Lu Yun’s sudden jab was swift and deadly; it contained the concealed battle strength of a peak grand supreme. He’d never heard of the Divine Shaman Cauldron before, but the divine treasure of an empyrean supreme was of paramount importance. A peak grand supreme had to exhaust ninety-nine percent of his power to keep the treasure under control!
The young man’s single stab pierced the enemy through, whereupon Heavenfall exploded with overwhelming force to shatter the peak grand supreme’s body.
BOOM!
A large black cauldron appeared in the void after a tremendous explosion, paired with the pained howl of their erstwhile enemy.
Blood showered down from the air, painting an incredibly gruesome sight with the gusts of yin wind. Although an impenetrable gloom from pure dark dao suffused the area, everyone could clearly see the harrowing scene in this moment.
The divine treasure of an empyrean supreme!
Brandishing Heavenfall in front of him, Lu Yun retreated several thousand kilometers before he could settle flustered eyes on the black cauldron.
The peak grand supreme from the Grand Spirit Pivot whose name Lu Yun didn’t even know was thoroughly dead. Not by Lu Yun’s doing, but from the black cauldron sucking him dry of blood, essence, spirit, and soul. He’d joined the ranks of the wills of death floating around the ancient burial mound.
The darkness yet remained in their surroundings, but everyone regained their vision thanks to the Divine Shaman Cauldron.
“So this is a divine treasure of an empyrean supreme?” Lu Yun slowly flew back, still holding Heavenfall at the ready.
The overlord of Ice and Moran Wu looked wordlessly at Lu Yun. They’d engaged the peak grand supreme when he was preoccupied with suppressing the cauldron. Despite the prolonged battle, they’d been nowhere close to concluding it.

Yet here came Lu Yun, stabbing the guy to death as soon as he showed up. They knew the illustrious Heavenfall, but this was still a bit too much, wasn’t it?
Granted, the peak grand supreme ultimately died to backlash from the cauldron. He would still be in good condition if not for Jin Huo’s palm strike and Lu Yun’s jab. How long had it been since they’d last seen the young man? How did he already possess the strength to harm a peak grand supreme?
Instead of greeting their countrymen, both Jin Huo and Lu Yun were fully focused on the Divine Shaman Cauldron. Not only had it consumed the enemy’s blood, essence, spirit, and soul, it’d also absorbed all of his strength. It was as if the cauldron was alive.
“You two know how to run a good scheme,” a familiar voice traveled out of the cauldron. “You almost ruined my plans.”
It was the Disordered Empyrean Supreme!
Lu Yun shuddered. They were in the tomb of the shamanic ancestor!
The Divine Shaman Cauldron had been personally crafted by the shamanic ancestor and the Disordered Empyrean Supreme was able to become an empyrean supreme because of the ancestor. This divine treasure had been tailor made for her, so how would she leave the cauldron alone once she entered?
The peak grand supreme from the Grand Spirit Pivot had likely been her prey. Him seizing the cauldron in the first place had been done with her tacit approval.
“Hmph,” Lu Yun couldn’t help but scoff at the image slowly rising from the cauldron. “Ruin your plans? If it wasn’t for me stabbing this guy half to death, do you think you’d be able to so easily devour a peak grand supreme stronger than you?”
He waved Heavenfall around, sending the Disordered Empyrean Supreme into a daze. She never fathomed that Lu Yun would be here with God’s weapon.
“That’s right, the Land of Reincarnation
 God must have gone to the Land of Reincarnation to recover,” she immediately realized. “Some people must have known that the god of Mount Tai would create the Land of Reincarnation. They struck up a friendship with him so they could enter the Land of Reincarnation.”
She snorted with cold laughter. “It seems that I owe you one, so I will leave you be this time. Next time we meet, I will kill you and claim your hell dao!”
Hummmm.
She bloomed with black radiance and vanished with the cauldron. Darkness swept in once more, robbing the group of their sight.
“Lu Yun?” the overlord of Ice transmitted cautiously.
“It’s me,” Lu Yun grinned. He was still grateful toward the overlord. It was the other’s teaching of the method of nothing that saved Lu Yun a great deal of time and effort, thereby resolving many life and death situations that he eventually faced.
“Mm.” The overlord trembled, then nodded without a word.
Plainly, Lu Yun’s identity had to remain a secret. If not, the grand supremes of the chief worlds and other worlds would hunt down the young man before they left the tomb. As mighty as Heavenfall was, there was only so much it could do by itself.
“We take our leave.” The overlord raised cupped fists to Lu Yun and Jin Huo, then tugged Moran Wu out of the tomb.
“Do you know them?” Jin Huo asked curiously.
“One used to be my enemy and the other counts as my teacher,” Lu Yun nodded.
“They were in such a hurry to leave because they didn’t want to expose you. It looks like there’s more to you than I thought,” Jin Huo laughed.
“I guess you could say that,” Lu Yun chuckled ruefully. “But I’ve determined where the Disordered Empyrean Supreme has moved to. It won’t be that easy for the dark empyrean supreme to take her since she’s armed with the Divine Shaman Cauldron.”
“You’re wrong,” Jin Huo shook her head. “The Disordered Empyrean Supreme is arrogant and thinks entirely too highly of herself. She was like that before she became an empyrean supreme and will be worse after ascending. Her death had much to do with her personality. If she didn’t have the cauldron, she would exercise caution, set up her plots from the shadows, and slowly work toward her goals.
“But with her new treasure, she’ll tear through the burial mound and maybe even use the dark empyrean supreme’s projection to scheme against his primary body!”
Lu Yun raised a brow. “Has she not learned anything from her death?”
“She wouldn’t be the Disordered Empyrean Supreme if she did,” Jin Huo curled her lip. She was old acquaintances with the one she spoke of. They weren’t friends, but they knew each other. However, the empyrean supreme’s replica hadn’t even looked at her just now.
She hadn’t changed.
Not one iota.
“I really don’t get why Yun Yi saved someone like that? She’s just going to die again after being resurrected.” Lu Yun didn’t gain any answers after operating formula dao. It was only a matter of time before someone with a personality like that suffered another loss.
“Who knows? Maybe the little princess revived her to have her die again,” Jin Huo murmured.
Lu Yun shuddered, recalling what the primordial heavenly emperor had said—that Yun Yi used her primary body to seal the fissure between the land of darkness and the chief worlds.
She was someone who could sacrifice even herself, so nothing she did would faze him.
