Necropolis Immortal

Despite that, the titans were so hardy that they weren’t really injured by the blows.
Nailed to the earth, they whined and yelled since at most, the slams stung them a slight bit.

It was still a rather impressive sight, all things considered.

……

Five thousand kilometers away, the great elder of the Xuan Yuan Slaves raged with fury.
Lu Yun’s counterattack reigned dominant in the space between them, and none of the elder’s incantations found any footing within the vicinity.

However, more Xuan Yuan Slaves poured in from all directions and set up a perimeter around the zone of connate wood energy.
Five enormous altar projections stood in their respective directions, restoring calm and order to the chaotic energy of the land.
A figure stood on each of the gigantic altars, ones that looked down coldly at the trespassing trio.

“Venerated High Priests!” The elder shook with excitement when he saw the altars and fell to his knees.

“This slave greets the hallowed high priests!”

“Greetings to the venerated high priests!”

“We greet the noble high priests!”

Greetings and acknowledgments rose and fell in all directions.
It seemed that all of the Xuan Yuan Slaves in this tomb realm were kneeling on the ground and worshipping the figures on the altars.

……

“The high priests of the five elemental rites! It’s the five high priests under Xuan Yuan’s banner!” Ashu widened his eyes at the altars and the figures standing on top of them.
“To think that they’re still alive…”

“No.” Seemingly in response to Ashu’s words, the shadow at the centermost altar sharpened into focus as a real man.
He seemed to be in his thirties and wore a long, bright yellow robe.
He appeared elegant and poised, and the trace of a warm smile could be found on his face.
“The five original priests have been long lost in the river of time.
No one could’ve survived from the era until now.”

“But you really are the priest of earth, and you stand upon the altar of earth…” Ashu slowly rose in the air to take a better look.
“Are you their descendant?”

The priest of earth shook his head again.
“At best, we can be described as their successors.
We are not of their bloodline.” The man erased the smile on his face and turned chilly.
“Speak, what is it that you have come here for?”

“The spleen!” Lu Yun flew over as well.
“I want the spleen of heaven and earth in the yin tomb!”

He didn’t waste time beating around the bush as the five priests were simply too strong.
If they decided to stop the trio, Lu Yun would have no way of entering the yin realm tomb, to say nothing of obtaining the spleen.

The Xuan Yuan Slaves only possessed great physical strength and the bizarre incantation art.
They couldn’t cultivate, but that hardly applied to the five priests.
In fact, Lu Yun sensed domineering cultivation realms from all of them.

He didn’t know what they’d practiced, but if they took to the field, neither Ashu nor the demon sovereign would be their match.
What shocked him was that the five altars beneath their feet were the real deal! They were identical to the Water and Metal Altar he’d seen before, as well as the Wood Altar he’d moved to hell!

Or was there more than one set of altars to the five elements in the world?

The priests quieted at his answer.

“The spleen has become a god and a poisonous blight upon the Xuan Yuan Tomb.
It would be wonderful if you could take him away.
However, you won’t be able to with your current level of strength,” raised the priest of earth after a long period of silence.
