Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 2024 – World of Reincarnation

Peak grand supremes stood at the apex of this world. In the chief worlds, they were heavyweights so rare that it was as if they were dragon scales and phoenix feathers. But here, a beam of light from the great dao vaporized a dozen of them without further ado!

Lu Yun gulped hard and ran in the opposite direction, dismissing his earlier plan. If the eyes decided to throw caution to the wind and conduct large-scale annihilation, he wouldn’t even have the chance to flee.

Thankfully, this world was infinite times larger than the chief worlds. He bounded through the void with the Boundless Step and ran out of reach within the blink of an eye.

According to his calculations, he’d run the equivalent of a dozen chief worlds. Given the plethora of danger spots in that realm, Lu Yun wouldn’t dare flee like this if he was in the chief worlds. Mysterious locations such as the Disordered Sea could be found by the handful everywhere one turned.

But in this real world, he was as if a horse racing over the endless plain. As he operated formula dao, he finally deduced a path of safety.

“Constantly running away like this won’t work either.” He turned into an otherworldly young man with a shake of his body. Clad in blue robes and bearing a longsword on his back, the power of reincarnation shifted his immortal dao into sword dao.

There was no immortal dao in this world, but there were cultivators of sword dao. The Ascendere Peak Grand Supreme was one such swordsman. Lu Yun easily derived this world’s sword dao after coming into contact and exchanging blows with the man. Of course, he also limited his display of sword dao—he couldn’t demonstrate anything too sophisticated.

As enormous as this world was, the empyrean supreme could still share the young man’s characteristics with the rest of the world if he chose to.

At the same time, Lu Yun held the opinion that since three hundred and sixty-five eyes of great dao had been mobilized, the empyrean supreme from earlier would be the only one keeping an eye on this situation. The other empyrean supremes of the world shouldn’t unduly pay it attention.

But alas, he underestimated how much scrutiny this world levied at outsiders.

Vast Dragon Seaturner was his first original combat art and contained all of the manifestations of his later combat arts—including Dragonrise and his hell dao combat arts. Vast Dragon Seaturner wasn’t a complicated or even a very strong combat art, but it was the basis for all of his other techniques.

How could the peak grand supremes not lose their minds at seeing a sword dao combat art filled with boundless variations?

So while the eyes of great dao sought out the young man, so did the peak grand supremes. They hunted for him in an even wider range and nearly made the entire world their treasure grounds.

……

Majestic Radiance Mountain wasn’t a famed landmass—it paled far in comparison to the earlier Thalassic Lake. A supreme-level black bear ruled over it before Lu Yun stomped him to death with one kick. Thus, the young man swept in and took over jurisdiction of the area.

He hadn’t changed his name—he still went by Lu Yun. No one here was familiar with him and there were at least eighty million people named Lu Yun. There was no need to go by another identity.

“How about a deal?” He manifested inside the world of the Tome of Life and Death. He’d named the internal world the World of Reincarnation as it was a world irrigated by the power of reincarnation.

“What deal?” The Disordered Empyrean Supreme giggled at the young man’s abrupt appearance.

“I promise to give you hell dao—the combined hell dao of the Firmament Prison, hell, and Ruina,” Lu Yun offered.

“I told you before that you giving it to me would be a bestowment of alms upon a beggar. It won’t be mine and I will ultimately become your vassal and subordinate. If I want hell dao, I must kill you,” she responded candidly with a shake of her head.

“Have you not gotten a clear look yet at what this world has evolved into?” Lu Yun’s replica spread out his arms and took a deep breath of the air.

“This world…?” the empyrean supreme blinked. “It’s the internal world of your treasure, no? …no!” She shook. “Reincarnation… This is… the Land of Reincarnation? No, the World of Reincarnation!”

“Correct, it’s a world formed by the power of reincarnation.” Lu Yun smiled faintly. “This world could not be made whole when I was in the chief worlds because that realm is a fake world, a world conceived from the death of a powerhouse.

“But since I’ve come to the real world, it’s helped my internal world become a real World of Reincarnation as well. I didn’t notice it myself before this.”

The Disordered Empyrean Supreme frowned without saying a word in response.

“All things can go through the cycle of reincarnation with the completion of this world. After I finish gathering the Firmament Prison, hell, and Ruina, I will finish hell dao by melding them into one. Then, I will condense hell dao into a seed of that great dao and send it out of my control.

“Whoever obtains that seed then will have a full and independent hell. I will have this World of Reincarnation and be the master of the most mysterious power in existence. I will not need hell dao then.

“What say you?” he chuckled.

He could sense the empyrean supreme’s emotions. She wanted hell dao not because of how strong it was, but because a compulsion demanded her to do so. Not a hint of greed flared to life in her when he spoke of the dao of reincarnation.

She wasn’t interested in it at all.

“You want me to protect you?” She understood Lu Yun’s intentions.

“Correct. You can decide where you want to go after I become a grand supreme. You can even stay in this world if you want.” Lu Yun nodded.

“Do you know why so many nihil powerhouses transform their bodies into worlds upon their death?” She suddenly raised an irrelevant topic.

“I don’t want to know,” the young man interrupted. “I will naturally learn of these matters when I become a peak grand supreme or empyrean supreme. It will just distract me if I know the reason now.”

He noticed that the Disordered Empyrean Supreme had stressed “upon their death”. It gave him some inspiration. Tailong once spoke of a possibility that their patch of existence could revert back into a nihil powerhouse if the sword in the World Heart was retrieved. That would erase the existence of everything that’d formed inside.

These powerhouses weren’t truly dead. Perhaps their true spirits and souls journeyed the existence that’d sprang up inside their bodies. Or perhaps they’d become part of civilization to experience the evolution of life and changing of the times.

“Very well, I will agree to this,” the empyrean supreme declared heavily. “I can ensure your safety in this world and I’ll take care of any empyrean supremes that come. But I won’t be involved with anyone stronger.”

She didn’t need to sign an agreement as for people of their cultivation, their word was their bond and karma.

“That’s easily done.” Lu Yun handed a Shapeshifting talisman to his new ally, intending to change her appearance to make it easier for her to move about in this world.

The Disordered Empyrean Supreme chose Wanfeng’s appearance amid Lu Yun’s shocked stare.
