Chapter 1158: Great Peak of the Five (1/2)

“What’s… on the other side of the fissure?” Lu Yun’s heart spasmed painfully.

The crack was too large—it was bigger than the entire world of immortals! Perhaps it even ripped the cosmos of the world in half.

Was it manmade or naturally occurring?

The space inside it likely dwarfed the worlds and it wasn’t possible that someone of the sacred lands had created it. If they could tear such a large rip through the stars, then they could’ve hewn the world of immortals in half a long time ago.

No, someone of the third realm was behind it!

Heavyweights of the third realm supported the sacred lands from the shadows. They’d sent their own disciples to the chaos through the creation seeds. These disciples were supposed to slowly nurture their own power through the creation seeds, but Lu Yun’s appearance and blocking the sacred lands had forced their hand before the best timing.

The nine possessed battle strength on par with the sacred monarchs when they were just sixth level mortal realm. If they reached sovereign realm… they’d be the ones ruling the chaos.

So it couldn’t be them behind the fissure.

Lu Yun felt enormous pressure when he stood in front of the rip. It was one thing if the heavyweights of the Hongmeng fought for their own interests and plotted against each other. But from the looks of this, they seemed to be considering allying together.

The only thing he could be thankful for was that these third realm powerhouses couldn’t enter the chaos or the worlds.

Lu Yun swept the Spectral Eye toward the fissure and saw that evil, sinister winds gusted inside. An disquieting air permeated it, just like how the Hadal Hell had once appeared.

The Hadal Hell had later been refined by the Tome of Life and Death and firmly stuck to the hell of human dao. It’d given birth to the netherdark, human hell, and the current kingdom of hell. Its core essence was now part of the world of immortals and had become the overall potential of the worlds.

The world within the fissure, however, was as if a Hadal Hell that’d never been touched. Ravening, turbulent energy ravaged through it, afflicting all of the yin spirits it touched.

Lu Yun glowered at the sight. He wanted to go in and see what the world was like, but he was shocked to discover that his dao heart, normally as steady as a boulder, was shaking.

He was afraid!

The terrifying presence that that world exuded shook him to the bone. His was an instinctual fear of a living being, as if there was something there that could devour every last trace of him.

There were no ripples of indication from the Tome of Life and Death, though he quailed from this primal fear. The Tome of Life and Death was an unknown treasure that represented a certain pattern, a kind of rule, and a type of order. It didn’t possess its own thoughts and the power it deployed was a function of Lu Yun’s strength.

That had been the case when Lu Yun forced the revival of Fuxi. He’d bestirred a certain rule within the treasure that triggered the power within the Tome of Life and Death. Though he was currently afraid, the book wouldn’t appear to protect its master in the absence of any tangible danger.

“Well then, let’s go inside and see what kind of place this is!” Lu Yun grit his teeth and forced down the terror circling around his heart. He sat down in front of the fissure and ignited hellfire over his body.

One of his image projections appeared in front of him.
