Chapter 1878: Destruction of Dragon City

Ao Hong didn’t force Lu Yun to throw his hat into the ring since the young man didn’t want the treasure. The dragon left without further question after arranging a residence for his visitor.

……

“How much of that was true and how much of it was false from the old dragon?” Lu Yun asked lazily as he stretched out on a recliner. A tiny ripple undulated beside him—the departed ghost cultivator Nightmare appeared by his side.

“It’s not like you’ll believe him even if all of it was true. You don’t trust a ghost, so why would you trust a dragon?” Nightmare curled her lip and drifted to a chair next to Lu Yun. She yawned carelessly. “Dragon City is nice and comfy. It’s not like the outside where I have to worry about dying at any second.”

“Aren’t you afraid that I might kill you without a second thought?” Lu Yun glanced sideways at the ghost. “And aren’t you supposed to be the disciple of the Dark Hell master? How are you suddenly from the Ghost Sect now?”

Instead of responding, Nightmare picked up an unknown fruit from the table and shoved it into her mouth.

“But it is false that the dragons are besieged by danger. That saying has circulated for an unknown period of time. Anyone who believes it ends up dying a very grisly death.” Nightmare vanished after swallowing the fruit.

The door to Lu Yun’s room opened after three breaths. Ao Hong came sauntering in.

“Senior,” Lu Yun hastily rose to his feet.

“Will you not consider it some more?” the dragon said thoughtfully as he looked around the room. “The treasure is relevant to a lot of matters. If you obtain it, it will greatly benefit both the ancestral god and Leize!”

“Tell me what it is first.” This time, Lu Yun sensed a strange trace of anxiety in the dragon’s thoughts. It was almost like… Ao Hong would force his hand if Lu Yun continued to refuse and make the young man fight for the treasure.

Huh. Something had certainly changed in the situation.

Ao Hong stared intently at Lu Yun for a long while before saying, “I know you didn’t trust me from beginning to end, but I don’t need your trust. I just need you to obtain the item and give it to either the ancestral god or Leize!

“And if you don’t go, Chu Xingran will die there!” The dragon still refused to say what the treasure was, but he mentioned Chu Xingran’s name at this juncture.

“Fine, I’ll go,” Lu Yun finally nodded. “Where?”𝒇r𝘦e𝘸𝒆𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝘭. 𝒄om

“The center of the World of Soul Dominion, the Soul Dominion trials!” Ao Hong enunciated carefully, still looking intently at the young man.

The corners of Lu Yun’s lips spasmed. Soul Dominion!

Such a realm of trials also existed in the fourth realm, but that one was traversed by immortal dao. It was melding with the mental world that the Dao King had refined and was slowly assimilating into the world of immortal dao sequence.

Did the Soul Dominion of this world have something to do with Mo Yi as well??

“Here are the spatial coordinates, I’m sure you’ll arrive there quickly.” Ao Hong sighed with relief after Lu Yun agreed. “The realm of trial there has been destroyed and the situation is exceedingly complex…”

“And you’re still that confident I can get this treasure?” Lu Yun was finding things odder and odder. There’d been an enormous attitude change in the dragon. Ao Hong was almost on his knees to beg Lu Yun.

He had no idea what was going on.

“Yes, only you can obtain that item!” The dragon’s chest heaved before he continued, “No more questions, you’ll know everything when you get there. The city is no longer safe, it’s been infiltrated so thoroughly there are as if one thousand holes and a hundred boils in it.”

Lu Yun started, starting to understand something.

“Go on,” Ao Hong waved his sleeve and sent the world spinning around Lu Yun. When his vision recovered, he was already outside the city.

KABOOM!!

A mushroom cloud rose into the air while a horrific explosion sounded. Lu Yun whirled around in shock. The enormous Dragon City, historic camp of the dragon race throughout the ages, was nothing but dust!

He saw Ao Hong’s death in the myriad of death information that filled his line of sight! Ao Hong was the Golden Dragon King’s father! Was he dead just like this??

Lu Yun narrowed his eyes and extended his right hand. A stick of lit incense was slowly extinguishing in it. He’d lit the incense when he entered the city, marking how long he dwelled within it.

Dragon City was no more after half an hour.

Lu Yun thought for a moment and lightly picked his way back to the city. Dragon corpses littered the ground, but closer inspection revealed that there weren’t too many geniuses among them. Most of the dead were dragons who’d exhausted their potential and couldn’t ascend further. They couldn’t become supremes and remained here to oversee the city.

“Ao Hong sent you out when he realized things were off,” Nightmare said softly as she reappeared by his side.

“Who did this?” Lu Yun asked blankly. He couldn’t understand why the dragon hadn’t evacuated his kind when he noticed the danger, and instead sent Lu Yun out?

“Dragon City is one of the strongest factions in the World of Soul Dominion, there is no one who can level it. At least, no sequence cultivator.” Nightmare looked around, noting that the city had been cleanly destroyed with one blow, leaving no traces behind. With her current level of skill, she couldn’t glean any clues from the scene.

“Also…” she raised. “I asked the sect just now whether there are any new treasures manifesting in the world. There are none. Ao Hong said all that to you just to ensure you would leave the city.”

Nightmare was a very unique existence, but for some reason, she seemed to have reached some sort of agreement with Lu Yun.

Lu Yun fished out a talisman and stuck it to a dragon horn beneath his feet. It was Ao Hong’s horn—the only part of him that he’d left behind. Whatever he’d been trying to hide or plot, he was well and truly dead.

Most were convinced that Resurrection Talismans were useless in this world. True enough, they were ineffective, but Lu Yun’s death art still worked. All he needed was half an hour. Thus, he lit another stick of incense and sat down cross legged next to the dragon horn.

“What are your thoughts now?” he suddenly said to Nightmare. “I have suppressed your core essence. If you are willing to write your name in the book, I will restore your freedom.”

Nightmare sighed. “Why are you still here? Aren’t you worried that whatever destroyed the city might come back?” She ignored what Lu Yun said.
