A powerful sword air instantly reached the middle-aged man and pierced through countless defense layers in a moment.
“What?” The middle-aged man was shocked, his body hastily retreating.
He had not expected that this mid-level Holy Sovereign young man would act as soon as he spoke.
He also had not expected the young powerhouse’s strength to be so formidable; with one sword strike, he shattered so many defense layers that even a cultivator at the mid-level Saint King Realm would find it difficult to achieve!
Was this mid-level Holy Sovereign young man’s strength actually surpassing that of the mid-level Saint King Realm?
Even if the young man had broken the final realm of this universe, and his talent was exceedingly monstrous, wasn’t this a bit too monstrous?
“Indeed, no cultivator who has broken through one of the final three realms of any universe should be underestimated, especially this universe which is a thirty-six Layered Cosmic System, and this cultivator has broken through the very last realm of it, moreover, within this universe…”
The middle-aged man quickly drew a cold breath internally, reminding himself in secret.
This time, he had been careless and had not expected the youth to be so powerful. Fortunately, it had not caused too grave consequences, and it was not too late for him to treat the situation seriously.
At this moment, he still did not believe Lin Yun’s strength could pose a threat to him. In his opinion, Lin Yun’s power could be so strong partly due to their presence within this universe.
Once a universe’s New Layered Heaven was broken by a cultivator, that cultivator became the Child of Destiny of that particular universe, especially if it was one of the final three realms.
Thus, when such a cultivator exerted their powers in this universe, they would do so with great ease and as if heaven itself was lending aid.
In his view, since Lin Yun had broken through the last realm of this universe, it was natural for his strength to receive a massive boost here.
However, a mid-level Holy Sovereign displaying power surpassing that of a mid-level Saint King should still have reached their limit.
“Mid-level Saint King power, huh? Very good…” A glint of cunning flickered deep in the middle-aged man’s eyes.
What was mid-level Saint King power after all? What was surpassing mid-level Saint King power?
In the end, it was not the genuine mid-level Saint King Realm…
The fighting consciousness, reactions, and so forth, must be far inferior to a normal mid-level Saint King Realm, even a common Saint King!
Life vitality and so on, even more disparate by leagues and bounds!
If the other party attacked him, by the time he took notice, they might not even land an attack on him, and even if they did, it might not break through his defense, and even if it did break through, it might not cause him any significant damage!
Conversely, if he broke through the other party’s defense, one move could extinguish many of the opponent’s vital points, a few moves could annihilate them. How could the two compare?
“Good! Very good! No wonder those Ghost Practitioners were chased away by you. With your strength, even general Saint King Level Ghost Practitioners couldn’t kill you. Dragging the fight could attract the real powerhouses from the Spirit World, and then, they might not be able to escape!”
Since you chased away those Ghost Practitioners, then, let’s use your life as compensation!”
These thoughts all flashed through the middle-aged man’s mind in an instant, and then, with a cold smile, he spoke.
“Buzz!”
While speaking, the middle-aged man extended his hand, and a black axe artifact appeared in his grasp. At this moment, he had even thought ahead to how great his gains would be after he killed Lin Yun.
“Two-world Origin Force, and from breaking through the final realm of a thirty-six Layered Cosmic System no less, my luck isn’t bad. I hope you won’t disappoint me afterward…” The middle-aged man thought to himself.
“Boom!”
With these thoughts, the middle-aged man had already sent an axe strike towards Lin Yun and his company, its powerful momentum like that of splitting heavens and earth, cracking the space greatly.
The strength of an upper Saint King was evident.
“Heaven induced disasters can be forgiven; self-induced disasters must be endured!” Lin Yun shook his head slightly.
Just now, he had unleashed a strong strike thinking that this upper Saint King would withdraw after seeing his formidable power, given that he had displayed strength surpassing that of a common mid-level Saint King and this Saint King level cultivator was only at the upper Saint King Realm, surely no match for him.
Unexpectedly, after seeing his strength, the upper Saint King became even more determined to kill him, truly intent on taking his life… Lin Yun had an extremely tight connection to this universe’s Origin Force, and as long as he was within this universe, he could easily sense the general thoughts of some people.
Moreover, this upper Saint King cultivator, perhaps due to confidence or something else, did not bother to conceal his thoughts.
This upper Saint King cultivator harbored murderous intentions towards them from the beginning, and that was one of the reasons Lin Yun had strongly retaliated. Now, the opponent’s intention to kill was even stronger, which was tantamount to courting death.
People’s thoughts are often just in the moment.
Initially, when this person developed murderous intentions towards them, Lin Yun was merely displeased and did not sentence this person to death right away. As long as the person finally retracted his murderous intent, Lin Yun was not against letting him go.
“`
But now, there was no need.
“Swoosh!”
With a thought, Lin Yun teleported next to this upper-level Saint King and viciously swung his sword at him.
The power of this sword strike was more than double that of the previous one.
“Boom—Rumble—”
As the middle-aged man’s black axe attack fell through, Lin Yun’s sword slash landed on him once again.
The first sword strike had heavily damaged the defensive layer around the middle-aged man and it had barely recovered when the second sword strike came down, completely shattering the remaining defenses, and then the sword truly struck the man’s body.
Blood light flashed, but was quickly absorbed by the Blood Prison Sword.
“Hum! Hum!”
The Blood Prison Sword emitted a dazzling blood-red light, overflowing with excitement. The essence blood and power of an upper-level Saint King were of great benefit to it, and Lin Yun’s strength also increased at the same time.
“Not good!”
The middle-aged man’s face changed drastically, and he cried out.
The sudden teleportation took him by surprise.
Not only was the strength of the force used unexpectedly stronger, but it also broke through his defenses and struck his body. Moreover, the damage caused to his life force by the attack far exceeded his expectations—it wasn’t any less severe than a regular upper-level Saint King’s attack, and in fact, it was many times stronger.
“Swoosh! Swoosh!”
This time, Lin Yun showed no mercy and paid no attention to the middle-aged man’s reaction, quickly striking two more swords at the man.
“Hum—”
The Blood Prison Sword released a radiance that lit up the entire space, as sword shadows enveloped the middle-aged man, continuously inflicting wounds upon him. The aura of the Blood Prison Sword grew stronger and stronger.
“How can this human youth be so terrifyingly powerful, surpassing the strength of an upper-level Saint King? His combat instincts, reactions, and everything else are impeccable, even stronger than mine. Can there really be such a fearsome combat genius in this world? Even if he has broken through the final layer of this universe, even within this universe, how can he exhibit such terrifying strength…”
The middle-aged man began to panic, incredulous.
But now, no matter how incredulous he was, the reality in front of him forced him to believe.
His life force was diminishing far more quickly than he had imagined, and yet the damage he inflicted on his opponent was nearly nonexistent.
The situation he had envisioned was completely reversed.
“I can’t go on like this. If I do, I’m afraid I’ll die here…” The very next moment, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth, turned around, and quickly rushed toward the outer reaches of the universe.
He was fleeing!
Although this was embarrassing for his reputation, what was pride worth when compared to life? Naturally, life was more precious!
Having lived countless years and reached this point, he knew all too well the importance of preserving life!
No matter how great the benefits, no matter how much face he lost, nothing was as important as saving one’s life!
Only by preserving life could he reach even greater lengths!
“Now you think of fleeing, don’t you think it’s too late?” Lin Yun’s eyes flashed coldly as he said in a deep voice.
Whoosh!
As he spoke, Lin Yun’s figure flashed, already in pursuit of the middle-aged man.
Before their conflict, if the other wished to leave, it could have been overlooked.
Now that they had clashed, he had to completely finish off his opponent.
Otherwise, leaving a snake half-dead would only lead to endless calamities.
This, he understood well.
