NOVPUBChapter 1040: Chapter 898: Lord of the White Bones Chapter 1040: Chapter 898: Lord of the White Bones “Boom, boom, boom…”
Just when Lin Yun shattered the thirty-fifth New Layered Heaven in this universe, great tremors occurred throughout the universe.
“What’s happening?”
“It seems like there’s been a change in the world?”
“It appears to be the kind of change that happened in recent years, the environment of this universe is going to get better…”
“Heaven have mercy, our universe has encountered a catastrophe, but the heavens have not abandoned us, allowing our universe’s environment to keep improving…”
“Could this be what they mean when they say ‘great risks come with great opportunities’?”
Due to the invasion of Ghost Practitioners from the Netherworld, the days have been hard for many of the original top forces and powerful beings of this universe. At this moment, as they looked up at the changes occurring throughout the universe, they started to get excited.
“This is great, I’ve absorbed more than a dozen Crystal Cores from supreme-level Ghost Practitioners, only lacking an opportunity to break through to the medium Saint Lord Realm. Now, the opportunity has appeared, and I must break through to the medium Saint Lord Realm. Once I break through, my clan’s chances of survival will greatly increase…” In a hidden place, a lower Saint Lord Realm being of the Three-eyed Clan was meditating with closed eyes. Behind him, rows of Three-eyed beings were also sitting cross-legged, meditating. Suddenly, the lower Saint Lord Realm being opened all three of his eyes with delight and exclaimed.
…
At the two channels connecting this universe with the Netherworld, the four lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners were guarding both channels. They could observe the situation in this universe while being able to retreat to the Netherworld at any moment.
In fact, since the day they left the Heavenly Principle Tower, they had realized something was wrong.
Lin Yun’s power might not be as strong as theirs.
Moreover, Lin Yun might not actually be the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor, but someone who had acquired the Blood Emperor’s information from the Blood Prison Sword and merely mimicked the way the Blood Emperor fought.
However, they didn’t dare to bet on it.
If Lin Yun really was the reincarnated Blood Emperor, possessing the means to annihilate them, and simply had not used them yet, they would be seeking their own deaths if they went back.
They were also afraid if they continued to confront Lin Yun and his power was indeed not as strong as theirs, he might simply decide not to return to the Heavenly Principle Tower. Not only would it be more difficult for them to find Lin Yun, but if Lin Yun managed to break through one of the two channels connecting this universe to the Netherworld, it would be even harder for them to locate him within the vastness of the Netherworld.
Ghost Practitioners could enter the universe of the spirits through the channels, and spirits could naturally enter the Netherworld the same way.
At that time, if they tried to report this development to a Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner, they would have lost a significant advantage.
The two channels that connected this universe with the Netherworld were both a strength and a weakness.
Among them, there were only five Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners.
Four were lower Saint Lords, with only one being a medium-level Saint Lord.
Unless they, the five of them, with three lower-level Saint Lord Ghost Practitioners blocking one channel and the other lower Saint Lord with the medium Saint Lord Ghost Practitioner blocking the other channel, they might be able to prevent Lin Yun from entering the Netherworld through either channel.
Otherwise, with Lin Yun’s burgeoning power, if there were only two lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners, they could not be one hundred percent confident about blocking him.
However, if all five Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners were to guard the two channels, then none would be left to confront Lin Yun. With Lin Yun’s strength, any Ghost Practitioner entering this universe would essentially become Lin Yun’s “prey,” and the whole universe would serve as a hunting ground for Lin Yun to grow stronger.
As time passed, Lin Yun’s strength would swell rapidly. In not too long a time, even if Lin Yun wasn’t the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor and lacked any other means, they probably wouldn’t stand a chance against him.
It was a path leading to certain death.
Therefore, they were left with only one option…
That was the choice they had already discussed.
The medium Saint Lord Realm Tri-Headed Dog Ghost Practitioner would enter the Netherworld to contact a Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner, while the four lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners would each defend one of the two channels to prevent Lin Yun from leaving this universe.
With two lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners guarding each channel, along with countless other super-level Ghost Practitioners with considerable strength, they should be able to barely hold off Lin Yun.
They analyzed that Lin Yun was unlikely to abandon the spirits of this universe and venture into the Netherworld.
The Netherworld was home to countless Ghost Practitioners, among whom there were numerous powerhouses. For Ghost Practitioners, spirits were an ultimate delicacy. It was extremely dangerous for spirits to enter the Netherworld, and from a safety perspective, Lin Yun probably wouldn’t easily venture into the Netherworld.
So the four lower Saint Lord Ghost Practitioners guarding the two channels felt somewhat at ease.
They also sensed the commotion when Lin Yun shattered the thirty-fifth New Layered Heaven in this universe.
“This commotion… could it be that the thirty-fifth New Layered Heaven of this universe has been broken?”
“Looking at the information coming from over there, it should be that Lin Yun who shattered this universe’s thirty-fifth New Layered Heaven! How is this possible? Once a new layered heaven of a spirit’s universe is broken by a spirit, the difficulty for that spirit to break through the new layered heavens increases exponentially! Lin Yun has already broken this universe’s thirty-fourth heaven, and now he has shattered the thirty-fifth as well?”
Several lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners were shaken, shock written on their faces.
“That Er Lee broke through several layered heavens of this universe in succession. The original Blood Emperor consecutively shattered a total of eight layered heavens in the Netherworld. With Lin Yun located in this universe and possessing the Blood Prison Sword of the Blood Emperor, and likely being the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor himself, it’s not surprising that he’s broken through two layered heavens, but it’s only been a few years…” In a moment, a lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioner took a deep breath, trembling with fear inside.
