The tomb of the living was originally derived from the Abyssal Hell. Thus, Lu Yun attacking it with abysmal hellfire rendered his actions completely ineffective. The power that he could borrow was far less than what was contained in the actual hell itself. Hence, he was unable to shake the tomb of the living.
This time, he used the hellâs power to assimilate the tomb. Grayish-black lava immediately covered it, and it wasnât long before the ground within the tomb of the living cracked and protruded into a volcano.
Its layout was truly destroyed only after the volcano appeared. The volcano ignited a chain reaction as zombie farm after zombie farm exploded in the Abyssal Hell, all of them turning into volcanos.
âŚâŚ
Haidong Lin and the Curse King were locked in desperate battle outside the tomb of the living. Silver zombies, gold zombies, even zombie kings appeared to surround them. Three out of Lu Yunâs four hell cannons lay in pieces; the last one also wobbled precariously.
A variety of body parts blasted apart from the cannons littered the ground, but even more zombies gathered from all directions. There was no end to them. A tall young man with a complexion as clear as jade watched the struggling Curse King and Haidong Lin with a frosty look.
âMazu has been dead for a very long time, so who wouldâve thought that her heir would appear here? Fascinating, how very fascinating,â the young man remarked as he studied Haidong Linâs continued deployment of Ruina Myriad Sea and how the man used his energy.
âJiang Kui, youâre just a tiny ant in front of a great god like Mazu. Look at you lording over us like youâre actually something!â jeered the Curse King. He was hiding within the last hell cannon and adjusting his condition, secretly casting curses and calling upon power that belonged to only Chu Xingran.
âLong time no see, Chu Xingran. How goes your trials in the Land of Reincarnation?â The young man called Jiang Kui smirked at the Curse King. âThe Dafeng miss misses you terribly and wonât marry anyone but you. But what Iâd really like to know is, are you a man or a woman?â Snorting, he looked the Curse King up and down.
The Curse Kingâs face darkened and he responded with nothing apart from a cold sniff. Jiang Kui was too strongâheâd single handedly destroyed one of the hell cannons. But after witnessing the cannonsâ might, he didnât dare try anything else afterward.
âIt has nothing to do with you whether Iâm a man or a woman,â the Curse King ground his teeth. âI just hadnât thought that Jiang Kui of the renowned Rising Sunriver nation would debase himself to fraternize with the notorious Corpse Refiners. Arenât you afraid of bringing disaster down on Rising Sunriver?â
âHahahaha!â Jiang Kui laughed dismissively. âIf I obtain that world of sequence and refine it for our purposes, no one will say a thing even if I join the Corpse Refiners!
âAs for you, Iâm going to strip you naked when I capture you and hang you on your capitalâs gates. Iâll let all of your citizens observe whether their crown prince is actually a princess, hahaha!!â
Rumbleâ
The tomb beneath their feet suddenly swelled up into a volcano. Gray abyssal lava erupted and destroyed the tomb of the living in the blink of an eye. The entire Abyssal Hell began to shake afterward as all of the zombie farms exploded in quick succession, obliterating the countless zombies in the depths.
âNO!!â Jiang Kui shrieked, at a complete loss. Why was this happening?! Why had a perfectly fine tomb of the living, busy nurturing a zombie king, turned into a volcano? It was the source of the Corpse Refinersâ zombie farmsâif it was no more, then the layout of the zombie farms would also be destroyed!
Early on, Lu Yun made sure to first move away the layout that turned the Abyssal Hell into a tomb. The main tomb was no longer the tomb of the living, but Mount Tai at the core of the hell. Thus, the Abyssal Tomb remained completely fine despite the destruction of the tomb of the living and zombie farms.
Jiang Kui looked around wildly, unable to comprehend the scene. The Corpse Refiners had sacrificed countless lives and invested unfathomable effort to evade the public eye, establish the zombie farms, and set up a tomb of the living to nurture a zombie king.
Someone had just ruined all of that!
âDIE!!â He snarled and charged a shadow that darted out of the tomb of the living.
Lu Yun was well aware of Jiang Kuiâs presence and immediately punched out at him. Having eliminated the tomb of the living and defused the zombie farms, his control over the Abyssal Hell deepened by another factor. He could borrow more strength; this punch was a combat art of the Abyssal Hell DaoâAbyssal Punch.
Boom!
A mushroom cloud rose into the air as both combatants flew backward. Blazing hellfire formed a barrier in front of Lu Yun to disperse the terrible impact. However, the remaining hell cannon wasnât as lucky.
The Curse King and Haidong Lin hastily fled for their lives while zombies scurried in disarray. Lava giants stood up from the gray lava and thundered toward the zombie hordes.
âSo youâre the heir to the god of Mount Tai!â Jiang Kui thought heâd grasped the truth upon seeing the lava giants. It was the same assumption that Jiangchen Ge had made.
Lu Yun spun around in the air and landed in front of Jiang Kui. Gray abyssal hellfire burned over him and created a gray plume that wrapped around the young man.
âWho is this guy?â He turned to the Curse King.
âJiang Kui, greatest genius of Rising Sunriver. Fifteenth level wood sequence expert, he seems to have joined the Corpse Refiners as one of their disciples,â the Curse King answered subconsciously.
âHeh heh heh, well well, Chu Xingran. Here I was thinking youâd achieve something great in the Land of Reincarnation, but you take orders from a native?â Jiang Kui snorted with laughter.
âA native? Didnât you just say that Iâm the heir to the god of Mount Tai? How did I turn into a native?â Lu Yun grinned back at him.
âThe god of Mount Tai is a native in this Land of Reincarnation,â the Curse King said quietly.
Lu Yun frowned.
âThe god of Mount Tai was the strongest in this land and its master before it became the Land of Reincarnation. The cycles didnât start repeating until he was killed,â the Curse King explained.
