Chapter 1125: Violetgrave’s Deal (1/2)

The faceless man also hailed from the third realm, but he wasn’t a living being—“he” was a human tribulation.

Lu Yun disturbing the prohibited parts of the Dragonquake Scripture had called forth a heavenly, earthly, and human tribulation.

The storm of black lightning was the heavenly tribulation, and now Qing Yu faced the human tribulation in the form of an actual humanoid being. That left the earthly tribulation for the little fox.

A chaos dragon genius of yesteryear had once disturbed the forbidden as well. When the chaos dragons attacked the mythological realm, all three tribulations had descended at the same time to exterminate the race.

The instrument of their curse was simply refined by some unknown being later on, having obtained chaos dragon skeletons from the Tomb of Heaven and Earth. This was also why the chaos dragons were mixed breeds now, all incredibly violent, and limited to nine total in number.

With Lu Yun having destroyed that weapon, it was only a matter of time before pureblood chaos dragons truly reappeared in the chaos.

……

Qiu Luoyu released the creation seed’s power to use as a shield against the human tribulation. The tribulation’s dagger possessed the power to kill all living things, but it was unable to get past Qiu Luoyu as he wielded a treasure from the same point of origin.

However, another human tribulation walked out of the unknown in the next moment. And another, and another…

Too many to count, they were everywhere and quickly surrounded Qiu Luoyu and Qing Yu.

Qiu Luoyu’s eyes bulged with horror. He could easily handle one or two human tribulations, but thousands? Tens of thousands? They’d be able to drown him with one mouthful of spittle each!

He glanced at Qing Yu behind him. She seemed wholly oblivious and was still focused on refining the immortal dao, making it part of everything in the chaos.

“Are you afraid?” A very pleasing voice drifted into his ear. A young girl in a purple chiffon dress had popped into the crowd of human tribulations at some point in time.

She was uncannily beautiful, her form willowy and graceful, her brows as if painted on. Her fair skin seemed to glow in space and her expression was languid, as if she’d just awoken from a nap.

“Yep.” Qiu Luoyu nodded gently and swallowed hard. “I am. But right now, I’m more afraid of you.”

She was standing right in the middle of tens of thousands of dagger wielding tribulations, but the latter had all stopped moving and were frozen in place.

As if time itself had frozen too.

There was no notion of time in the chaos, but this girl in a purple chiffon dress possessed enough power over time to impose it onto this part of the realm. A human tribulation was part of the dreadful trio and unaffected by the constraints of time and space. However, the humanoid representations of this trial were firmly caught in the domain of time right now.

“I’m Violetgrave, one of Lu Yun’s… friends.” Violetgrave thought for a bit before settling on that label. “And now, I’d like to make a deal with you.”

“What kind of deal?” Relaxing at first, Qiu Luoyu grew wary again.

“I have a type of fire here called the dark fire.”

Whoosh!
