Chapter 1039: Chapter 897: Breaking the 35th Heaven, Part 2 Chapter 1039: Chapter 897: Breaking the 35th Heaven, Part 2 Soon, Xia Qingqing and her companions had also learned the news and hurried over.
During this period, with the substantial amount of Ghost Practitioner Crystal Cores provided by Lin Yun, Xia Qingqing and her companions had made significant progress in their strength. Many who had not broken through to the Super Realm managed to do so, several who had reached the Super Realm advanced to the second level, and even Lin Mengmeng broke through to the third layer of the Super Realm.
Lin Mengmeng once again demonstrated her impressive talent for cultivation.
If it weren’t for Lin Yun’s series of fortuitous encounters, he might not necessarily have been faster than Lin Mengmeng in cultivation speed.
“Such a strong surge in breakthrough…”
“Upper Saint Lord Realm, I wonder when Lin Yun can break through…”
The group occasionally whispered among themselves.
One month later.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from Lin Yun, and streams of liquid universal force materialized from thin air, rapidly flooding into his body like a sponge.
“Upper Saint Lord Realm! Lin Yun has broken through to the Upper Saint Lord Realm!” the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit excitedly said.
The True Martial Saint Lord was also extremely excited.
This time, with a high-level Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioner’s Crystal Core at his disposal, Lin Yun did not take too long to overcome this bottleneck; spanning just a month or two, or maybe three, he had broken through it.
This was undoubtedly because Lin Yun had shattered the thirty-fourth New Layered Heaven of this universe, absorbing and refining a large amount of Origin Force from both worlds.
Otherwise, Lin Yun wouldn’t have cultivated this fast.
Following this, Lin Yun’s task was to stabilize this realm.
“With this breakthrough, we need not fear if those Ghost Practitioners come back…” Xia Qingqing and her companions took a deep breath, also expressing their excitement.
They were well aware of the crisis from the Netherworld and understood that the key to resolving this matter hinged on Lin Yun’s enhancement in strength.
Now that Lin Yun had broken through to the Upper Saint Lord Realm, even if he had not shattered the thirty-fifth New Layered Heaven of this universe, his strength was estimated to surpass that of an average medium-level Saint Lord Ghost Practitioner.
At the very least, they were no longer afraid of the previous batch of Ghost Practitioners.
Moreover, after Lin Yun shatters the thirty-fifth New Layered Heaven of this universe, his strength would experience an explosive growth phase.
“I wonder if Lin Yun can break through the thirty-fifth New Layered Heaven of this universe…”
“He definitely can…”
The people whispered among themselves.
Several days later, Lin Yun had stabilized his Upper Saint Lord Realm state.
Lin Yun opened his eyes, and sharp gleams flickered from the depths of his pupils.
“Lin Yun, how did it go?”
The True Martial Saint Lord and the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit were the first to rush over and asked anxiously.
“The Upper Saint Lord Realm has been stabilized,” Lin Yun said.
“That’s great, what about your strength? How is it now? Can you break through the thirty-fifth New Layered Heaven of this universe?” the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit asked excitedly.
The others were about to ask further questions when they heard the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit’s inquiry and they all listened attentively.
“My current strength is roughly double what it was before. Should I encounter a medium-level Saint Lord Ghost Practitioner again, I should be able to battle head-on. As for whether I can easily engage with a high-level Saint Lord Ghost Practitioner, I’m not too sure. Finally, as for whether I can break through the thirty-fifth New Layered Heaven of this universe, I have never broken through this level before so I’m not clear on that,” Lin Yun said with a slight smile.
Despite saying this, there was a strong confidence in his tone. Although he had yet to use his newfound strength after the breakthrough, at their level of power, Lin Yun could roughly sense how much stronger he was now than before.
Previously, the True Martial Saint Lord had explained to him the differences between each level within the Saint Lord Realm. Presumably, the strengths of those Ghost Practitioners of the same level would not be too dissimilar.
“To have your strength doubled is already quite impressive; in this case, one plus one is greater than two. Your overall combat ability should have improved even more. Now, without any Ghost Practitioners outside, this is a good opportunity for you to try and see if you can break through the thirty-fifth New Layered Heaven of this universe,” the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit laughed loudly.
Now that Lin Yun had broken through to the Upper Saint Lord Realm, he could try to see if he could break through the thirty-fifth New Layered Heaven of this universe. If he didn’t take the chance to test his current strength, it would be too conservative.
What was most important was that it understood Lin Yun had exhausted that high-level Saint Lord Ghost Practitioner’s Crystal Core, and no Ghost Practitioners were coming forward anymore. So if Lin Yun continued to strive for higher levels…
It was still unclear when he would reach them.
Originally, it took Lin Yun five to six years to advance from the lower Saint Lord Realm to the intermediate Saint Lord Realm.
Without the support of suitable heavenly treasures and powers, attempting to advance from the upper Saint Lord Realm to the Peak Saint Lord Realm, Lin Yun could spend five hundred or even five thousand years and it would still be considered normal.
Time was too long, he couldn’t wait!
“Good!”
Lin Yun nodded.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
The next moment, a group of people flashed outside the Heavenly Principle Tower.
Having had the experience of breaking through the thirty-fourth layer of this universe before, Lin Yun closed his eyes and quickly entered the gathering phase.
“Hum! Hum! Hum!”
The Bloodthirsty Sword in Lin Yun’s hand trembled continuously, emitting a powerful aura.
Over the past year, the Bloodthirsty Sword had already refined the power of those Ghost Practitioners, advancing to a higher level. Lin Yun clearly felt that the assistance of the Bloodthirsty Sword had grown much stronger.
At the very least, as his power rapidly improved, the assisting force of the Bloodthirsty Sword had not fallen behind.
“Boom—”
A day later, Lin Yun had gathered his force and opened his eyes, revealing a sharp light.
At the same time, he swung his sword towards the space ahead.
“Rumble—”
A terrifying force struck the space in front violently, and a gigantic black hole appeared instantly. Streams of immense power surged crazily from the black hole, quickly covering this space.
“Rumble! Rumble rumble!”
Heaven and Earth’s energy cascaded down like torrential floodwaters from the sky.
“This is… has it broken through?” The True Martial Saint Lord’s eyes widened, his heart shook violently, he exclaimed in disbelief.
He had witnessed many instances of new layers of heaven being broken through, including the time Lin Yun alone broke through the thirty-fourth layer of this universe. The current scene was quite similar.
No… the current display was even more magnificent!
“Although… breaking through a new layer of heaven in the core of the universe is slightly easier, this is… too easy, right? One sword strike… and it broke through?” Hearing the True Martial Saint Lord’s words, the spirit of the Heavenly Principle Tower also shook, widening its eyes in surprise.
This scenario was far different from what they had anticipated!
Originally, they thought that Lin Yun’s attempt to break through the thirty-fifth layer of this universe would be extremely difficult and might take a long time. However, the stark contrast with reality was huge.
“Hu! Hu! Hu!”
Lin Yun was also stunned but quickly calmed his heart and started to absorb these energies of Heaven and Earth.
He knew that this opportunity was extremely rare and could allow his strength to rapidly rise.
“Seize the chance, these energies of Heaven and Earth are extremely dense and quite special; absorbing and refining some of them will greatly aid our cultivation…” At this point, the True Martial Saint Lord also recovered, turned his head to look at the others, and spoke in a low voice.
With so much energy of Heaven and Earth nearly covering the entire universe, Lin Yun simply could not absorb and refine it all. If everyone absorbed it fully, it would not affect Lin Yun.
“I will absorb some too!” The spirit of the Heavenly Principle Tower felt a surge of inspiration and thought.
It had let the Heavenly Principle Tower’s body stay in the core of this universe precisely to borrow the power of the universe to absorb its Heaven and Earth energy. Now, the situation was even more favorable for it to gather energy without impacting Lin Yun, and naturally, it would not miss this opportunity.
“This is great, this is great, one breath’s time is equivalent to the Heaven and Earth energy I used to collect over several years…” Soon, the spirit of the Heavenly Principle Tower exclaimed excitedly.
How long was the duration of one breath?
Yet it equaled the energy it had collected over several years!
The speed of collecting Heaven and Earth energy was incredibly fast!
It quickly began to excitedly gather these energies with great eagerness!
With more Heaven and Earth energy, it could also accelerate the cultivation of those heavenly treasures and materials. Perhaps, this time, it would be able to recoup the cost of the treasures spent on Lin Yun.
