Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 2025 – Eyes of the Overseer

Lu Yun looked speechlessly at the Disordered Empyrean Supreme. He understood that she didn’t dare stick out too much in a place like this. There were fearsome existences stronger than empyrean supreme in this world, ones that’d reached the cultivation level of nothing.

Perhaps they weren’t far off from the so-called Nihil World Sovereign that he’d met before, and empyrean supremes were indeed less than ants compared to such personages.

As for why the Disordered Empyrean Supreme had taken on Wanfeng’s appearance… Who the hell knew? She probably wanted to turn Lu Yun inside out once she came back to life. Not choosing Qing Yu or the little fox’s form was already showing him face.

……

After leaving the World of Reincarnation, Lu Yun created a residence in Majestic Radiance Mountain. Although the mountain didn’t measure up to Thalassic Lake, it was much more peaceful and quiet. With the speed that the eyes of great dao covered ground, it would take them at least three years to reach this locale.

Three years was abundant time for Lu Yun.

At the same time, however, numerous peak grand supremes scoured the world for the outsider. They wanted the young man’s combat art! Their capabilities weren’t as all-encompassing as the eyes, but they were much faster. Far from just a handful of peak grand supremes looking for him, tens of thousands of them wanted the outsider!

It was trouble, enormous trouble that brewed.

Lu Yun would create certain ripples of power as he cultivated and thereby raise other people’s attention. Therefore, he needed the Disordered Empyrean Supreme to stand guard over him. She’d used the Shapeshifting Talisman to hide her original form and the ripples of her strength. Not even an eye of great dao would see through to her true being!

Just a hint of an empyrean supreme’s aura in the vicinity would scare off all wandering peak grand supremes.

Three years passed by seemingly at the speed of light, bringing Lu Yun incredibly close to true grand supreme. Despite the young man being a hair’s breadth away, he needed more time to bridge the gap.

Seven years!

Lu Yun would break through to grand supreme if he could quietly cultivate for another seven years. He could leave this world then and no longer have to worry about anything. The eyes of great dao would finally find his hiding spot in roughly a month, but that placed them one month ahead of the schedule he’d previously determined.

That was not a good sign—it meant they were growing and starting to develop out of the range of his calculations. They were just one month faster for now, but they would progress with increasing speed in the rest of the time he had available to him.

“Did you just kill someone?” Lu Yun suddenly looked at the Disordered Empyrean Supreme next to him.

“I went to take a small bit of revenge, it’s not a big deal,” she smiled.

Color drained out of the young man’s face and he grabbed the woman’s arm, immediately leaving via the Boundless Step.

Three eyes of great dao arrived one hundred breaths after they left and covered the area with the light of great dao. Majestic Radiance Mountain and everything within fifty million kilometers of it was reduced to dust.

Almost no one was affected, thanks to the aura of an empyrean supreme permeating the region before. All living beings had evacuated the premises due to the presence of a heavyweight they could not afford to offend.

The Disordered Empyrean Supreme froze when she noticed what’d happened behind them.

“What’s going on? Why have those eyes gone insane?” she gasped.

“You killed someone and ended a karmic relationship from the past, heh. Heh heh!” Lu Yun chuckled darkly through grit teeth. “That’d be fine in normal times, but it’s me now and I’m running from an empyrean supreme. They’ll investigate any cultivators who visited their world before and left without issue, as well as any karmic relationships resulting from those visits!

“Don’t take this world lightly. As outdated as their combat arts and cultivation methods are, they’re closer to the core essence of dao than us. Their battle strength is weak, but they are far, far more skilled at observing the world through the great dao. I strongly suspect that the cultivators here have the ability to form their own dao!”

For every gain, there was a loss.

The various combat arts and dao methods of this world dwelled in an “origin” status. They’d yet to “grow” and reach an incomparably prosperous “everything”. At the same time, origin was the closest link to inception. The arts and methods of this world were weak, but closer to the great dao. They resonated with the great dao and made it possible to glimpse many things from it.

Since Lu Yun held the Tome of Life and Death, the denizens of this world couldn’t find him. They could only search for things related to him, such as outsiders who’d once visited and left.

Unfortunately, since the Disordered Empyrean Supreme used her Shapeshifting Talisman to take care of unfinished business from her last trip, that created an opening for the local inhabitants.

It should’ve taken the eyes of great dao another month to arrive at this spot, but they came after one hundred breaths and leveled Majestic Radiance Mountain.

The empyrean supreme’s mouth turned dry. The light of great dao from the three eyes had been sufficient to destroy her!

“What should we do?” At her level of strength, she could sense that another dozen eyes were locked onto her. Not her specifically, but the traces of karma she’d left behind.

The Disordered Empyrean Supreme had no idea what to do.

“What kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into?!” she demanded through clenched teeth.

“Not trouble, I just displayed a combat art that I shouldn’t have and caused some jealousy.” Lu Yun frowned and grabbed her arm again, vanishing with a few more leaps and bounds.

Instead of stopping this time, he furiously operated the power of reincarnation inside of him and called upon the death arts, changing their appearance.

“That can’t be it.” The empyrean supreme sank into deep thought without attempting to struggle free of the young man’s grasp. “I utilized a great number of profound shamanic arts and killed some of their peak grand supremes when I visited, but that only resulted in one eye of great dao. I didn’t provoke the three hundred and sixty-five major cycle eyes of great dao, and ones that can kill empyrean supremes!

“…your book!” she realized. “They want your book!”

With the internal world of the Tome of Life and Death transforming into the World of Reincarnation, the eyes of great dao were unable to see through it. A treasure that they could not pierce through would send empyrean supremes into a frenzy.

The Disordered Empyrean Supreme even suspected that the overseer of this world had taken note of Lu Yun, but couldn’t come in person to capture the young man as he was restricted by something.

The three hundred and sixty-five major cycle eyes of great dao were the eyes of the overseer of the world!
