Necropolis Immortal Chapter 1250.1: The Lost Ancient City

Chapter 1250.1: The Lost Ancient City

With the Meteorite and Skyfall Kings working in tandem, they’d naturally made the pa.s.sageway large and s.p.a.cious. In fact, the tunnel glittered with gold and could only be described as sumptuous and grand. Those not in the know would think this was an underground palace!

Lu Yun and the little fox looked wordlessly at the two kings, who beamed back at them with fawning smiles.

“Who is this Lu Yun? Is he the descendant of a ninth step king? He’s got the Skyfall King as well trained as a dog,” mumbled Hua Fengwen off to the side.

He knew the Skyfall King as the latter was very famous. This was an eminent second step king who was most likely to break through to third step. Skyfall was also known for a nasty and stubborn temper. More than one sixth step king had wanted to recruit him in the past, but he’d unceremoniously turned them all down.

As he noted the obsequious smile on Skyfall’s face, Hua Fengwen felt that something huge must’ve happened in the hundred thousand years in which he’d been indisposed.

Sixty thousand kilometers were neither a short nor long distance; they quickly reached the end of the tunnel.

“Alright, all of you back up!” Lu Yun said with extreme caution. “Another five hundred kilometers down is where the Terra Light Magneticus is. It’s inherently lethal and ordinary kings can’t withstand it.”

Meteorite and Skyfall nodded at the same time and protected the little fox as they retreated.

Hua Fengwen didn’t move, staying behind Lu Yun because he wanted to see what his savior would do to avoid the Terra Light Magneticus. He’d already watched Lu Yun use a formation to disrupt the Earth Light Magneticus.

Neither did Lu Yun mind the genius observing his process. He was deploying regular supplemental methods that wouldn’t touch upon his secrets. Eighteen premium crystal veins appeared around him and transformed into eighteen dragons that coiled and hovered in the roomy tunnel.

“This, this kind of wealth!! Is he the son of the Redbud King? No, wait, the Redbud King is an arcane beast king. He… he…” Hua Fengwen stared blankly at Lu Yun and couldn’t form any other words.

Meanwhile, Lu Yun coalesced the initial form of his formation and turned it into a terrifying layout.

Hummmm.

Scintillating purple light s.h.i.+mmered into a strange world that filled the void.

“The poles are to the north and south and fill the earth and sky. Stellar above us and terra beneath us…” Lu Yun murmured. “Since it’s Terra Light Magneticus here, I’ll use a formation to project Stellar Light Magneticus!”

“Project Stellar Light Magneticus?!” Hua Fengwen was utterly flabbergasted.

Stellar Light Magneticus?

Could someone even do that? Stellar Light was a terrifying force that proved fatal for even ninth step kings if they ran into it, but a little fellow not yet in the superior realm wanted to attempt projecting it?

Before Hua Fengwen had a chance to consider this further, an incredible suction force flared from Lu Yun’s body and the eighteen purple dragon shadows gathered together into a very bizarre layout.

“This isn’t Stellar Light Magneticus, but a layout that possesses its attributes!” Hua Fengwen gasped. “How did he create this layout? How does he know the characteristics of Stellar Light? …has he seen it before?”

Unbidden, he’d started backing away from the scene. Though he was a sixth step king, he didn’t understand what was going on in front of him, nor did he wish to comprehend it.

Hua Fengwen wasn’t a supplemental grandmaster and while he possessed some knowledge of formations and layouts, he wasn’t skilled in them. If he had to divert attention to studying them, that would impact his own dao.

In the hundred thousand years that he’d been trapped, it had been both torment and trial—an alternate kind of cultivation. If he could consolidate his experience during that time and move forward with it, his progress would shoot ahead.

Seeing that Hua Fengwen was retreating out of sight, Lu Yun held nothing back. The layout of Stellar Light exploded into forty-nine iterations, strengthening its magnetic force with each change.

Forty-nine s.h.i.+fts later saw the formation transform into a purple shaft that stretched five hundred kilometers ahead.

“Let’s go!” Lu Yun shouted and jumped into the pa.s.sage. The little fox, Hua Fengwen, and others were close behind him.

……

A vast s.p.a.ce of unbounded azure blue appeared before them. A rippling pool in its center exuded s.h.i.+mmering blue, and tufts of blue gra.s.s grew less than a few kilometers from its banks.

Terra Gra.s.s!

“The Terra Light Magneticus here has become a Terra Pool Magneticus!” Hua Fengwen’s eyes widened when he saw the modestly sized pond. He was so overcome that he ignored his goal from a hundred thousand years ago—the Terra Gra.s.s.

Quickly stepping forward, his expression changed again when he fully took in the pool of light that’d turned into a liquid state.

“Your formation sent us here in one go, what kind of perverse existence are you?!” He whipped around and looked at Lu Yun.

Lu Yun ignored the genius, instead bending down to carefully harvest the Terra Gra.s.s. This was one of the main ingredients for the Six Paths Reincarnation Pill!

Hua Fengwen sheepishly shut his mouth when no answer was forthcoming.

“Master, there’s a tiny island in the middle of the pool with a piece of Stellar Stone Magneticus on it,” the Skyfall King suddenly whispered to Lu Yun.

“Stellar Stone Magneticus?!” Lu Yun jerked his head up to peer at the center of the pool.

There was an azure blue island there with a fist-sized crystalline item at its center. Translucent throughout, it emitted layers of fantastical radiance.

Stellar Stone Magneticus!

One of the most premier materials in the Hongmeng!

The Stellar Light Magneticus that could be found within the stone was the sharpest material in the realm. Additionally, the stone itself was prime material for refining flying swords. But in order to make use of it, the refiner had to reach kinghood through supplemental dao. Only then would they have the right to touch the stone.

“This stone will be the greatest benefit that we reap on this trip,” Lu Yun took a deep breath. “I have Quiet, so I don’t need another sword. But if I incorporate the Stellar Stone Magneticus into the mountain of purple crystal…”

The idea lit a fire in his heart that couldn’t be doused.

“A fist-sized piece of Stellar Stone Magneticus!” Hua Fengwen sucked in a sharp breath as well. “The piece that appeared in Mult.i.tude City a hundred thousand years ago was just the size of a speck of dust. It went for an incredible hundred thousand veins of premium purple crystal… How much would this one sell for?!”

A hundred thousand crystal veins were the equivalent of Lu Yun’s big mountain. Second step kings such as the Scorch and Moon Kings possessed at most a hundred veins in their personal wealth.

“Sell? Why would I sell this? I’m a supplemental grandmaster who’s almost made it to t.i.tled king! I’ll be able to refine this stone if I ascend.”

Reaching kinghood through the supplemental paths!

This was the first time that the thought entered Lu Yun’s mind after arriving in the Hongmeng. He’d never been in a hurry to reach kinghood before because he wanted his cultivation and grasp of supplemental paths to progress at the same rate. He aimed to reach that level for both of them at the same time, but the appearance of the stone changed his mind.

“If I want to become a king through a supplemental path, I need to refine a king-level treasure or pill. The Six Paths Reincarnation Pill can help me and the little fox reach superior realm, but it’s not on par with a king level pill.” The more Lu Yun thought about this, the crazier his thoughts became.

Hua Fengwen stood quietly off to the side and didn’t express any sentiments. Like he’d said, he’d sworn a solemn oath to the Hongmeng Tower that he would work for whoever saved him from the Earth Light Magneticus. Thus, he had no designs on the stone.

“The isle that’s half a kilometer long beneath the Stellar Stone Magneticus should be a product of a Terra Stone Magneticus,” he suddenly said. “Though it’s not as precious as Stellar Stone, it’s still a rare treasure. It also nurtures Terra Light Magneticus!”

“We’ll take it, we’ll take it all!” the little fox suddenly crowed. “We’re taking that pool of Terra Water Magneticus with us as well!”

“Yes, we’ll take it all.” Lu Yun forced his leaping emotions to calm down and turned to the genius. “There’s still time enough for you to change your mind.”

“I won’t.” Hua Fengwen shook his head. “I said that I’d serve whoever saved me, and while I won’t be your servant, I will never betray you.”

“Alright then.” Lu Yun nodded. “There’s no need for the tower if you do betray me, I’ll execute you with my own hands.”

Hua Fengwen nodded wordlessly.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yun deployed the abyss in the void over the pool. It swallowed the entire body of water, as well as the Terra and Stellar Stone Magneticus, like a cavernous mouth.

“That’s… a h.e.l.l of the fourth realm!” Hua Fengwen shuddered. It was too late now if he wanted to change his mind.

etvolare's Thoughts

The names are a little bonkers, I know. The pool is producing the light, the stone is more precious than any of it and also contains the light. Just stick to remembering water, light, or stone. Forget the rest of the name.
