Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 2038 – A Face-Off Between Feng Shui Masters

The layout for breeding ghosts had grown so quickly that the first one it produced was a horrific ghost king. It was the reason behind the three empyrean supremes dying so suddenly.

Critically, the appearance of such a layout wasn’t by happenstance. There were experts behind the scene, similar to how Lu Yun had set up his formations to destroy Cardinal Sacred City and then used its rubble to create a new formation.

This layout was the same. Someone had calculated everything in advance and anticipated the three empyrean supremes that would destroy the layouts around the tomb. If rubble was to become a new layout, their arrangement and bearings had to be determined beforehand. That meant the mysterious mastermind had foreseen how the empyrean supremes would act and what would happen as result of their actions.

Lu Yun’s Spectral Eye could not see the ghost king, but he could sense the ghost king’s presence. It was through this entity that the young man detected the extremely well-hidden layout for breeding ghosts. Where he dug wasn’t the prime location for a thief’s tunnel, but the life point of the layout.

Uprooting it would disperse the terrible yin qi that’d gathered and naturally break the layout.

The ghost king hadn’t erupted in all out slaughter because it needed ghostly soldiers. Everyone gathered at the tomb was its potential recruits. The layout meant to breed ghosts out of living people.

“The disturbances in the tomb aren’t due to anyone’s visitation,” Lu Yun inhaled deeply and muttered. “Someone wants to use this tomb to create ghosts. Nothing changed in it from beginning to end—it was all fabricated.”

Thoughts flew rapidly through his mind as he quickly understood what was going on. An incredible disturbance had rocked the sanctuary of the Three Thousand upon his arrival. That was why the mastermind moved to create something unusual here, attracting both outsiders and locals to this spot so they could activate their plot to breed ghosts.

Cold sweat soaked Lu Yun’s collar. This meant that person knew he was behind Cardinal Sacred City’s destruction and that he’d used the rubble to form another transportation formation! He’d also known that Lu Yun would come to the tomb. With the young man’s mastery over formations and feng shui, he would certainly identify the weaknesses of this layout and know how to break it.

That person knew Lu Yun could dismantle his plans, so things weren’t as simple as they appeared. There must be something that he was overlooking.

In fact, Lu Yun suspected that if he broke this layout, it would reassemble into a new and more terrifying layout!

Fear danced in his heart for a split second, but quickly morphed into excitement. He’d yet to encounter any decent feng shui masters since leaving Earth. All of the layouts he encountered were legacies from experts past or naturally formed from heaven and earth.

He’d finally met another master! What a chance to match wits!

“Are you trying to use me as your blade so you can manifest an even stronger layout?” He looked away from the Disordered Empyrean Supreme and raised his head to regard the overcast skies.

Lu Yun dismissed the Spectral Eye and closed the Tome of Life and Death. A contest between feng shui masters had no need for external treasures. It was down to their personal knowledge and skill.

Of course, he would still use the death arts and treasure if he lost and was about to lose his life. He didn’t blindly stick to the principle of things.

The Disordered Empyrean Supreme didn’t say anything when he paused his motions; she acted just as a maid would. Three empyrean supremes had already died here and she didn’t think that she was stronger than them. The three were also from the outside, their dao unaffected by the great dao of this world. Thus, their combat arts and dao methods hovered on the bleeding edge of the times.

Her skin had crawled with fear when Lu Yun spoke of a ghost. Empyrean supremes were the strongest existences in the chief worlds and other realms. They were the absolute apex of existence, but in the Three Thousand, there were sacred supremes beyond them.

In this realm, empyrean supremes had to tuck their heads in and look meekly at the ground. All she could do now was rely on Lu Yun.

The young man was already making his move. Unaffected by his environment, he fully concentrated on the layout that he wanted to create.

The Dragonspike layout!

The Dragonsearch Invocation, Dragonshift Method, and Dragonspike Litany were the three secret arts of the Dragonquake Scripture. Dragonspike was the strongest layout within the Dragonspike Litany.

Lu Yun had set up one such spike when he visited the Exalted Immortal Sect of the world of immortals and easily destroyed the sect. He was going to set up the entire layout this time, creating something that was infinite times stronger than a singular spike.

He wasn’t going to just destroy the tomb, he wanted to destroy the layout and everything within it!

Rumble—

The Dragonshift Method and Dragonspike Litany deployed at the same time as he called upon all of the great dragons within fifteen hundred kilometers, forming a mountain in front of him. The earth shook and trembled.

“What is he doing?!” gasped the cultivators still studying how to enter the tomb. It was only a moderately sized mountain, but it exuded a presence that made them pale with horror.

“The Dragonquake Scripture!” A petrified scream rang out from Su Muzhou and his dao partner concealed in the crowd. “The Dragonquake Scripture is the ultimate treasure of the Three Thousand and few are those who have the right to practice it. How, how did a traitor like you learn it?!”

They recognized the Dragonshift Method and Dragonspike Litany as the secret arts of the Dragonquake Scripture since Su Muzhou was part of the senior council of the world. He’d once seen a sacred supreme deploy the method and deploy the great dragons of the world to kill a demon from the nothing. How was it in the hands of someone who’d betrayed the Cardinal Sacred Palace??

Greed sent their hearts racing.

The Dragonquake Scripture was a most priceless treasure of the realm and infinitely close to the core essence of great dao. No, it would be more accurate to say that it was a cultivation method that was the equivalent of the core essence of dao. It was the pinnacle accomplishment sought by innumerable cultivators of the Three Thousand!

Cultivating the Dragonquake Scripture would grant them the right to set foot outside of sanctuary and roam the vast Three Thousand!

“Give it here!” Suiyue Jinghao was the first to explode into action as a wild torrent of empyrean force blasted from his body. It coalesced into a large hand that swung down on Lu Yun.

“Away with you!!” sneered the Disordered Empyrean Supreme as she shot forward and kicked the man in the face, sending him flying.
