Chapter 1887: Counterattacking the Chief Worlds
Due to the sudden emergence of an empyrean supreme’s tomb, the nine claw golden dragon temporarily put aside attacking the dragons.
All of the powerhouses of the chief worlds, apart from an exceedingly few high supremes, congregated in that tomb. Other than the opportunity to ascend to an empyrean supreme, all sorts of treasures and valuables could be found within.
It was said that empyrean supremes were existences beyond time, that no space could confine them. The tomb of this supreme had stood firm at the end of time and collected all treasures within this era.
……
Within the Land of Reincarnation, Lu Yun utilized Tailong’s medallion and deployed one hundred million headless supremes to cleanse his home of invaders. He did so so swiftly and thoroughly that the outsiders had no chance to react.
With that, the land was free to connect with Myriad Spirit major world and thus the chief worlds. It entered a period of fast paced development.
While the Myriad Spirit and Firstspirit Supremes were both absent, the former’s disciples followed their master’s orders and looked after the Land of Reincarnation. In truth, it didn’t need particular attention these days. Lu Yun had seized countless enigma stones during the spacetime tide and the land no longer lacked enigma stones or ancestral veins of heaven and earth.
Supremes no longer dared enter the land. Chu Xingran’s grand curse had taken full effect and could kill the primary body through its projection—supremes were no exceptions.
The tomb of the empyrean supreme caused the chief worlds stir to life. They also advanced at a rapid clip, and cultivators that’d once invaded the Land of Reincarnation left behind many of their legacies and dao methods. All of those were absorbed by the local orders.
……
“What is an empyrean supreme?” Fuxi and Lu Yun sat across from Hongjun on the peak of Mount Buzhou. The two had remained there all this time, never departing.
The cosmos outside Earth had grown into new Major Cycle Worlds to support the entire land. As the seed of nothing, Earth was swiftly evolving as well. It was beginning to meld with the world of immortals and receiving the bulk of the world’s inheritance.
“Empyrean supremes…” Hongjun looked into the vast cosmos. “There was once an empyrean supreme that appeared in the chief worlds. He later died. This suddenly manifesting tomb is his.”
“Actually, there were signs that it was about to appear,” Fuxi smiled. “The spacetime tide arrived ahead of schedule and the long vanished Sea of Creation also reappeared. These were all signs that the tomb was about to manifest in front of the public eye.”
Though the two conversed with each other, they didn’t tell Lu Yun what level an empyrean supreme was.
“Is that kind of supreme stronger than both of you?” asked Lu Yun after musing silently.
“You are so tiny right now…” Fuxi pinched two fingers together out of resignation. “Yet you ask about something that is greater than the entire world…”
“I need to have an idea of it, okay?” Lu Yun made a moue. “I’m going to be that big one day.”
“Che and Yun Yi have gone to the tomb of the empyrean supreme,” Hongjun murmured to himself, ignoring the exchange.
Lu Yun: ……
“I’m sure you know of the many levels above supreme,” Fuxi sighed as he looked at Lu Yun’s expression. “Supreme, high supreme, grand supreme… the title ‘supreme’ denotes nobility and majesty.
“Much of the knowledge in the current chief worlds is wrong. Sequence cultivators already exceed a mortal soul when they set foot on the path of cultivation, access sequence, and wield rules. They are not children, but true cultivators.
“Supreme reigns over sequence, which means supremes exceed ordinary cultivators and to craft their dao palaces. That is why they are hailed supreme!
“The same holds true for high and grand supremes. They are all supreme over order and venerated by order.
“An empyrean supreme comes after that. Supremes, high, and grand supremes cultivate order. Empyrean supremes cultivate heaven and earth. Heaven and earth is the final product of order and gives rise to all things. It is a tangible kind of order, so everything is but ants to an empyrean supreme.
“There is only one person who has ever attained that level in the history of the chief worlds—the heavenly emperor who unified the chief worlds and built the primordial heavenly court. He is the one buried in the tomb of the empyrean supreme,” Fuxi relayed to Lu Yun.𝗳re𝐞𝓌e𝚋n૦ѵ𝗲l. co𝐦
“You’re all grand supremes?! I thought you were above that!” Lu Yun cried out incredulously.
“Exceed grand supreme? That is so much easier said than done.” Hongjun stroked his chin. “We are indeed grand supremes, but the past us stood at the peak of our level and looked down over life itself.
“Myriad Spirit is also a grand supreme, yet the past me could crush a million of him with a single hand.”
“…I see,” Lu Yun chuckled wryly. He wouldn’t understand this kind of level before he reached it. “Are you two not going to the tomb then?”
Not just Hongjun and Fuxi, but Leize, Huaxu, Wahuang, Pangu, God, and the azure dragon ancestral god were all staying put in the Land of Reincarnation. Meanwhile, the god of Mount Tai and corpse god had left. If Lu Yun’s guess was right, they were already on their way to the empyrean supreme’s tomb.
“All of us are half crippled and thus lack the right to fight for that opportunity,” Fuxi shook his head. “And what are your plans? It doesn’t seem your style to quietly stay in one place.”
“You got it, that’s not my style,” Lu Yun nodded. “I’ve already sent people to attack the chief worlds.”
Having just taken a sip of tea, Hongjun promptly spat it back out. “Attack the chief worlds? You’ve got some nerve. You know, those high and grand supremes will come back one day.”
There were still supremes in the chief worlds, but Lu Yun was no longer afraid of them. He had one hundred million of them at his disposal, and they were a trained army! The hell was he afraid of??
He’d refined the headless supremes with his own hellfire and used the power of hell to forge them into a unified whole. Not only did that elevate them to new heights, but the origin hell benefited as well and hell dao was strengthened more than a hundred times compared to before.
The headless supremes weren’t alive—Tailong had used the spacetime tide to collect dead geniuses from various eras. In a certain regard, these one hundred million were all dead souls. Lu Yun could incorporate them into hell as his Infernum if he wanted. Tailong wouldn’t mind if he did so.
These headless supremes were a greeting gift to the young man.
Meanwhile, Lu Yun decided to raise a war in the outside realm not long after its powerhouses left. The cultivators of the chief worlds had committed endless vile acts and sowed incredible retribution. These matters would not be glossed over so easily.
Counter attacking the chief worlds was a slogan that the spirit paper eagerly reported on, and the cultivators of the Land of Reincarnation readily brought the fight to the outside realm.
