NOVPUBChapter 1088: Chapter 922 Refusal to Surrender Chapter 1088: Chapter 922 Refusal to Surrender “This scene…”
In the heart of the universe core, the motionless Qingshang Saint King naturally witnessed this moment. He was shocked, and his thoughts spun rapidly. He had a very familiar feeling about this scene.
“Buzz~Boom~”
Elsewhere, Lin Yun’s sword swept away the bursting flesh of the Returning Crow Saint King. The Blood Prison Sword first emitted a dazzling blood-red glow, which then quickly faded.
The Returning Crow Saint King, an upper-tier Saint King, had fallen!
“The Returning Crow Saint King is dead!”
“The Returning Crow Saint King is dead!”
The escaping Saint Kings inhaled sharply, their hearts filled with even greater fear.
With the death of the Returning Crow Saint King, it was their turn next.
They just had to see who would be chosen.
This feeling of not being in control of one’s own life was immensely oppressive. They all deeply regretted not heeding the words of the Eastern Zhou Saint King, not waiting to join forces before entering this universe, not understanding the situation before directly entering.
“I remember now! The Netherworld Ghost Practitioner, the Blood Emperor! When a single sword struck down ten thousand saints, and one ghost battled three Peak Saint Kings using that sword… doesn’t it seem very similar to the Blood Sword in this human youth’s hand?” At this moment, Qingshang Saint King’s body shook, and he said with a face full of shock and uncertainty.
The overall strength of the Netherworld was far less than that of the Spirit World. At that time, if any Spirit Cultivator discovered a Spirit universe connected to the Netherworld, it was a tremendous opportunity, one that countless forces would go mad for.
Some forces even rose to become top powers of the Spirit World because of it.
The Netherworld Blood Emperor, however, was no ordinary Ghost Practitioner. Even in the Spirit World, he had the strength to battle three Peak Saint Kings as a lone ghost, and his power in the Netherworld would only be stronger.
Moreover, when Spirits entered the Netherworld, their strength was suppressed. Unless it was a Divine Realm powerhouse entering the Netherworld, even an Invincible Saint King might fall there upon encountering the Netherworld Blood Emperor.
It was the emergence of this Netherworld Blood Emperor that deterred countless Spirit powerhouses from recklessly entering the Netherworld. Discovering a Spirit universe connected to the Netherworld no longer incited the same frenzy.
In this respect, the Blood Emperor proved to be of immeasurable merit to all Ghost Practitioners of the entire Netherworld.
“Could it be, this sword is the same one wielded by the Netherworld Ghost Practitioner Blood Emperor?” Qingshang Saint King inhaled sharply.
What kind of strength did that Netherworld Blood Emperor possess? How could his sword fall into the hands of this human youth?
But upon careful consideration, it wasn’t impossible!
This Spirit universe seemed to be currently connected to the Netherworld, and now, the Blood Sword wielded by this human youth was uncannily reminiscent of the one used by the Netherworld Blood Emperor; it was too much of a coincidence!
Could it be that the Netherworld Blood Emperor had met with an accident? The Blood Sword was lost and just happened to end up in the hands of this human youth?
If so, this was a matter of grave importance!
Qingshang Saint King’s expression changed uncertainly, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts. However, he quickly suppressed them.
He had decided to submit to the other party, so he chose not to commit acts of betrayal.
Furthermore, with the other’s terrifying strength, it wouldn’t be easy for him to betray his new master.
During the time the other party killed the Returning Crow Saint King, he had realized that the strength he had lost was highly unusual. It seemed very difficult, even nearly impossible, to recover, and it might even have damaged his potential.
This was a severe injury. If he was unable to recover, not only would he not be able to advance any further, he might not even be able to return to the Peak Saint King Realm. Currently, his realm had not yet reacted, so he was still in the Peak Saint King Realm, but going forward, his realm was likely to drop.
“Stay behind!”
It was then that Lin Yun once again targeted a superior Saint King, quickly appearing by their side. With a slash of his sword, he spoke.
“No! No! Mercy! Have mercy, my lord! I am willing to surrender! I wish to surrender!”
The superior Saint King, his face filled with terror, hurriedly shouted out loud.
His strength was not greater than that of the Returning Crow Saint King. The Returning Crow Saint King had not been seriously injured earlier, and this human youth, once he caught up, could quickly kill him. Having sustained some injuries, if the adversary started to kill, he feared that he would be dispatched even more swiftly.
By then, he had also realized that the opponent had not continued to slaughter Qingshang Saint King and, moreover, it was very likely that both Qingshang Saint King and the Eastern Zhou Saint King had surrendered to him.
If so, he could also surrender to him, which was better than losing his life.
“I no longer need it,” Lin Yun, however, shook his head slightly and said.
He had spared the Eastern Zhou Saint King because he had been told of the location of a piece of Godhood and had promised to spare his life.
He had spared Qingshang Saint King because the latter was a Peak Saint King who could assist him if he ever entered the Spirit World.
Such individuals were not needed in great numbers, one Peak Saint King was enough.
Ordinarily, he would not mind taking him in. The Heavenly Principle Tower had the ability to subjugate other spirits and even Ghost Practitioners, turning them into his servants, incapable of betrayal.
In his Lingtian era, he used the Heavenly Principle Tower to subdue many powerful spirits, which he could send out whenever necessary.
A servant of superior Saint King level was also quite good.
In the future, he would certainly counterattack the New Gods, and perhaps they could be useful. Just like letting them assimilate ordinary pieces of Godhood to become Divine Realm Cultivators. Though ordinary Divine Realm Cultivators could hardly harm higher-level Divine Realm Cultivators,
but like ants gnawing an elephant to death, a large number of them may indeed cause harm to higher-level Divine Realm Cultivators.
However, he now urgently needed to enhance his strength, so he chose not to subdue him.
Allowing the Blood Prison Sword to absorb and refine the other’s power would be more helpful to him.
Once his power increased, would he worry about not being able to subjugate powerful spirits? Or Ghost Practitioners?
“Die!” Lin Yun said indifferently.
The next moment, the Blood Prison Sword transformed into a powerful surge of blood glow, slashing toward him.
Originally, this superior Saint King hesitated about whether he should surrender to Lin Yun. In his view, if Qingshang Saint King could surrender to him, if Eastern Zhou Saint King could surrender, then there should be no problem with his own surrender either.
However, with this surrender, he would no longer be free. Wandering the Spirit World and encountering familiar faces again, it might be embarrassing.
In the end, he persuaded himself to choose surrender.
Life, after all, was more important than pride.
Though he could choose to reincarnate, such a path was fraught with risks, even with man-made methods that allowed for strong control, the dangers were immense.
He did not want to resort to that unless it was absolutely necessary.
When he made this decision, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
However, he never imagined that he would be refused.
