The nineteenth heaven was not Lin Yun's destination. Soon, with a thought, Lin Yun began to continue traversing deeper into the heavens!
The twentieth heaven!
The Twenty-first Heaven!
The Twenty-Second Heaven!
...
Before long, Lin Yun passed through the twenty-sixth heaven and entered the twenty-seventh heaven!
"The twenty-seventh heaven..." Looking at the new space before him, a complex look flashed in Lin Yun's eyes as he murmured.
Back then, he broke through all the heavens from the nineteenth to the twenty-sixth, and then he re-entered the cycle of reincarnation. Otherwise, if nothing unexpected had happened, he should have broken through the twenty-seventh heaven as well.
He had a premonition that if he broke through all the levels from the nineteenth to the twenty-seventh, some changes would occur in him.
This premonition is not without reason.
Nine is the number of the Great Way.
Looking at the various evolutions of the Great Dao, it is clear that each of the nine heavens belongs to a small whole.
Therefore, the countless universes of beings in the Great World of Beings are mostly divided into nine levels, such as the Nine Heavens Universe, the Eighteen Heavens Universe, the Twenty-Seven Heavens Universe, the Thirty-Six Heavens Universe, and so on up to the Eighty-One Heavens Universe.
Almost all of them are multiples of nine.
As for universes with intermediate multiples, they do exist, but such universes clearly give people a sense of incompleteness.
Therefore, many practitioners believe that only when the number of heavens in a universe is a multiple of nine can it be considered a complete microcosm. This is also how the levels of a living being's universe are usually classified.
An incomplete universe, because the Heavenly Dao is incomplete, may not necessarily be better than a complete universe with a low number of superheavens, even if the number of superheavens is high.
Just as a universe with forty heavens cannot form a new cycle, in many ways, it is not necessarily better than a universe with thirty-six heavens.
The nineteenth to twenty-seventh heavens constitute a small whole.
Unfortunately, when he entered the cycle of reincarnation, he didn't break through the twenty-seventh heaven, missing it by only one level... which inevitably made him feel a little regretful. It's not easy for a cultivator to break through nine heavens of an entire universe in succession.
The Netherworld is said to have eighty-one heavens. It is very likely that all eighty-one heavens have been broken through, and no cultivator has ever been able to do so.
However, this is also why the twenty-seventh heaven is not so easy to break through.
Each of the nine heavens is a small whole, and the last three heavens of each nine heavens are more difficult to break through, which is similar to the fact that the last three heavens of every universe are also difficult to break through.
The final three heavens are each more difficult to break through than the last, which is why Lin Yun entered reincarnation before breaking through the twenty-seventh heaven.
Because time waits for no one, by the time he breaks through the twenty-seventh heaven and enters reincarnation, it might be too late.
"From the nineteenth to the twenty-sixth heaven, I felt completely at ease when I entered each one, and there was a mysterious assisting force... After I entered the twenty-seventh heaven, this feeling obviously disappeared..." Lin Yun said in a low voice.
call!
With a wave of his hand, Lin Yun opened the barrier between the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth heavens once again.
This highlights the difference.
Previously, when he was in the nineteenth to twenty-sixth heavens, he didn't exert much power; he opened the barrier to the next heaven with just a thought.
He could no longer use the spatial power of the twenty-seventh heaven, and this would continue to be the case for the rest of the time.
"Buzz!"
The 28th Heaven appeared, and just as Lin Yun was about to enter the 28th Heaven, a powerful aura suddenly rushed towards him.
"A Saint-level being? Heh, what audacity! Daring to enter the twenty-seventh heaven of the Netherworld! Perfect timing, I, Guomuboer, have just woken up, consider me my snack! A Saint-level being should be quite delicious!" The next moment, this powerful aura appeared in front of Lin Yun and laughed loudly.
"boom!"
As they spoke, the owner of this powerful aura unleashed a powerful domain force, rapidly enveloping Lin Yun.
"Um?"
Lin Yun frowned slightly, and an equally powerful domain force rushed towards Guomuboer.
"Boom!"
The next moment, their domain powers collided, creating a tremendous noise and sound.
"The Lord of the Twenty-Seventh Heaven?" Lin Yun asked in a deep voice.
Upon exchanging blows, he sensed that this Guomuboer possessed the power of the twenty-seventh level of the Netherworld, a mark of the first cultivator to break through this level.
In the Netherworld, the lords of each heaven often refer to such cultivators in this way.
He forcibly broke through the barriers between heavens, and with his powerful energy fluctuations, he was most likely to be discovered by the lords of each heaven. However, he thought that as long as he was fast enough, by the time they discovered him, they might not be able to catch up with him.
It should be noted that once he enters a higher realm, that higher realm will no longer be the other party's territory.
In the Netherworld, there are quite a few cultivators who can break through every barrier between heavens; it would be too troublesome to manage and question each one.
Therefore, even if the lords of each heaven were to notice such a thing, they might not necessarily intervene.
Therefore, Lin Yun continued to move around like this without any worries.
Unexpectedly, he was discovered just as he traversed from the nineteenth to the twenty-sixth heaven, and was just traversing his own "territory" in the twenty-seventh heaven.
It's bad luck that we found it, and then got stopped by the other party.
"It should be my own identity as a living being..." Lin Yun thought with a frown.
A powerful ghost cultivator can traverse the boundaries of each heaven without the other party interfering, but the passage of living beings must be intervened.
Living beings are considered delicacies by ghost cultivators, let alone a superior Saint King-level being like him; he is simply the most delicious of all.
However, this would cause some trouble.
It wasn't that he was afraid of this Guomuboer; Guomuboer's strength was nothing to him.
Rather, his destination was not limited to the twenty-seventh or twenty-eighth heaven.
Now that he has been discovered by Guomuboer, regardless of the outcome, this matter may reach even higher realms.
In that case, when he travels to higher heavens, he will be easily targeted by those stronger ghost cultivators.
Since he re-entered the cycle of reincarnation, only a few hundred million years have passed, and the Netherworld has been broken down to the thirty-sixth heaven again. Clearly, during this period, many brilliant geniuses have also emerged in the Netherworld.
Furthermore, given that those ghost cultivators are masters of each level of the Heavenly Realm, and without the support of the power of the living universe, he might not necessarily be their match.
At that point, it might not be so easy for him to do what he planned to do again.
"Boy, you have quite the eye, recognizing me as the Lord of the Twenty-Seventh Heaven of the Netherworld. Since you've recognized me, you'd better surrender quickly, or I'll make sure you're captured. You won't even be able to reincarnate. Don't doubt my abilities as the Lord of the Twenty-Seventh Heaven of the Netherworld!" Guomuboer was astonished by Lin Yun's power when he heard Lin Yun's words and burst into laughter, speaking with great pride.
The Netherworld currently only has thirty-six heavens. As the lord of the twenty-seventh heaven, he can indeed be proud. The Netherworld connects to all realms, but it has not yet fully developed. Once it is fully developed, many cultivators predict that it will be treated as an equal to the entire Great World of Living Beings.
He is the lord of the twenty-seventh heaven of the Netherworld, which sounds very impressive.
As for Lin Yun's strength, he had long since forgotten about it.
He could already sense that this young creature was only at the upper-level Saint King realm. At such a young age, he already possessed such a high level of cultivation, which would probably make him an extremely talented genius in the Great World of Living Beings.
However, a genius is just a genius after all. A genius who doesn't grow up is just a piece of trash. How could he, a ghost cultivator at the mid-level Saint King realm, and on his own territory, possibly take such a small creature seriously?
He estimated that the opponent had only used some special means to unleash such powerful domain power; their actual strength was not that great.
Even a superior Saint King might not be able to exert the strength of a mid-level Saint King in the Netherworld, let alone a superior Saint Monarch? If he were afraid, that would be a huge joke!
"I'm just passing through the twenty-seventh heaven and don't want to fight you. Get out of my way at once, or you'll regret it!" Lin Yun said, staring coldly at Guomuboer.
"What? If you don't get out of the way quickly, I'll regret it?" Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, Guomuboer looked incredulous. For a moment, he almost thought he had misheard.
This insignificant superior saint-king level being is actually threatening me?
"Hahahaha..." The next moment, Guomuboer burst into maniacal laughter.
Then, his expression suddenly turned cold and stern as he said, "Boy, you've gotten used to being arrogant in the world of living beings, haven't you? Do you think this is still your world of living beings? At such a young age, you've reached such a high level of cultivation. I suppose you must have a high status and a strong background in the world of living beings!"
But this is the underworld!
Let me tell you, in the Netherworld, if any cultivator from the realm of living beings dares to enter, even a dragon would have to coil up and a tiger would have to lie down. Even if your master saw me here, he might not dare to provoke me!
You, a mere Saint-level being, dare to threaten me? What a joke!
Do you even know my level of power? How dare you threaten me like this!
Now, I'll show you the price of being arrogant and ignorant...
At this point, Guomuboer unleashed a terrifying force, pressing down on Lin Yun.
"After all this nonsense, are you still going to make a move?" Lin Yun sneered and said.
"Buzz!"
"laugh!"
The next moment, Lin Yun stopped talking and took out the Bloodthirsty Sword, quickly slashing at his opponent.
"boom--"
In an instant, their attacks collided. Lin Yun's power was clearly superior to his opponent's, instantly destroying most of the opponent's power.
"What? How is that possible?"
On the other side, Guomuboer was shocked to see this scene and exclaimed in surprise.
The power unleashed by a superior Saint-level being actually destroyed most of the power he was using? He couldn't have seen wrong, could he?
Not to mention, the strength of living beings in the Netherworld will be greatly suppressed. If the opponent is a being at the upper-level Saint King realm, it would be quite good if it could exert the power of a middle-level Saint King realm in the Netherworld.
Now... this is the scene...
Could it be that he hasn't been in contact with cultivators from the realm of living beings for a long time, and that cultivators from the realm of living beings have become this strong?
Even at the level of a superior Saint King, he is this powerful!
If it were a being at the Saint King level, how terrifying would it be?
“No… In the realm of living beings, a hundred million years ago, I also saw a Saint King-level being, but their strength didn’t seem this great… What is the origin of this human kid…” Soon, Guomuboer thought of something and immediately denied it.
If all cultivators in the realm of living beings were this powerful, the ghost cultivators of the Netherworld would be rendered useless, having long been overrun by cultivators from the realm of living beings. This young man from the realm of living beings must be an exception.
No wonder this brat dared to say such arrogant things to me just now.
It seems the other side has some confidence now.
"If you want to be arrogant in the Netherworld, your strength is probably not enough!" Although he thought this, Guomuboer snorted and said it anyway.
"Buzz!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
He took out his magical artifact and began to seriously deal with this young creature.
Just now, he didn't use any magic weapons, and he wasn't very serious, only using half his power. Now, he's using all his power to see just how strong this kid is.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
He wielded a black spear with impenetrable skill, constantly clashing with Lin Yun's Blood Prison Sword.
The more he fought, the more surprised Guomuboer became.
This human kid's power is simply too great.
He had a vague feeling that he wasn't the other person.
He was a ghost cultivator at the intermediate Saint King level, and he was in the 27th Heaven. Even in his own territory, there were some who were no match for the other party. How strong must the other party be?
At the very least, he possesses the strength of an extremely powerful individual within the intermediate Saint King realm.
This is in the Netherworld... If it were in the Realm of Living Beings, wouldn't the opponent possess at least the power of a superior Saint King? Or even the power of a peak Saint King?
Is the other party really just a superior Saint King-level being?
"Without the support of the power of the living universe, defeating the opponent is easy, but annihilating them is difficult..." On the other side, Lin Yun also frowned.
Both he and his opponent were powerful, and as they fought, even stronger beings from higher realms should have sensed the commotion... That would have gone against his original intention.
"It seems I have no choice but to retreat to the twenty-sixth heaven and try again," Lin Yun thought to himself.
The twenty-sixth Heaven of the Netherworld is practically his home turf. There, he can mobilize some of the power of the twenty-sixth Heaven to both isolate the fighting and gain greater strength, allowing him to better deal with this Guomuboer.
He actually knew this Guomuboer.
Back when he was still in the Netherworld, this Guomuboer was considered an outstanding genius among the ghost cultivators of the Netherworld. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to break through the twenty-seventh heaven after Guomuboer entered reincarnation.
However, he didn't have any connection with the other party back then.
That's quite normal.
At that time, he had already reached the pinnacle among all ghost cultivators in the Netherworld. Even in the Realm of Living Beings, where his strength was suppressed, he could still fight three peak Saint Kings. In the Netherworld, he possessed the strength of an invincible Saint King.
The overall strength of the Netherworld is weaker than that of the Great World of Living Beings.
At that time, the Netherworld had only had more than twenty heavens broken, and its overall strength was even weaker. Yet he already possessed the strength of an invincible holy king. How terrifying was that?
At that time, this Guomuboer probably did not yet possess the power of a Saint King.
In his eyes, they were nothing more than ants.
At that time, countless geniuses in the Netherworld were like ants in his eyes.
A genius? Who can be more of a genius than him?
How could he possibly have any connection with the other party?
If he remembered correctly, when he met the other person once in his previous life, the other person was very respectful and humble towards him.
