Chapter 1708: This World is Too Dangerous

Since the fragment of the true Ruina was stored in the kingdom of hell, the dao of Ruina also became part of Lu Yun’s hell dao. However, he wasn’t able to borrow its strength like he could the Abyssal Hell.

His hell dao was based on the six hells. Ruina existed outside of the six, and he wasn’t able to influence the four Ruinas in front of him with just a fragment of the core Ruina.

The sea in front of them was plainly a dead sea. There was no vitality in it and death information filled it. While Haidong Lin and Chu Xingran hadn’t detected abnormalities in the water, Lu Yun was exceptionally sensitive to death since he cultivated hell dao.

An enormous hand made of water reached out of the ocean as soon as he spoke and made grasping motions for the trio. It was at least tenth level sequence!

Frightened out of their wits, the three quickly shot into the sky.

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

Hands exploded from the water surface and flailed around like they were tentacles. An immense shadow had appeared in the depths at some point. It looked like a massive fish.

“What, the fuck. Ghost Yanking Feet!” Lu Yun cursed. If the shadow beneath them looked like a fish and could release these tentacles, creating a layout of Ghost Yanking Feet.. that could only be a corpsefish! [1] His party had almost died to a humongous corpsefish in the burial mound of Myriad Formation Summit!

What was one doing here?!

Living beings who died without just cause in water would not rot away because their resentment wouldn’t dissipate. If fish ate them, the fish would gain a human face and become the medium for the bitterness, constantly searching out for someone to die in their stead.

If the fish’s tentacles were each tenth level sequence, how strong was the fish?!

Corpsefish differed from zombies and were, in fact, more terrifying because they were a layout unto themselves. If the trio was caught in a Ghost Yanking Feet layout, they wouldn’t be able to struggle free.

Thousands of tentacles waved in the air, filling the void with hands. The three scurried for safety, shooting higher and higher until the tentacles retreated into the sea.

“The last one I saw wasn’t that strong, so it was enough to sever its tentacles from afar. But this one here..” Lu Yun shuddered.

There would be no problem if it was simply thousands of tenth level sequence zombies. But these tentacles were the equivalent of formations, which meant their attacks would be easily dissolved by the layout.

“There’s land over there.” Haidong Lin suddenly pointed to the northwest.

“Don’t go there!” Lu Yun shuddered again when he scanned the area with the Spectral Eye. “That’s not land, that’s a ginormous corpse!”

The corpse that seemed so much like land was fully revealed to his death art. Corpse qi emanated from it and a miasma of corpse poison drifted around it. They would instantly die of poison if they dared set foot on the corpse.

“A.. seventeenth level sequence expert..” Lu Yun said slowly. That corpse belonged to a seventeenth level sequence expert that’d died a long time ago!

Seventeen levels of sequence!!

The strongest powerhouse in the Land of Reincarnation was the original emperor, and he’d been at eighteen! Even the Sea Emperor was only fifteen.

A body that belonged to a seventeenth level expert casually laid here! Lu Yun suddenly felt that this world was too dangerous; Haidong Lin and Chu Xingran’s expressions also flickered rapidly.

Chu Xingran immediately gave up the notion of leaving. He’d wanted to break away from Lu Yun’s company, but it was far too dangerous to wander around by himself. He would die a horrible and grisly death before he even knew what happened.

The yang tomb was so much more dangerous than the yin tomb.

The trio was now one hundred fifty million kilometers above the sea. That placed them in a zone of relative safety and outside of the corpsefish’s attack range. One hundred and fifty million seemed very far away, but it wasn’t much in the scope of the infinitely large yang tomb. It was just a short hop at best.

The corpsefish stared covetously up at them and the dead body close at hand exuded terrible corpse poison at every second. Lu Yun stood quietly in the air and utilized formula destiny to determine their next move.

Caw caw caw.

Piercing calls traveled from the distance, followed by a flock of big black birds that were rotting and flared auras of decay. They rushed the trio like a patch of thunderclouds. The rotten birds were pure black and each bird roughly three hundred meters long. Although their wings had decomposed, they still approached at a high speed.

“Run!” Lu Yun screamed and threw himself in the southeast direction. His calculations had just told him that this was a zone of death, that their demise was almost a surefire thing. The only hope lay to the southeast, relatively speaking. Great danger abounded in the southeast as well, it was just a little bit safer compared to the other cardinal directions.

Haidong Lin brought out his beloved bident and became one with it, following close behind Lu Yun and Chu Xingran. It was here that he realized he’d really become a burden.

Chu Xingran fled on the back of his sword, flying faster than Lu Yun, but he remained head-to-head with the young man. Lu Yun’s side was the safest in a place like this.

“A dragon sleeps in mountains coiled, those deathly cliffs with mysteries roiled!” Golden light blossomed from his body as Lu Yun quietly chanted the Dragonsearch Invocation. He suddenly stopped and took one step below the group.

Boom!

The surface exploded with dragons of energy that lifted something from the water—the immense corpsefish!

Lu Yun had used the Dragonsearch Invocation to activate the Dragonquake Scripture and call upon the dragon veins beneath the ocean. They hauled up the corpsefish, fully exposing its writhing and snarling mess in the air. Hair like tentacles waved wildly, extending in all directions. The range of their attack had been one hundred and fifty million kilometers, but it was extended after Lu Yun lifted it up.

“Are you mad?!” Chu Xingran and Haidong Lin were nearly caught by the tentacles; the former cursed loudly as he evaded each one by the skin of his teeth.

Lu Yun swept his hands through the air and threw the corpsefish at the birds. The air rang overwhelmingly with the roars of the corpsefish and shrieks of the birds as the two sides met in battle. Both of them gave up on the other three tiny existences in the sky.

“There’ll be nothing left of us if those birds surround us!” Color drained from Haidong Lin’s face when he looked back. The terrifying corpsefish had been devoured by the flock of birds!

The fish as large as a continent became a pile of bones in only a few hundred breaths.
