594: Chapter 594

The Ancient Tomb was in Chaos.

The Cultivators who had previously dared to snatch opportunities in the Ancient Tomb were now all cowering.

Some hid in ruined halls.

Some squeezed into crevices.

Others simply buried themselves in the dirt, leaving only half their heads exposed, playing dead on the premise that as long as they pretended to be dead, the Ancient Tomb would ignore them.

The reason was simple.

The Great Menace had emerged.

Although it hadn't gone on any more random killing sprees since then, no one dared to take the gamble.

Everyone was keeping a low profile.

Only Qin Yun was different.

After the Yin and Yang in the Ancient Tomb fell out of balance, many opportunities that were originally hidden deep inside were unearthed.

Severed Yin-Yang spiritual springs.

Ancient herbs buried under the rubble.

Origin fragments hidden within cracked stone walls.

And some ancient Dao Qi that would blast ordinary people into ashes at the slightest touch.

Qin Yun accepted them all without exception.

The embryonic form of his Chaos Body was completely unleashed.

The Taihuang Holy Venerable Sun Body and the Heavenly Immortal Body suppressed from his left and right.

The Body Scripture and the Immortal Sutra circulated simultaneously.

One moment, a clump of Yin fire had just burst out of a tomb passage.

The next moment, Qin Yun raised his hand and pressed it into his body.

An ancient Yang-attribute herb that had just sprouted hadn't even had time to release its fragrance.

Before he pulled it up by its roots.

An underground Yin river welled up, carrying a chill that could freeze and shatter a Divine Soul.

Qin Yun sat directly inside it.

Once seated, he wouldn't get up.

The Yin Qi in the river poured into his body.

The Yang Qi in his body pressed outward.

Yin and Yang collided.

Chaos transformed.

In the end, the entire Yin river ran dry.

Qin Yun's goal was very clear.

What he was truly looking for was the core Yin and Yang Qi of the Ancient Tomb.

So along the way, Qin Yun swept through everything while sensing his surroundings.

The azure pagoda in his Sea of Consciousness vibrated gently.

The embryonic Chaos form in his body was also heating up slightly.

With every step closer, the sensation became a bit clearer.

...

A day later.

Qin Yun stopped at a shattered sacrificial ground.

It was surrounded by broken black and white stone pillars, with a massive rift in the center.

Below the rift, two streams of Yin and Yang Qi coiled together like two great Dragons, slowly circulating.

There was no sky-soaring phenomenon.

No divine light flashed wildly.

Yet just standing at the edge, Qin Yun could feel the Origin inside him vibrating.

Found it.

Chen Yang's eyes lit up.

"This is the place."

"This mass of Yin and Yang Qi is larger than any before."

"Absorb it, and you can take another massive step forward."

"And my half-ruined body can also grow a bit more flesh."

As the embryonic form of his Chaos Body opened, the Yin and Yang Qi poured frantically into Qin Yun's body.

His aura soared all the way without a single pause.

In the end, nine dao lotuses completely took shape inside his body.

The Realm of Nine Lotuses.

It was done.

The Yin and Yang within the tomb surged.

Qin Yun sat by the edge of the rift, his body half blazing white and half deep black, with a layer of grey Chaos steadily anchoring the middle.

Chen Yang wasn't idle either.

He sat directly on the other side, using the pure Yin and Yang Qi split off by Qin Yun to continue reconstructing his ruined body.

Qin Yun stabilized his aura and stood up.

"Don't celebrate just yet."

"The commotion here is not small."

Indeed, it was not small.

The Ancient Tomb had been excessively quiet these past few days.

It was because everyone was watching.

Watching to see when Qin Yun would die.

Watching to see when The Great Menace would come out again and swallow him whole.

Yet after waiting for a few days,

The Great Menace did not show up.

Instead, Qin Yun made an even greater racket.

Opportunities vanished one by one.

Yin and Yang Qi were devoured piece by piece.

It seemed the entire Ancient Tomb was about to be emptied by him.

Those hiding in the shadows could finally sit still no longer.

At first, some still refused to believe it.

"This kid is definitely about to die."

"He's devouring happily now, but when The Great Menace comes knocking, he won't even have a place to cry."

But another day passed.

Still, nothing happened.

Thus, some began to test the waters.

They first sent out a Puppet.

It scouted all along the path Qin Yun had swept through.

When the Puppet returned, everyone saw the result.

The Great Menace was gone.

At least, its presence could no longer be sensed within the Ancient Tomb.

And those opportunities that would have normally caused countless people to fight to the death were also nearly all gone.

Fear instantly turned into greed.

"He has a secret."

"It's either a supreme treasure or some method to avoid The Great Menace."

"Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to survive until now."

"Eighty percent of the opportunities in this Ancient Tomb have probably entered his stomach."

Some were incredibly green with envy.

Soon, people from several factions quietly gathered.

"If we delay any longer, we won't even get any soup."

"Let's intercept him first."

"As for the opportunities, it'll depend on each person's ability."

"Whoever grabs it gets to keep it."

"Let's first join forces to surround him, and divide the spoils after we capture him."

No one objected.

At a time like this, grudges could be set aside.

Benefits were paramount.

Soon, a massive dragnet of encirclement was spread across the Ancient Tomb.

The entire Ancient Tomb quietly stirred.

Meanwhile, Qin Yun had also finally found the true core of the Ancient Tomb.

It was a Yin-Yang source eye buried deep underground.

The outer Restrictions were layered one after another, frighteningly dense.

Below the rift, the Yin and Yang Qi was even purer and heavier than the mass from before.

Chen Yang made a judgment with just one glance.

"If you absorb all of this Yin and Yang Qi,"

"you'll have a chance to directly touch the threshold of the Emperor Realm."

Qin Yun stared at the mass of Yin-Yang source Qi, a hint of seriousness appearing in his eyes.

Just as he raised his hand, preparing to break the Restriction,

the surroundings suddenly lit up.

Figure after figure emerged from behind ruined halls, crevices, and stone pillars.

"We thought we'd have to search around a bit more, but we didn't expect you to lead us right to this treasure land yourself."

Another person stared at the mass of Yin-Yang source Qi, his eyes filled with greed.

"Hand it over."

"Hand over everything you devoured these past few days, as well as what's here."

"And hand over your method of avoiding The Great Menace, and maybe we can leave you with an intact corpse."

Standing before the source eye, Qin Yun slowly turned around.

His expression was very calm.

"You're dreaming."

A Great Emperor Giant sneered.

"Stubbornness is useless."

"This place has already been sealed off."

"You can't escape."

"Right now, you either hand it over, or you die."

Standing beside Qin Yun, Chen Yang's newly condensed ruined body shook slightly as he prepared to strike.

However, Qin Yun raised a hand to stop him.

"No rush."

"Let me try something first."

"Try what?"

"To see if their heads are harder than a wall."

The moment the words left his mouth, Qin Yun had already spun around and pressed a palm directly onto the mass of Yin-Yang source Qi.

Boom!

The entire source eye instantly erupted in riot.

The Yin and Yang Qi seemed to be completely awakened, surging directly into the sky.

The faces of the surrounding crowd changed.

"Madman!"

"He's forcibly taking the source eye!"

"Stop him!"

Almost simultaneously, attacks rained down from all directions.

Qin Yun did not retreat.

Nor did he dodge.

With the embryonic form of his Chaos Body fully unleashed, he directly swallowed more than half of the rushing Yin-Yang source Qi in one gulp.

With this swallow, something deep within the tombs was also awakened.

Beneath the entire source eye, an ancient coffin that had slept for countless years vibrated gently.

The next moment,

Rumble!

a pressure far purer, more terrifying, and more ancient than that of The Great Menace from before rose up with a crash from the deepest part of the underground.

Everyone froze.

Chen Yang looked toward the ground, his voice changing.

"The ancient corpse..."

"The master of the tomb has awakened."
