Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 2111: Hunting a Ghost Zombie King

Lu Yun traveled through the land during the day and returned to the city to rest at night, or to fend off ghost zombies.

This world was many times more terrifying at night. There were no ghost zombies during the day, but they blotted out the land at night. Lu Yun still wasn’t able to survive in this world on his own even though his strength had risen to incredible heights.

Thankfully, the ghost zombies attacked once every three to five days, as opposed to every night.

The young man had fully repaired the city’s formation and transformed it into one of heaven and earth. It was fully self sufficient and would endure eternally so long as it didn’t encounter an existence like a zombie king.

With an internal circulation of heaven and earth inside the formation, all of its energy was converted again and again for repeated usage. Not a single drop was wasted. Of course, energy was consumed when the ghost zombies attacked. That sort of energy needed to be replenished.

Lu Yun explored every nook and cranny within five billion kilometers and found numerous fragments of the strength of heaven and earth. He infused them into the formation while keeping any crystals condensed out of the strength for his own usage.

Yuan Yi and Wang Shu’s strength leapt forward. Though they’d yet to reach the stage of an external circulation of heaven and earth, Yuan Yi was more than ten times stronger than her previous peak. Even Wang Shu possessed the ability to keep himself safe against the hordes of ghost zombies.

……

It’d been twelve hundred years since Lu Yun set foot in this world. He investigated more of the surroundings as his strength grew, but found no second place like God’s Tomb or a place with a seal.

He did find thirty-eight ruins of cities and three that still stood. There were more than one million residents in each of the remaining cities. Though helmed by powerful cultivators, they wavered on the edge of collapse and couldn’t hold out for long.

He brought all of their inhabitants to Jingzhou City without another word. Ordinary people didn’t have the ability to resist ghost zombies, but enough people gathered together would give rise to gifted cultivators and hope.

With his current level of strength, it was an easy task to bring a few million people back to Jingzhou City.

After twelve hundred years of development and the addition of three cities’ worth of inhabitants, Jingzhou City boasted of more than ten million residents. The originally tattered city had expanded outward three times.

There were more than one hundred powerful cultivators protecting it. Apart from Yuan Yi, Wang Shu, and the protectors of the cities that later joined Jingzhou City, all of them were born later and practiced Lu Yun’s method of heaven and earth.

After hundreds or almost one thousand years of cultivation, they rivaled Yuan Yi when she first met Lu Yun.

Jingzhou City finally flared with a different kind of vitality in this bleak and desolate land. Lu Yun also transplanted numerous surviving plants into the city over the years, as well as collected crystalline fragments condensed from the power of heaven and earth. Over time, a tiny hint of energy from heaven and earth budded out of the crystals and plants to circulate around the city.

As for the crystalline shards of heaven and earth… they hadn’t originally existed in this world. Some changes had taken place when the world died, giving birth to these fragments. It was through them that Lu Yun was able to do what he could do.

On this day, the curtain of night once more fell over them and Lu Yun remained alone on the city gates, looking out into the distance. Night was pitch black in this real world. Even with his vision capabilities, Lu Yun could only see five hundred thousand kilometers ahead. Everything else outside of that range was too dark to discern.

This night was quiet without any ghost zombies. Frankly speaking, Jingzhou City no longer feared ordinary ghost zombies. Zombies with a hint of instinct left in them also avoided drawing close to the city.

Lu Yun regarded the night gravely. Although the enemy didn’t attack tonight, he could keenly perceive a terrifyingly powerful presence building outside his range of vision. It coldly regarded the city—a zombie king according to formula dao.

The Jingzhou-City-led changes in the area had finally raised a zombie king’s attention. Ghost zombie kings possessed intelligence and were infinite times more terrifying than ordinary ghost zombies.

Regular ghost zombies were derived from mortals or weak cultivators. Ghost zombie kings resulted from the powerhouses of the world after everything changed around them.

Lu Yun had run into four zombie kings over the past twelve hundred years. Apart from fighting the weakest to a draw, he’d had to run for his life after catching a glimpse of the others from a distance.

The one surveilling Jingzhou City was the weakest one; its territory was the closest to the city.

Jingzhou City had come under another zombie king before, but after Wanfeng entered the world in a dream twelve hundred years ago, it flew apart after she possessed it.

Other zombie kings naturally came to claim its territory after the demise of their brethren.

“Ghost zombie king, there’s nothing I can do about you and you can’t beat me either.” Lu Yun stood up and sent his thoughts through the void, depositing them onto the zombie king.

Given that it possessed intelligence, it would understand him. Jingzhou City was Lu Yun’s home base and he’d long set up terrifying formation upon formation for its defenses. If the zombie king came, he would use the formations of heaven and earth to destroy it.

But at the same time, the zombie king could fully wreck the tiny foundations that Lu Yun had set up over the past one thousand and two hundred years. Far from being alone, it was accompanied by one hundred million ghost zombies.

“ROAR!” It snarled at Lu Yun and slunk away into the darkness.

However, that left the young man more solemn than before.

“So it’s finally found me here… The next time it comes will be when it leads one hundred million ghost zombies in razing the city.” Lu Yun took a deep breath and looked forward with resolution. “Oof!”

His eyes lit up as he trembled. The power of heaven and earth within his body exploded, resonating with a surge of power from the skies. His cultivation increased explosively and his domain expanded by ten times. Everything within five thousand kilometers came under his purview.

“Twelve hundred years! The mistress and others have finally broken the second seal!” Lu Yun’s strength surged with the second dismantling of a seal. “In that case, I’ll strike first and hunt down the ghost zombie king!” A cold light glinted out of his eyes.
