Chapter 1091: Chapter 924: Blood Fiend Saint Lord, Shocking News! Chapter 1091: Chapter 924: Blood Fiend Saint Lord, Shocking News! “After a cultivator breaks through the last three realms of a universe, is it really that terrifying…”
“Or is it because his strength is so terrifying that he broke through the last three realms of this universe…”
Qingshang Saint King said softly with a complex expression on his face.
Perhaps it was a bit of both.
In the outside world, it was extremely rare for anyone to break through the last two of the three realms in a universe—rarer even than an Invincible Saint King.
As for breaking all three of the last realms of a universe, he had never heard of anyone accomplishing that.
He thought that anyone who could do so would definitely not be an ordinary genius.
The human youth before him met the criteria.
Otherwise, he couldn’t imagine what kind of genius could achieve this feat.
“Invincible Saint King… Speaking of Invincible Saint Kings, now that he has broken through to the Saint Lord Realm, he must possess strength comparable to an Invincible Saint King, right? At the very least, within this universe, he has the power to battle an Invincible Saint King, and if there is a difference, it can’t be much. As long as he doesn’t leave this universe, there should be almost no cultivators in the Saint King Realm who could threaten him…”
Qingshang Saint King paused, murmuring to himself.
Outside.
Many cultivators surrounded the universe where Lin Yun was situated, all seemingly eager to act.
“What could possibly be the reason for these high-tier Saint Kings to enter this spirit universe in such large numbers…” 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
“What kind of fortuitous encounter exists in this newly opened spirit universe?”
“Even if there’s some great fortune to be had, they must have obtained it by now, right? If we go now, we should be fine, shouldn’t we?”
“Shall we go in and see? If there really is a great fortune, perhaps they are so entangled with it that they don’t have the time or energy to concern themselves with us…”
“Perhaps the fortune within this spirit universe is significant, and even those high-tier Saint Kings can’t monopolize it all. If we enter now, we can still share in the spoils. If we wait too long, it might be a different story!”
“I heard that this spirit universe is connected to the Netherworld…”
Cultivators whispered to each other, exchanging their intelligence. Some had more reliable information, which came from the Saint Lord cultivator who had escaped earlier. However, since he hadn’t re-entered himself, the others were unsure about the veracity of these claims.
The fact that a spirit universe was connected to the Netherworld was indeed a significant opportunity, but it wasn’t something to hurry towards since the situation on the Netherworld side was unknown to all.
If some top-tier cultivators went in first to scout, it wouldn’t be a bad idea.
If there were top-tier Ghost Practitioners in the Netherworld, those top-tier cultivators could make a move against them or even slay them. The remaining lower-strength Ghost Practitioners would likely be ignored by the top-tier cultivators, leaving them as potential gains for those who entered afterward.
“Boom—”
Just then, three powerful auras burst forth from the spirit universe and, without pausing, continued to fly rapidly in the direction away from the spirit universe, with extreme speed.
“What is that?”
“What’s happened?”
“Those three auras, could they be… from among the Saint King powerhouses that entered earlier?”
“It’s Butcher Saint King! Obsidian Saint King! Jiudu Saint King!”
As the three powerful auras surged out of the spirit universe and hastened away, the cultivators on the outside expressed their shock. Some powerful cultivators recognized the identities behind these impressive auras.
Butcher Saint King, a peak-level powerhouse in the Saint King Realm, lived up to his name by often wiping out entire families and clans in a rage. However, his monumental talent and formidable strength, coupled with his shrewdness to avoid provoking cultivators much stronger than him, had kept him unscathed thus far. His notoriety also resonated throughout the entire world of spirits.
Obsidian Saint King and Jiudu Saint King were also peak-level powerhouses in the Saint King Realm, each with fearsome reputations.
Yet, why were these three imposing mid-tier Saint Kings now in such “haste”?
To say they were “hasty” was putting it mildly. If one were to take a less charitable view, it seemed more like… a frantic escape?
“What’s going on? What could have possibly happened inside that spirit universe?”
“What about the other Saint Kings? Qingshang Saint King is a Peak Saint King, and Returning Crow Saint King, Lingyu Saint King are upper-tier Saint Kings… Could it be that they’ve encountered a tremendously powerful enemy inside? Are Qingshang Saint King and the others defending against those enemies, prompting Butcher Saint King and his group, being weaker, to retreat first?”
“What kind of formidable enemy could cause three mid-tier Saint Kings to flee in such disarray and necessitate the likes of Qingshang Saint King, Returning Crow Saint King, and other peak and high-tier Saint Kings, to cover their escape?”
Some cultivators inhaled sharply with awe.
“Could it be an Invincible Saint King?”
“This universe is connected to the Netherworld, could it be that the top echelon of the Netherworld has launched an attack, just like… the Netherworld’s Blood Emperor, who can battle three Peak Saint Kings alone? If it is the Netherworld’s Blood Emperor who has come over, even Qingshang Saint King and the Returning Crow Saint King might not be his match…”
Some cultivators speculated wildly.
“Lucky we didn’t go in. Whatever caused those three mid-tier Saint Kings to flee would have been certain death for us if we’d gone in. Even a slight involvement could mean we’d end up with nowhere to bury our bodies…”
