Chapter 1917 – Demolishing the Roots of the God of Mount Tai
The power of hell draped over Nightmare when hellfire blazed into existence. In this moment, she was an envoy of hell. Clenching her fists tight, she sent out two dark stars with a punch. They streaked into meteors and dispersed in all directions.
Countless endarkened were struck and killed in their path, including high supremes!
Lu Yun bent his mind to perceiving the world spirit. With Nightmare acting as his extension, his will and the Tome of Life and Death’s will were also amplifying her strength. She was his eleventh Yama King for the moment and everyone she killed entered hell as a new denizen.
The ten grand supremes in the darkness could no longer sit still. They took the field, targeting not Nightmare, but Lu Yun concentrating on sensing the world spirit.
Bam!
A muffled collision rang out when the ten supremes drew near Lu Yun. A black figure landed in front of the young man like a cannonball.
“Suppress her,” Moran Dongning calmly said to the blue-haired girl as she descended from the air.
The girl’s expression shifted with dismay—that black figure was the manifestation of darkness. Moran Dongning had shattered all of the bones in her body and she couldn’t move. The blue-haired girl wanted to defy the order, but she saw the mark of the Tome of Life and Death between Moran Dongning’s brows.
Shaking, the blue-haired girl suppressed the dark dao girl, but also treated her injuries at the same time.
Moran Dongning ignored her extraneous gestures and set foot into the air with her hand splayed open. She absorbed a formidable amount of darkness, turning the laughing and crying mask on her face bright red. Two lines of tears streaked down the treasure like trails of blood.
She flitted through the void as if she were dancing, turning into ten copies of herself that spread out toward the ten grand supremes of darkness.
Nightmare had also wanted to stop Moran Dongning from joining the battle, but she gave up the impulse after seeing the mark of the Tome of Life and Death sparkle between Moran Dongning’s forehead. She refocused on killing everything in the Dark World. She would end all of their lives herself and transform them into true beings of order so they could live in hell!
……
“God of Death!” rasped out a disbelieving voice as a grand supreme stared incredulously at Moran Dongning.
The laughing and crying face still trailed tears of blood. It was no longer the Master of Darkness, but something more terrifying—the God of Death.
The Master of Darkness was just a treasure, granting its wielder authority over darkness in the land of darkness. The God of Death, however, was the combination of the former and a being of order. Together, they unleashed the mask’s full power and exercised full domination over the darkness.
For the moment, Moran Dongning was the God of Death.
Crunch!
Moran Dongning’s slender hand reached into the chest of the grand supreme that’d spoken and crushed its beating heart.
A grand supreme perished, swiftly followed by its nine brethren in the same manner.
With that, ten grand supremes entered hell and switched to immortal dao, melding their own dark dao into immortal dao. Immortal dao immediately grew stronger and truly came into its own with the addition of ten grand supremes, countless high supremes, and innumerable supremes. It was now a peak great dao in the chief worlds.
A rising tide lifts all boats, and so immortals were strengthened as well. Many of them, such as the Demonic Vine, had reached the level of exceeding sequence. All of them chose to do so without forging a dao palace, smashing their shards of sequence into dust.
Radiance flared over immortal dao as countless supremes without dao palaces bolstered its ranks. All of the World of Immortals turned pure white, illuminating the chief worlds like a brilliant white sun.
……
Within the tomb of the empyrean supreme.
Traveling with the corpse god, a horrified god of Mount Tai suddenly spat out blood.
“What is it?” the corpse god frowned at the mountain god. She was hardly willing to travel with her former dao partner, but this was the only person who would ally with her in the current chief worlds.
She’d schemed against him and he’d plotted against her. There was no love left between them, just simple mutual exploitation. Thus, the corpse god immediately thought of deserting the mountain god when he seemed to be gravely injured. The tomb of the empyrean supreme was an extraordinarily dangerous location that’d already claimed the lives of more than ten premier grand supremes since opening.
The number of genius supremes and high supremes that’d died were too many to be counted.
“Damn that Lu Yun, he’s destroyed my foundations and completely turned the Land of Reincarnation into a world of immortal dao!” The god of Mount Tai grit his teeth with rage.
As important as hell dao was, the opportunity to become an empyrean supreme was equally fatally attractive. The mountain god had left the Land of Reincarnation for the tomb only because he was confident that Lu Yun wouldn’t be able to grow or change things too much in a short period of time.
But how long had it been?! The foundations of the Land of Reincarnation were completely destroyed and immortal dao had erased his mark on the land. If he entered the World of Immortals now, he would be attacked by immortal dao!
Indeed, the great dao now possessed the ability to kill the mountain god!
The corpse god sneered as she studied the mountain god’s expression. So much ado for nothing. Her former dao partner had drawn water with a sieve and benefited someone else with his toil and trouble in the end.
“What is that book?” The god of Mount Tai mused in a dazed haze. He thought of the Tome of Life and Death in Lu Yun’s hand—the treasure that’d replaced Yun Yi’s Imperial Seal in the last loop. He hadn’t paid it much attention at first and continued to execute his plans against Hongjun, Pang, God, and the others. But it was this tiny detail that ended everything he’d striven for all these eons.
……
Moran Dongning and Nightmare worked together to slaughter everything in the Dark World in the shortest period of time, turning them all into denizens of hell.
The netherworld was now a picture of prosperity—no longer the vacant expanses it’d once been. Forced to stay in hell, Diexi and Xie Tianxun grew much more cheerful given the changes and began collecting disciples to build their legacies.
Lu Yun wasn’t opposed to their actions. There were already the ten Yama Kings in hell, but they were more managers than rulers. Hell needed more legacies to maintain its presence; he’d sent the grand supremes to the World of Immortals to protect it.
……
“Found it!” Lu Yun opened his eyes with delight. A dot of glimmering light landed in his palm like a drop of water from the void. Ripples shifted over the Dark World and converged on the tiny drop of water.
