Chapter 749: Holy King Atrophy (1/2)

Thirty-six bean soldiers with cultivation matching Lu Yun’s hovered before him to form a protective wall. Shocked awe stole throughout the world, and fighting on the premises petered out as everyone gaped at the thirty-six peak origin dao warriors. They rivalled peak origin dao immortals from the Primordial Era!

Though the warriors remained unmoving, no one dared twitch a muscle. The level of strength on display was sheer intimidation! Even though some of the attackers exceeded the origin dao realm and were well into the ingress realm, they were still too unnerved to do anything.

“Do you all plan on staying here and killing me after four hours, or do I take care of the problem now and kill all of you first?” A flinty look hardened Lu Yun’s eyes. His primary body flew over and cast out another thirty-six sparkling soybeans, summoning thirty-six more warriors as powerful as he was!

Seventy-two peak origin dao immortals graced the scene!!

“Grrrrauuuuugh!” roared one of the bean soldiers.

“Grrrrauuuuugh!!” The remaining seventy-one warriors followed suit, voices rippling out as shockwaves in all directions and roars echoing throughout all of Nephrite Major.

Immortal dao itself shuddered, and all living souls bowed down in submission. Lesser immortals in the vicinity were knocked unconscious, and crippled origin dao immortals fled after crying out in pain.

“We leave!!” No one dared linger now that things had developed to this point. It was a very real concern that Lu Yun might slaughter them all in a sudden fit of impulse.

Representatives of the Purple and Green Firmaments cowered before the Sugato Sword, while the two scarlet apes hadn’t been able to overcome Lu Yun. With seventy-two more peak origin dao immortals added to the mix, no one in their right mind would stick around. They summoned the monster spirits under their command and left Nephrite Major without pause.

Raising a cupped fist salute at Lu Yun, the master of Ingress Island and head of the Dark North Sword Sect took their leave as well. The various emperors of the majors and lands had scattered long ago.

Qi Hai was left alone in the air, looking utterly lost and helpless. He pored over the different eras his many reincarnations had lived through, but came up empty handed for a powerful immortal who possessed such a summoning method. Not even Violetgrave was able to instantly summon individuals with the same level of strength as her!

“Don’t bother wondering about it, I haven’t obtained anyone’s legacy.” Lu Yun looked indifferently at Qi Hai. “As the world progresses, so do her combat arts and cultivation methods. The legacies of the past are ones of decay and corruption. The present will always triumph over the past!”

His death arts originated from no one. They were the accumulation of the collective intelligence of all beings as manifested by the Tome of Life and Death.

“You will now take your Destiny City and leave Nephrite Major,” Lu Yun boomed. “Go to the outer realm or the four seas. Ignore me and watch the last capital of the human race become history.

“Don’t even think about using the former Nephrite celestial emperor to guilt trip me,” he added. “I owe him a great deal, but he has nothing to do with you. If he were here, he would’ve arrived at this decision even faster.

“Out!!” His powerful utterance shook Qi Hai like it came from the great dao.

“We go!” Chest heaving, Qi Hai glanced below at Destiny City. His junior brother wasn’t as emotionally affected as he was. It didn’t matter where the city stood; what mattered was that it did.

Destiny City held its own reincarnation cycle. As long as it stood, all humans who had ever been a resident of the city would end up back here no matter where they were born.
