Necropolis Immortal

panic spread through the sacred land troops.
They’d never dreamed that Lu Yun would want to pull them up by the roots!

“Stop! We surrender! We’re willing to swear loyalty to the six palaces and never betray you!” Some of them started begging for mercy, some of them tried to run to safety deep in the chaos.

All was disorderly mayhem in the realm now that a chaos tribulation was ongoing.
Since none of them were sovereigns, they couldn’t flee too quickly.

Palace sovereigns hesitated when they heard the pleas for leniency and they looked at Lu Yun.

“We already gave you chances before.” Lu Yun shook his head.
“I might have been able to soften my heart if the chaos tribulation hadn’t appeared.
But now, you can rest easy and accompany countless chaos creatures in their deaths.
Kill them all.”

The last comment reminded the palace experts of what was at stake here.
When the tribulation started, more than half of their own powerhouses had rushed into the chaos to do all they could to save the mortal beings.
The nine sacred lands, however, had sent almost all of theirs to attack the palaces!

Perhaps there were some among them trying their best to save people, just like the sacred palaces, but anyone here well deserved to die!

“KILL!!” A heaven-shaking battle stirred in the chaos.

While there were also sovereigns in the nine sacred lands, they’d only just broken through and were hardly comparable to the highly experienced veterans of the six palaces.
Though most of the palace sovereigns were preoccupied elsewhere, the nine sacred lands had lost their courage and backbone.
It was almost a completely one-sided slaughter.

“Prince of Inception Palace!” An absolutely insane shriek cut through the din.
Dressed in flaming red battle armor, Huo Shentong suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yun and slammed his hand down on the youth.

At peak eternal overlord, Huo Shentong was so fast that Lu Yun didn’t even have time to form thought, much less direct his body in an appropriate reaction.

Too fast.

Though Huo Shentong had yet to become a sovereign, his cultivation level was ten times stronger than before.
This palm strike was not only aimed at Lu Yun, but also encompassed Ying Luo and the others behind him.

Just as death seemed certain, a crystalline reached out from Lu Yun’s side and sent Huo Shentong flying.
Another man wreathed in flames slowly padded out.

“Huo Shentong, your opponent is me,” Chi Wuxia sneered at the man that he’d punched away.

“Chi Wuxia, are you betraying the sacred lands?!” Huo Shentong danced with rage that his ambush had been foiled.

“Betraying the sacred lands?” Chi Wuxia snorted with laughter.
“I’ve already comprehended the great dao of nirvana and am the sacred prince of Nirvana Palace.
If we’re talking betrayal, you’re the ones who betrayed me first.”

“The sacred prince of Nirvana Palace!” Huo Shentong’s eyes ignited into scarlet flames as he stared fixedly at Chi Wuxia.

“Then I leave him to you,” Lu Yun sighed gently with relief.
He’d really gotten a bit too full of himself.
Even an immortal lord or eternal overlord could kill him if they really wanted to, to say nothing of a sovereign.
With his current cultivation level and strength, he wouldn’t have a chance to react before they sent him out of the world of the living.

Ying Luo and the others behind him were also mortal beings.
They would’ve been smote into dust a long time ago if he wasn’t protecting them from the tribulation.

Chi Wuxia smiled at Lu Yun and slowly rose into the air, assuming a standing position in front of Huo Shentong.

“Huo Shentong, you’re such a piece of trash,” Chi Wuxia chuckled darkly.
“I once stomped all over you and nothing’s changed since then.”

“Is that so?” Huo Shentong leered and burst into flame, pouncing on Chi Wuxia.

“Get away from him, he wants to self detonate!” Lu Yun jumped with shock when he realized Huo Shentong’s condition.
