Chapter 1156: Spatial Node (1/2)

“They’re completely gone.” Lu Yun stopped after a prolonged chase.

Ghost Dragon and Ghost Phoenix’s presence had utterly vanished into the vast cosmos. Qing Yu called upon formula dao, but wasn’t able to determine where they were.

“They weren’t acting normally… something must’ve happened during the time they went missing,” she whispered beside Lu Yun.

They were far from the world of immortals and an unknown distance into the cosmos. Innumerable yin spirits crowded in around them. Apart from a few ghastly looking suns in this part of space, the yin spirits had left none of the other stars untouched.

Lu Yun and Qing Yu were wrapped in blazing hellfire that completely concealed their traces of life. To the senses of the teeming yin spirits, they were a patch of empty void. There was nothing there.

“Whatever’s happened, there’s hope as long as they’re still alive,” Lu Yun sighed as his expression darkened with gravity. “Where the heck do these yin spirits come from?! The strength we’ve accumulated in the world of immortals won’t be able to fight them off at all!”

Though the yin spirits here were also gray, black, scarlet, purple, and silver, they were many times stronger than the ones that Lu Yun was familiar with. Many of them were empyrean, chaos, and even creator realm!

If it wasn’t for something restricting their movements and preventing them from swallowing the world of immortals, they would likely devour the entire world!

“The heavyweights of the third realm don’t want to destroy the worlds, they just want to kill everything in them and claim the world of immortals!” Qing Yu almost felt that she’d returned to the chaos when she looked around her.

She didn’t know what else existed in the cosmos, but the strength and presence that she was able to see and sense here was on par with a sacred land in the chaos. There might even be sovereigns in this part of space!

Hongjun and Fuxi both rivaled sacred monarchs, but they only dared remain on guard at Mount Buzhou. They didn’t venture a foot into the space around the world of immortals!

A battle between sovereigns could easily destroy a newly matured world. The worlds in general were just a speck of dust in the chaos at the moment, yet to fully mature. They could only be categorized as developing as they hadn’t experienced a single chaos tribulation since their formation.

This was also why those of the sacred lands were entirely relaxed and leisurely set up all sorts of plans. They were far from striking out in desperation and sending everything they had to destroy their enemy.

It would take several tens of thousands of chaos tribulations for the worlds to expand to the point of swallowing the chaos.

However, the amount of yin spirits around the world of immortals was really rather frightening Even Lu Yun and Qing Yu felt a deep sense of helplessness when they scanned the scene.

There had to be sovereigns present here. With sovereign realm powerhouses around, there would never be an end to the yin spirits here—not unless the worlds expanded to the point in which they could endure collisions between sovereigns.

But by then, those of the nine sacred lands would surely attack with everything at their disposal. They possessed their own sovereigns now, as well as the creatures born of the nine creation seeds. If allowed enough time, they would reach the level of the sacred palaces.

……

Lu Yun and Qing Yu had entered space to search for the source of yin spirits and take care of the problem at the root. But they now discovered that with their current level of strength, it was impossible for them to attain this goal.

They would have to return empty-handed even if they found the source.
