Chapter 1707: The Yang Tomb
Chu Xingran was alive and well, but for the Land of Reincarnation, he’d vanished upon the wind.
It was similar to a person’s soul entering hell as a ghost after their death. Though they lived on in a different fashion, they were considered dead by living beings.
If Lu Yun wanted to, he could keep the karmic relationship intact and continue his feud with Chu Xingran. But that wouldn’t do him any good.
He’d possessed an eighty percent chance of killing the Curse King, but hadn’t taken action because the remaining twenty percent was attributed to Chu Xingran. Now that the Curse King was Chu Xingran again, Lu Yun stood no chance of killing his once rival.
……
“He’s not going to kill us, is he? He’s incredibly strong!” Haidong Lin asked worriedly and cast a wary look at Chu Xingran when the dust settled.
“No,” Lu Yun shook his head. “We’re enemies with the Curse King, but have nothing with Chu Xingran.”
The Curse King was dead and their karmic ties severed. Chu Xingran nodded as well, but fidgeted uncomfortably the next second. The other two were looking up and down his body with suspicion.
“I. am. a. man! Don’t look at me like that!” he bawled.
“But you seem like a woman no matter how I cut it…” Lu Yun scratched his head and let his eyes wander to Chu Xingran’s lower body.
“Stay focused on proper business!” The man grit his teeth. “If you have the chance to go to the outside world and visit Darklake, I’ll tell you then whether I’m a man or woman.”
“Pfft,” Lu Yun curled his lip. “I’m just concerned you’ll make a play for my dao partners. Let’s go, the tomb of the living has been destroyed and the zombie farms are gone. The master behind Jiang Kui’s zombies probably knows what’s happened here, there’s no point in us staying further.” He waved his hand. “Let’s go to the yang tomb!”
The intersection of the yin and yang tombs was the world of sequence. It was where yin and yang came together, and also where they separated. Even though the two tombs were accessible at that point, it wouldn’t be easy to cross over the two.
“Chen Xiao and Qing Buyi arrived here two hundred years ago, so that means the world of sequence is close to maturity,” Lu Yun murmured to himself. He opened the Gates of the Abyss and set the other side for the world of sequence. The three filed in and headed straight for the exit.
The world of sequence hung in the endless darkness as a massive ball of light. Lu Yun could sense the Sanguine Hell, Hadal Hell, and Nihil Hell from its surface. There was no Netherdark Hell; it’d become the passage between the underworld and world of immortals, and its strength manifested as Violetgrave.
The other three graves were like the Abyssal Hell, all yin tombs. Lu Yun had thought that the overarching tomb was built off of the Abyssal Hell because he’d been too inexperienced to see through the heart of the matter.
Whoever had fashioned these tombs had turned all of the hells into yin tombs! The yang tomb was most likely derived from a massive world that wasn’t itself a hell.
“Is the yang tomb… the Firmament Prison?” Lu Yun looked at Chu Xingran.
“No,” he shook his head. “The Firmament Prison was completely destroyed a long time ago. The fragment I gave you is the last trace of it. The yang tomb should be Ruina.
“There are four instances of Ruina, one for each cardinal direction. They’re all derived from the real Ruina, and the real Ruina is…” He looked back at Lu Yun.
The young man quickly understood. Lin Mo had taken the real Ruina to the realm monster and derived a new world of Ruina from it. It now rested in the kingdom of hell, but there was an even more startling implication behind it.
Mo Yi had created Ruina.
According to Lin Mo’s words, Mo Yi had created the Ruina in the sea with a casual flip of her hand. So what kind of person was Mo Yi??
“No matter who she is, she dies for me in all of the loops. It’s time to change her fate once and for all.” Lu Yun hadn’t observed mere images or parallel space in the thirty-three cycles. Everything had truly taken place in the past and that version of him had personally experienced all that he’d seen!
It was a never-ending cycle of death and rebirth, and if it wasn’t for the Tome of Life and Death, Lu Yun would’ve followed his previous trajectories again and repeat everything once more.
……
“How do we get across?” Haidong Lin interrupted Lu Yun’s thoughts. Chu Xingran waited quietly for an answer.
Lu Yun waved a hand and manifested a stone bridge—the Bridge of Forgetfulness.
“Master!” Since it couldn’t take human form, it manifested a human face on the bridge as soon as it appeared. Tianqi had created it as an ultimate treasure of hell. Therefore, it could communicate with any hell.
The distance between the yin and yang tombs was enormous and guarded by a fearsome boundary. The Gates of the Abyss couldn’t bridge the gap, so the Bridge of Forgetfulness had to fill the role.
Although its cultivation level was only in the fourth realm, its marvelous powers were greater than the Gates of the Abyss. With a slight shake, it connected the two tombs.
“Master, the restrictions of these two voids are too great, I can only maintain this for three breaths!” it said urgently.
Lu Yun and the others had already vanished.
……
Boundless seawater appeared in front of them—Haidong Lin almost thought they’d returned to the World of Sea.
“This is the yang tomb?” Lu Yun blinked after he sent the bridge back. Although the yang tomb was derived from the four Ruinas, it should’ve looked somewhat different.
“It’s His Imperial Majesty!” Haidong Lin suddenly smiled happily. “This great sea is his kingdom! This is the Sea Emperor’s territory!” He prepared himself to search for his emperor.
“Don’t move!” Lu Yun’s expression shifted drastically and he enveloped them all with hadal hellfire, obscuring their life signs.
“The Imperial Seal isn’t here and neither is the Sea Emperor,” Lu Yun shook his head. “I’m sensing that the Sea Emperor should be with the original emperor. This kingdom of the sea is completely lifeless. It’s an ocean of death.
“The Sea Emperor wouldn’t manifest this kind of water unless he was dead. It’s something else’s territory!”
The Bridge of Forgetfulness hadn’t placed them next to the world of sequence. It was too dangerous there. They would become a common target as soon as they appeared and be attacked by all. Thus, Lu Yun had chosen somewhere further away.
