Chapter 2040 – Slaying a Sacred Supreme

The elder was hardly inclined to give up the fight despite Lu Yun deploying the Dragonspike Litany. He waved in hundreds of millions of ghosts from the surroundings and directed them at Lu Yun.

The ghosts were intangible and formed out of pure resentment. Not even the Disordered Empyrean Supreme was able to touch these if they didn’t wish for her to. The three empyrean supremes from earlier had died to this horde of malicious ghosts.

They were all ghost kings. Not just one of them, but all of them. Thankfully, their target wasn’t Disordered Empyrean Supreme or she would’ve died ten times over in the blink of an eye.

The other cultivators shuddered with dread when they saw the ghosts and tried to pretend they didn’t exist. They even controlled their breathing so it wouldn’t raise attention from the horrifying horde.

Twin black flames ignited in Lu Yun’s eyes—hellfire.

He’d deduced that there was no hell in the Three Thousand, so there naturally was no hellfire. The great dao here existed in its core essence—a state of ethos—whereas hell was the peak of development. It was nirvana, the final resting place of all life.

No one here would understand nirvana or hell even if he explained it to them.

Lu Yun held nothing back and released hellfire as a black fire dragon. It snarled and pounced on the ghosts.

This was still a combat art from the Dragonquake Scripture. Although hellfire represented the order of nirvana, the Dragonquake Scripture was a secret art of ethos. The combination of the two created an influence that could only be described as apocalyptic,

At least, that was what Lu Yun represented at the moment. He’d used the Dragonshift Method to collect a large number of dragon veins in the area and bring them down on himself and the dragon spike behind him.

The ghosts were torn apart by the dragon and nailed by the spike the instant they tried to approach him. When their resentment faded away, they naturally followed the Tome of Life and Death into hell and became one of many in the sea of Hell Flowers.

Lu Yun was a grand supreme now. According to Tailong’s words, the young man had the right to be his strategist and campaign through the realms with him. Thus, the marvelous uses of the Tome of Life and Death were fully laid out in front of him.

The elder’s expression shifted at what was developing in front of him and he spread open his arms, releasing uncountable ghosts from his body. The crumbling layout of ghosts that was suppressed by Lu Yun’s spike trembled, wanting to break free of the Dragonspike Litany.

Lu Yun snorted derisively, completely unperturbed. Trying to break free from a dragon spike? While the layout was yet to fully collapse, its foundations were crushed. It was crumbling from the inside, and as heaven-defying as the elder might be, the only recourse he had available now was to set up a new layout. It was impossible to turn this one around.

“Die!!” the elder suddenly howled as the blazing eyes shrugged off the decrepit body. It streaked forward as two meteors and rushed for Lu Yun.

“Rise!” the young man roared and an earthen vein in front of him rushed out as a dragon, blocking the eyeballs. However, it was also destroyed by the defense.

Lu Yun grunted and fell back half a step. Blood trickles out of the corners of his lips. He was just a grand supreme, after all. The owner of the eyeballs might be a sacred supreme.

Sacred supremes couldn’t come to this area, but they could send replicas. Once the tomb’s layout transformed into a burial mound, everything here would change. Sacred supremes would no longer need to fear the tomb.

The master of the eyes was definitely a sacred supreme of the Three Thousand. He wanted to change the tomb into a burial mound so as to facilitate the presence of sacred supremes in the area.

Once sacred supremes were on the scene, they could suppress the expanding burial mound, fully excavate its secrets before it grew to its maximum size, and then destroy it.

So how would Lu Yun permit him his wish?

The young man wouldn’t stand a chance if a sacred supreme was here in person. It was very likely that he would be exposed instead.

Lu Yun went on the offensive when his thoughts traveled here. He gave full expression to the Dragonshift Method and raised dragon after dragon from the ground. Baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, they transformed into combat arts of ethos.

He’d cultivated the six orders of the highest degree before and knew everything under the order of ethos like the back of his hand. Using formula dao as the medium, he immediately determined what the combat arts of ethos were.

Each blow pointed to the core essence of dao—the very definition of the methods employed by those of the Three Thousand. At the same time, they were much stronger than what the world’s cultivators could bring to bear. It was truly using force to dismantle all methods.

The sacred supreme flew into a rage when his eyes were fully suppressed by the dragons. He would be able to crush the young man with a single finger if his primary body was here! But with the large sums of earthen veins gathered before the tomb and the Dragonshift Method in motion, it’d become the young man’s home ground.

The sacred supreme could not measure up to the combat art that was the dragons.

Lu Yun spread his arms open and collected dragons in the void, forming a formation that besieged the eyes and kept them from moving.

“I know who you are!” he suddenly called out. “You’re a sacred supreme from the Cardinal Sacred Palace! The sacred palace destroyed my home and killed my kin! I will take revenge for them today and kill a sacred supreme from the Cardinal Sacred Palace!!”

“Just you?? How dare a puny ant speak of such heresy!” The sacred supreme was indeed from the Cardinal Sacred Palace. These eyes were derived from the eye of great dao, but the eye seemed to be restricted here. Or perhaps the sacred palace had determined that the outsider would come, so they didn’t dare send the eyes here.

The sacred supremes would arrive in person after the tomb’s layouts were broken and commence general annihilation. This Yun Tian would certainly die then. It was mostly demons gathered at the tomb, so they didn’t run the risk of killing innocents.

The sacred supreme behind the pair of blazing eyes burst into laughter when he heard the young man’s words. Although his eyes were trapped, his primary body was on his way here. Based on his understanding, or everyone’s understanding, Yun Tian meant to crush the eyes.

Hummmm.

An utterly horrifying thing happened next. Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine dragons gathered in the air, imprisoning the eyes in a formation. The massive pillar on the ground that was the Dragonspike formation rose into the air and flung itself at the eyes.

The Dragonspike Litany!

It could destroy everything under the heavens if it was strong enough, to say nothing of a sacred supreme!

Kaboom!

A tremendous explosion rocked the world. Silence rushed into its wake, followed by rain.

Rain the color of blood.
