Necropolis Immortal

ival of the Purple Firmament to prevent those dao immortals from doing anything they wanted.
Now, however, the Purple Firmament representatives had left and no longer kept these immortals in check.

There must be some sort of relationship between this.

Perhaps humanity broke the immortal dao rather than the enemy.
It’s also possible that someone placed the long-haired monsters near the Dao Tree…

Enemies…

The immortal emperor had wanted Lu Yun to remember Lu Shenhou and 

said that those such as Lu Shenhou and the akasha ghosts were the enemies.
But up to now, Lu Yun still had no idea what kind of existence Lu Shenhou was and what formed the basis of the akasha ghosts.

The underworld holy king in front of him was no enemy.
Lu Yun could clearly feel that he’d come with a very specific purpose—not for the Central World, not for Qing Yu, but for himself.
Holy King Atrophy was here to take Lu Yun to the underworld!

……

“I’ve had my eye on you for a while, Lu Yun.
You caught my eye when you left the underworld with Ashu.” The holy king looked to be a young man and was wearing a long, inky-black robe.
A dense stench of decomposition wafted from him, one even stronger than that which exuded from the kuns swimming through the air.
“There’s a marvelous power on you that can revive the dead and return the tomb keepers of the underworld to life.”

Lu Yun frowned slightly; the underworld was a very special location indeed.
The experts that resided in that world seemed omnipotent.

“Do you want to come back to life as well?” Most of his attention rested on the holy king, but Lu Yun was well aware that apart from the person he spoke to, the creatures of the Blood Sea had made landfall and were also hidden in the surroundings.

“No.” Holy King Atrophy shook his head.
“There is no difference between life and death in my eyes.
My duties are to safeguard the underworld.
I can see a potential in you, the potential to become the fourth holy king of the underworld.

“Come back to the underworld with me and be our fourth holy king.
I can protect that woman so that she can refine the Central World and become its mistress.”

Bzzz.

A loud buzz emitted from the void as the Venerated Sacrosanct Demon Sovereign walked out with the Skyturning Seal.
Hadal Bonefire blazed in his brain—true Hadal Bonefire that was his nascent spirit.

“You’ll have to go through me if you want to take him to the underworld,” coolly delivered the demon sovereign.

“The Venerated Sacrosanct Demon Sovereign?” Holy King Atrophy shook his head.
“You and the immortal emperor were among the top geniuses of the world in your time.
What a pity that, in order to protect you, the immortal emperor shattered your dao heart and wanted you to rise again after forming your enduring true spirit.
You would’ve been the fourth holy king otherwise.
What a pity, such a pity…”

The fire in the demon sovereign’s head flickered as he sank into deep thought.

“You want to take me to the underworld?” Lu Yun suddenly spoke.
“Do you really dare do that?”

The holy king blinked.

“Did you not hear what Qi Hai, first city lord of humanity’s three hundred and sixty-five capital cities, said? I possess the primeval hell of human dao.
Aren’t you afraid that I’ll combine hell with the underworld and transform it all into my own world?”

Whoosh!

Lu Yun waved a hand and summoned a conflagration of cold hellfire.

Holy King Atrophy quickly fell back a few steps.
Hellfire was the king of death and a natural bane to living dead like him.
Though his soul was alive, his body wouldn’t be able to endure the incineration of hellfire.
As Lu Yun was currently a peak origin dao immortal, hellfire released even greater power in his hands.

“I see… you are the successor to the hell of human dao.” Holy King Atrophy released a breath of relief.
“So that means you are one person alone and not the pawn of any heavyweight in the world…”

Lu Yun frowned.
He could tell through the Karmic Tree that the holy king had just become more resolved to take him as the fourth holy king of the underworld!
