Necropolis Immortal-Chapter 1831: Immortals of the Chief Worlds

Chapter 1831: Immortals of the Chief Worlds

Lu Yun didn't feel like he was exploiting the masses. Everyone who walked into the Wind and Cloud Pagoda could afford the Resurrection Talisman. They were the richest magnates in the chief worlds.

Since more than eighty percent of them viewed Lu Yun as the enemy, it would be a disservice to himself and the fourth realm if he didn't take them for all he was worth!

Although he was a minor character, these personages gave him due consideration because he was situated in the Land of Reincarnation and owned its most precious treasure. Any powerhouse that could loftily survey the chief worlds would take each of their opponents seriously. They would bring their full force to bear even against only an ant.

Lu Yun had quietly slipped into the chief worlds. No one was aware of his presence other than Lu Feng. Chu Xingran didn't know either—he remained completely in the dark that Lu Yun was already headed to the Firmament Prison to save his primary body.

On this trip, Lu Yun utilized the Shapeshifting death art to hide himself. Due to the formation of the origin hell and subsequent full release of reincarnation from the Tome of Life and Death, the death arts reached a state of great perfection. Shapeshifting and Size Manipulation no longer gave off the ripples of combat arts and could flawlessly conceal their wielder.

He currently appeared as a buff young man. Muscles rippled over his frame and his features were roughly hewn—a far cry from the reedy, frail young man that he'd presented before. His weapon was a pair of great axes that he'd specifically practiced for the occasion and reached great proficiency with.

Now at twenty-four levels of sequence, cultivators like him lined the streets of the chief worlds. He was completely unremarkable and didn't need a plausible identity for his presence. The outside realm was so vast that apart from the particularly notable names—such as Ao Qin, Jiang Kui, other peerless geniuses and experts—ordinary cultivators rarely left traces of themselves.

The overall layout of the chief worlds was extraordinarily similar to the fourth realm. Countless worlds or stars floated in an endless void. There was heaven and earth here—the ultimate product of order, so this realm was called the chief worlds.

Order no longer required anything for support once the true power of heaven and earth coalesced. Where there was heaven and earth, there was order.

This realm gave Lu Yun the feeling of a fish returning to water. He could freely swim in every direction and travel completely unimpeded. His strength was double what it was in the Land of Reincarnation!

No wonder their geniuses seem so off when they first enter the land. Their strength is constrained by the incomplete worlds.

He was no longer worried about his home after the origin hell was complete. He could return to hell at any time and set foot back into the fourth realm. Powerhouses of the chief worlds didn't dare march en masse on the fourth realm—but not because of Lu Yun. He was just prey in their eyes.

They feared Hongjun, Pangu, God, and the others who'd once illuminated the chief worlds. It didn't matter whether or not Lu Yun was in the fourth realm.

Other than that, Lu Yun discovered that he was unable to incorporate Ruina into hell after he formed the origin hell. Although the five Ruinas were now part of hell and formed the five Ruina Seas within the underworld, there was still a distinct line drawn between the two. They weren't fully melded into one.

Both Mo Yi and Lin Mo could do nothing about the situation. Only the Firmament Prison could command Ruina to fully become part of hell.

Lu Yun had thought that Ruina and the Firmament Prison were branches of hell, but that didn't seem to be the case anymore. Although they shared similar attributes, they were not branches of hell. As existences beneath reincarnation, the three were similarly positioned in the hierarchy of power.

Although the two locales were named differently from hell, all three were essentially hell. Hell was the medium for reincarnation; the power of reincarnation in Ruina and the Firmament Prison also came from hell, giving rise to the misconception that the two were subservient to hell.

And since they were separate entities that didn't share the exact same attributes, the power of reincarnation within the three evolved in different directions. Thus, they were vastly different from each other. Hell dao was truly complete only when they were one.

The hell dao that Lu Yun cultivated now was the original and most primitive hell dao. It could grow only when Ruina and the Firmament Prison were incorporated into it. He might even be able to unlock the secrets of the Tome of Life and Death when he drew on all three hells. That was the greatest mystery that yet lingered in his heart.

His trip to the Firmament Prison wasn't for its core essence or to repair it, but to simply take a look around and save Chu Xingran and Xie Tianxun.

……

Lu Yun was in a major world called Huangpang. This was a major stopping point on the way to the Firmament Prison, an ideal location for him to resupply and take stock of his current condition.

"Hmm?" Something entered his range of perception and he turned to look diagonally behind him.

A young man in a white shirt soared by in a long streak of sword light. This was the sword riding art of immortal dao!

An immortal?

Lu Yun's jaw dropped and he rubbed his eyes. That was indeed the ripples of immortal dao on the young man… one who'd accessed eighteen levels of sequence.

An immortal from the fourth realm? Someone who left through Mount Astronomia?

Local powerhouses had sealed off that vicinity in order to prevent traitors from running off to the chief worlds with fourth realm treasures. Outsiders and locals alike were prevented from using the door outside the mountain. Even if one had already defected, they could at most enter New Nihil Homeland or Nihil Homeland. They were strictly forbidden from traveling to the chief worlds.

The taboo had not been lifted even when New Nihil Homeland and Nihil Homeland's bloody war raged. Thus, Lu Yun was taken aback to see an immortal out in the open.

Was there immortal dao in the chief worlds? That was news to him!

"Congratulations on achieving new mastery in your dao, Yu Jiang!" someone on the ground called out to the immortal.

"Call me Sword Immortal Yu Jiang!" He stopped with a look of pride on his face. "I cultivated immortal dao only for the mysterious formula dao at first, but once I was initiated into it, I found that it encompasses all sorts of dao. It's far superior to the great dao that I cultivated before!

"I'm more than three times stronger than my old self after accessing immortal dao sequence!"

"What? Really?!" More people beneath him joined the conversation when they heard this. "You're making things up to drag us in with you! You want others to suffer too just because you jumped into a trap!"

"That's right! The immortal dao comes from the Disintegrated Land, a place so remote that birds won't shit in it! How is it as marvelous as you say? And three times stronger than before? You're three times dumber than before!"

"Hahahahaha!!" Raucous laughter rose from the crowd.

"Why would anyone cultivate immortal dao if they're not dumb?" someone snorted.

"Fight me then! You'll know soon enough if I'm stronger now!"

Whoosh!

A white longsword appeared in Yu Jiang's hand.

"Come on! Anyone on the same eighteen levels as me can challenge me. I'll give you one hundred enigma stones if I lose!" he roared in the air.
