Chapter 1916 – On Your Knees
“As I thought, a ghost.” A cold sneer played on Lu Yun’s lips when he looked at the newcomer. “You’re the manifestation of sea dao and someone killed you, didn’t they?”
The blue-haired girl’s expression shifted when she heard these words. She hadn’t expected Lu Yun to see through her with a single glance! She was indeed the tangible form of sea dao, the same nature as the girl of dark dao. However, someone had killed her and this was her lingering resentment. She was now a ghost.
“Since you’re a ghost…” Lu Yun spread out his hands as flames ignited over his body. His nascent spirit flared with power and the image of hell superimposed over his body. “On your knees!” he roared.
The blue-haired girl didn’t have time to consider anything before she thumped to the ground. Uncontrollable fear engulfed her and she shook with dread.
She’d faced Lu Yun with something similar to a puppet last time, so she hadn’t been able to sense the terrifying power of hell on the young man. Bolstered by the Tome of Life and Death, hell could restrain all ghostly entities.
This was even more so the case after Lu Yun razed Starcatch Tower. Enhanced by the great daos of the supremes and high supreme he’d killed, hell dao and immortal dao developed to unimaginable heights.
While the Starcatch supremes might be inferior to the ten billion supremes that Tailong had given Lu Yun, there were high and grand supremes among the faction. Just Sikong Myriad Treasure and his great dao alone far outstripped the army of ten billion supremes.
Not only that, but Lu Yun also smacked two grand supremes to death on the bridge to the Dark World. They’d both switched to immortal dao now, creating the presence of grand supremes within the great dao. It was only in its current state that immortal dao possessed the right to sit at the table with the great daos of the chief worlds.
Once the Tome of Life and Death and hell dao materialized, there weren’t many ghostly entities that could withstand Lu Yun. All ghostly and yin entities had to bow down before him, including those from the Ghost Hell and sect master of Ghost Sect!
“What… what is that?!” The blue-haired girl had discovered the presence of hell long ago and was immensely confident in her ability to defy it. It could exert no authority over her even if there were numerous grand supremes inside it.
But… she never considered the possibility of the Tome of Life and Death. When it appeared, there was nothing she could do but kneel!
Lu Yun walked up to her and extended his hand. “Give it here.”
Shaking, the blue-haired girl placed the beating world heart onto the young man’s palm. He casually tossed it into hell, whereupon the Gates of the Abyss suddenly opened and gave way to a charming figure.
“What are… you doing here?” Lu Yun asked with a stiff expression after taking a good look. Why was Mo Yi entering the Dark World at this time?
“I remember coming here before and leaving something behind.” Mo Yi cocked her head and considered the world heart that Lu Yun had just sent into hell.
“The… world spirit?” she murmured. “Right, I left the world spirit here—not to prevent this world from becoming a land of darkness, but to subdue it!” She turned around and smiled at the young man. “Hell can give rise to hell dao order if a world heart is combined with it, but that’s not enough. You need to have hell devour this entire Dark World if you want to create the hell of your dreams.
“The god of Mount Tai once created a hell, but that was his and not yours.”
“You… saw the present from the past?” Lu Yun asked incredulously. Based off of her words, she’d prepared this Dark World for him. But the loops hadn’t even started in the Land of Reincarnation when this world appeared and there’d been no Lu Yun!
“Time holds no meaning for me,” Mo Yi shook her head. Time as a function of the past, present, and future was just a form of existence to her. If she wished, she could travel through time whenever she wanted and visit the past or future.
Perhaps the past her had seen their current circumstances all those years ago.
“What is the world spirit?” Lu Yun asked.
“It is the heart and spirit of the world.” Mo Yi gave the matter some thought and crushed the world heart in her hand. “Use your heart to sense it.”
Lu Yun nodded silently and sat down cross-legged, releasing his thoughts so he could discern the rhythm of the Dark World. With the current heights of his cultivation, he easily understood Mo Yi’s words.
She nodded and padded back to hell.
“Stand guard over him.” Her voice traveled back on the wind.
The big-headed doll scurried back, still carrying You Haoyue’s head. He snuck a careful glance at the blue-haired girl kneeling in front of Lu Yun. She wouldn’t dare rise without the young man’s permission.
In the depths of the Dark World, despair suffused the manifestation of dark dao. She was losing the fight and energy from the Master of Darkness invaded her body. Dispirited and with hope fading fast, she desperately clung on and wished for a miracle.
The grand supremes of darkness stirred to action as well. Lu Yun reaching out to the spirit of the world was an attempt to capture the entire Dark World. They would not idly sit by to allow him to succeed!
The big-headed doll and Nightmare were extremely powerful. Add to that the kneeling blue-haired girl in front of Lu Yun… the combination was sufficient to overpower the entire Dark World. But when faced with a matter of their survival, the endarkened grand supremes had to throw all caution to the wind.
They were from the true land of darkness and their ultimate goal was to invade the chief worlds. Upon slaughtering all life in the chief worlds, they would be able to assimilate that realm into the land of darkness. A puny world spirit standing in their way of success so soon after their arrival was the last possibility on their minds!
Lu Yun devouring the world spirit wasn’t to set the Dark World free, but to completely refine it. Thus, ten grand supremes showed themselves and charged the young man.
As the Master of Darkness wasn’t on him at the moment, countless supremes, high supremes, and some endarkened sequence cultivators also flung themselves out of the gloom. Twin rays of cerulean ghost fire flashed through the blue-haired girl’s eyes. However, Nightmare stopped her when she rose.
“Don’t do anything!” Nightmare stood in front of her.
“Just you—eurp!” Ready to break into loud cursing, the girl gulped when she registered the mark of the Tome of Life and Death on Nightmare’s forehead. She swallowed her words with a convulsive shudder.
“You stay put as well,” Nightmare said to the big-headed doll. A black flower of hellfire appeared in her hand. She was currently an extension of Lu Yun. Whoever she killed would also enter hell as a new inhabitant.
