Chapter 1176: The Sacred Palaces Fall (1/2)

There was no fear or shock on the ghost ancestor’s face, just great confusion. It didn’t understand why the abyss had fallen into Lu Yun’s hands, and why the lizard-dragon in its depths was helping the human.

The lizard-dragon exceeded the chaos and was second only to the kings in the third realm. As strong as the ghost ancestor was, it was only an ant in front of that being and thus easily dragged into the abyss.

……

Down in the depths, the lizard-dragon reared up and looked down its nose at the ghost ancestor.

“Master Lizard-Dragon?” carefully asked the very humble ghost ancestor.

“Mm.” The lizard-dragon flicked its tail, sending the ghost ancestor tumbling head over heels.

Smack!

The ghost ancestor cowered on the ground and looked up at its master, not daring to say anything.

Smack!

Another flick of the tail sent the ghost ancestor flying out again.

Thunk!

The ghost ancestor slammed heavily into a cliff face and slowly slid to the ground. Before it could respond, the lizard-dragon snapped another tail whip over and sent the ghost ancestor flying again.

Feeling immensely wronged, it had no idea what had happened to inspire this abrupt abuse. On the other hand, the tail flicking didn’t hurt and only sent it careening into the walls again and again.

How would the ghost ancestor know what kind of suffering the lizard-dragon had endured these days?

The lizard-dragon had thought that only Lu Yun possessed the level of perverse strength that allowed the human to bully it at will. But after entering the kingdom of hell through the Gates of the Abyss, the lizard-dragon found itself still used for target practice.

Its vaunted cultivation realm and strength were the butt of all jokes. Any random seventeen-year-old-looking girl in the netherworld could trounce it and beat its face into the ground. There was also a strange little dragon with three heads and three tails that flicked the lizard-dragon around like a ball.

Things had gotten to the point where the lizard-dragon wondered if something was wrong with its health. Had it somehow lost most of its strength?

Now that it was able to easily wipe the floor with the sovereign realm ghost ancestor, its heart sank enormously.

Kings!

Those freaks in the kingdom of hell were all kings of the Hongmeng!

A king wasn’t a cultivation realm, but a title. No matter the cultivation level, one could be hailed a king of the Hongmeng as long as one possessed the requisite battle strength. Those beings in hell who could stomp all over the lizard-dragon were all kings!

The lizard-dragon was almost crying in fear now. If it’d known that the world of immortals was so strong, it would’ve never accepted this mission!

All it could do now was vent its frustrations on the ghost ancestor and regain a bit of its confidence this way.
