Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 2125: Cities of The Nothing

Bam!

A massive hand descended from the sky and smashed the black armored man flat when he turned around. A ring of hazy light flashed through the air before a man and two women appeared in front of the elder.

“Don’t bother, here I am.” Lu Yun stood in front of the elder with Qing Yu’s hand in his. Qingfeng stood behind Lu Yun and Qing Yu; the elder sat on a throne. He glanced sharply at the newcomers and shot to his feet.

“So you murdered Luo’er?” The look in the old man’s eyes was vicious and cruel. He only had one son—Luo’er was the apple of his eye. He’d subdued a ghost zombie emperor who could walk through the nothing to protect his son, but Luo’er had still died to foul play!

“Yeah.” Lu Yun waved him off with a half smile. “But I didn’t kill him, just refined him. I read everything about his soul, memories, and life.” His smile deepened diabolically. “It looks like this Luo’er was your only son, Snowmountain City Lord. What a pity that he’s gone, just like that.”

City lord of Snowmountain!

Cities of the nothing!

When the world collapsed, it dissolved into endless minute worlds in the void, like stars in the night sky. Those worlds were so small that once living beings grew to a certain cultivation level, such as Supreme Immortals of Original Order, those small worlds could no longer contain their existences.

The same applied for the three Supreme Immortals of Original Order in the heavenly palace and the stronger ghost zombie emperors that Lu Yun had seen. They would never be able to verify their dao in a small world like that and become subjective existences that could affect objectivity.

And so, a crazy plan was hatched.

One, two, three… increasing numbers of powerful beings walked into the nothing and used their immense strength to turn other worlds into bricks, building cities in the nothing.

Each of these tiny worlds carrying the seeds of life was mercilessly refined into bricks to build city upon city in the nothing. The powerful beings could use these cities as a foundation to continue cultivation.

There were plenty of cities like Snowmountain within nihil, Snowmountain was just one of the smaller cities. Its city lord was the strongest of this region and the now world of immortals had been under his jurisdiction. He was responsible for killing heaven and earth and for turning the world into a brick.

Snowmountain would naturally send someone to investigate when one of their bricks went awry. Thus, the city lord’s son set off in pursuit of answers. He ran into Lu Yun as soon as he arrived and was refined in turn.

Lu Yun gained a general overview of the situation in the nothing after refining Xue Luo and brought the fight to Snowmountain. This city was a scourge of evil and the world of immortals would be constantly harassed if it wasn’t eliminated. Annihilation would only be a matter of time.

Based on the cultivation levels of immortal dao, the Snowmountain city lord was a half step immortal emperor. Since he was a hair weaker than the young man, Lu Yun decided to come knocking on his doorstep.

These bastards had the ability and strength to reshape heaven and earth, to consolidate the tiny worlds into one big world. However, doing so would consume their own energy. They didn’t need to expend any of their own resources when building cities of the nothing. Heaven and earth died in these tiny worlds because their core essence was ripped away!

One city within the nothing provided sufficient resources for these powerhouses to continue cultivating and be kings of the nothing. They felt no obligation to protect the people, everything they did was in pursuit of self interest.

If they acted on behalf of the greater good, it would be an action that neither benefited others nor helped themselves.

Lu Yun wasn’t going to ape them or permit the world of immortals to be exposed. The world of immortals could absolutely grow into a big world, one with a complete existence. If it was exposed or discovered, all of the city lords in the nothing would race for it and fight to claim it.

The young man had no interest in allowing his hard work to benefit others. So just to be safe, he had to kill the Snowmountain city lord. Not only did this city lord have to die, but all of the cities around the world of immortals had to be eliminated as well.

He would consolidate the cities for his own use and fashion them in a moat around the world of immortals. Whoever dared approach the growing world would die!

Not only did this new world of immortals carry the hopes of all life, it also nurtured his home, family, friends, and child. He’d also found a way to bring the little fox to him and would commence that shortly. As for Lu Qing, well, his son had his own fortunes. He’d grown bigger than his father, so there was no need to bring him over to be a third wheel.

Thus, Lu Yun grinned happily at the Snowmountain city lord.

“How do you want to die?” His aura built until the energy of heaven and earth burst forth. The external circulation rumbled into motion and turned all fifty thousand kilometers within him into his heaven and earth.

The city lord went slack jawed with dismay.

“The subjective affecting the objective—so you’ve already reached these heights!” He was as pale as a sheet and backed up as quickly as he could, not desiring to fight at all.

“Not yet, I’m still a tiny ways off.” Lu Yun smiled and snapped his fingers. Hellfire appeared and slowly ignited the city lord’s body. Everything within his domain fell under his purview. Whoever he wanted to die would die.

At the same time, the city lord wouldn’t take his demise lying down. He sent out his strength in a desperate final strike, fashioning it into a tidal wave that crashed down over Lu Yun. The wave undulated in all directions and crashed into his own city as well.

There was nothing alive in his city, just endless ghost zombies. Everything within the bricks was transformed into ghost zombies during the refinement process and turned into his personal troops.

Living beings? There were none in a city of the nothing apart from the city lord and their descendants. The man in a black armor from earlier was simply a puppet.

Cities of the nothing were built for the city lord’s own purposes and one at the city lord’s level was long used to loneliness. The notion of service for the greater good was an utterly foreign notion.

Lu Yun remained steadfast in the face of such domineering strength, but he was unable to fully curtail it. The strength spreading in all directions could destroy everything it touched.

This was why he’d been unwilling to fight the zombie emperors in the world of immortals. His external circulation of heaven and earth had yet to reach an omnipotent level as he wasn’t truly at the pinnacle.

But no such reservations applied in a city of the nothing. After ensuring that Qing Yu and Qingfeng were safe, he balled up his hands and smashed them into the city lord’s face..com
