Chapter 1868: Hunting Supremes

“Oi oi oi, you go too far!” Moran Linglong grumbled when she saw Lu Yun suddenly break through. In her eyes, the jerk was amused by their story of hardship and had ascended out of sheer schadenfreude.

In other words, Moran Linglong thought that Lu Yun’s newest level of sequence was his way of jeering at them. Seeing a lofty Moran princess meet with misfortune and having to paw through animal food scraps… he’d been so delighted that his mind cleared for a breakthrough!

“What sequence have you accessed?” Moran Linlang didn’t share her younger sister’s sentiment. Instead, she frowned at the light that flashed past Lu Yun’s head.

“Immortal dao,” he answered candidly.

“I see,” she nodded without further questioning. On the other hand, Moran Linglong pouted with distaste.

“We’ve long since heard that the Myriad Spirit Grand Supreme has unspeakable dealings with the Land of Reincarnation, that he thinks the rest of us are fools. So he really does think we’re all fools! He’s having his disciples cultivate immortal dao!”

Lu Yun looked blankly at Moran Linglong and stammered, “Even… even you can tell?”

“Pfft, I’m not the only one. Everyone can tell.” The girl shrugged. “If it wasn’t for him being one of the strongest grand supremes, he and the Firstspirit Grand Supreme would’ve been excised a long time ago.”

Lu Yun suddenly understood why the Corpse Refiners had never entered the Land of Reincarnation ever again. They didn’t manage to slip in even during the six hundred year war between New Nihil Homeland and Nihil Homeland—likely because someone had kept them out.

Their disciple, Jiang Kui, publicly humiliated the Myriad Spirit Grand Supreme. How would the supreme possibly let that go? In fact, those seeking to curry favor with the grand supreme would do the work without his say so, despite knowing that he was involved with the land.

In the chief worlds, adequate strength was sufficient to ensure the completion of all hidden and overt conspiracies. Strength spoke the loudest, so while some had seen through the grand supreme’s relationship with the Land of Reincarnation and perhaps even knew that he’d helped Lu Yun a few times, they had to pretend otherwise.

They had to pretend that they were big enough fools.

He was one of the strongest grand supremes, and he had the additional support of his younger sister. They might have dao partners or relatives to consider as well. It made for a terrifying combination, so while other grand supremes saw through the duo’s maneuvers, they said nothing.

“Don’t worry, we won’t make things difficult for you,” Moran Linglong chuckled. “We can also tell what the Myriad Spirit Grand Supreme is trying to do. He wants that world of sequence too. He might not have a use for it, but his disciples and descendants do.”

Lu Yun nodded wordlessly.

“The ghost is here again.” He suddenly looked to the side. A ghastly white figure stood several meters away from them and had been there for a while.

Moran Linglong and Moran Linlang paled, immediately materializing talismans that Lu Yun had created.

“Give me the core that belongs to me and I will trouble you no longer.” Somehow, the ghost’s voice also sounded… ghastly white. She wasn’t a living person who’d turned into a ghost through cultivating ghost dao, but had turned into a ghost in death and then set foot on ghost dao. “I have three hundred and sixty-four cores. I can leave with one more. That core belongs to me.”

“What, it belongs to you just because you say so?” Moran Linglong shouted. “It’s survival of the fittest in the World of Soul Dominion. It’s ours because we hold it!”

Everything had to be contested in this world because cracks would appear in the dao heart if one gave way. Giving way once would lead to a second time, then a third… each time brought one closer to death.

Two gouts of black ghostly fire rose in Lu Yun’s eyes as he went on the alert. It was the strength of hell. The ghost cast a shocked glance at him before leaving with a nod. The power of hell was what could truly keep ghosts in check. Although the ghost couldn’t locate the existence of hell, the terrifying aura still induced her to retreat.

Lu Yun had previously fallen into a hole of his own making, subconsciously thinking that he had to use only his own strength and knowledge to overcome all obstacles. But moments ago, he realized that survival was attainable by any means.

“Be careful of a trap,” Moran Linlang warned.

“She won’t be coming around anymore. If she does, I’ll kill her.” Lu Yun waved her concern off. “Let’s go and find those herbivore supremes. I’ve yet to try the meat of a supreme.”

“Huh?” Moran Linglong thought she’d heard wrong. She dug around in her ear and asked uncertainly, “You want to collect the corpses left behind by the carnivores and cook them?”

Lu Yun’s face darkened.

“There’s nothing embarrassing about that, big sis and I have both tried them. To be honest, they taste pretty good,” Moran Linglong said with pride. Meanwhile, a hint of killing intent appeared in Moran Linlang’s eyes. The situation had turned awkward and there was no easy way to salvage her dignity.

“We’re going to hunt supremes!” Lu Yun shook his head. “I’ve been observing them and notice that they only have the strength and physical body of a supreme. That means we stand a chance!”

He suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility. The herbivores didn’t have dao palaces, but their movement and strength were on par with a supreme’s. If a supreme’s projection of their will attached themselves to these animals and entered the fourth realm that way…

Lu Yun couldn’t help a tremble. Let’s hope these beasts never leave this world.

“How do we hunt a supreme?” The sisters perked up at Lu Yun’s suggestion. They’d come across a beast that’d gotten lost from its herd before and almost killed it. But failing to deliver the final blow, it ran off, despite being heavily injured.

“Not the herbivores, they travel in a herd. It’s easier to ascend to heaven than it is to kill them,” Lu Yun stroked his chin.

“It’s not hard to ascend to heaven,” Moran Linglong mumbled.

“You’re being contrary just for the heck of it,” Lu Yun rolled his eyes at her. “Let’s go hunt a carnivore. Although they travel in packs, some of them travel alone!”

“Aren’t they more dangerous?” Moran Linlang frowned.

Lu Yun shook his head. “In my view, the amount of destruction caused by the herbivores and carnivores are the same. The carnivore’s offensive capabilities are applicable to the native life forms of this world—their ecosystem and food chain.”

He shifted uncomfortably when he said the word “native”.

“To us, there is no difference between the claws of the carnivores and the stampeding destruction of the herbivores. If we can handle the latter, then we can take down the former even if they’re supremes!”

The candidates were entities outside of the world’s ecosystem. They were an invading species, so although they were weak, they didn’t have enemies.
