Necropolis Immortal

further redefine it as a separate world and the root of a race, much like the hell of human dao.

Sadly, the world had suffered a cataclysmic blow before he could fully realize his ambitions.

“Now, I entrust this flame to you!” A smile floated onto the immortal emperor’s face as he looked at Lu Yun.
“This is the dying wish of the three founders, and it is my wish as well: Use the Sol Truefire to create a world that truly belongs to immortal dao and ensure that it prospers forevermore, that its light is never extinguished!”

“You’re going to become one with the flame?” Lu Yun immediately saw through the emperor’s intentions.
The immortal emperor was dead, his soul scattered and true spirit extinguished.
This ghost was just a manifestation of his obsession, one that carried the last of his will.

The Sol Truefire wasn’t something that Lu Yun could touch.
It completely burned everything in its vicinity, taking the form of a sun itself.
In fact, it was more dreadful than the actual sun hanging in the skies of the world of immortals.

However, the flame belonged to the immortal emperor, so if he combined his will with it, he would be able to calm it and hand over a tamed Sol Truefire to Lu Yun.
If he did so, though, the last traces of the emperor would be erased.
There would no longer be an immortal emperor of the Primordial Era in all of the world.

“You need to think carefully about this.
I can save you, reform your true spirit and shape your soul again… I can bring you back to this world so you can continue trying for your aspirations.”

“Hahahaha!!” the emperor laughed heartily.
“So what of life, and what of death? I have failed and died for my inadequacies.
Even if I am reborn, I would still be a failure.

“My only wish now is for the Sol Truefire to carry on my hopes and illuminate all life, that the immortal dao is eternal…”

Zoom!

The immortal emperor rushed into the blazing sun as he spoke, and the debonair youth in the coffin slowly opened his eyes.

Whoosh!

He shot into the sky and held his hand out to the Immortal Subjugation Seal, which came down gently in a haze of resplendent glow.

“The immortal dao is free and unfettered, and immortals are without chains and shackles! The world needs no Immortal Subjugation Seal!” The immortal emperor gave voice to a long whistle, igniting the golden seal in his hand and turning it into a ball of blazing flame.
All of the flames on the coffin gathered to the seal in his hand; tongues of fire flickered to life on his body at the same time.

Though he was going up in flames, the immortal emperor flung his head back in deep, satisfied laughter—the kind that originated from the bottom of one’s heart.

At long last, the greatest wish of his lifetime was fulfilled.

His body grew indistinct as his will was immortalized in the flame.

Puff!

Nothing was left behind of the emperor, and his will began to fade away as well.
A brilliant pearl that shone with the brilliance of a sun hovered in front of Lu Yun.

……

Dao City.

“WaaaAHHHHHH—“ While keeping an eye on Donglin Taihuang, the little fox suddenly burst into loud sobs.

“Your Immortal Majesty… We have an emperor no longer, our emperor is no more!” Tears steamed down Qi Hai’s face as he froze, trembling within Destiny City.
“You’ve… disappeared completely… How I wish our ideals were the same… I made my moves for humanity, but you undertook things for the good of all…”

“Your Immortal Majesty!!” The lord of Ingress Island and head of the Dark North Sword Sect wailed and beat their chests in anguish.

……

“Was that the immortal emperor? The man that defined an epoch a hundred thousand years ago…” Silverlight and Goldenlight looked at each other.
“What a pity we were sealed away and never witnessed his eminence for ourselves… He is no longer.”
