In a remote corner of the chief worlds.
“Found him.” The peak grand supreme opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the tomb. “He’s in the tomb of the empyrean supreme.”
She furrowed her forehead. “Pass my orders and kill that Lu Yun at all costs. Remember, no matter the cost. I only want him dead, not alive!”
“Your Majesty… is that worth it?” A handsome youth frowned behind the peak grand supreme. He wouldn’t question the august personage at any other time, but the order of “no matter the cost” was rather frightening. It meant that if needed, the peak grand supreme would sacrifice herself to kill Lu Yun.
Was he worth that astronomical price?
“Yes!” She trembled and looked at the young man with a slightly offended look. “Tanlong, you have operated in the chief worlds for countless eons and supervised everything that takes place in this realm, but you overlooked someone as crucial as Lu Yun!
“The chief worlds are the source of all evil and all cultivators here are demons that will destroy existence itself. Lu Yun is a demon among demons! It will be our doom if he grows into his strength!
“Immortal dao! The dark empyrean supreme of our Infinite Deorc [1] coordinated with empyrean supremes of other worlds and sacrificed his life to bring it down! You let it be reborn and it is even stronger than before!” She nearly screamed at the end.
The Infinite Deorc was what the creatures of darkness called their home. Of course, those of the chief worlds much preferred calling it just the land of darkness. The current World of Immortals was weak and immortal dao not nearly as formidable as it was in the Primordial Era, but a dragonling was much more frightening than an adult wolf.
Grand Supreme Tanlong shook with horror.
The land of darkness had turned immortal dao into a trap and thoroughly lined it with mines in an era too ancient for record. They broke the path of cultivation, prevented immortal dao from cultivating heaven and earth, and planted the Dao Tree to completely cut off immortal dao at its knees.
Cultivation realms beyond immortality were also filled with traps. Whoever dared cultivate them would die before they knew it. But no one imagined that someone like Lu Yun would appear along the way!
He brought a few cultivators with him and slowly reconnected the immortal dao, starting from the path of cultivation. He even used his mighty body of heaven and earth to forcefully make it whole again!
Meanwhile, Fuxi and the others held ceremonies until the organs of the world came into being. They created them to supplement the immortal dao as well!
No one anticipated that Lu Yun would collect all of the organs in his replica and turn it into the cosmos of immortal dao.
Lu Yun’s replica also carried the will of the Tome of Life and Death. The treasure was so strong that it smoothly filled in the potholes that had been dug into the immortal dao. What was a great dao replete with devious trickery rose from the ashes like a phoenix.
Grand Supreme Tanlong was the strongest representative from the darkness in the Land of Reincarnation. Residing in the chief worlds, he was the mastermind behind everything, the hand in the shadows. Many things in the realm, such as its cultivation methods and the fixation on cultivating “nothing” were his work.
After the god of Mount Tai died, the grand supreme shattered the orders of the chief worlds with the power of disorder. If not for that, the recovering Hongjun, Pangu, and God wouldn’t have had such a difficult time of things.
However, the mystery that was the Land of Reincarnation was too encompassing. Everything repeated again and again, but it also felt removed from the chief worlds at large. Its time seem to operate on a different scale. That made it impossible for the dark grand supreme to keep a firm eye on everything.
He’d noticed Lu Yun’s appearance, but the young man rose with unimaginable speed. A few thousand years—or a few ten thousand thanks to the time boundary—was absolutely nothing. A few ten thousand years in the chief worlds wasn’t sufficient for a baby to learn how to walk.

Grand Supreme Tanlong regarded Lu Yun seriously only when the latter truly became a threat. That was when the Dark World in the Land of Reincarnation was refined into hell and became the foundation of Lu Yun’s dao.
When Qiu Feishan, the greatest powerhouse of the chief worlds, entered the Land of Reincarnation after it opened, Tanlong was even more at a loss of how he should proceed. While he’d listed Lu Yun as a threat, he didn’t place enough importance on the young man.
In his eyes, Yun Yi or some of the other peak grand supremes from the chief worlds were behind Lu Yun’s actions. The human was just a pawn, a grasshopper that would no longer hop around once the peak grand supremes were eliminated.
A quick look at NovelFull.com will leave you more fulfilled.
But now a peak grand supreme from the Infinite Deorc had listed Lu Yun as a priority target. He had to be eliminated at all costs, even if the cost was too high to pay!
“I hear and obey!” Tanlong left to make his preparations.
The peak grand supreme cast a meaningful look into the land of darkness. Killing intent appeared on her face that was the exact copy of Chu Xingran’s.
“What a pity that Lu Yun isn’t someone ruled by love. If that wasn’t the case, Chu Xingran… Even though that pawn has grown a new soul and become an individual personality, when need be…” A cold smile flashed across her lips.
……
“An unbending will,” Lu Yun sucked in a breath when he sensed the last burst of thought from the creature before it died. “I just released hellfire and permitted the will of hell to bloom here. If that peak grand supreme from the darkness is keeping tabs on me, she’ll know that I’m in the tomb.
“But she only knows that I’m here, not precisely where I am. It won’t be that easy to find me. That spirit, however… bore an unbending will even in the face of death…” He frowned.
Unbending, unyielding, preferring to die rather than surrender.
Logically speaking, only heroes carried that kind of will.
Heroes?
“That’s right, it called me a demon. The clash between order and disorder is the conflict between two civilizations. It is a monster in my eyes, but I am a demon in its eyes. It is indeed a hero to its people,” Lu Yun sighed. “All of this is out of a desire for survival. But no danger exists in our current environment and situation. Why do the chief worlds and land of darkness fight each other? For survival? Is that possible only through war and mutual slaughter?”
The chief worlds were incredibly vast and its population sparse. Its resources were unlimited and there were plenty of undeveloped worlds and untapped assets. It was nonsense to say that war raged due to a need to claim resources or take land from the darkness.
Then, from the other perspective?
Lu Yun didn’t feel that it was very likely their enemies needed to do the same, either.
He remained where he was for a very long time before he moved forward. Although there were many questions in his mind, he had no answers. As things stood, there was a blood feud between them. If only one could survive, then let the land of darkness die.
1. Deorc is Old English for darkness. This name deserved a bit more oomph. ☜
