NOVPUBChapter 1041: Chapter 898: Lord White Bone_2 Chapter 1041: Chapter 898: Lord White Bone_2 This is terrible, this is really terrible!
After Lin Yun broke through the thirty-fourth layer of the universe, in no time, his strength grew to match theirs, and now that he has broken through the universe’s thirty-fifth layer, what level has his strength reached? Given more time, what level would he grow to?
“Yes!”
“To what extent has Lin Yun’s strength reached, I wonder?”
“Fortunately, Brother Mastiff made a decisive move to contact that Saint King Level powerhouse. He should be returning soon now, otherwise, we few would be no match for Lin Yun, and I’m afraid we might all be hunted and devoured one by one by him…”
Several lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners all had grave expressions.
Brother Mastiff is indeed on his way back, but it’s uncertain whether he will return in time or manage to bring back even more formidable Ghost Practitioner experts. If he fails to return in time, or to bring back more powerful Ghost Practitioner experts, what should they do?
“Let’s inform Brother Mastiff about the situation here…” one of the lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners said hastily.
Whoosh—
At this moment, two figures appeared at the entrance of a passageway.
“Oh? This universe’s thirty-fifth layer has been broken through by Lin Yun?”
A voice with a light smile sounded as if finding the matter very interesting.
“What?”
“Who?”
Startled by the voice, the two lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners guarding the passageway turned around and bellowed, as two powerful auras suddenly surged from their beings.
“Brother Wood, Brother Bull, please cease, this is Lord White Bone…” A ghostly figure urgently stepped in front of the two lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners and loudly exclaimed.
This ghostly figure was none other than the intermediate Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioner, Tri-Headed Dog, who had left earlier.
“Brother Mastiff?”
“You’ve returned?”
Seeing the Tri-Headed Dog Ghost Practitioner blocking their way, the two lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners were first shocked, then they breathed a sigh of relief.
During this time, guarding this passageway, the two lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners felt anxious, especially since they had just witnessed Lin Yun most likely breaking through the universe’s thirty-fifth layer, which made them even more jittery, fearing that Lin Yun could burst through at any time.
Now that they saw the intermediate Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioner Tri-Headed Dog return, they felt a lot more at ease.
However, they quickly took note of Tri-Headed Dog’s words.
Lord White Bone?
A shock went through their hearts.
Could it be that the Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner powerhouse had arrived, the one that Brother Mastiff had gone to contact?
Truth be told, when Tri-Headed Dog left to contact the Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner, he did not inform them which one of the Saint Kings it was, seemingly cautious of offending the Saint King Level powerhouse.
Therefore, they were unaware of the name and identity of that Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner and whether it was indeed White Bone.
With these thoughts, they immediately looked up in the direction that Tri-Headed Dog’s gaze was pointing, and their hearts chilled once more.
The Ghost Practitioner in the direction indicated by Tri-Headed Dog indeed seemed extraordinary. Without emitting any aura, just a glance from them felt incredibly terrifying.
It was also because this Ghost Practitioner powerhouse had not released any aura just now that they had failed to sense his presence at first.
“Little Mu pays respects to Lord White Bone!”
“Little Bull pays respects to Lord White Bone!”
The two lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners paid their respects to this Ghost Practitioner powerhouse, very courteously and respectfully.
The Netherworld is also a world where power commands respect, and they felt no discomfort in showing their reverence.

“No need for such formalities. Discovering the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor is a tremendous achievement. Once this matter is concluded, you shall serve under my command. This Spirit Universe will be entrusted to your management…” Lord White Bone, bearing a human likeness and appearing exceptionally sinister and handsome, glanced at the two lower-rank Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners, his lips curling slightly as he spoke.
“Thank you, Lord White Bone, for your support! Thank you, Lord White Bone, for your support!”
Upon hearing Lord White Bone’s words, the Tri-Headed Dog Ghost Practitioner was extremely excited, its canine body kneeling while all three heads bowed down.
The two lower-rank Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners were equally thrilled, hastily kneeling to show their respect.
This outcome was, without doubt, the very best they could have envisioned, and now that it had materialised, how could they not be overjoyed?
“Right, Lord White Bone, that human named Lin Yun may not necessarily be the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor…” Just then, the Ghost Practitioner with the head of a bull suddenly seemed to recall something. He raised his head, his tone uneasy, as his bullish stubbornness took over once more.
However, he had a reason to mention this. Lord White Bone had said that finding the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor was a tremendous achievement, and the bull-headed Ghost Practitioner feared that if Lin Yun was not the reincarnation, Lord White Bone, in his disappointment, might direct his anger at them.
It was better to clarify this matter sooner rather than later.
“Heh heh, you do not understand the difficulty of breaking through the final two layers of a Spirit Universe. Not only did that Lin Yun accomplish this, but also did so at the tender age of just thirty or forty years. Moreover, with the Blood Prison Sword in his possession, there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that he is the incarnation of the Blood Emperor…” Lord White Bone chuckled, his eyes sparkling with cunning as he spoke softly.
At this moment, his mood was incomparably delighted.
The Tri-Headed Dog and other Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners were still somewhat ignorant.
They only knew that breaking through a new layer in a Spirit Universe was difficult, and that after breaking through one layer, the subsequent layers were many times harder to break.
This feat was almost impossible for ordinary spirits.
What they didn’t know was that there were some shortcuts that could be exploited.
For instance, as the Tri-Headed Dog Ghost Practitioner had previously recounted to him, this universe once bore witness to a human powerhouse named Er Lee, who led a group of people to break through over a dozen layers of the universe.
For a spirit to break a new layer in a universe is nearly impossible. Those who succeed would almost certainly be the most brilliant and dazzling figures of their era, perhaps even leading for generations. Er Lee, however, led a group that broke through over a dozen layers, which speaks volumes about his extraordinary talent.
Nevertheless, Lord White Bone did not pay much mind to that Er Lee.
He was well aware that Er Lee had merely used a shortcut.
It was rumored that Er Lee was actually a reincarnated powerhouse from a greater world outside, which made his feat even less remarkable.
However, the final three layers of a universe were absolutely impossible to break through using any tricks; one must rely solely on their own strength to do so.
Breaking through a new layer of a Spirit Universe and obtaining its Origin Force – even gaining a fraction of the Origin Force from the greater world outside – would enhance the fortune, cultivation speed, and other aspects of that spirit.
Such an individual would instantly become the Child of Destiny of that universe and would even enjoy subtle benefits in the greater world outside.
However, in Lord White Bone’s opinion, or in the view of many powerhouses at his level, merely breaking through the initial layers of a universe, even if one breaks through many such layers, makes them nothing but a false Child of Destiny.
The benefits gained from breaking any of the final three layers of a universe far exceed those from breaking all the preceding layers combined.
Only a spirit who breaks one of the final three layers of a universe truly merits the title of Child of Destiny of that universe.
Such a force of destiny can bring significant benefits even in the greater world outside. Hence, such individuals, once they enter the wider world and provided they do not fall midway, will inevitably become illustrious powerhouses of their realm.
Such immense benefits are naturally…
The final three layers of a universe, any one of them, is extremely difficult to break!
And to break two out of the final three layers of a universe is to be a genius among geniuses, an unrivalled phenomenon!
Especially so, since this universe is one of thirty-six layered heavens!
“As far as I know, in the innumerable spirit universes of the outer world, there are very few who can achieve this feat, and to do so in such a short time… Other than the Blood Emperor from the Netherworld who once stunned countless Ghost Practitioners, who else could there be?” Lord White Bone murmured softly.
A faint trace of Domain Power emanated around him, preventing his voice from carrying any further.
“If this Lin Yun turns out not to be the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor… that would be even better. It would mean that the legend is true, that the Blood Prison Sword truly possesses the ability to help one break through a new layer of the universe. If I obtain the Blood Prison Sword, who in the entire Netherworld could stand against me?” Pausing for a moment, Lord White Bone wetted his lips, his voice tinged with a hint of excitement.
At this moment, he was truly excited, very excited.
