Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 2231.1: Kill You All The Same

A black sun rose in the air, its faint rays blotting out the listless sun of the Celestial Realm Battlefront. Terrifying aura surged in all directions and any cultivator affected by it turned beet red.

Dressed in long white robes, Lu Yun slowly drifted up into the air and stood beneath the black sun. He looked coolly at the group of Great Xia cultivators dressed in black.

“That young man… is terrifying” The curvaceous woman stared dumbly at the young man, unable to connect him with the boy who’d just been smiling shyly.

“The hell, Sword First and Ying Kongkong have nothing on him! They’re not even a grasshopper in front of him…” Tiger swallowed hard.

Lu Yun turned out empty hands that were bare of treasures. “All of you will die today even if Marquis Skyglory comes himself,” he enunciated slowly.

“Listen to you talk!” sternly rebuked the youngsters at the lead of the Great Xia contingent. They could sense the terrifying aura from Lu Yun, but being Great Xia cultivators and answering to the banner of a marquis, they held their own pride.

“Kill them, leave not a single Jade Ruins cultivator alive!”

“Kill!” the youngsters ordered. Several hundred cultivators in black raised sword light in response and rushed toward the masses below.

No one was a fool—none of them were a match for the young man and his harrowing aura. They weren’t here to bash their brains against a rock, but to clear out the Jade Ruins cultivators below. Someone else would take care of the young man.

The cultivators in black were so fast that they swiftly cut through large swathes of Jade Ruins cultivators after landing. There was nothing that the latter could do in response.

“Die!” Lu Yun’s voice seemed to emanate from hell itself; it was empty and without emotion. The black sun over his head—the wheel of Water Reincarnation—burst with power. Vast water origin suffused the area and turned the air within fifty kilometers viscous and sticky.

Great Xia cultivators that’d been flashing through the crowd were firmly trapped by the power of water origin.

Lu Yun padded down from the sky.

“If I might borrow your sword.” He walked up to the alluring woman and beckoned with his right hand, summoning her flying sword. His display of sword light wasn’t particularly cutting. It seemed more like a picture of radiant, blossoming fireworks. The sword was delicate and exquisite, just like its owner.

While Lu Yun’s strokes didn’t contain killing intent, they landed precisely on every single Great Xia cultivator. All several hundred were dead within the blink of an eye, apart from the leaders in the air.

The wheel of black light slowly dissipated in the void, taking the viscosity with it and leaving behind five tongue-tied youngsters overhead.

“They’re… all dead, truly dead.” Lu Yun’s lips curved upward in an extraordinarily beautiful smile. “It’s your turn next.”

Humm!

A pillar of piercing light rose from the War Gods Ranking and shot for the horizon. Lu Yun’s figure flashed through the light before the stone tablet trembled. Sword First’s name was demoted from first place, replaced by a new name.

Sir Heaven.

Sir Heaven had been added to the War Gods Ranking as number one!

Jaws dropped at the sight, including Lu Yun’s.

It looks like the heavenly book accepts the title that the Jade Ruins cultivators have bestowed upon me. Lu Yun quickly understood the situation. One did not need to use a real name in the Celestial Realm Battlefront. When he entered the battlefront as Slaughterless eight thousand years ago, that had been a moniker as well.

Sword First… was also likely a fake name. However, the heavenly book accepting a title given by others was a rare occurrence indeed. The Jade Ruins battlefront stilled when everyone saw the name.

“Sir Heaven… he’s Sir Heaven!” The curvaceous woman gaped at Lu Yun, completely flabbergasted. She’d just considered him an ungrateful fool, but he was the legendary Sir Heaven?

“Sir Heaven, Sir Heaven is really here! We’re saved!” Cultivators all over the battlefront brightened.

“Sir Heaven!”

“Sir Heaven!” Momentary silence was shattered when shouts of joy echoed over the land. Countless cultivators screamed with all of their might.

……

Darklake Empire, Dark City, the Lu Clan.

Within the underground seed storage formation, green light flashed over Lu Yun’s cross-legged form. It formed a wheel of green light that faded into a tiny green vortex, one that disappeared into the Seal of the Multitude.

One incense stick of gratitude.

Preoccupied with incubating the dragon egg, Mu Ge opened her eyes with astonishment.

“Not only does that kid have the presence of order on him… but was that wheel of green light gratitude??” she murmured.

……

Hum hum hum hum hum…

Black light flashed past Lu Yun as a flying sword one meter long and emanating a black hue slowly coalesced in front of the young man. He subconsciously reached forward; it flew into his hand like it possessed its own consciousness. His mind and heart instantly became one with the weapon and thoroughly refined it.

Paramount dao rank weapon—Immortals Decline.

This was the heavenly book’s reward to him for entering the War Gods Ranking. With the immortal sword in hand, vast water origin gathered to him from all sides and formed a massive vortex around him. The cheers beneath him grew louder at the sight.

“You’re that Sir Heaven?” The Great Xia cultivators regarded Lu Yun with horror. They’d had some confidence in facing off against Lu Yun moments earlier, but all of it had turned to horror.

Sir Heaven!

He was the cultivator who cut down Great Xia empyrean immortals in the Jade Ruins Realm. The young man could truly be considered invincible in the Celestial Realm Battlefront!

“I said that all of you will die.” Lu Yun’s gaze was remote. The mentality forged through three thousand lifetimes was not easily ruffled. If I want you to die, then you must die. Not even an immortal emperor can save you.

Such was Lu Yun.

Hum hum hum hum hum.

Radiance swirled through Immortals Decline as Lu Yun brought a sword stroke down on the remaining youngsters.

BAM!

Golden brilliance flashed through the void and rebuffed his blow. A man in his thirties—dressed in golden armor and wielding a golden immortal sword—stood in the air.

“How dare you threaten those of Marquis Skycloud’s estate!” He snarled and took a stand in front of the youngsters.

“So I have, what can you do about it?” Lu Yun took a step back and brandished his word.

“Voluntarily confine yourself and come with me to answer for your crimes.” The man’s aura abruptly exploded with the boundless power of heaven and earth.

An immortal.

The man in golden armor was an immortal, and a very strong immortal.

“Kill him, grand overseer!” shouted the only woman out of the group. “He killed several hundred of our cultivators!”

“What an utter disgrace all of you are. You will enter closed door cultivation upon our return and will not set foot into Celestial Realm Battlefront for three years,” the man snorted.

“Understood…” The youngsters lowered their heads, not daring to defy the grand overseer of the marquis’ household.

“None of you will be going back,” Lu Yun said softly to the man. “I said they would die, so they will die.”

“I’d like to see just how they will die. You guys will go back first.” The man raised his sword with a burst of splendor and stabbed it at Lu Yun’s forehead.

Whoosh!

Lu Yun twisted his body and sent Immortals Decline exploding into a black dragon coiled in the sky. Rather than the Eighteen Cerulean Sword Dragons, it was another powerful sword technique—Coiled Dragon Strike.

The technique’s splendid sword light coalesced into a black dragon hovering in the sky. It pierced through countless planes and arrived in front of the youngsters about to leave.

Pfft pfft pfft pfft…

The massive dragon churned in the air, drawing agonized shrieks from the group. Their bodies were flayed alive by thousands of rays of sword light.

“They are dead now.” Lu Yun’s form reappeared when the dragon faded away. “Fully dead.”

“You… destroyed their true spirits!” The man knew things were dire when his sword struck empty air. He turned around to see the youngsters already dead to the sword light. True spirits that should’ve been protected by the heavenly book’s rules were obliterated by the sword light!

Someone who could destroy true spirits in the Celestial Realm Battlefront was an absolute genius in Great Xia.

“A perverse genius? I shall end you today!” The man flew into a rage. He howled, fully releasing his aura and directing endless power of heaven and earth at Lu Yun.
