Entering the Netherworld?

The middle-aged man felt a chill run down his spine.

Although his strength had reached the upper-level Saint King realm, making him a top expert in the Great World of Living Beings, the Netherworld was full of ghost cultivators. What was more problematic was that the strength of living beings was greatly suppressed when they entered the Netherworld. At that time, he would be lucky to be able to exert the strength of the middle-level Saint King realm, or even less, and could only exert the strength of the lower-level Saint King realm.

If he had encountered a Saint King level cultivator from the Netherworld at that time, how would he have fared well?

In particular, at this moment, he couldn't help but think of the Blood Emperor, the top ghost cultivator from the Netherworld who had caused such a stir in the Great World of Living Beings. Back then, in the World of Living Beings, it was unknown whether the Blood Emperor's strength was suppressed, but he was still able to fight against three peak Saint King beings without being at a disadvantage.

Finally, he even earned the reputation of slaying ten thousand saints with a single sword.

If he were to enter the Netherworld and encounter a ghost cultivator like the Blood Emperor, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from him.

He naturally dared not enter the Netherworld.

Only when a ghost cultivator at the Saint King level from the Netherworld enters the Great World of Living Beings will they have a chance...

According to the information he received, the Saint King-level ghost cultivator who broke into this universe seemed to be a Saint King-level ghost cultivator of considerable strength, but in this universe, he could only exert the strength of a typical Saint King-level cultivator...

This is a tremendous opportunity!

If he obtains that ghost cultivator's crystal core, his strength will definitely improve even further!

This is extremely precious for someone at the level of a superior saint king!

Now, it seems that this opportunity is gone!

The middle-aged man's expression shifted repeatedly. Suddenly, he noticed Lin Yun's smile and sensed a hint of mockery. Anger flared within him, and he said coldly, "You killed them? Do you know how much of an opportunity you cost me? Compared to the opportunities I lost, those few ghost cultivators you killed were far inferior."

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely terrifying aura rose from his body and quickly enveloped Lin Yun and his group.

"What opportunity you lost has nothing to do with me? If you want to kill ghost cultivators, there are plenty in the Netherworld. You don't dare to enter the Netherworld yourself, so are you looking for someone else to vent your anger on?" Lin Yun sneered.

In his previous life, he was both the Blood Emperor of the Netherworld and Ling Tian of the Living World. One reached the peak of the Netherworld, and the other was a Saint King-level cultivator in the Living World. No one understood the differences between the Netherworld and the Living World better than him.

How could he not know what this superior Saint King-level being was thinking?

"Boom!"

As he spoke, Lin Yun unleashed a powerful aura and launched a rapid counterattack against the middle-aged man. Although he was only at the intermediate Saint King level, the power of Lin Yun's domain was no less than that of this superior Saint King.

"Um?"

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man trembled slightly, his face filled with disbelief.

He never expected that this young man, who was only a mid-level Saint King, could unleash such powerful domain power.

The strength of a cultivator's domain power can, in some ways, indicate their overall strength.

Now, the domain power used by this mid-level Saint King youth is no less than his, which shows that even if this mid-level Saint King youth's strength is weak, it won't be that bad.

Nine times out of ten, their strength is no less than that of a Saint King...

He is at the intermediate Saint King level, yet possesses strength no weaker than that of a Saint King.

This human boy's strength is simply a bit too heaven-defying!

If he were to break through to the Saint King realm in the future, what would become of him?

"This is……"

Just then, the middle-aged man suddenly noticed an aura emanating from Lin Yun. He raised an eyebrow and said softly, "The aura of this universe? Are you a native powerhouse of this universe? And... you can actually mobilize so much spatial power of this universe, and the aura of the origin power of the two realms on your body... Could it be that you broke through the last heaven of this universe?"

"boom--"

Just then, the two people's domain power collided, and the entire space underwent a tremendous change. Just as the middle-aged man had sensed, the other party's domain power was no less than his, and in fact, it was even slightly stronger.

"Retreat now, and I'll spare your life!" Lin Yun said coldly, staring at the Saint King-level being.

At this moment, Lin Yun didn't want to say anything more to this Saint King-level being, because he vaguely sensed the aura of a cultivator outside this universe. That cultivator seemed to possess the aura of this universe, and that cultivator was hesitating whether to come in. He vaguely felt that he could obtain some important information from that cultivator.

Naturally, he didn't want to get entangled with this superior Saint King-level being at this time.

"Retreat now, and I'll spare your life? Ha! You can break through the last layer of this living universe, your strength and talent are indeed extraordinary. However, if you think you're invincible, then you're too ignorant! It's good that I came all this way without encountering those Saint King-level ghost cultivators. Killing you and obtaining the power of the two realms' origin from you won't be a wasted trip..."

Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, the middle-aged man laughed angrily and said...

"Since that's the case, then you can die!" Lin Yun was too lazy to say anything more to this middle-aged man. Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, the Blood Prison Sword had already appeared in his hand, and he slashed fiercely at the middle-aged man.

"Boom!"

A powerful sword aura instantly reached the middle-aged man and shattered countless layers of defense.

"What?" The middle-aged man was shocked and quickly stepped back.

He never expected that this young, mid-level Saint King would actually make a move so suddenly.

I never expected that this young Saint King would be so powerful, slicing through so many defensive layers I had created with a single sword strike. Even a cultivator at the mid-level Saint King realm would find it difficult to do that!

This young mediocre Saint King's strength actually surpasses that of a mediocre Saint King?

Even if this young man has broken through the last barrier of this universe and his strength and talent are monstrous, isn't this just too monstrous?

"Indeed, any cultivator who breaks through one of the last three heavens of a universe should not be underestimated, especially since this universe is a thirty-six-heaven universe, and this cultivator broke through the last heaven of this universe, and moreover, it was within this universe..." The middle-aged man gasped inwardly, telling himself.

This time, he was careless. He didn't expect the boy to be so strong. Fortunately, it hasn't caused too much damage yet. It's not too late for him to take it seriously.

At this moment, he still did not believe that Lin Yun's strength could threaten him. In his opinion, Lin Yun's strength was so great because it was also closely related to their existence in this universe.

After a cultivator broke through a new heaven in a universe, this cultivator also became the chosen one of the universe's destinies, especially since he broke through one of the universe's last three heavens.

Thus, this cultivator was able to wield various powers in this universe with ease, as if aided by divine intervention.

In his view, Lin Yun had broken through the last barrier of this universe, so it was normal for his strength to be greatly amplified within this universe.

However, the ability of a mid-level Saint King to exert power exceeding that of a mid-level Saint King should have reached its limit.

"Medium Saint King power? Very good..." A sharp glint flashed deep in the middle-aged man's eyes.

So what if one possesses the power of a mid-level Saint King? So what if one's power surpasses that of a mid-level Saint King?

Ultimately, it's not a normal intermediate Saint King realm...

Their combat awareness, reaction time, and so on are probably much worse than those of a normal intermediate Saint King or even an ordinary Saint King!

In terms of vitality and so on, they are worlds apart!

If the opponent attacks him, they might not be able to hit him once he pays attention. Even if they do hit him, they might not be able to break through his defenses. And even if they do break through his defenses, they might not be able to cause him much damage!

Conversely, if he breaks through the opponent's defense, he can extinguish much of the opponent's life force in one move, and kill the opponent in several moves. How can the two be compared?

"Good! Very good! No wonder you chased away those ghost cultivators. With your strength, even a Saint King-level ghost cultivator wouldn't be able to kill you. If this drags on, it will attract the true powerhouses of the Great World of Living Beings. At that time, you might not be able to escape!"

"Since you drove away those ghost cultivators, then you shall pay with your life!"

Those were just fleeting thoughts of the middle-aged man. At this moment, the middle-aged man gave a cold laugh and said.

"Buzz!"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man stretched out his hand, and a black axe appeared in his hand. At this moment, he had already imagined how much he would gain after killing Lin Yun.

"The power of the origin of two realms, or even the power of the origin of two realms that can break through the last level of a thirty-six-heaven universe. My luck is not bad. I hope it won't disappoint me later..." the middle-aged man thought to himself.

"boom!"

As he was thinking this, the middle-aged man swung his axe at Lin Yun and his group. The powerful aura was like the creation of heaven and earth, and a large spatial rift was cleaved in the space.

The strength of a superior saint king is thus evident.

"Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable!" Lin Yun shook his head slightly.

Just now, he unleashed a powerful attack, thinking that this superior Saint King would retreat after seeing his strength. After all, he had demonstrated strength exceeding that of an average mid-level Saint King, and this Saint King-level cultivator was only at the superior Saint King level, so he couldn't do anything to him.

Unexpectedly, after seeing his strength, this superior saint king became even more determined to kill him. He truly wanted to kill him... Lin Yun had a very close connection with the power of the universe's origin. As long as he was in this universe, he could easily sense the general thoughts of some people.

Moreover, this superior Saint King cultivator, perhaps out of confidence or something, did not make any special effort to hide his thoughts.

This superior Saint King cultivator harbored murderous intent towards them from the very beginning, which was one of the reasons why Lin Yun launched a powerful counterattack. Now, with the opponent's killing intent even stronger, they were practically courting death.

Many of a person's thoughts are formed in a single moment.

Initially, this person harbored murderous intent towards them, but Lin Yun was merely annoyed and did not sentence him to death. If this person eventually withdrew his murderous intent, he might be willing to let him go.

But now, there's no need for that.

"laugh!"

With a thought, Lin Yun used the Heavenly Dao Tower to collect everyone, and at the same time, he teleported to the side of this superior Saint King and slashed fiercely at him with his sword.

This sword strike was more than twice as powerful as the previous one.

"Boom—"

As the middle-aged man's black axe attack missed, Lin Yun's sword struck him once more.

The previous sword strike had severely damaged the defensive layer surrounding the middle-aged man, and before it could recover much, this sword strike landed, completely destroying the remaining defensive layer, and then the sword struck the middle-aged man squarely.

A flash of blood appeared, but it was quickly absorbed by the Blood Prison Sword.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

The Blood Prison Sword emitted a dazzling crimson light and exuded an extremely excited aura. The essence and power of a superior Saint King greatly benefited it, and Lin Yun's power also increased accordingly.

"not good!"

The middle-aged man's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

The opponent's sudden teleportation was completely unexpected.

The power exerted was much stronger, breaking through his defenses and striking him. Moreover, the damage to his life force caused by the opponent's attack far exceeded his expectations, no less than the damage to his life force caused by a normal high-level Saint King's attack, and even many times stronger.

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

This time, Lin Yun did not hold back. Ignoring the middle-aged man's reaction, he quickly slashed at the man with two more sword strikes.

"Buzz—"

The Blood Prison Sword released a dazzling light, almost illuminating the entire space. Countless blood-red sword shadows covered the middle-aged man, continuously inflicting wounds on him. The Blood Prison Sword's aura grew stronger and stronger.

"This human boy's power is terrifying, surpassing even that of a superior Saint King. His combat awareness, reflexes, and so on are all on par, even stronger than mine. Does such a terrifying combat genius truly exist in this world? Even if he broke through the final barrier of this universe, even within this universe, how could he unleash such terrifying strength..."

The middle-aged man began to panic, finding it utterly unbelievable.

But now he could no longer believe it; the facts were unfolding before his eyes, forcing him to accept them.

His life force was waning much faster than he had imagined, while the damage he caused to the other party was almost negligible.

Previously, he had imagined the situation to be completely reversed.

"This can't go on any longer. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll die here..." The next moment, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth, turned around, and rushed quickly towards the outside of this universe.

He escaped!

Although it's embarrassing, what's the point of saving face? Life is more important!

Having lived for countless years and reached this point, he deeply understands the importance of preserving one's life!

No matter how great the benefits or how much face you have, nothing is more important than saving your life!

Only by preserving his life can he go further!

"Now you want to leave? Don't you think it's too late?" Lin Yun said in a deep voice, a cold glint in his eyes.

call!

As he spoke, Lin Yun flashed away and chased after the middle-aged man.

If the other party leaves before things turn sour, then let it go.

Since we've turned against each other, we should completely crush them.

Otherwise, if the snake isn't killed, it will cause endless trouble.

He was well aware of this.
