Necropolis Immortal

nd his tribulation lightning.
This time however, there was nothing the young man could do against the demon sovereign.

He had the Sugato Sword and his crystal cannons of course, but those things were simply black holes guzzling down immortal crystals.

He’d spent a fortune building the immortal crystal garden and luring in the Ancient Tree of Life, going so far as to borrow tens of trillions from the merchant alliance.
He was now a debt-ridden man who almost saw mirages of his crystals magically duplicating themselves in his ardent desire for more.

If possible, he’d rather cut down on his spending and use good ol’ fashioned weapons instead.
Moreover, fully-powered attacks from the crystal cannons or Sugato Sword might not be enough to slay this old skeleton.

The demon sovereign’s wrath seethed like a constant inferno after his humiliation in Dusk Province.
He itched to crush Lu Yun dead right this instant, but had hesitated over the boy’s words that he couldn’t protect himself.
Ultimately, he withstood his anger and chose not to kill the young man on the spot, because he knew Lu Yun wasn’t sprouting mere nonsense.

“Resolve the differences? Do you think the humiliation I suffered at Lu Feng’s hands can be forgotten with just a few choice words from you?” The demon sovereign leered with an ugly grimace.
“Though you said this seat cannot protect myself, let’s see who’s the one who can’t protect himself now.”

“Correct.
Like I said, you can’t protect yourself!” Calm and collected, Lu Yun tilted his head up and observed this giant skeleton more than three hundred meters tall.
“If you run into someone from the Green Firmament, how many blows from the Skyturning Seal do you think you’d be able to withstand?”

“The Green Firmament!” The demon sovereign shook.
“You say the Green Firmament is also here? And they brought the Skyturning Seal with them?”

“Yes, the Green Firmament’s Fangyang Xing is here with the Skyturning Seal.
When I fought with him outside the World Boundary, he used the seal to dispel my sword energy,” Lu Yun answered calmly.

“A trivial Fangyang Xing…” the demon sovereign snorted in contempt.

“Hahahaha!” Lu Yun burst out into hearty laughter.
“Trivial, you say? Demon Sovereign, you yourself used a special method to sneak into this realm, do you think the Green Firmament’s powerhouses won’t possibly do the same?”

The demon sovereign fell silent.
There were indeed countless experts in the Green Firmament.
Were it not for certain limitations, the entire world of immortals would’ve long become theirs.

A single powerhouse could use the Skyturning Seal to shatter his skeletal body in one blow.
After coming back to life, his enduring true spirit had begun to dissipate and transform into a regular nascent and true spirit, further weakening his current form.

“So what are you proposing?” the skeleton sneered.
“Do you perhaps wish to join forces with that laughable strength of yours? This seat could kill you by just blowing in your direction! Or are you going to block the Skyturning Seal for me?”

The demon sovereign didn’t dread the Green Firmament’s powerhouses, what he was wary of was terrible immortal treasures like the seal.

“I can’t deter the Skyturning Seal, but this can!” With a flip of his hand, a nine-hundred-ninety-nine storied pagoda—the Sword Sugato—appeared in his hand.

Hadal Bonefire twitched fiercely in the demon sovereign’s eyes.

“I’ll lend you the Sugato Sword so you can withstand the Skyturning Seal.
In exchange, we’ll write off any past animosity between us.
How about it? As for Lu Feng humiliating you, you can seek vengeance once you grow strong enough.” Lu Yun stood in the air, his tone brimming with confidence.

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll renege on our agreement and kill you off here and now once the sword is in my possession?” The skeleton smiled coldly.

“You are the Venerated Sacrosanct Demon Sovereign! Although I was born in this era, I have heard of your illustrious name! You fought against the immortal emperor in the Primordial Era, and while history labels you a demon, you are also a great figure of indomitable spirit and righteousness.
How would you possibly covet the possession of an insignificant true immortal?”  Lu Yun casually tossed the Sugato Sword to the skeleton.
“You can return this to me after you take the Skyturning Seal.”

“Very well!” The demon sovereign blinked, then nodded.
“Since you’re being so straightforward, let it not be said that this seat is a hypocrite.
Our previous grudge shall be written off, and when I take the Skyturning Seal from them, I will return your Sugato Sword!”
