Chapter 903: The Yin Prince (1/2)
To make way for yin soldiers would be a phenomenon that occurred in the future after the construction of the hell of human dao. Yet, it was somehow already present in Pangu’s tomb.
“It’s not just making way for yin soldiers, but there's also akasha ghosts here… Just what is going on in this tomb?” Lu Yun remained firmly planted where he stood, coldly gazing upon the soldiers drawing closer to him.
Troops upon troops of yin soldiers were layered together. If one looked at them from a distance, they appeared to be a haze of black fog drifting through the dimness of the great palace. The closer they approached, the more he could make out an enormous wheel-less carriage in their midst. Eight supports jutted out from the sides for the bearers—the supports were completely black structures etched with bizarre looking runes.
“Who goes there and how dare you trespass in the netherworld!” A reedy voice rang out as ranks of ghostly soldiers suddenly parted to the side to fully reveal the black litter. A man with a bloodless face and dressed in long black robes stood next to it, fixing Lu Yun with a cold stare.
Lu Yun frowned slightly when he discovered that the man was a chaos realm connate demon god, and so were all of the soldiers empyrean realm masters!
“Flame Emperor of the human race,” he offered.
“What insolence! How dare a minor human proclaim themselves to be an emperor?! This is heresy! Men, capture this insufferably arrogant human!” Affront colored the man’s face and he brandished his sleeves, directing the vast army of yin soldiers to arrest Lu Yun.
“Yin soldiers? Ghostly servants?” Hellfire blazed to life in Lu Yun’s eyes and the wheel of a black sun rose behind his head. Ghastly hellfire roared to life, illuminating the dome with a black light.
The yin soldiers rushing toward him instantly disintegrated into dust when met with the fiery conflagration, a sight that sent the black-robed man into a hasty retreat for the safety of the carriage’s shadow.
Eight hulking men suddenly stepped out from behind the litter’s supports, combining efforts to raise a shadowy defense that somehow blocked Lu Yun’s fire.
Thus given a reprieve, the yin soldiers swiftly regathered beneath the shadow of the carriage and coolly stared down their interloper.
“Impertinent human, how dare you show such impudence in front of the Yin Prince! Men, give no quarter!” Expression taking a vicious turn, the black-robed man barked out new orders. Glaring flintily at Lu Yun, the eight muscular men stepped forward in unison and sent a domineering wave of air to push aside the hellfire.
“The Yin Prince?” Lu Yun took a close look at the soldiers in front of him, especially the eight brawny men who were very likely stronger than Dijiang. They all looked like humans, but there were some minute differences between them and the current human race.
Lu Yun had heard of the Yin Prince before, but he’d always thought this was just another moniker for Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak. He hadn’t thought they’d be two entirely different people!
Here was yet another impenetrably mysterious character in front of him. Lu Yun didn’t know how Tianqi would fare in the future or how strong he’d be as the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, but this Yin Prince was absolutely on Leize’s level. He was possibly even stronger than that!
After all, his eight litter bearers were stronger than Dijiang.
“Blasphemy!” Incensed by a lowly human calling their master by his title, the eight men threw themselves at Lu Yun. They were only three meters tall, but were imposingly majestic.
“So strong!” Lu Yun’s eyes widened with shock and the sun over his head plummeted downwards, hurtling at the eight men.
As Rearbow had fully undergone hellfire’s refinement, it was no longer able to assume its first and second form. It should be treated as a brand new connate treasure, but was able to release even more strength than before thanks to hellfire. It could even imbue its master with power to increase Lu Yun’s strength.
