Chapter 2013 – Cause of Death

Lu Yun nodded mutely when he heard the person’s words. He knew what the other meant—obtaining that sword meant he had a chance of exceeding this part of existence and becoming a nihil powerhouse.

If he could exceed existence and enter nothing, he would certainly become that person’s prey. The sword might even be something that the being wanted.

But so what?

Who didn’t want to rise from their world and set sights on even vaster expanses?

With that, heaven and earth returned to normal and Jin Huo appeared in front of Lu Yun once more. The one in the nothing had left. Lu Yun stretched comfortably and regarded the scene with a lazy expression.

……

Lu Yun and Jin Huo didn’t immediately set out for their destination. The latter had waited so long that a few days more didn’t matter.

The World of Immortals continued to expand. When it occupied three thousand major worlds of the chief worlds, it halted its outward momentum.

Three thousand major worlds made it the strongest faction since the heavenly emperor’s primordial court. He’d built his dynasty not to rule the chief worlds—it wasn’t his inclination in the first place, given his personality. He’d done so to revive the primordial world of immortals.

The primordial heavenly court lay within the Firmament Prison. The realm monster had already taken up residence in the primordial world of immortals to complete its final transformation.

Since Yun Yi didn’t sacrifice Chu Xingran, that meant she didn’t sacrifice Xie Tianxun either. Therefore, she’d given her strongest replica to the realm monster so it could continue transforming.

The realm monster turned into a true heaven and earth after its metamorphosis. It slowly melded into the primordial world with the aid of the five sets of organs, becoming the seed for a world and germinating at a leisurely pace.

Despite its accomplishments, the current World of Immortals wasn’t as powerful as the primordial heavenly court. Even though it was common knowledge that a peak grand supreme was present in the realm, that didn’t sway opinions since there were a few peak grand supremes in the chief worlds as well.

Such as King Chu and Queen Xun.

But on this day, they jointly entered the World of Immortals. It was because of this that Lu Yun and Jin Huo hadn’t immediately set out on their journey.

King Chu was a tall, middle-aged man in peak health. His aura carried a few traces of a dominating air.

“Congratulations on your rebirth, Peak Grand Supreme Jin Huo.” He squeezed out a smile when he saw Jin Huo.

“Mmhmm.” She nodded, saying nothing else in greeting. “What business might the two of you have here?”

Although she didn’t see Queen Xun, the latter was certainly here. She even knew what the couple had come for.

Chu Xun.

There was no direct connection between Chu Xun and Jin Huo. The girl wasn’t manifested from Jin Huo’s soul parts; she was the daughter of King Chu and Queen Xun. Peak grand supremes wouldn’t tolerate the souls of other peak grand supremes becoming their children.

However, Chu Xun had been born due to Jin Huo’s order of life. It was nearly impossible for peak grand supremes to produce descendants otherwise. Her name was the amalgamation of her parents’ names—an indication of how much they valued their daughter.

Seeing as Chu Xun was in the World of Immortals these days, a place constantly eyed by the realms, King Chu and Queen Xun had no choice but to come. In their eyes, this was the most dangerous place in the chief worlds. They had to bring their daughter back with them!

Jin Huo didn’t care about this and neither did Lu Yun.

Chu Xun wielded the full order of life and could allow others into the primordial world of immortals. There was a wretched old man on guard there, so it was another matter entirely if her parents dared venture forth.

At the same time, Lu Yun wasn’t the least bit worried about the order of life. The wretched old man was certainly an empyrean supreme—and an incredibly strong one. The dark empyrean supreme truly hadn’t dared face him with either a replica or his primary body.

King Chu and Queen Xun wouldn’t dare consider taking over the primordial world of immortals either. Only empyrean supremes had the right to contemplate that course of action.

……

Lu Yun didn’t care about matters in the World of Immortals anymore. The arrival of Chu Xun’s parents raised no particular emotion in his heart. Right now, he was at the ruins of the Firmament Prison.

Its various phenomena were no more with the realm monster’s disappearance, but this area was still off limits. It was the territory of a peak grand supreme now.

Tailong.

Tailong wasn’t surprised at all to see Lu Yun.

“The last strand of the prison’s core essence is in the World Heart.” He cut straight to the chase as he knew why Lu Yun was here.

“What?!” The young man trembled.

The World Heart!

“Yun Yi sent the last strand there, so you have to pay a visit if you want it.” Tailong spread his hands out with resignation.

Having returned Heavenfall to God, Lu Yun was once more an ordinary high supreme. At the same time, he possessed the life form of a grand supreme thanks to the Disordered Empyrean Supreme utilizing a secret shamanic art.

Lu Yun was currently both a high supreme and a grand supreme. He possessed the ability to meld the core essence of the Firmament Prison into hell dao and make the latter whole. If that task was accomplished, hell would reach heights that not even the Disordered Empyrean Supreme could’ve imagined.

The dark empyrean supreme had created a trap in the tomb that would force Lu Yun and Jin Huo to visit the World Heart, yet… so had Yun Yi.

It was immensely evident that the World Heart was an extraordinarily important place. Perhaps the dark empyrean supreme wanted to borrow it to kill Jin Huo and Lu Yun so he could obtain the order of life, but so was Yun Yi plotting something there.

“Is it that sword?” Lu Yun sank into deep thought. “What is the World Heart?” He jerked his head up at Tailong.

“Many people have come to the same theory that our patch of existence is the result of the death of an unparalleled powerhouse,” he responded with the same theory that Mo Yi and the Dao King had voiced. “The World Heart is that person’s heart and there is a sword stuck in the center of it. That is likely why that personage died.

“But don’t try to pull it out. The supposed greatest empyrean supreme of this existence—the Nihil Empyrean Supreme—once said that if it is removed, that figure might come back to life. Then our world would no longer exist,” Tailong warned solemnly as Lu Yun shuddered.
