"Boom..."

Just as Lin Yun broke through the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe, a great tremor occurred throughout the entire universe.

"What happened?"

"It seems like the world has changed?"

"It seems to be the kind of change that happened a few years ago; the environment of this universe is about to improve..."

"Thank God, our universe has suffered a catastrophe, but Heaven has not abandoned us, and our cosmic environment has been improving one after another..."

"Could this be a case of great opportunity arising from great crisis?"

Because of the invasion of the ghost cultivators from the Netherworld, many of the original top forces and top experts in this universe are also having a hard time. At this moment, they look up at the changes in the entire universe and are excited.

"Excellent! I've absorbed over a dozen super-realm ghost cultivator cores, and I'm just lacking an opportunity to break through to the intermediate Saint realm. Now, that opportunity has appeared, and I'm sure I can break through to the intermediate Saint realm. Once I break through, my clan's chances of survival will greatly increase..." In a secluded place, a three-eyed human being at the lower Saint realm was cultivating with his eyes closed. Behind him, groups of three-eyed humans were also cultivating cross-legged. Suddenly, this lower Saint realm being opened his three eyes and exclaimed in delight.

...

At the two passages connecting this universe to the Netherworld, the four lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators guarded the two passages, able to observe the situation in this universe while retreating to the Netherworld at any time.

In fact, after they left the Heavenly Dao Tower that day, they realized something was wrong.

Lin Yun's strength is likely inferior to theirs.

It's even possible that Lin Yun isn't the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor; perhaps he merely obtained information about the Blood Emperor from the Blood Prison Sword and mimicked the Blood Emperor's fighting style.

However, they dare not gamble.

If Lin Yun is indeed the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor and truly possesses the means to annihilate them, but simply did not use them at the time, then for them to return would be suicidal.

They were also afraid. If they continued to deal with Lin Yun, even if Lin Yun's strength was inferior to theirs, he might as well not return to the Heavenly Dao Tower. Not only would it be difficult for them to find Lin Yun again, but if Lin Yun broke into the Netherworld through one of the two passages connecting this universe and the Netherworld, given the vastness of the Netherworld, it would be even more difficult for them to find Lin Yun again.

Ghost cultivators can enter the universe of living beings through the passage, and living beings can naturally enter the Netherworld through the passage.

At that time, if they wanted to tell any Saint King-level ghost cultivator about this place, they would lose a major advantage.

There are two passages connecting this universe to the underworld, which is both an advantage and a weakness.

Among them, there were only five Saint-level Ghost Cultivators.

Four of them were lower-ranking saints, and only one was a middle-ranking saint.

Unless the five of them—three lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators blocking one passage, and one lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivator and one middle-level Saint King-level ghost cultivator blocking the other passage—it would be impossible to prevent Lin Yun from entering the Netherworld through any particular passage.

Otherwise, Lin Yun has already reached a certain level of power, and even two lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators cannot be 100% confident in blocking him.

However, if the five Saint-level ghost cultivators were all blocking the two passages, none of them would be able to deal with Lin Yun. With Lin Yun's strength, basically any ghost cultivator entering this universe would become Lin Yun's "food," and the entire universe would become Lin Yun's hunting ground for growth.

As time goes by, Lin Yun's strength will increase rapidly. Before long, even if Lin Yun is not the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor and has no other means, they may not be his match.

This is a choice that leads to certain death.

Therefore, they only have one choice left...

That was the choice they had agreed upon long ago.

The three-headed dog ghost cultivator at the intermediate Saint King level entered the Netherworld to contact the Saint King level ghost cultivator. The four lower Saint King level ghost cultivators guarded two passages respectively, preventing Lin Yun from leaving this universe.

Each passage was guarded by two lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators, plus countless powerful Super Realm ghost cultivators, who should be able to barely hold off Lin Yun.

Their analysis suggests that it's unlikely Lin Yun would abandon this cosmic being and enter the Netherworld.

The Netherworld is home to countless ghost cultivators, many of whom are powerful. Living beings are considered the ultimate delicacy by these ghost cultivators, and it is extremely dangerous for living beings to enter the Netherworld. From a safety perspective, Lin Yun would not easily enter the Netherworld.

Therefore, the four lower-level Saint King ghost cultivators were somewhat at ease guarding the two passages.

They also sensed the commotion caused by Lin Yun breaking the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe.

"This commotion... could it be that the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe has been broken?"

"Judging from the information coming from over there, it seems that Lin Yun has broken through the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe! How is that possible? Once a new heaven of a living universe is broken by a living being, the difficulty for that living being to break through another new heaven of that living universe will increase exponentially! This Lin Yun, didn't he already break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe? Now, he has broken through the thirty-fifth heaven?"

Several lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators trembled, their faces filled with shock.

“That Li Er broke through more than a dozen heavens in this universe. The Blood Emperor back then also broke through eight heavens in the Netherworld. Lin Yun is in this universe and possesses the Blood Emperor’s Blood Prison Sword. He may even be the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor. It’s not surprising that he broke through two heavens in a row. It’s just that only a few years have passed…” After a moment, a low-level Saint King Ghost Cultivator took a deep breath and said with trembling in his heart.

This is incredible! This is incredible!

After Lin Yun broke through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe, his strength grew to be comparable to theirs in a short time. Now, he has broken through the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe. What level of strength will he reach now? Given more time, what level will he grow to?

"yes!"

"I wonder what level of strength Lin Yun has reached?"

"Fortunately, Brother Ao acted decisively and went to contact that Saint King-level expert. He'll be back soon. Otherwise, the rest of us would be no match for Lin Yun and would probably be hunted down and devoured by him one by one..."

Several lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators all wore solemn expressions.

Brother Mastiff is coming back soon, but we don't know if he will make it back in time, or if he can bring back an even more powerful ghost cultivator. If he doesn't make it back in time, or if he doesn't bring back an even more powerful ghost cultivator, what should we do with them?

"Tell Brother Ao about what happened here first..." a low-level Saint King-level ghost cultivator said quickly.

call--

Just then, two figures appeared in a passageway.

"Oh? The thirty-fifth heaven of this universe was actually broken by that Lin Yun?"

A soft laugh rang out, the tone suggesting the discovery of something quite interesting.

"What?"

"who?"

Upon hearing this voice, the two lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators guarding the passage were startled. They quickly turned around and shouted, while at the same time, two powerful auras suddenly rose from their bodies.

"Brother Mu, Brother Niu, stop immediately! This is Lord White Bone..." A ghostly figure hurriedly blocked the two lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators and shouted loudly.

This ghostly figure was none other than the three-headed dog, a mid-level Saint King-level ghost cultivator who had left earlier.

"Brother Mastiff?"

"You're back?"

Upon seeing the three-headed dog demon cultivator blocking their way, the two lower-level Saint King-level demon cultivators were initially startled, but then breathed a sigh of relief.

During this time, the two low-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators guarded this passage. It would be impossible for them not to be afraid at all, especially after seeing that Lin Yun had most likely broken through the thirty-fifth level of this universe. This made them even more terrified, fearing that Lin Yun might rush over at any moment.

Now that they saw the three-headed dog, a mid-level Saint King-level ghost cultivator, return, they felt much more at ease.

However, they soon noticed what the three-headed dog had said.

Lord Bones?

They were startled.

Could it be that the Saint King-level ghost cultivator who is addressing the three-headed dog ghost cultivator as "Master" has arrived?

To be honest, when the three-headed dog ghost cultivator went to contact that Saint King-level ghost cultivator, it did not tell them which Saint King-level ghost cultivator it was. The three-headed dog ghost cultivator seemed to be afraid of offending that Saint King-level ghost cultivator.

Therefore, they were also unsure of the name of that Saint King-level ghost cultivator, or whether he was Bai Gu.

Thinking this, they immediately looked up in the direction indicated by the three-headed dog demon cultivator's gaze, and their hearts tightened once again.

The three-headed dog-like ghost cultivator who indicated the direction was indeed extraordinary. Although he did not release any aura, they felt extremely terrified at just one glance.

It was also because this powerful ghost cultivator hadn't released any aura that they hadn't sensed him.

"Xiao Mu greets Lord White Bone!"

"Little Ox greets Lord White Bone!"

Two lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators bowed to this powerful ghost cultivator, speaking with great respect and courtesy.

The Netherworld is also a world where the strong are respected, and they didn't feel awkward at all.

"No need for formalities. Your discovery of the Blood Emperor's reincarnation is a great achievement. Once this matter is settled, you will serve under me, and this universe of living beings will be under your management..." Lord White Bone, in human form and with an extremely charming and handsome appearance, glanced at the two lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators, and said with a slight smile.

"Thank you so much, Lord White Bone! Thank you so much, Lord White Bone!"

Upon hearing Lord White Bone's words, the three-headed dog demon cultivator became extremely excited, kneeling down and bowing all three of its heads.

The two lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators were also very excited and immediately knelt down to pay their respects.

This result is arguably the best outcome they had envisioned. Now that it has come true, how could they not be happy?

"By the way, Lord White Bone, that human named Lin Yun might not be the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor..." Just then, the minotaur suddenly remembered something, raised his head, and said nervously, his stubbornness acting up again.

However, it wasn't without reason that it revealed this. The Bone Lord said that their discovery of the Blood Emperor's reincarnation was a great achievement, and it feared that if Lin Yun wasn't the Blood Emperor's reincarnation, the Bone Lord might become disappointed and anger them again.

It's best to clarify this matter first.

"Hehe, you don't understand the difficulty of breaking through the second of the last three heavens of a living universe. Lin Yun not only did it, but he did it when he was only thirty or forty years old. In addition, the Blood Prison Sword is in his hands. He is most likely the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor..." Lord White Bone chuckled, and a sharp light flashed in the depths of his eyes as he spoke softly.

At this moment, its mood was one of unparalleled joy.

The three-headed dog, despite being a Saint-level ghost cultivator, still knew relatively little.

They only know that it is relatively difficult to break through a new layer of a living universe, and once one layer is broken through, it is many, many times more difficult to break through the next new layer.

It is almost impossible for ordinary living beings to do this.

Little did they know, there were some clever tricks to achieve this.

Just as the three-headed dog demon had told him before, this universe once gave birth to a human powerhouse named Li Er, who led a group of people to break through more than a dozen heavens in this universe.

It is very difficult for a single being to break through a new level of a universe. Once it does, it is almost certainly the most brilliant and outstanding figure of that era, even leading many generations. But Li Er led a group of people to break through more than a dozen levels of this universe in succession, which shows how amazing he was.

However, this White Bone Lord did not take Li Er seriously.

Because it knew that Li Er had only used a trick.

It's said that Li Er seems to be a reincarnated powerful being from the outside world, which makes it even less surprising.

However, the final three heavens of a universe cannot be broken through by any shortcuts; one must break through them alone using one's own power.

Breaking through a new realm of a living universe, obtaining the primal power of that universe, and even a trace of the primal power of the outside world, will increase the life force, cultivation speed, and so on of that living being.

They can be said to have become the chosen ones of this universe in an instant, and even in the outside world, they will receive some kind of mysterious benefit.

However, in the eyes of this Bone Lord, or rather, in the eyes of many powerful beings of its level, those who merely broke through the first layer of a universe, or even those who broke through multiple layers of a universe, were nothing more than false chosen ones.

The benefits gained from breaking through any one of the final three heavens of a universe far surpass the combined benefits of breaking through all the previous heavens.

Only those beings who break through one of the last three heavens of a universe can be called the true chosen ones of this universe.

This power of destiny brings immense benefits even in the outside world. Therefore, once such a person arrives in the outside world, as long as they don't perish along the way, they will eventually become a renowned and powerful being.

Such great benefits naturally...

The final three heavens of a universe, each one extremely difficult to break through!

To break through two of the last three heavens of a universe is to be a genius among geniuses, an amazing feat among amazing feats!

In particular, this universe is a universe with thirty-six heavens!

"As far as I know, in the vast world outside, among countless living beings and universes, very few can achieve this. And to do it in such a short time... apart from the Blood Emperor of the Netherworld back then, who could have done it, the one who amazed countless ghost cultivators?" Lord White Bone said softly.

A faint, almost imperceptible aura emanated from it, preventing its voice from carrying out.

"If this Lin Yun is not the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor... that would be even better. It would mean that the legend is true, and that the Blood Prison Sword truly has the ability to help people break through to a new level. If I obtain the Blood Prison Sword, who in the entire Netherworld will be my opponent?" After a pause, Lord White Bone licked his lips, his tone slightly excited.

At this moment, it was truly excited, very excited.
