"mean!"

"Join forces quickly!"

"Use the Thirty-Six Realms Grand Array!"

Seeing this, the group of powerful ghost cultivators were both shocked and furious. They hadn't expected that the other party, who had spoken so confidently earlier, would suddenly launch a preemptive attack on them.

However, the expressions of some high-level Saint King ghost cultivators such as the Three-Eyed Emperor, the Martial Emperor, and the Ao Emperor remained unchanged. Living beings and ghost cultivators are naturally opposed, and the other party had already been generous enough in giving them so much time to talk and unite.

Now that the two sides are locked in a stalemate, isn't it normal for the other side to make its move? Are they just going to stand there and let them gang up on them?

Moreover, the fact that the other party took such action actually relieved them, indicating that the other party was not as tough as they claimed and was still quite wary of them.

Perhaps, their earlier words were intended to intimidate them, making them wary so they could leave unscathed? Unexpectedly, it instead led to so many powerful ghost cultivators uniting against them?

Even more so, the opponent's strength was not as exaggerated as it appeared. It was just that he used some special means to be so powerful and could not last long. After all, it was too exaggerated for a lower-level Saint King to have the strength of an invincible Saint King!

Even the Blood Emperor, who broke through eight new heavens in his prime, didn't achieve such an exaggerated feat. How much more so for a being whose strength would be severely suppressed in the Netherworld? Under normal circumstances, it would be quite remarkable for a lower-level Saint King to enter the Netherworld and possess the power of a peak Saint Monarch. Even if the opponent broke through the three new heavens of the Netherworld and gained a powerful boost, this is simply too far-fetched!

Thinking this way, they even began to feel excited. If everything went as they expected, then killing their opponent was not an impossible task.

In this way, the Netherworld Origin Power obtained by the opponent after breaking through the thirty-seventh, thirty-eighth, and thirty-ninth Heavens will be divided among them.

Although Ao Di had previously made promises to the other powerful ghost cultivators, they believed that with their strength, even if the distribution was fair, they could receive a large share, possibly far exceeding the Netherworld Origin Power they currently possessed.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One by one, powerful ghost cultivators released their auras and quickly formed a famous battle formation in the Netherworld. The Three-Eyed Emperor, the Martial Emperor, and the Ao Emperor led the way, followed by other Heavenly Lords and peak Saint Kings, all attacking Lin Yun.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Boom! Boom!"

Lin Yun swung his sword, once again shattering the bodies of two mid-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators that had just been formed. These two mid-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators were the ones he had suddenly attacked earlier and who hadn't had time to form a battle formation with the other ghost cultivators.

After Lin Yun shattered their bodies once again, he completely annihilated them. At the same time, with a wave of his hand, two black crystals and several spatial items flew up from where they had fallen and landed in Lin Yun's hand.

It was the crystal cores of those two mid-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators, along with the spatial items they left behind.

Seeing this, even the powerful ghost cultivators were somewhat envious.

Killing ghosts and stealing treasures—this was something a mere living being had done right before their eyes, in the very heavens of the Netherworld, right in front of them, a group of top-tier ghost cultivators from the Netherworld.

The crystal cores and spatial items of two mid-level Saint Kings... are also of considerable value to them.

Yes, they were not only angry at Lin Yun's actions, but also envious.

"The vitality of us Saint King-level ghost cultivators is terrifying. In just a dozen or so moves, he completely annihilated two mid-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators. This person's power is extremely strange..."

Some powerful ghost cultivators noticed the speed at which Lin Yun killed the two mid-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators, and they all gasped in astonishment, thinking to themselves.

Cultivators at their level possess immense vitality, making them easy to defeat but difficult to kill. However, a clear anomaly has emerged.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Boom! Boom! Clang! Clang..."

At this moment, Lin Yun had already flashed into the battle formation and engaged them in combat. In an instant, various powerful forces flew about, and there were constant booming sounds.

"The Thirty-Six Realms Grand Array?" Lin Yun wondered a little as he used various attacks.

If he wasn't mistaken, this should be the Eighteen Realms Grand Array he created based on the Eighteen Heavens of the Netherworld. Somehow it fell into the hands of these ghost cultivators, who then modified it to become the Thirty-Six Realms Grand Array used by them.

However, the traces of the Eighteen Realms Formation are very strong. Calling it the Thirty-Six Realms Formation is an exaggeration. It is full of loopholes and it would be better to use two Eighteen Realms Formations directly against the enemy.

At least, that's how Lin Yun sees it.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle..."

As he was thinking this, Lin Yun had already found a few loopholes. He quickly flashed in front of several powerful ghost cultivators and slashed with his sword. Immediately, the bodies of the three Saint King level ghost cultivators were shattered once again.

"How is that possible?"

"We've already formed a battle formation, how did he manage to cut down and devour them?"

Upon seeing this, the other powerful ghost cultivators trembled and exclaimed in disbelief.

Whale Devourer was one of the three ghost cultivators whose bodies Lin Yun had just destroyed.

In their minds, they had formed a battle formation, integrating offense and defense. No matter how strong the opponent was, it would not be easy for them to be hurt. This was their greatest confidence in dealing with the opponent and even annihilating them.

However, it had only been a short time, almost the very beginning, when three of their ghost cultivators had their bodies shattered by the enemy.

These weren't the two mid-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators from before who hadn't had time to form a battle formation with them, but rather powerful ghost cultivators who had already formed a battle formation with them, which instilled a sense of fear in their hearts.

The fear of the unknown, the fear of death.

They had all witnessed how the other party had killed two mid-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators in just over ten moves.

Does this mean that they could be attacked and killed by the enemy at any time?

"Bang—bang—bang—"

However, no one answered them. Lin Yun strolled leisurely among the many ghost cultivators, occasionally slashing at them with his sword. Very few ghost cultivators could block his attacks. Whether they were mid-level Saint King level ghost cultivators or high-level Saint King level ghost cultivators, they would be cleaved in two or three blows. Only peak Saint King level ghost cultivators could block his attacks, but even then, they would be cleaved in two or three blows.

"hateful!"

"how so!"

Damn it!

The other powerful ghost cultivators were shocked and furious upon seeing this scene. They had not expected things to turn out this way. They could not harm their opponent, but were constantly being injured by them. In particular, the top ghost cultivators such as the Three-Eyed Emperor and the Martial Emperor felt extremely aggrieved.

Because of the battle formation, their actions are restricted, and they cannot directly attack the opponent. In theory, since their power is integrated into the battle formation, as long as the opponent fights with them, they can be easily attacked by the battle formation.

In reality, whenever the battle formation was about to strike the opponent, the opponent would always manage to dodge perfectly and instead launch a counterattack, as if the opponent were the nemesis of the Thirty-Six Realms Grand Formation.

This resulted in them wasting their immense strength, doing nothing but passively taking hits.

However, if they leave the battle formation, the role played by other powerful ghost cultivators will be greatly reduced.

In fact, it's not impossible that in the midst of a chaotic battle, making them hesitant and timid could actually be advantageous to the other side.

This put them in a dilemma.

Continuing to use battle formations is not an option, nor is not using them.

The Thirty-Six Realms Grand Array was something they had all used before, either personally or by having their subordinates use it. It was a widely circulated array among the higher-ups of the Netherworld and had almost never had any problems.

I never expected that something would go wrong at this moment.

"He fought against more than fifty Saint King-level ghost cultivators single-handedly, so easily..."

"This young creature is too strong; even so many Saint King-level ghost cultivators working together are no match for him..."

Below, there were some powerful ghost cultivators who had not yet made a move. Most of them were of relatively low strength and were not qualified to participate in this battle, but the fact that they could come to this place meant that they were all high-ranking members of the Netherworld. Seeing this scene, they were all shocked.

"Boom! Boom!"

Before long, Lin Yun killed two more low-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators. He didn't simply shred their bodies, but completely annihilated them.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

As Lin Yun continued to attack these Saint King-level ghost cultivators, their bodies disintegrated. The Blood Prison Sword absorbed and refined a large amount of soul power. Just as these two lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators were completely annihilated, a tremendous amount of soul power was absorbed and refined by the Blood Prison Sword, quickly entering the Blood Prison Sword. At the same time, much of it entered Lin Yun's body, causing the aura of the Blood Prison Sword and Lin Yun to surge instantly.

"Stop forming the Thirty-Six Realms Grand Formation! Fight individually, or form smaller battle formations!" Upon seeing this, the Three-Eyed Emperor's eyelids twitched, and he finally made up his mind, shouting loudly.

If this continues, most of their powerful ghost cultivators will be worn down to death by the enemy. On the contrary, the enemy seems to be getting stronger with each battle, using some unknown means. Dragging this out will only bring them harm and no benefit.

It would be better to make a decisive move and change tactics directly.

"The Three-Eyed Emperor?" Emperor Wu frowned slightly, but after a pause, he realized that this seemed to be the only option. He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Alright, so be it!"

"That's fine too!" Ao Di nodded.

"yes……"

"We obey..."

"Scatter!"

Other powerful ghost cultivators followed suit.

They weren't stupid; they knew that this was the best option.

"Boom—Boom—"

Soon, these powerful ghost cultivators dispersed and began attacking Lin Yun individually.

"They reacted quickly..." Lin Yun said in a low voice, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Boom! Boom!"

Lin Yun swung his blood-red longsword, slaying several ghost cultivators at the upper and peak Saint King levels.

It has to be said that the opponent's tactics made him much more difficult to deal with.

In particular, the Lord of the Thirty-Sixth Heaven, the Lord of the Thirty-Fifth Heaven, and the Lord of the Thirty-Fourth Heaven are all known as invincible Saint Kings. Their strength is far beyond that of ordinary peak Saint Kings. The three of them attacking together makes it difficult for him to deal with them.

The fighting became fierce and brutal.

As more and more ghost cultivators were blasted apart by Lin Yun, Lin Yun himself also sustained injuries. Only then did the battle begin to show signs of its ferocity. However, Lin Yun's ability to fight over fifty ghost cultivators at once, and his invincible aura, shocked countless ghost cultivators both in the sky and on the ground.

Some of the powerful ghost cultivators who were besieging Lin Yun had even begun to consider retreating.

"The Blood Emperor's strength after breaking through to the Lower Saint King realm is terrifying. Luckily, I didn't fight to the death earlier, otherwise, I would really be dead... However, with so many ghost cultivators besieging the Blood Emperor now, is it really appropriate for me to just watch from below..."

Below, Guomuboer watched this scene, feeling relieved once again, but then his expression shifted as he thought to himself.

Go up?

Who should we go up to help?

We definitely can't help the Three-Eyed Emperor and the Martial Emperor!

However, if we go up to help the Blood Emperor, wouldn't we be hated to death by all the powerful ghost cultivators in the Netherworld?

The Blood Emperor is currently in the form of a living being, and it is unknown whether he will continue to exist in the Netherworld. If the Blood Emperor leaves the Netherworld, how will he face the high-ranking ghost cultivators of the Netherworld?

So... leaving doesn't seem like a good idea. What if it causes either side to dislike him? No matter which side dislikes him, his future will be difficult.

This is really a headache.

"Buzz!"

Just then, a mysterious light suddenly emanated from the third eye on the forehead of the Three-Eyed Emperor, quickly enveloping Lin Yun.

"Um?"

Just as Lin Yun flashed in front of a peak Saint King Ghost Cultivator, about to strike with his Blood Prison Sword, he suddenly sensed danger. His heart tightened, and he immediately abandoned the peak Saint King Ghost Cultivator in front of him, quickly dodging to the side.

However, before his body could dodge a great distance, he was still enveloped by the divine light, but it didn't seem to have the power he had imagined.

Just as Lin Yun was wondering what was going on, he saw the peak Saint King Ghost Cultivator suddenly increase the speed of his attack, instantly bombarding him and causing the defensive power of his body's defensive layer to drop significantly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Just then, the attack speed of the surrounding ghost cultivators seemed to increase instantly, bombarding him and causing his defensive layer to drop to the brink of collapse. This state did not last long, and his defensive layer was soon completely broken, with powerful attacks bombarding him.

"puff!"

Lin Yun's body jolted violently, almost collapsing, and the next moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"That brat is seriously injured!"

"Finally, he got hurt!"

"It's the Three-Eyed Emperor's divine eye attack!"

"The Three-Eyed Emperor is amazing!"

"Quick! Quick! Attack this brat with all your might..."

The group of powerful ghost cultivators who were besieging Lin Yun were pleasantly surprised to see this scene.

I almost burst into tears of joy.

It was incredibly difficult. So many of them, including Saint King-level ghost cultivators and many high-level Saint Kings, had been besieging this low-level Saint King being for so long, yet they not only failed to achieve anything but also had several of their own killed.

That's so embarrassing.

Instead, the opponent's momentum grew stronger, almost driving them to despair.

Finally, the other party was injured, and seriously so, giving them hope.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and one wrong step leads to another. At this moment, the opponent's injury gives them hope of completely annihilating him. Taking advantage of the opponent's serious injury, they must seize the opportunity to expand their gains.

"What? The Blood Emperor is injured?"

Below, Guomuboer, witnessing this scene, was shocked.
