Chapter 727: Time Domain (1/2)

Roaring and howling with disbelief, it’d never occurred to the crimson monster that Lu Yun would detonate himself on a whim! The human blew himself up so thoroughly there wasn’t even a shred of a soul fragment left behind in the dust!

……

The immortal emperor’s tomb, outside the confines of the Dao Tree.

Wu Tulong, Mo Qitiang, and Zi Chen cut a sorry figure, trapped as they were inside the world of immortals manifested by Lu Yun’s nascent spirit. However, they were slowly gaining the upper hand by coordinating their efforts. Numerous powerful combat arts sailed out in tandem, battering the image again and again. Soon, it seemed, the nascent spirit art would finally crumble.

Hum!

Lu Yun’s nascent spirit suddenly contracted on itself and dispelled the world, even as his physical self slowly coalesced into existence.

“My nascent spirit is inside hell and I’ve stored all my valuables inside the Tome of Life and Death. Even if my physical body dies, I can reforge it with the power of reincarnation. To top it off, the physical body purified by reincarnation isn’t even a new body, but my original one…  I suppose I’m as good as ‘undying’ at this stage,” Lu Yun murmured to himself as he hovered in the air.

“But that’s still no reason to be careless! There are many powerhouses out there who can attack my nascent spirit through my physical body.” He heaved a long sigh. Had he been truly caught by the crimson monsters, they could have located his nascent spirit through his body. In all likelihood, they probably had a special method that would enable them to pull his nascent spirit out of hell and trap it inside his body.

“What are you talking about? Undying?” Wu Tulong and the other two had heard every syllable he’d uttered.

They looked at him with shocked stupefaction. He’d obviously left his nascent spirit behind with them, but his physical self had also reappeared out of nowhere. Such a phenomenon defied their comprehension!

“It seems to me that you three serve neither Sword Divine nor Lu Shenhou… You tried to stop me from entering that realm so that I wouldn’t be caught by the long-haired monsters, correct? You already knew the truth of that place.” Lu Yun cocked his head and observed the three men. “Senior brothers, I can sense a power inside each of you that influences your mind. Allow me to…”

Swish!

His hand shot forward and clutched the air—a bronze spear appeared in his grasp. His nascent spirit shook inside hell and circulated a prodigious amount of immortal force within his body at great speed.

“Time Reincarnation… kill!” With another whisper, Lu Yun took careful aim and struck decisively.

“What?!” Wu Tulong and the others froze in place, caught off-guard by Lu Yun’s sudden attack, and through a dao weapon, no less!

The power of time revolved around Lu Yun and froze everything within twenty meters around him! He thrust forward three times in quick succession with the spear, each movement landing at the center of the men’s brows with pinpoint accuracy. The time domain shattered after the span of a breath, leaving a pale Lu Yun trembling and shaking.

Thud!

The young man panted heavily and took a knee.

“I can only use the time domain for the duration of a single breath, and it’s consumed all of my energy after doing so!” He’d continuously studied the two dao weapons after obtaining them, calling them the time spear and space ax. After ascending to immortality, he’d used formula dao to infer two stunning combat arts from the two weapons: Time Domain and Space Domain.

Inside the kingdom of hell, with the power of an entire world at his disposal, he could deploy these two domains at will. Time Domain, in particular, could stop and even invert the flow of time.

But outside the netherworld, he could only rely on personal reserves of energy, so his freezing of time lasted for all of one second and consumed all immortal force in the process.

“It looks like I shouldn’t rashly resort to these two combat arts before I reach the dao immortal realm.” Lu Yun took a few pills to restore some immortal force, then bounded in front of the three men.
