Necropolis Immortal

ed humans to conquer new territories…”

“Your homeland?” Ashu and the demon sovereign looked at Lu Yun with surprise, and even You Si tilted her head.

“The ancestor planet of the humans.” Lu Yun nodded. Or so I’m told.

“Hush, we speak no further of this topic!” Ashu snapped to solemn attention when he heard the words “ancestor planet”.
He floundered around with an urgent need to change the topic.
“Alright, let’s keep going.
We need to find Xiaoyue’s body!”

Xuanyuan Xiaoyue’s face reddened with life when she heard the word “Xiaoyue”, and vitality gleamed anew in her stark-white eyes.

“Ling Weiyang… it’s Uncle Ling Weiyang…” she mumbled in a voice only she could hear.
Thick frost then once again consumed her after a convulsive shudder.

The little path opened up until it was a large road of foggy white.
An enormous snowy mountain could be found at its end, and the group encountered tens of thousands of frozen Xuanyuan clansmen along the way.

None of them seemed to have registered the advent of death.
They were all caught in whatever expression and gesture they’d borne in life, with no encroaching fear of death in any of their vibrant faces.

All of them had died in a single moment at the same time.

The further they walked, the colder Lu Yun felt—not a coldness of the body, but of prickling horror.

“Human king, human king, that’s another human king…” He counted eighteen primeval human kings beside the road; none of them had been aware of their impending doom.

“I’m… I’m so c-cold—“ You Si suddenly spoke up, frost crystals chiming in her hair and clothes.
She wanted to release the Fire Altar, but discovered with dismay that the altar and fire essence energy upon her body had been sealed at some unknown point in time.

Lu Yun stumbled to a halt when he heard her voice, only discovering now that the Tome of Life and Death had materialized at some point to protect him.

Ashu was a living dead unafraid of the cold, and the demon sovereign was already using Hadal Bonefire to warm himself.

“Write your name on the pages of this book.” Lu Yun handed over his precious treasure.
Apart from the Ten Yama Kings, there were only a handful of other names on its pages.
Ge Long, Canghai Chengfeng, Situ Zong, Xuanyu, Carmine Eternal, and Carmine Arbiter.
You Si would be the seventh.
Carmines Eternal and Arbiter had volunteered their names and received a faster recovery time in return.

You Si didn’t reject the proposal as she’d almost lost her sense of self in this terrain of extreme cold.
After writing her name down, a black light beamed out of the book and enveloped her.

Newly fortified against the elements, her eyes widened and she clapped both hands over her mouth, looking incredulously at Lu Yun.

“The exit of the Embittered Sea is ahead of us.” Lu Yun paid her no heed and looked around.
The island looked a thousand kilometers wide from the outside, but it was an entire world inside—likely the one manifested from Great Emperor Kunpeng.

A large snowy mountain towered in the middle of this world, and the path beneath their feet led to its interior, to a patch of unknown chaos.

“Over there, that’s Xiaoyue’s body!” Ashu pointed at the top of the mountain.

There laid a crystal coffin in which Xuanyuan Xiaoyue’s body lay peacefully, like she’d fallen asleep.
