Necropolis Immortal

omething wrong with this future self! If he went to the time beyond the great devastation, how could he have become a demon and cultivate the demonic dao?!” The Dao King’s voice rang in everyone’s ears as if it were the morning bell, but Lu Yun’s expression remained the same throughout.

It was the Curse King who showed some reaction.
He’d cursed the great tomb beneath Mount Cloudcover as well, so Lu Yun’s future self should’ve been under his control.
Something seemed to have gone wrong.

“You’re right, I mean precisely that.” The black-robed Lu Yun smiled when he heard the Dao King’s words.
“Live in the present, fight for the present, and don’t think so far.
Nihil and nothing are the true eternity.”

“…holy fuck, how come I turn into some religious nutjob in the future?” Lu Yun rubbed his nose.
“What did you bring back from the future?”

“The big-headed doll, you’ve seen it already,” said his black-robed self.
“The mistress’ cultivation method of the three lives isn’t to collect the dao fruits of the past, present, and future.
It’s to send replicas of oneself into the past and future to find two treasures!

“I brought the treasure back from the future, but it turned into a big-headed doll as soon as it reached this era.

“Our past self should’ve gotten his hands on the treasure too and delivered it to you through certain means.”

“Do you mean that brush?!” Lu Yun blinked.

“Yes, the brush.
The brushes of the past, present, and future!”

“Does this have something to do with the akasha ghosts?” Lu Yun still recalled how God had said that the akasha ghosts had something to do with him.
He hadn’t believed God at first, but now that he knew God was a heavyweight of the fourth realm and a being above Nihil World Sovereign, he was beginning to accept those words.

The black-robed Lu Yun fell silent for a moment, then raised his head to look at the pure black sky.
“I would commit suicide right now if it wasn’t for the akasha ghosts.
I would kill you, then kill all life in this Hongmeng.

“The akasha ghosts are my resentment and your resentment.
I released my resentment through the brush of the future when I obtained it, and they became the akasha ghosts.

“Since the brush of the future drew them, they are not restricted by the past, present, or future.
They can appear in any era.
Since they were drawn into existence, the layout of absolute death that they project is a real scroll.
Anyone who loses themselves in it becomes a person in the painting.”

I now have two of the brushes, Lu Yun suddenly thought.
Both his current and future self were him.
They hadn’t combined as one yet, so their memories remained separate.
But whatever he was thinking was also the thoughts of his future self.

“Find the big-headed doll and turn him back into a brush.
The Tome of Life and Death will truly open up to you when the brushes of the past, present, and future are united.
It can end the cycle of great devastation!” The black-robed Lu Yun began to fade away as he spoke and turned into a dao fruit that sank into Lu Yun’s forehead.

Lu Yun’s cultivation was finally complete with both his past and future selves in his body.

The pure black sky began to clear up and a hazy purple firmament once more appeared in everyone’s eyes.
Lu Yun’s Glacial Fire Hammers recovered their strength, and he was now peak ninth step king!

“We can continue.” He opened his eyes and faced the eleven potentates, three thousand true kings, and the glowering Curse King.
