Chapter 1967 – Killing Giants

Lu Yun had long since witnessed the ambitions and resolution of peak grand supremes for himself. When faced with an incursion from the land of darkness, Yun Yi set her primary body to suppress the boundary between order and disorder. She consigned herself to lifelong torment of wishing for death, so what did sacrificing a daughter mean?

Chu Xun was very likely born for the tomb of the empyrean supreme.

Lu Yun sighed as he looked at the exquisitely formed little girl in his arms. His heart wasn’t made of stone, so while he wouldn’t purposefully ruin the plans of the peak grand supremes, he wouldn’t allow anything to take possession of Chu Xun while he looked over her.

……

Vitality swirled within the tree hole. Lu Yun was instantly invigorated and energized after setting foot inside, and his cultivation showed signs of increasing. He reflexively took a deep breath as all four hundred and eighty million of his pores opened at the same time, gulping in pure life force.

“If I trained in here, I’d make it to grand supreme in less than one hundred years,” Lu Yun gulped and sealed off his pores. He called upon the Tome of Life and Death and interrupted Chu Xun’s actions. She was imitating him and absorbing energy from the surroundings too.

The little girl looked blankly at him.

“Don’t absorb the vitality here, it’s too pure. It will increase our cultivation, but more so fatten us up.”

She shuddered.

“…fatten us up… where?” she asked quietly after a moment of thought.

“Our stomachs!” Lu Yun answered in ringing tones.

Chu Xun quickly held her breath and refrained from absorbing the life force around them.

“What do we do now?” she asked carefully.

“Find that fruit and take it with us.” Lu Yun deployed the Boundless Step and darted rapidly through the tree. He wanted to find the fruit that contained an absurd amount of vitality. What did it have to do with Chu Xun?

She’d fussed about coming here when they were still miles away; Lu Yun hadn’t detected anything out of the ordinary then. Plainly, that fruit had something to do with her. He also knew that the grand supremes at the tree wouldn’t win. Even if they did, it would be a pyrrhic victory.

Thus, he was going to destroy everything here—not for anyone else, but for himself. He wanted to make it out of the tomb alive. Having entered the tomb, he’d also become bait for the peak grand supremes—or even a living empyrean supreme. Therefore, he had to destroy everything so he could safely extract himself from the scheme.

Based off his hazy calculations, the withered wood was the key to resolving the situation. The fruit of life in the tree was the key to activating it. He couldn’t deduce the particulars of how the wood would help him, but the conclusions from formula dao were never wrong.

If formula dao gave him an erroneous answer, then all of the roads that Lu Yun had walked to arrive here were wrong, including the Tome of Life and Death. Formula dao came from the book and manifested in this part of existence through Lu Yun’s intelligence.

The Tome of Life and Death had become Lu Yun’s nascent spirit and everything from it was his too.

He frantically darted around the inside of the massive tree through the Boundless Step, not leaving behind any trace of passages. He was utilizing the death art to its utmost.

Secure in his arms, Chu Xun stared with wide open eyes. She’d never seen this kind of combat art before, not even with her parents! She felt a hint of curiosity toward the big brother whose name she didn’t know.

Rumble—

A large white bone club smashed down from the sky, almost grazing Lu Yun’s nose to land in front of him. He gasped with shock and furiously backed up. The power of order inside his body ceased operations when the club appeared, as if it’d never been present!

The power of order was a great dao of the chief worlds that he temporarily used to conceal the traces of his own immortal force and hell dao. While traveling in this realm, he operated the inner force of the chief worlds and the power of order. But that bone club sealed away order without even touching him!

“Don’t make a sound!” Lu Yun muffled Chu Xun’s mouth just as she was about to speak.

“The… the big club sealed away my inner force just now,” the girl struggled free of Lu Yun’s hand and spoke in a shaking voice.

“I know, my force was sealed away too.”

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The void shook as something seemed to split apart the incomparably durable wood around them. A giant fifteen hundred kilometers tall broke through, staring intently at Lu Yun and Chu Xun.

That also gave Lu Yun a chance to take his first clear look at a giant.

It was a male human with the same physical characteristics and proportion as regular humans. His skin was bronze colored and a piece of animal hide wrapped around his waist. Muscles rippled over his frame, full of explosive strength.

But since he was only fifteen hundred kilometers tall, he was far weaker than the one that Lu Yun had seen before. This one was… the equivalent of a high supreme.

The giant raised his club the second he saw Lu Yun and brought it down again. As the club whooshed down, Lu Yun’s inner force of order stuttered once more.

“It’s not the club, it’s his personal strength. There’s a peculiar strength inside his body that can suppress various orders, including strength derived from order.” Lu Yun frowned slightly, utilizing Boundless Step to evade the club’s swings.

The giant garbled a loud series of words in a language that Lu Yun didn’t understand.

“I can’t let him leave. If I do, the giants will hunt me down!”

Hummm!

Lu Yun flared with black light and blazing hellfire. Hell dao roared to life as well, providing a medium for the power of reincarnation in the Tome of Life and Death. He kept a firm grip on Chu Xun with one hand and formed a fist with the other, punching straight at the giant.

A black dragon clutching a dark star slammed into the giant’s chest and tore a hole through it. A massive beating heart came into sight—punctured by Lu Yun’s fist.

Black Dragon Clutches A Star!

This blow was propelled by pure reincarnation. As Lu Yun expected, the giant’s power couldn’t withstand the power of reincarnation.

“Ahhhhhh!!” the giant screamed with despair. He was only an ordinary being that didn’t know any combat arts or dao methods. Having his body and heart ruptured meant his unequivocal death.

However, there was also too much life force in the surroundings, so it took him a while to die. In fact, the omnipresent vitality was beginning to repair his broken body and heart.

“Come!” Lu Yun waved the inner world of the Tome of Life and Death into existence and collected the giant. He then vanished with another instance of the Boundless Step, fully releasing the power of reincarnation at the same time.

As he left, Lu Yun deployed Shapeshifting and Size Manipulation at the same time, turning himself into a particle of dust and disappearing in the cavernous tree.

Furious roars immediately echoed through the plant as the death of one of their own drew the attention of the other giants.
