Chapter 1081: The Woman That Can’t Be Seen (1/2)

“What is it?” Wahuang frowned when she saw Lu Yun’s expression.

“Can you really not see her?” He stared fixedly at the faceless woman.

This was no ghost or dead spirit. Neither of those would dare approach Lu Yun. However, he didn’t sense the presence of the living from her either. He had no idea what she was.

Currently, the sixth level mortal realm cultivator attempting to pull the sword out was withering away at a speed visible to the naked eye. He swiftly shriveled up and dispersed into the air as a pile of dust.

Utter silence descended upon the scene at his demise. That cultivator was from the earth origin land and ranked first among mortal realm cultivators; he had the potential to become a sovereign.

The four origin sacred lands had come together in a line of defense to stand guard while he pulled out the sword and obtained the opportunity beyond the chaos. Instead, that glorious genius had died without even a whimper.

The cold grip of fear clenched around everyone's hearts as most concerning was that no one had any idea how that person had died.

……

Wahuang was as white as a sheet. She’d sent only a projection of her replica here, but it was still equipped with the consciousness and vision of a sovereign. Despite that, she had no idea how that person had died.

“Is there really a faceless woman there like you say?” she asked again.

“She’s left,” Lu Yun heaved a sigh of relief. He hadn’t called upon the Spectral Eye, but he’d really seen the woman and that she’d made a shushing gesture at him. Who is she?

“This Tomb of Heaven and Earth is really bizarre.” Wahuang shook her head. “It looks like even the power of the six palaces can’t control the events that happen here.”

“Power of the six palaces?” Lu Yun blinked.

“Mmhmm.” Wahuang nodded. “The monarchs of the six palaces have come together to utilize the highest orders of law to create the rules of trial, turning the tomb into an enormous testing ground.

“But it looks like the rules aren’t able to fully dictate what occurs here. There are still many existences that can resist the rules,” she mused.

“So that’s what’s going on here…” His new understanding of the six sacred palaces startled Lu Yun. It was incredible that they could use an entire tomb as an adventure zone when they worked in tandem. After all, the Tomb of Heaven and Earth contained the power to ascend beyond the chaos!

“Is that why the palaces know the truth about the zombie?” he asked.
