It’s just that the Ghost Practitioners from the Netherworld are too powerful; otherwise, it’s uncertain who would be excited and who would be the prey.
Speaking of the Bloodthirsty Sword, it must be mentioned that previously, in the Heavenly Principle Tower space, the Bloodthirsty Sword was unable to refine the ghost force, that is, the soul power of those Ghost Practitioners. However, it could refine the ghost force of those who came from the Netherworld.
This was explained by the spirit of the Heavenly Principle Tower; the Ghost Practitioners in its space were subdued by its master, and were originally quite powerful, like the ghost from Shan Black, who was at the Peak Saint Lord Level, and many other Ghost Practitioners were also at the Saint Lord Level.
However, after its master had experienced a great battle, suffering grave injuries and reincarnating, the spirit of the tower, along with various other spirits including those Ghost Practitioners, were also seriously wounded.
Therefore, while the Heavenly Principle Tower space undertook the task of training ordinary cultivators, after the fall of each spirit, energy consumption was minimal. On one hand, they didn’t dare to consume more for fear of damaging the essence of the spirits.
In this regard, another point must be made about Lin Yun and those other ordinary cultivators who ‘killed’ those “spirits” or “puppets” in the Heavenly Principle Tower space; in reality, they were not truly killed.
This is the second aspect: they were part of the battle force of the Heavenly Principle Tower space, which naturally wouldn’t let them truly fall, hence avoiding significant energy expenditure.
Thus, when he used the Bloodthirsty Sword in the Heavenly Principle Tower space, not only were those Ghost Practitioners an issue, but he also couldn’t largely absorb and refine the power of other spirits he encountered, at most only slightly.
The Ghost Practitioners from the Netherworld, however, did not have these issues. When Lin Yun used the Bloodthirsty Sword to kill them, it was much like when he killed spirits, allowing him to rapidly absorb and refine their ghost force.
Still, there were differences.
When Lin Yun used the Bloodthirsty Sword to kill beings of this universe, it could convert the refined essence blood force into his own power, but when he killed the Ghost Practitioners with it,
what was mainly enhanced was the power of the Bloodthirsty Sword itself, not increasing Lin Yun’s power by much.
Upon reflection, Lin Yun concluded that maybe because he was a spirit and the Bloodthirsty Sword was a spiritual entity, the power he gained was drawn from the essence blood force of spirits, while the Bloodthirsty Sword’s enhancement, absorbing and refining the ghost force from Ghost Practitioners, was more effective. After all, spiritual bodies and soul bodies were of a similar type of energy, very much alike, and it was normal that they had a high degree of compatibility and conversion.
The substantial enhancement of the Bloodthirsty Sword was beneficial.
As his strength continuously improved, he began to vaguely feel as if the assisting power of the Bloodthirsty Sword was becoming somewhat insufficient.
However, inside the Heavenly Principle Tower space, he couldn’t slaughter a large number of spirits to enhance the Bloodthirsty Sword’s level.
In fact, even before those Ghost Practitioners invaded this universe, there were not many beings that could significantly enhance the Bloodthirsty Sword’s level.
After all, before the invasion of the Ghost Practitioners, the highest realm of beings in this universe were only at the lower Saint Lord Realm, and their numbers were very scarce.
The higher realms included only the True Martial Saint Lord and Langya Saint Lord, but neither of them could he kill to enhance the level of the Bloodthirsty Sword.
Therefore, the invasion of these Ghost Practitioners turned out to be a good thing for the Bloodthirsty Sword’s enhancement.
Just now, when he slaughtered a million Ghost Practitioners outside, there were, in fact, two Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners, and they weren’t of the lower Saint Lord type either. He felt that the benefits the Bloodthirsty Sword gained were immense.
However, due to the high level of energy or perhaps because he hadn’t fully refined the Bloodthirsty Sword, the speed at which it refined that energy was no longer as fast as before. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
To thoroughly refine it, some time was still needed.
Once the Bloodthirsty Sword completely refined the ghost force of those Ghost Practitioners, its power would surely be elevated to a new level.
