NOVPUBChapter 1023: Chapter 889: Is It Really the Blood Prison Sword? _2 Chapter 1023: Chapter 889: Is It Really the Blood Prison Sword? _2 Although the Netherworld was not born as long ago as the countless universes in the great world, the fact that it has only broken through thirty-six layers of heaven over a lengthy period of time shows the difficulty of the endeavor.
The True Martial Saint Lord estimated that the difficulty of breaking through the new layers of heaven in the Netherworld was only harder than that of ordinary universes, and certainly not easier than breaking through new layers of heaven in ordinary universes.
Moreover, he surmised that the difficulty of continuously breaking through new layers of heaven would also be as difficult as in the ordinary universes—extremely, extremely challenging.
For the Blood Emperor to have successively broken through eight new layers of the Netherworld’s heavens was something one could only marvel at.
“A billion years ago, at the peak of the Saint King Realm, a Ghost Practitioner wielding a single sword fought alone against three Saint King pinnacle spirits, causing blood to flow like rivers in the great worlds outside; could it be that it was that Netherworld powerhouse?” the spirit of the Heavenly Principle Tower also said with a small face full of shock.
Its previous master had also been a powerhouse in the Saint King Realm, but was only of a higher tier among the Saint Kings, with many gaps between him and those at the peak of the Saint King Realm, let alone the Ghost Dao powerhouse who could battle with three great Saint King pinnacle spirits.
However, it had only heard some simple information about this ghostly powerhouse and knew none of the specific details about him, such as the fact that this Ghost Practitioner had successively broken through the new eight layers of heaven in the Netherworld.
Now that it was hearing the legendary deeds of this Ghost Practitioner from Shan Black, it was equally astonished.
“Has Tower Lord heard of the Blood Emperor?” Seeing the reaction of the Heavenly Principle Tower’s spirit, Shan Black, the Ghost Practitioner, asked in surprise.
“Back then, the Blood Emperor had made quite a stir in the outside great worlds, and at that time, I had already been traveling with my master outside. Naturally, I had heard of him, but my master and I did not know that he had broken through eight new layers of heaven in the Netherworld. No wonder his strength was so formidable; Ghost Dao practitioners wield the utmost yin attribute when cultivating, suppressed in strength by the outside great worlds, and yet not only could he alone battle three Saint King pinnacle spirits, it’s said that he suppressed them in combat…” The Heavenly Principle Tower’s spirit nodded as it spoke.
“The Blood Emperor is indeed a very legendary figure in the Netherworld,” Shan Black, the Ghost Practitioner, said with a faint sigh.
“So, I suspect I was wrong in feeling that the sword in Lin Yun’s hand is not the Blood Prison Sword. How powerful the Blood Emperor is, and how formidable the Blood Prison Sword must be. How could the Blood Prison Sword possibly end up in the hands of a weak spirit from the Spirit Universe?” After a pause, Shan Black continued.
When mentioning the word ‘weak,’ Shan Black naturally felt this way, even though Lin Yun had already broken through to the Saint Lord Realm.
When the Blood Emperor was slaughtering in every direction back in the day, he was not killing ordinary Cultivators. Speaking of which, the Blood Emperor was mighty indeed, but never deliberately bullied the weak.
As a result, many powerful beings fell at the hands of the Blood Emperor. To be a Saint Lord was not even enough to be notable, there were many Saint Lords, and several known Saint Kings as well.
Compared to them, Lin Yun, who had just broken through to the Saint Lord Realm, could indeed be considered weak, especially since when it last saw Lin Yun wield the Bloodthirsty Sword, he was an ordinary Cultivator who hadn’t even reached the Superlative Realm.
“When you left the Netherworld, did you hear any news about the Blood Emperor? For instance, did anything happen to the Blood Emperor?” the Heavenly Principle Tower’s spirit asked with a frown.
“You mean to suggest something happened to the Blood Emperor, Tower Lord?” Shan Black was momentarily startled.
“You might not know, but this sword is severely damaged, and before it was damaged, its level could very well have been no less than mine…” the Heavenly Principle Tower’s spirit said slowly.
“What? The level of this sword is no less than that of Tower Lord?” Shan Black exclaimed in shock, losing composure.
Having followed the Heavenly Principle Tower and its master from early on, it was well aware of the Tower’s tremendous strength, which was very top-notch even in the outside great worlds.
Their master’s rapid reach to a not insignificant level within the Saint King Realm was also largely due to the capabilities of the Heavenly Principle Tower, only that their master was too unfortunate, having fallen before fully growing in strength.
Otherwise, their master could have normally become one of the top figures at the peak of the Saint King Realm.
The Heavenly Principle Tower played a significant role in this.
A sword of a level no less than the Heavenly Principle Tower…
Then, it being the Blood Prison Sword was not impossible…
However, the Blood Prison Sword was the Blood Emperor’s weapon; who could have damaged someone as strong as the Blood Emperor to such an extent?
“Could it be that a being above the Saint King has made their move?” Shan Black murmured to himself.
“`
It is said that above the Saint King, there are stronger beings, though each one of them is truly transcendent, normally not meddling in the affairs of all realms, and rarely appearing before the eyes of mortals.
But besides those stronger than the Saint King, Shan Black’s Ghost Practitioner couldn’t think of anyone who could do anything to the Blood Emperor.
“Maybe this sword really isn’t the Blood Prison Sword?” said the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit with a frown.
To tell the truth, having accompanied its master through the outside world for so long, it had also never heard of those transcendent individuals making a move against anyone below their realm of strength.
The Blood Emperor was strong but surely wouldn’t be so foolish as to provoke such beings.
“Maybe it really could be the Blood Prison Sword…” At this moment, it was Shan Black’s Ghost Practitioner who shook his head and spoke.
“Hmm?”
“What do you know?”
The crowd was startled and couldn’t help but ask.
“When I left the Netherworld, the Netherworld had not been broken to the thirty-sixth layer of heaven, but the Blood Emperor had already not appeared for hundreds of millions of years. Given the Blood Emperor’s age and his previous frequency of appearances, this is very abnormal. Many Ghost Practitioners say that the Blood Emperor has likely fallen…” Shan Black’s Ghost Practitioner spoke gravely.
His tone was very somber; the Blood Emperor was the idol of countless Ghost Practitioners in the Netherworld, as well as his own. Now, learning that the Blood Emperor might have met with disaster, he couldn’t help feeling some sense of loss.
Had a top legend of the Netherworld really met with disaster just like that?
Could it be that even his weapon was damaged to such an extent and had fallen into the hands of some weaker spirits of the Spirit World?
“The Blood Emperor hasn’t appeared in the Netherworld for hundreds of millions of years?” The face of the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit changed subtly.
Lin Yun and the True Martial Saint Lord looked at each other, both perplexed. Although they were spirits from the Spirit World and their universe was currently being invaded by Ghost Practitioners from the Netherworld, they couldn’t help but respect the story of this legendary figure from the path of ghosts.
However, they knew that when the Netherworld’s nineteen to twenty-six layers of heaven were broken through, and later, when the twenty-seventh to the thirties something layers of heaven were breached, the Blood Emperor had not appeared throughout, continuing for hundreds of millions of years.
This situation was indeed very unusual.
“Could it be that the Blood Emperor really met with disaster?” mused the True Martial Saint Lord.
“Could this sword really be that Blood Emperor’s weapon, the Blood Prison Sword?” Lin Yun lowered his head and looked at the sword in his hand, murmuring.
“Buzz—”
Just then, the Bloodthirsty Sword in Lin Yun’s hand trembled faintly, and then the trembling continued without cease, carrying with it a sense of decay.
“The reaction of the Bloodthirsty Sword…” Lin Yun’s expression changed slightly.
It was then he recalled, as they had been discussing the Blood Emperor and the Blood Prison Sword, the Bloodthirsty Sword began to act strangely, although the manner of its manifestation was simply a decrease in the frequency of its tremors. He had thought it was because he was restraining his power and hadn’t paid attention.
Now, thinking it over, although his power was restrained, the strength he was feeding into the Bloodthirsty Sword had not decreased, so the sword’s reaction was not normal. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
“Could this sword really be that Blood Emperor’s Blood Prison Sword?” With such a significant reaction from the Bloodthirsty Sword, both the True Martial Saint Lord and the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit noticed and couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.
Shan Black’s Ghost Practitioner was also extremely astonished. Could the weapon in Lin Yun’s hand really be the Blood Emperor’s weapon?
Although the sword was severely damaged, the halo around the blade did not diminish, shocking everyone’s hearts.
