Chapter 1170: Abyssal Hell (1/2)

Whoosh!

Scarlet flames blazed and began to disengage from the oil lamp, slowly forming a humanoid form shaped like Lu Yun. He hadn’t directed this motion, it was something that the Sanguine Flame did of its own accord.

From this, Lu Yun knew that the flame was no longer what it was before. It’d previously been the same as his own hellfire—just an impartial, objectively existing flame. But now, it’d been influenced by the corpse oil within the lamp and gradually formed an intangible wisp of consciousness.

Lu Yun didn’t plan on erasing this consciousness. If allowed to grow, it would become a true spirit sooner or later and form a soul, evolving into a true life form.

The ripples of thought from the flame felt very dependent on Lu Yun. Once they grew up into a real living being, it would be another strong helper by Lu Yun’s side. It would undoubtedly be a king of the fourth realm.

……

Boom!

The tomb of the living beneath the abyss entirely collapsed when the zombie king died. A pillar of black light rose from the bottom and pierced through the abyss, obliterating the white monkeys that covered the ground.

When the lizard-dragon saw the light, it blinked, then quickly opened its mouth and swallowed the pillar.

Rumble.

Thunder roared from the lizard-dragon’s body and all of its scales stood on end, each of them encircled by a thin layer of lightning. Its aura also instantly ballooned to a new peak.

“Little thing!” The lizard-dragon crawled down and leered down at Lu Yun in the depths. “Thanks for getting rid of that poisonous rot at the bottom! To express my gratitude, I’m going to skin you alive and strip you of your meridians to turn you into dried human! I’ll be sure to visit your grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles after that!”

All of the strength from the abyss was streaming into it. Though the nature of the abyss was just a tiny world, it was also a great treasure of the third realm. It could absolutely contend with a king of the third realm!

Dragonhollow Mountain had invested a great deal to claim the world of immortals; the abyss had been an untold toll on their resources. Though the lizard-dragon lived in the abyss, it didn’t truly control it. Due to the landmark’s manner of creation, the zombie king had been the other ruler of the depths.

With his demise, all of the strength flowed into the lizard-dragon, and the true power of the Abyss of Divine Burial showed itself.

The lizard-dragon shrank unto itself and became a meter long, changing into a half human and half lizard form.

“Little thing, let’s see you strut around now! Come on, try hitting me!” The lizard-dragon mimicked how Lu Yun had stalked toward the zombie king and approached the human with a teasing smile.

Bam!

The lizard-dragon flew backward and imprinted on the walls of the bottom of the abyss. Its left cheek was greatly swollen like a huge bun.

“What a strange request, so you have masochistic tendencies?” Lu Yun shook off his right hand and looked wordlessly at the lizard-dragon.

The newly flattened lizard-dragon stared dumbly at the human, at a loss for words or how to react. After being bolstered by the abyss’ power, it’d reached the level of a king of the Hongmeng! Why could such a puny life form still send it flying with one punch?

“Since you like being hit so much, I’ll grant your wish.” Lu Yun walked up to the lizard-dragon and dragged it off the wall by the ankle, then hammered it furiously against the ground.
