Chapter 1177: Skin is Thin, Lots of Meat, and Really Juicy (1/2)

Boom!

A huge hand came crashing down on Lu Yun. It didn’t even want to grab him, just smack him into meat mush!

A sovereign!

The hand came from a sovereign of a nine sacred land. Lu Yun was but peak empyrean realm, his arts of concealment didn’t fool a sovereign at all.

“Heh heh heh!” Lu Yun leered to see the hand come down on him.

Whoosh!

An enormous black pit opened up beside him and swallowed up the hand.

“Another toy,” mumbled the lizard-dragon as it hauled the rest of the sovereign into the hole.

It didn’t think that Lu Yun couldn’t defeat the sovereign. Rather, it was that his new master couldn’t be bothered with getting his hands dirty. Since it was a new addition to its master’s roster, the lizard-dragon had to find opportunities to prove its value.

Thus, it was very happy to handle minor tasks like these.

Many more followed in the sovereign’s wake; all of them landed within the abyss and became the lizard-dragon’s new toys. Some other immortals that’d discovered Lu Yun and wanted to rush over stopped dead when they saw the outcome of the first group.

Lu Yun turned back, coldly stared them down, and continued for the gate that led to the Dubiety Realm.

“He… what kind of person is the Inception sacred prince? That was three sovereigns! He swallowed them all without a struggle!” Gasps of shock abounded in the onlookers.

Those sovereigns had once been eternal overlords who’d painstakingly suppressed their cultivation and bided their time in the sacred lands. Now that they had powerful backers of their own, they no longer needed to borrow their heads to pressure from the sacred palaces. Thus, the eternal overlords all broke through to sovereign realm one after another and now did battle in the six palaces.

……

Lu Yun couldn’t be bothered with the others casting hostile looks his way. There was no point in having the lizard-dragon kill them; all would be resolved once he sealed the Dubiety Realm again.

So had the experts of the Creation Palace realized the crux of the issue, but a strange power had made the gate inaccessible. It allowed only exit without entrance, thereby enabling chaos beasts to walk out, but barred anyone from entering the realm.

Even the palace experts could do nothing about this strange seal; they could only take down whatever chaos beasts that walked out.

Chaos beasts were bloodthirsty and savage. They fed on chaos creatures, possessed intelligence, but lacked civilization. They were unenlightened, just like the fur seals of old in the West Sea of the world of immortals.

If they charged en masse into the chaos, they could easily cause mass extinction in the realm. Most importantly, they could withstand the energy of the worlds.

Those of the nine sacred lands had once tried domesticating chaos beasts to destroy the worlds, but the stronger beasts proved impossible to tame. Not only did they devour the heavyweights of the worlds, but they also ate the people of the sacred lands.

Thus, the sacred lands gave up on the notion and only dared capture some mortal realm chaos beasts to train.
