Necropolis Immortal

ng of the world had reached unfathomable heights.

What a pity that he wouldn’t feel that again until he reached that cultivation realm.

……

The yin spirits in the river were uncountable and endless, and continuously churned to pieces by the shortsword and devoured.
The Venerated Sacrosanct Demon Sovereign and Ashu looked nervously at the blade, not taking their eyes off of it for a second.

“Last time, the North Sea monster spirits attacked Dusk Province and tried to seize the river.
However, the Dusk River erupted in a fury and killed all of them.
Who was behind that?” Lu Yun suddenly asked.

“The yin energy in the river,” Ashu responded without even thinking about it.
“The river doesn’t have its own thoughts, but once polluted by the yin energy, it falls under the energy’s control.
As for where the energy comes from, that I don’t know.”

He was greatly on edge as he watched the sword repeatedly guzzle down yin essence.
Malice and resentment took a deeper cast on it, and a strange black haze of light began to circle around it.

The sword was starting to convert to light, but the yin energy and countless vicious beasts in the waters hadn’t reduced by a single bit.
The Dusk River waters seemed capable of instinctively giving birth to these terrible creatures.

Xuanxi had given up fighting for control of the river, so the waters slowly calmed down.
However, the demon sovereign had sent out the Skyturning Seal to force out the true form of the shortsword at the center of the vortex.

……

After an indeterminate period of time, the shortsword suddenly buzzed softly.
What had been a hazy, gray short blade as thin as gossamer wings transformed into a blade of light.
However, it remained above the river, taking in the yin energy in its depths.
Somehow, its rate of consumption increased by more than ten times after its conversion, and there seemed to be a terrible existence gestating within the weapon.

“It’s time!” Lu Yun sat down cross-legged and deployed the nascent spirit observation method, projecting the sword formation that Ge Long had etched into his thoughts.

Four enormous broadswords manifested and stabbed into the center of the river, surrounding the hazy blade of light.
They shot forth four rays of sword energy undetectable by the naked eye, breaking apart the river waters and cutting off the blade’s connection to the Dusk River.

Vicious ghosts and undead creatures snarled and roared within the river, charging over to pummel the formation.
However, sword energy fired out wildly from the array, slicing and dicing anything that dared approach.
It even destroyed the yin energy residue left behind by the beings when they died.

A face composed of fog slowly rose from the blade of light, creating an enormous void over the center of the Dusk River.
Furious bellows echoed over the waters as the entire river rose up to form a pitch-black giant in the air.
It waved watery fists and brutally smashed into the sword formation, wanting to break it apart.

However, Ge Long’s formation was too strong.
Though it was just a projection from Lu Yun, its every rune and ray of sword qi had been etched into Lu Yun’s thoughts.

In other words, while Lu Yun now possessed the strength to observe the multiverse and Mount Exalted, he didn’t have the ability to observe Ge Long’s formation!

Whoosh!!

Like four doors, the four broadswords flared with light and executed the giant made of water.
They then turned on their axis and bore down on the sword of light.
