Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 2002 – Kill Disorder

“I can recreate them after they’re destroyed,” snorted Lu Yun. He raised Heavenfall and stabbed the spear at the god of Mount Tai, nailing him onto the Jade Record of Creation.

“You’re mine,” a voice murmured in Lu Yun’s ear. He felt a fragrant wind brush past him, like something was burrowing toward his body.

“The spirit entity?” He shuddered, only just realizing what made this entity different. If it wanted to steal Lu Yun’s body, it could bypass his nascent spirit, soul, and even true spirit to occupy his thoughts. The Tome of Life and Death could protect his soul and true spirit, but it couldn’t safeguard his thoughts.

“Fuck off!” Lu Yun roared, hellfire exploding out of his body. He summoned Heavenfall back to his hand and swept it in the void around him.

Boom!

Another tremendous explosion sounded in the void. A simple greataxe had suddenly appeared in the depths of the sword formation and smashed heavily into the Jade Record of Creation.

Craaaaack.

The incomparably durable treasure splintered and began to fall apart.

“No!!” The spirit entity fighting a mental battle with Lu Yun keened and threw itself at the Jade Record of Creation. Heavenfall could slay gods and Worldcarver could break creation!

Worldcarver had been in Daoist Ingress’ grasp all along. He hadn’t brought it out because he wanted to break his Qingping Sword. Now that the sword was shattered, he changed to wielding Worldcarver instead. Even the Disordered Empyrean Supreme was stunned by the insane move.

Some marvelous things had happened the last time Daoist Ingress attacked the treasure with the Qingping Sword. While those memories dispersed with the destruction of his replica, he wasn’t willing to give up that amazing truth without further fight. Thus, he brought out Worldcarver to hack at the Jade Record of Creation.

His replica had attacked the treasure in order to destroy the Qingping Sword so that Daoist Ingress could rebuild anew. This time, he attacked the treasure because he wanted to break it.

……

This time, there was no heaven-shattering collision or an eerie vanishing of their five senses. It was like an ordinary axe had crashed into an ordinary plate.

A crisp shattering sound traveled into their ears.

Bam!

The broken Jade Record of Creation filled the sky as shards and dispersed in all directions as motes of light.

“I… broke the scheme? Just like that?” Daoist Ingress stared dumbly at the scattering bits of light, finding everything very unreal.

Yun Yi had used her life to set up this plot so the Jade Record of Creation could take physical form. But Jiang Chen had first prevented it from manifesting, then Daoist Ingress shattered it.

So… Yun Yi failed? All of her calculations and schemes ended with an ignoble whimper in this burial mound?

“No, wait!” Lu Yun yelled. “Don’t let the fragments of the Jade Record of Creation leave this place! The burial mound buries the treasure! Destroy them, destroy them all!

“Yun Yi’s goal isn’t to help the Jade Record of Creation take form, but to destroy it!” he screamed. “It’s too invincible to be broken! Heavenfall can destroy creation, but not the tangible form of the Jade Record of Creation. Inducing it to take physical form weakens it enough to break it with Worldcarver!”

Although he was yelling his head off, his voice only appeared in Daoist Ingress, Chen Xiao, Qing Buyi, Tailong, and Lu Feng’s ears. They were the only ones he trusted on the scene.

The three spacetime travelers and Tailong hadn’t left with the others as they were far stronger than the other peak grand supremes. While they didn’t understand what all of this had to do with Yun Yi, the depth of emotion in the young man’s voice spurred them to immediate action.

They rose into the air and laid waste to the shards about to leave the major world. Daoist Ingress came to his senses as well and relit the darkened sword formation.

“Oh?” sneered the Disordered Empyrean Supreme when she saw their actions. “Are you trying to stop the Jade Record of Creation from leaving? Sadly for you, I won’t allow you to succeed.”

She whistled and grasped a black spear from the air. Stabbing swiftly with a vicious backhand, the spear turned into a black dragon that dove at Daoist Ingress. This world was enveloped by his formation. The shards of the Jade Record of Creation would be free as soon as they broke it.

Indeed, free.

The spirit entity attacking Lu Yun crumbled away the second the treasure shattered, transforming into spirit shards that melted into the treasure fragments. Its addition gave the fragments light, like it bestowed them life.

At the sight of that, Lu Yun no longer knew whether the spirit entity was born of the tainted Jade Record of Creation or if it was another external entity. But he did discover one thing, that the first step of Yun Yi’s scheme was complete.

Shattering the Jade Record of Creation was simply the first step. It was Daoist Ingress who came with Worldcarver, and only someone as completely lawless as him would do something as inconceivable like this. All of that had been within Yun Yi’s calculations.

Only his sword formation could envelop this world and prevent the treasure from escaping. Therefore, the only one in the World of Immortals who returned to the heights of peak grand supreme was Daoist Ingress.

Then the next step…

Lu Yun looked at the Disordered Empyrean Supreme. This resurrected empyrean supreme needs to die here. For some reason, a buoyant emotion appeared in his heart as he itched to try the impossible. He wanted to see what Yun Yi was trying to accomplish with a plan that demanded her life as the price.

When would the power that she’d sacrificed herself for appear?

Lu Yun found himself accepting his role as a pawn in this moment. Kill the Disordered Empyrean Supreme? Why, he had to do it, of course. He was the only one here who could.

The Imperial Seal!

The seal that Qiu Feishan had delivered was meant to kill the Disordered Empyrean Supreme. He could clearly sense a new power within it that didn’t belong to the treasure. It was stronger than peak grand supreme and he would’ve rejected it before. Using it would never cross his mind, but when he deduced that it was meant to kill the Disordered Empyrean Supreme, he happily took ahold of it.

That empyrean supreme had coveted his hell dao all this time, showing a desire that far eclipsed that of the mountain god’s.

“Oh hang on a moment, I’m playing right into her hands again,” Lu Yun suddenly realized. His hell dao was likely a factor in Yun Yi’s preparations as well. If not him, then someone else with hell dao would receive the Disordered Empyrean Supreme’s attentions and be in charge of killing her.

The empyrean supreme was utilizing her full strength—the black spear was the ultimate treasure she’d refined after becoming an empyrean supreme. It was a bonafide empyrean treasure, one that she hadn’t planned on bringing out just yet. Playing the pig could continue until all unknown moving pieces were revealed, but there was no need for her to hide anything after Daoist Ingress smashed the Jade Record of Creation.

Killing Ingress, destroying the formation, and releasing the treasure’s fragments… None of that was important. Killing Ingress so she could get at Lu Yun’s hell dao was the primary goal.

Her black spear exploded with power, a state echoed by her glowing head. She fully suppressed Daoist Ingress and Worldcarver. The greataxe was no match for her, not when she wielded her ultimate treasure and the shamanic ancestor’s skull. She’d set foot into the next level and possessed the real strength of a true empyrean supreme.

BOOM!

Daoist Ingress fell heavily to the ground.

“You will die here today, Ingress, forever. You will keep the wills of the dead company in this world.” The Disordered Empyrean Supreme whistled again and stepped forward, the spear a streak of radiant light that stabbed at her opponent’s forehead.

But at the same time, a tiny jade seal abruptly appeared in front of her spear’s tip.
