Chapter 1909 – The Power of the Master of Darkness
Ruina devoured its surroundings as if it were a massive black hole. Though it hadn’t melded into Lu Yun’s hell dao, he’d refined it with hellfire and turned it into his personal treasure.
Just like the nine clawed golden dragon had said, if Sikong Myriad Treasure sought to decisively slap Lu Yun to death, the young man would have no other option but to use his trump card of the Army Pagoda. The Soldier King had also been a grand supreme in his prime.
These days, the Soldier King and his men had left their pagoda for hell. They’d been transformed into living beings in the netherworld, leaving the Army Pagoda as an indestructible soul weapon. Even a grand supreme would have to spend some effort to destroy it. The amount of time required would have been sufficient for Nine Claw to make an answering move and slap Sikong Myriad Treasure to death instead.
And indeed, Lu Yun had been ready to haul out the pagoda. But to think that the grand supreme would let him into his dao palace instead?
Well then, don’t mind if I do.
The dao palace of sea dao sequence contained an origin sea—but the final resting place of all seas, be it the world of sea dao sequence or the one in the dao palace, was Ruina. Therefore, Ruina manifested with a daunting flare of hellfire and turned into a black hole that swallowed Sikong Myriad Treasure’s dao palace.
The grand supreme began to collapse as well, crumpling into a ball before he could react and also sinking into Ruina’s depths. With his disappearance, the dao palace twinkled out of existence.
Lu Yun reappeared where the grand supreme had stood and summoned Argent Snow back into his hand.
“Sikong Myriad Treasure is dead,” he calmly announced. “A grand supreme has died in my hands. Whoever still wants to find issue with me should be quick about it.”
He surveyed the surroundings, a smile deepening on his face. Ringing silence from the entire major world answered him. For a split second before Sikong Myriad Treasure was sucked into the black hole, they all glimpsed a dense air of death around him. It was the sign of a grand supreme perishing.
Lu Yun… really had killed a grand supreme!
Was it him, or was it immortal dao? Or even formula dao?
None of that mattered.
Lu Yun cultivated immortal dao, which contained formula dao. Everything that he demonstrated made him more than worthy of being hailed a powerhouse!
In the Wind and Cloud Pagoda, Luo Ming smiled wryly at Luo Qian.
“Why didn’t you tell me that… the illustrious master… is so brilliantly strong?” Absolute ruefulness filled his face. No matter what methods Lu Yun used, killing a grand supreme was indicative of his strength. Getting started on a matter was always the most difficult part. Killing one grand supreme meant that he could kill a second, a third…
“I already told you that the boss doesn’t view him as a regular foster brother.” Luo Qian flicked a sideways glance at her colleague. “You’re the one who didn’t listen. But with what the illustrious master is doing in Darkstar, it might result in undesirable consequences for him.
“Things are fine now because all of us are lower ranked grand supremes. Once the affair of the empyrean supreme’s tomb is over, I’m afraid that the Starcatch Grand Supreme will not easily let this matter go.”
The Starcatch Grand Supreme was a premier grand supreme who was not someone to offend, despite not reaching Yun Yi’s level. Since Lu Yun had killed Sikong Myriad Treasure, the Starcatch Grand Supreme would certainly kill the young man in return when his attention was freed up.
Given his cultivation level, it wasn’t likely that the nine clawed golden dragon would be able to stop him.
“Then we won’t let him come back.” Killing intent shone out of Luo Ming’s small and bright eyes. “Tell the boss to kill the Starcatch Grand Supreme in the tomb of the empyrean supreme!”
He was wholeheartedly loyal to Lu Feng. Now that Lu Yun demonstrated his value, he would naturally find ways to protect the young man.
……
Lu Yun didn’t care what Luo Ming and Luo Qian thought of him. He raised his head to look at a patch of deep darkness extending out of the Dark World in the distance. It stretched toward Darkstar like a black bridge.
The Dark World was about to open. This was just a prelude, but a horde of endarkened was already rushing out of it. They came in all shapes and sizes, looking similar to the creatures of darkness that Lu Yun had seen in the fourth realm. Their bodies seemed to be pieced together from various corpses as opposed to being complete living beings themselves.
Lu Yun frowned, feeling something appear on his face—a ghostly face that laughed and cried at the same time.
The Master of Darkness!
Moran Dongning’s treasure erupted with power, drawing authority from the Dark World and manifesting on Lu Yun’s face. The howling and gibbering endarkened abruptly quieted down. Falling to the ground like they’d seen one of their gods, they worshiped the human male in front of them.
“What is… the Master of Darkness?” Lu Yun regarded the development with wide eyes. He didn’t actually think of himself as their god. Terrifying power exploded out of his hand as he waved it and sent them all flying.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The creatures exploded one after another and turned to dust. Lu Yun’s eyebrows shot into his hairline. This was not his strength!
“Is this the power of the Master of Darkness?” Nightmare came out of nowhere. If she entered the Dark World right now, she would unleash the power of a grand supreme. But currently, even a grand supreme was an ant in front of Lu Yun!
The hidden grand supremes in Darkstar, including the nine clawed golden dragon, stared incredulously at Lu Yun.
“That woman wasn’t nearly this frightening when she used the treasure…” the nine clawed golden dragon swallowed hard. Lu Yun was only a supreme, but he was demonstrating power on par with the likes of Yun Yi!
“Yes,” Lu Yun nodded. “Yes, this is indeed the power of the Master of Darkness. But it’s not mine, so I can only fully utilize it in the Dark World. C’mon, let’s go take a look!”
He jumped onto the bridge of darkness—it was completely empty since he’d cleaned out all of the endarkened. He and Nightmare smoothly arrived in front of the Dark World.
“It’s not open yet.” Luo Qian arrived, looking a bit uneasily at the ghostly face over Lu Yun’s features. “It needs some more time. The doors will open when the world heart has fully stabilized.”
