Necropolis Immortal Chapter 1732

Chapter 1732: A Creature of Intelligence and One of Barbarism

“What is that??” Xie Tianxun stopped and stared dumbly at the daunting black battles.h.i.+p in front of him.

It spanned five hundred kilometers from bow to stern and was a floating fortress. Of course, given how colossal fourth realm beings were, five hundred kilometers wasn’t even the size of a mosquito.

However, this battles.h.i.+p could also expand. It contained three hundred and sixty-five h.e.l.l furnaces—not only did they borrow the strength of the Abyssal h.e.l.l, but they also called to the power of the other four h.e.l.ls when all were active.

It was the size of a world plane at its fullest capabilities.

“Just like you, this isn’t a thing.” Lu Yun looked merrily down at Xie Tianxun from the s.h.i.+p’s bow. It wasn’t a man he was gazing upon, but a humanoid manifestation of the great dao in the outside realm—the true order of heaven and earth.

He’d learned more about the outside realm via formula dao only after he returned from the Abyssal Tomb. Otherwise, he would’ve demanded cultivation methods from Chu Xingran and Ao Qin no matter what. Although there was a Moran Dongning in residence in the Abyssal h.e.l.l, she was the Time Guard and deeply connected to the entire Land of Reincarnation. He dared not have any designs on her.

Well, if he didn’t run into Xie Tianxun, he might’ve eventually demanded some knowledge from her.

Xie Tianxun’s face darkened and he ground his teeth when he realized Lu Yun was throwing his words back in his face.

“Quite a nice s.h.i.+p you’ve got here, but external items are external items in the end. You’re far too weak yourself, so both you and your s.h.i.+p are mine!”

Whoos.h.!.+

Xie Tianxun vanished and reappeared aboard the h.e.l.l battles.h.i.+p, next to Lu Yun.

“Do you know what separates creatures of intelligence from unenlightened barbarians that still drink blood and eat flesh?” Lu Yun swept a glance at the newcomer, wholly unsurprised by his course of action.

“I don’t know and I don’t care to know.” Xie Tianxun slammed his hand down on Lu Yun’s head. Killing this native would enable him to replace the young man and take owners.h.i.+p of the s.h.i.+p.

A tiny ripple traveled through the void the second his fist connected with Lu Yun’s head. The ripple blocked the blow and defused the terrifying force behind it.

“What?!” Xie Tianxun rapidly backed up, abruptly realizing that something was very wrong. The s.h.i.+p seemed to be isolated from the Land of Reincarnation and felt like a completely different world! He wanted to leave, but couldn’t depart from the vessel!

People could enter, but they could not leave.

“Creatures of intelligence are called that because they make use of tools to leverage outside force. They arm and strengthen themselves with other things,” Lu Yun’s grin broadened. “If brute force is your only source of strength and you don’t use tools or make use of outside forces, then what difference is there between you and savages tearing into their prey?”

Strength from h.e.l.l surged out of the battles.h.i.+p with a wave of Lu Yun’s hand and confined Xie Tianxun. There were three hundred and sixty-five h.e.l.l furnaces aboard calling upon the Sanguine, Abyssal, Hadal, and Nihil h.e.l.ls that’d been turned into tombs. Added to that Lu Yun’s own Disordered and Netherdark h.e.l.ls—the combination of all six h.e.l.ls resulted in the purest force of h.e.l.l dao. He’d also set up h.e.l.l layouts all over the s.h.i.+p, so while the vessel was termed a h.e.l.l battles.h.i.+p, the placement of “h.e.l.l” before “battles.h.i.+p” meant that this was a s.h.i.+p that carried h.e.l.l!

It was a moving fortress on the outside and a bonafide h.e.l.l on the inside.

“Hmm, hmm, you’re more useful alive than dead. If you die, then the strength of heaven and earth on you from the outside realm will fade away…” Lu Yun smacked his lips. He’d wanted to gain the strength of the outside realm from his six-thousand-strong h.e.l.l Legion, but realized that power from the Tome of Life and Death supplanted their original strength the moment they became Infernum.

“Father! Mount Astronomia won’t hold on for much longer. The one hundred and eight h.e.l.l cannons that you sent have all been destroyed!” Lu Qing’s urgent summons came just as Lu Yun subdued Xie Tianxun.

“Did Violetgrave not take the field??” Lu Yun frowned. Violetgrave was at the mountain; if she’d made a move, she should be able to hold back the surging darkness.

“She did, but a golden palace is keeping her busy!” Tension thrummed through Lu Qing’s voice. Formula Academy disciples were suffering casualties and sequence experts were starting to die.

If the situation continued as was, he’d have to have the academy disciples retreat to Fairylands. There were three thousand dao beholders there, but while they swore fealty to Lu Yun on the surface, they wouldn’t lay down their lives for him.

Apart from Jian Bu’er, the Dongfang father and son, and a few others, most were leisurely watching the show.

Lu Yun and the h.e.l.l battles.h.i.+p vanished without another word. When they next reappeared, they were at Mount Astronomia. The white mountain had turned to black as hordes of endarkened teemed over it. The light of the Sun, Moon, and Star Sovereigns glowed dimly as they were suppressed by the darkness.

A golden palace hovered over the landma.s.s. It was magnificent and shone brilliantly with gold, but the light didn’t belong to this realm. It belonged to only itself and wouldn’t illuminate any part of the realm.

Violetgrave fought with a pale-gold figure. Although she grasped the upper hand, she would be preoccupied for a while.

The wreckage of one hundred and eight h.e.l.l cannons were strewn throughout the void and the h.e.l.l furnaces rested in melted heaps. Pairs of scarlet eyes blinked into darkness, observing the events taking place. They belonged to the fifteenth level sequence creatures of the darkness. Though they weren’t physically present in the land of light, the aura they released suppressed the radiance from the three sovereigns.

“Intelligent creatures who know how to use tools and outside forces are being slaughtered by savage animals that only know brute force,” sneered Xie Tianxun. Although he was confined, he could still sense what was taking place outside. He was attempting to mask his emotions at the same time—he’d glimpsed the Esteemed Nebula’s Golden Dao Palace. The esteemed personage was the one behind this tide of darkness!

Lu Yun ignored him and threw him into the Disordered h.e.l.l for safekeeping. The h.e.l.l battles.h.i.+p roared to action and sailed straight into Mount Astronomia. Silver disordered h.e.l.lfire sprayed in all directions, disintegrating every endarkened they grazed.

“ROAR!!” sounded a furious snarl as a black claw probed out of the darkness. It closed around the battles.h.i.+p and tried to drag it into the gloom.
