Necropolis Immortal

To think of the action was to complete the deed, Carmine Arbiter arrived in the primordial world of immortals through the Gates of the Abyss. As expected, her third of the order of life immediately became whole after she met Jin Huo and Chu Xun.

The order of life on Jin Huo then separated into two, one half landing on Chu Xun and both becoming complete orders. The radiance of life bloomed from Carmine Arbiter, Jin Huo, and Chu Xun. Already in the process of slowly coming back to life, the primordial world of immortals instantly boomed with vitality when nourished with the order of life.

The barren world flourished with greenery.

"Great idea, Lu Yun!” A giggling Carmine Arbiter ran up to the young man. “I was afraid all the time in the World of Immortals. Some monster might appear any day and gulp me down! I received the approval of this world as soon as you brought me here and became its ancestral god of life! I’m protected by its order of heaven and earth and don’t need to worry about being eaten anymore.”

The order of heaven and earth in this world was the will of heaven and earth from the five sets of organs.

"Stay here and cultivate with that wretched old man. He’s someone who killed an empyrean supreme before!” Lu Yun grinned.

"My name isn’t wretched old man!” The er, wretched old man blustered when he heard the reference. “My name is

"Alright, I’m out. You guys do as you see fit. This place is completely safe with the wretched old man standing guard it!” Lu Yun picked the god of Mount Tai up by the neck and entered the Gates of the Abyss.

Jin Huo wanted to follow Lu Yun out, but stopped when she thought of something. The young man had kept his original goal in mind all this time—extract hell dao from the god of Mount Tai and recreate the Land of Reincarnation!

Lu Yun refrained from making any demands of those he saved from the existence within nothing. Those with prior relationships with him, such as the overlord of Ice or Moran Wu, left at this time.

Being supremes, they were no fools. While they wouldn’t take the affairs of the tomb to their grave, they would certainly be prudent about what they talked about.

Lu Yun wasn’t concerned that they’d run their mouths. With the wretched old man holding down the fort, not even the empyrean supreme from the darkness dared venture forth. The young man confidently stepped out of the primordial world of immortals with the mountain god in his hand.

Darkness swallowed him the moment he emerged. A pristine figure stood at the center of the world of darkness. She smiled welcomingly, looking at Lu Yun with the triumphant gaze of a victor.

"Yun Yi is just a peak grand supreme, so how can she possibly scheme against an empyrean supreme?” The Disordered Empyrean Supreme dimpled at Lu Yun.

Wu Ru Lu Yun connected some dots when he saw the empyrean supreme.

"Oh, so you’ve guessed it,” the empyrean supreme chuckled. “Wu Ru is the manifestation of one of my ethereal soul parts. I erased my personality in him so Yun Yi wouldn’t see through it and permitted him to become an independent being.

"But seeing as he’s still me, it’s just a matter of momentary thought to recall him. As my primary body has returned to the heights of empyrean supreme, so have my soul parts recovered to their peak.

"Everything that Yun Yi has done is about to benefit me. The resurrected primordial world of immortals is mine for the taking. Your hell dao is also mine!” She blazed with arrogance, extremely proud of being the oriole behind the mantis stalking the cicada.

"Do you know that my Gates of the Abyss lead straight to hell, that I can return directly to the World of Immortals?” Lu Yun suddenly asked coldly.

"Hmm?” the empyrean supreme blinked.

"Do you know why I haven’t just headed back there, why I went to the extra step of stopping in the chief worlds?” he sneered.

"You are an ant that’s not even a peak grand supreme, so how dare you presume to scheme against an empyrean supreme?” The Disordered Empyrean Supreme understood what Lu Yun wanted to say, but she didn’t believe there was anything he could pull off against her.

Formula dao was immensely powerful. It’d traversed the chief worlds and could calculate all things. But there was no empyrean supreme in residence within it, not even a peak grand supreme.

Lu Yun wanted to use it against her? Out of the question.

"I’m not scheming against you,” he sighed. “Do you know why that thing is still here?”

He pointed at the tomb of the empyrean supreme, at the golden avenue that extended into the chief worlds. The golden bridge of heaven and earth!

It was the primordial heavenly emperor’s ultimate treasure and formed out of his combat art. There was absolutely no reason for it to still be here.

To guide chief world cultivators into the tomb? There were plenty of other treasures that could serve the purpose, ones that were faster and more convenient!

Color drained out of the Disordered Empyrean Supreme’s face. A figure in white suddenly appeared next to Lu Yun when he finished speaking. The newcomer was as if a mirage, hovering between reality and illusion. He both laughed and cried at the same time.

An akasha ghost.

The akasha ghost that was the heavenly emperor.

"Yun’er also knew that she couldn’t fully plot against a true empyrean supreme, so I stayed within the golden bridge,” the emperor offered offhandedly. “The original plan was for me to immolate myself and direct the bridge in a final strike if you appeared after the primordial world of immortals revitalized. But he turned me into an akasha ghost.” Here, the emperor pointed at Lu Yun with a smile. “So not only is there an empyrean supreme in the chief worlds, there is also me. An empyrean level akasha ghost.

"We don’t need the golden bridge anymore, I can take you out myself.”

There was another person behind him—Wei Lie. It was his past self, the ancestor of the Divine Feathers.

"Just you guys?” The Disordered Empyrean Supreme first looked at the heavenly emperor, then at Wei Lie.

"Are we not enough?” Wei Lie’s past self was also an empyrean supreme and he’d never died. He was a real, live empyrean supreme. He paused after hearing the question. “Ah, do you have helpers as well?”

"What do you think?” The Disordered Empyrean Supreme grinned. Five figures walked out behind her, each appearing from one of the cardinal directions.

They wore animal hides and were dressed very similarly to the elders of the human race in the tomb. All of them wielded tattered black bone staves. Withered and their skin hanging on their bones, it seemed like they’d crawled out of coffins. If one had to describe them with a term, then these were people with one foot in the grave and on death’s door.

"The five shamanic elders! You’re still alive!” The heavenly emperor found this development highly unwelcome.

These five elders were the most veteran of the shamanic tribe. They’d followed their ancestor on campaigns across the worlds. Although they weren’t empyrean supremes, they stood at the apex of peak grand supremes.

In an era too old to be recorded, they’d fought together to gravely injure an empyrean supreme. They mysteriously disappeared at some point and everyone thought that they were gone in the pages of history, but here they were again!

The heavenly emperor and Wei Lie wouldn’t be afraid of the newcomers if it was just the five of them. But there was also the Disordered Empyrean Supreme to consider. She was a bonafide empyrean supreme.

It was only now that the heavenly emperor and Wei Lie discovered that this world of darkness was a shamanic formation set up by the elders. The power of darkness was a kind of black smoke simulating darkness, not truly strength of the gloom.

In other words, the Master of Darkness was ineffective here. All Lu Yun could rely on was Heavenfall.

"I just wanted to eliminate Lu Yun, but you two had to barge in as well. You can die with him, then.” The Disordered Empyrean Supreme grabbed her ultimate treasure out of the air. Since the black spear hadn’t been broken in the earlier ordeal, that was the basis upon which Lu Yun concluded the empyrean supreme was still alive.
