âThe Dragonquake Scripture belongs to my Inception Palace. It would be best if the princess of the Nirvana Palace refrain from becoming involved,â said the monarch of Inception Palace with a warm smile on his face.
He shifted slightly and perfectly blocked the princessâs path.
âHmph,â the princess snorted. âYou think too highly of yourself, monarch of Inception Palace! This is the Nirvana Palace!â
Each of the six sacred palaces wielded their own law of the highest order; there was no hierarchy or internal ranking between them. Though the monarch of a palace outranked a princess, he was in anotherâs territory. If Nirvana Palaceâs power was activated, it would crush even a fearsome monarch like him.
âA singular monarch of the Inception Palace is indeed insufficient to suppress you, but what if Iâm added into the mix?â A third voice sounded in the void as a sylphlike woman walked through empty air.
âMonarch of the Creation Palace!â Haughty reassurance finally slid off the princessâs face with this newcomer.
With the rulers of the Inception and Creation Palaces jointly on her doorstep, even the monarch of Nirvana Palace would have to bow his head in defeat, to say nothing of a mere princess.
âWe would invite the princess not to go anywhere. Just stay here and enjoy the comforts of home, or I canât guarantee what might happen next,â the monarch of Creation Palace said merrily and looked at her counterpart of the Inception Palace.
The princessâs expression was so foreboding that it promised a swift and painful death to whoever got in her way next. She hadnât thought that the Inception and Creation Palace would ally together against her. She could unilaterally make use of her palaceâs power to keep another palace lord at bay, but if she defied two of themâŠ
She wouldnât be able to bear the consequences.
The arrival of the second also meant that the two palaces had made full preparations and were ready for anything.
âHmph!â she snorted and left with a pompous turn of her body. Why are the monarchs of Inception and Creation Palace walking together?
Bleak thoughts filtered through her mind. The six sacred palaces had been independent since the day of their founding, with neither enmity nor alliance with each other ever on the table. It wasnât a good sign that two of them were working together now.

âWho wouldâve thought that heâd stir up so much trouble.â
Up in the void, the rulers of Inception and Creation Palace stood side by side and looked at where a clear chaos current had once flowed. The monarch of Creation Palace was naturally Huaxu.
âIâd thought he was one of the thirty six. So he hasnât come at all!â The ruler of Inception Palace shook his head. âHeâs much more shrewd than he was in the great wilderness.â
Leize and Huaxu of the great wilderness were the replicas of the rulers of Inception and Creation Palace!
âWe should go take a look as well,â Huaxu mused meaningfully. âHe has deep ties with that one. I wonder what their relationship is?â
âHe doesnât seem to be a pawn of that one. How else would the treasure exceeding the chaos end up in his hands?â
âI agree.â
They both vanished at the same time.
âŠâŠ
âPalace head!â The Nirvana princess bowed before a dark figure within Nirvana Palace. It seemed to be only a shadow; there was nothing one could make out from it. It floated in the air, but also seemed to be embedded in the void. âThe monarchs of Creation and Inception PalaceâŠâ
âAlright, thatâs enough.â The voice of Nirvanaâs monarch was wispy, intangible, and completely emotionless. It was also impossible to determine what gender it was.
âThe six of us laid out this plan long ago and you will not disrupt it.â Two beams of dark light shot out from the shadow and fell upon the princess. âI donât care if you make a play for the Dragonquake Scripture or the ascension opportunity, but if you dare ruin our plans, Iâll kill you.â
The princess shuddered with fear.
âIf that person isnât a chaos dragon, then who is he?â She remained kneeling on the floor after the palace head left. âRuin your plans? Hehehehe, not only am I going to ruin your plans, I want you all dead!â
A disquieting smile stretched across her face.

Lu Yun was still delivering a hefty beating to Chi Wuxia in front of the Tomb of Heaven and Life. By now, heâd run through the gamut of everything heâd theorized over the past fifteen years. All sorts of fantastical combat arts soared through the void, but he perfectly controlled the amount of force so that he wouldnât really kill his punching bag.
Chi Wuxia had viewed this as a kind of tempering at firstâheâd never imagined that the other would torment him in all sorts of ways like this!
As steady as his mental state was, he truly wanted to self detonate to end this humiliation. However, he was completely under the chaos dragonâs control.
Craaaaack crack craaaack.
After twisting all of Chi Wuxiaâs limbs into tiny pieces, Lu Yun tossed the young lord aside like a sack of garbage.
âI would kill you right now if you didnât have a soul lamp protecting you. Your mother may be of the sacred clan, but youâre nothing but a filthy slug.â Lu Yun curled his lip at Chi Wuxia. âDonât think you can do whatever you want just because you have a prestigious mother. There are so many in the chaos who can kill you like popping a stink bug. Youâre just a slug oozing on the ground, understood?â
Heâd slaughtered all of the others from the fire elemental land. It wouldnât be the style of a chaos dragon if he didnât.
Of course, the Tome of Life and Death swallowed anyone he killedâwhether chaos creature or of the realms. They entered hell and were reborn in a Hell Flower, becoming a new denizen of the underworld.
Lu Yun was the absolute authority figure in this part of the chaos now. Chi Wuxia seemed to rip a hole in the chaos through the force of his glare alone, but he clenched his teeth tightly and didnât talk back.
âAnd you still dare glare at me?â Lu Yun walked up to him. âThe Tomb of Heaven and Earth is at hand, why donât you go scout the way?â
He shifted backward and punted Chi Wuxiaâs sorry form into the gray current. There was no further sound from the young lord.
âWho else dares kill my men?â As Lu Yun scanned the surroundings with a piercing stare, the quaking cultivators didnât dare meet his eyes. Huo Shentong couldnât stop his knees from shaking.
We thought we had a unique relationship with the sacred palaces and that they were our patron. We thought that we could ignore the sacred clan⊠but we forgot that the palaces belong to the clan! He inwardly berated himself.
âŠâŠ
Gurgle.
A very strange noise came from the tomb as the turbulent air current suddenly split apart to reveal an enormous door. It resembled the maw of some massive imp, just waiting for chaos creatures to walk into its treacherous depths.
