Necropolis Immortal-Chapter 1807.2: Martial Aunt and Uncle

Chapter 1809: Strongest of the Natives

"I only have one treasure left for self protection. If I give it to you, I won't be able to protect myself if those supremes' projections come for me," the azure dragon ancestral god explained in highly resigned tones.

Lu Yun hadn't suddenly paid a visit to Dragonhollow Mountain because he wanted to. The Treasurehunter Rat had dragged him here. Too many outsiders had their eyes set on the azure dragon ancestral god, so he'd taken out his personal treasure to self defense.

It was so incredibly mighty that it was a premier treasure even in the chief worlds. The Treasurehunter Rat hauled Lu Yun to the mountain as soon as it sniffed out the treasure's aura, resulting in their earlier conversation.

Who is Chu Xingran?

Lu Yun very much wanted to know who the man was. Perhaps he wouldn't be able to comprehend it after the azure dragon ancestral god told him, but it would at least give Lu Yun some reassurance and peace of mind.

He nodded at the ancestral god, indicating that he didn't plan on taking the treasure.

"Also, you don't need to worry about the mysterious powerhouse here in their true form. Those from the Autumnus Realm are here to take them out," said the ancestral god.

Lu Yun shrugged nonchalantly.

"I really can't tell you about Chu Xingran's identity… You'll know if he wants to tell you," the ancestral god smiled ruefully.

"Do you know that your descendant, the Azure Dragon King, patriarch of the azure dragons, has taken Chu Xingran as his foster son?" Lu Yun raised.

The ancestral god gaped before he said haltingly, "That… is not good. That twerp Ao Chong has mistaken Chu Xingran to be my heir."

Ao Chong was the Azure Dragon King's name.

"So who is he?" Lu Yun grinned. "Is his background much more impressive than the Azure Dragon King's?"

"No!" the ancestral god responded resolutely. "Nothing good will come from revealing who Chu Xingran is. Ask him if you really want to know. I destroyed that section of my memories a long time ago."

He shut his mouth and said no more. Lu Yun nodded as well, cutting off his line of questioning.

"Very well then, stay here if you think this place is safe enough. You need to be careful as the supremes have started projecting themselves inside."

"I know," the ancestral god waved a copy of the day's spirit paper around.

Lu Yun: ……

Sources for the spirit paper were so thoroughly scattered around the fourth realm that anytime the outsiders made a move, it was thoroughly covered in the next day's issue. The paper was neither a Formula Academy creation nor a publication by Lu Yun alone. Payment for article and tip submission applied across the fourth realm—the same policy as newspapers previously on Earth.

Currently, the paper tracked the whereabouts of at least ten supremes. Whenever a supreme arrived, they immediately opened their dao palace to create a world of order to repulse immortal dao. The cultivators that the Golden Dragon King had thrown out also returned to the fourth realm, but with a solid grudge against the golden dragons.

Their swift reappearance was outside of the dragon king's expectations. He hadn't thought that the supremes would project themselves inside so quickly.

The Nebula Supreme had easily accomplished the deed before because the land's orders were weak and the openings enormous. Hence, he was able to force his way past order and escort his projection in with his dao palace.

But now, the fragmented Land of Reincarnation was whole and the Major Cycle Worlds were among them again. The orders of the fourth realm were flawless and it was much more difficult for the supremes to enter.

Nihil Homeland had been one of Lu Yun's traps for the supremes. After they projected themselves inside, he would restrict their movement through certain methods. However, the sudden appearance of the Golden Dragon King ruined that plan.

Whether it was the dragon king or Lu Yun, no one anticipated that these supremes would so quickly find another way to project their wills. Myriad Spirit and Firstspirit had managed to do so only because Lu Yun opened a door of direct access for them to the world of immortal dao sequence.

The arrival of the supremes caused another immense disturbance in the fourth realm. Supremes were existences beyond sequence that had coalesced dao palaces. Even if it was only a projection they sent, they were still far superior to the collective strength of the fourth realm.

Their presence was sure to cause enormous battles once they sought to occupy the worlds of the fourth realm. Personal factions would then rise on their new territory so they could be ready to attack the world of immortals at any time.

The world of immortals possessed the world of sequence and seed of nothing—their primary goals in this land.

A total of twenty-eight supremes were present in the land, but they limited themselves to setting up their dao palaces and occupying a modest portion of space. They didn't stretch out their hands to the nearby worlds.

First to arrive was the Greatred Supreme who'd discovered the time boundary. A young girl wearing black found him the second he landed triumphantly and beat the living daylights out of him. She wasn't from the chief worlds, but was a native of the fourth realm—the Demonic Vine!

Having refined the connate demon fetus and showing signs of accessing thirty-seven levels of sequence, she was the strongest among the natives of the Land of Reincarnation.

Not one of the strongest. The strongest.

Possessing thirty-six levels of sequence, reinforced by the aura of the demon fetus, wielding the Worldcarver ax that Pangu had gifted her and the Heavenfall spear that God had given her, she kicked in Greatred's front door and left only after he was reduced to a bruised mess on the ground.

The Greatred Supreme was a notable heavyweight who'd exceeded sequence after reaching thirty-two levels. But he couldn't return any of the vine's blows and had to beg for mercy after the third time his projection was smashed apart.

Seeing as this had to do with a supreme's dignity, Lu Yun wasn't brazen enough to have the spirit paper run a front page report on it.

Each of the subsequent twenty-seven supremes received a prompt visit from the Demonic Vine. Bearing Worldcarver and Heavenfall, she laid into them as soon as they arrived. This beat the superiority and arrogance out of them. Who would've thought that such a person would exist in the Land of Reincarnation?? They had no choice but to set their plans aside for now and keep themselves tightly in check.

Thanks to Lu Qing and the Demonic Vine's actions, the valiant outsiders baying for blood and glory thoroughly quieted down after forcing their way inside.

However, war was inevitable. As more supremes projected their wills inside, the vine began to meet her match. There were so many of them and she was no supreme.

Thus, the earliest batch of supremes began to stir with agitation again.

……

It'd been more than five hundred years since the first supreme entered the fourth realm. Today marked the twenty-nine thousandth, nine hundred and ninety-ninth year of the Xuanhuang calendar.

On this day, the azure dragon ancestral god brought out his treasure—the Jade Record of Creation—and refined it into himself. He leapt into immortal dao and became an immortal as well. The record was his treasure to begin with—he'd gifted it to Hongjun when he entered the Land of Reincarnation.

When the Three Pure Ones established immortal dao on the basis of human dao, Hongjun bequeathed the Jade Record of Creation to the immortal dao so that it would blossom through the worlds.

The current immortal dao thrived in a state of great perfection and no longer needed a treasure to anchor it. Thus, the ancestral god retrieved it and borrowed the presence of immortal dao on it to enter the great dao himself.

Now thirty-six levels of immortal dao sequence, the azure dragon ancestral god was on par with the Demonic Vine. However, he was much stronger given his experience. Even then, he was unable to break free of sequence because the worlds were flawed. With the state of the worlds, no one could exceed sequence no matter how strong they were.

That was why Lu Yun had wanted him to leave the Land of Reincarnation.
