His trip to the Spirit Universe this time might bring encounters with Divine Realm powerhouses, but it wasn’t certain to happen. By saving a bit of the Power of Time, as long as he didn’t face an overwhelmingly powerful Divine Realm adversary, he was confident in his ability to cope. At worst, he could flee. And if all else failed, it would just mean his demise.
His life’s Spirituality had connected with that Spirit Universe. As long as that universe was indestructible, he wouldn’t die.
He also had an alternative self in that Spirit Universe; even if his body here perished, he could condense another and it wouldn’t really matter.
The only concern was for the safety of Little Ear and Purple Cloud.
However, if he indeed encountered a Divine Realm powerhouse that could threaten his life, even a substantial reserve of the Power of Time might not be enough to overcome the threat, and Little Ear and Purple Cloud would still be in danger.
Certainty was never guaranteed, so he couldn’t always shrink back because of some unknowns.
Most importantly, even if Little Ear and Purple Cloud truly fell, they still had the chance for reincarnation and rebirth; all was not lost.
One slash… two slashes… ten slashes… a hundred slashes…
Indeed, as Lin Yun had anticipated, as time passed, the more of the Origin Force from the two worlds he assimilated, the harder it became to break through the forty-fifth New Layered Heaven.
After a hundred slashes, he had still not broken through.
However, the spatial barrier of the forty-fifth heaven was now more than half shattered by his blade.
A massive space crack flickered in and out of existence, ready to be completely torn open at any moment, and just as liable to disappear.
Below, on the forty-first New Layered Heaven.
“The forty-fifth heaven… I wonder if the Blood Emperor can break through…”
“The Blood Emperor once said he wanted to break through every heaven from the thirty-seventh to the forty-fifth. There must be some profound mystery behind it; the forty-fifth heaven is the last one…”
The Tri-Eyed Emperor watched the scene from afar, his heart filled with excitement and anticipation.
He, too, was eager to find out what changes would occur once the Blood Emperor shattered the forty-fifth heaven.
“A hundred slashes… It has been a hundred slashes… Previously, when the Blood Emperor broke through the previous heavens, he would only need up to two slashes per heaven. But now, even a hundred slashes have not done it,” the Tri-Eyed Emperor felt extremely tense inside.
“Three New Layered Heavens! The Blood Emperor has broken through three in succession!”
“Now, with the Blood Emperor attempting to break the forty-fifth heaven, it’s uncertain if he can accomplish it!”
As the New Layered Heavens expanded more and more, the connection between the New Heavens and the forty-first heaven became increasingly obvious. Many Ghost Practitioners of the forty-first heaven witnessed the changes above, exclaiming in shock.
…
“Break!!!”
Finally, after Lin Yun unleashed two hundred slashes, he roared furiously, unleashing a mighty Blood Sword attack, imbued with all but the last strand of the Power of Time.
Success or failure hung in the balance of this one strike!
He couldn’t delay any longer; if he did, he would lose his chance of success altogether!
“Boom—”
That semi-visible crack in space began to slowly widen with Lin Yun’s attack. Moments later, as if it was the last straw that broke the camel’s back, a thunderous bang resounded, and the entire spatial crack was fully opened.
The forty-fifth heaven was breached!
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Tremendous cosmic energy surged out en masse from the newly formed spatial crack.
“The forty-fifth heaven, finally broken!” Lin Yun exclaimed, exhilarated.
The plan succeeded; this time, he had consecutively shattered four New Layered Heavens of the Netherworld!
A small entire section, from the thirty-seventh to the forty-fifth heavens, had been demolished by him!
“Buzz—”
A mysterious energy was born from the universe, rapidly enveloping Lin Yun.
“Hmm? What’s this…” A thought stirred in Lin Yun’s mind as he recognized this mysterious energy. It was the Origin Force that descended from the two worlds after breaking through the forty-fifth heaven, but it comprised not only the Origin Force but also a miraculous power.
“Better assimilate it first…” Lin Yun thought to himself.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
He began to refine this mysterious energy wholeheartedly. And as he continued to assimilate it, his connection to the entire Netherworld became clearer. He felt the Netherworld strengthening his powers even more.
This empowerment was different from the specific enhancement he received from a single heaven’s power within the Netherworld; it was an overall empowerment from the Netherworld itself.
Indeed, a Ghost Practitioner who broke a heaven in the Netherworld was also one of the Children of Destiny of the Netherworld, and would feel this sense of overall empowerment, though it was so faint compared to the power boost of the specific heaven they had broken.
Now, this sensation had become distinctly clear.
It was almost as if Lin Yun had shattered another New Layered Heaven, and the significance of this overall empowerment was far greater than the power boost from any single heaven.
He felt that from now on, no matter how many heavens were broken in the Netherworld, or in which heaven he was, he would not be suppressed by the ruler of that particular heaven.
It might not seem significant at the moment, but if Lin Yun stopped breaking through new heavens in the Netherworld from this point on, the future would see more geniuses emerge, shattering even higher New Layered Heavens.
The fiftieth heaven, the sixtieth, or even the seventieth.
