Necropolis Immortal-Chapter 1888: Occupation

Chapter 1888: Occupation

The vanguard for bringing the fight to the outside realm wasn’t one hundred million headless supremes, but the heavenly soldiers of the world of immortals.

The world of immortals had developed far beyond expectations and powerhouses abounded within. It had become the heart of the Land of Reincarnation. While the Hongmeng and chaos still existed, they were subordinate to the world of immortals. Their powerhouses needed to undergo the ascent protocol when they reached a certain level and enter the world of immortals to cultivate further.

The world of immortals also finally took charge of the fourth realm.

Lu Yun wouldn’t have been able to do all this if he didn’t command one hundred million supremes. With such strong support by his side, would he use them as simple guard dogs?

The great daos of one hundred million supremes melded into hell dao and bolstered it by over a hundred times. Hell dao was part of immortal dao, so immortal dao was strengthened as well. When immortal dao grew stronger, the first beneficiaries were the immortals of the world of immortals.

As the fourth realm had experienced numerous wars, it was still slowly recovering. On the other hand, the world of immortals hadn’t been too affected by the situation because the outsiders hadn’t been able to make their way to it.

……

Calmlight major world.

Calmlight was the closest major world to the Land of Reincarnation and it used to be ruled by the Calmlight Supreme. But when the Land of Reincarnation opened, the craven supreme quickly evacuated the premises.

It was the last notable stop for chief world cultivators seeking to enter the land. Even now, they were loath to give up the riches of the backwater Disintegrated Land. Numerous factions of the outside realm kept each other in check before, resulting in no one being able to fully flex their muscles.

With the true powerhouses having gone to the tomb of the empyrean supreme, the supremes were no longer curtailed in their behavior and could completely bare their fangs. Various supremes gathered on Calmlight and put their dao palaces together, intending to use their palaces to force through the orders of the Land of Reincarnation and enter with their primary selves.

“Everyone, we do have another option available to us!” The Greatred Supreme had fallen flat on his face during his first excursion. His projection had been destroyed and his primary body almost perished. Hence, he was the instigator for many things this time around.

“It’s too risky to use our dao palaces to force our way into the Land of Reincarnation, but we can mobilize the major world beneath us and crash it into that forsaken place!” A cruel smile twisted his expression.

“There are countless beings that live in the Land of Reincarnation. If we do that, hardship and misery will drown the land and we will have to bear the karmic consequences of our actions.” Prudent tempering was the name of the game at their levels. There were many sorts of karmic relationships they weren’t willing to form, much less actively seek out retribution.

Lu Yun possessed a death art that could ignite one’s accumulated retribution and instantaneously kill an enemy. Ironically, it was useful when he was weak, but inapplicable when he was stronger and met opponents of corresponding caliber.

The stronger one was, the more afraid one was of death. Thus, the more unwilling one was to attract retribution. Powerhouses sought to negate karmic consequences even when they purposefully slaughtered innocents.

As opposed to a combat art, it’d be more accurate to describe the Judgement of Life or Death as a law. Laws weren’t meant to punish, but to supervise and warn.

Thus, Greatred’s suggestion met with general distaste. The associated retribution was too massive. Even though it would be split among one hundred or so supremes, the sheer magnitude of the karma would render them to dust all the same.

Crashing two major worlds into each other wouldn’t just result in horrendous casualties, but also destroy the worlds. It was too much for the supremes to bear.

“We don’t need to actually endure the retribution from this matter,” Greatred transmitted without skipping a beat after taking in everyone’s reactions.

The crowd brightened.

“In that case, let us not waste time. Let’s go find the Corpse Refiners’ zombies and have their mindless minions do the deed.” A supreme rose.

“None of you are going anywhere,” came a sinister voice. Black wraith-like figures manifested in the tiny meeting room before a bloody slaughter commenced.

After more than one hundred supremes died without a word, the heavenly soldiers from the Land of Reincarnation arrived.

They were highly experienced thanks to their battles with the outsiders. Those clashes had taken place during a time when immortal dao wasn’t near as strong as it was now. Regardless, the soldiers stalwartly guarded the gates to the world of immortals and kept the invaders at bay.

With immortal dao now more than one hundred times stronger than before, all immortals were lifted by the rising tide and their strength improved massively. Aided by the reinforcement of the headless supremes, they quickly conquered Calmlight.

The death of so many notable supremes in possession of a major world raised a significant ruckus in the chief worlds. Since the tomb of the empyrean supreme was open, that left basic supremes as the current masters of the chief worlds. Thus, many factions denounced Lu Yun for being a coldblooded murderer who killed without blinking.

It was one thing to occupy a major world, but why kill the innocent?!

The spirit paper published a recording a few days later—the supremes discussing how to shift blame to the Corpse Refiners. They wanted to use the sect’s zombies to ram the major world into the Land of Reincarnation!

The chief worlds were stunned into silence and no one spoke on behalf of the dead supremes anymore. They were courting death and the Corpse Refiners howled with fury! They reached out to the spirit paper branch in the chief worlds and penned a sobbing wail denouncing the group of supremes.f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝘸e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝚎𝒍. co𝑚

Then, they published an even more unexpected feature article, pointing out that many of the evils attributed to them over the years were, in fact, not of Corpse Refiner doing! They hadn’t refined worlds, turned supremes into zombies, or killed people for their treasures. They were framed!

Corpse Refiners were infamous throughout the chief worlds and mentioned in the same breath as the Dark Hell and Ghost Sect. No one would believe them at any other time, but the video recording a group’s intention to pass all responsibility onto the sect gave the public pause.

The Corpse Refiners hadn’t been able to enter the Land of Reincarnation due to Yun Yi’s interference, yet a variety of unpalatable things had still taken place in the land. Gradually, some began to believe what the sect said.

Of course, none of that had anything to do with Lu Yun. On the second day of the occupation, he made several plans in the major world and created the Calmlight Formula Academy. He then posted a “Missing” notice in the spirit paper, inviting the Calmlight Supreme to return to his world and be the academy’s headmaster.

Formula academies were where formula dao was disseminated, but if one wanted to learn formula dao, one had to cultivate immortal dao first. The heavyweights of the world of immortals never compromised in this matter. So while the missing notice seemed to be the work of a just and upright man, it was just for show.

The Calmlight Supreme would never relinquish his own great dao to re-walk the path of immortal dao, and so he’d never return to Calmlight World.

A few days after Calmlight Formula Academy was established, the heavenly soldiers of the world of immortals mobilized and traveled to another great world!
