Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 1869: Bloodscorch Lion

To hunt a supreme!

Lu Yun shook with excitement. Even if the beasts only had the physical strength or body of a supreme, it was still a challenge he'd yet to ever undertake.

Supremes were supremes. A sequence cultivator was no match for one as long as they didn't set foot into that level, even if they'd accessed thousands of sequence levels. Supremes were a wholly different plane of existence.

The Moran sisters had also considered hunting the supreme-level beasts, but they were caught in their struggle with the female ghost before they had time to execute the idea.

"Are you bullshitting us?" Moran Linglong looked skeptically at him. At twenty-five levels, Lu Yun was so weak that he was almost nonexistent.

"I am a cultivator!" he grumbled. "Those beasts may have the strength of a supreme, they're still a bunch of mundane animals at the end of the day. Can I really not take them down?? C'mon! Let's go find one that's separated from the pack!"

He shot into the air and out of sight.

The two sisters looked at each other.

"I think he's trying to shake us off," the taciturn Moran Linlang frowned. "After him!"

"Huh? Big sis…" Moran Linglong didn't have a chance to react before her older sister vanished before her eyes. She stomped her foot and quickly caught up to both of them.

Lu Yun was indeed entertaining the thought of shaking off the sisters and traveling the world alone, but gave up the idea after some more consideration. He'd figured out what the Myriad Spirit Grand Supreme wanted—for Lu Yun to take care of the sisters.

At the moment, he didn't know if the grand supreme was connected to the Morans or to the sisters.

"There are lions here?" He carefully landed on the peak of a large mountain and looked down at the enormous red plains beneath him. There was a giant scarlet beast that resembled a lion snoring on the ground.

Its thunderous snores indicated that it was fast asleep. But even so, nothing within one hundred kilometers dared approach it. Plainly, it was the king of this area.

The beasts of the World of Soul Dominion were different from those of the fourth realm. The primary bodies of the latter were exaggeratedly big because they used to cultivate "nothing". The more one cultivated nothing, the larger one's body grew. In the end, the ultimate consequence of growing bigger was to poof straight out of existence one day, truly becoming nothing.

It was an abnormal phenomenon that formed as a result of incomplete orders in the fourth realm. The entire land swayed on the verge of collapse, to say nothing of the cultivators.

That would never occur in the chief worlds.

Although the lion in front of Lu Yun was tremendous, it wasn't larger than life. It was roughly twenty-five hundred kilometers from head to tail and resembled a minor mountain on the plains.

"Don't provoke it!" Moran Linglong quickly called out when she saw that Lu Yun had this beast in his sights. "It's not a mundane being, it's a cultivator! It's a real supreme!"

"The Bloodscorch Lion is a true supreme who crafted its dao palace at thirty-two levels of sequence. It's the king of this part of the World of Soul Dominion," finished Moran Linlang. Both sisters arrived and stood behind Lu Yun.

While this world was a demesne full of unknown danger, a large faction such as the Morans was still relatively familiar with it. A supreme of thirty-two levels registered as a strong supreme. There was a threshold between them and those who struggled to barely ascend at thirty-one levels.

"The orders of this world are unorganized and unique, so the beasts are unable to take human form," Moran Linlang continued to explain.

Lu Yun no longer questioned why even the inhabitants of the chief worlds took human form. Thanks to initial influence from order, the evolutionary path of all things was mostly the same. Humanity was always the ultimate peak of existence.

Lu Yun created human dao in the great wilderness and helped humanity of that era become the rulers of heaven and earth. In actuality, humans would still become the conquerors of their time even if Lu Yun didn't come—thanks to the laws of evolution as set by order.

Lu Yun nodded, but kept staring at the Bloodscorch Lion.

"What is it?" Moran Linlang asked in bafflement.

"Someone else here also has their eyes on it. The lion is a true supreme, but it's currently in a very peculiar state," Lu Yun said softly. "I put down a concealment formation around us, which is why no one's discovered us despite this not being a hiding spot."

The sisters jerked with shock and quickly bent down.

"Hiding in a place not meant for hiding, you've got some guts," Moran Linglong mumbled. "And when we arrived? Did we expose ourselves then?"

Lu Yun tugged up the corners of his lips and didn't say anything.

Moran Linlang smacked her younger sister on the back with a grin. "You're covered in chaos dirt. Apart from the ghost who left a mark on us, no one will possibly discover us."

Moran Linglong stuck out her tongue.

Lu Yun had his reasons for choosing this place. Anyone who could survive in the World of Soul Dominion possessed supremely dominating abilities of survival and observation. Places that they felt ideal for inhabiting were viewed the same way by many others.

In contrast, this mountain peak was so prominent that anyone could see everything on it if they lifted their head. As such, it wasn't viewed as any place of importance. It was a subconscious oversight—the most dangerous place was the safest.

Lu Yun instantaneously built a tiny formation when he landed, enveloping everything on the mountain peak.

"Is it injured?" Moran Linglong asked carefully.

"I don't know," Lu Yun shook his head. "It was asleep when I found it. It's in a very strange state—not like one from injury."

"Possession," Moran Linlang suddenly raised. "Someone's trying to take possession of it. Supremes once projected their wills into this world and tried to possess the beasts in it. They all failed, so that's probably someone trying a new way.

"Wait, it's not a supreme. The orders of the world change when a supreme enters, making it so that everyone senses their arrival. Whoever's trying to claim this Bloodscorch Lion is a genius beneath supreme!"

"Is that possible?" Lu Yun had been concerned about this, that the supremes would use the beasts here as their carriers and enter the fourth realm.

"Uh uh," Moran Linlang shook her head. "All of the beings here belong to only this world. They disintegrate if they try to leave—the orders outside kill them."

ROAR!!

The sleeping lion opened its eyes and threw its head back, howling with fury. It opened its mouth to spew blood-red flame, sweeping the fire over a hiding spot and incinerating the cultivator there before they even had time to scream.
