Chapter 1940 – A Triple Threat

No one imagined that the venerable Disordered Empyrean Supreme would bully the weak and move on Lu Yun. When such a powerhouse took action, even the nearby Tailong could do nothing. He could only watch as her hand descended on Lu Yun’s head. The Tome of Life and Death had no recourse against a peak grand supreme—the young man wouldn’t be afforded the chance to revive.

Hummm.

A purplish-black ripple wafted through the air the moment the supreme’s hand was about to touch Lu Yun’s head.

“Hmm?” The Disordered Empyrean Supreme hadn’t held anything back and would’ve turned the young man to dust had the blow connected. His true spirit would be destroyed and his replicas and will in the outside world would be extinguished.

At the moment, however, the supreme felt like her hand was imprinted on a massive mountain of empyrean crystal. Lu Yun’s head, body, and everything about him remained unmoving.

She reflexively backed up with urgency and considered him with consternation.

“Disordered Empyrean Supreme, you’re being quite the ingrate,” sounded an ethereal female voice. Yun Yi stepped out of the void wearing long purple robes.

The three hundred and sixty-fifth ranked Snow Lotus beneath Lu Yun’s feet bloomed anew when she pointed with her finger. A haze of light around him faded away. It’d been her treasure that protected the young man just now.

Cold sweat beaded his forehead. Although he knew that Yun Yi, Tailong, and Mo Yi wouldn’t let him die, that had been much too close for comfort.

“Yun Yi,” the supreme snorted with laughter. “You say that this seat is an ingrate?”

“You’d still be a ball of muddled thought if I hadn’t employed some wiles to send you the shamanic ancestor’s skull,” Yun Yi answered with a half smile. “Why do you think one hundred thousand grand supremes showed up to hunt for treasure just when your disordered throne happened to reappear? And why is it that you were able to devour grand supreme souls in sufficient numbers to occupy that shaman’s skull?”

Lu Yun’s scalp went numb when he heard Yun Yi’s words. He’d grown aware of how ruthless and terrifying Yun Yi could be from all of the schemes she’d laid to nurture Chu Xingran. To think that her ambitions would span so far as to entrap one hundred thousand grand supremes merely to enhance the Disordered Empyrean Supreme’s consciousness!

True enough, the latter wouldn’t be strong enough to possess the shamanic ancestor’s skull otherwise. While Yun Yi may not have personally killed the one hundred thousand grand supremes, the retribution for their deaths would certainly fall on her!

Not only was she the cause of so many grand supremes’ deaths, the shamans, void robber Cen Sui, and others had been dragged into her plots. The shamans fought Cen Sui for countless years after the shamanic ancestor’s skull was taken. Uncountable people died as a side effect and all associated karma would be attributed to Yun Yi.

Lu Yun had wondered where Yun Yi and the Dao King had gone off to. Now it seemed that they’d left to open the tomb of the empyrean supreme.

The tomb’s opening coincided with the reassembly of the shattered disordered throne. Yun Yi needed to craft a new peak grand supreme for the chief worlds, or even an empyrean supreme. She didn’t hesitate to use the blood of all life to accomplish her goal.

She had three choices available to her—raise Chu Xingran to peak grand supreme and sacrifice him to the realm monster in the Firmament Prison, use the realm monster to recreate the primordial heavenly court, or the Disordered Empyrean Supreme in front of them.

Out of an abundance of caution, she’d proceeded on three different fronts and laid down a triple-layered plan. They were all relevant and connected to each other.

At the same time, Lu Yun couldn’t be certain that this was all Yun Yi had up her sleeve. What if she had a fourth plot, a fifth? The woman was too frightening to comprehend… No wonder Mo Yi and the others called her the crown prince of the primordial heavenly court, as opposed to just a regular princess.

The Disordered Empyrean Supreme’s expression sank when she heard the words.

“Of course, I also anticipated your current state of mind. You can’t fault me for showing no mercy if you continue to be this thickheaded.” Purple light glowed in Yun Yi’s eyes as the shadow of a purple sword appeared in her hand. Its keen edge glowed with energy and burst with resolute killing intent.

A resurrected Disordered Empyrean Supreme was within her calculations. Having made all of these plans, she could also very well kill the supreme and have someone else take over the body.

Rumble!

The throne behind the Disordered Empyrean Supreme rose with a boom and manifested images of all life worshiping it.

Yun Yi and Tailong looked at each other before rushing their opponent. Snow Lotus beneath Lu Yun’s feet turned purple, protecting the young man. The throne had sealed off the premises, preventing the treasure from breaking through the void and carrying him to safety.

Lu Yun tried opening the Gates of the Abyss—his attempt was successful, but he couldn’t connect to hell.

Mortals suffered when the gods fought. Although Lu Yun was the mightiest god to the World of Immortals, he wasn’t even a mortal compared to these even stronger gods. What worried him the most was that while Yun Yi appeared undaunted, she was very weak and was already covered with injuries.

He hadn’t known why this was the case before, but now realized that it was from opening the tomb. Retribution and overwhelming resentment from the Disordered Empyrean Supreme killing one hundred thousand grand supremes had all recoiled onto her.

Even as a grand supreme, it was very difficult for her to endure this level of backlash. If it wasn’t for the Dao King helping shoulder some of her burden, she might’ve died long ago. Yun Yi’s plans were thorough and complete, but she didn’t account for Lu Yun’s existence!

Lu Yun was a complete accident outside of her parameters.

She could’ve ignored him and let the Disordered Empyrean Supreme take the origin hell since she wanted it. But Mo Yi valued Lu Yun and even Tailong viewed the young man as his future strategist. Therefore, Yun Yi had to drag her battered body and fight the supreme to win Lu Yun a chance of survival.

The combination of the disordered throne and the shamanic skull was too strong, allowing the Disordered Empyrean Supreme to hold her own despite battling two people. She was even starting to get the upper hand!

But worries plagued her all the same. Yun Yi and Tailong had come, yet Lu Yun still held the marks of two more peak grand supremes. If they came as well, that would spell the end of her. Thus, she searched for an escape route as she fought—but she would take down the young man before she left. She must have hell!
