Huh!
The next moment, Lin Yun’s body began to emit a distinctly different soul aura.
It was indeed the soul aura from his previous life as the Blood Emperor.
“Is this… the soul aura of the Blood Emperor?”
“This is the soul aura of the Blood Emperor! I have seen the Blood Emperor before, this is indeed his soul aura! He really is the Blood Emperor!”
“I said it, who else but the Blood Emperor could break through several layers of the Netherworld in New Layered Heaven in succession? Indeed! Just as I thought!”
Seeing this scene, many distant spectating Ghost Practitioners felt the change in Lin Yun’s soul aura and excitedly exclaimed, this time with even more excitement than before.
This kind of soul aura was truly genuine, impossible to fake.
Perhaps, only the reincarnated soul of the Blood Emperor could release such a soul aura.
Indeed, he really was the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor.
“We pay our respects to Lord Blood Emperor!”
“We pay our respects to Lord Blood Emperor!”
When one Ghost Practitioner started to pay homage again, other Ghost Practitioners followed suit, and soon, a deafening roar ensued, this time with an even stronger momentum.
“He… he really is the Blood Emperor…”
“It’s best to stop hoping for anything else…”
Even Emperor Wu and Emperor Proud, upon witnessing this scene, were stunned, and finally sighed bitterly in their hearts.
At this point, if they still hadn’t realized, they would truly be too foolish.
This was the real tide of power.
Under such a tide, they simply couldn’t go against the current, so the only choice left was to go with it, and even, to seek the greatest benefit and protection while doing so.
These were their true thoughts.
“No… it can’t be…”
“How can your strength be so formidable… how can you stop my Talent Divine Power from being unleashed…”
In the distance, the Toad King, whose soul had been shattered by Lin Yun’s move, uttered vibrating sounds of disbelief.
His first reaction was still to doubt Lin Yun’s strength, rather than Lin Yun’s identity.
“In this world, there is nothing impossible. My identity is not a secret, nor is it anything great, but you are in no position to provoke or covet it…” Lin Yun said slowly, looking at the countless soul fragments before him.
In the Thirty-Seventh Layered Heaven, he could use the power of space, of which he was confident that even if the opponent kept using Talent Divine Power, they couldn’t escape, but there was no need.
In his life as a prince of the Divine Clan, he had seen many kinds of Talent Divine Power. This kind of spatial Talent Divine Power was not considered very advanced, and he had ways to break through such powers, provided he was strong enough.
Fortunately, his strength coupled with his control over spatial power in the Thirty-Seventh Layered Heaven allowed him to do this, so he broke the opponent’s Talent Divine Power with ease and dealt with him even more simply.
“Hum!”
The next moment, the Blood Prison Sword hovering behind Lin Yun soared into the sky before plunging into the soul fragments with a deafening sound. A terrifying attraction immediately enveloped the soul fragments, rapidly pulling and refining them.
“No! No! Have mercy, Lord Blood Emperor, have mercy… I was wrong… the Toad was wrong…” At that moment, the voice of the Toad King became filled with incredible fear as he hastily pleaded for mercy.
Should Lin Yun’s Blood Prison Sword completely absorb and refine his soul force, he would truly die.
He didn’t know if he would have another chance at reincarnation, but even if he could, the power he had spent a lifetime cultivating, which had already reached the pinnacle of the Netherworld, would be totally annihilated.
Even if he were reborn, whether he could awaken his potential in the future was unknown.
This was absolutely not what he wanted.
Not every Cultivator has the courage to face reincarnation.
However, Lin Yun was indifferent and didn’t heed his pleas, simply allowing the Blood Prison Sword to continue absorbing and refining the Toad King’s soul force.
The soul force and life essence of a Peak Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner, as well as their talents and more, would all provide significant benefits to the Blood Prison Sword once absorbed and refined; Lin Yun had no reason to spare him.
“No! I can’t accept this! I can’t stand it! I hardly reached the Peak Saint King Realm, I am one of the strongest Ghost Practitioners in the Netherworld, and I might even break through the new layers of the Netherworld in the future…”
“`
The Blood Prison Sword absorbed and refined the Toad King’s soul power at a rapid pace, and soon, only a very small part of the Toad King’s soul power remained. As the process neared its end, the speed at which the Blood Prison Sword absorbed and refined soul power increased even further. Not a single Ghost Practitioner came to his rescue; all Ghost Practitioners were paying respectful homage to Lin Yun, as the Toad King let out a roar of complete despair.
At this moment, he was filled with immense regret.
Just as he said, he had cultivated with great difficulty to the realm of a Peak Saint King, and Ghost Practitioners who were Peak Saint Kings were extremely rare in the Netherworld. Combined with his not insignificant Talent Divine Power, he had simply not displayed his true strength earlier. Had he done so, being listed as one of the Nine Emperors was not impossible.
At that time, he would have been one of the nine strongest Ghost Practitioners in the Netherworld, truthfully. Except for the newly emerged Blood Emperor, he would not fear any of the other Nine Emperors.
Truly, he would have reigned supreme over countless Ghost Practitioners, second only to one.
Moreover, with the Blood Emperor, who had reincarnated and returned, breaking through four new layers of the Netherworld successively, the environment of the Netherworld would rapidly improve, at least ten times better than before.
The birth of new Layered Heavens might also give rise to various new opportunities.
At that time, with his strength, how could he not progress much faster? Even breaking through a new layer of the Netherworld was not impossible!
His future was boundless!
Now, all of that was gone, and his life was about to be thrown away!
How could he not regret? The regret was practically bleeding from his heart!
All of this was because he was too greedy, leading to such an outcome!
If he had not coveted the Origin Force on Lin Yun’s body, if he had not coveted the Blood Sword in Lin Yun’s hand, would he have fallen to this state?
But, there is no medicine for regret in this world, and no matter how much he regretted, it was too late!
As the Blood Prison Sword continued to absorb and refine the soul power of the Toad King, his capacity for thought rapidly diminished, and soon, his thoughts fell into darkness, as all his soul power collapsed and was swept away by the Blood Prison Sword.
A Peak Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner had thus fallen!
Seeing this scene, the Ghost Practitioners in the distance trembled in their hearts.
The Blood Emperor truly lived up to his name, decisive in killing; a Peak Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner was killed just like that.
However, none of the stronger Ghost Practitioners felt sympathy for the Toad King.
The tallest tree catches the most wind, and if you dare to stand out first, you should be prepared to take risks.
All the Ghost Practitioners had recognized the identity of the Blood Emperor, yet you dared to cause trouble. Who did you think the Blood Emperor was? Someone you could provoke with impunity?
It was perhaps understandable when they did not know the identity of the Blood Emperor before.
But knowing it and still daring to provoke him, back then, those who dared to provoke the Blood Emperor, many met their deaths!
Since you, the Toad King, dared to come forth and provoke, you should have been ready to die!
Now, the Toad King indeed met his death!
It can only be said, he brought it upon himself!
Having slain the Toad King, Lin Yun took a step towards the border of the 37th to the 40th Layered Heavens, which had just been broken through, and swept his gaze once more over the Ghost Practitioners.
“I’ve come to the Netherworld to attend to matters and wish for no trouble. If you seek to cause difficulty, then do not blame me for being impolite to you!” Lin Yun said indifferently.
While speaking, Lin Yun’s gaze lingered on Emperor Wu and Emperor Proud for a moment.
His powerful sensing ability in the space of the 37th Layered Heaven, though not able to discern Emperor Wu’s and Emperor Proud’s specific thoughts, allowed him to grasp their general intentions.
How could he not be aware of the ill thoughts these two Ghost Practitioner powerhouses had previously harbored in their hearts?
However, now, these ill thoughts had disappeared, which was the reason he did not continue to pursue the matter. Otherwise, he would not have stopped at merely not killing these two Ghost Practitioners; he certainly wouldn’t have let them off lightly.
Whether incapacitating them or using the Heavenly Principle Tower to subdue them, either was an option.
For now, let’s leave it at that, but a small warning was unavoidable.
“You may leave now!”
Lin Yun left them with these words.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Lin Yun turned and took a step into the newly opened space of the 40th Layered Heaven.
