NOVPUBChapter 1055: Chapter 905: Is it really that weak?_2 Chapter 1055: Chapter 905: Is it really that weak?_2 He could probably sense that if this palm strike hit him, even if he did not die, he would definitely have no strength left to resist any further, and it would be a matter of two or three more moves at most.
For combatants at their level, how fast are two or three moves? It’s likely that they would take less than an instant!
So…he was doomed…
Unless some power intervened!
Thinking this, Saint King Rosen’s peripheral vision glanced at Lin Yun not far away.
Lin Yun was still meditating with his eyes closed, his face serene.
In his heart, Saint King Rosen could not help but wryly smile.
The other party, it seems, truly did not hold his life in regard!
Any regrets?
Maybe, a little!
But now, what use were regrets?
At the last moment, Saint King Rosen closed his eyes.
“Clang!”
However, the anticipated attack did not strike him; instead, a metallic clashing sound rang out in front of him.
Saint King Rosen opened his eyes.
He saw a young man in white holding a crimson sword, standing in front of him, confronting the White Emperor.
“The Blood Emperor has intervened… He really did…,” Saint King Rosen said, his face lit up with surprise and his body trembling with excitement.
He had never expected that, at the most critical moment, when his life hung by a thread, Lin Yun would indeed make a move.
Before his eyes, Lin Yun was the reincarnated body of the Blood Emperor. This meant that the Blood Emperor had acted for him! What a defying figure the Blood Emperor had once been… and now, even as a ghost practitioner from the Netherworld, opposed to the realm of spirits, he couldn’t help but feel an immense sense of honor.
“You…you have broken through to the mid-level Saint Lord Realm…” The White Emperor looked at Lin Yun with a significantly changed expression, his voice trembling slightly.
Ordinary cultivators at the mid-level Saint Lord Realm naturally wouldn’t concern him!
However, this human youth was not an ordinary cultivator; he was someone who, at the Peak Saint Lord Realm, could rival a Peak Saint King, and at the lower Saint Lord Realm, he could match a lower Saint King!
Now, with Lin Yun breaking through to the mid-level Saint Lord Realm, he most likely possessed strength comparable to that of a mid-level Saint King!
Furthermore, Lin Yun was the reincarnated body of the Blood Emperor…what kind of person was the Blood Emperor in his past life, and now that he possesses such power, can he still consider Lin Yun an opponent?
At this moment, the White Emperor was filled with immense regret.
Now, he thoroughly understood that this reincarnated body of the Blood Emperor did not have some powerful trump card; rather, his greatest trump card was his ability to rapidly advance his realm!
How long had it been? In just a matter of days, he had watched Lin Yun break through from the upper Saint Lord Realm to the mid-level Saint Lord Realm. Even more so, Lin Yun’s breakthrough from the lower to the mid-level Saint Lord Realm took less than half an hour, a frighteningly fast pace of advancement!
Even his speed of recovery from injury would not be this fast!
He was shocked and frightened by the monstrous speed at which Lin Yun advanced his realm!
If only…he had not hesitated, had not doubted, and had struck Lin Yun immediately when he was still at the upper Saint Lord Realm, how strong could Lin Yun have been?
Perhaps, he could have ended the battle swiftly and obtained the opportunities Lin Yun possessed!
A moment’s indecision caused him to miss a tremendous opportunity!
How could he not be filled with regret?
“The Blood Emperor is truly worthy of the name; even after being reborn, he is so formidable. He had just broken through to the lower Saint Lord Realm, and now he’s already reached the mid-level Saint Lord Realm…” Saint King Rosen said on the other side, his face animated with excitement.
When his life was in mortal peril, the Blood Emperor saved him, which meant that Blood Emperor kept his promise and did not disregard his life. Hence, he need not worry about his own safety, whether the Blood Emperor repelled or killed the White Emperor.
Therefore, the stronger the Blood Emperor was, the better.
The stronger he was, the more secure his life would be.
At this moment, Saint King Rosen even felt a surge of relief in his heart.
Fortunately, he had not been persuaded by the White Emperor to strike against the Blood Emperor.
In just about ten minutes, the Blood Emperor had ascended from a lower-ranked Saint Lord to a mid-ranked Saint Lord Realm… Who knows if the Blood Emperor would soon advance to the upper echelon of the Saint Lord Realm, or even the Peak Saint Lord Realm?
What terrifying strength would the Blood Emperor possess then?
Or rather, the Blood Emperor’s indifferent attitude towards whether he sided with the White Emperor just now.
It was simply because he was not afraid whether he stood with the White Emperor or not… For the Blood Emperor was confident in dealing with them regardless.
Thinking this, Saint King Rosen felt even greater horror in his heart.
If that were the case, his decision just now was truly a life-or-death one.
He didn’t believe that, should he and the White Emperor fail to overpower the Blood Emperor, the White Emperor would help him fend off the Blood Emperor’s attack and let him escape first.
It would be a surprise if the White Emperor didn’t use him to block the brunt of the Blood Emperor’s assault.
Just now, if he had sided with the White Emperor, he would have been doomed for sure.
Inside the Heavenly Principle Tower space.
“Lin Yun has actually broken through to the mid-ranked Saint Lord Realm?”
“This is defying the heavens! Absolutely defying the heavens! Could shattering the thirty-sixth layer of a universe really confer such immense benefits? It’s just too unbelievable!”
“This is great; we’re saved!”
The spirit of the Heavenly Principle Tower and the followers of the True Martial Saint Lord witnessed this scene, and they too were shocked and excitedly exclaimed.
“After billions of years, the thirty-sixth layer of the Netherworld has been breached, and in the end, it gave birth to the Nine Emperors. For someone of your strength to actually become one of the Nine Emperors, and even be ranked alongside me, has the power of the Netherworld really become so weak?” Outside the Heavenly Principle Tower, Lin Yun glanced at the White Emperor with an indifferent expression and said flatly.
“You…” Hearing Lin Yun’s words, the White Emperor’s face turned sour, and he quickly grew angry, hissing lowly, “Blood Emperor, I respect the strength you had in your previous life, but you were also once a Ghost Practitioner of the Netherworld. Is there any meaning in humiliating our realm’s strength like this?”
“Humiliation? I’m just stating the facts!” Lin Yun shook his head and replied.
“Knowing that I am the Blood Emperor, you still dare to covet what’s mine. You’re quite bold. Unleash your full strength, let me see the true power of one of the Nine Emperors of the Netherworld!” Lin Yun paused, then stared at the White Emperor with a cold glint in his eyes and spoke.
“Hum!”
As he spoke, Lin Yun’s right hand extended flatly, the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand once again emitting a dazzling blood-red light and vibrating excitedly.
“Old friend, it’s been a long time since we’ve fought side by side. Let’s reclaim our former glory!” Lin Yun looked down at the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand, his expression revealing a trace of vicissitude and nostalgia, as he murmured softly.
“Hum! Hum! Hum!”
The Bloodthirsty Sword trembled intensely, with its entire blade turning a very deep red.
“Hum——”
Suddenly, a special blood-colored force burst forth from the depths of the Bloodthirsty Sword, swiftly enveloping Lin Yun. The auras of Lin Yun and the Bloodthirsty Sword began to rapidly merge.
Inside the Heavenly Principle Tower space.
“What’s this…?” The True Martial Saint Lord said in shock, not quite understanding what he had seen, although he guessed that something significant had happened between Lin Yun and the Bloodthirsty Sword.
“The Bloodthirsty Sword is beginning to acknowledge Lin Yun as its master!” the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit exclaimed excitedly, being a spirit, and moreover, not a low-ranked one, it naturally understood the changes occurring between Lin Yun and the Bloodthirsty Sword.
The level of the Bloodthirsty Sword was exceedingly high, and now recognizing Lin Yun as its master was no trivial matter. This was a true acknowledgment of a master, which meant that Lin Yun no longer needed to worry about the Bloodthirsty Sword’s backlash. Using the Bloodthirsty Sword would become much more effortless for Lin Yun, not to mention that in terms of power amplification, it could at the very least double.
Now, with Lin Yun’s breakthrough to the mid-ranked Saint Lord Realm and the Bloodthirsty Sword’s genuine acknowledgment of his mastery, dealing with the White Emperor’s attack should bolster his confidence even more!
As for the domineering words Lin Yun had spoken to the White Emperor just now, although they had heard them, they didn’t fully believe them.
In their view, Lin Yun was playing the role of the Blood Emperor reincarnated, mainly to intimidate the White Emperor into retreat.
But now, Lin Yun truly possessed the strength to confront the White Emperor.
“This is bad! We can’t wait any longer!” On the other side, the White Emperor, seeing this unfold, his face changed drastically, and he muttered under his breath.
At this moment, it realized that with each passing moment, Lin Yun’s power surged tremendously… It couldn’t wait any longer, otherwise, the situation would become increasingly unfavorable for it!
