Necropolis Immortal

tomb’s establishment, four powerhouses who’d once followed the emperor of the original Hongmeng sensed the summons and transformed themselves into burial mounds standing guard in the four cardinal directions.
Protecting their master’s final resting place, the Shadow Sovereign, Corpse Sovereign, Blood Sovereign, and Fog Sovereign had also perished in the Broken Primeval Plane.
They, too, were heavyweights who’d reached the peak of dao.

During this adventure, Lu Yun happened to pass through the location that the Shadow Sovereign guarded.
If it wasn’t for Yun Zhongzi’s various layouts and usage of Xing Wuliang’s shadow to break the Shadow Sovereign’s shadow dao, Lu Yun wouldn’t have made it through so easily.

Yun Zhongzi had shattered the Corpse Sovereign’s layout with the Roastwave World King’s body, a layout which was then completely ruined by Lu Yun’s dao of herding corpses.

Only the Blood Sovereign and Fog Sovereign remained.
Where bloody light danced ahead of them was the Blood Sovereign’s domain.

“Heh heh heh, you’ve finally come here, brat!” A piercing shriek came from ahead the moment Lu Yun set foot into the light.
Boundless radiance condensed into a scarlet body that blocked the young man’s way.

Yun Zhongzi followed behind Lu Yun; he’d given up using Roastwave’s body and now inhabited an unknown Nihil World Sovereign’s body.
He’d gone to a great deal of effort to lure a personage of this level into his traps.
If it wasn’t for Lu Yun’s arrival, he never would’ve brought it out.
This body came with a stunning background that not even the current Yun Zhongzi was willing to antagonize.

Lu Yun, however, ignored his follower.
He stared unblinkingly at the abruptly appearing Blood Sovereign, his eyes growing wider and wider until he cursed loudly.

“Oh what the fuck?! Why is it you?? You’re the Blood Sovereign who’s reached the peak of blood dao?” Lu Yun pointed at the Blood Sovereign with a shaking finger.

“That’s right, that is indeed this grand one!” The Blood Sovereign clenched his jaw, then deflated and sank to one knee in front of Lu Yun.
“Greetings to the young master.”

The blood demon!

When Luo Houluo and Darkriver combined into Asura, Daoist Ingress had suppressed him with the four evil coffins.
Asura had then followed Lu Yun back to the great wilderness and then again to the world of immortals as the blood demon!

Yun Zhongzi gaped, unable to process the sudden revelation.
The Blood Sovereign was… the infamous blood demon? And they were on the same side?

They’d fought each other for an indeterminable period of time; Yun Zhongzi had never been able to shatter his blood formation.
But it turned out they knew each other from the great wilderness?!

“Why is it you?” Lu Yun chuckled ruefully.

“Why isn’t it me?” The blood demon sighed and stood up.
“Yun Zhongzi almost obtained the Imperial Seal back in the day, but the treasure was supplanted by another existence.
That existence sent me to the great wilderness and split me into two!

“Part of me entered the Blood Sea and became the blood demon.
The other part entered the world of celestials to become Luo Houluo.
Then… for various reasons, my two selves combined as one.
I was Asura and the blood demon, ultimately joining the young master.”

The existence he spoke of was the Tome of Life and Death.
If it wasn’t for the book, then Yun Zhongzi and Fuxi would’ve sent the Imperial Seal back to the great wilderness.

“Young master came here, so my true spirit came back with you,” the blood demon laughed wryly.

He’d been overseeing grand affairs in the world of immortals just one second ago, his cultivation level having reached a sovereign in the chaos.
He was about to set foot into the Hongmeng, but had been mysteriously pulled to his master and somehow became the Blood Sovereign beneath the banner of the original emperor.

Ah, no.
Since the Blood Sovereign had been subdued by the Tome of Life and Death, he was the Blood Sovereign beneath Lu Yun’s banner.

Yun Zhongzi stared wordlessly. 

“So… uh… now we only have the Fog Sovereign to deal with?” Lu Yun cocked his head quizzically. 

“The Fog and Shadow Sovereigns, and the Corpse Sovereign are all the same.
They’re all dead and without intelligence.
They operate based on instincts according to the rules present,” explained the Blood Sovereign.
“If young master wishes to obtain the Imperial Seal, you must eradicate them with brute force.”

This is one helluva throwback.
Do you guys remember the blood demon chasing Lu Yun, causing the ruins at the West Sea to blow up, throwing him to the great wilderness? That guy.
