Necropolis Immortal

ivators as far as fifty kilometers away felt an unbearable oppression.

“The giant beast born amidst the tribulation clouds is about to attack,” Wu Tulong suddenly murmured.

Shocked, Lu Yun looked carefully into the depths of the lightning sea beneath the tribulation clouds.
A titanic black creature twisted in it, bolts of fine lightning densely strewn about the surface of its body.

The young man’s gaze remained firm.
With the flip of a wrist, a snowflake-like weapon appeared in his hand.
Snowflakes drifted in the sky, imbuing his charred green robes and turning it into a brand new snowy garment draped over his body.

“He’s from Witherdew Major’s Xue Clan!” someone exclaimed when he saw the snowflakes and the young man’s transformation.

“No wonder he doesn’t have a senior to protect him… the Xue Clan’s been exterminated!”

All of the immortals in Witherdew Major were dead, punished by a chaos tribulation.
The Xue Clan had been a top-tier clan in the major and had had a crippled origin dao holding down the fort.
But when even a flawless origin dao immortal like the Witherdew emperor had died, the same went without saying for the Xue immortals.

Now, other than a handful of individuals who’d been away from Witherdew Major on that fateful day, the clan’s immortals had all perished.
In other words, the clan itself was no more.

While some cultivators were still alive, including void realm ones, it was far from enough to sustain the existence of a full-fledged clan.
This young man was undoubtedly the Xue Clan’s final spark of hope.
If he could become a void-ascended immortal, there might be a chance for the clan to be reborn from its ashes!

……

In the sea of lightning, the giant beast’s aura grew with each passing second.
Everyone had guessed by now that the final challenge of this heavenly tribulation would be this very beast born from lightning.

Roar!!

A lengthy howl echoed from the sea of lightning as the black beast ponderously swam down from the skies, gradually revealing its appearance.
An enormous fish several hundred meters long, its two giant fins gave rise to fearsome lightning gales with each beat, as if fleshy wings.
There was also a single gray horn on top of its head that discharged heavenly lightning.

“A kun!” some immortals cried out.
“This is a kunpeng, just like the true body of Beigong Yu, the North Sea’s once-Kunpeng King.”

Beigong Yu had once been the North Sea’s foremost monster king.
Enveloped by a dense air of blood and violence, he’d killed too many immortals to count.
Such a peerless monster king had been a daunting figure for many immortals; therefore, they naturally knew of his true nature.

However, kunpengs possessed two shapes, the kun fish and the peng bird.
Beigong Yu had been the one and only kunpeng in the modern age, so next to no one knew of their detailed characteristics.
They all thought a kunpeng was merely some kind of giant fish.

“It really is a kun … a thunder kun!” Lu Yun became grave.
“But this thunder kun is purely kun shaped, it can’t become a peng bird.”

A thunder kun wasn’t a genuine kunpeng, but a spirit born from thunder and lightning!

……

“Roar!!” A tremendous challenge came from the thunder kun’s mouth as its giant frame twisted in the air, swimming swiftly toward the young man with undulating motions and accompanied by a giant cloud of lightning.

The young man turned solemn, a breeze of snowflakes stirring to life when he suddenly howled in return.
At the same time, a full moon slowly rose from the dance of snowflakes.

Snowflakes and the bright moon!

The young man had combined his clan’s trademark combat art with a primordial art, exploding the product now with tremendous force.

“Split!” he shouted furiously.
With snowflakes as the hilt and the moon as the blade, he slashed ruthlessly at the giant beast.
