NOVPUBChapter 1120: Chapter 935: A Bunch of Good-for-nothings!_2 Chapter 1120: Chapter 935: A Bunch of Good-for-nothings!_2 “Who… exactly are you?” Hearing Lin Yun’s words, Emperor Wu’s expression changed unpredictably before he finally spoke in a deep voice.
Looking at the other party’s age, he should be within a hundred years, but for a being within a hundred years to grow to this extent was too unbelievable. Even if the other party were a descendant of a Divine Realm powerhouse from the great Spirit world, it should not be so defying. Otherwise, Divine Realm powerhouses would have filled the skies of the Spirit world a long time ago, instead of being merely a legend.
He then heard the lengthy spans of time mentioned in the other party’s words.
A thought suddenly surged in his mind… perhaps the other party was not a normal being, but the reincarnation of an unparalleled powerhouse.
Moreover, hundreds of millions of years ago in the Spirit world, it was very likely that the other party had dealings with the forces of the Netherworld.
“Boy, do you really think there are no strong beings in the Netherworld? Your strength may be great, but if we join forces, you’ll probably be dead without a doubt!” On the other side, Emperor Proud snorted coldly and spoke solemnly.
He had seen the scene just now very clearly. Although the other’s killing was formidable, he believed much of it was because those ordinary Saint King Ghost Practitioners were caught off guard. Who would have guessed that a lower Saint King level Spirit would have such terrifying power?
He hadn’t expected it, and naturally, those ordinary Saint King Ghost Practitioners hadn’t either, and that’s why they were so severely injured in their haste!
This didn’t mean that this Spirit lad truly had the power to sweep through the Netherworld or truly had the right to speak such arrogant words!
He, Emperor Proud, alongside Emperor Wu and Tri-Eyed Emperor, counted among the high-ranking existences among the Nine Emperors, universally acknowledged as Invincible Saint Kings of the Netherworld. They were certainly not for show. If the three of them joined hands, he felt that even the Divine Realm powerhouses from the legends of the Spirit world would not be impossible to deal with!
A mere lower Saint King level Spirit, using some unknown means to possess such strength, could he really compete with the Divine Realm powerhouses from the legends of the Spirit world? Beings that enter the Netherworld carry original sin, so speaking such arrogant words now is simply seeking death!
The difference lay in how they, the top powers of the Netherworld, especially him and powers like Emperor Wu and Tri-Eyed Emperor, would join forces to deal with the other party and how they would distribute the spoils once the other party was killed.
You see, the biggest benefit on the other party wasn’t material wealth but the Origin Force from the Netherworld obtained by breaking through the three new layers of the Netherworld. This was not something easy to share.
“Dead without a doubt? Relying on you?” Lin Yun glanced at them and said.
Frankly speaking, during his time as the Blood Emperor, he broke through eight new layers, from the 19th Layered Heaven to the 26th Layered Heaven. After his cycle of reincarnations, another ten layers of the Netherworld were broken, from the 27th Layered Heaven to the 36th Layered Heaven.
In the intervening hundreds of millions of years the Spirit world had seen, the Upper Layered Heavens of the Netherworld had passed a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times more time. He had originally thought that the overall strength of the Netherworld would have far surpassed that of his previous life, and it should be very powerful now.
Even, there might have been born not just one but several powerhouses whose strengths surpassed his previous life’s, especially since, according to the information obtained from some Ghost Practitioners, many of the nine strongest Ghost Practitioners, the Nine Emperors, had already reached the level of Invincible Saint Kings.
Even, as the Blood Emperor among the Nine Emperors, he didn’t rank first.
Previously, the Netherworld just broke through to the 36th Layered Heaven, and the rules of heaven and earth restricted the birth of Divine Realm Cultivators. Invincible Saint Kings were considered the highest combat power, but there were differences even among Invincible Saint Kings.
He was an Invincible Saint King in his former life, but that didn’t necessarily mean he was a match for those current top combat powers among the Netherworld’s Invincible Saint Kings.
However, now, after seeing the aura released by the Lord of the 35th Layered Heaven and the Lord of the 34th Layered Heaven, he was proven to have been thinking too much before.
By their aura, the strengths of these two seemed to be even less than his in his past life.
Invincible Saint Kings? He guessed that it was probably due to a lack of experts in the Netherworld and a shortage of Peak Saint Kings that they had gained the reputation of Invincible Saint Kings. Take, for instance, several Invincible Saint King Spirits that he had encountered in his Spirit universe recently; all were stronger than these two.
As for the Lord of the 36th Layered Heaven who had yet to make a move, he estimated that their strength wouldn’t be much higher.
Now, his strength was comparable to his former life, and having become the Lord of the 37th Layered Heaven, the 38th Layered Heaven, and the 39th Layered Heaven, he naturally would no longer fear these Ghost Practitioners.
Even if all these Ghost Practitioners joined forces, he could easily leave if he couldn’t defeat them.
So, his current manner of speaking truly came from a position of confidence.
“Emperor Wu, Tri-Eyed Emperor, gentlemen, let’s strike together and, after slaying this Spirit, the Origin Force of the Netherworld he carries will be divided among us! The more effort one contributes, the more they’ll receive; the less effort, the less they get. I, Ao Long, swear here to uphold fairness, or else, may my path to the great Dao be severed!” Emperor Proud swept his gaze across the Ghost Practitioners present, and pronounced each word. 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
As he spoke, an aura surged skyward and dispersed – the recognized procedure for a Netherworld Ghost Practitioner’s oath, whether it was useful or not, it was more credible to everyone.
Hearing Emperor Proud’s words, the complexions of many powerful Ghost Practitioners changed, and their hearts stirred.
That Origin Force of the Netherworld was something the Spirit had obtained after breaking through to the 37th Layered Heaven, 38th Layered Heaven, and 39th Layered Heaven. If they could acquire some of it, would that mean they could become the Minor Lords of the 37th Layered Heaven, 38th Layered Heaven, and 39th Layered Heaven of the Netherworld, existing as the Minor Lords and fated children of the Netherworld?
