An endless horde of Infernum shambled out of the darkness. They looked physically different, but their expressions and mannerisms indicated they were the same person. In response, Principal Nineheavens Talismans floated around Lu Yun. They could control both immortal and yin ghosts.

The yin soldiers halted as soon as they encountered the talismans. However, the other Infernum were unswayed by their suppressed brethren. They continued to advance on Lu Yun.

“Stand down!” the young man shouted.

“Master, your subordinate is here to help you,” they responded in uncanny unison. There were so many of them that they trampled the frozen soldiers in front, yin ghost and talisman together.

“Since you won’t stand down, you can die.” Detachment crossed Lu Yun’s face and he splayed his hand—an image of a massive cannon emerged from the palm of his hand.

An immortal weapon of war!

The weapon wasn’t actually in the ruins or stored on him, but since Lu Yun was versed in the combat art of Spacetime Reincarnation, he could combine two spaces and bring the weapon to him.

These days, the weapon was renowned through the chief worlds for being able to deliver the blow of a supreme. Even bonafide supremes in the chief worlds were wary of it.

“Why go to all this trouble?” The unending horde of Infernum dispersed, replaced by a man with commonplace features in black armor. He wielded a heavy longsword and seemed to have been there all along, observing Lu Yun. It wasn’t until the ghostly soldiers scattered that the young man was able to see him.

“The king soldier of the Firmament Prison?” Lu Yun arched a brow and aimed his cannon at the man.

The king soldier looked very ordinary. Neither strikingly beautiful nor horrifically ugly, he would be instantly lost among the masses if tossed in a crowd. Yet, it was this nondescript look that was most representative of life.

“The Firmament Prison will be yours if you can subdue me. Care to give it a try?” He remained unmoving as he looked at the weapon of war in Lu Yun’s hand.

“I do want the Firmament Prison, but I don’t want the prison of the primeval heavenly court.” Lu Yun shook his head.

Booooooom.

A pillar of light spewed from his hand and smashed into the king soldier, instantly vaporizing the target.

Although there was no trace left of the king soldier, Lu Yun knew very well that more was needed to kill a powerhouse of that caliber. The king soldier of the Firmament Prison was an existence that exceeded supreme. To the lower levels of the chief worlds, the supremes were lofty, inviolable beings. Yet when one joined the ranks of these august personages, they realized that being a supreme was just to reach ordinary adulthood.

“Is he gone?” Lu Yun breathed out with relief and put the weapon away, continuing on the path beneath his feet to the depths of this world.

At some point in time, he arrived at the tomb he noted earlier. The tomb was the true core of the prison. Silence reigned around him—it’d grown darker the further in he ventured. His eyes were useless by this stage since there was no available light to see with.

With the Spectral Eye nullified by the rules of the Firmament Prison, it was the first time that Lu Yun set unseeing eyes on pure darkness.

But he remained calm. His nascent spirit was still connected to hell and he could make a swift exit if danger found him. That was why he had come here so fearlessly. Even though the spacetime tide had receded, the ruins were still an extremely hazardous place for supremes, not to mention sequence experts.

All was quiet in the darkness. Nothing could be heard, nothing could be seen. However, Lu Yun smelled a certain pungent stench. He couldn’t place it—it wasn’t of decay or rot, but something else.

The tiniest exhale whispered through the air, sending Lu Yun’s hairs standing on end. He reflexively shot back as far as he could.

Crunch!

It was like a giant mouth had suddenly snapped shut. When upper and lower teeth crunched together, a pungent smell again burrowed its way into Lu Yun’s nostrils.

A massive beast!

Lu Yun realized what he was facing. He must’ve walked in front of an unknown beast; the stench was its breath!

Barely repressing the urge to vomit, he scuttled backward. Though he couldn’t see the beast, he could sense that it was coming for him with jaws wide open.

Rustle!

A dull clanging of chains echoed in the darkness, followed by an agonized yelp. The wave of ill wind speedily shifted away. Lu Yun’s back was drenched with sweat. If he’d been any slower, he would’ve been consumed so thoroughly that not even bone fragments would remain.

“What was that? A dog of war?” He heaved for breath. Thanks to the beast chasing him, he was now completely lost in the darkness. It was impossible to find his way back to the path.

“Where are Chu Xingran and Xie Tianxun?” Lu Yun frowned in thought. “Right, this is a tomb of nobility, so ordinary methods can’t pierce the surroundings. I’ll have to try with the Dragonquake Scripture.”

He called upon nearby earthen veins with the scripture. As jet-black light flared in his eyes, the world around him came into focus.

The Dragonquake Scripture!

Its combat arts perfectly replaced the death arts that he couldn’t call upon at the moment. There was a massive black dog crouched on the ground roughly five hundred meters ahead of him. Just as Lu Yun thought, it was a dog of war.

“Do you recognize it?” Lu Yun used his eyes to create an opening in the world of the Tome of Life and Death.

“It\'s not one of my kind—something’s possessing it.” The demon of immortal dao shook his head. “That’s not a dog of war!”

The earlier barking had almost caused the demon to lose his mind when it traveled into the book. It also had the additional effect of awakening some of his memories.

“It’s not your body?” Lu Yun pressed.

“No!” the demon answered. “My body was lost a long time ago. The phenomenon earlier was me, but the one in front of us is not me.”

“How do I bring it down?” Lu Yun would have to make it past the dog if he wanted to enter the main burial chamber. However, he was no match for it.
