NECROPOLIS IMMORTAL

Chapter 2053 – Judgment of Life or Death

“The first spacetime traveler…” Unbidden, Lu Yun thought of Chen Xiao, Qing Buyi, Lu Feng, and Moran Dongning. They were all spacetime travelers, but their strength was rather odd. It fluctuated and didn’t deploy consistently.

In fact, he’d never personally witnessed them using the power of spacetime travelers. It was rather Spacetime King Moran Wu who often displayed that kind of strength and set up spacetime formations. Based on Lu Yun’s calculations, the lost ancient city of the Hongmeng was Moran Wu’s city.

The clock at the end of the river of time was also his treasure.

The combination of lost ancient city and clock stabilized Hongmeng’s time, enabling the realm to proceed in an orderly fashion despite the lack of the order of time.

“You’ve probably guessed by now that the spacetime travelers are Mo Yi’s guard. She once had more than tens of millions of travelers under her command, but Moran Wu was the only one left after the battle with the overseer. He personally appointed the other four.” Jin Huo took a quick look around them, feeling that there was no need to keep anything from Lu Yun now that they’d arrived at the World Heart.

“Is Mo Yi… a nihil powerhouse?” Lu Yun felt that he should’ve realized it a long time ago. Mo Yi seemed to be heavily injured and most of her memories were fragmented. She’d lost much of her past—something that seemed to have happened in that enormous battle.

He’d also noticed that Jin Huo described Moran Wu as indomitable.

“No…” Jin Huo shook her head slightly. “Mo Yi isn’t a nihil powerhouse, she’s—ahem. She—”

Just as she wanted to talk about Mo Yi, a restriction came down over her and prevented her from saying anything.

Jin Huo immediately grasped that the World Heart, a place where Ancestor and Moran Wu suppressed demons, brimmed with their restrictions. Mo Yi’s affairs were absolute taboo here, so no one could speak of them.

If it wasn’t for Jin Huo being here with Lu Yun, the restriction would’ve smited her out of existence. She shuddered and shrank in on herself.

“All you need to know is that she’s the most important. Our world must have her,” Jin Huo forced out through clenched teeth and said nothing more.

“So all of you know and I’m the only one who doesn’t?” Lu Yun responded irritably. But there was nothing that to be done about that, he was junior to the rest of them.

Perhaps Mo Yi had once revealed her identity in an age gone by and everyone then knew her real strength. But for anyone who came after, like Lu Yun, missing that era meant missing everything.

Only when he became an empyrean supreme and stood in the orders of heaven and earth could he peer into the past and future. Thankfully, that day didn’t seem that far off. There was great opportunity to be found in the World Heart.

So he set the topic aside for now. Being skilled in formula dao as he was, he’d calculated a few possibilities. The fewer who knew and spoke of Mo Yi’s matters, the safer she was.

“I’m going to look for the fragment of the Firmament Prison, you go search for the tree god,” he said instead.

“I’ve realized after coming here that his will has always been alive in this place.” Jin Huo would come to no danger in the World Heart since she was a peak grand supreme and protected by the tree god’s consciousness.

Lu Yun’s primary task was to locate the core of the Firmament Prison and combine the three hells. That would propel the Tome of Life and Death forward once more and enhance his cultivation.

In contrast to its last evolution, he’d fully become one with the world inside the treasure after visiting the Three Thousand and being baptized by a real world. Both prospered if one found honor, and both suffered if one perished.

His cultivation would leap forward if the Tome of Life and Death evolved again, but he couldn’t bring Jin Huo with him in this task. Her only goal was the tree god. If Lu Yun kept her by his side, both of them would fail to achieve what they aimed for.

After Fuxi and Tailong’s reminders to protect her well, he’d shoved a ton of Resurrection Talismans into her body. There were ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine usages of them. She wouldn’t really die before all of them were consumed.

Not even an empyrean supreme would be able to kill her that many times. She was a peak grand supreme, after all, not a paper doll for show.

Jin Huo breathed out more easily when she heard that Lu Yun wouldn’t be traveling with her. She had her fair share of secrets that she didn’t wish to share with the young man. They were just partners for this operation, nothing more.

Lu Yun left after raising cupped fists. He’d already located where the fragment was—beneath the giant sword. Dangers lurked in this world that seemed perfectly at peace. He saw a massive severed arm in front of him, one that’d become an enormous mountain range.

“The corpse of a nihil powerhouse?” Lu Yun paused and opened the Spectral Eye, reading the death information to be found on the arm. It belonged to a heavyweight that’d exceeded existence and reached nothing.

But he was dead, dead in such a gruesome manner that his corpse had been broken up.

The mountain range was bigger than the chief worlds, and it was a landmass only because this was the World Heart. It would’ve turned into a realm in any other place.

“This is where Ancestor and Mo Yi suppress demons. They only suppress and not kill. Who can kill a nihil powerhouse and section their corpse?” Lu Yun sucked in a sharp breath.

The heavyweight’s killer wasn’t included in the death information, but Lu Yun could tell that the victim had suffered enormous torment before his death. He’d been tortured to death.

There was no hierarchy in the nothing as that was all it was. Empty and devoid of everything. There were no ranks, just being able to contain more power of nothing the bigger one’s body was, and therefore the more strength.

This broken arm was bigger than the entire chief worlds, which meant its owner was a premier existence when alive.

“I’ve gotta be careful, even the Dao King has come up short and lost control of Ancestor’s tomb. Ancestor and Moran Wu may very likely have lost control over the World Heart as well,” Lu Yun said to himself. He was just a grand supreme. Since he wielded the power of reincarnation, he wouldn’t be able to use resurrection arts to revive himself.

Once he died, the power of reincarnation would disperse and the Tome of Life and Death shatter. He wouldn’t have a chance to bring himself back to life.

“Eh?!” His heart clenched as he discovered a surge of malevolence rising from beneath his feet. He teleported several million kilometers into the distance at almost the same time.

A huge beast shaped like a crocodile buried out from the ground and snapped its jaws at him.

“A vicious beast! One from the Three Thousand! That’s the one that killed the nihil powerhouse!” Lu Yun recognized when he saw the beast. “You’ve killed so many that you’re completely tainted with retribution. How dare you come close to me?”

He lost his fear when he took a clear look at the beast.

“Judgment! Of life! Or death!” He pointed to activate a death art that he hadn’t used for a very long time.

One point would determine its life or death.
