Chapter 1923 – Ten Yama Worlds
Lu Yun had once pondered whether the origins of the Land of Reincarnation were as straightforward as the G.o.d of Mount Tai creating it to further his dao. Could there be someone else pulling the strings from the shadows, just like the world of sequence? What else could it be used for?
Utilizing a world that constantly repeated its cycles to train the younger generation? That seemed… a bit too frivolous and wasteful.
He’d never had a chance to follow that line of reasoning through, and now he finally understood why the realm existed.
Mo Yi, the Dao King, Hongjun, Pang, and G.o.d had died countless times in the Land of Reincarnation, but they were always reborn and started from the beginning at each new loop.
Undying!
The power of reincarnation made them undying. Even when the loops were ended, Leize, f.u.xi, Wahuang, and Huaxu were resurrected from the h.e.l.l Tombs. This was likely a development that the true creator of Land of Reincarnation had long foreseen.
So it turned out that the G.o.d of Mount Tai and his dao partner were also unwitting p.a.w.ns in the hands of others. Just as the mountain G.o.d had schemed against his former friends, so were all of their efforts going to benefit someone else. Why did Lu Yun suddenly feel some… sympathy for the b.a.s.t.a.r.d?
Things had come to a preliminary end after Qiu Feishan collected the corporeal soul of the dark grand supreme. Lu Yun couldn’t think of anyone else these schemes within schemes might be targeting.
The land of darkness would have to respond after one of their grand supremes fell victim to the chief worlds. Both sides had placed their pieces on the game board, it was time to see which possessed the greater skill.
Lu Yun fully expected the land of darkness to react, but it didn’t fall within his purview to see how they retaliated. Supremes were only adults, and he was just a slightly stronger one. Adults should go about their business—not overly focus on extraordinary beings such as supremes and grand supremes.
Members of the Dark h.e.l.l of ghost souls and Ghost Sect walked out of their major worlds. Everyone felt the immeasurable relief of surviving certain death. If it wasn’t for Wahuang separating their major worlds with her ball of silk, they would’ve turned into endarkened the moment their worlds melded into the Dark World.
Ghost cultivators and the ghost race practiced the darkness, but they weren’t creatures of the dark. If they were, their thoughts would forever be silenced and they would lose their sense of self.
Lu Yun didn’t say anything to them; he opened the Gates of the Abyss.
“Lu Yun.” The sect master of the Ghost Sect looked at him with a ghastly pale face. “I said before that we could talk after you gave me the world heart!”
She knew that h.e.l.l lay behind the simple, ancient bronze doors. If they entered h.e.l.l now, they would become its denizens. But she still wanted to talk terms because she was a grand supreme. She needed to retain some dignity for herself even if she was to come under someone else’s banner, particularly in front of a crowd.
Nightmare looked on expressionlessly and ignored her mother’s transmission. Lu Yun also ignored her and instead looked to the master of the Ghost h.e.l.l. He was an ordinary-looking man in a black outfit and appeared quite nondescript. His eyes, however, were white—a sign that he was a ghost.
He was looking at You Haoyue’s head dangling from the big-headed doll’s hand. With a nod, he waved his hand and brought the numerous inhabitants of the Dark h.e.l.l through the Gates of the Abyss.
“Mother…” Nightmare finally spoke.

“Shut up.” The sect master coolly looked back at her. She’d sensed that Nightmare had switched to the immortal dao, that the ghostly force in her was under the immortal dao and not of the Ghost Sect.
“We go!” The sect master jerked her hand up. “There must be a place for us in the vast chief worlds! From this day forth, Nightmare and I are no longer mother and daughter! She is hereby deemed a traitor of the Ghost Sect and all those who cross paths with her are to kill her at all costs!”
“Understood!” roared the cultivators of the Ghost Sect. With that, the sect master disappeared with the hundreds of millions of her disciples.
Severing ties with Nightmare brought her the boon of Lu Yun showing her mercy this one time. Otherwise, with Wahuang, the big-headed doll, Moran Dongning, and the ghost ancestor present, it would be a trivial task to eliminate the Ghost Sect.
The sect master refused to swear allegiance to Lu Yun because she knew it was too late. She would now be under the firm hand of another instead of a valued partner. Since her archenemy had just given themselves to h.e.l.l and switched to immortal ghost dao, they would never be her enemy again. Without the existence of a mortal enemy, the sect master was confident that she could lead her sect and develop ghost dao to new heights.
The major worlds of the Ghost Sect and Dark h.e.l.l hovered in the void, circling around each other and centered on a certain point. That point was the seed of the new Dark World.
No one would be paying attention to it anymore. It was plainly a trap left by the peak grand supremes of the chief worlds. If another heavyweight from the land of darkness dared come, they would die a horrible death.
This was the chief worlds and the battlefield of its denizens. They were protected by six peak grand supremes. It was Qiu Feishan who had come this time, it might be Yun Yi or Tailong for the next transgression.
……
The ten Yama Kings occupied prominent positions in h.e.l.l and oversaw the domain from their palaces. Lu Yun hadn’t fas.h.i.+oned h.e.l.l into eighteen layers like the G.o.d of Mount Tai had envisioned. The eighteen layers and corresponding punishments were just locations to reward the good and punish the bad. They didn’t make h.e.l.l a true world and thus it wouldn’t coalesce the orders of h.e.l.l.
The Tome of Life and Death had given him the blueprint for what to do—Ten Yama Worlds!
Manifest ten Yama worlds in h.e.l.l so that they could become the true authority in the netherworld and craft the orders of h.e.l.l. The ten Yama Kings were the order of h.e.l.l!
Currently, they stood in ten different directions and focused on devouring the Dark World. They disa.s.sembled its power and incorporated it into h.e.l.l. The origin h.e.l.l changed once more, splitting into ten and slowly becoming ten major worlds. However, it still remained one h.e.l.l.
As h.e.l.l and the ten Yama Worlds evolved, so did Lu Yun’s strength increase. He began to approach high supreme, but he didn’t break through. He stopped when he was half a step away—Chu Xingran was here.
Despite himself, Lu Yun frowned to see a face that was nearly identical to the dark grand supreme. This was part of the reason why Yun Yi had chosen Chu Xingran, so… Xie Tianxun in h.e.l.l likely had a similarly impressive background.
“Three hundred and sixty-five major worlds.” Chu Xingran knew what was going on in Lu Yun’s mind, but he didn’t let it bother him. His cultivation was twenty-eight levels of immortal dao sequence!
So he had switched to immortal dao as well.
“We have conquered three hundred and sixty-five major worlds all the way from the Land of Reincarnation to Huangpang,” he chuckled. “Your prowess in the Dark World scared off anyone in the chief worlds who would stop us. Many major worlds even surrendered without us doing anything.”
