NOVPUBChapter 1090: Chapter 923 Conclusion_2 Chapter 1090: Chapter 923 Conclusion_2 However, on the other side, a figure was rapidly flickering—it was the same human youth who had been facing them just now!
In this universe, could there be two of the opponent at the same time?
“Not twins, the aura of the two, it seems to be the same person, no, it seems a bit different…”
“A puppet? But the spirit’s aura is so lifelike…”
“It seems to be at the Saint Lord Realm… To possess such terrifying power at the Saint Lord Realm… So far, the only strong person we’ve seen who could do this is that human youth, and he did it by leveraging the various powers of this universe… It’s unlikely for a universe to have two such freaks…”
“Could it be a substitute technique? They exchanged places…”
For a time, those Saint Kings were all at a loss as to what was happening.
But no doubt, it was also a means of that human youth, which made them even more fearful of his methods. 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
“Buzz! Buzz!”
The remaining three Saint Kings, who had originally removed the defensive layers around them, upon seeing this scene, all quickly put them back up and flew towards the universe boundary with all their might.
“Quick! Quick! Just a bit more, just a little bit more…”
One Saint King gritted his teeth and muttered.
“Boom~ Boom~ Boom~”
At the same time, Lin Yun continued to attack the mid-level Saint King relentlessly.
“Hm?”
“It seems that the human youth’s power has weakened. Each attack carries away much less life force than before…”
“Wrong, he doesn’t have the Blood Sword…”
“It appears that the youth in black is him, yet not him… but he can still mobilize the universe’s power, is at the same Saint Lord Realm, and possesses the power to kill a mid-level Saint King… What kind of technique is this…”
In the core of the universe, Qingshang Saint King’s pupils slightly contracted as he murmured to himself.
This scene, what exactly was going on, he was also a bit unclear.
The only certainty was that the youth in black seemed to be some sort of clone of that human youth.
Clone.
They, such strong cultivators, were not incapable of creating one, but mostly, it was just ordinary clones that were difficult to produce with substantial strength.
Not to mention, a clone at mere Saint Lord Realm that could kill a mid-level Saint King and mobilize such vast powers of the universe, just like the original body.
In his heart, he grew even more wary of this human youth.
It seemed that the human youth he served was even more extraordinary than he had imagined.
Qingshang Saint King thought to himself.
Whoosh!
Soon, Lin Yun’s original body arrived beside that mid-level Saint King, just as the clone in black had once again exploded the body of that mid-level Saint King.
“Indeed, without the Blood Prison Sword, even if the clone could utilize the vast power of this universe, it lacks the means to swiftly diminish the enemy’s life force…”
Lin Yun inwardly sighed.
This Lin Yun in black was indeed the clone he had cultivated in the source space of this universe. Although this clone’s strength was not too strong, once it harnessed the various forces of the universe, it could exert considerable power.
Plus the power amplification from Heavenly Principle Tower, it was more than capable of confronting a mid-level Saint King.
However, without the Blood Prison Sword, this clone did not have the means to quickly weaken an enemy’s life force. Using the Blood Prison Sword, his true self could kill a mid-level Saint King in a dozen or so moves.
His clone would probably need a hundred or two hundred moves to do the same.
In fact, to kill a mid-level Saint King in a hundred or two hundred moves was already quite formidable.
For cultivators like them, a hundred or two hundred moves was merely the time of two or three breaths.
The vitality of a Saint King is immensely strong; they are easy to injure but extremely difficult to kill. It’s thanks to Lin Yun’s avatar, which can mobilize the cosmic powers, that he is able to annihilate a mid-level Saint King in such a short time.
The power of a cosmos is very mysterious, containing energies that can rapidly annihilate enemies.
If outside, with the same power, Lin Yun estimated that it would take at least five to six hundred moves to kill a mid-level Saint King.
A dozen or twenty moves compared to five or six hundred moves—the difference is not small. Moreover, with the number of opponents being substantial and their ability to assist each other, he wouldn’t even think about killing any of them.
Similarly, even if Lin Yun’s main body possessed the Blood Prison Sword, with the same power in the outside world, he would need fifty to sixty moves to kill a mid-level Saint King.
Not to mention, if Lin Yun were in the outside world without the assistance of the cosmic powers, his strength would be greatly reduced. At that time, facing these seven Saint Kings, he would probably have to flee immediately, as he would not be their match.
Therefore, as the “spokesperson” for this cosmos, the help it provided to him was actually immense.
“Boom! Boom!”
With this in mind, Lin Yun’s main body used the Blood Prison Sword and quickly struck at the mid-level Saint King. In just over a dozen moves, he completely annihilated the Saint King, ignoring any pleas for mercy.
In the distance, the remaining three mid-level Saint Kings were also about to pass through the boundary wall of this cosmos.
Lin Yun didn’t pay them any attention and closed his eyes.
“Hum——”
The Blood Prison Sword in Lin Yun’s hand trembled rapidly, and a surge of strong, pure power flowed from the blade into Lin Yun’s body. His aura quickly increased, soon reaching a critical point and beginning to plateau.
Having consecutively slain two superior Saint Kings and one mid-level Saint King, and previously having killed the White Emperor of the Netherworld, absorbed a substantial amount of power from both the superior Saint King of the Eastern Zhou and the Peak Saint King Qingshang, his strength had been greatly enhanced.
Finally, the power within Lin Yun’s body reached the critical point between mid-level and superior Saint Lord Realm.
This was without Lin Yun absorbing much of the energy harvested by the Blood Prison Sword, as most of that power went to healing the damage sustained by the Blood Prison Sword itself during Lin Yun’s era as the Blood Emperor.
Otherwise, after dealing with the Saint King of Eastern Zhou, Lin Yun might have been able to promote his realm to superior Saint Lord Realm.
Even though the Blood Prison Sword’s powers were heaven-defying, it had suffered extensive damage, and without absorbing a large amount of energy for recovery, it would not have been easy for Lin Yun to use it so freely against seven strong Saint Kings.
Even then, it was a close call, and for most of the time, Lin Yun had to restrain his use of the sword, only allowing himself some leeway towards the latter part of the battle.
If Lin Yun had absorbed and refined the large amount of energy the Blood Prison Sword had just harvested, he might have even hoped to break through to the Saint King Realm. However, he was not in a rush to do so.
As the injuries of the Blood Prison Sword healed, it too could enhance his strength.
Now, with the Blood Prison Sword’s strength largely restored and the battle over, Lin Yun felt secure to absorb and refine the power within the Blood Prison Sword and attempt to breakthrough to superior Saint Lord Realm.
In his past three lives, whether as the Crown Prince of the Divine Clan, the era of the Blood Emperor, or his time as Lingtian, his weakest strength had been mid-level Saint King Realm; now he was merely breaking through from mid-level to superior Saint Lord Realm.
Lin Yun didn’t even consider this realm noteworthy.
“Boom——”
Just minutes later, Lin Yun’s aura shattered the bottleneck and began to soar.
Lin Yun smoothly broke through to the superior Saint Lord Realm!
“Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!”
Lin Yun’s entire being’s aura shot straight into the sky!
“Has he broken through to the superior Saint Lord Realm?”
At the core of the cosmos, Peak Saint King Qingshang witnessed the scene and murmured in slight shock.
Previously, he had some doubts whether the other party was really just at the mid-level Saint Lord Realm, but seeing this magnificent realm aura, he completely dismissed his skepticism.
When breaking through, various auras radiate, some of which are difficult to conceal. Indeed, the other party was truly at the mid-level Saint Lord Realm.
A human youth at the mid-level Saint Lord Realm had managed to slay their group of senior Saint Kings, leaving some dead and others injured, with only the three weakest Saint Kings managing to escape, two of them severely wounded, a truly pitiful scenario.
Had it been before, he would have never believed it.
But the fact had taken place right before his eyes, had happened to him, leaving him with no choice but to believe, even him, a Peak Saint Lord, had fallen at the hands of this youth.
