At this moment, Saint King Rosen was in a very conflicted mood. On the one hand, the shadow left on him by the Blood Emperor back then made him dare not regard the Blood Emperor as an enemy. Even if Lin Yun was just the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor, he still dared not make a move against Lin Yun!

On the other hand, Bai Di's words were a constant threat to him. If he did not listen to Bai Di and join forces to deal with the reincarnation of Xue Di, then he would likely face certain death!

Would the Blood Emperor really care about his life or death?

The image of the Blood Emperor slaying ten thousand saints with a single sword strike, and countless lives falling beneath his blade, flashed through his mind once more…

So many living beings, so many powerful beings, yet the Blood Emperor slaughtered them like chickens and dogs. He simply couldn't believe that the Blood Emperor would care about his life!

If the Blood Emperor had given him a promise... given the prestige the Blood Emperor had left behind, he might have believed it... But the Blood Emperor's expression was completely indifferent, and he didn't say a word, which made him extremely uneasy!

Meanwhile, inside the Heavenly Dao Tower space.

"Damn it... This Saint King Rosen was actually persuaded by this White Emperor..." the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower exclaimed in anger.

Previously, it intended to explain Lin Yun's allegiance to Saint King Rosen, but before it could even send a telepathic message to Saint King Rosen, Lin Yun attacked him, forcing it to abandon its plan.

"Lin Yun is not the Blood Emperor..." True Martial Saint Monarch frowned and said in a low voice.

They knew that Lin Yun had impersonated the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor to intimidate the White Emperor, but unexpectedly, he had become one of the reasons why the White Emperor persuaded Saint King Rosen.

Now, they couldn't very well tell King Rosen about this.

Because letting Saint King Rosen know that Lin Yun is not the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor might not be a good thing. Right now, Saint King Rosen's hesitation is most likely because he is hesitant about Lin Yun's identity as the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor.

Judging from how highly King Rosen praised the Blood Emperor just now, he must have been very respectful and wary of the Blood Emperor's strength.

If he knew that Lin Yun was not the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor, and he had no more reservations, who knows if he would be more at ease dealing with Lin Yun?

Judging from how Saint King Rosen begged for mercy from Bai Di and Lin Yun just now, they didn't believe that Saint King Rosen would not join Bai Di in dealing with Lin Yun just because they were both cultivators from the living realm!

In particular, Lin Yun just attacked Saint King Rosen. Who knows if Saint King Rosen harbors any resentment?

"How is it?" At this moment, the White Emperor lost patience and asked coldly.

For some reason, as Lin Yun's aura grew stronger, its unease intensified. If this Saint King-level being hesitated any longer, Lin Yun might finish his cultivation. It was better for it to act decisively now, kill this Saint King-level being cleanly and efficiently, and then deal with Lin Yun alone.

In that case, although its chances of success would be slightly lower, it wouldn't have to worry about whether this Saint King-level being would rebel.

If, at this time, another Saint King-level being, or even a stronger Saint King-level being, were to appear, it would be even more troublesome.

Thinking this, the White Emperor's gaze toward Saint King Rosen once again overflowed with murderous intent.

This gaze startled King Rosen. He wasn't an idiot and immediately knew that the White Emperor had reached his limit. If he didn't make a decisive decision soon, he would probably be attacked and killed by the White Emperor with all his might.

"I...I'll fight you to the death..." King Rosen said with a forced smile. As he finished speaking, a powerful aura suddenly erupted, and he rushed towards the White Emperor.

In the end, he still chose to take action against Bai Di.

"Rosen's Hands..." Powerful hands appeared out of thin air, like shadows yet also like solid matter, rapidly attacking Bai Di.

"Very well! Your fate will prove your stupidity!" Bai Di sneered coldly, speaking in a sinister tone.

"boom!"

As he spoke, a claw shot out, and countless white bone claws reached out to grab at the illusory hand shapes. Each white bone claw exuded a powerful aura.

"Boom!"

The two sides attacked at a rapid pace. The next moment, their attacks collided, naturally causing another huge wave. If the thirty-sixth heaven of this universe had not just been broken, and various spatial aspects were rapidly merging with the power of heaven and earth of the Great World of Living Beings, making the strength of this space unprecedentedly powerful, this space would have been shattered beyond recognition.

Even so, this space was still riddled with black cracks, each crack radiating a terrifying aura. It's estimated that even a high-level or peak Saint King wouldn't dare to touch it lightly.

This also shows just how powerful the aftershocks of the battle between two Saint King-level combatants really are.

After just a few moves, Saint King Rosen's face turned deathly pale, and his body kept retreating.

At this moment, the power that the White Emperor used was indeed far greater than before, which made it very difficult for him to resist.

"die!"

A few minutes later, the life force of Saint King Rosen was severely damaged, and his aura and strength were extremely weak. However, the White Emperor's aura suddenly surged, and he quickly flashed towards Saint King Rosen, while coldly shouting.

"boom!"

At the same time, an even more powerful skeletal claw reached for the head of Saint King Rosen.

"It's over!"

As the skeletal hand swiftly reached out, a look of despair flashed in the eyes of Holy King Rosen.

At this moment, his vitality and strength were extremely weak, and he could not dodge such a powerful palm strike.

He could roughly sense that if he were hit by this palm, even if he didn't die, he would definitely have no power to resist, and it would only take two or three moves to finish him off.

For experts of their caliber, how fast are two or three moves? Probably not even a second!

So... he's doomed...

If there is no power to intervene!

Thinking this, Saint King Rosen glanced at Lin Yun not far away out of the corner of his eye.

Lin Yun was still cultivating with his eyes closed, looking completely calm.

King Rosen smiled bitterly to himself.

The other party really doesn't care about their own life!

Do you regret it?

Perhaps, a little bit!

But what's the use of regretting it now?

At the last moment, Holy King Rosen closed his eyes.

"clang!"

However, the expected attack did not hit him; instead, a metallic clang rang out in front of him.

King Rosen opened his eyes.

A young man in white robes stood before him, wielding a blood-red longsword, confronting the White Emperor.

"The Blood Emperor has made his move... He really has..."

King Rosen was overjoyed and excited.

He never expected that at the most critical moment, when he was facing life and death, Lin Yun would actually make a move.

In his eyes, Lin Yun was the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor, which meant that the Blood Emperor had taken action for him. The Blood Emperor was such a heaven-defying figure... that he would actually take action for him, an ordinary Saint King. Even though the Blood Emperor was once a powerful ghost cultivator in the Netherworld, and ghost cultivators and living beings were opposing camps, he still couldn't help but feel a great sense of honor.

"You...you've broken through to the intermediate Saint King realm..." The White Emperor's expression changed drastically as he looked at Lin Yun before him, his voice trembling slightly.

It wouldn't even consider an ordinary cultivator at the mid-level Saint King realm a threat!

However, this human boy is not an ordinary cultivator. He is a cultivator who can rival a peak Saint King when he is at the peak Saint level, and rival a low-level Saint King when he is at the low-level Saint King level!

Now that Lin Yun has broken through to the intermediate Saint King level, there is a high probability that he will possess power comparable to that of an intermediate Saint King!

Furthermore, Lin Yun is the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor... What kind of person was the Blood Emperor in his previous life, and now he possesses such power, what can he possibly do to the other party?

At this moment, the White Emperor felt immense regret!

At this moment, he finally understood that the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor... did not have any powerful trump cards, or rather, his greatest trump card was the ability to rapidly improve his cultivation level!

In just a few days, it watched Lin Yun break through from the Upper Saint Realm to the Middle Saint King Realm. Even more so, Lin Yun broke through from the Lower Saint King Realm to the Middle Saint King Realm in less than half an hour. What a terrifying speed of advancement!

Even if he were injured, the speed at which he could recover his strength probably wouldn't be this fast!

It was shocked and frightened by the monstrous speed at which Lin Yun was advancing in his cultivation level!

If... it hadn't hesitated or doubted beforehand, and had attacked Lin Yun directly back then, how strong would Lin Yun be, given that he was only at the Upper Saint realm?

Perhaps it will soon end this battle and obtain the opportunity from Lin Yun!

A single misjudgment caused it to miss a tremendous opportunity!

How could it not feel regret at this moment?

"The Blood Emperor is indeed the Blood Emperor. Even after reincarnation, he is still so powerful. He just broke through to the lower-level Saint King realm, and now he has broken through to the middle-level Saint King realm..." On the other side, Saint King Rosen said excitedly.

When he was on the verge of death, the Blood Emperor saved him, which means that the Blood Emperor kept his promise and did not disregard his life. Therefore, he did not need to worry about his life being in danger after the Blood Emperor killed or drove away the White Emperor.

Therefore, the stronger the Blood Emperor is, the better.

The stronger he is, the more secure his life is.

At this moment, even King Rosen felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, he wasn't swayed by the White Emperor and didn't attack the Blood Emperor.

In just about ten minutes, the Blood Emperor rose from the lower-level Saint King to the middle-level Saint King... Who knows, will the Blood Emperor soon rise to the upper-level Saint King, or even the peak Saint King?

What terrifying power must the Blood Emperor have possessed back then?

Or perhaps, just now the Blood Emperor seemed completely indifferent to whether he was on the White Emperor's side.

They weren't afraid of him siding with the White Emperor at all... because, regardless of whether he sided with the White Emperor or not, the Blood Emperor was confident in dealing with them.

Thinking this, King Rosen felt even more terrified.

If that's the case, then his decision just now truly was a life-or-death decision.

He didn't believe that if he and the White Emperor joined forces but couldn't defeat the Blood Emperor, the White Emperor would help him withstand the Blood Emperor's attacks and allow him to escape first.

It's already a miracle that the White Emperor didn't use him to block the Blood Emperor's advance.

If he had stood with Bai Di just now, he would have been doomed.

Inside the Heavenly Path Tower space.

"Lin Yun has actually broken through to the intermediate Saint King realm?"

"This is outrageous! This is outrageous! Breaking through the thirty-sixth level of a universe can actually bring such great benefits? This is simply too incredible!"

"Great! We're saved!"

The spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower and the group of True Martial Saint Lord were all shocked and excited when they saw this scene.

“Hundreds of millions of years have passed, and even the thirty-sixth heaven of the Netherworld has been broken, eventually giving birth to nine powerful emperors. Someone of your strength can actually become one of the nine emperors and be ranked alongside me. Is the Netherworld really that weak now?” Outside the Heavenly Dao Tower, Lin Yun glanced at the White Emperor with an indifferent expression and said calmly.

"You..." Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, the White Emperor's face turned ugly, and he quickly became angry, shouting, "Blood Emperor, I respect your strength in your past life, but you were also a member of the Netherworld's ghost cultivators back then. Is it meaningful to humiliate the strength of the Netherworld like this?"

"Humiliation? I'm just stating the facts!" Lin Yun shook his head and said.

"Knowing I am the Blood Emperor, you still dare to plot against me. You've got some nerve. Go all out and let me see the true strength of one of the Nine Emperors of the Netherworld!" After a pause, Lin Yun stared at the White Emperor with a cold glint in his eyes and said.

"Buzz!"

As he spoke, Lin Yun stretched out his right hand, and the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand once again emitted a dazzling blood-red light and trembled excitedly.

"Old buddy, it's been a long time since we fought side by side. Let's rekindle our former glory!" Lin Yun looked down at the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand, a trace of vicissitude and nostalgia flashing across his face, and murmured softly.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

The Bloodthirsty Sword trembled violently, and its entire blade turned a deep crimson.

"Buzz"

Suddenly, a special crimson power was released from the depths of the Bloodthirsty Sword, quickly enveloping Lin Yun. The auras of Lin Yun and the Bloodthirsty Sword began to merge rapidly.

Inside the Heavenly Path Tower space.

"What...what's going on?" Zhenwu Saint Monarch asked in shock. Although he didn't understand, he guessed that something big seemed to have happened between Lin Yun and the Bloodthirsty Sword.

"The Bloodthirsty Sword has begun to recognize Lin Yun as its master!" the Heavenly Dao Tower's artifact spirit exclaimed excitedly. As an artifact spirit, and a high-level one at that, it naturally noticed the changes that had occurred between Lin Yun and the Bloodthirsty Sword.

The Bloodthirsty Sword is of an extremely high level. The fact that it has recognized Lin Yun as its master is no small matter. This is a true recognition of its master, which means that Lin Yun no longer needs to worry about the Bloodthirsty Sword turning against him. Lin Yun can use the Bloodthirsty Sword more easily. In terms of amplifying his strength, it can at least double.

Now that Lin Yun has broken through to the intermediate Saint King realm and the Bloodthirsty Sword has recognized him as its master, he should be even more confident in dealing with the White Emperor's attacks!

As for Lin Yun's domineering words to Bai Di, although they heard them, they didn't really believe them.

In their view, Lin Yun was playing the role of the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor, mainly to scare away the White Emperor.

But now, Lin Yun truly possesses the strength to confront the White Emperor.

"Not good! We can't wait any longer!" On the other side, the White Emperor's expression changed drastically upon seeing this scene, and it whispered.

At this moment, it realized that every bit of time it delayed would greatly increase Lin Yun's strength... It couldn't wait any longer, otherwise, the situation would become increasingly unfavorable to it!
