Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 1825: Emperor of Zombies

Hell dao could restrain all yin spirits and ghostly entities, but it couldn’t contain zombies. It was Lu Yun’s tomb raiding skills that were useful against zombies, but preparations needed to be made beforehand. He’d just used everything he had.

Thus, an unending tide of zombies snarling for his flesh almost made him jump out of his skin. He never imagined that Jiang Chen—someone who hated the god of Mount Tai with every fiber of his being—would be willing to ally with his enemy!

Thank goodness Lu Yun had kept the Corpse Refiners outside of the fourth realm. Otherwise, it’d be Jiang Chen’s primary body here, not just his Bag of Corpse Refinement.

Even if he let the sect in, however, Jiang Chen would still end up choosing to work with his enemy out of common interest. Lu Yun would never give the world of sequence to him, but the god of Mount Tai would. He had no use for the Imperial Seal, much less a world of sequence. His only obsession was hell dao!

……

A tide of zombies surged forward like a landslide—the Great Formation of Corpse Refinement had become one with the zombies. Each zombie was a walking formation.

The mountain god and corpse god sprang into motion, breaking through the defenses of Leize and the others. They weren’t here to fight, they just wanted to kill Lu Yun!

The Dao King finally stirred to action and threw down a piece of beautiful jade. Shenyu appeared on the scene again. He stood next to Lu Yun and beat back vast swathes of zombies with every gesture.

Taking advantage of the lull, the four spacetime travelers also hacked their way to Lu Yun, protectively placing him in their center. Together with Shenyu, they repelled the endless zombie horde on all sides.

Meanwhile, Hongjun, Pangu, God, the Three Pure Ones, Leize, Wahuang, and Huaxu kept the god of Mount Tai preoccupied. Tianqi took the fight to the corpse god again. The others put everything they had into killing zombies in the surroundings.

“I’m going to destroy that Bag of Corpse Refinement. There’s no end to these zombies as long as it’s still there.” Fuxi looked up at the bag in midair—it was still pouring forth zombies. He stepped forward, vanishing from sight and appearing next to it.

Jiang Chen’s image appeared before he could rip it apart and slapped Fuxi back down.

“That’s your first battle zombie, isn’t it? The one that escaped from the Abyssal Hell.” Instead of reacting to the setback, Fuxi stared at the zombie that looked exactly the same as Jiang Chen.

Rumor had it that Jiang Chen was a zombie escaped from the Abyssal Hell, but that wasn’t true. He’d captured a zombie that escaped from the hell and derived corpse dao from it, thereby establishing his sect. Those stories flourished because he wanted to build a reputation and some frightful legends for himself.

If he really was a zombie escaped from hell, how would he dare set himself against the god of Mount Tai?

That legendary zombie was stored in the Bag of Corpse Refinement and showed itself at this moment, facing off against Fuxi.

A smile flitted across the mountain god’s face when he saw the zombie. He’d purposefully allowed it to escape that year. A pawn that he’d set up back in the day had now grown up and was capable of managing affairs by itself.

This was also part of the reason why Jiang Chen had been swayed to the mountain god’s side.

Three successive blows from the zombie forced Fuxi back. His face was ashen and blood dribbled out the corner of his mouth. He was no match for the zombie; it was sufficient to turn the situation around.

“You go,” Mo Yi said softly to the Dao King. “That zombie’s absorbed the core essence of the Abyssal Hell and has grown to become an emperor among zombies. It’s more terrifying than a corpse demon.”

“I’m not needed.” Surprisingly, the Dao King turned Mo Yi down. “Lu Yun’s accounted for everything, he can’t possibly have overlooked this. He must have his own plans for this zombie.”

He paused and decided to explain a bit more. “You and I should focus on concealing the traces of this battle so that those from the chief worlds don’t discover anything amiss. People from the Autumnus Realm are in this land.”

“Alright, we’ll do whatever you say,” Mo Yi nodded.

The Dao King blushed.

……

A faint smear of blood walked out from behind Lu Yun and stretched lazily. He clapped Lu Yun’s shoulder with a smile. “Thanks. If it wasn’t for you, my sister and I would forever wander the Land of Reincarnation and never remember who we are. So don’t worry, we’ll take care of that zombie for you.”

It was a man with red hair in a crimson robe, but it wasn’t the blood demon who cultivated blood dao. He was Jin Naluo!

Jin Naluo was the Hongmeng king who searched for the Blood Sea and looked to cultivate the dao of the Sanguine Hell. He was the first person to ever communicate with the Blood Sea through only his own merits—a feat that not even Lu Yun could’ve managed at the time. After all, his true self was one of the two true spirits that’d manifested in the Blood Sea.

The other one stood next to him in the form of a shapely woman.

Carmine Eternal!

The snake that Lu Yun released into the Blood Sea of the Hadal Hell was Carmine Eternal’s true form. She was the second life form in the Blood Sea and shared the same roots as Jin Naluo. After the Sanguine Hell was destroyed, brother and sister were plunged into the Land of Reincarnation.

Jin Naluo was a bit luckier and reincarnated into the Hongmeng. His path of development was smooth, whereas Carmine Eternal fell into the worlds. The world that she was reborn in was destroyed by the realm monsters in every cycle she lived through. She finally reincarnated as the daughter of Taiyi and Yinglong. When Lu Yun sent her into the Blood Sea, she regained its power.

The path that she took was much more arduous than Jin Naluo’s. And due to her association with Lu Yun, her brother nearly killed her a few times.

After Lu Yun refined the Sanguine Hell, he understood the karmic ties between the two and sent them into the Sanguine Hell. He then employed the Tome of Life and Death to help them return to their origins and recover who they once were.

Now that the zombie emperor from the Abyssal Hell had appeared, the two true spirits of the Blood Sea immediately showed themselves. They would use the power of fresh blood from the Sanguine Hell to defy the zombies of the Abyssal Hell!

Streaking forward as two bloody shadows, they rushed the zombie emperor.

A zombie emperor wasn’t a zombie king— a zombie king seized creation to reverse life and death, returning to the land of the living. A zombie emperor could only count as the strongest zombie, a ruler of zombies.

Jin Naluo and Carmine Eternal were born from the essence of the Blood Sea. They were well-matched with the zombie emperor.

“What about me? When do I get to fight?” That was Carmine Arbiter, and she was growing impatient. As a moat snake, she controlled the connate power of earth. At the same time, she’d comprehended one of the five ultimate orders—the order of life. She’d thus been granted the position of an ancestral god and ranked on par with the azure dragon ancestral god and others.
