Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 2092: Unwilling To Be Lonely

The strengthening of formula dao and improvement of Lu Yun’s strength was most likely to be found in these repeated instances of death. He just hadn’t realized it yet, so he’d stopped to discuss terms with the tomb owner.

If he realized it, he would likely change tactics and purposefully enrage the tomb owner so he could ensure the repeated deaths. With the tomb owner growing irritated, Lu Yun was equally annoyed himself.

Does this chump think dying and coming back to life again and again is fun?

“Is that so?” Unmoved, the tomb owner manifested a human face in the air—a woman’s face. Long hair trailed past sparkling eyes and she was pretty on the whole, but the dense air of death shone between her brows. She was plainly dead.

“Then die a few more times.” She didn’t believe the young man.

KABOOM!

Lu Yun exploded again.

……

Rumble!

On his eighteen thousandth death, a ball of white flames rushed out of Lu Yun’s body and set him on fire. The tomb owner’s approaching power was dispersed by the power of reincarnation.

“Thank you.”

Lu Yun looked up to see a male face, one with a greatly relieved expression on his face. The young man had only realized his strength was climbing when he neared his eighteen thousandth death. After that, he began actively provoking the tomb owner.

What he didn’t understand now was why the woman’s face had turned into a man’s face. Was the tomb owner a man or a woman?

None of it mattered.

The power of reincarnation pierced through Lu Yun’s body and replaced the immortal force circulating inside him. The fire of reincarnation ignited a page of gold, turning him translucent. Even the Dragonquake Scripture stirred to life.

“You’re curious, aren’t you, why I’ve turned from a woman into a man?” the tomb owner chuckled. “Because I am you right now.”

A figure landed from the air—a limber, handsome young man who looked the same as Lu Yun!

“Did you think you were the only one plotting away?” the tomb owner chortled. “A tomb is a world of the dead. Even if you possess the power of reincarnation, this tomb becomes your tomb if you die here too many times.

“While you tried to provoke me and bade me take you through life and death to enhance your strength, I was borrowing your deaths at the same time. I used the power of death they created to escape from this tomb!

“You will be the new tomb owner in my stead and be buried here. I am finally free to reincarnate!! Hahahaha!!” The tomb owner threw its head back with unbridled laughter. Although it was dead, it was no fool. As an unparalleled powerhouse, it had its own plans.

So what if Lu Yun grew stronger? He would be buried here in the end. The characters of “Lu Yun’s Tomb” on the tombstone were the foreshadowing.

The tomb owner craved life. He wouldn’t hesitate to leap at even a chance of becoming a mortal with less than a hundred years of life. His core essence was powerful and he wouldn’t lose himself when he reincarnated. He would retain his memories and swiftly restart cultivation. It would only be a matter of time before he reached his previous heights.

“Uh huh.” Lu Yun nodded slowly and smirked at the tomb owner. “Your plan was very successful, but there’s one last step left to it, isn’t there?”

“Yes,” the tomb owner nodded. It looked very similar to Lu Yun, but there were a few minute differences. The final step left was to kill Lu Yun with its own hands and bury the young man here!

Anyone else—even the temple masters—would’ve already been buried by the rules of the tomb. But Lu Yun wielded reincarnation and had become one with it. He was reincarnation and reincarnation was Lu Yun, so the tomb owner needed to personally take action and utilize the rules of the tomb to buy the young man.

“I will now personally bury you here and leave, regaining my long awaited freedom and life!” The tomb owner couldn’t control the joy on his face.

“Mmhmm,” Lu Yun nodded. “Can I ask you a question before that? Will I find the way to end the great destruction if I defeat you?”

Black light sparkled from the tomb owner’s eyes and it stared at Lu Yun for a long moment before sighing. “Why are you so stubborn? Or is it as the others say, that you really are a saint?

“Reincarnation is the rule of all living things. Death and destruction, unceasing, unabating. That is the rule—just as this nothing undergoes a reincarnation of new life to destruction. As the manifestation of reincarnation, will you go against who you are?”

After repeated deaths and rebirths, the tomb owner already knew everything there was to know about Lu Yun’s life.

“I am no saint,” the young man shook his head. “I don’t know why people call me that either. My friends, family, and dao partners all live here. If the nothing perishes and we alone survive, what is the point in that?

“We would only face unending loneliness.

“I don’t want to be lonely and I don’t want my dao partners, friends, and family to be lonely travelers. Therefore, I will protect everything here so that no one is lonely,” Lu Yun concluded. “You just need to tell me if I will find the solution or not.”

He’d discovered a problem early on. The great destruction of the nothing was not part of the rhythm of reincarnation. It was all due to the abruptly appearing barrier of nothing—an accidental destruction.

It wasn’t part of reincarnation as reincarnation followed the six orders of the highest degree—inception, ethos, burgeon, creation, opposition, and nirvana. The barrier of nothing forcefully interposed itself during the process of burgeon and incited nirvana in a violent fashion. Life was yet to progress to creation when it was forced into nirvana.

This was a violation of reincarnation.

“No,” the tomb owner shook its head. “You will not find the way to end the great destruction even if you defeat me. That is possible only if you travel to the reality on the other side… But the situation there may be worse than here.”

A strange smile crossed the tomb owner’s face.

“Alright then… I’ll have to figure out how to get there and take a look,” Lu Yun sighed.

“You’ll never have the chance to.”

Boom!

Dense death qi unfurled from the tomb owner’s body and formed a massive spear that stabbed at Lu Yun.

“Heavenfall?? Who are you?!” Lu Yun gasped when he saw the weapon. Heavenfall was God’s weapon!

The tomb owner stabbed the spear forward instead of answering, piercing through Lu Yun’s body with formidable death qi. The young man shook and transformed into white flames, vacating the premises.

He glowered at the tomb owner.

“Don’t worry, I’m not God.” The tomb owner grinned, victory within its grasp.
