Chapter 1918 – Subduing the Dark World

Chapter 1918 – Subduing the Dark World

The Dark World rapidly minimized and landed in Lu Yun’s hand, stunning cultivators outside the world. They were still dithering over whether to utilize certain forbidden methods to rush into the Dark World and fight Lu Yun for the world heart. But he’d cut them off at the knees and claimed the entire world!

They rubbed their eyes fiercely, confirming that, indeed, the Dark World was gone. It was replaced by Lu Yun sitting cross-legged in the void.

Darkstar major world collectively reeled with surprise. Countless beings rushed out of it and stood in the void, gaping at Lu Yun and not knowing what to say. With the disappearance of the Dark World, a tendril of light shot in from the chief worlds and illuminated dusky Darkstar.

“Lu Yun!” sounded a furious roar. “Where is the divine spirit of my clan?!”

It was a high supreme that exuded dense ripples of dark dao. He was a Moran high supreme.

Some in the Moran Clan knew that the manifestation of dark dao had slipped into the Dark World. Even if Lu Yun hadn’t scared off Jiang Lu and the others, the clan would’ve surreptitiously cleared away all obstacles for her.

But there was no sight of the girl to be found after Lu Yun collected the Dark World! They couldn’t sit still after this horrifying discovery and jumped out at first light.

Only a high supreme dare take Lu Yun to task, however. The others shook like cicadas in the winter and stared mutely at the young man.

Claim the Dark World?

He’d collected the entire world? What kind of strategy was this and how much personal strength did it take to manage such a feat?

The Dark Worlds had become a poisonous tumor in the side of the chief worlds after they appeared, constantly releasing creatures of darkness to pester and erode the chief worlds. It wasn’t until the legendary mistress of the myths appeared with a certain method to constrain them that the Dark Worlds quieted down somewhat.

Only somewhat, as they still exploded with activity at regular intervals.

Although there were resources unique to the Dark Worlds to be found on their soil and it was an apt enough trial ground for cultivators, unaccountable danger still lurked around every corner. Hence, vast sums of grand supremes attended the opening of every Dark World, preventing accidents from taking place.

The unexpected had indeed occurred a few times, but the supremes received large amounts of resources at the same time. Thus fortified, they rose with unstoppable momentum and became apex personages in the realm.

The grand supremes never gave up on excising these tumors. Several hundred of them once joined hands in a collective effort, but the Dark Worlds yet remained. How had one of them been removed after all of the grand supremes entered the tomb of the empyrean supreme??

This Lu Yun who’d appeared out of nowhere took on a mysterious and impenetrable cast in their eyes, inspiring deep veneration from all chief world cultivators. At the same time, he felt wisps of goodwill converge on him—particularly from Darkstar.

The major world bore the brunt of any disturbance from the Dark World. Most of its cultivators were dead, out of commission, or had emigrated elsewhere. No one liked to dwell in a world without light.

Those who lived on Darkstar now were either stationed here to prevent the Dark World’s unrest from spilling over elsewhere, or geniuses on a trip to temper themselves. Neither party liked where they were, but they had no choice but to be here.

Now that everything had been resolved, they were free. Hence, only the Moran high supreme screamed with shock and dismay.

“Your divine spirit?” A tiny dot of black light sparkled in the void as a blue-haired girl padded out, the manifestation of dark dao dangling from her hand. “This one?”

The Moran high supreme shuddered a few times as he looked at the barely breathing manifestation. Eyes wide open with horror, he lost every last bit of his courage.

The manifestation of dark dao was a divine spirit that the Moran Clan had hidden away. It was the reason why they were able to remain unyielding at the peak of the chief worlds even after their grave setbacks. But now she hung like a dead dog from the blue-haired girl’s grasp.

The high supreme had seen the blue-haired girl before—she and the manifestation were inseparable. They were best friends, but they seemed to have turned on each other now.

Scanning the premises, the blue-haired girl turned around and strode through a door, entering hell.

A final droplet of water vanished into Lu Yun’s hand, accompanied by his long exhale. He’d finally completely subdued the Dark World. It was a vessel that bridged the world of reality and the one of the mind. It could contain a true, tangible world.

Such were Mo Yi’s abilities. Instead of vanishing, the chaotic power created by the Dark World was held by the world spirit and sent elsewhere. Soul Dominion was also a world of the mind similar to the World of Soul Dominion. She’d packed it up with something similar to a world heart and taken it away.

……

Lu Yun slowly rose to his feet. He swayed and almost toppled over. Oddly enough, the innumerable pairs of eyes on him also felt a bit dizzy and their owners echoed his motion in spite of themselves.

“Where… where have you put the Dark World?” the Moran high supreme rasped.

“What, do I need to report to you what I’ve done to the Dark World?” Lu Yun retorted weakly, his face drained of color. “How about I send the Dark World to Moran Clan territory? Or shall I bring you to it for a look around?”

“There’s no need!” The high supreme quickly shook his head when he thought of the blue-haired girl who’d briefly appeared. When even his clan’s divine spirit had been taken away, he’d be courting death to continue down the same path!

He spun on his heel and left without second thought. Matters here had to be communicated to those in the tomb no matter what, so that the Moran powerhouses in the empyrean supreme’s tomb could prepare accordingly.

Lu Yun couldn’t be bothered with him. He’d exhausted too much mental power when comprehending the world spirit earlier and his mind would be severely weakened for a while.

Moran Dongning had returned to hell, leaving Nightmare and the big-headed doll protecting Lu Yun from the shadows.

They could not afford to step into the spotlight at this moment, and there was no need for them to. Despite showing obvious weakness, no one dared approach Lu Yun. Luo Qian and Luo Ming also stood off to the side, their hands at their sides and passively watching the proceedings.

After a long while, Lu Yun finally found his bearings and looked at a corner of the void. “Nightmare, let’s go to the Ghost Sect.”

“Alright!” Her eyes lit up. She’d thought that Lu Yun would return to hell first after recovering to refine the orders of hell. She hadn’t thought that he’d want to go to the Ghost Sect!

Although her mother was also a grand supreme, she was at most on par with Luo Ming. She wasn’t a powerhouse among supremes and had to face pressure from both chief world factions and the Dark Hell.

The current Ghost Sect swayed and teetered in the wind. Lu Yun visiting them would certainly bring them hope.
