"Bang!"
The ghost cultivator's body was cleaved apart by Lin Yun's Bloodthirsty Sword. Lin Yun was very experienced in dealing with ghost cultivators, and without stopping, he continued to kill the ghost cultivator rapidly time and time again.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The ghost cultivator's body condensed again and again, only to be shattered time and time again.
Finally, after being shattered once again, the ghost cultivator's life force completely disappeared, leaving a glittering gray crystal suspended in place.
Lin Yun waved his hand and caught the gray crystal in his palm. At the same time, he was also a little excited.
Although he was a ghost cultivator, this was still the first Saint Realm expert he had killed.
He never expected that the first Saint Realm expert he killed would be a ghost cultivator, and that he could kill him so easily.
He knew how extraordinary the gray crystals within these ghost cultivators were, and these gray crystals were ten times the size of the gray crystals within the ghost cultivators in the Heavenly Dao Tower space, making them even more valuable.
This was also a great gain and a great opportunity.
For powerful beings and ghost cultivators, this is a great opportunity; for powerful ghost cultivators and living beings, isn't it also a great opportunity?
From this perspective, the rules of this world are actually quite fair.
Both sides can be prey for the other.
"Lin Yun, you've arrived."
On the other side, seeing Lin Yun kill the ghost cultivator, True Martial Saint King breathed a sigh of relief. His body swayed slightly, then he looked up, smiled faintly with a pale face, and said.
"True Martial Saint Lord, don't say any more, let's leave here first!" Lin Yun said, taking True Martial Saint Lord's arm.
As he spoke, Lin Yun released a powerful force that enveloped True Martial Saint Monarch, and began to lead True Martial Saint Monarch rapidly outwards.
He had already stored the Holy Mother in his spatial item, but the True Martial Saint King's level was too powerful, and his spatial item absolutely could not contain him. He could only leave directly with the True Martial Saint King.
At this moment, although Lin Yun did not know what had happened, he knew that it was wrong to stay in this gray fog space. He had actually seen this gray fog in the Heavenly Dao Tower space. At that time, he did not think too much about it, nor did he have much information to analyze and refer to. He only knew that it was a kind of yin attribute energy, and that ghost cultivators usually had this kind of energy in their environment.
At this moment, he vaguely sensed that this thick gray fog seemed to enhance the strength of these ghost cultivators; conversely, if these beings were in this gray fog space, their strength would be weakened.
With one addition and one subtraction, the difference in strength should not be underestimated.
He sensed that those top ghost cultivators were extremely powerful, possibly even surpassing him. This was evident from the fact that even the Langya Saint was so frightened that he fled in a sorry state.
Powerful beings of their caliber possess extremely keen senses. The Langya Saint was so frightened that he immediately fled, not even having time to kill the True Martial Saint, clearly indicating that he perceived great danger within this thick gray fog.
His strength is not even as good as that of the Sage of Langya. The Sage of Langya was so frightened that he fled. How could he be a match for him?
Therefore, he could no longer stay in this thick gray fog.
"Hmm." Zhenwu Saint Lord nodded without saying anything more, letting Lin Yun lead him away from the thick gray fog.
Although he had previously been prepared to die, that was only if he believed he was going to die. If he could avoid death, he wouldn't be foolish enough to throw his life away. No matter how dangerous it was for Lin Yun to search for him in this thick gray fog, Lin Yun had already found him. If he were to refuse again or say anything more, it would be somewhat pretentious.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"There are two powerful beings here!"
"Quick! Stop them!"
The journey Lin Yun and Zhenwu Saint Monarch took was not without obstacles. Many ghost cultivators spotted them and began to intercept and attack them. Later, several ghost cultivators at the fourth level of the Super Realm even set their sights on them.
Fortunately, no ghost cultivators at the Saint Realm appeared. These ghost cultivators below the Saint Realm were nothing to Lin Yun and True Martial Saint Monarch. Without True Martial Saint Monarch even having to make a move, Lin Yun killed them all with just his sword.
Along the way, they saw the original sites of various spaces in the Immortal Origin Holy Land devastated. Many Immortal Origin Realm cultivators fled outwards, only to be chased and killed by many ghost cultivators. Because they were scattered, Lin Yun had no way to change this situation even if he wanted to. He could only see some Immortal Origin Realm cultivators being chased along the way during his departure, and Lin Yun would wave his hand and put them into his spatial items.
The gray fog covered a vast area, and Lin Yun flew with Zhenwu Shengjun for quite some time before finally leaving the fog.
At this moment, they were already billions of miles away from the Immortal Origin Holy Land and the location of Earth.
Lin Yun turned around and looked in the direction of the Immortal Origin Realm and Earth. After a long silence, he finally spoke, "True Martial Saint Lord, what exactly happened here?"
Just now, when they escaped, he deliberately went to the Earth side. He saw that almost all the living beings on Earth were dead. The living beings on Earth were too weak. Many of them couldn't even withstand the erosion of the gray fog and died directly under its cover.
Lin Yun didn't know how many people had escaped, where they had gone, or whether they had ultimately managed to escape this thick gray fog. At the time, he didn't have much energy to pay attention to it, but he guessed that the outcome probably wouldn't be good.
The gray fog covered too much ground and expanded too quickly. Even cultivators at the Super Realm level had difficulty escaping, let alone those low-level cultivators on Earth.
“If I’m not mistaken, there should be an invisible passage connecting to the Netherworld here. Now, that passage has been broken, and these ghost cultivators are coming from the Netherworld…” Zhenwu Saint Monarch said with a slight bitterness.
The Immortal Origin Realm was completely destroyed. He never expected that the Immortal Origin Realm would ultimately be destroyed not by the Sage of Langya, but by the ghost cultivators of the Netherworld.
Thousands of years ago, their seventy-two disciples followed Dao Ancestor Li Er in cultivation, gradually becoming stronger, and eventually establishing the Immortal Origin Realm, a top-tier place in the universe. He spent most of his life in the Immortal Origin Realm.
Seeing the Immortal Origin Realm ravaged and utterly destroyed, he was not in a good mood.
"The Netherworld... So these ghost cultivators really came from the Netherworld..." Lin Yun took a deep breath and whispered.
Actually, he had already guessed it, but now he was certain after hearing Zhenwu Shengjun's words.
Unexpectedly, the connection between the Netherworld and the living universe has such disastrous consequences.
No wonder, Zhenwu Shengjun said earlier that this was a catastrophe for their universe.
No wonder, the True Martial Saint Lord had shown mercy to those saints earlier, Lin Yun thought to himself.
In such a catastrophe, the power of the nine saints could indeed play a significant role.
Just now, if those nine saints hadn't attracted those top-tier ghost cultivators, he and True Martial Saint King wouldn't have been able to fly out of that thick gray fog so easily.
However, the fate of those nine saints is hard to say...
Lin Yun narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although he hadn't paid special attention while in the gray mist, he had seen that two or three Saints had been killed by those top-tier ghost cultivators, and that very few of the remaining Saints would eventually escape the gray mist.
"What do we do next?" Lin Yun turned to look at Zhenwu Shengjun and asked.
At this moment, he really didn't know what to do. The sudden outburst had left the Immortal Origin Realm and Earth in ruins. Moreover, there were many extremely powerful ghost cultivators in that thick gray fog.
It's unrealistic for him to rush in and save people now, and besides, he's not the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for others, especially since those people don't have much to do with him.
He can set fair rules for them, he can refrain from oppressing them and prevent others from oppressing them, but it is impossible for him to risk his life to save them.
Look at the reactions of those people from the Immortal Origin Realm just now. He is the Lord of the Immortal Origin Realm, yet how many people obeyed his orders to deal with the Sage of Langya?
As the saying goes, a gentleman has things he will do and things he will not do. He could risk his life to save Zhenwu Shengjun, but he would not risk his life to save those people. Otherwise, let alone a gentleman, he would definitely be a big fool.
“I sensed just now that many of those top-tier ghost cultivators are at the peak of the Saint realm. Moreover, this passage has just been broken, and we don’t know if even more powerful ghost cultivators will appear. You are no match for them. Now, our only choice is to leave here as soon as possible and wait for your strength to increase, and for you to break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe…” True Martial Saint Lord closed his eyes, sighed slightly, and said.
If he hadn't been poisoned by the Netherworld Water and his strength hadn't diminished, perhaps he could have changed the current situation and saved many people. But now, that's impossible.
"Break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe?" Lin Yun's heart tightened.
He had heard True Martial Saint King bring up this topic many times. In fact, the Langya Saint King even betrayed the Immortal Origin Realm because of this, and did not hesitate to kill his senior brother who had cultivated with him since childhood, kill his master's mother, and kill all his clansmen.
Can breaking through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe, creating a new heaven, truly bring immense benefits?
Soon, he thought of the dozens of Saint-level powerhouses who were born in the Immortal Origin Realm thousands of years ago... A sense of recognition gradually arose in his heart. Perhaps, breaking through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe could really bring him tremendous benefits.
That's why the Sage of Langya went so crazy, right?
“Yes, I have a premonition that even if I recover my strength, I may not be able to withstand this calamity. Perhaps only if you break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe and obtain powerful blessings from heaven and earth can you stop this calamity. Your strength must be improved as soon as possible…” True Martial Saint Monarch nodded slightly.
"It's a pity that the great change just now caused the source power accumulated by the Immortal Origin Realm for thousands of years to be lost somewhere. Otherwise, your strength could have been quickly raised to the third level of the Super Realm..." After a pause, True Martial Saint King said with a regretful expression.
If Lin Yun's realm were to rise to the third level of the Super Realm, then his chances of breaking through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe would be much greater. However, if he were only at the second level of the Super Realm, it would be uncertain whether he could succeed. If he could not break through, the difficulty would increase. Even if Lin Yun's realm were to rise to the third level of the Super Realm, he might not be able to break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe.
"Don't worry, True Martial Saint Lord. I just picked up some fragments of the Immortal Origin Realm's millennium-old source power. In addition, I just obtained a low-grade Saint-level Ghost Cultivator Crystal, which is also a very powerful natural treasure. It shouldn't take long to improve my strength..." Seeing this, Lin Yun comforted him.
"Indeed, the Ghost Cultivator Crystal Core is also a heaven-defying treasure. Since you cultivate both spiritual and martial arts, it will greatly help increase your strength. I obtained some before, and I originally planned to give them to you when you used the source power of the Immortal Origin Realm for cultivation. Now that you have obtained the Saint-level Ghost Cultivator Crystal Core, you don't need to use it anymore. That Saint-level Ghost Cultivator Crystal Core will definitely play an extremely powerful role..." True Martial Saint Monarch's eyes lit up as he spoke.
As for Lin Yun's claim of finding some fragments of the Immortal Origin Realm's millennia-old source energy, he didn't care. The source energy of the Immortal Origin Realm was only useful if there was a large quantity; if there was a small quantity, it wouldn't be of much use.
In comparison, the Saint-level Ghost Cultivator Crystal Core that Lin Yun just obtained was much better.
"Boom!"
Just then, another loud explosion suddenly occurred from the gray fog not far away. At the same time, the gray fog expanded at a speed that increased many times over. In just an instant, it closed halfway to the location where Lin Yun and Zhenwu Saint Monarch were.
This startled Lin Yun and Zhenwu Shengjun, who quickly retreated to keep their distance.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
"Haha! We finally made it!"
"This time, we must kill as many as we can!"
Just then, three ghost cultivators roared and shouted from the depths of the thick gray fog, their voices shaking the heavens and the earth.
"Three Saint King-level ghost cultivators? Oh no, we must leave quickly!"
The True Martial Saint King's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted.
Sure enough, even stronger ghost cultivators appeared at this passage connecting to the Netherworld. The strength of a Saint King was many times greater than that of an ordinary Saint. Even if his strength was not damaged, he would have to give way to three Saint King-level ghost cultivators.
If they don't leave quickly and are spotted by the enemy, they will be easily captured even if they are outside the thick gray fog.
Escape! They must escape quickly! Otherwise, they are doomed!
"good!"
Hearing the loud shouts of the three ghost cultivators, Lin Yun vaguely sensed that their strength was terrifying, and he quickly said...
Whew! Whew! Whew!
The next moment, he led the True Martial Saint King and fled quickly into the distance!
"Bang! Bang!"
"No! Help!"
"True Martial Saint Lord, save us!"
Just then, Lin Yun sensed that two or three of the nine saints had escaped from the thick gray fog, but as soon as they escaped, they were swept up by powerful forces. They cried out for help, and one of them even asked Zhenwu Saint Lord for help, obviously because he had discovered him and Zhenwu Saint Lord. This made Lin Yun both angry and amused.
The funny thing is, have they forgotten what they did to Zhenwu Shengjun? That was a real killing blow! Now they're asking Zhenwu Shengjun for help. I don't know what they're thinking!
What's infuriating is that by shouting like that, they'll probably attract the attention of those powerful ghost cultivators. If they're targeted by those three ghost cultivators at the Saint King level, he and the True Martial Saint King will be in danger.
However, before Lin Yun could harbor any more resentment towards them, he sensed that the few Saints who had escaped were quickly killed by the powerful ghost cultivators, and at the same time, they were also discovered by those powerful ghost cultivators.
"Heh heh, this is my prey!"
A sinister laugh rang out, and a powerful aura flashed toward them. It was one of the three Saint-level ghost cultivators that Lin Yun and True Martial Saint had sensed earlier.
"not good!"
Lin Yun's expression changed drastically. Originally, their location was not suitable for teleportation and teleportation due to the impact of powerful spatial forces. Although they could force it, the distance of teleportation and teleportation was limited. He planned to move further away before using teleportation and teleportation, which would be more effective.
Now, he couldn't care less, and he teleported away from this space along with True Martial Saint Lord.
However... just as he had sensed, he and True Martial Saint appeared only a short distance apart by teleporting.
"Bang!"
The moment they appeared, a terrifying force attacked them. Clearly, the Saint-level ghost cultivator had foreseen where they were going to teleport and had caught up with them.
Lin Yun and Zhenwu Shengjun's bodies were immediately thrown out.
Lin Yun felt his blood and qi churning violently, and he realized he was seriously injured.
Zhenwu Shengjun also spat out several mouthfuls of blood.
At this moment, Lin Yun felt extremely regretful. If he had known this would happen, he and Zhenwu Shengjun would have left immediately after leaving the gray fog.
It's all his fault for thinking that they wouldn't be in too much danger after leaving the gray fog and that they could leave at any time. He lingered there for a moment, and it was that moment that allowed these three Saint-level ghost cultivators to appear and put them in this predicament.
They can't even withstand one Saint-level ghost cultivator now. If three Saint-level ghost cultivators attack them together... they're probably doomed.
"Huh? A being at the Saint King level whose strength is inferior to that of an ordinary Saint? A being at the Super level but possessing the strength of a mid-level Saint?" Just then, the Saint King-level ghost cultivator noticed the abnormality of Lin Yun and True Martial Saint King and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Then, a look of great interest and excitement flashed in the eyes of the Saint-level ghost cultivator. Putting aside the little guy in the Super Realm, just considering this Saint-level being, if he were to devour it, his strength would definitely increase greatly.
Heaven was kind to him; he received such a great gift as soon as he entered this universe.
Seeing the excited expression on the Saint-level ghost cultivator's face, Lin Yun felt even more bitter. With the other party staring at them like that, they probably really couldn't escape this time.
"die!"
However, surrendering and waiting for death was not in Lin Yun's nature. Lin Yun swung the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand and roared as he counterattacked against the Saint King-level ghost cultivator.
With one sword and one man, they became one. A dazzling crimson power emanated from the Bloodthirsty Sword, attacking the Saint-level Ghost Cultivator, allowing the power of the Bloodthirsty Sword and Lin Yun to reach their peak.
"This...this could be...the Blood Emperor's Blood Prison Sword?" However, to Lin Yun's surprise, the Saint-level ghost cultivator's expression suddenly changed drastically after seeing Lin Yun wield the Bloodthirsty Sword. He looked as if he had seen a ghost and exclaimed in horror.
