"More than a hundred years of accumulation should be enough..."
Lin Yun looked up at the sky of the fortieth heaven and said softly.
"Buzz!"
As he spoke, a blood-red longsword suddenly appeared in Lin Yun's lowered right palm. The blood-red blade dipped straight down, trembling incessantly, and the tip of the sword constantly emitted blood-red light. The whole thing exuded a terrifying killing intent, and the surrounding space was slightly distorted, which showed how powerful the sword was.
This blood-red longsword is none other than the Blood Prison Sword.
"laugh!"
After the Blood Prison Sword appeared, Lin Yun didn't linger for long. The next moment, he took a slight step and soared into the sky. In an instant, he flew to a very high place. At that moment, he swung the Blood Prison Sword in his hand and slashed fiercely forward.
"Boom—"
A thunderous sound rang out, and at the same time, a powerful spatial rift appeared.
The next moment, massive amounts of pure Yin energy surged out from it, causing the entire space to tremble and booming all around.
The forty-first level has already been broken by Lin Yun!
Just one sword strike!
"really!"
In the sky, Lin Yun's lips curved slightly into a smile as he whispered.
He had not wasted his more than one hundred years of cultivation. He broke through the forty-first level of the Heavenly Realm with just one sword strike, and he felt that he still had a lot of strength left.
"boom!"
The next moment, Lin Yun's body rose again in mid-air and rushed into the spatial rift. His body quickly absorbed and refined the vast pure energy around him, and his aura surged rapidly.
Meanwhile, throughout the fortieth heaven.
"what happens?"
"The entire space is shaking?"
"Why does it sound so much like... the sound of the New Heaven being shattered?"
"Could it be that the Blood Emperor has broken through another new layer of heaven? Only a little over a hundred years have passed! Even in other layers, only a little over eleven years, a little over a year... and in the Great World of Living Beings, less than a day! In such a short time, the Blood Emperor has actually broken through another new layer of heaven?"
"Or perhaps other ghost cultivators took advantage of the great changes in the world to rise rapidly and break through the forty-first level?"
The ghost cultivators who were in seclusion were awakened by the commotion and rushed outside to look in the direction from which the noise came, their hearts filled with shock.
Most of them were powerful ghost cultivators who had experienced many times when new layers of heaven were broken. In particular, most of them were present when the Blood Emperor broke through four layers of new layers of heaven a hundred years ago. They were very familiar with the commotion of heaven and earth when new layers of heaven were broken.
At this moment, they were almost certain that this was the sound of the new Heaven being broken.
If this new layer of heaven was indeed broken by the Blood Emperor, they were shocked that the Blood Emperor could break through the new layer of heaven so quickly.
If this wasn't broken by the Blood Emperor... their hearts pounded. Not long ago, the Blood Emperor had given a message that if any other ghost cultivators tried to break through the new heaven, they should inform the Blood Emperor, and if the Blood Emperor wasn't there, they should try their best to stop them.
As it turned out, they hadn't sensed anything before, but judging from the current situation, the new Heavenly Realm had most likely been destroyed. If it was indeed destroyed by other ghost cultivators, then they might have been negligent.
"It's the Blood Emperor!"
"The forty-first heaven has been shattered by the Blood Emperor!"
"Good, good, good! The forty-first heaven has been broken, the Netherworld is evolving again, and our cultivation environment will improve once more!"
Soon, some ghost cultivators saw Lin Yun rushing towards the spatial rift, and their eyes lit up.
Since it was indeed the Blood Emperor who broke through the forty-first heaven, then there was nothing to worry about. They breathed a sigh of relief and were also happy for the Blood Emperor.
The thirty-seventh to forty-fifth heavens were set long ago by the Blood Emperor. Although they were all eager to reach the standard of breaking through to a new heaven, there was nothing to be disappointed about if it was the Blood Emperor who broke through.
In just over a hundred years, or even less than a day in the Great World of Living Beings, the Blood Emperor broke through four new layers of heaven and then broke through another new layer. This is the Blood Emperor's skill.
They are still far from being able to catch up, so naturally they are not unwilling or disappointed.
On the contrary, because the Blood Emperor has broken through another layer of the Heavenly Realm, they can not only cultivate quickly near the opening of the new Heavenly Realm in the fortieth Heaven, but the environment of the Netherworld will also improve a lot again. They can take advantage of this momentum to cultivate better and faster.
They are far behind now, but with this momentum, they are making rapid progress. They have no chance at the forty-first level, and they may not have a chance at the forty-second level yet.
They might still not have a chance at the forty-third heaven, the forty-fourth heaven, but what about the forty-fifth heaven if things continue like this?
The forty-fifth heaven was set by the Blood Emperor. Even if they still don't have a chance, by breaking through so many new heavens, even if they were pigs, they could still make great progress!
After the Blood Emperor broke through so many heavens, the subsequent heavens became increasingly difficult to break through. When the Blood Emperor stopped... that would be their chance!
"You can cultivate under the spatial rift..." Just then, Lin Yun's voice reached their ears.
During this time, these ghost cultivators had helped him a lot. Moreover, he was willing to cultivate these ghost cultivators, so he was not stingy with his resources.
"Very good!"
"Thank you, Blood Emperor!"
"We swear to follow the Blood Emperor to the death!"
The group of ghost cultivators exclaimed excitedly, and then they all rushed towards the spatial rift.
...
One day... two days...
One month... two months...
The opening of the forty-first heaven was a huge undertaking, taking a full two months to complete before the massive surge of pure Yin energy began to recede.
"The gains from breaking through each new layer of heaven exceed the sum of the gains from breaking through all the previous layers. It's truly remarkable..." Lin Yun murmured from high above, deeply shocked.
More than a hundred years ago, he broke through four new heavens in a row, but the gains were not as great as those from breaking through the forty-first heaven this time.
This made him marvel at the wonders of nature.
He didn't know how this magical rule came about; he could only follow it and try to gain the greatest benefit from it.
In just two months, he had already broken through to the Upper Saint King realm and stabilized it considerably.
As early as when he broke through the forty-first level of heaven, he felt that his sword still had some power left.
Perhaps he won't be able to break through the forty-second level of the Heavenly Realm, but once he breaks through to the Upper Saint King Realm, that should be enough.
However... he didn't intend to break it open...
Because he thought of something!
To break through a new world, the three key points are: young age, low cultivation level, and strong strength!
But actually, there is another very important factor!
It is the power of refining the origin of this world, as well as the power of the origin of the outside world!
Simply put, it is the power of the origin of both realms!
Previously, when he was in the Universe of Living Beings, he broke through a new layer of heaven and earth, and the primordial power of that Universe of Living Beings and the Great World of Living Beings outside was born, collectively known as the primordial power of the two realms, which he then quickly refined!
Then, the difficulty of breaking through the new heaven will increase significantly!
This increased difficulty is largely due to the power of the two realms' origin that he has refined!
Because he refined the primordial power of the outside world, when he exerted his strength, he always felt that the new heaven was not affected by the force, which greatly increased the difficulty for him to break through the new heaven!
In the Netherworld, this situation is much less severe!
This is actually one of the reasons why he broke through so many heavens!
Otherwise, given the difficulty of the Universe of Living Beings, he couldn't break through eight new heavens in his previous life, and he wouldn't be able to break through four new heavens so easily in this life either!
It turns out that he felt it was because he broke through the new heaven of the Netherworld that only one kind of primordial power of the Netherworld was born for him to refine!
After all, the Universe of Living Beings belongs to the Great World of Living Beings. The fact that he broke through the new heaven of the Universe of Living Beings and the original power of the Great World of Living Beings appeared is also an explainable situation!
However, the Netherworld is different from the Great World of Living Beings. The Netherworld does not have as many microcosms, and is even generally opposed to the Great World of Living Beings... In the entire world, not to mention that the Netherworld seems to be the highest level space, it is indeed the only high-level space with Yin attributes!
Therefore, it is quite normal that when he broke through the new heaven of the Netherworld, he only had the Netherworld's primal power to refine!
However, recently, he suddenly realized that after breaking through one new level of the Netherworld, the difficulty of breaking through the next new level of the Netherworld would increase significantly... If everything were as he thought, and he had only refined one kind of primal power of the Netherworld, it shouldn't be like this.
So he began to analyze it carefully, and through that analysis, he came to a conclusion.
After he broke through the new heaven of the Netherworld, the primal power he refined was indeed not just from the Netherworld. It seemed that there was also a trace of other primal power, which seemed to be even more advanced!
However, the relationship between this primordial power and the primordial power of the Netherworld is not like the relationship between the living universe and the living world in the living world!
Therefore, after he breaks through one new layer of the Netherworld, it will be more difficult to break through the next new layer, but the increased difficulty is not as difficult as that of the Living Universe!
then……
He thought of a possibility!
Since his refining of the power of the origin of the two realms has greatly increased the difficulty for him to break through to the new heaven!
So, what if he breaks through two or even three new heavens without refining the power of the two realms' origins? Wouldn't the difficulty level increase too quickly? Would he only need to reach the original standard?
For example, his original power could not only break through the forty-first level, but also the forty-second level, and even the forty-third level... The premise is that if he wants to break through the forty-second level, the forty-first level must not be broken by him! If he wants to break through the forty-third level, the first two levels must not be broken by him!
However, if he breaks through the three layers of heaven in one go, and during this time he does not refine a single trace of the power of the origin of the two realms, then is that possible?
This idea is actually related to Lin Yun's previous breakthrough of four new heavens!
At that time, he was in the thirty-sixth heaven. It only took him a few days to break through the four new heavens. Although the speed of refining the power of the two worlds was very fast, in such a short time, he could not refine it completely. This made it less difficult for him to break through the later heavens than he had originally imagined!
This made him vaguely aware of the opportunity within!
"My goal is to break through the thirty-seventh to forty-fifth heavens... Breaking through the forty-first and forty-second heavens is meaningless, because my ultimate goal is the forty-fifth heaven! If I stop in the middle, breaking through the forty-third to forty-fifth heavens will still be just as difficult!"
Whether you break through the forty-first and forty-second heavens separately or together, the result will be the same!
Furthermore, if I were to break through the forty-second to forty-fifth heavens in the future, breaking through the forty-second heaven first would allow me to refine a large amount of the power of the origin of the two realms, making it even more difficult for me to break through the forty-third to forty-fifth heavens in the future, which would be disadvantageous!
Only when I am absolutely certain, and when I have broken through all the layers of space before the forty-fifth heaven and the space of the forty-fifth heaven itself, can I exploit this loophole to break through to the forty-fifth heaven in one fell swoop!
Lin Yun thought to himself.
This is also why he didn't try to break through the forty-first and forty-second heavens in succession!
Because unless you quickly break through to the forty-fifth level, it's meaningless!
He broke through from the forty-first level to the forty-fifth level in one go? Just based on his level and strength as a mid-level Saint King?
Stop kidding! He can't do it!
Previously, when he broke through the thirty-seventh and fortieth heavens, it took him several days in total, and even then it wasn't enough... In just a few days, he had almost refined the power of the two realms' origin that had descended from heaven and earth when he broke through those heavens!
The loophole he was looking for was to break through layer after layer of new heavens before refining the power of the two realms' origins. Once he had refined a large amount of the power of the two realms' origins, he would fail!
After breaking through the 37th to 40th Heaven, he refined a large amount of the power of the origin of the two realms, which greatly increased the difficulty for him to break through the new Heaven. Is it possible for him to break through the 41st to 45th Heaven more quickly and continuously?
Therefore, Lin Yun dismissed this idea early on and honestly broke through the forty-first level of the Heaven!
"I've already broken through too many new realms. I'm currently at the intermediate Saint King level, so it's impossible for me to break through to the forty-fifth realm... Only by breaking through to the advanced Saint King level will I have any hope!"
"It's best not to break through to the peak Saint King realm, otherwise, the difficulty will increase as the realm increases!"
"Next, I will hone my superior Saint King realm diligently, striving to significantly improve my strength... Let's see if I can quickly break through to the forty-fifth level at the last moment!"
Lin Yun thought to himself.
There are four heavens in total, from the forty-first to the forty-fifth. This is no small challenge, and he really needs to plan carefully!
He had a vague idea in his mind: if he was just a little short at the last moment, he might be able to take advantage of the opportunity to break through to the peak Saint King level... When he broke through to the peak Saint King level, his strength would increase greatly, which might allow him to complete this plan!
However, he must be careful not to take too long to break through to the peak Saint King level, because once he pauses, he will start to refine a large amount of the power of the two realms' origin. At that time, the difficulty of breaking through to the new heaven will greatly increase, and his breakthrough will be in vain!
Perhaps, the difficulty for him to break through to the new Heaven is even greater than it was before he made the breakthrough!
