Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 2224.1: Sagittarii Hall

The Tai Sui Immortal King was an immortal king at the end of the day. Contrary to immortal overlords, he was protected by the laws of immortal kings. Thus, while Lu Yun scattered his soul to the four winds every time he killed the man, the central immortal emperor was able to resurrect him so long as Tai Sui’s immortal king rules remained.

That was why there had been a feud between the High Lord of the Northern Sky and the central immortal emperor. Killing Tai Sui once or twice would’ve already formed a blood feud, but Tai Sui had died five times, and each time quite thoroughly at that.

A deep knot of fear had long taken root in Tai Sui’s heart.

The Black Tortoise of the Northern Sky promptly made Lu Yun the immortal emperor of the north when he ascended to chaos immortal. It only served to deepen Tai Sui’s horror. After ascending to his position, Lu Yun possessed the strength to permanently eliminate immortal kings.

Even now, though Tai Sui still didn’t recognize Lu Yun, his horror wasn’t the slightest bit abated.

……

“It’s him!” Three thousand meters away, Xia Houwan’s jaw dropped as he watched Lu Yun face off against the Tai Sui Immortal King. He also felt very lucky at the same time.

“Do you know him?” Yu Hen had reconvened with his friend and the others. They remained where they were, observing the battle.

The prince hadn’t suffered any physical damage since Tai Sui wanted to obliterate his nascent soul, not his body. While Lu Yun’s stomp had bruised his handsome face, a quick circulation of true origin returned everything to its rightful place. If not for that stomp, Tai Sui’s blow would’ve landed on Yu Hen no matter what the prince tried. He understood the chain of actions, so he didn’t resent Lu Yun for his move.

“That person was present for the battle over the Void Sacred Flame. With his ability, he must have claimed the heavenly fire.” Although Xia Houwan was a good-fo- nothing, he still had a certain broadness of vision. Not even Yu Hen was a match for the man the color of blood, but this Lu Yun could suppress him. It was easy enough to hazard a guess at the newcomer’s terrifying might.

“The Void Sacred Flame… is listed as third on the ranking of heavenly fires in the books of the Dao Academy,” Yu Hen sighed. “What a pity. I would definitely fight him for it if he didn’t just save my life.”

“Do you think you can beat him?” Xia Houwan rolled his eyes.

“Um…” Yu Hen looked around awkwardly and refocused on the skies above the palace. Lu Yun was already clashing with Tai Sui.

Being infected by the vicious spirits, the immortal king possessed strength like theirs. Bloody light shimmered around his body—he seemed more like Bloodbath than the Bloodbath practicing the Canon of the Blood God.

A crimson sword dragon circled around Lu Yun, twisting and turning to churn through the bloody light with imperious momentum.

“The Eighteen Cerulean Sword Dragons! Who are you?! Are you the Mindful Immortal Potentate or his heir?!” Tai Sui growled. The Mindful Immortal Potentate was dead, of that there was no question. He would not come to life even if he was protected by the laws of immortal potentates.

It looks like he really doesn’t know anything… While he can detect the existence of Terra Demon, senior brother must have obscured his perception that day. Lu Yun’s mind flew rapidly. Tai Sui could utilize various methods to sense that Terra Demon was trapped in the sword pagoda and learn that he was raising Yong Heyu for possession. It was also no coincidence that Sky had appeared when Lu Yun found the sword pagoda.

The young man eschewed more talk and twisted his body, becoming one with the sword dragon and deploying the first stroke of the Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword.

BOOM!

The void shook as boundless pressure unfurled in all directions. Even though they were three thousand meters out, Yu Hen and the others paled before running for their lives.

Utilizing the Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword in conjunction with the Eighteen Cerulean Sword Dragons affected the void for a dozen kilometers around. A dense array of sword light suffused the air, melting into the void and being impossible to defend against!

All cultivators within the palace’s range were scared off. Not even Yu Hen was able to withstand the aftershocks of this battle.

“What terrifying might… What kind of sword technique is that!!” Yu Hen swallowed. He held Xia Houwan by the collar with one hand and raised sword light with the other, fleeing without a look back.

Under Lu Yun’s full strength, the cerulean sword dragon was fifteen hundred meters long. It twisted seventeen times before rushing Tai Sui on the eighteenth gyration.

“Ahhhhh!!” Tai Sui emitted an inhuman shriek. He abruptly expanded into a blood-red giant three hundred meters tall. Bloody scales covered his form instead of skin.

“The image of disaster! The arrival of Tai Sui brings apocalyptic disaster!!” Tai Sui waved his fists around and punched the sword dragon. It came with the presence of catastrophe—all things would suffer in the presence of calamity!

BOOM!

Tai Sui’s fist connected solidly with the sword dragon; the tremendous recoil flung him two hundred meters back.

Humm!

A wheel of jade-green light rose in the void before he could recover his footing. It transformed into a ray of sword light and descended upon Tai Sui.

“The Reincarnation of the Five Elements… Wood Reincarnation…” moaned Tai Sui as horror flooded his eyes. He knew who he faced!

There was only one person in the three worlds, six paths, and the world of immortals who could utilize the Reincarnation of the Five Elements—the immortal emperor of the north, the High Lord of the Northern Sky!

Even though this Wood Reincarnation was more than a hundred million times weaker than what the high lord had brought to bear in his prime, it was still a true Wood Reincarnation!

It was said that the northern immortal emperor once employed the Reincarnation of the Five Elements and combined all five reincarnations to eradicate a world overrun by vicious spirits. Such was the might of the Reincarnation of the Five Elements!

Fear exploded in Tai Sui’s heart the moment Wood Reincarnation appeared. He didn’t even have the courage to block it before being swallowed by the wheel of jade-green light.

Lu Yun wouldn’t defeat him so easily if it wasn’t for already killing Tai Sui five times over in the world of immortals.

The wheel of light that was Wood Reincarnation fully suppressed the immortal king, giving Lu Yun space to wave the actual sword pagoda into his left hand. Tai Sui was thus transferred to the pagoda for safekeeping.

All Lu Yun did now was borrow the sword pagoda to manifest his image of heaven and earth—he’d yet to fully utilize it. Thus, the pagoda remained an independent treasure, but the young man’s control of it grew ever more complete.

Lu Yun looked around the premises—the sword dragon released by the Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword was so frightful that all of the other cultivators that’d been gathered nearby had long since fled for safer vantage points. They slowly filtered back after a peaceful one hundred breaths.

“I say, brother, you’re damn good! Where’s that big guy?” Xia Houwan was the type to easily befriend others. He slapped Lu Yun’s shoulder with a hearty grin.

Lu Yun wasn’t the prim and proper sort either, Xia Houwan’s actions were right up his alley. “This young master did him in, of course!” he responded with a cocksure grin.

“Nice nice nice. I admired Yu Hen the most before this, but now I look up to you the most!” Xia Houwan roared with laughter, goodwill rising from his body. It was goodwill borne out of reverence!

The good-for-nothing Xia Houwan admired Lu Yun? What kind of situation would it be if his grandfather, Marquis Skyrule, learned of it?

“Many thanks for this brother’s helping hand earlier! I am Yu Hen, might I know…” Yu Hen approached Lu Yun with a cupped fist salute.

“Yu Hen? The national surname of Great Xia, Yu?” Lu Yun raised both brows without answer.

“Heh heh, my brother is the ninety-ninth prince of the Great Xia Human Emperor. Although he has yet to ascend to immortality, he will be a heaven-shaking powerhouse once he does. Of course, he’ll still be a bit weaker than you, ole bro!” Xia Houwan concluded fawningly.

Lu Yun suddenly found this young lord similar to Zhao Chenguang and Yu Shuai. They were all so… thick-skinned!

“So you are a prince of Great Xia. Lu Yun offers his greetings.” Lu Yun patted Yu Hen’s shoulder, aping Xia Houwan’s mannerisms and almost flinging his arm around the prince.

“Eh… Lu Yun? Which Lu Yun?” Yu Hen was still digesting the introduction.

“My grandfather is the strongest of Jade Ruins Realm, Lu Tianling! I’m his grandson!” Lu Yun thumped his chest with pride.

“You’re… Lu Tianling’s grandson?” Xia Houwan’s jaw dropped and Yu Hen stared dazedly. Seeing as how similarly Lu Yun was acting to his close friend, it was nearly impossible for the prince to connect the young man to the one who’d battled the man of blood earlier…

Lu Yun looked nothing more than a good-for-nothing who refused to learn and swaggered around causing trouble with his family’s name!

Eh, well, that was indeed what the Lu Yun of the stories did. But… they didn’t seem right either…

The quick-witted ninety-ninth prince of Great Xia suddenly found it hard to think through this conundrum.

“Hahaha, Lu Yun!! So you’re Lu Yun! You’re the glory of our generation!” Xia Houwan roared with laughter and threw his arm around Lu Yun’s shoulders. The two clapped each other on their backs and were quickly embroiled in a raucous conversation, like they were old friends of many years.

“Lu Tianling… he fought four august immortals with the strength of initial awakened realm and killed one of them. Not many Great Xia perverse geniuses can manage this feat. What does Yan Guichi want from the Lus?” A keen light sparkled in Yu Hen’s eyes.

To many, Lu Tianling was just an incredible talent of their age. Yan Guichi had destroyed the Lu Clan of Great Xia simply to prevent his former masters from enacting vengeance on him.
