"Wu Bufan, a ghost cultivator from the 34th Heaven, greets the Blood Emperor!"
"Ao Long, a ghost cultivator from the thirty-fifth heaven, greets the Blood Emperor. I was unaware of the Blood Emperor's identity before and dared to attack him. I beg the Blood Emperor to punish me!"
Seeing this, Emperor Wu and Emperor Ao dared not delay any longer and quickly bowed to Lin Yun with great respect.
As they spoke, they were filled with unease. They knew that they had put in a lot of effort when dealing with Lin Yun, especially Ao Long, whose world-destroying light had just extinguished a significant portion of Lin Yun's life force.
Emperor Wu and his friends chased Lin Yun from the 34th Heaven to the 36th Heaven. Although they did not fight Lin Yun at that time, their behavior was extremely bad. In addition, when he dealt with Lin Yun later, he used various words to incite him and did a lot of work. He was also afraid that Lin Yun would pursue the matter.
If Lin Yun were to cause them trouble, given that so many ghost cultivators have already sided with him, probably very few would help him. With Lin Yun's strength, they would be in serious trouble.
This is actually why they have always been unwilling to believe that Lin Yun is the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor, and they have never wanted to admit it. In short, they do not have the courage of the Three-Eyed Emperor.
However, now, they have no choice but to bow and scrape before Lin Yun.
Many ghost cultivators have already bowed their heads; if they don't do the same, they'll be left out.
At that time, even if Lin Yun took action against them, they would have no grounds for argument.
As Emperor Wu and Emperor Ao bowed to Lin Yun, the remaining ghost cultivators also hurriedly bowed to Lin Yun, including those below who were later attracted by the commotion and whose strength was not at the Saint King level. None of them remained.
Unlike the ghost cultivators who had just attacked Lin Yun and were filled with trepidation, those ghost cultivators who arrived later, whose strength was below the Saint King realm, were mostly excited.
The Blood Emperor, a top legend in their Netherworld, has actually shown himself.
And upon its appearance, it broke through the fourth level of the Netherworld, proving itself not only worthy of the title of a top-tier legend, but even more powerful.
Since their strength was below the Saint King realm, most of them did not have much ambition. In their view, the loss of benefits from the breaking of the New Heaven was irrelevant to them. On the contrary, the environment of the Netherworld would be rapidly improved, which might bring them great benefits. Therefore, most of them had no dissatisfaction. Instead, they were very grateful to the Blood Emperor and admired him greatly.
The Blood Emperor truly lives up to his name, a top legend in the Netherworld. Every Saint King-level ghost cultivator here is renowned throughout the Netherworld. Especially those high-ranking Saint Kings, some of whom are even ghost cultivators who are among the Nine Emperors alongside the Blood Emperor. Each of them is a top-tier existence in the Netherworld, and they all have to respectfully bow to the Blood Emperor when they see him.
This shows that the Blood Emperor's prestige and strength far surpass these top-tier beings, making him the undisputed number one among the Nine Emperors.
The Blood Emperor lived up to the expectations of many ghost cultivators, and from then on, they too would become his worshippers.
...
Beneath the spatial vortex, Lin Yun frowned slightly, remaining silent.
He knew that the reason his name was so effective was because his strength had reached its peak. Otherwise, if his strength remained the same, his name might intimidate many ghost cultivators in the Netherworld, but it could also bring him a lot of trouble.
For example, Bai Di, the powerful ghost cultivator who had previously entered the realm of living beings to deal with him, knew his identity, yet still dared to confront him.
No matter where you are, ultimately, it's strength that matters.
Previously, he had concealed his identity and prevented Guomuboer from revealing his affairs, for the same reason.
However, now that his strength has reached its peak, he has no rivals in the Netherworld, so there is no need for him to hide anymore.
Now that these ghost cultivators are bowing respectfully to him, he can no longer afford to attack them.
"Considering you didn't know my identity before, I will forgive your past offenses. You may leave now. If you dare to offend me again, I will not forgive you!" Lin Yun said slowly, his eyes slightly narrowed.
His main purpose in coming to the Netherworld was to improve his strength, so there was no need for him to continue getting entangled with these ghost cultivators. Perhaps, killing these ghost cultivators would greatly increase his strength, and the crystal cores and items on these ghost cultivators were also valuable treasures.
However, he now has many ways to improve his strength, so there is no need for him to care about these things.
He dares to kill and fight, but he doesn't want to kill or fight indiscriminately; that's not in his nature.
"ah?"
Some of the ghost cultivators were taken aback, not expecting Lin Yun to let them go so easily.
"Yes, yes, thank you for your mercy, Blood Emperor..."
Some of the ghost cultivators were overjoyed and expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
They truly did not want to be enemies with the Blood Emperor. Previously, they were unaware of the Blood Emperor's identity; if they had known, they would never have made a move.
"Um?"
Some of the ghost cultivators were also aroused. Many intelligent beings are prone to suspicion. Lin Yun's easy release of them made them suspicious. How could the other party let them go so easily when he had the upper hand?
The treasures they possess are also of great value!
If they are the Blood Emperor, in this situation, they will definitely win over some, guide others, and deal with others, ultimately reaping a huge fortune!
Thinking this, they couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with the fact that this young creature was the Blood Emperor. Otherwise, why would he do this? Or perhaps, the other party's strength couldn't be sustained, and it was already difficult to continue. After all, even if the other party was the Blood Emperor, a lower-level Saint King, it would be difficult to possess such great strength, not to mention that the Blood Emperor had been a living being for his entire life.
Once this thought arose in their minds, they could no longer resist it!
“Blood Emperor, it’s not that I’m being paranoid, but we believe you are the Blood Emperor and respect you. Shouldn’t you do something to prove your identity? I think this is what many ghost cultivators here want to know…” Soon, a peak Saint King level ghost cultivator straightened up, looked at Lin Yun, and said.
As he spoke, he glanced at the ghost cultivators present, then looked at Lin Yun with bright eyes and a confident expression.
He was a ghost cultivator at the peak of the Saint King realm. Although he was not among the Nine Emperors, he believed that his strength was no less than that of some of the ghost cultivators among the Nine Emperors. However, he had always lacked an opportunity to demonstrate his strength, which was why he was not included among the Nine Emperors.
He was very confident in his strength, especially in his innate supernatural abilities. He believed that even if the other party was the Blood Emperor, they might not be able to do anything to him. Therefore, he was qualified to have an equal dialogue with the other party.
"Um?"
Upon hearing the words of this peak Saint King level ghost cultivator, those ghost cultivators with ulterior motives all had a sudden thought.
"Toad King, how dare you speak to the Blood Emperor like that!" On the other side, Guomuboer looked at the peak Saint King level ghost cultivator and shouted angrily.
He was actually trying to curry favor with Lin Yun. Previously, he had revealed Lin Yun's identity to the Three-Eyed Emperor and had also privately investigated Lin Yun's information. He was afraid that Lin Yun would pursue him after this incident, so why not take advantage of this opportunity created by the peak Saint King level ghost cultivator to make a good impression?
If he behaves well, it shouldn't be difficult for the Blood Emperor to forgive him, given his magnanimity.
“Guomuboer, I’m just telling the truth. You told the Three-Eyed Emperor and the Liwei Emperor that he is the Blood Emperor, fine, we’ll all acknowledge him as the Blood Emperor and bow to him with utmost respect! Shouldn’t he do something? I’m just speaking the minds of everyone. You can ask the ghost cultivators present, isn’t what I’m saying what they’re thinking?” The peak Saint King level ghost cultivator, the Toad King that Guomuboer mentioned, glanced at Guomuboer and said disdainfully.
He didn't take a mid-level Saint King-level ghost cultivator seriously, who was just lucky enough to break through the twenty-seventh level of the Netherworld.
"You—" Guomuboer's expression changed drastically, and he shouted angrily.
However, before he could finish speaking, he blocked Lin Yun's aura.
"You're not only unsure of my identity, but also unsure of my strength, right?" Then, under the spatial vortex, Lin Yun gave this peak Saint King level ghost cultivator a deep look and slowly said.
In the past few days, he has broken through four new layers of the Netherworld. In his previous life, he broke through eight new layers of the Netherworld. He can still have a great influence on those eight layers in this life.
In total, he broke through twelve new layers of the Netherworld.
His influence on the Netherworld is something that ordinary cultivators can hardly imagine.
Furthermore, the space where these ghost cultivators reside is the thirty-seventh heaven, the very new heaven he just broke through.
Although this peak Saint King level ghost cultivator released weak spiritual power when he spoke, and controlled his various thoughts very well, did you really think he couldn't sense it?
Previously, the peak Saint King level ghost cultivator bowed to him much later, clearly showing his dissatisfaction but having no choice but to bow to him due to the prevailing circumstances.
Now, this peak Saint King level ghost cultivator wants to use words to arouse the desires of the ghost cultivators in order to achieve his goal. Does he really think he can't feel it?
"You!" Upon hearing Lin Yun reveal his deepest thoughts, the Toad King's expression changed. He then snorted coldly and said, "Don't try to smear me. Back then, it was because the Blood Emperor broke through eight new heavens in succession that the Netherworld entered a great era of cultivation, which led to the rapid development of the Netherworld's overall strength and the emergence of countless geniuses. Many ghost cultivators in the Netherworld are extremely grateful to the Blood Emperor!"
I just don't want the Blood Emperor to be impersonated, and I don't want everyone to be deceived. If you're not guilty, why don't you show us some information that can prove your identity?
I think the reason why the Three-Eyed Emperor, the Liwei Emperor, and other ghost cultivators are so certain that you are the Blood Emperor must be because they have irrefutable proof of your identity, right?
"Toad, don't cause trouble. The Blood Emperor has probably been reincarnated and is now cultivating anew. His information is different from his previous life. Besides, we don't know much about the Blood Emperor in his previous life, so how can we prove it? In short, I believe he is the Blood Emperor!" This time, it was Empress Liwei who spoke up, her beautiful eyes coldly looking at the Toad King, and she said in a deep voice.
"Should? Anyway? Heh, so all of this was just your guess and feeling, Empress Liwei. I thought you had some solid evidence to be so sure he was the Blood Emperor!" The Toad King chuckled and said.
"Three-Eyed Emperor, you wouldn't be like that, would you? If so, you've really misled everyone!" Then, the Toad King turned to look at the Three-Eyed Emperor and laughed.
"No way?"
"Could it be..."
"I thought..."
Upon hearing the Toad King's words, the ghost cultivators were in an uproar. Some of them looked at the Three-Eyed Emperor, the Liwei Emperor, Bomuguer, and other ghost cultivators with suspicion. Some even looked at Lin Yun with suspicion.
The Toad King's words successfully guided public opinion and the psychology of the ghost cultivators.
"if……"
Seeing this, Emperor Wu and Emperor Ao's eyes flashed with light as they thought to themselves.
At this moment, their minds became active again.
It wasn't that they weren't afraid of the Blood Emperor or this powerful young being; rather, the benefits he possessed were too great: the Netherworld's primordial power that had broken through the fourth level of the Netherworld, and that blood sword. In particular, they strongly suspected that the reason he had broken through the Netherworld's fourth level so easily was closely related to that blood sword.
If they actually kill the other side, these benefits will fall into their laps.
If the opponent is truly the Blood Emperor, their chances of killing him are naturally slim.
However, if the other party is not the Blood Emperor, but a true living being, a living being in the past life and a living being in this life, and a living being from beginning to end, then it is quite normal for ghost cultivators to be naturally opposed to living beings, and for them to be on the side of righteousness and kill the other party at all costs.
All these changes will unfold in the future...
"Toad King, I am certain of the Blood Emperor's identity, and there is irrefutable evidence for it. But you, you have harbored thoughts you shouldn't have. Are you courting death?" The Three-Eyed Emperor released a powerful aura and coldly looked at the Toad King, saying.
He didn't have Lin Yun's powerful senses, but he wasn't stupid. He could guess the other party's intentions just from their tone and behavior. The other party was really bold, daring to make a move against the Blood Emperor and even question him.
“Three-Eyed Emperor, speak up…” the Toad King said in a deep voice.
“Alright, since you want me to show you something to prove my identity, then I’ll show you…” But at this moment, Lin Yun interrupted the toad king, chuckled, and said.
For some reason, even though Lin Yun spoke very casually, the Toad King's expression changed upon hearing it, and at the same time, an extreme chill arose in his heart.
Many of the senses possessed by powerful individuals at their level did not arise out of thin air.
"not good!"
At that moment, the Toad King was horrified.
He knew that the other party might be about to make a move against him.
call!
The next moment, the Toad King quickly disappeared into the distance.
However, it was still a bit late.
A terrifying force struck the toad king, causing its body to explode instantly.
With a single move, Lin Yun shattered the body of the Toad King, a peak Saint King-level ghost cultivator. This was Lin Yun's current power.
"Hmm?" However, Lin Yun raised an eyebrow slightly.
He discovered that this toad king was not a simple peak Saint King level ghost cultivator, but also possessed a powerful innate divine ability. Just as he unleashed his power on the toad king, the toad king activated its innate divine ability.
