Necropolis Immortal
chapter-1620

Though the overlord of Ice walked over from the other side of the void with the big-headed doll, he didn’t seem to see Lu Yun. The latter was in Yueyi’s world of order; it would take another sequence expert to see the young man’s existence.

However, Lu Yun could see the outside world just fine.

“Martial grandfather, I will take the overlord and three brushes with me. It would be a disaster if they stayed by your side as you cannot protect them,” Yueyi said as she watched the overlord approach.

Lu Yun nodded. There was no point in refusing, Yueyi’s gaze was resolute. She’d plainly come with this idea in mind.

She was also right, the brushes of the three reincarnations were too important. Just like Lu Yun, they were existences that’d broken free of the cycle of reincarnation. In the endless loops he’d experienced, they’d never existed.

As a sequence expert, Yueyi could naturally see that there was something special about them. If she could, so could other sequence experts. Thus, if the brushes stayed with Lu Yun or the overlord, they would ultimately be taken by someone else.

“And that Brightheart, I see some traces of myself in her. She seems to share a destiny with me, so I’ll also be taking her back with me.” Startled appreciation flashed across Yueyi’s face when she looked at the girl next to Jian Juexian.

“She’s the Cicada Sovereign’s disciple.” Instead of refusing, Lu Yun clarified Brightheart’s background.

“So the girl is one of her’s, no wonder,” Yueyi nodded. “Then, martial grandfather, until we meet again.”

She bowed to Lu Yun and gently waved her hand, shifting the overlord, doll, and Brightheart out of sight.

“What just happened?” Jian Juexian jumped with shock. Brightheart had suddenly disappeared without warning; she’d been right next to him! “Was that the Moon Sovereign King of the Luminaries? She saved us?” It was all too incredulous to process.

“Yes,” Lu Yun nodded, then spoke with some trepidation. “That’s it for everything here. Thank goodness I had the Blood Sovereign move my men, or they would’ve all died.”

All of the Hongmeng worlds and various planes in the Eastern Cluster were empty. Everyone had been buried under the dao of burial emanating from the Tomb of the Original Emperor and turned into a zombie, or refined by the Corpse Sovereign.

If Lu Yun’s people had stayed here, the same fate would’ve befallen them. The Blood Sovereign was no match for the Corpse Sovereign. As opposed to staying to their deaths, they were now in the innermost depths of the Boundless Planes.

As former prisoners of the Hadal Hell, they were prodigiously strong in the past. Not only were there Nihil World Sovereigns among them, but there were also sequence experts. The Blood Sovereign was helping them recover their past selves instead of staying put and training in one location. Even the weakest Bridge of Forgetfulness and She Nong were uncommon individuals, so who knew what the rest might be?

“So the emperor of the original Hongmeng is still alive. Yueyi said just now that the original emperor is in the unknown expanses.” Lu Yun thought about it some more. “If there are no living beings in the Eastern Cluster anymore—does that mean it’s mine?”

One plane cluster was infinitely vast, containing four hundred and eighty million planes. And they were now all Lu Yun’s!

“When the immortal dao traverses the fourth realm, let’s rename this cluster to the ‘Immortal Region’.” A smile curved Lu Yun’s lips.

There was an Immortal Region in the Hongmeng as well. The Dao King had established it to help facilitate the immortal dao take root in the third realm. Unfortunately, the Curse King’s curses had proven too strong—the immortal dao of the worlds had never been able to fully develop. The Curse King even infiltrated and controlled the faction in the end.

In the battle between the Dao King and Curse King, the Dao King was unquestionably defeated.

But now, the Curse King’s replica—one with the true strength of sequence—was no more after a single blow from Yueyi. The curses and pawns he’d left in the Hongmeng were left without support, making them easy targets for the people that the Dao King had left behind in the Hongmeng.

However, there was still something that bothered Lu Yun.

The Poison King.

The Curse King’s senior brother had been able to kill Yueyi’s primary body, forcing her to reincarnate into the Hongmeng. The poison had been so strong that it’d continued to attack her then, transforming her into a ghost. It wasn’t until Lu Yun happened to hit her with the Dragonquake Scripture that it was dispelled.

“The person who didn’t have the luxury to consider anything else and called upon the great dragons of the Hongmeng… that probably had something to do with the Poison King. I wonder if this Poison King is still in the Hongmeng?”

Yueyi hadn’t spoken about her battle with the Poison King, but judging from her expression, it was highly likely that he was still in the third realm.

“What are you thinking about?” Jian Juexian asked curiously when he saw Lu Yun’s expression flicker rapidly.

“I’m wondering just what are you to have Quiet meld with your sword dao.” Lu Yun summoned the sword back to him with a wave of his hand.

Though the Quiet Sovereign King had perished, there remained a hint of instinctive sword dao within the sword. Lu Yun had melded his sword dao with it to communicate with Quiet, thus establishing a partnership between equals.

At the same time, it’d never accepted Lu Yun’s sword dao. It’d only allowed the young man to borrow the sword dao in the weapon.

But when it landed in Jian Juexian’s hand, the man’s sword dao immediately became one with the sword. Their combined might resulted in terrifying power. If it hadn’t been for Jian Juexian being suppressed by the Curse King’s order, he would’ve killed the Shadow Sovereign.

“I… don’t know.” Jian Juexian shook his head with bafflement, looking at the sword with a trace of fervor.

“I can’t give you the sword,” Lu Yun huffed at him. “You lost Immortal’s End already!”

Quiet hummed at the end of Lu Yun’s words, as if agreeing with him.

Jian Juexian smiled ruefully.

“You have no other place to go to, want to stay here and help me?”

“Didn’t you say you’d take me to the old man?” Jian Juexian grumbled. Though he’d already inwardly agreed, he still had to make a show of protesting.

“Your old man’s in there. If he wants to see you, he’ll come out to see you.” Lu Yun pointed at the plane of Fire where the Central Hongmeng was.

Jian Juexian’s eyes lit up.

“Alright then, I’ll stay here to protect your territory.” Jian Juexian nodded. “You want me to kill anyone that comes out of the Central Hongmeng if they’re not one of yours?”

“No,” Lu Yun shook his head. “But do capture any of the Curse King or Poison King’s men. If you can’t, kill them.”

Since Yueyi had just killed the Curse King’s sequence expert replica, he wouldn’t dare court death again in the short term. Yueyi didn’t just represent herself, but an entire organization with three sequence experts.
