Necropolis Immortal

ning.
This lightning had blasted the dignity of one of their dao immortals to utter smithereens.
Venerated Elder Qing Hao had returned to the clan and secluded himself behind closed doors.
He likely wouldn’t set foot outside for several centuries to come—or even several millennia—until his embarrassment abated.
By association, the Qing immortals had also become objects of ridicule.

……

Lu Yun grasped the divine lightning in his hand as a blinding, infinite road appeared at his feet, leading straight underground: the Path of Ingress! Nephrite Major’s greatest treasure, it was a fearsome item that could pierce through any barrier and overcome all formations.
He set foot on the path and instantly vanished from sight.

Many immortal dignitaries from Nephrite Major immediately rose to their feet and formed a defensive circle around the treasure.
Though it was just a replica, if an immortal from another major were to obtain it, they could use it to spy upon the Path’s secrets and negate Nephrite Major’s greatest trump card.

“He’s going to enter the tomb and face the zombie head-on!” Many gasped when they saw Lu Yun’s figure disappear on the Path of Ingress.
“Boldness is born from ability indeed.
No wonder he’s first among the youth sovereigns!”

Previously, some had felt Lu Yun’s confrontation with the Qing dao immortal to be the mere recklessness of youth.
But his actions now in challenging the ominous zombie face to face couldn’t be anything but true self-assurance born from genuine skill.
Without sufficient strength, who would desire to throw their lives away?

“He is a greater man than me!” Dejection flashed across Wu Tulong’s face.
“At the very least, I don’t have the courage to rush into the belly of the beast and face that monster.”

The other three youth sovereigns also looked downcast.
They’d initially thought they weren ’t far behind Lu Yun.
Dongfang Hao, in particular, had fought Lu Yun for three days and three nights, only losing by one move.

Although the governor had faced a dao immortal and could summon divine lightning, the four youngsters firmly believed they could still overtake him.
But here and now, they finally understood where the difference between them lay: courage.

Lu Yun feared nothing and no one, be it dao immortal or invincible zombie.
He ceaselessly forged onward, never cowering.
Even ten million foes couldn’t bend his will.

“I may be inferior, but it doesn’t mean I’ll simply give up.
At least, I’ll surpass the three of you and become the world’s second best!” Mo Qitian suddenly smiled.

“Second best… hahahaha!” Dongfang Hao laughed heartily.
“Being first is the only goal worth pursuing! Even if I can’t be first, I’m going to breathe down Lu Yun’s neck and have him sitting on pins and needles!”

“He who laughs last, laughs best! He might be the greatest youth sovereign at the moment, but that doesn’t mean he’ll necessarily be stronger than us once we’re all immortals! He may be ahead of us as a cultivator, but when it comes to the boundless dao of immortals, I will be number one!” Zi Chen proclaimed loud and clear.

“You’ll have the three of us to contend with!”

To remain unyielding in the face of myriad obstacles and shout back at the world at the top of one’s lungs, such was to be a youth sovereign.

……

Meanwhile, Lu Yun journeyed along the Path of Ingress and reached the underground, finally catching a complete glance of the zombie.
It was a scarlet zombie, its mass of flesh and blood a half-rotten, partially decayed mess.
A full three thousand meters in height, it presently lay on the ground inside the tomb.

Scarlet eyes latched onto Lu Yun’s frame the moment he entered the tomb, crimson flashes within its bottomless irises bathing the space in bloody light.

“It’s not the tomb that’s suppressing the Sugato Sword, but the Sugato Sword that’s suppressing this zombie….
Or to be more exact, this bloodcorpse!” He inhaled deeply.
