Chapter 552.2: Primordial Heavenly Army (1/2)

“Whoever doesn’t want to stay… can piss off.” Lu Yun swept the monsters that were still in their true forms with an icy gaze.

They swallowed their objections back into their throats. They were guests in another’s house and it was only natural that they would have to bend their heads.

“Shrink down as much as you can, turn into human form if you need to!” Situ Zong demanded. “Don’t you see that the barrier is stronger when it contracts? Out of everyone here, you’re the ones wasting the most space!”

“You!” A thirty-meter-tall woolly mammoth glared at him.

“Sect Head, why don’t you toss the rest of these animals out, too?” Situ Zong turned to Lu Yun.

Terrified by the prospect, the monster immortals instantly shrank to approximately human size, enabling the Divine Glory’s barrier to contract smaller still, strengthening itself in the process.

“Let us fight, milord!” Noticing that Lu Yun had ignored their earlier request, Beigong Yu and the Scaled-Dragon King stepped forward again.

Lu Yun turned toward them. “Do you know who these corpse divines are?” he asked calmly.

The two monster kings were stunned by the question. What did it matter who their enemies were?

“They… are the primordial immortal court’s heavenly soldiers.” Lu Yun cast his gaze over the tide of corpse divines. Their armor was cracked and their weapons were rusted, but their motions still exemplified the glory of their bygone era. “If Kui can be resurrected… the same is true for them!”

This army should’ve died in battle, or fallen to the calamity that had destroyed their era, not go out with a muffled whimper in the darkness to satisfy the needs of an intangible fortune. This wasn’t the fate they deserved. These soldiers’ lingering obsession most likely lay on the battlefield, protecting the last hopes of the immortal court.

“Get on!” Lu Yun bellowed.

The giant fortress ship expanded to twice its size at six hundred meters long, delighting the surrounding immortals. They stood up and clambered aboard as quickly as they could.

Rumble...

Black and white burst forth with blinding brilliance upon the ship’s deck. Lu Yun was employing the Yin Yang Formation Orb from his position at the ship’s bow.

……

“Lu Yun is right in front of us!” A number of immortals looked at the young man’s back with wavering uncertainty.

A puny cultivator will surely die under my full power, even if he is void realm! A peak aether dao immortal swallowed hard, suppressing his temptations as best he could. If I kill Lu Yun, I’ll be able to take the fortress ship for myself. That connate treasure will also be mine! He approached Lu Yun with slow, deliberate steps.

“Hmph!” A frigid snort demolished his plans.

The aether dao immortal stumbled back several steps as a lean, white-haired man in black robes appeared suddenly before him. Though he was only a peerless immortal, his aura was deeper and more foreboding than even the Scaled-Dragon King and Beigong Yu’s. His gaze was as sharp as physical blades as it pierced into the aether dao immortal’s own.

“Aieee!” the immortal howled in pain as blood streamed out of his eyes.

“A divine!” Many immortals colored at the sight of the white-haired man. Divines were the public enemies of the entire world, but no one dared make the first move on him.

“Forget it, Tianhuang,” Lu Yun shook his head.
