Chapter 1117: The Scripture of Dragon Quake, the Scripture of Dao Quake (2/2)

Once again, Lu Yun focused his efforts on the Dragonquake Scripture.

This method had existed in the mythological realm and had, in fact, been the foremost method of the chaos in any era. His past self had cultivated it in the mythological realm to eventually make his way to the top.

His past self hadn’t cultivated the Method of Life and Death as he lacked the Tome of Life and Death and hellfire. All he could make use of was the Dragonquake Scripture!

“The chaos dragons definitely didn’t pioneer this method! The Dragonquake part of its name means to shake true dragons, the dragons of heaven and earth, the dragons of the chaos, of Hongmeng, and even the fourth realm. The dragons of the fourth realm didn’t even possess physical shape!

“This is a matchless method of paramount sophistication!” When Lu Yun opened his eyes, two hazy purple thunderbolts flashed through them. It didn’t occur to him until now that he could use the Tome of Life and Death to study this method.

But even with the aid of this unparalleled treasure, the Dragonquake Scripture remained profound and unfathomable. The Dragonsearch, Dragonshift, and Dragonspike Methods were but the tip of the iceberg and just three minor methods in the greater picture of things. The true Dragonquake Scripture was vast, limitless, and incomparably esoteric. It was impossible to fully explore it within a short amount of time.

“Dragons… are derived from the laws of creation. When we say from dao comes one, we don’t mean the number one or a single line, but the shape of a dragon. A dragon in motion is the shape of one from the dao!

“When dao takes the shape of living creatures, it does so in the form of a dragon!”

As he deployed the Tome of Life and Death to study the Dragonquake Scripture, its deeper levels of meaning opened up to Lu Yun. From dao came one meant the form of a dragon, and so the scripture was a scripture to quake the dao!

The order of inception within the chaos also represented the true meaning of from dao came one, and one begat two, two gave birth to three, and from three resulted all living things. Monarch Leize of Inception Place was a connate divine dragon—the first dragon within the chaos, the dragon of inception.

Thus, Leize naturally became its ruler after Inception Palace came into being. Or it could be accurately said that it’d been Leize who refined the order of inception in a chaos star, created the Inception Dao Palace, and then the Inception Sacred Palace to shelter all chaos creatures.

The Dragonquake Scripture also contained the meaning of inception, but the draconic meaning within the method was at a higher level than the dragon of inception.

Focusing completely on the meaning of dao within the Dragonquake Scripture, Lu Yun’s cultivation shot forward by leaps and bounds, crossing into supreme pure realm.

……

Lu Yun had no idea that while he studied the Dragonquake Scripture and probed its innermost meaning, a bank of tribulation clouds as thick as a world moved over Inception Palace. The previously turquoise sacred palace turned dark, as if all sources of light had been severed.

Only the darkest of night reigned over their heads.

“What is this?” Leize was startled out of seclusion. He was assimilating the reflection beyond the chaos that Lu Yun had gifted him, but now, suddenly felt a powerless fear from the top of his head.

Unbidden, he, Wahuang, and a hundred Inception sovereigns took to the air.

“This bank of tribulation clouds…” Eyes wide at the sight, he stared at a black hole of clouds in the void and murmured to himself, “This is the thunder tribulation that once destroyed the chaos dragons… Just what is going on?”

“It’s the Dragonquake Scripture. Someone’s gleaned the forbidden texts of that method beyond the Dragonsearch, Dragonshift, and Dragonspike Methods,” an aged voice slowly rose behind Leize. “That person is within the sacred palace. Since the Dragonquake Scripture has returned, why does Your Majesty keep it from us?”

Dissatisfaction and gratification marked the wizened voice.
