Chapter 1090: Abandoning Sword (1/2)

“Wait, is everything over?” The crowd milled around uncertainly, caught off guard by the sudden end of the momentous clash. Who would’ve thought that things would be so neatly taken care of by a single one of Lu Yun’s moves?

“How did you pierce through the curtain of light earlier, and what was the door in your hand?” demanded the Ethos princess. She was swiftly followed by an ardent Nirvana princess.

“What, are you trying to pressure a disciple of my Inception Palace?” Wahuang sneered and stood firmly in front of Lu Yun, staring down the other two.

“Princess of Inception Palace, there’s two of us and only one of you,” the Nirvana princess said meaningfully after a glance at the Creation princess.

Under any other circumstances, the Creation princess would’ve long stepped forward to support the Inception princess. However, she’d officially broken off every tie on behalf of the Creation Palace earlier, so all she did now was to stand to the side and watch with glee.

Having saved Wang Shu, the Burgeon prince would do nothing else. The remaining Opposition prince didn’t have a reason to help the Inception princess either.

“Princess of Inception Palace, this disciple is very strange. Don’t you want to get to the bottom of his secrets?” As the standoff drew out, the Creation princess finally ventured her opinion.

“Your Highness!” Ying Luo turned white as a sheet and regarded her princess with alarm.

“I’ll kill you if you dare say another word,” came the aloof response.

Color draining from her face, Ying Luo trembled and kept her mouth shut.

“Out with it if you want the sword in my hand. What’s with all the excuses?” Lu Yun took a step forward and raised his newly obtained treasure.

This sword was plainly an existence beyond the chaos, a treasure born not of the realm. He could vaguely feel an immense heritage brewing within the sword, one that exceeded the chaos!

Shockingly enough, the energy ripples from the sword bore traces of similarity to the faceless woman from before. However, she’d vanished for now, so he didn’t have the opportunity to verify this. Still in the status of an akasha ghost, she’d entered another trial ground to continue her quest of making her soul whole again.

Time was not on her side. If she didn’t do so as soon as possible, she would become a real akasha ghost and never find her way back to herself again.

……

The cultivators around them brightened when they saw the sword in Lu Yun’s hand. The legacy to ascend beyond the chaos was in this sword, and even if it wasn’t, this was still a supreme treasure. It had slain a zombie that’d evolved beyond their realm!

In comparison, Lu Yun’s Dragonquake Scripture, the method by which he’d bypassed the curtain of light, and that strange door in his hand just now were no longer that important. The way to set foot into the next plane of existence and break free of the shackles of their existence was what everyone yearned for!

Avarice also dawned in the eyes of the Ethos and Nirvana princesses. They took a step forward in unison, bearing down on Lu Yun. However, Wahuang remained staunchly in place, her flowing locks once more turning an inky green.

“All of you, stop!” shouted the Opposition prince. “Have you forgotten that this is a testing ground? Anything gained here belongs to the bearer alone. If you rob someone of their treasure through superior cultivation, the six monarchs will make you answer for it!

“Don’t forget that they’re observing everything happening here through the six orders!”

His exhortation made the two princesses jerk to a halt. They’d been temporarily blinded by greed.

“Fine! Fine, fine.” The Ethos princess breathed heavily, glared at Lu Yun, and dismissed her replica.
