Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 2217.1: The Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword

“It’s the Roving Dragon battle formation of the Roving Dragon Sect!” Yun Shuige brightened when he saw Mosi Yuxiu’s men assemble together. “Fellow daoists of the Roving Dragon Sect, I will remember this favor!” A keen light danced in his eyes.

While the Roving Dragon Sect was only a mid tier sect in Great Xia, its potential was enormous. It would be quite ideal if he could recruit the sect to his father’s banner on this trip. Yan Guichi had just been made a titled king and Marquis Skycloud was of the same mind as him. They were one faction and in the midst of expanding their power.

Being one of the marquis’ sons, Yun Shuige naturally inherited his father’s ambitions. Making new allies and drawing in others came as easily to him as eating and drinking.

The cultivators from Marquis Skycloud’s side swiftly shuffled into a formation after Yun Shuige spoke and trapped Lu Yun inside. Mosi Yuxiu’s paramount dao weapon emanated waves of silver illumination. They hid razor-sharp silver threads that came down around Lu Yun.

Immortals Forbidden flared with light and cut through the threads with searing energy, but the threads were as if parasites and clung to Lu Yun. In just a few moments, he was trussed up in a silver cocoon.

“I want him alive!” Yun Shuige lit up. To him, the only thing of note about Lu Yun was his body method. Mosi Yuxiu’s weapon happened to be the perfect counter to it.

“Hahaha, just give it up, junior! My fly-whisk is the accumulation of… eh…” Just as Mosi Yuxiu was about to launch into proud speech, an even more scintillating ray of silver erupted within the cocoon and sliced through all of the silver threads.

It even reduced Mosi Yuxiu’s weapon to an empty stick.

“How is this possible?! My fly-whisk is made from the silk of the Silverleaf Silkworm! Ordinary immortal weapons cannot destroy it, how did you do it?!” gasped the elder. He’d once employed it to take an empyrean immortal alive, but a mere soul separation cultivator had ruined it!

“Pfft, Silverleaf Silkworms are second rank immortal beasts, the equivalent of true immortals. Their silk is a rare treasure, but you turned it into a dao weapon? If I were you, I’d be too embarrassed to speak of it.” Lu Yun curled his lip and employed his body method, flashing through the air as numerous indistinct shadows.

The void was sealed off by two battle formations working in tandem. Immense and forceful attacks continuously cut through the sky.

“This won’t do!” The young man frowned. These two formations exceeded high rank battle formations. He would be injured if he was hit by them.

Bam!

The void trembled as the haphazard attacks coalesced into nine cerulean dragons. When the dragons roved through the air, the ambient energy of the place of burial was agitated and surged in their direction.

Replete with scales and claws, the nine seemed like true dragons and each emanated a terrifying aura. They would be able to tear even empyrean immortals to pieces!

They pounced on Lu Yun as soon as they formed; the Ly young master discovered to his shock that they’d sealed off this area!

“The Roving Dragon Sect’s battle formation is definitely something. No wonder they’re a mid-tier faction when they lack an origin immortal!” Yun Shuige licked his lips, greed flashing through his eyes. He must recruit the sect and have their battle formation at his command!

“If I can’t dodge it, then I’ll meet it straight on! Kill!” Lu Yun roared as Immortals Forbidden erupted with light. He seemed like a war god wielding the sun.

Humm!

Immortals Forbidden erupted with crimson splendor and a twenty-seven meter long ray of sword light arced toward the horizon.

The Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword!

Lu Yun wrapped both hands around his sword and brought it down in front of him. Piercing radiance filled the void; even Yun Shuige couldn’t help but shade his eyes with his hand.

BAM!!

Twenty-seven meters of brilliance smashed into a dragon, obliterating it after a massive collision.

It was not yet over.

A second stroke!

Sword light churned through the air and chopped up another three dragons with a series of violent tremors.

A third stroke!

Sword light exploded into thousands of rays and churned the remaining five dragons into dust.

Break!

A flushed Lu Yun stood in the air, his chest heaving and panting for breath. All was silent between heaven and earth.

Apart from Mosi Yuxiu, the seventy remaining members of the Roving Dragon Sect were reduced to clouds of bloody mist by the enormous vibrations. Even their nascent souls didn’t have the chance of escape.

Those of Marquis Skycloud’s manor were thrown every which way, vomiting copious amounts of blood when they landed. The battle formation in the air broke without further pressure. Yun Shuige remained unmoving, but his face was dark. Most Yuxiu trembled like a leaf and didn’t know what to do in the throes of his horror.

There were nine strokes to the Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword, but a lack of definitive techniques. Their sword qi melded into the void and made it impossible to guard against. Each stroke accumulated on the ones before and was stronger than each preceding one. If all nine were deployed, heaven and earth would shift and immortals terror-stricken.

All Lu Yun could manage at his current level of strength was three strokes, but they were still sufficient to kill immortals.

“What a tremendously strong attack!” Yun Shuige’s longsword flared with cerulean luster. “You’re just soul separation… If you had enough time and space to grow, you’d be another White. Unfortunately for you, you do not have such luxury.”

Bathed in gentle blue light, Yun Shuige slowly floated up from the ground. Rays of splendor circulated around him. He was a premier genius, but compared to the truly monstrous geniuses, he was too far removed from them. The perverse geniuses of Great Xia were able to kill immortals when they were cultivators.

Yun Shuige defined Lu Yun as one such genius.

However, the young man was only soul separation at the moment and had yet to fully come into his strength. Yun Shuige was confident that the current Lu Yun was no match for him. He needed to eliminate the young man before he could grow further.

“Die!” Yun Shuige shouted as his sword erupted with scintillating blue radiance. He became one with his immortal sword and streaked toward Lu Yun as a ray of light.

“Man and sword as one…” Lu Yun narrowed his eyes.

Pfft!

The combination of man and sword pierced through Lu Yun’s body.

“No!” Yun Shuige shouted in horror. A crimson dragon of dense sword qi rampaged through where he’d come from. Wails and shrieks rose and fell as his men and Mosi Yuxiu were ripped apart.

The cultivators were already reeling from the backlash of the formation and dealing with heavy injuries. They’d relaxed when they saw their young lord deploy an ultimate move and run through Lu Yun’s body. Who would’ve thought that their quarry would run through them and erupt in slaughter instead?

“So it’s you, no wonder you dared set yourself against me… You’re Lu Yun, grandson of Lu Tianling!” Yun Shuige recognized the Eighteen Cerulean Sword Dragons as soon as the other deployed it.

Marquis Cloudsky and the Origin King were on the same ship. The former naturally investigated anyone who was enemies with the Origin King. The Eighteen Cerulean Sword Dragons was Lu Yun’s trademark move.

“If my guess is correct, the pagoda from the legendary Mindful Immortal Potentate of the world of immortals is in your hands,” Yun Shuige said coolly as he calmed down.

Lu Yun frowned faintly to hear Yun Shuige call out the potentate’s name. He would’ve been baffled before, since the world of immortals was but myth and legend to present day immortals. The Mindful Immortal Potentate’s name could not possibly have been passed on.

But after true immortal Lu Youya deployed the Greedy Wolf Star, Lu Yun understood that this was likely all due to the Greedy Wolf Immortal King.

If Terra Demon could survive, then being on nearly the same level as him, of course the Greedy Wolf Immortal King could as well.

“The Mindful Immortal Potentate’s legacy is indeed with you. It looks like the Marquis Skycloud Manor has a chance of becoming the Skycloud King Estate!” Yun Shuige didn’t care about his dead followers—they were just a few minions and no one important.

He threw his head back with a howl as the cerulean radiance around him deepened and locked onto Lu Yun. “I know how to create images of myself too!”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

He split into nine as soon as he finished and rushed toward Lu Yun from nine different directions.

“Image replicas?” Lu Yun curled his lip. That was a far cry from his Split Shadow combat art. He could determine which was real and which was fake without even employing the Eye of Nullification.

But he’d gravely exhausted his Hongmeng qi earlier after utilizing the Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword. It wasn’t the time to go head-to-head with Yun Shuige. The Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword was more domineering than the Eighteen Cerulean Sword Dragons and thus consumed more qi.

It was because Lu Yun possessed Hongmeng qi from the Nine Chapters of Dao that he was able to do all this. Any other cultivator wouldn’t be able to do the same.

Pfft!

Yun Shuige’s nine images simultaneously arrived in front of Lu Yun and sliced him to bits.

“A fake?!” Yun Shuige’s heart skipped a beat.

“I’m over here!” Lu Yun appeared thirty meters behind his opponent.
