Chapter 746: Who Says Hes By Himself? (1/2)

The strength of a celestial emperor didn’t just mean peak origin dao—it was more so the bolstering of a heavenly mandate that defined the true supremacy of this title.

Upon becoming one with the corpse puppet, Lu Yun accessed the power of a peak origin dao immortal from the Primordial Era. An immortal of this time period could call upon the energy of the world, marking them no less mighty than what a heavenly mandate could bring to bear.

All of the world trembled the moment he revealed himself. The powerhouses rushing toward the Central World stopped in their tracks, staring at the lord of Dusk with incredulous shock.

“Peak origin dao realm! This is strength that can rival the nine celestial emperors! How is this possible, is Lu Yun a celestial emperor himself?!” shrieked a crippled dao immortal. He’d once been granted an audience with a celestial emperor and personally experienced the immeasurable influence from these august personages. It was no different from what Lu Yun emanated at the moment!

Alarm bells rang and the desire to retreat blossomed in the hearts of many experts present. After eighty thousand years, the title of “celestial emperor” had become synonymous with invincibility in the world of immortals!

No one could defy the celestial emperors. They radiated unceasing authority even when remaining motionless in place, demanding the worship of all with only their presence. Their sovereignty was absolute, and it wasn’t possible to even consider giving the slightest hint of disrespect.

And now, Lu Yun gave off the same presence as them!

“What peak origin dao realm and strength of a celestial emperor, he’s just borrowing those with a special technique!” The middle-aged nun—master of the little nun, Mo Yi’s senior sister—took a step forward and looked coldly at Lu Yun. “This one has just become an immortal and hasn’t even fully grasped the power of the immortal dao yet. Playing around with outside forces at a time like this is nothing more than a child heaving a sledgehammer. Who knows if it’s himself or others that he’ll harm in the end…”

A roar rang out before she could finish her words, and a crimson fur seal charged out of the void to pounce on Lu Yun.

The big fur seal! King of fur seals, father of Ge Yanxia, and also at peak origin dao realm. He crashed toward the Central World with unstoppable momentum. Too busy staring dumbly at his hands, Lu Yun paid no attention to him.

“It feels very different this time. The last two times, I felt boundless strength come down over me to help me struggle free of the morass and take a good look at this world. But this time…” He took a deep breath. “The strength has truly melted into my body to become my own. I am like one of the celestial emperors in these four hours at peak origin dao realm!”

The six paths of his nascent spirit circulated smoothly in hell, deploying this terrifying strength with no problem at all. Of course, it was also because Lu Yun was very familiar with this level of strength by now. When in hell, he wielded far greater power than this.

He gently reached out into the air to summon the Sugato Sword lying in the Central World. It rose with a light tremor and drifted into his hand. With his hand around the handle, the sword exploded into an infinite number of sword shadows in the air. Reaching out with his hand again, he collected the shadows into one enormous palm of sword energy.

Wham!

The palm connected solidly with the big fur seal and sent its bright-red body flying far away, a perfect target for sword energy to slice and dice into a bloody shower of gore.

Swiftly reassembling itself, the big fur seal roared and snarled, but found itself unable to break through the Sugato Sword’s defenses despite multiple charges. Its body created from the Ichor Bog was as fragile as an egg in front of it, unable to withstand a single blow.

“You may return,” sounded the demon god’s voice upon seeing his minion’s futile efforts. The big fur seal trembled and docilely landed at its master’s feet.

“Have you succeeded?” The eyelids of the representatives from the two Firmaments twitched when they saw the demon god’s new body.

“Almost.” The youth that was the demon god grinned brilliantly and lifted his head. “Such a vast and wondrous immortal dao… how perfect would it be if it could be corrupted into a demonic dao?”

Everyone shivered at this line of wishful thinking.
