Chapter 2231.2 : Kill You All The Same

“I would be able to destroy you in the Celestial Realm Battlefront even if you were Marquis Skyglory himself, to say nothing of the fact that you’re not.” Lu Yun twisted his ray of sword light and became unquestionably keen, cutting straight through the vast power of heaven and earth hurtling at him. The magnificent and unbounded strength that could crush anything was sliced through by the layer of light around the young man!

“Kill!” the Lu young master roared.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!” The portentous word echoed in the void instead of fading away, ripping through the power of heaven and earth that the man summoned. He paled with dismay at the sight.

“Die!”?There was no emotion in Lu Yun’s eyes as overwhelming black sword light exploded from his hand. It shot for the man’s head without any bells and whistles.

Terror dawned on the man’s face and he frantically twisted and turned. However, he was as if an ant in the face of such colossal sword aura.

“You can’t kill me! I’m the grand overseer for Marquis Skyglory! You’ll pay a hefty price if you kill me!” the man screamed.

“I already said that I would kill Marquis Skyglory himself if he came!” Lu Yun was wholly unmoved. The domineering man in golden armor flew apart as dust beneath the black sword light. His true spirit was completely extinguished.

All was silent between heaven and earth. Lu Yun seemed to awaken something beyond the three thousand lifetimes in this moment.

……

“That kid sure has some guts.” Two men stood in a patch of unknown space in the Celestial Realm Battlefront. Their eyes pierced through the void and looked at a particular spot in the battlefront.

The speaker was dressed in long ivory robes and looked to be in his early twenties. Some amusement flitted across his aloof face.

The other wore clean white robes. Fingernails neatly clipped and features delicately shaped, a wan pallor filled his face. The look in his eyes was empty without any emotional ripples.

“Although Marquis Skyglory is a newly promoted marquis, his predisposition toward his own rivals that of Marquis Skyrule. He wouldn’t send his people to seize the Jade Ruins Celestial Realm Battlefront for the death of a golden immortal otherwise.” The young man in ivory robes chattered on and on while his companion remained quiet as always.

“White,” the young man in ivory robes suddenly paused. “The heavenly book has fashioned a new body for you in this place. Can you still not see?”

“No.”

“Can you hear?”

“No.”

“Touch?”

“No.”

“Taste…”

“No.”

“Then…”

“Only if there is another red spider lily here,” said the young man with empty eyes.

“Ai…” sighed his companion. “I really wonder what’s the point of living then. If it was me, I would’ve long deconstructed myself and reincarnated.”

“Perhaps…” White turned around and turned his blank eyes to the young man—Mo Qiyue. “Perhaps I am still this way after I deconstruct myself.”

Mo Qiyue blinked, then nodded. If even the heavenly book was powerless to change White’s condition in the battlefront, then reincarnating might not lead to a better ending after all.

“Good thing you have your consciousness. You wouldn’t be able to do anything without it,” Mo Qiyue mumbled. “I say, who do you think Sir Heaven is?” He looked curiously at the young man in the air.

“I don’t know.” White remained as taciturn as always.

“I thought that it’d be Lu Yun, but it looks like it’s not him.” Mo Qiyue smacked his lips. “Lu Yun would be too ridiculous if he really is Sir Heaven.”

“I rather think that Lu Yun is one step higher than Sir Heaven,” White responded calmly. “Lu Yun dares hit even the Origin King.”

“Um…” Mo Qiyue rubbed his nose. “I always thought Lu Tianling was behind that.”

“No.”

Great Xia, Marquis Skyglory’s manor.

Marquis Skyglory wore a golden crown and long golden robes. He looked to be a young man not yet in his thirties.

His rise was legendary in Great Xia. Hailed as a stunning genius in his youth, he’d slain true immortals as a combination cultivator. The feat took Great Xia by storm.

After six marquises fell in the battle at Jade Ruins Realm, their empty spots needed to be filled. Marquis Skyglory was one of them through widespread public acclaim. The heavenly book bestowed him the title of Skyglory, of which he fully lived up to. He was extraordinarily dazzling no matter where he was.

“Your Grace.” An immortal dressed in the robes of a servant frantically ran up to the marquis and fell on both knees.

“What is it?” Marquis Skyglory slightly lifted his eyelids.

“The grand overseer’s soul lamp has shattered.” The shaking immortal didn’t dare look at the marquis’ face.

“I see.” Skyglory waved a hand. “You are dismissed.

“The Jade Ruins Celestial Realm Battlefront?” The marquis closed his eyes. When he next opened them, they blazed with killing intent.

……

The Jade Ruins Celestial Realm Battlefront had gone completely mad. Countless cultivators charged through it, singing Sir Heaven’s praises. The Jade Ruins portion seethed with excitement.

Lu Yun slowly heaved a sigh. “I have awoken from my dreams, but the skills I gained from the battlefront still remain.”

He had to start over from the beginning after awakening in the outside world, everything from cultivation, dao methods, and even understanding of heavenly dao. But after entering the Celestial Realm Battlefront, he returned to being the invincible Lu Yun of his dreams.

One’s true spirit entered the battlefront—he’d journeyed through his three thousand lifetimes with his true spirit. Thus, all potential in his true spirit flared when his true spirit took shape in this world.

In his current condition, he was the same as the Lu Yun of his reincarnations.

“While the Celestial Realm Battlefront is one entity, it’s been fragmented into multiple planes. Each one is a massive treasure. If Marquis Skyglory wishes to claim Jade Ruins, I will knock out all of his teeth.” Lu Yun waved a hand and summoned his last opponent’s immortal armor, sword, and transportation ring.

“A third rank immortal sword? It’s good enough, but its materials do not measure up to the Immortals Decline that the heavenly book has given me.” Lu Yun shook his head after observing the man’s sword.

While Immortals Decline was only a paramount dao weapon like his Immortals Forbidden, the materials it was forged from were paramount rank with limitless potential. Lu Yun was master refiner, so it was possible for him to enhance Immortals Decline to the immortal rank.

He didn’t plan on leaving it in the Celestial Realm Battlefront. In the outside world, he needed paramount rank flying swords of the five elements to deploy the Reincarnation of the Five Elements. Immortals Decline was a water attribute flying sword.

A typical immortal rank sword was sufficient for the battlefront.

“Are you… Sir Heaven?” The curvaceous woman and Tiger approached Lu Yun with trepidation.

“Thank you for your sword.” Lu Yun returned the woman’s sword with a wave. “As for the title of Sir Heaven… I don’t know anything about that.”

Smiles crossed the faces of the other cultivators. This was indeed the Sir Heaven from the outside world that was the scourge of Great Xia Immortals!

The woman carefully received her sword and put it away. She had something to boast about to others now!

“Everyone, that Marquis Skyglory or whatever came to the Jade Ruins part of the battlefront and wantonly sought to throw us out of it. Are we going to stand for that?” Lu Yun suddenly called out to the cultivators on the ground.

His presence was warm and gentle, giving one the feeling of a refreshing spring breeze. Added to that him taking the field for Jade Ruins cultivators and killing hundreds of Great Xia cultivators… it made all of the Jade Ruins cultivators kindly disposed toward him.

The crowd quieted down, waiting to hear what the young man would say next.

“Does Sir Heaven mean…” The same thought flashed through many people’s minds.

“I will charge into Great Xia’s battlefront after three days and seek out Marquis Skyglory. I demand an explanation!” Lu Yun’s tone was calm while killing intent blazed in his eyes.

Sir Heaven of the Jade Ruins Realm was going to march on the Great Xia battlefront in three days! He required an explanation from Marquis Skyglory of Great Xia!

The news quickly spread through the immortal dynasty as a terrifying whirlwind, raising enormous commotion in Great Xia and its three thousand worlds of cultivation. Countless cultivators cursed Sir Heaven for having an inflated sense of self worth and daring to show disrespect to a Great Xia marquis. Did he have a death wish??

Even more were those who remained silent.

……

Lu Yun never cared about what others said or thought. He followed his heart and did whatever he wanted to. When it came to tasks he didn’t care for, not even his master was able to sway him otherwise.

The three days were to ensure he had adequate time to prepare. Crouching tigers and hidden dragons abounded in Great Xia. Anyone who could rise to the ranks of the dynasty’s marquis was no ordinary heaven-defying genius.

Lu Yun never underestimated the enemy. Just one paramount dao rank weapon and a third rank immortal weapon was insufficient to challenge a powerful marquis of the immortal dynasty.

If it was single combat in the Celestial Realm Battlefront, he wouldn’t fear even the Human Emperor. But if numerous high level immortals rushed him at the same time, he would find things impossible as well. After all, he was only initial nascent soul in this arena.
