Chapter 231: Instantly Clear!
“ROAR!”
Between the vast, primeval heavens and earth.
Lu Qingyang skimmed carefully and low over an endless grassland.
His ears were filled with all kinds of beast cries.
From time to time, massive dark shadows swept past in the distance, making his eyelids twitch wildly.
“This world really does look a bit like the Primordial World.”
Lu Qingyang muttered.
He had been out for two years now, yet he still had not discovered any clue about this world.
He only knew that this realm was called the Chaotic Dharma Realm, and it was vast beyond measure.
The Human Race was sparse; he might not even encounter a single fellow clansman in a year.
Moreover, he had not found that retrievable item which had first appeared in the Simulation — the Blade Horn.
“Strange. By rights, this thing should obviously be something that would definitely appear in Return to True.”
“I picked it up at twenty in the Simulation. How long has it been now? Why hasn’t it appeared yet?”
Lu Qingyang muttered with a frown.
He now cared a great deal about this treasure from the Simulation.
Especially after guessing that his previous life was very likely a sliver of Pangu’s will, he valued this Blade Horn even more.
He now even boldly speculated that the Blade Horn was very possibly a fragment of the legendary Heaven-Opening Axe!
If that were truly the case, he absolutely had to obtain it!
Even if, the moment he picked it up, Return to True immediately ended.
“Bzz!”
Just as Lu Qingyang was pondering, a rumbling sound suddenly echoed once more from the depths of his soul.
Immediately after, an unfamiliar image surfaced.
Only, unlike last time.
In this image, that majestic figure seemed to have already completed the great feat of splitting heaven and earth apart.
But faced with the empty heavens and earth, that majestic figure was clearly dissatisfied.
And so Lu Qingyang watched helplessly as the breath the figure exhaled became the winds and clouds of the four seasons.
His eyes became the blazing sun and the dark moon…
“Huff! Huff… again…”
Lu Qingyang’s lips trembled.
The image in his mind flashed past and soon returned to calm.
Yet it left him feeling extremely unwell.
Unease, heart palpitations, dread — a host of negative emotions assailed him all at once.
It even caused faint tremors in his cultivation realm.
Lu Qingyang struggled violently within.
Only after a long while did he gradually calm down.
No. I can’t delay any longer.
The images are appearing more and more frequently, and my soul is growing weaker and weaker.
I have to hurry and find that place called Sun-Moon Peak from the Simulation.
Lu Qingyang recalled the Simulation process.
In the Simulation, he had gone to a place called Sun-Moon Peak.
There, his soul seemed to have undergone some kind of sublimation.
If he did not find that miraculous place soon, his soul would likely collapse completely, and he would die with no burial ground.
Lu Qingyang didn’t dare delay any longer.
Though he didn’t know where Sun-Moon Peak was.
Yet in the dark, some unseen guidance seemed to be leading him toward a certain direction.
Just as in the Simulation.
“Whoosh!”
His figure flew swiftly across the wilderness.
“ROAR!”
“Awooo!”
“Caw!”
…
All kinds of fierce birds and savage beasts roared, their hoarse bellows unending.
Lu Qingyang followed the guidance, weaving through the vast wilderness.
His footsteps never stopped.
As time passed, the number of fierce beasts he encountered only grew.
There were even occasional packs of savage beasts blocking his path, trying to tear him to shreds.
But thankfully, this world seemed to hold a special favor toward him.
Whenever he was about to encounter danger, he would always inexplicably evade the crisis.
This made Lu Qingyang let out a breath of relief.
His cultivation was already low; if he were to be surrounded again, it would truly be trouble.
After all, in this world, his current cultivation was genuinely too weak.
Finally, after nearly twenty years of rapid flight, crossing a long stretch of desolate wilds.
Lu Qingyang’s eyes suddenly lit up!
At the end of his vision, he seemed to faintly see a mountain peak piercing the clouds.
The peak was exceedingly majestic, soaring straight into the nine heavens, as if it would pierce the firmament.
More importantly, the mountain’s location was extremely special.
It seemed to stand at the very center of the earth, separating the blazing sun above from the dark moon.
“Sun-Moon Peak.”
Lu Qingyang murmured, joy rising in his eyes.
“Whoosh!”
He tapped lightly with his toes, his figure instantly erupted from the earth, shooting toward Sun-Moon Peak.
Yet just as he was about to approach Sun-Moon Peak.
A sinister, icy gale swept toward him.
Lu Qingyang’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly halted.
But just as he steadied himself and looked up.
His pupils contracted sharply, his face stricken with shock.
Ten thousand meters ahead of him.
A ferocious Winged Serpent bared its fangs and claws, its forked tongue flicking as it exuded a nauseating stench.
Its body was enormous, its scales grim and cold.
Strangest of all, its entire body was pitch-black, flowing with dark radiance.
Especially on its forehead, where there was a small yet sharp metallic Blade Horn.
At this moment, the Blade Horn bloomed with crimson radiance, releasing a frigid killing intent.
And above the Blade Horn, a hazy blood mist shrouded it.
Within the spreading blood mist, a massive crimson snake head emerged.
Its snake pupils were red as blood, revealing a bloodthirsty, cruel gaze.
“A Great Vehicle-level demon beast!”
Looking at this ancient savage beast, Lu Qingyang’s brows furrowed tightly.
Though he was currently only at Void Return, with the backing his old man had given him, he naturally had no fear of this mere Great Vehicle-level demon beast.
If he wished, he could even avoid it in the blink of an eye.
Only…
Why do I keep feeling that not slaying this beast would leave some regret?
Lu Qingyang’s brows were locked, somewhat hesitant.
He didn’t understand why he would have such a feeling.
But he knew this was absolutely not unfounded.
In Simulation Return to True, any sensation could absolutely not be fabricated from nothing!
There had to be a reason behind it!
“Swoosh~”
His body flickered.
In the end, he made his decision.
“Fine, I’ll slay it first and think later. There’s no reason not to act.”
“Sssk—!”
Almost the instant Lu Qingyang’s words fell.
That Winged Serpent’s eyes contracted abruptly, and a dense ferocity burst forth from within.
Its wings beat fiercely, and its massive body instantly turned into an afterimage, shooting toward Lu Qingyang.
Its speed was extreme, impossible to catch with the naked eye.
“Boom!”
Its massive tail carved through the void, bringing with it a violent gale and frigid killing intent.
In an instant, it smashed the ground where Lu Qingyang had been into a scene of mountains collapsing and earth splitting.
And it swept toward Lu Qingyang with the force to shatter clouds.
“Hissss!”
Its crimson snake pupils flickered, revealing excitement, its forked tongue flicking without pause.
As if it had seen a delicacy, its eyes were filled with craving.
“Heh!”
Lu Qingyang chuckled.
“Clack!”
In the next moment, his right hand thrust out abruptly, and a plain Beast Bone appeared in his grasp.
Human Immortal-level pressure instantly poured out.
The Winged Serpent’s pupils, in that very instant, turned clear…
