Chapter 349: Might of the Black Emperor (2/2)

Bam!

The world fell silent.

“Fucking shit, this again?!” Deep within the dragon tomb, Beigong Xuan caterwauled with fury.

……

“A, a weapon of war!!” someone screamed in terror. Lu Yun carried a weapon of war on him!

Didn’t those things need to be connected to an underground vein, and weren’t they immobile?! Why did Lu Yun have a weapon of war as part of his personal possessions?!

Everyone turned to him with dread. That one shot had been enough to kill an arcane dao immortal!

The peak aether dao immortal Beigong Xuan had possessed had evaporated under the attack and entered hell as Lu Yun’s Infernum. Even Donglin Biying, who’d been standing nearby, had suffered the same fate as well. The small crack they’d been blocking was now a giant hole three hundred meters across.

Situ Zong gaped, at a loss for words. Now he understood why Lu Yun and Qing Han had dared venture into the skydragon tomb on their own. The weapon of war alone was enough to kill anyone and anything!

“Alright,” Lu Yun said casually. “The opening’s big enough now, everyone may come and go freely. I’m not going to charge you anything.”

He flashed a warm smile—at least, he thought it was warm, but to others, it looked like the leer of a devil.

A heartbeat later, Lu Yun realized with resignation that he hadn’t gained any goodwill from the immortals around him. Clearly, he’d scared them out of their wits with that demonstration, and they scattered immediately.

Lu Yun rubbed his nose. “Am I really that scary?”

Situ Zong nodded blankly, not yet recovered from the shock.

“Not scary,” Qing Han responded with utmost seriousness, “but mighty!”

“Yes, the young lord is mighty!” Situ Yun agreed, excitement dancing across his face. Only someone who could kill dao immortals without any hesitation could be the young lord of the Star Demon Sect!

“Mm, yes, well said!” Lu Yun sent the Black Emperor back into hell.

“Young lord...” Situ Zong spoke up. “The weapon of war should be your secret weapon. Now it’s known to the world...”

“It’s what I used to destroy Beigong Xuan’s replica,” Lu Yun shook his head and continued, “so he knew about it already. I can at least get the most out of it by using it again. After all, I have you. Don’t use the Pelagic Orb without a good reason, it’s our real secret weapon!”

Situ Zong was momentarily overwhelmed, but then his expression froze. After a moment’s thought, Lu Yun had taken the Black Emperor out again and rested it on Situ Zong’s shoulder. The unwitting weapons bearer staggered and almost toppled to the ground.

“Keep this with you,” Lu Yun said gravely, “and no one will come after us.”

“So heavy...” Situ Zong agreed with a wry smile. The weapon really was too heavy. If his cultivation hadn’t reached peak aether dao immortal realm, he wouldn’t have been able to carry it.

Of course, Lu Yun didn’t think the Pelagic Orb would be able to kill Beigong Xuan either. The Black Emperor was still his real trump card. The last attack had only burned three billion immortal crystals, but its maximum capacity was ten billion!
