Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 1922 – The Purpose For the Land of Reincarnation

A trace of cruelty appeared on the woman’s face when she saw the red silk ball.

“Wahuang! Don’t think that I don’t know you’re also trying to appear much stronger than you are! You’re so gravely injured that you don’t even command the strength of a senior cultivator at the moment!”

Hum!

The shadow over the dark grand supreme’s head transformed into a ghostly body that melded into her. This was her true form—an enormous black demonic shadow. She was neither demon nor ghost. She puffed up her chest as she faced Wahuang’s incoming ball of silk, neither seeking to dodge or block it.

Wahuang was deeply injured and had died once; she was alive now only because of Lu Yun. Due to this, she was at less than one hundredth of her prime. Meanwhile, this dark grand supreme was only wounded because of her encounter with order. Given enough time, she would recover.

Thus, the dark grand supreme wasn’t afraid of Wahuang after she had a moment to calm down. Another thought sprang up in its stead—kill Wahuang!

BAM!!

The ball of silk crashed into its target’s chest and the resulting collision left a round hole in the black mist. The grand supreme threw back her head and sprayed black mist into the void, like she’d been nailed into space.

A slender hand probed out of the air and firmly pressed down on her chest.

“Who is it?!” the dark grand supreme screamed. Though she struggled, she couldn’t shake off the pale hand no matter what she tried. She was now back in the form of a human and looked like Chu Xingran again.

Ripples of what seemed like a lake’s surface in the autumn season undulated through the void. A young woman dressed in a lilac silk dress and delicate brows arched on her face walked out of thin air. Her hand was on the grand supreme’s chest.

“Greetings from Qiu Feishan of the Autumnus Realm.” Qiu Feishan nodded at Lu Yun.

He had no idea what to say. He felt like he’d set foot into a series of interconnecting plots and was the only participant ignorant of what was going on.

Mo Yi, Moran Dongning, and the Myriad Spirit Grand Supreme had seemingly set up a scheme against the manifestation of dark dao, when in reality, they were creating the opportunity for Lu Yun to collect the Dark World. But him collecting the Dark World wasn’t for him to create the orders of hell, but to force the land of darkness to act and manifest another Dark World.

Now that most of the chief worlds’ peak grand supremes had entered the tomb of the empyrean supreme, the land of darkness would certainly send one of their own peak grand supremes.

All of this had been taken into account by Mo Yi and the others—Mo Yi had even seen the emergence of the tomb when she dwelled in the past!

Qiu Feishan had entered the World of Immortals not just to help the azure dragon ancestral god and others, but also to elude the land of darkness. When they couldn’t see her, their peak grand supremes mistakenly thought that the foremost powerhouse of the chief worlds had entered the empyrean supreme’s tomb as well.

That was why the dark grand supreme who looked the same as Chu Xingran had descended upon the chief worlds in such an imposing manner. She wanted to create another Dark World, and Qiu Feishan revealing herself at this time was the true culmination of their plans.

Peak grand supremes were tremendous personages—the apex of existence in both the land of darkness and the chief worlds. Losing even one of them would be a fatal blow for the land of darkness.

On the other hand, capturing one alive would enable the chief worlds to more fully understand the land of darkness and even bring the fight to them. The darkness had attacked the chief worlds for countless eons, bringing about the deaths of innumerable experts. Any one of the peak grand supremes dying would impact the war between the two sides.

……

“The Autumnus Realm!” shrieked the dark grand supreme. She abruptly disassembled into a ball of smoke and dispersed in all directions. However, Qiu Feishan’s finger remained firmly on the same spot she’d initially targeted.

The dark grand supreme had no choice but to reappear after a few breaths—her heart was immobilized by Qiu Feishan’s hand. Terror struck, the grand supreme looked down at the immovable finger on her chest.

Bam!

Her heart exploded and took the rest of her body in the explosion. A black soul part landed in Qiu Feishan’s hand. She frowned at it.

“This is only your ethereal soul, where is your corporeal soul?”

“Indeed, isn’t that a mystery? Where is it?” The dark grand supreme leered and snuffed out all thought and memory, leaving a pristine soul part in Qiu Feishan’s grasp.

“There’s someone in the World of Immortals who looks exactly at her.” Qiu Feishan glanced in the direction of the realm and looked back at Lu Yun.

“Chu Xingran is someone selected by Yun Yi herself,” Lu Yun shook her head. “If Chu Xingran is her reincarnated corporeal soul, then Yun Yi will have already made her preparations.”

“Mmhmm,” Qiu Feishan nodded.

“Hang on!” Lu Yun quickly called out when he saw that she was about to leave. “Did all of you put in this much effort just to plot against a peak grand supreme?”

“What, do you think that’s not enough?” asked a startled Qiu Feishan.

“If my guess is right, the emergence of the empyrean supreme’s tomb is also within all of your expectations, correct? There might even be someone among you who can compel it to appear, so it can lure in the geniuses and powerhouses of the chief worlds. Am I right?” Lu Yun looked somberly at her.

Dangers abounded in the tomb. Based off of his calculations, many grand supremes had already died inside.

“If we include that suddenly appearing Tailong, there are only six peak grand supremes in the chief worlds. So you tell me, is it worth it or not?” Qiu Feishan asked him instead.

Lu Yun paused. There were only six peak grand supremes in the unending chief worlds?

“How many peak grand supremes does the land of darkness possess?” He quickly followed up this new line of thought.

“Don’t know,” Qiu Feishan shook her head. “We don’t even know what the land of darkness is. Some say that it stands in opposition to us and is wholly without order, rules, or laws. But the order of opposition itself is order. Therefore, it’s not correct to say that they are creatures completely without order.

“By the way, since you ended the Land of Reincarnation, you must create another one,” she transmitted the last line.

“What?” Lu Yun blinked, then thought of Fuxi and the others. A certain possibility sprang to mind.

“Beings do not truly die after they enter a land of reincarnation. They are reborn again and again in each loop without end. This doesn’t mean much to ordinary beings, but it is a place of rest and recovery for supremes and grand supremes.

“Those you are familiar with—Leize’s family, the four ancestral gods, Hongjun, Pang, and God were all grand supremes in their past lives. The mistress and Dao King as well—they do not die in a land of reincarnation. Nothing can harm them!”

Lu Yun trembled violently and nodded. “I understand.”
