Chapter 1113: I Want the Blood Sea (1/2)

They were naturally beyond grateful to Lu Yun. If not for him, the two would’ve also been killed by others before the Tomb of Heaven and Earth opened. And now, their new titles were Holy King Merefrost and Holy King Dawnruin!

They were the fifth and sixth holy kings of the underworld!

The heritage of the underworld descended upon them the moment they set foot onto this charred land. Their cultivation rolled back from chaos realm all the way to peak fifth level mortal realm—the equivalent of human king in the Primeval Era. However, they were able to deploy far greater strength than that when they were in the underworld.

The zombie hordes that followed them out of the tomb turned into the living dead and mausoleum keepers through the underworld’s power. They were creatures without a past, just the present. Safeguarding this mysterious land was their eternal mission.

So this is where mausoleum keepers and holy kings of the underworld come from, Lu Yun thought. They were natives of the tombs resting in the underworld.

Apart from that, sometimes the holy kings entered the world to entice those with great potential to join the underworld. Ling Weiyang, for instance, had been hauled here after his death. So had the previous Xing Chen and current Violetshade been lured here from the realms.

……

“I want the Blood Sea!” Lu Yun suddenly said. “The Blood Sea is in the Tomb of Heaven and Earth. Help me relocate it to hell.”

He no longer focused on matters between the tomb and the underworld, what he and Qing Yu were here for was most important!

“You want the Blood Sea?” The six holy kings looked at each other.

“I’m afraid that won’t be possible, the implications of the Blood Sea are too great. No one will be able to save you if you dare make any designs on it. Certain death will come for you!” As the strongest and longest veteran of the group, Holy King Desolation knew a few more secrets than the others.

“…does the Blood Sea have something to do with the Hadal Hell?” Lu Yun tried to make whatever connections he could.

“Lu Yun, I’ll be honest with you,” sighed Desolation when he heard Lu Yun mention the Hadal Hell. “Your current worlds will become the next great tomb to take up residence in the underworld!”

“What?!” Lu Yun and Qing Yu looked at each other, and even the little fox jumped out with her fur bristling.

“Any world born in the chaos, whether large or small, strong or weak, can grow to swallow all of the chaos if its core essence is strong enough. It can extend to the Hongmeng and even the fourth realm as the most unparalleled of existences.

“Those that are too weak, born lacking, or have shaky foundations will destruct on their own at a certain size. No one else needs to scheme against it for that to happen.

“Other than what is known as the mythological realm, worlds with strong foundations include only yours,” explained Holy King Desolation.

“To be frank, any other realm would’ve been destroyed ten thousand times over by the machinations of the former nine sacred lands, but they keep meeting with failure when it comes to yours. This is because not only is there a strong guardian in your realm, but that the realm’s core essence is strong enough!”

A strong guardian… in other words, Leize, Huaxu, Fuxi, and Wahuang. This family was a crucial component as to why the nine sacred lands hadn’t been able to destroy the worlds in all this time, as was Lu Yun’s unexpected appearance.
