Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 1976 – The Suddenly Appearing Heavenfall

Watching from a hilltop while two tigers fought.

Lu Yun had no desire, but more importantly, no ability to involve himself in the upcoming clash.

……

Battle commenced with surprisingly abruptness. When the elder giant realized that Jin Huo had been reborn, he detonated the tree and turned it into a massive net that spread in all directions.

All beings were revealed in their true form beneath the net.

Human form was the dao form that everyone had to assume if they wished to proceed in their cultivation. The giant net derived from the tree god’s past life instantly dissolved dao forms, revealing all divine entities, wild beasts, or the endless cornucopia of races in existence in their true appearance.

Lu Yun suddenly felt that he’d returned to the great wilderness, the time in which all sorts of rare and exotic beasts abounded. Waving their giant bone clubs around, the humans engaged their enemy.

Jin Huo took Lu Yun and Chu Xun away from the scene with a casual wave of her hand. The battle had nothing to do with the young man and even Cen Sui would have to rely on his own fortunes to see whether or not he survived .

Lu Yun was employing formula dao to determine where the god of Mount Tai was, but he couldn’t calculate anything about the mountain god no matter what angle he attacked the problem from. Oh, wait, that means the Disordered Empyrean Supreme’s here too.

Only the empyrean supreme and her command of disordered power could interfere with formula dao.

“The Disordered Empyrean Supreme is here and has found the god of Mount Tai,” he said softly.

Chu Xun was still fast asleep, but in Jin Huo’s arms now. The latter slightly furrowed her brows. She didn’t want to be at odds with the Disordered Empyrean Supreme if she could help it.

“The god of Mount Tai has defected to the land of darkness. Since the Disordered Empyrean Supreme has come back to life again, the darkness most likely wants to take action against her,” Lu Yun continued when he saw Jin Huo remain silent. “I saw a projection from one of their empyrean supremes earlier. He’s not here just to ally with the humans trapped in the tomb.”

Although the Disordered Empyrean Supreme had been an empyrean supreme in the past, she was just a peak grand supreme now. She wouldn’t be able to hold out against the projection of an empyrean supreme.

Jin Huo’s frown deepened and she nodded gently. “I know where she is if she is here.”

Lu Yun brightened.

“The tomb of the shamanic ancestor,” she answered his unspoken question. “Apart from the shamans taking his skull after he died, the heavenly emperor buried the rest of his corpse here. Let’s go.”

The three of them disappeared with another wave of her hand.

The empyrean supreme from the darkness was just a projection at the end of the day. He could lay down a plot to kill the Disordered Empyrean Supreme, but Jin Huo might be able to protect the other if she obtained the complete order of life. Since she already possessed two thirds, that made her one of the most powerful peak grand supremes around. Gaining the remaining third gave her a very high chance of ascending to empyrean supreme.

Lu Yun wasn’t kindly inclined toward the Disordered Empyrean Supreme—she schemed after him at every second. He didn’t want an enemy who was a peak grand supreme and could return to empyrean supreme at any second to live too long.

He only had one goal in mind—the god of Mount Tai.

……

The ancient burial mound was massive. Unbounded and without end, power from the Enneawyrm Coffinbearers, Nine-Phoenix Casket, Enneaqilin Coffinbiers, and Ninefooted Turtle Cist had melded together. Fully as one, they’d turned into an unknown horror.

Lu Yun had been under Miao’s protection since arriving at the burial mound. His guardian ensured that he arrived safely at the center of the burial mound, whereupon the young man set foot onto the path of dao bones. The avenue of dao bones reached the core of the burial mound, where the tree god’s past life could be found. Thus, he smoothly bypassed all sorts of terrifying demonic entities.

But he saw one now.

A massive blood turtle with nine feet beneath its stomach trundled through the vast expanse. Even Jin Huo slowed down when they saw the creature, hiding herself so that it wouldn’t see her.

“Is that… the manifestation of the Ninefooted Turtle Cist?” Lu Yun gasped.

“No,” Jin Huo shook her head. “The cist holds the great god’s legs. If they’d taken physical form, they would be an empyrean supreme and none of us would make it out alive. This one is only a peak grand supreme.”

“Only… a peak grand supreme?” Lu Yun ground his teeth. “Wait, does this mean that Pangu’s cultivation level has exceeded empyrean supreme?”

Jin Huo cast a sharp glance at him. “There is no end to the path of cultivation. No one knows what its limits are. The higher you stand, the further you see!

“We think that peak grand supremes and empyrean supremes are the peak of existence. But when you first started cultivating, did you know about them?”

Lu Yun shook his head wordlessly.

“As a peak grand supreme, I see that empyrean supreme is the end of cultivation. But what will I see from the heights of empyrean supreme? I do not know,” Jin Huo murmured. “Empyrean supremes search for higher heights as well.”

BOOM.

A bronze spear descended from the heavens as she concluded her words and pierced through the nine-footed blood turtle’s thick armor, nailing it to the ground. The turtle keened with agony before its head trailed down.

An existence that was incomparably terrifying to Lu Yun’s eyes was… dead.

Lu Yun and Jin Huo shuddered in unison.

“That’s…” Lu Yun’s eyes went wide and he stared fixedly at the bronze spear. Heavenfall!

God’s Heavenfall!

The three great divine weapons of the chaos were Worldcarver, Heavenfall, and Quietus!

Worldcarver was Pangu’s divine ax and Heavenfall was God’s greatest treasure. After Lu Yun obtained Quietus, he gave the sword to Tianqi to be his personal treasure.

Lu Yun had wielded each of the three divine treasures at one point in time. He’d thought that they were chaos-level treasures, but it seemed he’d gravely underestimated them! The Heavenfall in front of them was the one that belonged to God!

God had thrown out his spear from the World of Immortals to deliver it to Lu Yun!

“This…” Jin Huo gaped and couldn’t say a word. The appearance of the spear seemed to verify what she was saying.

Lu Yun took a deep breath and set a foot outside of Jin Huo’s circle of protection. She stared intently at him as he approached the spear. The young man was no fool, so he must have his reasons for stepping forward.

The spear was rooted to the ground in front of Lu Yun, like a pillar soaring to the heavens. In comparison, the blood turtle was much too minuscule.

“The burial mound is very dangerous, so I send you the spear for self protection.” God’s thoughts echoed in Lu Yun’s mind.
