Chapter 1694: The True World of Sequence

“Do you take me for a dead man?!” An irate Haidong Lin kicked the Curse King away with a jump kick.

Caught off guard, the Curse King flew out a long distance before crashing to the ground. He rubbed his bottom and grumbled, “Sea Lord, Lu Yun is our mutual enemy. If we kill him now, the world of sequence is as good as ours!”

Haidong Lin side-eyed the Curse King and didn’t respond.

Lu Yun sprawled on the ground like a puddle of mud, unable to even twitch his fingers. Borrowing the strength of the entire Abyssal Hell had been too much for him. If the Time Guard hadn’t submitted and entered the hell when she did, the likely outcome would’ve been both of them going down together in a blaze of glory.

The Sea Lord sat down in front of Lu Yun—not to help the young man recover. Everything was up to himself.

The Curse King remained on the premises, staring fixedly at the young man. A longsword appeared in his hand and he continuously waved it at Lu Yun, pantomiming various attacks. He seemed to be experimenting on where to set his blade so Lu Yun would instantly die from one stroke.

The young man recovered his ability to move after an indeterminate period of time. He sighed gently and sat back up.

“Well? Not so bad having a burden like me along, is it?” Haidong Lin had taken his earlier words to heart.

“He doesn’t dare kill me,” Lu Yun harrumphed. “If he did, you wouldn’t be able to stop him.”

“So you’re not that dumb.” The Curse King put his longsword away.

Immensely irritated, Haidong Lin whipped his head to the side and ignored Lu Yun.

“How about we make a deal?” Smiling merrily, the Curse King approached the two.

“A deal?” Lu Yun snorted. “While you and I don’t exactly have a blood feud, one of us will definitely be the death of the other. Make a deal with you? Do I look like I want to dance with the devil?”

Although many causes had culminated in the destruction of the original Hongmeng, the Curse King was the most direct reason.

“What is this talk of death?” The Curse King remained smiling in a friendly manner. “You heard the Time Guard as well, the tree god destroyed its own form and left behind this tiny bit of withered wood all for you. So this means—“

“Enough!” Lu Yun interrupted. He didn’t want to engage the Curse King in further conversation.

The Curse King didn’t dare kill Lu Yun because the latter possessed the withered wood burning with hellfire. If he tried to kill the young man, Lu Yun would simply ignite the withered wood and go down in a fiery blaze of mutual destruction.

Plus, the little bastard might not even die after all that.

“Are you not going to listen to me first?” the Curse King nattered on. “How about I have the Ghost Bat King retreat if you take me into the Abyssal Hell?”

Lu Yun raised a mental eyebrow.

“And the darkness around Mount Astronomia?” he asked.

“I can’t direct the darkness, but I can have the Ghost Bat King retreat and the darkness stay behind,” the Curse King shook his head.

“It doesn’t matter whether or not the Ghost Bat King retreats,” Lu Yun shrugged. “It doesn’t dare invade while my son is there.”

The Curse King stared intently at Lu Yun for a while before continuing, “Are you waiting to discuss terms?”

“Nah,” Lu Yun shook his head. “I just don’t want to help you.”

The Curse King wants to go to the Abyssal Hell!

Then there must be something very special about it. When he borrowed the hell’s power, Lu Yun discovered that it was an empty shell, that there was another existence inside. When he tried to probe its depths, a frisson of excitement had moved his heart. It appeared that something he desperately desired was in the depths of the abyss.

He deployed formula dao again and again, but couldn’t determine what it was. However, that didn’t dissuade him from wanting to enter the abyss and obtain whatever was there to be found. Thus, he would never agree to bringing the Curse King in. That would be warming a snake with his own embrace.

“How about I dissolve all of my plans in the world of immortals and Hongmeng if you take me into the abyss?” The Curse King set his jaw. “You should know that I have more than one curse set up in the world of immortals. If they take effect, I’ll blow the world to pieces!”

Lu Yun’s expression shifted slightly.

“Heh heh heh, as strong as you are now, you are still a denizen of this part of existence. My methods have long superseded this patch of existence, so you’ll never be able to see the extent of my abilities if you use the orders and great daos of this world!” the Curse King recounted with great self satisfaction.

“Since your abilities are so grand, then you enter the abyss yourself. You don’t need me.” Lu Yun curled his lip and stood up. “Come on, let’s take a look in the abyss.”

Haidong Lin quickly got to his feet and stayed close behind the young man. The two disappeared from view at the same time, leaving a slack-jawed Curse King behind. He hadn’t thought that Lu Yun would turn him down!

“Damn it, he cultivated the mistress’ method of three lives. His future self traveled through the worlds and even visited the other reincarnation cycles. He already knows all of my plots in the world of immortals!” He suddenly smacked his forehead and paced with irritation.

Lu Yun’s future self hadn’t been able to peer into many secrets in the thirty-three loops because they’d all been too big for him. But everything about the world of immortals was laid bare to his eyes, including everything the Curse King had done.

It wasn’t until now that the Curse King realized the flaw in his thinking. He’d only known that Lu Yun’s future self had traveled through thirty-three cycles when he met the Time Guard. It was simply too ridiculous to imagine otherwise. Even the Curse King himself had required the unique power of his world to anchor himself in the endless loops of these worlds.

This was a kind of tempering for him, a trial of cultivation.

……

“What’s inside the Abyssal Hell that even the Curse King wants to go in?” Haidong Lin couldn’t help his curiosity.

“I haven’t derived it yet, but I have a good guess.” Desire flashed through Lu Yun’s eyes. “It’s what you want, what the Sea Emperor wants, and what the original emperor wants!”

“What?” Haidong Lin didn’t understand. What he wanted most of all at the moment was to see his emperor.

“A real world of sequence.” Lu Yun gazed upon the boundless depths of the Abyssal Hell. “If my guess is right, a real world of sequence is nurtured in this hell! A world that can access a dao sequence does exist!

“The Major Cycle Worlds that supported the primary worlds perished, so this Abyssal Hell came here to nurture a world of sequence!” his voice trembled with emotion.
