Necropolis Immortal

rk-crimson fire burst forth from the Nine-Phoenix Casket.

Derision flashed through the eye before it slowly melted back into the depths of hell.
It seemed as if the darkness were its eyelids.

Neither the Infernum, Lu Yun’s envoys, or Yueshen, Ruyi, or the others noticed the exchange.

……

“Finally!” Lu Yun wiped sweat off his forehead and cracked a smile.
“That ought to do it.”

He’d settled down on an island in the imperial sea for further experimentation.
After a few days, he finally hit upon the right method.

Drawing the runes of combat art talismans onto formation stones wasn’t the way to go.
The correct way was to set up the formation with talismans.
He’d drawn thirty-six hundred and fifty Size Manipulation Talismans and used them as the eye of a formation, arranging them according to how the death art functioned.

“Let’s give it a try!” Excitement surfaced Qing Han and Su Xiaoxiao’s transformed faces.

“Shrink!” With a wave of his hand, Lu Yun activated the talisman formation.

In the blink of an eye, the island shrank from fifty kilometers wide to roughly eighty meters.

“You did it!” Qing Han’s eyes shone brightly.

“It’ll hold for about ten breaths of time!” Lu Yun stared fixedly at the talisman formation.
It shattered after ten breaths, and the island returned to its original size.

Size Manipulation could be used on inanimate items, but the death art had to be sustained by energy.
After ten breaths, the power within the talisman formation would be exhausted and the death art would dissipate.
When attached to a cultivator or an immortal, the talisman could be sustained by the individual’s inner energy, but that wasn’t the case for objects.

“Come on, let’s go to the palace!” With a wave of his hand, Lu Yun shrunk the three of them into dust particles and vanished.

Within hell, Xuanxi had drawn thirty-six thousand and five hundred Size Manipulation Talismans for Lu Yun.

“Strange, where did those three go?” A dumbfounded fish monster spirit surfaced from the water and looked around in confusion.
“Did the island get smaller just now? It’s big again….
What’s going on?”

……

The North Sea Palace was on high alert.

The great formation defending the palace was operating at full capacity, and layers of detection formations covered twenty-five hundred kilometers around the palace.
Even the smallest plankton had been driven away.

Admiral Turtle, a peerless immortal, was the only expert left holding down the fort.
It could be said that the North Sea Palace had never been so vulnerable.

Although there were millions of soldiers and officers milling around, the peerless immortals leading them were nowhere to be found.
Thus, they could no longer assemble into battle formations.

Without those battle tactics, the soldiers were as weak as a swarm of flies.
A swat would be more than enough to crush them all.
And unfortunately for them, the layers of defensive formations didn’t work at all on Lu Yun.

They were as small as particles of dust and managed to slip through the cracks of the formations and reach the palace’s front door.

North Sea, Home of Worms!

The giant plaque remained nailed to the light barrier, right over the front gates.

“Open!” Lu Yun commanded before an almost unnoticeable crack on the barrier.

Rumble.

The formation circling the palace began trembling.

“What’s going on?!” Fretfully hiding in the palace, Admiral Turtle jumped into the air with fright.
“Dammit, they’re back!”

He swiftly activated another formation as soon as the outside barrier shook and disappeared from the palace.

Back when Lu Yun had come with the troublemakers to seek revenge against Beigong Chonglou, he’d chosen not to break the barrier because he didn’t want Beigong Chonglou to escape.

Crack.

An ugly scar manifested on the barrier.
This had been the demise of two generations of dragons.
Enemies of the ancient dragon palace had one torn the formation open, leaving the giant crack, and the blackwater snakes had invaded the palace through this same crack.

“Emergency, Admiral, emergency! The formation defending the palace has been broken!”

“Admiral? Where’s the admiral?”

Chaos and panic engulfed the palace, then a familiar fragrance wove through the air and wafted into their nostrils.
Unconsciousness rippled through the crowd, resulting in everyone collapsing to the floor.

Thirty-six thousand and five hundred talismans circled the palace.

“Shrink!” Lu Yun exclaimed.

Hum.

The two hundred-fifty-kilometer-wide palace disappeared, leaving only a defensive formation guarding an empty hole.

“It’ll only hold for three breaths….” Scowling, Lu Yun walked up to the palm-sized palace and grabbed it, but it wouldn’t budge.
