Five more years passed.
"Senior Lin, Qinglian Divine Lord and I are being chased by the Twelve Zodiac Beasts. Could you please help us...?"
On this day, while Lin Yun was searching for the location of the next sixty-third heaven of the desolate universe, he suddenly received a message from Shi Nantian, whose tone was extremely anxious.
"You two are being chased by the twelve zodiac beasts? Which one of the twelve zodiac beasts?" Lin Yun frowned slightly and sent a message.
He never expected that after Qinglian Divine Lord and Shi Nantian succeeded in killing Chenlong, they were still out and about, and now they had even been encountered by the Twelve Zodiac Beasts. How long has it been? More than ten years!
He had said long ago that he was in a period of increasing his strength, which would take at least several decades and at most about ten thousand years...
Ten thousand years is not a very long time for cultivators like them!
However, in a short period of time, the other party caused trouble one after another!
Even though Lin Yun harbored special feelings towards the remaining innate gods who were still resisting, he was now somewhat dissatisfied!
However, to be fair, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord is quite powerful. Ordinary peak-level gods are no match for him, let alone hunt him down!
unless……
Lin Yun's eyes flashed.
According to the information he obtained, there were five peak divine realms among the twelve zodiac beasts. He killed one of them, Chenlong, and there were four more peak divine realms left. Could it be that several peak divine realms among the twelve zodiac beasts joined forces to deal with Qinglian Divine Lord?
"All twelve zodiac beasts have arrived! Including the new Dragon, Tiger, and Sheep! A total of four peak-level Divine Realm beings and eight high-level Divine Realm beings!" Shi Nantian reported.
“Twelve…including the new Dragon, Tiger, and Sheep…” Lin Yun’s pupils contracted slightly.
He was not surprised that a new one would take over the position of the twelve zodiac beast. Although the twelve zodiac beasts were twelve strange beasts in the world, they were also twelve different kinds of strange beasts. These twelve strange beasts were not unique. When one of the twelve zodiac beasts perished, it would be replaced by a new one.
There were precedents for the deaths of those born in the years of the Dragon, Tiger, and Sheep.
Four peak-level Divine Realm experts and eight high-grade Divine Realm experts—no wonder Qinglian Divine Lord was no match for him, prompting Shi Nantian to seek his help.
"Could it be that we're going to show up so early...?" Lin Yun frowned.
On the other side, Shi Nantian seemed to know Lin Yun's predicament. After all, he had caused Lin Yun too much trouble, each time more powerful than the last, almost always exceeding Lin Yun's ability to bear it, at least on the surface.
Although Shi Nantian knew that Lin Yun was quite strong, he was absolutely not sure if Lin Yun was currently a match for four peak Divine Realm experts.
Furthermore, the biggest problem is that four peak-level Divine Realm experts and eight high-grade Divine Realm experts are not the end... but the beginning!
With such a powerful force and a battle of this caliber, the Later Heaven Divine Dynasty is likely already taking notice. If the Twelve Zodiac Beasts can easily deal with them, that's fine. But if they are difficult to handle, it's hard to say whether other powerful figures from the Later Heaven Divine Dynasty will intervene.
From this perspective, unless Lin Yun possesses the strength to confront the entire Later God Clan Dynasty, getting involved in this battle could lead to a huge problem, or even endanger his life.
"Senior Lin, the enemy's strength is too great. I've thought about it, and I think it's better to just give up. I only hope that after Qinglian Divine Lord and I perish, you can take care of the remaining Innate God Clan members in the base. This is the way to the Innate God Clan base..." Just then, Shi Nantian transmitted his voice again, speaking in a low voice.
As he spoke, he simultaneously transmitted a method to reach the base of the Primordial God Clan.
Seeing the method Shi Nantian had transmitted, Lin Yun's eyes flickered slightly. After a moment, he sighed softly and whispered, "Tell me your escape route. Hold on for another twenty-odd breaths, and then I'll tell you my coordinates to meet you..."
"Senior Lin, are you coming?" Shi Nantian asked in shock via telepathy.
“Not bad…” Lin Yun replied.
"No, no, no, I've thought it through, Senior Lin. You shouldn't come. Even if you have a way to stop the twelve zodiac beasts from chasing you, there's still the entire Houtian Divine Clan Dynasty behind you, with hundreds of peak Divine Realm experts. You can't stop them..." Shi Nantian hurriedly said.
"Tell me the information!" Lin Yun said directly without saying much.
At the same time, Lin Yun telepathically communicated with the Three-Eyed Emperor and another subordinate at the peak of the Divine Realm.
"Should we bring the Netherworld's Divine Realm Ghost Cultivators over...?" Then, a hint of hesitation flashed through Lin Yun's mind.
There are already more than fifty high-level divine realm beings in the Netherworld. Even if only half of them are brought out, it would still be a formidable force that would be of great help in this battle.
There are also more than 50,000 mid-level gods and more than 8 million low-level gods. Even if only one-tenth of them are brought here, it would still be a terrifying force. Even if they only use ordinary battle formations, the combined power they exert would be terrifying.
"Middle-level Divine Realm, lower-level Divine Realm... forget it. Right now, the Twelve Zodiac Beasts are chasing after Azure Lotus Divine Lord and Shi Nantian. It's very likely that many Divine Realm experts from the Later Heaven Divine Clan Dynasty are paying attention to the situation in the Great World of Living Beings. The appearance of a large number of Divine Realm experts would attract too much attention. Once they are discovered by the Divine Realm experts of the Later Heaven Divine Clan Dynasty, it could trigger a large-scale war, which would be of no benefit to this battle..." Soon, Lin Yun shook his head and thought to himself.
"However, the superior divine realm can bring some benefits..." Lin Yun paused, then thought to himself.
call!
Time was of the essence, and with that thought in mind, Lin Yun no longer hesitated and immediately headed to the Netherworld through the nearest passage connecting to it.
After some thought, Lin Yun decided that this battle would not take place in the Blood Fiend Universe.
Although the Blood Fiend Universe was of great help to him.
However, as long as the Blood Fiend Universe remains intact, he is immortal. In the worst-case scenario, he can feign death to escape this calamity.
In fact, this was also the reason why he decided to go and support Qinglian Shenjun and Shi Nantian.
He had a vague feeling that someone was already watching him, or rather, watching the person who killed Chenlong. If he could get rid of their sight by dying, it might not necessarily be a bad thing.
The premise is that the Blood Fiend Universe cannot be targeted.
Otherwise, if the Blood Fiend Universe is destroyed and he is killed, at best he can be reincarnated, at worst he might be annihilated, body and soul, and never be reborn.
Lin Yun was fast, and time flowed quickly in the Netherworld. In just a few breaths, Lin Yun led thirty superior god-level ghost cultivators out of the Netherworld. In addition to the thirty superior god-level ghost cultivators, there was also the Haotian God King.
At this time, Haotian God King had been in the Netherworld for billions of years. Although his injuries were slowly recovering, he had long since recovered. Moreover, his realm had reached the peak of the Upper God Realm. If his array formation ability were added, his effect would even surpass that of a peak God Realm expert.
Lin Yun brought Haotian God King here because he valued Haotian God King's array formation abilities.
At this moment, the Three-Eyed Emperor and another peak-level Divine Realm Ghost Cultivator also arrived.
"grown ups!"
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
The Three-Eyed Emperor and another peak-level Divine Realm ghost cultivator bowed to Lin Yun, and the other superior-level Divine Realm ghost cultivators also quickly followed suit. The Haotian God King also bowed.
"No need for formalities. I've already explained most of what this battle entails. There's a high probability that your lives will be in danger. If you do encounter danger, do your best to preserve your chance at reincarnation. As long as your souls enter the Netherworld, even if only your true spirit remains, I can guide you there. At that time, you can choose to reincarnate or refine your divine essence again to become a post-natal ghost cultivator at the Divine Realm..."
Lin Yun looked at the group of ghost cultivators and the Haotian God King and said.
"Yes, sir!"
"Understood!"
"Please rest assured, sir, we will fight with all our might and strive to defeat the enemy!"
The ghost cultivators all spoke up.
The ghost cultivators trained by Lin Yun were mostly selected from countless ghost cultivators, so their loyalty was not an issue. It was just a battle; what battle is without danger? At most, the chances of danger in this battle were just a little higher!
Moreover, after their fall, as long as their true spirits are not destroyed, they can be guided by the Blood Emperor. This is an opportunity that even the gods of those great worlds of living beings do not have. They are very confident in protecting their true spirits from destruction. So why wouldn't they dare to fight?
To be honest, if it were just about lifespan, they could have achieved immortality long ago, so why would they bother cultivating so desperately?
As the saying goes, people fight for a breath, and Buddhas fight for a stick of incense. Life is all about competition. They are all vying to become the Blood Emperor's subordinate, to obtain more cultivation resources, and to reach a higher realm. They are all competing!
Fighting the enemy is also a struggle!
They also wanted to see what kind of power they had gained after their arduous cultivation.
Who will emerge victorious in the battle against the divine realm of the vast world of living beings?
Furthermore, the Blood Emperor said that if they win, the resources they obtain will be prioritized for them to cultivate to the peak of the Divine Realm. If that is not enough, the naturally generated Divine Realm cultivation resources in the Netherworld will be prioritized for them until they break through to the peak of the Divine Realm. This is a great benefit that makes it worth fighting for!
"good!"
Lin Yun nodded slightly, and the next moment, he waved his hand, and a tremendous power enveloped these Divine Realm experts.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
Lin Yun led the group towards a certain place, which was on a route given by Shi Nantian.
"Buzz!"
After Lin Yun arrived at that place, Haotian God King waved his hand, and he released a series of formations and quickly set them up.
In just a few breaths, the Heavenly King had set up a whole array of formations.
"Your Highness, it's ready!" Haotian God King looked up at Lin Yun and said.
"God King Haotian, you can go back..." Lin Yun said.
Unlike those ghost cultivators, the Haotian God King is a primordial god, making it very difficult for him to reincarnate. To this day, Lin Yun has discovered very few primordial god souls in the Netherworld. He doesn't know if they have all reincarnated or if it is truly difficult for primordial gods to reincarnate.
This is something he cannot control.
This battle is extremely dangerous. He fears that if the God King Haotian were to perish, he would be unable to guide souls in the Netherworld.
"Your Highness, there's no need to say more. I also have a deep-seated grudge against the Later Heaven Divine Clan Dynasty. Besides, my current strength is not low. If the battle situation turns bad, I should be able to protect myself!" Haotian God King waved his hand and said.
"Well... alright! Be careful, and leave immediately if things go wrong! I'll let you join the battle after I've figured out the reincarnation system of the Primordial Gods!" Lin Yun hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said.
Then, Lin Yun took out the communication stone and began to transmit his voice to Shi Nantian, telling him the coordinates of this place.
"Alright, Qinglian Divine Lord and I will head over there right away..." Shi Nantian replied quickly via telepathy.
Lin Yun retrieved the communication stone.
Then, in less than two breaths, a powerful aura, accompanied by a weaker one, flew towards this place like a shooting star, but at a speed far exceeding that of a shooting star.
These two auras were emanating from Qinglian Divine Lord and Shi Nantian.
Behind him, twelve auras were hot on his heels.
"Buzz!"
Soon, Qinglian Divine Lord and Shi Nantian crashed headfirst into the formation, and at the same time, powerful formation forces rose up.
"Senior Lin..." Qinglian Divine Lord and Shi Nantian were prepared and there was no surprise. Shi Nantian raised his eyes, looked around, and said with slight excitement.
"Fellow Daoist Lin..." Qinglian Divine Lord also spoke up.
It's normal to address each other as fellow Daoist instead of senior. After all, the strongest god realm in this world is the peak god realm, which is what Qinglian Divine Lord is, and he's not just any ordinary peak god realm. Even if Lin Yun was powerful in his previous life, could he possibly surpass the peak god realm?
Naturally, he could address Lin Yun as "fellow Daoist".
"Gentlemen, by following these methods, you can easily use the power of the formation..." Lin Yun stepped in front of the two of them, transmitting a message to them as he spoke.
As he spoke, Lin Yun looked up and gazed in the direction from which Qinglian Divine Lord and Shi Nantian had come.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
The power of the array was triggered as the twelve zodiac beasts that had been chasing behind broke into the array.
"Formation!"
"There's an ambush!"
The twelve zodiac animals all shouted loudly.
"boom!"
"boom!"
As they spoke, powerful auras rose from their bodies, resisting the power of the surrounding array.
Although they realized there was an ambush, the twelve zodiac beasts didn't take it to heart. They sensed that these formations were just ordinary formations, and with their strength, they wouldn't pose much of a problem for them.
Come to think of it, powerful formations are something that ordinary experts cannot set up. Formations that can trap them at the peak of the Divine Realm, apart from those that exist naturally, all require a lot of time to set up and are very difficult to move. If there were such formations anywhere in the Great World of Living Beings, they would have been made public long ago.
As far as they knew, this space was just an ordinary place, and there were no powerful formations present.
It seems that the enemy hastily set up this formation, so what can they do to them?
"Azure Lotus Divine Lord, don't resort to these useless tricks!"
"Come out and die quickly, and we'll give you a dignified death!"
As the power of the divine realm spread outwards, wantonly destroying the surrounding formations, the twelve zodiac beasts roared in unison.
"kill!"
But at that moment, Lin Yun shouted coldly.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Powerful array forces surged forth, merging with powerful offensive forces, and rapidly launched a massive attack on the twelve zodiac beasts.
