Necropolis Immortal

he reached that conclusion.
Turning a sword spirit into a living entity? This kind of ability was nothing short of the power of creation itself!

A sword spirit was nothing but a spirit born from an object.
Although it possessed self-awareness, that didn’t make it a true living entity.
However, someone had transplanted this sword spirit into a corpse and turned it into a zombie king, one that shed death to come back to life, discarded yin to gather yang, and became a supreme existence.

At the very least, Lu Yun didn’t possess this kind of ability.

……

Diexi glanced at Lu Yun.
All of a sudden, an overwhelming field of crimson light illuminated the surrounding space and turned it into a world of blood.
In front of them, the sinister palace coffin came into view as skeletons successively crawled out of the crimson light and swarmed in its direction.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of deafening explosions echoed in the air as the skeletons relentlessly assaulted the palace coffin’s gates in an attempt to pry it open.

Rumble!!

The land shook, as though something had landed from above and trampled the group of skeletons right in the middle.

Countless skeletons transformed back into crimson light and returned to Diexi’s eyes.
However, she remained as impassive as ever and quietly remained where she was, turning the crimson light of her eyes upon the palace coffin.

The skeleton of a giant beast descended from the sky and wantonly rampaged through her illusion of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, relentlessly destroying the skeletons.
It resembled a giant skeletal lizard, but there was an enormous pair of skeletal wings on its back.
Countless skeletons crumbled to dust each time they beat.

“Hadal Bonefire! Hadal Bonefire is burning in this beast’s eyes!” Shaken, Lu Yun fell back a few steps.
He could see the shadow of the demon sovereign on this skeletal beast.
Although the demon sovereign had failed to ambush him and been sent packing by a few slaps from Lu Feng… he still dreaded this enemy waiting in the wings.

“Does the demon sovereign also come from here?” While Lu Yun was lost in thought, Lin Yu and Lin Xuan laid down a formation to protect this area.

More precisely, Lin Yu arranged a defensive formation while Lin Xuan deployed a feng shui layout specially meant to alter the environment and enhance the potential of Lin Yu’s formation.
Superimposing the two brought out every bit of strength from the defensive formation.
Meanwhile, the little fox had slipped out of Qing Yu’s clothes at some point and now jumped on top of Lu Yun’s head.

“It’s a saurian dragon!” the fox explained in a furtive whisper.
“This giant skeletal beast used to be the king of the saurian dragons in life.
To think it ended up dying here!”

“Do you know where we are?” Lu Yun hastened to ask.
He could vaguely sense that this place wasn’t simply a corner of hell; it definitely hid other secrets as well.

“Right above us is Mount Exalted, the Exalted Divine Emperor’s Last Repose!” The fox’s tone was extremely solemn, and the bell hanging in front of her chest chimed melodiously, as if awakening some long-buried memories.

“But we took the wrong way in.
We should’ve taken the entrance at the foot of Mount Exalted, then gone through a series of divine tombs.
That way, we could have avoided disturbing these scary fellows and arrived here safely.”

Her words reminded Lu Yun of the yin and yang realm tombs inside the celestial master tomb.
While part of the same whole, they represented two different sides of the same existence.
