NOVPUBChapter 1072: Chapter 914: The Theory of Divinity Chapter 1072: Chapter 914: The Theory of Divinity “It’s over!”
Lin Yun, upon witnessing this scene, whispered low.
“Buzz~”
A massive surge of Domain Power spread in every direction and then abruptly contracted, pulling the countless pieces of flesh from the middle-aged man’s exploded body towards Lin Yun, not a single scrap left behind.
Outside of this universe, with Lin Yun’s current strength, he might not have been able to ensure this outcome, but within this universe, with his powerful connection to it, achieving this was a breeze.
If the middle-aged man had not self-destructed, he might have withstood a few more of Lin Yun’s moves. Now, however, not a single move was necessary.
Nonetheless, there was no difference—it was merely a matter of dying sooner rather than later.
“No—no—”
The middle-aged man, sensing this, screamed in horror as the flesh resonated throughout the space.
His Spirituality was already shattered into innumerable pieces. If Lin Yun were to completely annihilate him, it would mean true death, and not even the chance for reincarnation would remain.
“Buzz~ Buzz~”
However, Lin Yun paid no attention to the man’s pleas. The Blood Prison Sword in his hand radiated dazzling blood-colored light as the flesh was absorbed, and the glow on the Blood Prison Sword grew even brighter.
In a past life, when he was the Blood Emperor, he had slain countless Spirit and Ghost Practitioners, billions, in fact. If he had acknowledged the pleas for mercy from each one, he would have grown exhausted long ago.
“This sword… This sword… seems remarkably similar to the Blood Prison Sword used by the Blood Emperor of the Netherworld. Indeed, the stronger it strikes, the more powerful it becomes. This is the same method possessed by the Blood Emperor of the Netherworld. You… what is your connection to the Netherworld’s Blood Emperor?”
Just then, the terrified voice of the middle-aged man rang out again.
As the numerous fragments of his Spirituality were refined by the Blood Prison Sword, his awareness of the sword’s capabilities became even clearer. Additionally, he remembered where he had seen these abilities before.
The Blood Emperor of the Netherworld… It was there that he had witnessed such powers…
However, he had not personally seen that battle but later watched it through recordings. Nonetheless, he could feel the terrifying strength of the Blood Emperor of the Netherworld from that battle.
Perhaps, because he had seen it through a recording, he did not immediately recall this.
He dared not think that the Blood Prison Sword in Lin Yun’s hands was the same as the one belonging to the Blood Emperor of the Netherworld.
The might of the Blood Emperor of the Netherworld was terrifying; even in the vast Spirit World, he was a supreme entity, rumored to be unchallengeable unless Divine Realm powerhouses emerged.
It was said that the Netherworld’s overall might significantly paled in comparison to the Spirit World, yet the Blood Emperor’s power there was unmatched.
In such circumstances, the Blood Emperor of the Netherworld was unlikely to face any danger.
The human youth before him, although possessing impressive strength and remarkable talent, still paled when compared to the legendary figure of the Netherworld, a cultivator from hundreds of millions of years ago. A young man from the human world—a champion of the Blood Emperor’s Blood Prison Sword—should not have ended up with it in his hands.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t shake the feeling that this human youth might have some connection with the Netherworld’s Blood Emperor.
“Hmm?”
Lin Yun’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
Back when he was the Blood Emperor, he had not appeared in the Spirit World often, because he knew very well that the powerhouses there were no trifling matter. Despite his strength, he was no match for a Divine Realm powerhouse.
Those Divine Realm powerhouses, due to their cultivation circumstances, did not show themselves in the outside world, but that did not mean they would never do so. Had he encountered one, it would have been extremely dangerous.
He had no impression of this middle-aged man, neither in his life as the Blood Emperor nor as Lingtian, yet to his surprise, the man knew of his title of Blood Emperor and knew of the Blood Prison Sword as well as the skills he wielded with it.
“You know of the Blood Emperor?”
To prevent any collateral damage, Lin Yun halted his actions and questioned.
“The Blood Emperor of the Netherworld, one of the nine supreme beings of the Netherworld, famous throughout the Spirit World for being a Ghost Practitioner. How could I not know? If I had realized earlier that you possessed the Blood Emperor’s powers, I definitely wouldn’t have antagonized you!” To Lin Yun’s surprise, the middle-aged man replied, taking the opportunity to talk now that Lin Yun had ceased his attack, his voice heavy with pleas for mercy.
“My lord, my conflict with you was truly unintentional, and I have learned my lesson. Please spare me, I am willing to offer all of my wealth, and I would also like to share a great opportunity with you…” Immediately following, the middle-aged man hurriedly spoke again, with a tone full of entreaty.
Grasping tightly onto this unexpected chance to speak again, he did not let it slip.
“Oh? You’re not planning to have your friends and family come for revenge anymore? Those were your words before!” Lin Yun replied flippantly.
Lin Yun had defeated this middle-aged man to claim the power within him. Now, the man had been so weakened that only a faint amount of strength remained.
To completely annihilate him would yield little additional power.
If he weren’t resolved on ensuring the proverbial snake was dead, letting him go wouldn’t have been out of the question.
Mainly, what piqued his interest was this ‘great opportunity’ the man spoke of.
This middle-aged was an upper-level Saint King Realm cultivator, in the Spirit World, where even without the intervention of Divine Realm powerhouses, he belonged to the upper echelons. Therefore, something considered a great opportunity by him couldn’t be simple.
