Necropolis Immortal Chapter 1826: Tortoise Shell

Chapter 1826: Tortoise Sh.e.l.l

“There’s no rush,” Lu Yun shook his head. “The G.o.d of Mount Tai has yet to use everything at his disposal. You are the ace up my sleeve, so we’ll take care of things as they come.”

From the formation of Nihil Homeland to the appearance of New Nihil Homeland, then to the outsiders attacking Dragon Formula Academy, every step of the way had been part of Lu Yun’s plan.

It was all for this moment, to ignite conflict between the outsiders and redirect their attention elsewhere. They would be so preoccupied that they wouldn’t have energy to wonder what was happening here.

The timing was ripe and the six h.e.l.ls had grown as one after twenty thousand years. It was time to physically combine them together and forge the only origin h.e.l.l.

Lu Yun wasn’t afraid of the outsiders attacking this spot—the strongest powerhouses of the Land of Reincarnation were gathered here. Him refining the only origin h.e.l.l didn’t conflict with chief world interests either.

He was only afraid of the outsiders taking advantage of this opportunity to attack the fourth realm, seize the world of sequence, and claim the seed of nothing.

Jiang Chen wouldn’t leak the events taking place here because his goal was the world of sequence as well. Once their struggle over h.e.l.l became public knowledge, it was highly likely that someone else would end up with the world of sequence.

He was livid that the powerhouses of the chief worlds had restricted him from the Land of Reincarnation. His people couldn’t enter the fourth realm and he couldn’t project himself through his dao palace. Only his disciples could enter after the orders of the fourth realm were made complete—they’d paved the way for him to project his will inside.

Thus, Jiang Chen had no choice but to work with the G.o.d of Mount Tai.

Mo Yi and the Dao King flawlessly prevented any hint of the fight from escaping. Everything remained completely concealed. Though the grand battle took place in the secondary worlds, the powerhouses of the chief worlds were scrambling around in a panic due to the latest development with the Lifeline Talisman. They had no consciousness to spare for probing the secondary worlds.

Lu Yun had carefully crafted his plans to ensure that everyone would be misdirected. The time he’d fought for in the fourth realm was supposedly to eke out enough breathing s.p.a.ce for local powerhouses to grow into their power. Anything would help against the chief worlds.

In actuality, he was gaining time for himself to refine h.e.l.l.

He’d grown over the past twenty thousand years and acc.u.mulated various plans, contingencies, and tricks. So had the G.o.d of Mount Tai done the same, thus, Lu Yun’s ambitions hardly went unnoticed.

Since the mountain G.o.d was here, he’d surely made a plethora of preparations.

f.u.xi found some room to maneuver as Jin Naluo and Carmine Eternal attacked the zombie emperor. He called upon the Dragonquake Scripture and summoned the dragons of the secondary worlds, turning them into tangible dragons that tore at the Bag of Corpse Refinement.

The stream of zombies immediately stopped.

“d.a.m.n you Jiang Chen, is that all you’ve got?!” the mountain G.o.d bawled.

“My primary body can’t enter this land, what else do you want?!” Jiang Chen’s response rang with some schadenfreude. He wasn’t worried about the situation at hand—he had his own plans as well.

“What else do you want?” The mountain G.o.d immediately calmed down. He blocked Daoist Ingress’ sword and took three steps back, allowing the man to pa.s.s through. That conveniently cleared the way for Daoist Ingress to attack the corpse G.o.d.

The corpse G.o.d hated her current situation—that battle flag was the bane of her existence. Although Tianqi wasn’t that strong, he could fully keep her in check. When she was attacked on two sides, she was forced to retreat.

“d.a.m.n you, you broke my heart in your past life and now you want to kill me in your reincarnated life!” A deep bitterness sparkled in her ruby red eyes.

“Stop acting like that, old zombie. I severed my ties with the mountain G.o.d’s reincarnated form long ago,” Tianqi sneered. “You’re nothing good either. When the mountain G.o.d decided to kill you, you went along with his plan so you could plot against him. But what are you plotting? There doesn’t seem to be anything in the fourth realm that’s of use to you.”

“Don’t waste your breath, it speaks with a certain beguilement that can devour your heart and mind,” Daoist Ingress grumbled. Four rays of sword intent rose around him and a.s.sembled into a ma.s.sive sword formation. He spun his sword and stabbed it toward the zombie emperor in the air.

“Let me help you, Daoist Eternal!” Daoist Ingress and Carmine Eternal were old friends; they were hailed as the two greatest troublemakers in the human dao era. When Carmine Eternal developed in the Blood Sea, Daoist Ingress—then Daoist Yuyu—stood guard over her until she hatched from her egg and had the strength to protect herself.

When Daoist Ingress destroyed the connate treasures of the various races and slaughtered the emperors of human dao, thereby sparking the war of Emperors Fall, it’d been Carmine Eternal who stepped forward to help. The two extracted the great daos from the emperors and fas.h.i.+oned the foundations of immortal dao.

Now that he saw her struggle with the zombie emperor, he immediately leapt to her aid.

“Grand-master, come help me!” Tianqi snapped to wakefulness upon Daoist Ingress’ reminder. There was indeed a strange seed that was new to the bottom of his heart, and he’d likely come under the corpse G.o.d’s control if they kept fighting.

“Coming, I’m coming. You haven’t learned to keep yourself in check even in death, old zombie! How dare you try to seduce my disciple! No wonder the G.o.d of Mount Tai wanted to crush his most cherished flower!” Wahuang shook off the mountain G.o.d and took out an embroidered silk ball, slamming it down on the corpse G.o.d.please visit ?re????n?νℯ?.c?m.

Caught off guard, the ball smacked her head and the corpse G.o.d paused for a split second. That was enough for Tianqi to trap her with a roll of the battle flag.

……

“Give me your skeletal form,” Jiang Chen said when the corpse G.o.d was incapacitated.

“Fine!” There was no room for the G.o.d of Mount Tai to hesitate. The corpse G.o.d was out of commission and the zombie emperor was also restrained. That left the rest of the group free to mob the mountain G.o.d.

A bloom of Hadal Bonefire accompanied the skeleton. Jiang Chen threw back his head with laughter and projected his will into the bony body. This was another one of the mountain G.o.d’s contingencies. A mere projection of a supreme’s will was easily destroyed, but that wasn’t the case if it was housed in the hadal skeleton.

The G.o.d of Mount Tai refined Hadal Bonefire from nine beings that’d grown to the fourth realm. It rivaled h.e.l.lfire and the skeleton was coalesced from Hadal Bonefire. He’d originally prepared it for himself, but since he’d reformed a body over the past twenty thousand years, he didn’t need it anymore.

To Jiang Chen, this skeleton was an unparalleled battle zombie. Hadal Bonefire exploded when his projection sank into it. Instead of helping the mountain G.o.d or the corpse G.o.d, he charged f.u.xi.

“Well met!” f.u.xi stopped dismantling the Bag of Corpse Refinement and materialized a tortoise sh.e.l.l that was the size of a palm. He smashed it at Jiang Chen.
