"As expected, just as I thought, I quickly broke through to new heavens. Before my body had time to refine the power of the two realms, the difficulty of breaking through to new heavens did not increase!" Inside the spatial rift that broke through the forty-fourth heaven, Lin Yun's blood and qi fluctuated. He felt both the pride of breaking through three new heavens and excitement, and thought to himself.
"However, although I acted very quickly, breaking through three new heavens took a certain amount of time. A large amount of the power of the two realms appeared, and much of the power of the two realms has already been automatically refined by my body..." Lin Yun paused, his eyes narrowing slightly.
The power of the origin of the two realms represents innate potential and the great fortune of heaven and earth. It is extremely precious. If an ordinary cultivator were to break through to a new level and the power of the origin of the two realms were to descend, they would probably be extremely eager to refine it, afraid of wasting even a little bit, and afraid that something might happen if they were too late.
For example, when he first broke through that new heaven of the living universe, the True Martial Saint Lord asked him with great concern about refining the power of origin.
Now, however, he really didn't want to refine these two realms' primordial powers so quickly. He only needed to postpone it for a little while. Truly, life is unpredictable.
As his body automatically refined some of the primordial power of the two realms, he clearly felt that the difficulty of breaking through to the new heaven was rapidly increasing.
"Faster! Faster! Faster! Even faster!"
As Lin Yun charged upwards, he focused all his energy on regulating his body. His aura, which had dropped significantly after breaking through three new levels of heaven, began to rise again.
"Break! Break! Break!"
Soon, Lin Yun rushed to the core of the forty-fourth heaven again. At this moment, his aura was also adjusted to its peak. He slashed with the Blood Prison Sword in his hand again and shouted at the same time.
In fact, the forty-second heaven was only recently created and formed a relatively small space. The forty-third heaven broke through the foundation of the forty-second heaven, and the space within it was even smaller. The forty-fourth heaven and so on were even more so.
He rushed to the core of the forty-fourth heaven, but it was only roughly the core. The forty-fourth heaven had already been completely opened up. He was far from finding a core point to break through the forty-fifth heaven.
Now, he needs to exert more power out of thin air, just like cutting through the thick rind of a watermelon before he can cut it.
However, it was too late. He had to break through the forty-fifth level of heaven quickly, no matter the cost, otherwise his plan would be in vain.
After he broke through three new layers of heaven and earth, and completely refined the immense power of the two realms' origin that descended from heaven and earth, it would be extremely difficult for him to break through the forty-fifth layer of heaven.
Perhaps, even if he spends tens or hundreds of thousands of years to cultivate to the peak of the Saint King realm, he might not be able to achieve it.
The forty-fifth heaven is the final heaven of this small entity. He had broken through all the previous heavens. Lin Yun vaguely felt that it would be much more difficult for him to break through this heaven.
"Boom!"
A muffled thud.
It lacked the decisiveness of Lin Yun's previous sword strike that cleaved through the forty-second, forty-third, and forty-fourth heavens; it merely created a tiny spatial rift, far from breaking through the forty-fifth heaven.
"No..." Lin Yun's heart sank when he saw this.
The primal power of the two realms that he had just refined had already taken effect. According to his previous calculations, even if he couldn't kill the forty-fifth heaven in one sword strike, he should be able to cut it open in two or three strikes.
However, judging from the current situation, he estimated that it would take eight or ten sword strikes to cut through it.
Ten swords, eight swords... that's too slow...
Now, a large amount of primal power from both realms is descending upon his body, and every second his body is automatically refining that primal power from both realms; he can't stop it even if he wants to.
As time goes on, his body will absorb more primal power, making it even harder for him to break through the forty-fifth level. Right now, it seems he only needs to unleash ten or eight sword strikes, but when he actually does, he will find that... it's far from enough!
The longer the time it takes to break through the forty-fifth level, the more difficult it becomes for him to break through. This time, he might not even be able to break through the forty-fifth level at all!
"Faster! Faster!" Lin Yun shouted in a low voice.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" As he spoke, Lin Yun seemed to go mad, and the Blood Prison Sword in his hand slashed rapidly towards the space in front of him.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!" The Blood Prison Sword hummed, its entire blade releasing a dazzling crimson light, trembling and exerting its maximum power.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
Lin Yun even infused a large amount of time power into his strength, enhancing his attack power.
In fact, he had already tried it. The power of time was not of much help to him in breaking through the new heaven. To break through the new heaven, one must have absolute power and can use the power of space, but the power of time is almost useless.
However, it's only almost useless... not completely useless!
Previously, given the preciousness of the power of time, Lin Yun would absolutely not have been willing to use it to increase his strength by even a little bit, but now, he couldn't care less!
If it takes most of his time and energy to break through the forty-fifth heaven, he is willing!
He had a strong premonition that if he broke through the new Heaven of a small entity in the Netherworld, a great change would occur in him, and this change could be of great help to him!
His trip to the Great World of Living Beings only meant he might encounter a Divine Realm expert, not that he would definitely encounter one. He was giving himself some time and energy, and as long as he didn't encounter an extremely powerful Divine Realm expert, he was confident he could handle the situation. At worst, he could escape, and at worst, he would simply die.
His innate spirituality is already connected with that universe of living beings; as long as that universe of living beings exists, he will not die.
He also has an avatar in that universe of living beings. Even if this body dies, he can condense another body. It's not a big deal.
The only thing to worry about is the safety of Xiao Erduo and Ziyun.
However, if he were to encounter a powerful expert at the Divine Realm who could threaten his life, even with a significant amount of time left, he might not be a match, and Xiao Erduo and Zi Yun would still be in danger.
Nothing is absolute, and he cannot remain timid and hesitant because of some unknown things.
Most importantly, even if Xiao Erduo and Zi Yun really perish, they still have the chance to be reincarnated; there is still room for maneuver.
One sword... two swords... ten swords... a hundred swords...
As Lin Yun had expected, as time passed, he refined more and more of the power of the two realms' origins, making it increasingly difficult for him to break through the forty-fifth heaven.
Even after a hundred sword strikes, it still couldn't be broken.
However, he also shattered more than half of the spatial barrier of the forty-fifth heaven.
A massive spatial rift was there, appearing and disappearing at any moment, as if it could be completely severed at any time.
Below, the forty-first heaven.
"The forty-fifth Heaven... I wonder if the Blood Emperor can break through it..."
"The Blood Emperor once said that he wanted to shatter all the heavens from the thirty-seventh to the forty-fifth heavens. There must be some mystery behind this. The forty-fifth heaven is the final one..."
The Three-Eyed Emperor watched this scene from afar, secretly feeling both excited and expectant.
He was also eager to know what changes would occur once the Blood Emperor broke through the forty-fifth level of the Heavenly Realm.
“One hundred swords… one hundred swords already… Previously, when the Blood Emperor cleaved through the layers of heaven, he could only use two swords at most for each layer. Now, however, he has used one hundred swords and still hasn’t broken through…” The Three-Eyed Emperor was extremely nervous.
"Three new heavens! The Blood Emperor has actually broken through three new heavens in a row!"
"Right now, the Blood Emperor is trying to break through to the forty-fifth level of the Heavenly Realm. I wonder if he can succeed!"
As the new heaven expanded, the connection between the new heaven and the forty-first heaven became increasingly apparent. Many ghost cultivators in the forty-first heaven also witnessed the changes above and were all shocked.
...
"break!!!"
Finally, after Lin Yun broke through two hundred swords in succession, he roared and unleashed another powerful blood sword attack, which contained all the power of time except for the last trace of time power.
Success or failure hinges on this one strike!
We can't delay any longer; if we do, he will completely lose his chance to succeed!
"Boom—"
As Lin Yun attacked, the faint spatial rift began to slowly open. A moment later, like the last straw that broke the camel's back, a loud bang was heard, and the entire spatial rift opened completely.
The forty-fifth heaven is broken!
"Boom! Boom!"
Vast amounts of the power of heaven and earth surged forth from this spatial rift once again.
"The forty-fifth heaven has finally been broken!" Lin Yun exclaimed excitedly.
The plan succeeded. This time, he broke through four new layers of the Netherworld!
He shattered a small whole, from the thirty-seventh to the forty-fifth heavens!
"Buzz—"
A mysterious energy was born from the heavens and earth, rapidly enveloping Lin Yun.
"Hmm? What is this..." Lin Yun's heart stirred. This mysterious energy was the power of the two realms that descended from heaven and earth after he broke through the forty-fifth heaven. However, it contained not only the power of the two realms, but also a magical power.
"Refine it first..." Lin Yun thought to himself.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
He began to refine this mysterious energy with all his might, and as he continued to refine it, his perception of the entire Netherworld became clearer and clearer. He felt that the entire Netherworld was giving him even greater support.
This blessing is different from the blessing he received from a certain power in the Netherworld; it is a blessing from the overall power of the Netherworld.
In fact, after a ghost cultivator breaks through the first level of the Netherworld, he can be considered one of the chosen ones of the Netherworld and will also feel the blessing of the overall power of the Netherworld. However, that feeling is too weak and is far less than the blessing of the power of the level he broke through.
Now, this feeling has become very clear.
It was almost as if Lin Yun had broken through to a new level, and the significance of this overall blessing far exceeded the significance of the blessing of a single level of power on his strength.
He had a feeling that, from now on, no matter how many more heavens the Netherworld broke through, no matter which heaven he was in, he would not be suppressed by the lord of that heaven.
Perhaps it's not apparent now, but if Lin Yun breaks through the path to a new heaven in the Netherworld and stops there, in the future, more geniuses will be born in the Netherworld, and they will break through even higher heavens in the Netherworld.
The fiftieth heaven, the sixtieth heaven, and even the seventieth heaven.
At that time, was Lin Yun's current strength truly a match for those ghost cultivators?
For example, if Lin Yun were to accumulate power in preparation for breaking through the last three heavens of the Netherworld, and if the Netherworld truly had eighty-one heavens, then the last three heavens would be the seventy-ninth, eightieth, and eighty-first heavens.
Therefore, Lin Yun would certainly not be able to break through the many heavens before the seventy-ninth heaven.
However, if Lin Yun cannot break through those layers of heaven, the benefits that heaven and earth bestow upon him for each new layer he breaks through will be more than the sum of the benefits of breaking through all the previous layers.
Despite Lin Yun breaking through so many heavens, the benefits he gained were insignificant compared to those heaven lords. At that time, it was difficult to predict what kind of strength those heaven lords would possess.
If those ghost cultivators are truly stronger than Lin Yun.
At that time, would they still allow Lin Yun to break through the last three heavens of the Netherworld?
In fact, this was the reason why Lin Yun initially took in some powerful ghost cultivators and valued their character!
The ghost cultivators he trained are unlikely to oppose him. Even if one or two ghost cultivators oppose him, surely not all of them will.
Time reveals true character. His interactions with these ghost cultivators will allow him to further filter them out. Ultimately, he can help the ghost cultivators he trusts break through the higher heavens of the Netherworld!
At that time, it will be much easier for him to break through the last three heavens of the Netherworld!
However, the human heart is the most unpredictable thing. Just because it is trustworthy now does not mean it will be trustworthy in the future. Although the Heavenly Dao Tower can help him subdue some powerful people, he cannot guarantee that the Heavenly Dao Tower can subdue God Realm experts!
He estimated that breaking through the new heavens of the Netherworld would require at least a God Realm expert!
If the Heavenly Dao Tower cannot subdue them, then it will truly depend on the willpower of those ghost cultivators themselves!
Therefore, the fact that he now enjoys the benefit of not being suppressed by those Heavenly Lords throughout the entire Netherworld is of great significance!
Moreover, this was just one of the benefits. Lin Yun felt that his talent and potential had increased significantly, and he was able to refine various powers much faster.
This is of great significance.
There are many other benefits, but he needs to explore them one by one.
"Buzz—"
Several days later.
After Lin Yun refined all the power of the two realms' origin and that mysterious power, a powerful wave was born again, and a pure energy body appeared out of thin air. Then, this pure energy body flew towards him again.
"This is... pure time power?" Lin Yun opened his eyes, looking at the energy shooting towards him, and exclaimed with great surprise.
He could sense that this power of time was also one of the rewards bestowed by heaven and earth. He hadn't expected that heaven and earth would bestow such a reward. This pure power of time was different from the power of time he had previously condensed; it was a very pure power that was easy for him to refine.
Originally, in order to break through the forty-fifth heaven, he almost exhausted all the time power he had accumulated over the years, leaving only a trace of time power as a seed.
Now, it's time to make up for it properly.
It must be because the power of time is powerful within the great laws of the Netherworld. After all, there is a significant difference in the flow of time every nine heavens in the Netherworld. Therefore, he received such a reward after breaking through a small, unified new heaven.
Lin Yun thought to himself.
