Chapter 2023 – Eye of Great Dao

It would take a long time for the eye of great dao to regather itself after Lu Yun shattered it with one blow. The young man made good his escape with the advantage of this respite.

The empyrean supreme that attacked him last shook with fury. He’d never imagined that a mere high supreme would escape right beneath his nose! He’d also been temporarily stunned by the Vast Dragon Seaturner and missed the best moment to strike.

Otherwise, if an empyrean supreme made a move… even Lu Yun’s AK-47 would be smashed to smithereens, no matter how strong it was.

……

“What is it? You seem very agitated.” The Disordered Empyrean Supreme stretched lazily against the divine tree in the center of the world inside the Tome of Life and Death. She’d shelved the notion of killing the young man and all other thoughts, opting to quietly remain where she was. It was a nice opportunity to observe the rise and fall of life within a world.

Since this world was Lu Yun’s inner world and deeply tied to himself, certain changes appeared in it if his emotions fluctuated too wildly. Of course, only simple creatures were here apart from the Disordered Empyrean Supreme, so they didn’t possess the capacity to notice anything different.

“I just escaped from an empyrean supreme.” Lu Yun had found his way to a real sea and transformed into a tiny fish, diving deep into its depths.

There were plenty of eyes of great dao in this world. After he broke one, eyes assigned to other areas were quickly redeployed to comb through every inch of the land. Thus, he was finding movement impossible and could only try to do his best to evade their search.

He himself could hide from the eye, but the fact that they couldn’t see through the Tome of Life and Death was turning into his greatest weakness.

At this stage, the eyes of great dao directed light from the great dao to anything they couldn’t see through, no matter what it was. The light was a terrifying illumination that could annihilate peak grand supremes!

“Escape from an empyrean supreme? You?” The empyrean supreme blinked. “You’ve… gone to the World Heart?”

“No,” Lu Yun shook his head. “I’m in the real world.”

“The real world? What do you mean?” Pausing, several expressions flickered through the empyrean supreme’s face when she thought of something. “Are you being hunted by that pack of primitive idiots?”

Plainly, she knew about this world.

“This isn’t a time for jokes. How can I not run when an empyrean supreme is after my head?” Lu Yun pouted.

“That’s true enough, you’re only a high supreme at the moment,” the empyrean supreme nodded and then smirked. “Do you need my help?” 

“No,” the young man shook his head. “If I let you out, the first one to die will be me.”

“Boring.” She sat down on the tree’s roots and fell silent.

“Have you been here before?” Lu Yun thought of something. “How did you evade the eyes of great dao?”

“My father once sent me here to temper myself and ascend to grand supreme. I left after I broke through.” The empyrean supreme opened her eyes. “As for how I evaded them… I just kept running. I kept running and kept killing until I somehow became a grand supreme. Then I went home.”

“That’s one way of doing it.” Lu Yun thought for a bit. “I suppose I could do that too, but killing too many innocents is bad for my way of cultivation.”

Shamanic dao leaned toward the dark side, so it didn’t affect its cultivators to be tarnished by the sins of killing. In fact, it rather helped their cultivation. The original shamanic ancestor had comprehended his dao from blood and gore.

Lu Yun wasn’t afraid of retribution coming for him, it was that he rejected the notion of murder on a fundamental basis. He wanted to try and avoid killing others if he could. Besides, no one he killed here would become his Infernum. Thus, what was the point?

“I’ve gotta keep running.” Back in the real world, he saw an eye of the great dao as soon as he opened the Spectral Eye. Accordingly, he sped off in the opposite direction.

In order to search for what they could not see, the eyes moved at a slow speed. Meanwhile, his Boundless Step death art had reached extreme speeds and could even pierce through space.

Wholly unprepared, not even the empyrean supreme could do anything to Lu Yun.

But if that heavyweight set his eyes on the young man, it would spell the latter’s doom. Thus, there was nothing else he could do but continuously change form and move as swiftly as possible from location to location.

Unfortunately, his cultivation suffered for this course of action. This would be a prime training opportunity for any other cultivator, but it was useless to Lu Yun. Death arts did not improve or were strengthened through repeated usage. His Method of Life and Death also didn’t operate when he used the death arts. The arts were directed by the power of reincarnation in the Tome of Life and Death.

There was nothing he could do about that. If he gave up the death arts and relied on his own capabilities… How far would a high supreme get? Only a few grand supremes and peak grand supremes had chased after the Disordered Empyrean Supreme when she was here. Neither had she acted like Lu Yun and destroyed one of the eyes to evade its pursuit, thus raising an empyrean supreme’s attention.

Lu Yun was caught between a rock and a hard place.

“I can… go against the grain!” The idea struck him. “The eyes don’t stay in one place for long and don’t search the same place again. If I can derive their search pattern and range, I can slip into a location after they’ve scanned it. That should be doable!”

He scattered a handful of beans and created one thousand and eighty replicas, commanding them to move out and enter the eyes’ range.

Being soybeans in core essence, the golden armored warriors didn’t fool the eyes of great dao for a single second. However, the eyes ignored the moving soybeans and were focused on locating the unknown treasure that they couldn’t see through.

Lu Yun’s replicas hid in the shadows and quietly observed the enemy’s movement. Instead of having the yin gods inhabit them, he filled the warriors with his own thoughts.

After a while, he made the unpleasant discovery that the three hundred and sixty-five eyes formed a perfect revolution. They didn’t move on from a place after searching through it. An eye was also left behind at every locale.

Their speed was increasing and their range growing wider. The eyes of great dao were… developing.

One of Lu Yun’s golden warriors witnessed an eye summon the light of great dao after it discovered something, vaporizing everything within fifty million kilometers—including a dozen peak grand supremes.
