Necropolis Immortal

Single combat wasn’t popular in the World of Soul Dominion. The trials tested survival ability, not flashy showmanship. No matter the method or process, the last one standing was the greatest victor.

Moran Linlang put her battle strength on full display and released a fearsome aura. Since the Morans possessed a world of sequence, she rivaled a fortieth level heavyweight at the very least. Just as the female ghost had toyed with them instead of erupting in all out battle, so did the man in green refrain from any brash action. Both sides would be gravely injured if the situation wasn’t handled properly, and if he was injured, he’d find it difficult to retain ownership of the lion’s corpse.

The body of a true supreme was far more valuable than the beasts that roamed the world.

……

“You want to stick your neck out?” Lu Yun stepped forward with a grin. “Trust me when I say that you’ll be the first to die if there’s a fight.”

“I don’t,” the man shook his head with a sneer. “I might die, but you’ll be the first to hit the ground.”

“How dare a mere twenty-some level little fella, yet to become a senior cultivator, think of laying hands on the body of a supreme?” This speaker was a man in yellow. His hair and lips were yellow and he exuded a dense force of earth. Clearly, his sequence was one of earth.

The last man burned with blazing flames—the sequence of fire. They stood in the directions of heaven, earth, and man, trying to form a crude formation of the three essentials.

“Hahahaha!!” Lu Yun roared with laughter. “Then let’s give it a try. We won’t die or even be injured, but you guys will die horrible, awful deaths! Are you pissing off or not?” His smile faded away, replaced by an arctic aloofness.

“You really do want to die!” The man in green flew into a rage to be jeered at by such a weak cultivator. “Fellow daoists, we seek to kill these two. We can discuss the matter of the supreme’s body after they die, is that agreeable?”

Nothing answered him. No one was willing to expose themselves at this juncture, but they plainly tacitly approved of his proposal. A lack of response was the best answer, and with that, the trio in front didn’t have to worry about ambush from others.

“Die!” snarled the man in green as he streaked into a ray of emerald light, hurtling toward Lu Yun.

Whether a wild goose should be boiled or roasted could be decided after it was taken down. Anyone who could survive in the World of Soul Dominion was no indecisive person who agonized over decisions. They brought their full strength to bear even when facing an ant.

The formation of the three essentials was complete and they could borrow the power of heaven and earth from this world. While the man in green departed from his position, the formation remained.

Bam!

He slammed into an unseen barrier of light and bounced back.

“There’s a formation here, no wonder you’re so confident!” roared the man in yellow. He stomped his foot firmly on the ground and summoned mountain after mountain. The man sought to destroy the terrain around them and therefore destroy the intangible formation.

Lu Yun turned to look at the crouching lion. “Stop pretending. Get up and fuck them all up!”

The supposedly dead Bloodscorch Lion rose amid horrified gazes of the crowd. Moran Linglong was summarily ejected from its head and the gaping wound swiftly healed.

“ROAR!!” A terrifying roar echoed through the surroundings and disintegrated the three fortieth-level-sequence men. Yelps of horror echoed from the rest of the cultivators hidden in the surroundings as they once more ran for their lives.

Moran Linlang and Moran Linglong looked blankly at what was unfolding in front of them. What was going on?

“No wonder there’s no core… the lion wasn’t completely dead,” Moran Linlang said dumbly.

Supreme level beasts possessed dao palaces and cores—such was a trademark of the World of Soul Dominion.

Lu Yun made a face. The lion had indeed been dead—and not to the one who seized possession of it. Instead, the young man had surreptitiously killed the beast while it was being assimilated by its new owner.

Otherwise, just the would-be occupier’s strength alone wasn’t sufficient to take a supreme-level beast. But without that person’s attempt, an opening wouldn’t appear in the lion’s nascent spirit either and Lu Yun wouldn’t have been able to affect a supreme’s soul.

The Bloodscorch Lion became an Infernum the moment Lu Yun killed it. However, this world’s orders were jumbled and there were unique rules in place, so it took a bit of time for the young man to resurrect the lion.

Precisely one stick of incense worth.

He was able to revive it after one stick of incense burned, so he and the Moran sisters had been waiting not for the one who seized the lion, but for his own sake. At the same time, Resurrection Talismans wouldn’t see immediate effect in this world. They needed roughly half an hour to bring back the dead.

Resurrection Talismans weren’t mainstream in the chief worlds and no one would bring a treasure worth hundreds of millions to this world. In the meantime, Lifeline Talismans were ineffective in this place.

“How did you do that?” Moran Linglong asked breathlessly.

“Linglong!” her elder sister reprimanded sharply.

The younger girl stuck her tongue out with embarrassment. It was very rude to casually ask someone about their trump card and they could easily turn on each other if the situation wasn’t defused properly.

The Bloodscorch Lion was uncommonly docile in front of Lu Yun and it shrank to a few meters long. It now looked like a big crimson cat.

“Follow the sisters and protect them,” Lu Yun said to it.

“Are you leaving?!” Moran Linlang gasped, but quickly recovered her aplomb.

“There’s enough in this area for you to temper yourself with. With the lion following you, you’ll be fine as long as you don’t provoke the existences beyond your abilities,” Lu Yun nodded. “If you really do want to learn immortal dao, the lion will take you to where you can learn it after you leave this world.”

“Denizens of this world can’t leave it!” Moran Linlang frowned.

“It can if I say it can,” Lu Yun waved her off. “Alright, I’m leaving now. We’ll meet again if we’re meant to.”

He vanished with a jump and left without looking back. The lion was now his Infernum and under the Tome of Life and Death’s purview. It could leave if he commanded it, and it would bring the sisters to Huangpang.
