NOVPUBChapter 1086: Chapter 920 Subjugation_2 Chapter 1086: Chapter 920 Subjugation_2 A strong sense of humiliation welled up within him, yet reality told him that if he did not agree, he would likely die as the other party said.
His hard-earned Peak Saint King cultivation would also vanish into smoke and clouds.
“Submit to me, or die,” Lin Yun stated coldly as he stared at Qingshang Saint King.
A Peak Saint King still held an extremely high status in the universe of spirits, invulnerable to contempt by anyone except the Invincible Saint Kings and the legendary Cultivators of the Divine Realm. If he could subjugate the other party, it would save him a lot of trouble when he entered the universe of spirits.
“Submit… or die?” Qingshang Saint King’s heart trembled as he muttered softly.
As expected, the other party wanted to subdue him.
His facial expression fluctuated, torn between the choice to submit or die.
The other party was just a mid-level Saint Lord, and yet demanded his submission as a Peak Saint King, an immense humiliation indeed…
However, this wasn’t an ordinary mid-level Saint Lord. Not only was he very powerful, but he was also very likely the being who had shattered two of the last three heavens of the thirty-six-layered cosmic system, with a limitless future and a high likelihood of becoming an entity like the Invincible Saint King.
A Peak Saint King submitting to an Invincible Saint King didn’t seem unacceptable, did it?
But after all, that was the future, and it was not easy to become an Invincible Saint King. The other party might not necessarily become one in the future. Before that happened, his submission as a Peak Saint King to the other party was a fact.
The two thoughts intertwined incessantly in Qingshang Saint King’s mind.
“What’s wrong? Not willing? Or would you rather die willingly, allowing those scoundrels to escape? If you really die, then you will be fulfilling them with your life!” Lin Yun said with a cold smile as he glanced back at the Saint Kings who had escaped far away.
Upon hearing Lin Yun’s piercing words, Qingshang Saint King’s pupils shrank slightly, a strong sense of unwillingness rising in his heart.
Yes, he felt extremely unwilling to die for those people, to use his life to enable the escape of those scoundrels, which constituted an even greater humiliation.
“May I ask you a question?” Qingshang Saint King took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.
“Ask away,” Lin Yun replied indifferently as he sheathed the Blood Prison Sword, with the Blood Sword flying behind his back, and one hand casually placed behind him, clad in his dashing white robes.
He knew that the other party’s mindset was already shaken; during this time, his power had fallen by more than half, and Lin Yun could kill him swiftly at any moment. There was no need to continue the killing.
If against the odds, the other party submitted to him, then reinstating his strength would become even more troublesome.
Conversely, if the other party did not submit to him, killing him later wouldn’t be too late.
“Are you the one who shattered the two heavens of the last three heavens in this universe?” Qingshang Saint King looked at Lin Yun and asked, word by word.
This battle had been incredibly frustrating for him. If not for the other’s ability to become stronger with each strike while his enemies weakened, and if not for the universe’s tremendous aid to his opponent, he, a Peak Saint King, would not have fallen into such a state. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
“I haven’t shattered the two heavens out of the last three heavens of this universe!” Seeing the serious expression on Qingshang Saint King’s face, Lin Yun’s mouth curved slightly as he spoke.
“You do not believe me…” Qingshang Saint King frowned.
The person who shatters a universe’s new heavens gains a destiny force from that universe within the great universe of spirits, receiving assistance in all matters and cultivation.
Thus, such a person is often targeted because by killing them, a lot of that power can be transferred to the slayer.
By reaping benefits, one also faces dangers, perhaps this is the cosmic rule’s notion of fairness.
In his eyes, the other’s denial signified distrust, fearing he might spread the news and thus bring danger upon him. The power of Origin Force and destiny from shattering two heavens out of the last three heavens of a thirty-six-layered cosmic system is far from a trifling amount.
He could feel an immense Origin Force from two realms within Lin Yun, something far beyond what he had sensed from another Cultivator who had shattered the very last heaven of a thirty-six-layered cosmic system.
He believed that Lin Yun had definitely shattered those two heavens, and it was very probable they were the last two of the three final heavens of this universe.
His inquiry was merely for confirmation.
“I have shattered all the heavens of the last three of this universe!” Lin Yun slowly stated.
He was not afraid to reveal this to Qingshang Saint King because if he chose to submit, Lin Yun was confident he could prevent the Saint King from revealing it.
On the other hand, he was once the crown prince of the Divine Clan. From the very beginning of heaven and earth, the Divine Clan had access to all sorts of significant information, and he was of a very high status within the Divine Clan. He didn’t even know what kinds of benefits one could reap from breaking the last three layers of a universe.
He had never heard of any Cultivator who had managed to break the last three layers of a universe either.
He guessed that even the New Gods who led the slaughter against their people might not know about this.
By the time the others found out about it, who knows when that would be. By then, he might have already grown in power, or at the very least, he would have reached the point of being invincible.
Lin Yun was very confident that he could quickly reach that level.
Therefore, he did not hide this matter from Qingshang Saint King.
Of course, what benefits one would get from breaking the last three layers of a universe, he was not foolish enough to tell the other party.
Actually, the reason he told the other party was to see if they knew anything about the matter.
As a Peak Saint King, standing at the pinnacle of the world of spirits, he should be privy to various top-level pieces of information.
The Divine Clan, high and mighty as they were, might not intentionally look for information from lower tiers, but that might not be the case for someone who is at the top of those lower tiers.
Having said that, Lin Yun’s eyes stared intently at the other party, partly to gauge their reaction, and partly because if they still did not submit, he would not mind killing them on the spot.
While a Peak Saint King was meaningful to him, they were not something he absolutely needed.
“What? You broke all of the last three layers of this universe?” Hearing Lin Yun’s words, Qingshang Saint King’s body shook violently, his face filled with disbelief.
Breaking two layers of a universe was already an extremely difficult feat, let alone three layers… and not to mention, it was the last three layers of a universe.
It was said that some powerful forces and Cultivators knew of some cheats, like using reincarnation to break many layers of a Layered Cosmic System, but there were all kinds of restrictions involved, and the final results were not necessarily as significant as breaking three layers of a universe.
As for the last three layers of a universe, there was absolutely no way to cheat them.
He had never heard of any Cultivator who had managed to break the last three layers of a universe…
Even in the lowest-level nine-layered universes, nobody had managed to do it!
Such a feat was truly defying the heavens!
And he, he had actually accomplished such a thing!
At this moment, Qingshang Saint King seemed to understand why this human youth seemed to defy the heavens!
Perhaps it was because he had broken all three layers of the last three layers of this universe!
“Indeed, now, you can make a choice. If you decide quickly, I might still have time to stop those Saint Kings!” Lin Yun nodded slightly, and as he spoke, he looked up again at the Saint Kings who were still fleeing.
In his words, he seemed to regard those Saint Kings as insignificant, their lives hanging by a thread held by his will — to kill or not to kill was merely a thought away.
In fact, those Saint Kings also realized that the fight between Lin Yun and Qingshang Saint King had stopped, and they were even more urgently trying to flee the confines of this universe. They did not know what Lin Yun and Qingshang Saint King were talking about.
However, the cessation of their battle was definitely not a good sign.
With Lin Yun’s speed within this universe being so unpredictable, if he were to pursue any one of them now, none had the confidence to escape.
“Stop those Saint Kings?” Qingshang Saint King’s heart quivered.
Those Saint Kings had abandoned him, using him as a scapegoat, and he did indeed hold deep resentment against them…
“Fine, I agree to submit to you!” Qingshang Saint King gritted his teeth and quickly nodded in agreement.
The other party having broken all the last three layers of this universe, their talent was unimaginable. At the very least, they were destined to become an Invincible Saint King in the future, and reaching even higher achievements was not entirely out of the question.
As the saying goes, it’s easy to add flowers to the brocade, but difficult to send charcoal in snowy weather.
Now, the other party had not yet fully grown. Submitting to him at this moment might not be a bad thing after all.
