Necropolis Immortal

and crack, and from the cracks came a faint glow.
A terrifying presence was unleashed in the next second.
Even under the protection of the Tome of Life and Death, Lu Yun couldn’t help but back away, chilled to the bone.

Bam!

“Grrrr!!” The statue suddenly exploded, giving way to an exotic beast of black and white.
It looked identical to the statue, with patterns of black and white criss-crossing across its body hinting at a pattern of the world.
It lunged at Lu Yun with a flash of light as soon as it emerged.

Bam!

Beigong Yu’s statue exploded as well.
He turned into a kunpeng and barreled into the yin-yang beast.

Bam!!

The beast turned and struck at Beigong Yu with its two front claws, knocking him off his feet.

“Grrr!!” It tilted its head and howled into the air, unfurling its six pairs of bat wings.
Black and white light intertwined in the air, and Beigong Yu was torn to pieces before he could even scream.
He turned back into a statue and returned to the spot before the kunpeng nest.

The yin-yang beast turned back and stared at Lu Yun, deep growls sounding from its mouth.
Even the Tome of Life and Death trembled slightly under the beast’s power.

“What is this thing? How is it possible for the beast to destabilize even the protection of the Tome of Life and Death?!” Shocked, Lu Yun burned another three pieces of karmic fruit.
Black light burst forth from the Tome of Life and Death as hellfire circled around his body.
He stared fixedly at the slowly approaching beast.

It wasn’t too large, running only roughly nine meters long.
However, the aura it exuded was far too overwhelming.

Lu Yun paled, his gaze fixed on the approaching beast and his heart heavy.
The beast was even more intimidating than Scarlet Ape! He suspected that the yin-yang beast would be able to destroy Scarlet Ape with a single blow, like it had with Beigong Yu.

He wouldn’t be its match even if he used the emperor corpse puppet.

The nest behind the beast isn’t its nest! The yin-yang beast is the guardian of the Metal Altar.
Lu Yun cursed himself for carelessly believing there was no danger here, thus being caught off guard by the guardian beast.

“Once completed, the lungs will be a great treasure more valuable than even the ten connate spirit roots.
Of course whoever set up this altar would leave a guardian here.
I can only run!” Lu Yun cursed under his breath.
He had no other choice, despite his reluctance.

“Oh?” a lazy voice echoed in Lu Yun’s head.
“A yin-yang beast.
How did you run into something like this?”

As Violetgrave the sword leapt from Lu Yun’s body, Violetgrave the woman sashayed forth.

The yin-yang beast came to a sudden halt, its dark golden eyes shining with a trace of fear and began retreating.

“Don’t worry, I won’t eat you.” Violetgrave gave the beast a serious once-over and smiled with a subtle gulp of saliva.
“You’re the last yin-yang beast in the world.
Your kind will be truly extinct if I eat you, making that an act of horrific karma.
I won’t do something like that, even if yin-yang beasts really are very tasty.”

The yin-yang beast lay prone on the ground, paralyzed by fear.

“So someone did succeed in copying an organ of the world.” Violetgrave looked up at the lungs, entranced.
“One more step, just one more step is all that remains before it fully comes into shape.”

“An organ of the world?” Lu Yun blurted out in disbelief, overwhelmed by the revelation.

“That’s not something you should know about for now.” Violetgrave flicked Lu Yun a sideways glance.
“You’re a bold little thing.
You do know that only the most powerful beings in the world would be able to create something like this? A simple sweep of their consciousness would be enough to crush a little fellow like you ten thousand times over.
And you dare covet this thing?”

Violetgrave naturally knew what the youth was thinking.

Noting her expression, Lu Yun perked up.
“Do you have a solution?”

“Are you bargaining with me?” Violetgrave licked her lips, her gaze sending a shudder down Lu Yun’s spine.

“Forget it, I don’t need your help.
I’ll think of a way myself.” Lu Yun shifted his attention back to the giant lungs with renewed interest.

“Alright, I’ll be going then.” Violetgrave vanished into the sword, and the sword returned to Lu Yun’s body.
After a prolonged yawn, she fell silent.

Seeing her disappear, the yin-yang beast slowly got to its feet, scowling at Lu Yun.
But then it froze when Lu Yun was replaced by the terrifying girl in a violet dress from earlier.

Violetgrave!

“Hm, I wonder what tastes better.
Roasted yin-yang beast? Or beast stew?” Transforming into Violetgrave, Lu Yun cackled and mimicked her tone.

Having just awakened from its long slumber, the yin-yang beast’s wits weren’t that sharp.
It whimpered and fled as soon as Lu Yun made the threat.

Lu Yun’s Shapeshifting art was masterful.
He could replicate not only Violetgrave’s appearance, but also her energy and presence.
Although he didn’t possess Violetgrave’s strength, it was sufficient to scare the gullible beast.

Mid-escape, the yin-yang beast seemed to realize something.
It stopped and turned to Lu Yun, its eyes flashing viciously.

Swoosh!

Violetgrave’s sword form emerged in the air with a flicker of light, sending the yin-yang beast scurrying off with a terrified yowl.

“Tsk tsk, what a scaredy cat.” Lu Yun held the sword and shook his head, transforming back into himself.

“An organ of the world!” He turned back to the giant lungs, his heart pounding.
“Someone has replicated an organ of the world… If I can incorporate it, won’t I become as powerful as heaven and earth?” Lu Yun muttered, staring at the giant lungs.

Clink!

Violetgrave hummed, jerking Lu Yun out of his trance.
His clothes were drenched in cold sweat.

“It’s alive… it’s sentient!”
