Chapter 1701: A Giant of Abyssal Lava
“Eh, wait, that’s just a battle zombie! There’s no point in capturing him!” Lu Yun’s jaw dropped when he saw the Curse King fling himself wildly at the red-furred zombie. Why was his reaction so big? Simply because the other had called out his name? Or did the Curse King have a way of retaining the thoughts inhabiting the zombie?
“Well, no matter what, a lot of problems really will be resolved if we take this fellow alive!” Lu Yun beckoned, making the lava pool beneath his feet shake and tremble. A mammoth being stood up from it—a lava giant made from the Abyssal Hell’s gray lava!
It was five thousand kilometers tall and smashed through the zombie farm’s power as soon as it appeared. Deep fear and dread flashed through the red-furred zombie’s eyes when the giant manifested. This was what the god of Mount Tai had once been capable of!
The lava giant was one of the guards of the five hells, and it happened to be the bane of the Corpse Refiners!
“ROAR!!” The giant threw its head back and reached out for the red-furred zombie. The zombie shrieked with horror and the Corpse Refiner disciple’s mind instantly disengaged from it.
KABOOM!
The red-furred zombie exploded in midair.
Lu Yun landed on the giant’s head and contemplated where the zombie had self detonated.
“Chu Xingran?” He looked at the Curse King, who snorted and didn’t respond. “So are you a man or a woman?” he followed up curiously.
“What!” The Curse King glared ferociously at Lu Yun and yelled at him, “The Corpse Refiners have detected us, but this is what you’re concerned about?!”
“I’m just saying,” Lu Yun responded sheepishly.
The Curse King ignored him again. Though Lu Yun had destroyed this zombie farm with his abyssal lava, who knew how many farms existed in the endless Abyssal Hell? Most importantly was that after all these years, the sect must’ve discovered some methods to contain abyssal hellfire. If they’d had time to make any preparations, Lu Yun’s giant might not have razed this area.
Lu Yun, however, wasn’t worried. The tomb owner had enhanced his immortal force and physical strength; he could wield more of the hell’s power now. His rate of refining the Abyssal Hell was also increasing. If he gained control over it, he would be able to combine the yin and yang tombs and also control the yang tomb.
Although the yang tomb was purely manifested out of the Abyssal Tomb’s layout, it would also become part of the Abyssal Hell if it was combined with the yin tomb and be placed under Lu Yun’s jurisdiction. Right now, he was more curious about the Curse King.
He needed to find the Curse King’s weakness and attack him through that point. When it came to gender, it would seem that his long-time rival was particularly sensitive about that topic.
“Stop arguing, we’re not done here,” Haidong Lin quickly said when he saw the two. “There’s still a tomb of the living. If we don’t go now, the Corpse Refiners will probably realize that something’s off.”
“Not going!” Lu Yun and the Curse King said at the same time.
“Our most pressing matter is to eradicate all of the zombie farms. We can’t travel between the yin and yang tombs, but the zombies can!” Lu Yun said solemnly. “The zombie farms are just to breed zombies. We saw green-furred zombies earlier—those are only the most basic zombies from the farms. The red-furred one was one step up, but there’s stronger ones here!
“These zombies are likely the Corpse Refiners’ reserve troops that they’ll use to take the world of sequence and the other three hells.”
The Corpse Refiners were present in the Abyssal Hell because many personages from the outside world weren’t willing to enter this part of the Land of Reincarnation. That gave them plenty of space to lay their own plans.
The other three hells, however, were likely in the outside world. Only a quarter of the world of sequence that was coming to fruition was located in the Land of Reincarnation. Lu Yun wanted it too—he wanted to create a world of immortal dao sequence from it. Even if he couldn’t, he wanted to at least establish one of hell dao sequence. No matter what, he wanted a place at the table.
Allowing the Corpse Refiners to create endless battle zombies ran contrary to his aims.
The power of the Abyssal Hell could constrain zombies for now, but Lu Yun didn’t think the same applied to the Corpse Refiners since they’d been here for countless eons. They were changing and evolving all the same, wanting to shake off the Abyssal Hell’s restraints.
“We can’t let them succeed, or this really will become Corpse Refiner territory.” The Curse King set his jaw and looked in another direction. “I know there’s another zombie farm that way, it’s the one I ran into first. The zombies there are more terrifying than the red-furred zombie!”
“Let’s go!” Lu Yun didn’t want to waste any more time. The number of battle zombies increased at every second and some of them were even breaking through.
The Gates of the Abyss opened and shut once more.
One zombie farm turned into a pool of lava, devouring countless zombies. The lava giant also destroyed its layout. A second farm, a third, a fourth…
Even Lu Yun didn’t know how many farms he destroyed. As they traveled through the Abyssal Hell, despair crept into his heart. The hell was too big and there were too many farms!
“The tomb of the living is the root!” Lu Yun changed his mind. “It’s the source of all the zombie farms. If we don’t destroy it, these farms can just regenerate! Let’s go to the tomb!”
“Alright!” The Curse King teetered on the edge of a mental breakdown as well. Although it was Lu Yun destroying the farms, he was in a constant state of high alert. It was incredibly exhausting to be so hyper vigilant at every second.
With another open and close of the Gates of the Abyss, the tomb of the living appeared before them. This was the only place in the Abyssal Hell that had light. A lush world of mountains and rivers was present within, and Lu Yun’s mirror layout had created a corpse inside.
“Isn’t this where the yin and yang tombs intersect?” Haidong Lin asked with surprise.
“No,” Lu Yun shook his head. “It should’ve been, but the fundamental reason behind this great tomb is the world of order, so the world is where yin and yang intersect. If not, the Corpse Refiners wouldn’t have dared do all this here.”
