"Buzz!"
With that thought, Lin Yun waved his hand and broke the boundary between the twenty-seventh and twenty-sixth heavens, revealing the twenty-sixth heaven!
The next moment, Lin Yun flashed into it. Because Guo Muboer had been blocking Lin Yun's way to the twenty-eighth heaven, he was not prepared for Lin Yun to suddenly retreat to the twenty-sixth heaven, allowing Lin Yun to enter smoothly!
However, this scene had a different meaning in Guomuboer's eyes.
"As expected, this young creature is only at the upper-level Saint King realm. He cannot unleash power at this level right now. He could only use it for such a short time before he could no longer sustain it..." Guomuboer's eyes lit up slightly as he thought to himself.
This is a special superior saintly being. If he captures and devours it, he will definitely make a great leap forward in strength. With this in mind, he excitedly chased after it towards the twenty-sixth heaven!
“If you escape to the twenty-eighth heaven, I might still have some consideration… But if you escape to the twenty-sixth heaven, you’re just courting death…” Guomuboer sneered and muttered to himself.
Although the twenty-seventh heaven is the last heaven in this small whole of the nineteenth to twenty-seventh heavens, and the help this heaven space provides to him far exceeds the help the previous heavens provide to their heaven lords... however, the twenty-eighth heaven is already on another level.
In terms of the flow of time alone, the twenty-eighth heaven is ten times that of the twenty-seventh heaven, and the spatial power of the twenty-eighth heaven amplifies the power of the lord of the twenty-eighth heaven by far more than him.
Furthermore, the Lord of the Twenty-Eighth Heaven was originally no weaker than him, and since it was the Twenty-Eighth Heaven's home ground, he was truly no match for the Lord of the Twenty-Eighth Heaven.
If this young creature were to enter the twenty-eighth level of space and the Lord of the twenty-eighth level were to discover him and try to intervene, he might not necessarily be able to defeat the Lord of the twenty-eighth level.
But... the twenty-sixth heaven...
If the 26th Heaven had a master, he might have to be wary of it.
Unfortunately, he knew that the Twenty-Sixth Heaven had no master.
The nineteenth to twenty-sixth heavens were all broken by the legendary Blood Emperor of the Netherworld.
Countless years have passed, and the Blood Emperor has never appeared again.
Even when he first appeared, the Blood Emperor rarely claimed to be the master of the nineteenth to twenty-sixth heavens, and he didn't care what other ghost cultivators did in these eight heavens.
Some ghost cultivators said that the Blood Emperor had not appeared for so many years because he had already perished. He did not believe this. He knew how powerful the Blood Emperor was back then. Unless a legendary god-level expert from the living world made a move, almost no cultivator could pose a threat to the Blood Emperor.
Some ghost cultivators say that the Blood Emperor is currently in seclusion somewhere in the thirty-sixth heaven of the Netherworld, planning to break through the thirty-seventh heaven of the Netherworld. When he emerges from seclusion, that will be the time to break through the thirty-seventh heaven of the Netherworld.
This is a view held by the vast majority of high-ranking ghost cultivators. It should be noted that although breaking through one level in the Netherworld is not as difficult as breaking through to the next level in the ordinary universe of living beings, it is still a significant increase in difficulty.
The Blood Emperor broke through eight heavens in a row, which was unimaginable. However, it is also possible that he has reached his limit and cannot break through the twenty-seventh heaven of the Netherworld. It is not necessarily because the Blood Emperor's strength is lacking, but because he broke through too many heavens before, which greatly increased the difficulty.
Furthermore, the benefits bestowed by heaven and earth upon each new layer of heaven that is broken through are incomparable to those bestowed upon breaking through all the previous layers of heaven. Is the Blood Emperor truly willing to keep breaking through the new layers of heaven in the Netherworld?
If things continue like this, given that the Netherworld is said to have eighty-one heavens, the Blood Emperor will absolutely not be able to break through to the eighty-one heavens. Would the Blood Emperor be willing to pave the way for others? Therefore, it is quite normal for the Blood Emperor to go into hibernation midway.
It's not impossible that when the Netherworld breaks through to the eightieth level, the Blood Emperor will reappear and break through the eighty-first level of the Netherworld in one fell swoop.
However, I've heard that... if there's a pause in the process, and a new cultivator breaks through a new level, the more new levels are broken through, the easier it will be for those who broke through earlier to break through new levels again.
He wasn't entirely sure about this information, but after he broke through the twenty-seventh heaven, the Netherworld was subsequently broken through to the thirty-sixth heaven by other ghost cultivators, and he vaguely felt that this matter might be true.
Because he felt that the oppressive force of heaven and earth within his body had lessened, perhaps, if he were to participate in breaking through the thirty-seventh heaven of the Netherworld again, it wouldn't be as difficult as he had originally imagined.
This seems quite normal... After all, the benefits bestowed by heaven and earth upon breaking through a new level are far greater than the combined benefits of breaking through all the previous levels. So, the geniuses who broke through the previous levels were really at a disadvantage.
Only in this way can it be fair.
The fundamental laws of nature are generally quite fair.
Breaking through new heights one after another, the difficulty continues to rise.
However, if you stop halfway through, the difficulty will drop rapidly because the benefits bestowed by heaven and earth will be far less than what you are experiencing now. Therefore, this reaction is perfectly normal.
Therefore, it is not impossible that the Blood Emperor has been lying in wait, planning to break through the thirty-seventh heaven.
The thirty-seventh heaven marks a new chapter, and the benefits gained should be immense.
After the Blood Emperor breaks through the thirty-seventh heaven, he may rest for a while, or he may break through some more heavens in succession, then lie dormant, and finally reappear when the eightieth heaven of the Netherworld is broken.
Based on the talent displayed by the Blood Emperor, Guomuboer did not believe that the Blood Emperor had no hope of breaking through the eighty-first heaven of the Netherworld in the future.
It's laughable that many ghost cultivators actually believe that the Blood Emperor has exhausted his talent and is therefore unable to break through to a new level, and that the Blood Emperor's strength is no longer comparable to that of newcomers.
Guomuboer sneered inwardly; such an idea was truly foolish.
However, it's not surprising that those ghost cultivators knew these rules. Who could know them unless they experienced them firsthand?
The Netherworld has thirty-six heavens, and the Blood Emperor broke through eight of them. How many powerful ghost cultivators have personally experienced this?
Even he, who broke through the twenty-seventh heaven in his early years and has now passed through so many heavens, is only now vaguely certain of this matter. He estimates that those ghost cultivators who broke through new heavens after him are not too sure about this matter either.
The same rules apply to him.
He is now the Lord of the Twenty-Seventh Heaven, but who can be sure that he will always be the Lord of the Twenty-Seventh Heaven?
The Blood Emperor may be lying in wait; isn't he lying in wait right now?
When his strength increases further... when he breaks through to a higher realm... he will become the master of that higher realm!
The flow of time? His will be even higher!
At that time, who would dare to underestimate him? He still stood at the top of the entire Netherworld!
Thinking this, Guomuboer felt a surge of pride, as if he could see his future self with boundless glory!
"Um?"
However, just as he was thinking this happily, Guomuboer's body had already entered the twenty-sixth heaven space. When he entered, he was suddenly stunned.
Because, contrary to his expectations, the young creature did not flee immediately after entering the twenty-sixth heaven space, but seemed to be waiting for him.
Could it be a surprise attack?
Guomuboer was no ordinary ghost cultivator; he had been through countless battles. He immediately became alert, but it was too late. A powerful attack was unleashed from the blood sword in his opponent's hand, rapidly hurtling towards him.
"laugh--"
The sword energy was sharp and powerful.
"How dare you!" Guomuboer exclaimed in shock and anger.
A mere high-ranking Saint King dared to scheme against him like this. Although the other party's strength was no weaker than his, he still felt insulted, an insult to his intelligence.
"boom!"
At the same time, he raised the black spear in his hand to meet the attack, and the black spear also burst forth with a powerful force.
Soon, a gun and a sword clashed.
"Boom—"
A tremendous explosion occurred.
Next, something even more shocking happened to Guomuboer. The power he unleashed with the black spear was quickly neutralized by the opponent's attack, and then a tremendous force surged towards his body.
"Oh no!" Guomuboer's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed.
The opponent's attack was far more powerful than he had expected. Had the opponent been hiding their strength?
Guomuboer could hardly believe it. The strength his opponent had previously displayed was already far beyond what he had shown. He couldn't imagine that his opponent could unleash even greater power.
But that's just how it is.
"Bang!"
A powerful force struck him, sending his body flying backward like a meteor. Pieces of his body shattered and transformed into powerful clusters of soul energy in mid-air.
"hateful!"
Guomuboer was furious.
He had actually been outmaneuvered by the other party; the other party had been hiding such great power. However, he didn't quite believe that the other party's normal power was really that strong; they must have used some special methods.
This tactic usually doesn't last, so he decided to prepare again and teach the other party a big lesson.
"Buzz—"
At that moment, the Blood Prison Sword in Lin Yun's hand began to tremble rapidly. Clusters of soul power were quickly absorbed by the blood-red sword body and transformed into powerful energy, strengthening itself while being channeled towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun's aura surged rapidly, but it was suppressed by something, remaining within a certain range.
This is the bottleneck between the superior Saint King realm and the peak Saint King realm. Once he breaks through it, Lin Yun will advance to the peak Saint King realm.
However, Lin Yun has been holding back from breaking through because there is something he needs to do next that is related to his realm. Otherwise, if he had used the Blood Prison Sword to absorb the power of so many high-level Saint King beings, even if he couldn't break through to the Saint King realm, he would have already broken through to the limit of the peak Saint Monarch realm.
"What?"
Guomuboer was just about to gather his soul power and reconstruct his body when he saw this scene and was greatly surprised.
The other party actually has a way to absorb his soul power?
"Buzz! Buzz!"
Immediately, Guomuboer quickly activated the power within his body, gathering the soul power that Lin Yun had scattered.
However, this gesture caused Guomuboer's heart to sink once again.
He discovered that the opponent's method of absorbing soul power was extremely powerful; in such a short time, a large portion of his dissipated soul power had been absorbed by the opponent.
As a result, his strength has decreased while his opponent's strength has increased, which is not a good sign.
This creature is very strange; this battle shouldn't drag on for too long.
"boom--"
Thinking this, Guomuboer quickly launched another attack at his opponent.
At this moment, Lin Yun's attack also began.
"Boom!"
The attacks from both sides collided again. Just like before, the opponent's attack not only completely neutralized the power of his attack, but also a large portion of the attack power surged toward his body.
“This kid—” Guomuboer’s expression changed.
The opponent's attack power is still so strong.
"Hmm? That's not right!"
But the next moment, Guomuboer's expression changed again. He realized that something was wrong with the other party's situation, and the surrounding space was also a bit strange.
It's too stable; the surrounding space is too stable.
Their power was immense; given their combined strength, this space should not be so stable, but that was indeed the case.
"The spatial power of the twenty-sixth heaven? You...you can actually use the spatial power of the twenty-sixth heaven? How is that possible? How can you use the power of this space? You...what is your background?" Guomuboer quickly retreated, looking at Lin Yun with a look of horror, and said.
He was the master of the twenty-seventh heaven, and he was very familiar with the use of the spatial power of each heaven. Although the other party used it very discreetly, there was absolutely no mistake.
The nineteenth to twenty-sixth heavens were broken by the Blood Emperor. Only the Blood Emperor could use the spatial power of the twenty-sixth heaven in this way, but the opponent was clearly a being from the living realm!
If the other party were not a living being, he would probably immediately assume that the other party was the Blood Emperor himself!
Even so, he was still terrified and subconsciously wondered if the other party had some connection with the Blood Emperor, or if the Blood Emperor was in the Twenty-Sixth Heaven Space and, seeing that he was dealing with this being, used the power of the Twenty-Sixth Heaven Space to help this being deal with him!
"Who do you think I am? Guomuboer, how dare you attack me!" Lin Yun looked at Guomuboer retreating rapidly, but did not chase after him. Instead, he said coldly.
As he spoke, Lin Yun's aura changed, and the aura of the Blood Emperor from his previous life was released, containing boundless majesty.
"You...you...you are the Blood Emperor?" Guomuboer's expression changed drastically, and he said in horror. As he spoke, his whole body trembled. The Blood Emperor's influence in his heart was too profound.
"I just killed the White Emperor in the Realm of Living Beings a while ago. Do you want to die too?" Lin Yun did not deny it and said calmly.
