Necropolis Immortal-Chapter 1764

The Corpse Refiners were indeed a poisonous tumor upon the land. The world of immortals had been at peace for the past two thousand years and iIt wasn't until qi reawakened on Earth that the sect overseeing the Truespirit Major began to stir.

That was when Lu Yun discovered that they hadn’t submitted to the immortal dao at all. They were parasites within the dao, much like the Dao Tree had once been. Thus, plots and schemes on the world of immortals activated against Truespirit Major and Lu Yun prepared to move against the Corpse Refiners in the secondary worlds.

The Sword of Worlds was immensely sapped of vitality after two thousand years of struggle with the sect and outsiders. Lu Yun didn’t intend to ask them for help on this endeavor. It was the only remaining major world out of the eighteen in the secondary worlds and strategically important to the Land of Reincarnation. Daoist Ingress had personally set it up for later use.

Lu Yun decisively sent over the daoist’s Immortal’s End Diagram and crafted four swords based on the legendary ones he wielded. While his skill in refining weapons wasn’t the greatest in the land, it was essentially on that level. Even the Treasure Sovereign on the World Star was less than him.

The four prime weapons and the fearsome diagram surrounded the World of Swords in a cocoon of safety. This world would be his foundation in the secondary worlds.

……

“The Corpse Refiners are not to be underestimated. Is it really just going to be the two of us against them?” Chu Xingran asked uneasily.

“All we need is the two of us,” Lu Yun nodded. “I’ve bringing you along only because you can kill the outsiders’ primary bodies through their replicas. I wouldn’t bother otherwise.”

“I still think I’m actually a scapegoat,” Chu Xingran pouted.

“I rather think it’s you who have a grudge against the sect. I’m your scapegoat, not the other way around.” Lu Yun flicked a sidelong glance at him. “You had the time of your life in that tomb and everyone thinks I’m the one who killed the nine thousand from the outside realm. It was also the perfect opportunity for you to hone your poison and curse dao.”

Chu Xingran’s moue deepened and he didn’t respond.

“If Meng Wang could come, he’d erase the Corpse Refiners with a flip of his hand,” Lu Yun stroked his chin. Meng Wang was nineteenth level sequence and unaffected by the orders in the land. For some reason, Lu Yun also felt that the emperor of the original Hongmeng could deploy the same strength in the primary worlds, but held himself to eighteen levels because he was waiting to ambush someone.

Meng Wang was certainly a resolute character. Someone who’d once conquered and ruled an era was no sheep to the slaughter.

“I can’t,” Meng Wang’s voice echoed in Lu Yun’s ears as soon as he finished speaking. “The Corpse Refiners are far more than you think. Try not to provoke them.”

Lu Yun curled his lip and ignored the emperor.

The Corpse Refiners were the head of the three unholies—the other two had been swallowed whole the moment they appeared in the secondary worlds. They’d built a place called the Corpse World for their headquarters, a world that had once been the nineteenth major world. After the sect’s appearance, the world was deleted from the list of major worlds.

Lu Yun didn’t forfeit his plans on account of one word through the void. The Corpse Refiners were far more than they thought? Well, so was he!

……

Corpse qi permeated the atmosphere of the Corpse World and zombies wandered everywhere. Far from ordinary zombies, they were battle zombies unique to the Corpse Refiners. This world was a massive zombie farm that the sect had long vacated, leaving behind only hordes of zombies milling around.

Lu Yun and Chu Xingran seemed to trigger something the moment they set foot onto the world. Great Formations of Corpse Refinement exploded into being and collected all of the corpse qi in the world, forming a corpse qi zombie. It roiled with boundless corpse qi and lacked a tangible body.

Boom.

The strange zombie lifted gaseous fists the moment it materialized and smashed them down on Lu Yun and Chu Xingran. Reeling with shock, the two were pummeled into the ground before they could react.

Rather than being made of soil, the earth of the Corpse World was composed of blood and flesh from crushed bodies. The two reacted extremely swiftly and raised personal shields in the last possible second, thereby avoiding contamination from the abhorrent bog.

The corpse qi zombie was even faster than them. It dived the second they were punched into the ground to follow up on its first blow.

KABOOM!

A pillar of black light erupted from the ground and blasted the zombie away.

A hell cannon!

A fearsome hell cannon surged out of the ground and screamed with sufficient power to destroy a world, firing point blank onto the gaseous zombie.

The zombie faded away, but immediately regathered the next second. Still, Lu Yun breathed more easily all the same. The massive hell battleship sailed out of the void behind him and sheltered him and Chu Xingran.

“What is that?” Lu Yun asked.

“In response to master, that is the ultimate trump card that the Corpse Refiners have in the Land of Reincarnation. It’s stronger than even the old zombie!” answered Feng Xianhuo, Lu Yun’s first Corpse Refiner Infernum. “Your subordinate thought that they’d take it away after they saw master’s display of strength, but they left it here!”

Feng Xianhuo had been a fifteenth level sequence Corpse Refiner, a nondescript level in the outside realm. Being sent here, however, meant that his potential was uncommon. Most important was that he’d schemed against Ao Qin as well, indicating he was a core disciple of the sect.

A core disciple would know much about the Corpse Refiners, but would also be ignorant of much as well.

“Left it here?” Lu Yun raised a brow.

“This means that they have many more corpse qi zombies,” Chu Xingran said. “Corpse qi zombies are intangible, so your hell cannons and other attacks are ineffective against it.”

He’d been attempting to use curses against the zombie, but hadn’t been able to inflict any damage. The zombie was likewise unable to damage the ship that they were in—the hell battleship was a moving fortress.

Lu Yun had used the Tome of Life and Death to refine the Abyssal Hell into a ball of energy and melded it with the ship. The ship no longer needed hell furnaces; it could exude the energy of hell by itself.

A second, third, fourth, corpse qi zombie loomed out of the air and surrounded the ship.
