“The other soul is relatively weak and will need a longer time to fully grow. However, compared to the most difficult step, this step takes negligible time, at least three to five months, and at most three to five years…” Lin Yun said softly.

Three to five months, or three to five years, are indeed insignificant compared to cultivators of their level, and are also negligible compared to the long span of one hundred million years.

"I'll be cultivating in this universe during this time..." Lin Yun closed his eyes.

"Boom—"

The power of heaven and earth once again fell upon Lin Yun, rapidly surging into his body. At the same time, some of the power stored in the Blood Prison Sword also began to rapidly flow into Lin Yun's body.

However, Lin Yun's aura did not gradually become stronger; instead, it became increasingly restrained until it was almost imperceptible. If a powerful person were to carefully sense it, they might be able to detect that Lin Yun's aura was gradually becoming more mellow.

During this period, Lin Yun's strength increased too quickly. Although it was mostly due to the Blood Prison Sword absorbing and refining the enemy's power, and his breaking through the last three heavens of this universe, with various powers added to him, the Blood Prison Sword's ability was extremely heaven-defying. Now that it had recognized him as its master, it could indeed enhance his power without much hidden danger. In addition, he had the memories of the Blood Emperor and the Crown Prince of the God Clan, which allowed him to fully control these powers.

However, there are still some hidden dangers.

A towering building rises from the ground; only with a solid foundation can one go further and build higher. His goal is not the Saint King realm, nor the peak Saint King realm, nor even the ordinary God realm.

This small potential hazard should not be ignored.

This process lasted for three days.

Over three days, Lin Yun used various methods to refine his intermediate Saint King realm until he felt his power was perfectly rounded and complete, and he could no longer sense any hidden dangers.

"boom--"

Lin Yun opened his eyes and threw a punch forward.

"Buzz!"

Space shattered, and the entire space trembled slightly.

"Although my cultivation level hasn't improved, my power has increased by at least ten percent..." Lin Yun said in a low voice, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

For cultivators at their level, improving their strength even slightly is extremely difficult. Yet, he increased his strength by 10% in just three days, which is a tremendous improvement. Even if he didn't stabilize his realm and cultivated normally, he might not have made such great progress.

"Furthermore, with a smoother and more solid foundation, it's easier to make progress. As the saying goes, sharpening the axe doesn't delay the work of chopping wood..." Lin Yun nodded slightly.

"However, there is something we need to deal with next..." Then, Lin Yun looked up and gazed in a certain direction.

call!

The next moment, Lin Yun's body disappeared.

When he reappeared, Lin Yun was already in the center of this universe.

It turns out that this is where the Heavenly Dao Tower is located. Since the Heavenly Dao Tower recognized its master, Lin Yun has put it away.

At this moment, this place is nothingness. However, because this is the core of the universe, this space gathers various energies at an extremely fast speed. In addition, it is the place where the Heavenly Dao Tower has been for hundreds of millions of years, making this place look quite extraordinary.

At this moment, some powerful cultivators are standing in the starry sky, frowning and discussing.

"According to the information obtained from the beings in this universe, there should be a powerful magical artifact here, so why isn't it here?"

"Through my careful examination, I found the aura left by a powerful magic weapon here. That information should be true. However, it's possible that this magic weapon has been taken away by someone?"

"Could it have been taken away by the Sage King of Eastern Zhou?"

"It's possible... Brother Dongzhou is a superior Saint King. While the beings of this universe cannot refine that magic weapon, Brother Dongzhou can definitely do so..."

“Speaking of Brother Dongzhou, we’ve been here for so long, how come we haven’t found any trace of him? Could it be that he really entered the Netherworld through the passage connecting this universe and the Netherworld?”

These cultivators are all at the Saint King level, and not just any Saint Kings. Furthermore, since they mentioned the Saint King of Eastern Zhou in their conversations, it is highly likely that the information they received was spread by the Saint King of Eastern Zhou, attracting these cultivators.

According to the information Lin Yun obtained from Saint King Rosen on two separate occasions, these powerful cultivators did indeed have a close relationship with Saint King Dongzhou.

As they spoke, these Saint King powerhouses unleashed their powerful domain forces in this universe, searching for all sorts of information left behind by the Eastern Zhou Saint King. A newly opened Thirty-Six Heavens universe was nothing to them, so they used their domain forces without any restraint.

"You don't need to look anymore. The Eastern Zhou Sage King has been suppressed by me. I will release him after a while. This realm already has a master. You should leave quickly, or you will bear the consequences!"

Just then, a faint voice rang out.

call!

A young man in white appeared before these cultivators.

It was Lin Yun.

"Um?"

"What?"

Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, the group of cultivators were all taken aback. Then, they saw Lin Yun appear before them.

"The intermediate level of a Saintly Ruler?"

"The Sage King of Eastern Zhou was suppressed by him?"

All the cultivators were taken aback and remained silent for a moment.

After a moment, they all burst into laughter.

"Little friend, are you a native of this universe? Do you know what the Saint King Realm is?"

"A mere mediocre sage ruler dares to claim he suppressed the sage king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty? Are you kidding me?"

"Hehe, you heard about the Sage King of Eastern Zhou from us and thought you could intimidate us with those words. I must say, little friend, you are very clever, but your ignorance makes you look very foolish right now!"

A group of Saint King-level cultivators laughed as they spoke, with one or two of them even bending over with laughter.

"Alright, little friend, this world isn't as simple as you think. You've arrived at just the right time. It's a newly opened universe with thirty-six heavens. A mid-level Saint King must be quite powerful in it. Tell me, what happened in this universe? Where did the Eastern Zhou Saint King go?" After a moment, a Saint King cultivator stopped laughing and looked at Lin Yun, saying.

“Hmm…you may not know what the Eastern Zhou Sage King looks like, this is what the Eastern Zhou Sage King looks like…” Then, this Sage King cultivator thought that Lin Yun might not know what the Eastern Zhou Sage King looked like, so with a thought, he condensed the appearance of the Eastern Zhou Sage King.

"Hehe, hurry up and tell me what you know, so you don't suffer any more." Another Saint King cultivator also laughed.

"To say you'll bear the consequences yourself, that's laughable." A Saint King cultivator shook his head.

The message the Eastern Zhou Sage King conveyed to them only told them that there were powerful ghost cultivators and great opportunities in this universe, urging them to come quickly. However, he did not tell them that there was a human youth in this universe with extraordinary strength who, on the surface, was only at the intermediate Sage King level, but in fact, his strength was terrifying. Otherwise, they would not have had this attitude.

On the one hand, the Eastern Zhou Sage King sent the message relatively early, at which time he had not yet realized that Lin Yun's strength was enough to kill him and prevent him from escaping. On the other hand, he was afraid that his friends would not arrive in time, so he did not explain the situation in detail.

Most of his friends were at the intermediate or upper level of the Saint King realm, and one was even at the peak of the Saint King realm. They were already at the top of the Great World of Living Beings. The opening of an ordinary Thirty-Six Heavens universe might not be enough to attract them to immediately drop what they were doing and come over.

Of course, the Eastern Zhou Sage King did not intend to harm them; he simply asked them to go outside this universe and wait for him before discussing matters.

However, the fact that the Eastern Zhou Sage King ultimately fell into Lin Yun's hands and could not escape was something he had not expected.

By the time he wanted to send the message out again, he no longer had the ability.

At first, when some Saint King-level cultivators arrived, they listened to the Eastern Zhou Saint King and did not directly enter this universe. However, as more Saint King-level cultivators arrived, they began to care less about the matter.

Furthermore, they were also afraid that the Eastern Zhou Sage King would gain some benefits in this universe first, so after discussing it, they came in together.

With so many Saint King-level cultivators, as long as they don't encounter the legendary God Realm, those invincible Saint Kings, or some powerful forces, they can practically roam freely throughout the entire World of Living Beings.

Could there possibly be anything in a newly opened Thirty-Six Heavens universe that could threaten their existence?

And so, the scene we see now unfolded.

"You don't believe me?" Lin Yun said calmly, looking at these people.

"Forehead……"

"Little friend, don't push your luck. Just answer whatever we ask you..."

"You seem quite young, yet you've already reached the intermediate Saint King realm. You're very likely to reach Saint King in the future. If you don't want your bright future to vanish, then answer our questions honestly. We are not people you can afford to offend..."

The Saint King level cultivators either remained indifferent, shook their heads, or sneered.

"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite." Lin Yun shook his head.

"Hey, you're getting energetic now!"

"Since that's the case, don't blame us for being impolite!"

Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, the two Saint King cultivators almost laughed in anger and exclaimed in unison.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

However, before they could make any move, their heads flew high into the air, blood spurting from their necks. But before the blood could spurt too high, it was engulfed by the powerful blood light emanating from the Bloodthirsty Sword.

"What?"

"The Butcher, Black Jade, actually—"

The other Saint King cultivators were startled by this scene and exclaimed in surprise.

Whew! Whew!

The next moment, they all quickly retreated.

Both the Butcher and Black Jade are mid-level Saint Kings.

To instantly kill two mid-level Saint Kings is something even a peak Saint King would find difficult to do; the opponent's strength is terrifying. Before they understand the situation, it's really not wise for them to stay put.

Then they realized that it was Lin Yun who had made the move. They all looked up at Lin Yun with disbelief.

"This...this guy's cultivation level is at the intermediate Saint King level?"

"It seems correct... but the strength is just too great!"

"Could it be that this guy is right, and that he suppressed the Sage King of Eastern Zhou?"

One by one, the Saint King cultivators gasped in astonishment.

A mid-level Saint King possesses the power to instantly kill two mid-level Saint Kings with a single move, which is beyond their comprehension. They have never seen such a powerful mid-level Saint King before.

No, even the most powerful Saint Kings had never seen anyone with such terrifying strength.

At this moment, a rather absurd thought even arose in their minds: between the two sides, who is the intermediate-level Sage King and who is the intermediate-level Sage Emperor?

The opposite is more accurate!

Unfortunately, a scene in reality made them realize that this is reality!

"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

"Kid! You're asking for it!"

Just then, the two mid-level Saint Kings whose heads had been severed roared as their heads flew back.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they, powerful experts at the intermediate Saint King level, had their heads severed in a single move by an intermediate Saint Monarch, who also dealt with both of them at the same time.

This is so shameful and humiliating.

If they do not avenge this humiliation, they will be ashamed to be mediocre saintly kings.

"boom!"

"boom!"

With a roar, they unleashed powerful auras and rushed toward Lin Yun's position. Because of their speed, their heads hadn't even returned to their bodies yet. However, cultivators at the Saint King level have terrifying vitality; rebirth from a drop of blood is normal for them. The slight distance between their heads and bodies wouldn't affect their strength much.

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

However, before they could even get in front of Lin Yun, he had already teleported in front of them and slashed at them with his sword once again.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

With a flash of crimson light, the bodies of the two mid-level Saint Kings were both severed at the waist, becoming two pieces, and even more blood gushed out from their severed bodies.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

The Blood Prison Sword emitted an excited tremor, rapidly absorbing and refining the essence of the blood. Lin Yun's power increased rapidly along with that of the Blood Prison Sword.

"Such powerful primal force! This human youth is the chosen one of this universe, and not just any chosen one, but possibly one who has broken through the final barrier!"

At that moment, the only peak Saint King cultivator present spoke in a deep voice.

"Um?"

"Brother Qingshang means..."

"Is this human boy the cultivator who broke through the final barrier of this universe?"

Upon hearing the words of this peak Saint King cultivator, the other Saint Kings all turned to look, surprised.

The Soul-Sorrow Saint King, a peak Saint King, is renowned throughout the Great World of Living Beings. Due to his strength, even Saint King-level cultivators subtly follow his lead.

It was this person's arrival that made them decide to enter this universe.

In the universe of living beings, the last three heavens are extremely important and very difficult to break through. The power of the two realms' origin obtained by breaking through each new heaven is several times that obtained by breaking through the previous heaven.

Therefore, it is extremely important to break through which of the final three heavens.

It's not an exaggeration to say that a cultivator who breaks through the final level has ten times the potential of a cultivator who breaks through the third-to-last level.

The Thirty-Six Heavens Universe is not a weak universe. The cultivators who broke through the last heaven are mostly people that this group of people have heard of, even if they haven't met them in person. As long as they don't perish along the way, each of them will achieve great success.

Mid-level Saint King and Upper-level Saint King are considered average achievements, but there are also many Peak Saint Kings.

The Saint King Realm has four levels, and the difference between each level is significant.

Of the Saint King level cultivators present, only Qing Shang was a peak Saint King; the others were all mid-level or high-level Saint Kings. How could they not be surprised to hear Qing Shang say this?

Such a person, possessing the power of the origin of two realms, would not be an ordinary mid-level or high-level Saint King if he became a mid-level or high-level Saint King. Similarly, if he became a peak Saint King, he would not be an ordinary peak Saint King.
