Seeing Guomuboer's reaction, the Three-Eyed Emperor's heart sank. How could he not know that Guomuboer might really know the origin and identity of this little creature?
Knowing this, yet remaining silent, how audacious is this Guomuboer? Or perhaps, what kind of identity does this young man possess that Guomuboer dares not offend?
In an instant, the Three-Eyed Emperor thought, and even wondered, could this young creature be backed by a powerful god from the Great World of Living Beings?
Thinking this, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Otherwise, given that Guomuboer's strength and status in the Netherworld were not low, and that he, a top ghost cultivator in the Netherworld, was asking him questions, why was he still behaving this way?
Unless... the other party's background surpasses that of these top ghost cultivators from the Netherworld!
So, what kind of background surpasses theirs in the vast world of living beings? The answer... seems self-evident!
Although no god-level expert has ever entered the Netherworld since its birth, they speculate that there must be great restrictions on god-level experts entering the Netherworld, just like how the experts of the Great World of Living Beings cannot enter the unopened universe of living beings. In a sense, isn't the Netherworld also an unopened "universe"?
But in the end, this is just speculation. The Three-Eyed Emperor was still very wary of such legendary powerhouses!
For a moment, the Three-Eyed Emperor's expression changed uncertainly. If the person behind him was indeed a powerful god from the Great World of Living Beings, should he continue to lead the ghost cultivators to kill this young man from the Great World of Living Beings?
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Just then, on the battlefield, Ao Di suddenly spat out a beam of black light that flew towards Lin Yun. All of Lin Yun's defensive layers were rendered ineffective and were instantly pierced. At the same time, Lin Yun's life force rapidly dissipated, and his movements were also slightly halted. Just then, other powerful ghost cultivators launched attacks on Lin Yun, quickly causing the defensive layers he had released around him to collapse and injuring his body severely.
"Hmm?" The Three-Eyed Emperor's pupils contracted slightly.
This change was somewhat unexpected for him. As the saying goes, one wrong step leads to another. In battles between the strong, a difference of a millisecond can mean the difference between life and death. Originally, the situation of his group of ghost cultivators was not good, but now, the situation has been completely reversed. If they continue with this advantage, it is not impossible for them to quickly kill this living boy.
This advantage was established by the black light that Ao Di spewed out. When that black light was spewed out, the Three-Eyed Emperor felt a strange sense of tension in his heart. Looking at the situation of that living creature, it was clear that this black light was not simple.
Unexpectedly, Ao Di possessed such a unique skill.
In the past, he had underestimated his opponent. It seems that his opponent's ability to reach his current level was not entirely due to luck.
The Three-Eyed Emperor thought to himself.
If this had happened earlier, the Three-Eyed Emperor might have been happy and excited, and immediately incited the ghost cultivators to quickly kill this young creature.
However, after seeing Guomuboer's hesitation, the Three-Eyed Emperor also felt a little hesitant.
"The light of destruction?"
On the other side, Lin Yun looked up at Ao Di, also slightly surprised.
He never expected that this black dragon could unleash the legendary light of destruction. This thing is said to be born when a living universe is destroyed, and is often wielded by some world-destroying creatures. Its power is extremely strong, especially when it is used to destroy a living universe.
Unexpectedly, a powerful ghost cultivator from the Netherworld could actually use it.
"Could it be that this black dragon was a world-destroying black dragon in its previous life? After becoming a ghost cultivator, it can still use its previous abilities. It's quite extraordinary. Indeed, these top-level ghost cultivators in the Netherworld should not be underestimated..." Lin Yun took a deep breath and thought to himself.
This incident, however, served as a wake-up call for him. During this period, due to the awakening of his memories from his previous three lives, his ego had become somewhat inflated, leading him to look down on many things.
Indeed, in one life he was the Crown Prince of the God Clan, a transcendent being among the most powerful beings in the entire World of Living Beings; in another life he was the Blood Emperor of the Netherworld, a top legend in the entire Netherworld, a top ghost cultivator who ushered in a great era for the Netherworld; in yet another life he was a Saint King-level cultivator in the World of Living Beings. Although he did not reach the top level, it was mainly due to insufficient time, and his cultivation at that time was quite smooth.
Having awakened these memories, how could he possibly look up to ordinary cultivators again?
Back when he was the Blood Emperor, most of these ghost cultivators were still low-level beings!
However, reality told him that he was able to become a top ghost cultivator in the Netherworld mainly because of the talent of the Crown Prince of the God Clan, while these ghost cultivators were able to become top ghost cultivators in the Netherworld through their own opportunities and reliance.
The Three-Eyed Emperor's divine eye and the Black Dragon's world-destroying light are both extraordinary beings. If such ghost cultivators were to reach the divine realm in the future, they would not be ordinary divine realm cultivators.
"I can't go on like this, otherwise I might really be doomed..." Lin Yun thought to himself after a pause.
The next moment, Lin Yun raised his eyes and looked up at the sky.
After this battle, he became very familiar with his own power and also condensed many forces into one.
"The fortieth level should be broken through by now..."
A glint of light flashed in Lin Yun's eyes as he spoke in a low voice.
When he was at the level of a superior sage king, he broke through the thirty-seventh heaven.
At the peak of the Saintly Monarch realm, he broke through the thirty-eighth heaven.
When he was at the level of a lower-ranking Saint King, he broke through the thirty-ninth heaven.
However, when he broke through to the lower-level Saint King realm, it didn't mean his power increased accordingly...
His cultivation level improved too quickly. Even with memories of three lifetimes, he still needed to thoroughly integrate the power within his body with his physical form!
At that time, our strength was scattered!
Now, let's unite our strength!
The increase in strength between the two periods is also enormous!
Now that he has broken through the fortieth level of heaven... he is confident!
Thinking this, Lin Yun cleaved through the surrounding ghost cultivators with a single sword strike, then stomped his foot and soared upwards into the sky.
"Oh no! He's heading for an even higher realm!"
“Now, the space of the thirty-eighth and thirty-ninth heavens has been opened up to a considerable extent. He broke through these two heavens. If he escapes through them, it will be even more troublesome for us to deal with him again…”
"Don't let him escape..."
"Kill! His strength is exhausted, kill him now!"
Seeing this, the powerful ghost cultivators who were besieging Lin Yun became excited and chased after him. If they were caught off guard, Lin Yun would escape their encirclement and flee to a higher realm. Once he escaped, the trouble would become much greater. At this moment, they desperately hoped that a powerful ghost cultivator could stop Lin Yun.
Unfortunately, time was of the essence, and not a single powerful ghost cultivator could stop Lin Yun.
Or perhaps, no powerful ghost cultivator is willing to risk their own life for the benefits gained by the other ghost cultivators. Who doesn't know that the other side is currently fleeing for their life? If they are stopped, wouldn't they fight desperately?
Damn it!
"He has escaped into the thirty-eighth heaven, and even more so, he may enter the thirty-ninth heaven!"
Soon, the ghost cultivators watched helplessly as Lin Yun rushed into the thirty-eighth level of heaven, and they couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Emperor Ao and Emperor Wu also frowned slightly.
Actually, they had a chance to stop Lin Yun just now, but they didn't want to benefit each other. Unexpectedly, they actually let the other party escape to the thirty-eighth heaven.
"past!"
"Kill! The thirty-eighth heaven is rapidly opening up; this kid might not be able to borrow much of its power!"
Soon, they all said that at this point, this was the only way.
Other powerful ghost cultivators also rushed to attack. Fortunately, they had severely injured the young creature earlier, so they weren't too afraid to catch up now.
"call!"
After entering the thirty-eighth heaven, Lin Yun did not linger and quickly entered the thirty-ninth heaven.
At this time, the thirty-seventh, thirty-eighth, and thirty-ninth heavens were being created. The three realms were actually interconnected, but were separated by an invisible spatial layer.
In the thirty-seventh heaven, if one is strong and has good eyesight, one can actually see the scenes of the other two heavens.
Therefore, none of the powerful ghost cultivators who were watching chased after them; they simply watched from a distance.
Naturally, Guomuboer did not chase after him. Moreover, he breathed a sigh of relief. The Three-Eyed Emperor had also left the Thirty-Seventh Heaven. Thus, he no longer had to grapple with the dilemma of whether or not to reveal the Blood Emperor's identity to the Three-Eyed Emperor.
However, he quickly hesitated, wondering if he should leave so that he wouldn't be caught in a dilemma again if the same thing happened.
It was obvious that the Three-Eyed Emperor had begun to suspect him, and might question him again at any time.
He had already failed to reveal the Blood Emperor's identity twice, and if he did not do so a third time, he would definitely anger the Three-Eyed Emperor.
However, if he leaves, on the one hand, he will miss the opportunity of the vast pure energy descending from heaven and earth when the three new heavens break through. On the other hand, if the Three-Eyed Emperor ends up unharmed, will he really not hold a grudge against him?
What if the Three-Eyed Emperor comes looking for him afterward? How should he deal with it? It's better to stay here and adapt to the situation!
With this in mind, Guomuboer could only force himself to calm down and watch the battle from there.
"Boom!"
However, at that moment, a tremendous commotion came from above again, and the entire Netherworld trembled.
"Crack! Boom!"
A powerful spatial rift appeared, and terrifying amounts of pure天地力 (heaven and earth power) poured out from it, rapidly spreading throughout the entire Netherworld.
"This, this, this..."
"Another layer of space has been opened?"
"Has the fortieth level of the Netherworld been opened?"
All the powerful ghost cultivators looked up in shock at the place where the thirty-ninth heaven was rapidly opening up. They saw a new space being born within it, and they were all in disbelief.
In just a few days, the thirty-seventh, thirty-eighth, and thirty-ninth heavens were broken open!
Now, even the fortieth heaven has been broken through!
Whew! Whew! Whew!
The next moment, all the ghost cultivators focused their attention on the new spatial vortex. There, a cold-faced young man stood proudly, holding a blood sword in his hand.
Just now, it was the young man who, wielding the blood sword, cleaved open this new space with a single strike.
This boy was the very same young creature that the top-tier ghost cultivators of the Netherworld had just besieged.
The four heavens... were all broken by this young creature?
The expressions of some of the ghost cultivators kept changing.
Some of the ghost cultivators gasped in shock.
Some ghost cultivators felt their hearts bleed. Perhaps this young creature possessed some means to easily break through the new layers of the Netherworld. For example, the blood sword in the young creature's hand might belong to the Blood Emperor. Back then, the Blood Emperor possessed this sword and cleaved through eight layers of the new layers of the Netherworld in succession. Now, this young creature had cleaved through four layers of the new layers in succession. They had good reason to suspect that this sword was the key reason why this young creature and the Blood Emperor had successively broken through the new layers of the Netherworld.
If they also obtain this sword, they will become top-tier ghost cultivators who break through the new heavens of the Netherworld. What is the small amount of Netherworld origin power that they share with other ghost cultivators?
However, there must be conditions for using this sword to break through the new heaven of the Netherworld, such as having stronger personal strength... Now, with each new heaven that Lin Yun breaks through, they feel that their hope of breaking through the new heaven in the future decreases by one point, and naturally their hearts bleed. They have already begun to fantasize about obtaining the blood sword in Lin Yun's hands.
"boom--"
Just then, Lin Yun's aura surged again, transforming from that of a lower-level Saint King into that of a mid-level Saint King.
In the previous battle, Lin Yun's life force was severely damaged. However, the ghost cultivator's soul power absorbed by the Blood Prison Sword was also enormous. Now, taking advantage of the opportunity to break through the new heaven of the Netherworld, Lin Yun was able to break through to the intermediate Saint King realm!
Yes, breaking through the fortieth level of the Netherworld was not Lin Yun's goal!
Breaking through the 40th Heaven of the Netherworld and gaining the opportunity to break through to the intermediate Saint King realm is what Lin Yun desires!
Only in this way can his strength increase significantly, allowing him to calmly face this battle!
His purpose in entering the Netherworld this time was also to increase his strength as much as possible!
Whew! Whew! Whew!
After breaking through the bottleneck, Lin Yun's aura began to surge rapidly, and the power within his body began to rapidly transform towards the intermediate Saint King level!
"Mid-level Saint King Realm!"
"He has broken through to the intermediate Saint King realm!"
"Oops!"
However, upon seeing this scene, the group of ghost cultivators' expressions changed drastically once again, and they exclaimed in disbelief.
When this young man was at the lower Saint King level, they had already witnessed how powerful he was. It was only with great difficulty that they managed to severely injure him. Now that he has broken through to the middle Saint King level, his injuries have probably completely healed. But that's not the most important thing. Just how much has his strength increased?
"not good!"
"I never expected this kid to break through to the fortieth level again. If I had known, I wouldn't have let him enter the thirty-eighth or thirty-ninth level..."
Emperor Wu and Emperor Ao also looked grim, clenching their fists in deep regret.
They had the opportunity to stop this young creature, but they didn't.
Actually, it's not their fault. Who would have thought that a mere creature at the lower Saint King level could break through three new layers of the Netherworld and then break through another layer?
Even the Blood Emperor, who created the miracle back then, could not have done this.
"How is this possible... How is this possible... The Netherworld's new heavens are so difficult to break through, how could he do it so easily..." The Three-Eyed Emperor also stared wide-eyed, saying incredulously.
How difficult it must have been for him to break through the thirty-sixth heaven of the Netherworld back then?
He attacked the Netherworld's High Heavens for several days before finally breaking through!
Now, the opponent broke through with just one move!
Before this, three new layers of heaven had already been broken!
Nine times out of ten... they'll all use the same move!
In just a few days, the opponent broke through four new levels of the Netherworld!
"Guomuboer! Who is he? Who exactly is he?" Suddenly, the Three-Eyed Emperor's body trembled, and he turned around sharply to look at Guomuboer below, angrily transmitting his voice.
If, at this moment, Guomuboer told him that this young creature was the reincarnation of a divine realm expert from the Great World of Living Beings, he would believe it too. Right now, all he wanted was an answer.
Below.
When Guomuboer heard the Three-Eyed Emperor's angry voice, his body trembled, and he recovered from the shock. He looked at the Three-Eyed Emperor and smiled bitterly to himself.
He knew that this time, there was no escaping it.
“Three-Eyed Emperor, do you really not know who he is? You have already recognized the blood sword in his hand. The Blood Emperor has not appeared for many years. You should be able to guess his identity…” Guomuboer sighed deeply and transmitted his voice to the Three-Eyed Emperor.
"Blood Emperor? You mean... he is the Blood Emperor... Could it be that he is the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor? How is that possible?" The Three-Eyed Emperor's body trembled, and he transmitted his voice in disbelief.
The Blood Emperor, a legend of the Netherworld, was a top-tier ghost cultivator who led a great era. When the Blood Emperor became famous, he was just an ordinary Saint-level ghost cultivator in the Netherworld.
At that time, the Blood Emperor was a lofty and unparalleled being in his eyes, a legendary being, an invincible being.
At a time when even high-ranking ghost cultivators in the Netherworld dared not enter the Great World of Living Beings, when the Saint King-level beings in the Great World of Living Beings were seen as invincible, and when the top experts of the Great World of Living Beings could freely enter the Netherworld to hunt down ghost cultivators, the Blood Emperor's feat of slaying ten thousand Saints with a single sword strike and causing the fall of several Saint King-level beings in the Great World of Living Beings shook the entire Netherworld.
That battle shocked the entire Great World of Living Beings. From then on, the top experts of the Great World of Living Beings no longer dared to enter the Netherworld at will.
From then on, the Netherworld entered a magnificent era. The powerful figures of the Netherworld no longer needed to worry about being hunted down by the powerful beings of the Great World of Living Beings. One after another, powerful ghost cultivators and geniuses emerged.
The powerful beings at the Divine Realm in the Great World of Living Beings were indeed beings he greatly feared.
But the Blood Emperor from back then was someone he feared even more.
The divine realm experts of the Great World of Living Beings are too far removed from him, and whether they can ultimately enter the Netherworld is still uncertain.
The Blood Emperor, however, was a being in the Netherworld who could appear beside them at any time. Therefore, the Blood Emperor held a greater weight of fear in their hearts.
Many ghost cultivators have spread the rumor that the Blood Emperor has not appeared for so long, which means he may have exhausted his talent and his strength may not be stronger than the top-ranked ghost cultivators among the Nine Emperors, or even as strong as the Three-Eyed Emperor.
Sometimes, he felt a little smug, but he knew in his heart that if the Blood Emperor were to reappear, the gap between him and the Blood Emperor would probably be quite large. Even though he was the Lord of the Thirty-Sixth Heaven and the highest Heaven Lord in the Netherworld at the time, he had no confidence at all in facing the Blood Emperor.
Now, Guomuboer actually told him that this young creature was the Blood Emperor. How could he not be shocked?
