Chapter 1993 – Replica

Vicious intent filled Tailong’s handsome face. He and those he’d fought alongside couldn’t destroy an ultimate treasure like the Jade Record of Creation, but the organs of the world were a different matter. As strong as they were and filled with the will of heaven and earth, they weren’t indestructible.

The set in the world of immortals, for example, had once been destroyed and repaired only through the function of the altars.

“Don’t make any brash moves,” Lu Yun quickly cautioned when he heard Tailong’s eruption. “The organs are no ordinary object and might have been worshiped to divine status. I strongly suspect that the spirit inside the Jade Record of Creation is the one from the organs.

“Perhaps it’s the organs of the world that are looking for a body for themselves.”

The group blinked when they heard his words. The organs of the world could reach divine status through sufficient worship!

That had been the case for the lungs in the world of immortals—they’d become a god by the time Lu Yun found them.

He couldn’t determine who it was behind all this. Who’d mobilized the puppets of chaos dirt and their master’s cultivation level was also a mystery. All he had was speculation. Since the organs of the world could become gods, that was his first target of suspicion.

“You guys stay here and be on the alert, I’ll go take care of it,” Lu Yun said after a while of thought.

“My strategist, you’re not a peak grand supreme yet, are you?” Tailong asked worriedly.

“This Heavenfall in my hand is God’s ultimate treasure. God is the ancestor of all gods, so any divine spirit born later than him must come under his control,” Lu Yun answered confidently. “If the organs of the world have truly become a god, then he won’t withstand a single blow from Heavenfall.”

The will that he’d destroyed with his earlier jab had gravely injured the treasure spirit. The second had broken the Hongmeng qi and sent it fleeing for shelter. That reaction raised Lu Yun’s suspicions.

The enemy put up almost no resistance when faced with the spear’s might.

“Ge Long gave me another treasure as well. So while I’m not a peak grand supreme myself, I am completely unafraid to face them,” the young man chuckled. That finally set the group at ease.

If the organs of the world really had become a god, just three spacetime travelers and one peak grand supreme wouldn’t hold him back. It would take at least an empyrean supreme for the task. But with Heavenfall in hand, the divine spirit couldn’t harm Lu Yun.

He leapt upward and vanished beneath the chaos dirt. Seeming to sense the advent of danger, the chaos dirt puppets reappeared and flung themselves at the peak grand supremes on the scene.

For every peak grand supreme they killed, it meant one step closer to taking shape for the Jade Record of Creation. If the treasure could manifest a physical form to house the organs of the world, then the spirit would no longer need to fear items such as Heavenfall. However, the mission had to be accomplished before Lu Yun reached it!

The battle between the four within the treasure intensified, but one could tell that the three allied against the Disordered Empyrean Supreme weren’t of one heart. They turned on each other whenever she was spent and tried to eliminate the other two.

Numerous peak grand supremes tried to make their way into the Jade Record of Creation, but the remobilization of the puppets and their increasing numbers forced them to give up on the idea. They had to focus on rebuffing the never-ending horde of enemies.

……

Lu Yun deployed the Mastery of the Five Elements death art and combined himself with the chaos dirt around him. Chaos dirt counted as part of the earth element. This death art had reached great perfection after the Tome of Life and Death metamorphosed, making it possible for the Mastery of the Five Elements to simulate even chaos dirt.

The organs of heaven and earth were buried extremely deep in the ground. Lu Yun was relying on the hint of sensitivity he’d developed after refining another set to track them down. Cerulean splendor suddenly flashed by him—the big snake from the Ingress Jade Heavens!

“So what are you doing here?” Lu Yun asked curiously. “Is your true form a snake?”

“You know who I am?” The snake’s lidless eyes blinked with astonishment.

“You’re Ge Long! C’mon, how would I not recognize you?” Lu Yun smacked his lips. “Ingress was a dead giveaway!”

Cerulean light flared from the snake’s body as it slowly took dao form—Daoist Ingress.

“Are you the forefather of Ingress Jade Heavens or what?” Lu Yun was completely unperturbed by the development. While the old man had said that he couldn’t afford to stay in the Disordered Sea, Lu Yun had hardly believed that he would leave, just like that.

Daoist Ingress wasn’t a docile or placid sort. Whether he was Ge Long or his current identity, he would certainly stick his nose into a matter like the tomb of the empyrean supreme.

“I count as… Ingress Jade Heavens’… spiritual leader, I guess? I was the first empyrean supreme and my status was similar to the primordial heavenly emperor of the chief worlds,” Daoist Ingress responded truthfully.

“The Jade and Grand Pure Ones have similar identities, but the three of us have been dead for so long that our respective realms have long since disavowed us. As for this big snake… hehehe, I killed him when I came across him and turned him into a replica.”

Daoist Ingress was still on the path of recovery. He’d been an empyrean supreme in his prime and was currently only a peak grand supreme.

While he was just a peak grand supreme, he stood at the apex of that cultivation level. Thus, killing the cerulean snake and refining it had been an easy matter. The dirk that he’d given Lu Yun was the snake’s most precious treasure.

After Daoist Ingress himself died, all of his own treasures had been partitioned by the Ingress Jade Heavens powerhouses.

“Coming to kill the divine spirit with me?” Lu Yun chuckled.

“Don’t kill him,” Daoist Ingress suddenly turned solemn. “It’s a trap set by Yun Yi and the heavenly emperor. This is exactly what they wanted to see!”

“What?! Just what are they trying to do?!” Lu Yun’s eyes widened. Their current circumstances were precisely the goal??

As things were, everyone gingerly stood on an enormous powder keg. Absolute death and carnage would ensue once it exploded!

Cold sweat beaded Lu Yun’s forehead. He suddenly thought of how Yun Yi had sacrificed one hundred thousand grand supremes in order to revive the Disordered Empyrean Supreme. Were the father and daughter duo—or rather, three generations of that family—willing to kill another one hundred peak grand supremes and countless cultivators for the Jade Record of Creation?

On second thought, why wouldn’t they?

But how much karma would result from that?! How much retribution??

Just the retribution alone would spontaneously smite them to dust!

Daoist Ingress could only wordlessly shake his head.

The more Lu Yun thought about it, the more plausible he found it to be. Yun Yi’s style was utterly maniacal, after all, to the point of lurid bedlam.

“No, I have to stop them!” Lu Yun set his jaw. “Who knows what the consequences will be if we let them run wildly like this?!”
