Necropolis Immortal Chapter 1654

Chapter 1654: The Great Art of Slaughtering Immortals

“You could’ve gone anywhere, but you chose to come to this world of sequence.” The Curse King threw Lu Yun’s body aside with a relieved smile. “If I want to kill you here, you won’t even have a chance to run.

“Did you think I was like the others and would waste time mouthing nonsense before killing my enemies, giving you time to prepare?” His smile deepened. “No, I’m the sort to proclaim my victory over your lifeless body.”

He sat down next to Lu Yun’s corpse and nattered on, repeating his delight in finally triumphing over his long-time rival.

……

“Though the spirit has dissipated from the Myriad Spirit Root of the World, no one can see through it when I use it as a replica,” snorted Lu Yun as he took a seat on one of the growth rings of the Immortal Myriadtree in Ruina.

After Qi Fengyun obtained the spirit root by defeating Xia Wan, Lu Yun had fas.h.i.+oned it into a replica and placed it on the altar in Immortal Nation to sit there in his stead. His injuries had healed, so what would he remain on the altar for? To be an easy punching bag for others?

He immediately sensed danger when he saw the Curse King in Myriadsea, so he’d moved to the safest place in the world—Ruina.

Ruina Immortal Nation was a floating island on top of Ruina. The real Ruina was a ma.s.sive cavern beneath the sea. It was the source of the sea and its final resting place. No one knew what was within it—no one who ever ventured in had made it out alive. Even the floating island had brimmed with danger before the Immortal Myriadtree descended.

Upon the tree’s arrival, all of the island’s dangers had retreated. According to Dongfang Mo’s speculations, those dangerous ent.i.ties had gone back to the true Ruina.

……

“See, I was right, Wu Di is no match for Dongfang Mo.” Jian Bu’er smiled as he caressed the Demonic Vine’s face. The vine closed her eyes in enjoyment, not minding the grime and filth that covered his fingers.

“But Wu Di is still one of the first powerhouses to come to Myriadsea World. It won’t be that easy for Dongfang Mo to kill him.” Jian Bu’er continued to observe the fight taking place above them.

Wu Di’s piecemeal body slowly gathered back together and reformed into a tall and bulky being. His presence was weak and his face wan; he stared aghast at Dongfang Mo.

Dongfang Mo’s expression was calm and he didn’t speak to Wu Di. A sixth ray of immortal light formed in his hand.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Wu Di yelled and whirled around.

Fully formed, the sixth ray hovered menacingly above Dongfang Mo’s palm. He scanned those beneath him with a noncommittal expression. “This art is called the Great Art of Slaughtering Immortals. It means to kill myself before I kill others. If I can kill even myself, is there anyone in the world that I dare not kill?”

“Retreat!” Wu Xian, Black Mountain Tiger, and the feathered woman looked at each other before leaving. Five rays of light had been all that was needed to defeat Wu Di. With a Jian Bu’er on the ground, they would not be obtaining the Demonic Vine today.

They wouldn’t even be able to draw near it.

……

Dongfang Mo stood in the void and looked down at Jian Bu’er.  Long hair fluttered around the former’s handsome features and his white robe billowed in the wind. He was das.h.i.+ng and refined with a coolly composed air.

Jian Bu’er was messy and dirty. His gray robe had been a white robe at some point and now showed signs of transforming into black. The contrast between the two men was quite stark.

“My wife.” Jian Bu’er pointed at the vine. “Future wife.”

“Mm,” Dongfang Mo nodded. “I wouldn’t be here if not for you saving me when I first arrived in Ruina. I will not harm her.”

“I can tell you have a good character.” Jian Bu’er nodded. “Don’t know if the same goes for your junior brother though.”

“Lu Yun?” Dongfang Mo blinked. “He’s fine. At least, he won’t take your wife—future wife.”

The Demonic Vine pulled a naughty expression at Dongfang Mo.

“Sword dao is done for, it can’t challenge the Sea Lord. What if I switch to immortal dao instead?” Jian Bu’er asked solemnly.

“Then you would be first among all sword immortals,” Dongfang Mo responded.

Jian Bu’er shook his head, he didn’t care about that. “Will I be able to leave this world if I practice immortal dao?”

“When Myriadsea World becomes a world of pure sequence, it will naturally expel all living beings. But, without the protection of a corresponding great dao, those beings will be vaporized as they’re expelled.” Lu Yun appeared in the void and smiled at Jian Bu’er.

“A soybean replica?” Jian Bu’er gaped at Lu Yun’s sudden appearance.

On the ruins of the altar back in Immortal Nation, the yammering Curse King suddenly widened his eyes at Lu Yun’s corpse.

“He’s not dead? Then this… d.a.m.n it, it’s the Myriad Spirit Root of the World!” He ground his teeth and snorted before leaving with a flourish.

He wouldn’t do anything to Immortal Nation. So what if he destroyed it? Dongfang Mo and Lu Yun would be able to build seven or eight new ones in a second as long as they were alive. Additionally, with how insane Dongfang Mo had been, he would charge to the world of curse dao in return and exterminate curse dao’s foundations.

The Curse King’s primary goal in Myriadsea World was to build a world of curse dao sequence. Immortal Nation was just fringe territory for immortal dao. Nothing would happen to the dao if the nation was destroyed.

……

“So I can leave if I practice immortal dao and wait for immortal dao to refine this world?” asked Jian Bu’er. “Then I might as well swear loyalty to the Sea Lord and help him refine this place.”

The Sea Lord was the strongest being in Myriadsea World. This world had originally just been a world of sequence, not Myriadsea World. It became thus after the Sea Lord appeared and refined the dao of a myriad seas, thereby evolving myriad sea sequence.

Thus, he was the most likely candidate to complete his world of sequence.

“He won’t do,” Lu Yun shook his head. “You must refine Ruina if you want to refine all of the sequences in the world. The Sea Lord has been able to refine ninety percent of available sequences because this world’s origin is Ruina.”

Since immortal dao occupied Ruina, all Dongfang Mo needed to do was to leave a replica in Ruina Immortal Nation to ensure his sovereignty. No one would be able to eliminate him then. With him modifying the foundations of immortal dao, melding spirit dao into it, and practicing formula dao himself, his strength had bounded forward and he was second to only Jian Bu’er.

Meanwhile, the Sea Lord had refined ninety percent of the sequences in Ruina to create the myriad sea sequence, turning this world of sequence into a ma.s.sive ocean. All of the remaining great daos in the world fought over the rest of the ten percent.

Thus, it was easy to imagine the Sea Lord’s prowess.
