Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 2227.1: No Mercy

Since these people owned a Treasurehunter Rat, they must have picked up quite a few treasures already. It’d be one thing if they didn’t run afoul of him, but since they’d placed themselves in his way, then he wouldn’t let them off the hook so easily.

Yes, he was collecting goodwill, but he wasn’t a saint. He would kill and loot when he should!

“Don’t act too out of bounds, young man.” The second tribulation cultivator was a haggard old man, but his cultivation was stronger than the man with the flabby cheeks. He was latter tribulation and only needed to endure his final heavenly tribulation before he became an awakened cultivator. “Taking one step back means we will still be able to meet in good faith later on!”

“Good faith later on?” Lu Yun curled his lip. “I’m sure that none of you will ever want to see me again.”

He shifted in front of the elder and punched the old man in the stomach. The elder flushed beet red and coughed weakly. Another kick sent him flying and a storage ring into Lu Yun’s hand. The young man then flashed in quick succession and charged the other eight.

None of them escaped Lu Yun’s blows. Each suffered a hearty beating and was stripped naked, then thrown aside in a half dead state.

Who was Lu Yun? The greatest prodigal of Darklake Empire and a young man with an eccentric temper! It was only ever him pointing at the noses of other people—no one dared so much as raise their voice at him. It was already a show of mercy that he didn’t kill them on the spot!

He smiled with satisfaction at the struggling Treasurehunter Rat in his hands. He didn’t need one since he possessed the Heavenly Eye, but a vast family stood behind him. A spirit beast like the Treasurehunter Rat was a hot commodity no matter where it was.

He threw it into the sword pagoda.

“All of you have nothing to do with this. Scram!” he shouted arrogantly at the other cultivators.

None of them moved. Instead, they looked at Lu Yun with looks of greed. First it was the Origin Ginseng, then the Treasurehunter Rat… The young man must possess a storage treasure that could hold living beings! A treasure like that was at least immortal rank, and a very high immortal rank at that!

Lu Yun snorted when he saw the looks creep over their faces. A powerful aura exploded out of his body and sent them all flying before they could react.

Whoosh!

Crimson light flashed from his sword and decapitated a combination cultivator.

This time, the rest of the people ran without needing Lu Yun to say anything else. They didn’t dare linger on the scene any longer. Sure enough, the young man possessed many treasures, but he was also a harbinger of doom.

“Hmph, now I’m pissed enough to go on a killing spree.” Lu Yun curled his lip. “And why aren’t you getting out of here yet?”

He tilted his head and looked at the void next to him.

“You can see me?” A handsome young man in light blue robes walked out with surprise. He was the same cultivation level as Lu Yun, but the latter somehow sensed a terrifying wild beast crouched within the young man’s body.

“There’s nothing in this world that can hide from my eyes.” Lu Yun smirked arrogantly.

“Your eyes?” The handsome young man took a close look and smiled. “They are indeed fine eyes, I like them. How about you dig them out for me?”

His smile was warm and outgoing, his tone perfectly matching them. However, an inexplicable sense of evil framed his words.

“We’ll have to see first if you have what it takes!” Lu Yun brayed with laughter.

“Hahahaha!!” The young man suddenly struck, sending a massive longsword at Lu Yun with a flash of black radiance. “The heavens prosper if they bow at my feet, the heavens perish if they stand in my way!”

The young man whistled and directed rampaging qi out of the blade. It bloomed in the void like a black lotus.

Whoosh!

The blade qi twisted into a ray of black light and cut straight at Lu Yun.

Clang!

Lu Yun brought up Immortals Forbidden and rebuffed a blow, but not without suffering a nick as big as a grain of rice to the sword’s edge.

Immortals Forbidden was forged out of the essence of li fire metal—a king rank material for immortal weapons. Though he’d tempered it into a lower dao rank weapon instead of bringing it up to its full potential, it was unusually durable. That the young man had caused a flaw in it with one stroke was testament to his might.

Lu Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at the longsword in his opponent’s hand.

“A mere lower dao rank weapon is still intact after a blow from my Black Lotus… It looks like that flying sword is also made of supreme materials. I want it! This time, I’m taking your life!” the handsome young man shouted.

Hummm!

Blade qi nine meters wide and thirty meters long erupted in the void and came down on Lu Yun like a razor-sharp mountain. The young man didn’t dare hesitate—his opponent was too uncanny. He was just soul separation, but he was so strong that those like Yu Hen and Yan Beifei were absolutely no match for him.

The first stroke of the Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword!

A jade-green immortal sword appeared in Lu Yun’s hand as he deployed Wood Reincarnation from the Reincarnation of the Five Elements. Wood Reincarnation propelled the first stroke of the Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword!

Green light flashed through the air and bore down on the young man’s head. Another flaming red sword appeared in Lu Yun’s hand the next second—the second stroke of the Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword!

The immortal sword in his hand crumbled away when the wheel of Fire Reincarnation formed. Fire and wood intersected—wood fed fire, so their power grew stronger!

“You…” The young man’s expression changed drastically. The blade qi that he’d just brought to bear was as if paper in the face of Wood Reincarnation. It was crushed within a split second. Two wheels of green and red arrived simultaneously, drawing an agonized shriek from him. “This is plainly a killing move! Why aren’t you like everyone else? Why are you using one of your ultimate moves in the first exchange??”

The young man possessed countless combat arts that he hadn’t had a chance to deploy. He needed time to prepare them even if he wanted to use them now, but Lu Yun’s two strokes of the Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword didn’t leave him a chance to do anything!

He gnashed his teeth with fury. Didn’t experts open with probing moves and gain a better understanding of each other’s backgrounds before letting loose with their greatest techniques? Why wasn’t this guy following the playbook?

“AHHHHH!!” the young man roared and sent a black lotus out of his head. It was like darkness had descended upon the world and the entire void darkened. With his image of heaven and earth on the battlefield, the young man relaxed slightly. However, he paled the next second and spat out a mouthful of blood.

BOOM! BOOM!

Two tremendous explosions rang out when wheels of green and red smashed into the young man’s image. It shook so violently that the young man was greatly injured as well.

“I! Want! You! To! Suffer!” He snapped out, having never suffered such a setback in his life of smooth sailing.

However, a haze of red immediately enveloped him and a massive dragon of sword qi snarled, diving through the void with cutting sword qi around it. The young man’s defensive treasures didn’t impede it at all.

Pfft!

The third stroke of the Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword, Eighteen Cerulean Sword Dragons!

The young man burst into a bloody mist and a black nascent soul broke through the air, protected by the black lotus. It vanished from sight.

“No matter who you are, you’re doomed! I am Cui Jiuyuan of Wuxi Mountain and will obliterate you no matter where you might run!” A harrowing scream echoed in Lu Yun’s ears.

“Wuxi Mountain, again?” He frowned. “What is that place? I think I vaguely recall it from my three thousand years of reincarnation, but not really. It must not have amounted to much during my era…”

Lu Yun wasn’t sure how long it’d been since his time in the world of immortals and the world vanishing.

“Forget it, one problem at a time. I’m going about my business as I should be doing.” He put Wuxi Mountain out of his mind—he’d already killed three of them anyhow. “A true world of water, hmm? How exciting!”

His fingers flicked through a strange hand seal as he vanished into thin air.

A speck of dust one hundred and fifty kilometers beneath the ruins of the northern palace contained an incomparably vast world. It was bigger than even Immortal Burial Valley. It’d once been the seed storage world of the northern emperor.

Five hundred thousand kilometers across, it was one of the smaller instances of its kind. What set it apart was the treasure it contained, one infinitely priceless even in the world of immortals—a world of true water!

The heart of this world was a ball of cerulean radiance. It hovered silently in the air, appearing completely ordinary. There were no ripples of energy from it, but it seemed like a vast world without end.

There were countless living beings within it, anything from tadpoles to massive beasts, from ants to immortals. There was even a complete three realms and six paths within it. Living beings cycled through reincarnation, seeking immortal dao and searching for immortality.

Everything in this world was based off of the dao of water. The rules of water were its only principles. Thus, it was no match for a real world despite possessing a complete three realms and six paths. At the same time, it truly contained the rules of a world.

Back in the day after Lu Yun obtained the treasure, he’d borrowed the laws of the world within to touch the cultivation realm beyond chaos immortal. However, he hadn’t been able to comprehend its laws and thus failed to truly refine the world of true water.
