Chapter 2001 – Breaking Creation

Chapter 2001 – Breaking Creation

The cultivators of the chief worlds quickly backed away, suddenly unwilling to get on Lu Yun’s bad side. Heavenfall in hand, the young man chased the god of Mount Tai back to the Jade Record of Creation.

“Lu Yun!!” The Disordered Empyrean Supreme surged into motion. She flashed in front of the young man and waved her long sleeves around, blocking his way.

“Huh?” Lu Yun’s eyes widened and he took half a step back, frowning at the woman. Oh, I see. She’s pretending to be weak and exhausted.

If it wasn’t for Daoist Ingress earlier, she might’ve already captured the three in the Jade Record of Creation and also Jiang Chen. She was the most frightening existence here. She was an empyrean supreme!

Daoist Ingress had relinquished his old title of empyrean supreme after his rebirth, taking the title of Daoist instead. But the Disordered Empyrean Supreme remained an empyrean supreme!

She’d never lost the strength of an empyrean supreme and her strength came from her father’s skull. The shamanic ancestor had been an absolute powerhouse with the potential to become an empyrean supreme. He’d severed that possibility for the sake of his daughter and left the opportunity to her.

He himself died during his empyrean supreme tribulation, but he’d already nurtured the relevant level of strength in his body. He would’ve been an empyrean supreme the moment the tribulation ended!

As it turned out, his head made it through the trial, making his skull that of an empyrean supreme’s.

A terrifying aura emanated from the Disordered Empyrean Supreme’s head, one that forced everyone to their knees and cower on the ground. Everyone but Lu Yun!

Empyrean supreme!

This was the true aura of an empyrean supreme!

One after another, Lu Yun’s one thousand and eighty golden armored warriors exploded and drifted to the ground as dust. Jiang Chen and the corpse god hunched in on themselves and shivered inside the Bag of Corpse Refinement. The bag itself grew smaller and smaller until it, too, floated to the ground as a speck of dust. It didn’t go unnoticed by the Disordered Empyrean Supreme, but she didn’t mind it.

“No one can save you now, Lu Yun.” A fuzzy black halo ringed her head—the strength of an empyrean supreme. “I’m not interested in the tattered hell dao on the god of Mount Tai, I want your six paths of hell.” She strode gracefully toward him with a half smile.

“And I offer you the same deal as before. Take up residence in the World of Immortals and switch to immortal dao. I’ll give you the entire realm then, much else hell dao.” Lu Yun felt a hint of pressure creep in as the enemy approached him, but he remained calm.

“You have no right to talk terms with me. I can take your hell dao from you whenever I want,” the Disordered Empyrean Supreme chuckled. “I took the god of Mount Tai for my disciple back in the day because I wanted to use him to nurture hell dao. Who would’ve thought that he’d turn out to be a heap of manure, yet perfect fertilizer for you?”

Standing atop the Jade Record of Creation, the mountain god’s expression turned stiff. At the same time, he didn’t think much of what the empyrean supreme said. He’d never viewed her as his master, just… someone to use.

It was similar to his relationship with his dao partner, Pangu, Hongjun, God and the others. They were all targets for him to use and the only opinion he held about them was whether or not they were worth anything.

He was currently caught between a rock and a hard place; the two peak grand supremes standing with him watched the empyrean supreme with guarded eyes. Thankfully, her target was Lu Yun.

……

Hummm.

A giant sword reverberation traveled through the air as four magnificent swords descended with pomp and grandeur, piercing through the void and taking a stand in the major world like four towering mountains. A young man dressed in bright red robes and a wine gourd at his waist strolled through the air, singing a cheerful song.

“Neither copper nor iron and certainly not steel, once buried beneath Mount Sumeru.

“Forged through reverse yin and yang, fire and water, what say you the might of these swords?”

His distinctive tones triggered the deepest fears in many on the scene, particularly cultivators from the Ingress Jade Heavens. Color drained from their faces as they turned as white as sheets.

The man that’d become a forgotten line in the annals of history was walking toward them. Not as a replica, not as his treasure, but the man himself.

“Ingress!” The Disordered Empyrean Supreme’s expression sank as she looked at Daoist Ingress. She wasn’t worried because she was an empyrean supreme and the other just a peak grand supreme. But his four swords gave him sufficient strength to challenge an empyrean supreme.

“What did you see earlier??” Lu Yun asked in hushed whispers as he sidled up to the man. The Disordered Empyrean Supreme perked up her ears when she heard the young man’s question.

“I forgot,” Daoist Ingress frowned. “A replica is not the primary body, after all. I might be able to uncover the truth if I hit that Jade Record of Creation one more time.”

He looked at the treasure instead of the opponent at hand. Nothing else seemed to matter. He would find out the truth if he slashed the Jade Record of Creation a second time!

“Forget it.” Lu Yun patted his shoulder and sent a clear current through the man’s body.

Daoist Ingress started, then nodded with a rueful grin. “I almost got too obsessed there. I’d die if I hacked at it again.” Only then did he turn his attention to the Disordered Empyrean Supreme.

“You want hell dao, is it? Have I given you permission to take it?” The corners of his lips turned upward.

“I am an empyrean supreme and you are a peak grand supreme. What do I need to ask you for?” she sneered back at him.

“Do you know that my sword formation once executed an empyrean supreme?” Daoist Ingress stretched out a slender, pale finger and gently flicked it in the void.

Clang!

The four enormous swords reverberated in unison.

“Alright, the rest of you blithering idiots, are you staying here to catch a show?” he chortled.

The other supremes and peak grand supremes on the scene jerked with awareness. With Daoist Ingress and the Disordered Empyrean Supreme present, as well as a Lu Yun who could summon more than one thousand peak grand supremes with a wave of his hand, they stood no chance whatsoever. The Jade Record of Creation wasn’t for the likes of them.

There were plenty of other rare treasures and priceless opportunities in the ancient burial mound. It wasn’t worth losing one’s life for a singular Jade Record of Creation. Thus, a majority of the assembly immediately turned on their heels and left.

When they did, Lu Yun noticed that some chaos dirt puppets stirred, then froze like someone had commanded them to stop. Alarm bells rang in his heart. The spirit entity controlling them hadn’t left. It’d just put on an act because it sensed danger. The chaos dirt puppets remained under its control.

Lu Yun looked at the minuscule particle that was the Bag of Corpse Refinement. Jiang Chen and the corpse god within were equally dangerous. At the very least, the treasure had survived being caught between the Bag of Corpse Refinement and Qingping Sword.

“Do you want to die again, Ingress?” the empyrean supreme sneered at Daoist Ingress. Patience began to fade from her eyes.

“Who knows who’s dying today before we go for a round?” Daoist Ingress hopped through the air and melded into the sword formation. Wind, thunder, fire, and water transformed into four rays of sword qi and ravaged the void, careening toward the Disordered Empyrean Supreme. He wasn’t going to allow her to continue talking.

Instead of becoming embroiled with the sword formation, the empyrean supreme came for Lu Yun. Her target was and had always been Lu Yun. All would be over as soon as she caught the young man and obtained his hell dao.

However, Daoist Ingress’ sword formation had enveloped the world and swallowed the empyrean supreme as soon as she shot at Lu Yun. The four towering swords rose and flew through the air, howling with the power of wind, thunder, fire, and water. The Disordered Empyrean Supreme streaked into a black blur and released devastating combat arts from her hands.

Lu Yun turned to the god of Mount Tai.

“Kill Lu Yun!” the mountain god roared and charged the young man with the other two peak grand supremes. While they weren’t fully aligned with each other, the complete hell dao on the young man was very tempting.

The features on the Master of Darkness turned crimson once more and Lu Yun threw out a large handful of soybeans right before the god of Mount Tai arrived with his men.

Boom!

Golden armored warriors descended from the sky and threw themselves at the new enemies.

“How is this possible?!” shrieked the mountain god. “Didn’t the Disordered Empyrean Supreme destroy the peak grand supreme puppets??”

They wouldn’t dare attack Lu Yun if it wasn’t for that!
