NOVPUBChapter 1145: Chapter 946: Heaven Punishes Deeds, Not Thoughts Chapter 1145: Chapter 946: Heaven Punishes Deeds, Not Thoughts Seeing the Tri-Eyed Emperor speak so politely, Lin Yun slightly furrowed his brows, but then he didn’t dwell on the matter and directly asked, “You should know that when a cultivator breaks through a new layer of heaven in a world, the difficulty of breaking through the next layer increases significantly! If a cultivator skips some layers before breaking through a new one, what should be done?”
“Lord Blood Emperor is unaware?” The Tri-Eyed Emperor asked in surprise upon hearing Lin Yun’s words.
“Unaware of what?” Lin Yun’s interest was piqued by the Tri-Eyed Emperor’s tone, and he asked.
“Ah…” The realization only then dawned on the Tri-Eyed Emperor that he had forgotten that during the time the Blood Emperor had been absent, many high-level Ghost Practitioners in the Netherworld believed that Lord Blood Emperor was lying low, waiting to break through new layers of heaven after skipping some. Naturally, in the eyes of these high-level Ghost Practitioners, the Blood Emperor must be aware, and even firmly convinced of this rule.
Subconsciously, he also assumed that Lord Blood Emperor had known about this already.
In his view, with such terrifying and defying strength, the Blood Emperor should be omniscient.
Only now did he remember that the Blood Emperor might not have been lying low during his absence but possibly had entered the cycle of reincarnation instead.
“Lord Blood Emperor, please forgive my momentary confusion. This rule is actually just speculation among many Ghost Practitioners and not certain. I had originally thought that you would be aware of it, which is why you had not appeared for so long…” The Tri-Eyed Emperor said with a wry smile.
At this point, it struck the Tri-Eyed Emperor—is it possible that the Blood Emperor had thought of using another method to solve this issue? Like… the power of reincarnation!
Reincarnation Power is a miraculous force that can cleanse many imprints from a spirit’s life. Although it exists in the Netherworld, even the top Ghost Practitioners from the Netherworld can’t control this Reincarnation Power, they can only make simple use of it!
Back then, the Blood Emperor had broken through eight new layers of heaven in succession. The difficulty of breaking through yet another layer was undoubtedly immense. So, could it be that the Blood Emperor had contemplated utilizing the Reincarnation Power to wash away this repulsive force?
It wasn’t impossible—the Blood Emperor’s strength had already far surpassed other Ghost Practitioners in the Netherworld, and even in the greater Spirit World, aside from the legendary strong ones in the Divine Realm, very few could pose a threat to the Blood Emperor. Who then could have caused his downfall?
Unless the Blood Emperor himself had willingly entered the cycle of reincarnation!
But if that were the case… then the Blood Emperor’s daring was immense!
The Reincarnation Power is not something anyone would dare to tamper with lightly. One misstep, and one could be permanently lost!
Thinking this, the Tri-Eyed Emperor involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air.
It seemed that there was a reason the Blood Emperor possessed such formidable power today!
However, now that the Blood Emperor had successfully returned, it is like a cloud had lifted to reveal the moon; possessing such terrifying strength in the realm of an intermediate Saint King, what would it be like if the Blood Emperor broke through a few more levels?
Not to mention, the Blood Emperor is now a spirit in form, and his strength is probably suppressed in the Netherworld. If he were in the Spirit World, his power would likely be even more terrifying, similar to the information he had obtained from Frubor?
At the intermediate Saint Lord Realm, one possesses the strength to not fear the invincible Peak Saint King or the mighty Peak Saint Kings of the Spirit World. Now, if in the Spirit World, how terrifying would the Blood Emperor’s strength be? And if he advanced to the Peak Saint King Realm, how much more frightening would it become?
Perhaps, even facing the legendary strong ones of the Divine Realm in the Spirit World would not be a cause for fear!
The Tri-Eyed Emperor thought to himself, and with these thoughts, his heart was filled with growing shock!
Thankfully, the Blood Emperor had once been a Ghost Practitioner and still remembered the bonds among them. Otherwise, with the Blood Emperor’s current strength in the Netherworld, if he decided to treat the entire Netherworld as a “breeding ground,” wouldn’t it be an easy feat?
Ghost Practitioners and spirits are naturally opposed, using each other as “nourishment” for cultivation is a common occurrence!
Wait, cultivation…?
At this moment, when the Tri-Eyed Emperor arrived at this thought, his face suddenly turned deathly pale!
Was the Blood Emperor keeping them here to cultivate, intending to raise them as nourishment?
Otherwise, why did the Blood Emperor suddenly ask them to stay?
With this thought, a wave of panic began to rise within the Tri-Eyed Emperor.
These two months, his strength had indeed improved not insignificantly, but situated at the core of the world’s forces, the Blood Emperor’s strength had probably improved even more. If the Blood Emperor decided to strike him, he feared he wouldn’t stand a chance.
If the Blood Emperor really intended to use them as “nourishment,” they likely had no escape.
As for why the Blood Emperor had asked Emperor Wu, Emperor Proud, and the others to leave earlier without cultivating “more” of them—this could explain it: perhaps he was worried about cultivating too many strong Ghost Practitioners who, if they became too powerful, would be hard to control?
And as for why he kept them? That too could be explained! On the surface, they each had their own reasons for being favored by the Blood Emperor, leaving them behind wouldn’t make the other Ghost Practitioners too suspicious!
In this way, the Blood Emperor could slaughter them without alarming the others… the more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, and the more he thought, the more frightened the Tri-Eyed Emperor became, his body’s powerful energy starting to circulate rapidly.
“Hmm?” Lin Yun naturally felt the change in the Tri-Eyed Emperor and looked at him inquisitively. He couldn’t understand why, after merely asking a question and receiving an answer, the Tri-Eyed Emperor would undergo such a drastic change.
