Chapter 1886: Tomb of an Empyrean Supreme

And so, curtains fell on a titanic struggle for a treasure that didn’t have much to do with Lu Yun. He neither knew who ended up claiming the Sea of Creation, nor was any of this relevant to him.

Instead, he and Chu Xingran left the World of Soul Dominion.

“This is the real heavenly court,” Lu Yun couldn’t help remarking as he looked back at the crimson world behind them. “The primordial heavenly court was once rooted in this world…”

Chu Xingran turned for a look as well and nodded wordlessly. He was the only one left. The one hundred dragon geniuses by his side followed him no more—they were all dead.

Dead in the world of emotion.

Yun Yi cared only about Chu Xingran. In her eyes, the greatest purpose for the dead dragons was to hone the man’s mentality.

She’d succeeded.

The current Chu Xingran was unrecognizable from his past self. Previously vivacious and opinionated, he was now a quiet man of few words.

The Myriad Spirit Grand Supreme took a deep look at Lu Yun and Chu Xingran before waving his hand, whisking them all away from the world.

……

“I could’ve saved them.” Chu Xingran didn’t go about his business after returning to the Land of Reincarnation. He hovered directionless around Lu Yun, lost and helpless about how things had turned out.

“Don’t worry,” Lu Yun patted his shoulder. “They’re still alive.”

“Did you do something?” Chu Xingran blinked rapidly with fearful hope.

“Those should be the last hope of the dragons, so how could I let them die like that? So don’t worry, I collected some soul force from them when I left you guys and sent the soul force into the sea of Hell Flowers. They’ll resurrect before long and can go to the azure dragon ancestral god then.”

A broad grin split Chu Xingran’s face as an enormous weight crushing his chest lifted. Even he hadn’t thought that Lu Yun would do such a thing.

“What of the Azure Dragon King? Or Ao Qin?” Lu Yun frowned. “If the nine clawed golden dragon crushed Dragon City in the World of Soul Dominion, then he’ll definitely move against the azure dragons.”

The Azure Dragon King was most likely a grand supreme, but Nine Claw was beyond that.

Chu Xingran shook his head with resignation. “We can barely protect ourselves with our current strength, we don’t have anything to spare for those heavyweights. Perhaps not even the Myriad Spirit and Firstspirit Grand Supremes can save the dragon king.”

……

Lu Yun was in a bit of trouble these days. Instead of taking Myriad Spirit’s advice and going with the grand supreme to his world, he returned to the Land of Reincarnation.

Fires of war still burned throughout. After war ended between New Nihil Homeland and Nihil Homeland, the two factions regrouped for their common goal. While they weren’t on the same side as each other, they both wanted to occupy the Land of Reincarnation and seize its treasures.

They had a new direction these days—force the immortals of the land to acquiesce and release formula dao from immortal dao, thereby directing it into the chief worlds.

The marvelous nature of formula dao was well known. While there wasn’t anyone as heaven-defying as Qing Yu or Lu Yun in its usage, being able to access all supplemental daos through simply cultivating formula dao was enough to drive the outsiders mad.

A war never seen before swept through the Land of Reincarnation and showed signs of destroying it entirely. Only twentieth level sequence cultivators had entered the land before, but now senior cultivators could be glimpsed, and even stunning geniuses above forty levels.

There was nothing the Demonic Vine could do when faced with opponents of this caliber.

……

“They court death!” Lu Yun could barely sit still given the situation. Apart from the world of immortals and a few Formula Academies, all other worlds in the fourth realm had fallen to the enemy. None could resist when the chief worlds flexed their muscles.

“Shall we go?” the little fox asked uncertainly. “We can take our people and leave this land!”

“No,” Lu Yun shook his head. “There are certain aces that I didn’t dare use before out of concern that they’d attract powerhouses we couldn’t withstand… but we don’t need to worry about that anymore.”

“The tomb of an empyrean supreme has manifested in the chief worlds. The high supremes, grand supremes, and even more lofty powerhouses have all been drawn to it!” Chu Xingran commented.

The tomb of an empyrean supreme!

Lu Yun didn't know who the supreme was, but this was all anyone could talk about in the chief worlds these days. The tomb and the supreme’s affairs filled various editions of the spirit paper.

The version circulating in the chief worlds talked about nothing else and Myriad Spirit sent back word that this was the best chance for Lu Yun to counterattack. None of the chief world heavyweights had effort to spare for the land these days.

The appearance of the tomb meant an opportunity to become an empyrean supreme! There were none in the chief worlds at the moment.

Lu Yun tried to contact Tailong through the medallion and discovered that he’d left the chief worlds. This further cemented current circumstances as the best opportunity for the Land of Reincarnation to develop rapidly.

Both Myriad Spirit and Firstspirit had gone to the tomb.

“No wonder senior cultivators have come…” Lu Yun leered. Since the stronger supremes had left the chief worlds, there was nothing for him to worry about.

On a certain day in the thirty-one thousand and three hundredth year of the Xuanhuang calendar, the world of immortals finally struck back. It was a day in which blood didn’t stop flowing and despair was endless. At its end, all of the outsiders in New Nihil Homeland were dead!

No one knew what or how it’d happened, not even the projections of the supremes. Cultivators with Resurrection Talismans managed to come back to life a few times before they ran out of talismans and died for good.

Following that, all outsiders in the Land of Reincarnation were exterminated to the last. Again, no one knew why it took place. The only thing that was certain was that this was Lu Yun’s territory now.

Several hundred supremes projected their wills in to try to retake or rebuild their foundations in the Land of Reincarnation, but they all died the second they entered the land. Just as surprise reverberated through the chief worlds, grave injuries descended upon the primary bodies of the supremes and some outright died.

“It’s not the spacetime travelers, so who is it?! The god of Mount Tai??” What signs they could glean pointed to the mountain god, especially as no one was able to corral him. No one knew either that the god had left the Land of Reincarnation and was in the tomb of the empyrean supreme.
