.

He’d only ever felt such immense mental strength from a sovereign before, and the thoughts of this one were deeply tinged with fear!

A sovereign powerhouse was afraid!

……

“The hadal hell… This really is the hadal hell…”

An enormous suction force devoured the mountain of white bone before the large door slowly creaked shut. Aoxin and his mother now resided in hell.
