Chapter 1175: Chapter 960: What is called the height of the sky, what is called the thickness of the earth! Chapter 1175: Chapter 960: What is called the height of the sky, what is called the thickness of the earth! “`
“Oh no!” Seeing Lin Yun like this, Xiao Chong couldn’t help but bitterly smile in his heart.
“`
“`
In the end, they had failed to prevent it, and Lin Yun actually said such words to Lord Yama, which was almost the same as a direct challenge.
“`
“`
As weak as they were, challenging such a powerful being, what other outcome could there be? Death, effortlessly achieved!
“`
“`
Well, after all, they had been in a precarious situation this time, with a one in ten chance of surviving. Being able to meet Lin Yun, their good friend from when they were alive, was enough to dispel one of their greatest regrets before death. n𝚘𝚟𝚙u𝚋.co𝚖
“`
“`
Xiao Chong sighed in his heart.
“`
“`
Thinking thus, Xiao Chong exchanged a glance with Emma White, their expressions devoid of significant regret, evincing instead a sense of resignation.
“`
“`
Even including their lives before death, they had lived for countless years. The varieties of trials and adventures had long prepared them for death, especially since they had spent such a long time in the legendary Netherworld after dying. It could actually be considered a bonus.
“`
“`
Though their time in the Netherworld was difficult, they had been true to themselves and depended on each other for survival, experiencing the mindsets of the insignificant beings which they hadn’t for a long time before their deaths. It all held extraordinary significance; their lives were without regrets.
“`
“`
If there were any regrets, it would be the waste of Lin Yun’s talent.
“`
“`
This was Xiao Chong’s biggest regret at the moment. Lin Yun was undoubtedly the most talented cultivator he had ever seen, both in life and in death. Alas, it seemed that Lin Yun might not have any more time to continue growing.
“`
“`
Otherwise, Lin Yun would undoubtedly have a boundless future.
“`
“`
Xiao Chong did not harbor any resentment towards Lin Yun. Both he and Emma White were already in a desperate plight, and besides, Lin Yun had stood up for them. If it hadn’t been for them, Lin Yun would not have fallen into such peril.
“`
“`
If they owed anyone, it was they who owed Lin Yun a huge debt of gratitude, both in life and in death. How could he and Emma White blame him? What’s more, given the depth of their friendship, how could there even be talk of who owed whom?
“`
“`
It wasn’t that Xiao Chong didn’t believe in Lin Yun’s strength, but after learning about many aspects of the Netherworld, he was genuinely daunted. He and Emma White had only recently entered the Netherworld, and even if Lin Yun had entered the Netherworld right after them, how much time had he really had?
“`
“`
The difference in the flow of time between the Netherworld and the Spirit World was enormous. The top powers of the Netherworld were cultivators who had cultivated for hundreds of billions, thousands of billions, or even tens of thousands of billions of years. Even a pig would become extremely powerful after cultivating for that many years!
“`
“`
Moreover, those who could become top powers in the Netherworld were without exception super geniuses of incredible talent. They didn’t come from just one Spirit World but from countless ones. Add in the innate Ghost Practitioners born within the Netherworld itself, and the talent was truly stunning.
“`
“`
In his eyes, it was already impressive that Lin Yun, in such a short amount of time, possessed the power to utterly annihilate the Ghost Practitioner they had just encountered. It was absolutely impossible for him to be the match of a top power in the Netherworld!
“`
“`
That was common sense.
“`
“`
To have faith in a friend was one thing, but blind faith was quite another. Otherwise, he would be a fool.
“`
“`
“Interesting…” The young man looked at Lin Yun, who appeared indifferent, with a hooked corner of his mouth, savoring the moment.
“`
“`
He didn’t sense any aura from Lin Yun, but neither did he find this particularly surprising. The Netherworld was connected to countless Spirit Worlds, and the souls of all kinds of spirit races could enter.
“`
“`
Among them, there could be some special races that were able to conceal their auras, and after death, even bring some of their abilities to the Netherworld.
“`
“`
To the young man, Lin Yun might very well be one such case.
“`
“`
The auras of Xiao Chong and Emma White were clearly perceptible to him: innate souls who had just become Ghost Practitioners, and even the strong scent of Reincarnation River lingered on both, showing they had recently left the Reincarnation River.
“`
“`
Based on what Xiao Chong had said, the young man concluded that the teenager was a soul who had recently entered the Netherworld, one with decent talent and some special capabilities.
“`
“`
“Submit to me, and I can take you to see a wider world, letting you know that I, Lord Yama, am even more majestic than you can imagine,” the young man said with a faint smile after taking a deep look at Lin Yun.
“`
“`
A Ghost Practitioner with the ability to conceal his aura and possessing decent talent was indeed worth subjugating. With a bit of cultivation, he could potentially become a capable subordinate in the future. This was what the young man was thinking at the moment.
“`
“`
Lin Yun’s challenge did not anger him. Would a peerless strong person care about the challenge from an ant? Not all would, but most would not!
“`
“`
Certainly, in his eyes, Lin Yun was no different from an ant. A newly entered innate soul in the Netherworld might be strong, but how strong could he get?
“`
“`
Since Lin Yun had consecutively broken through to the forty-fifth Layer of New Layered Heaven in the Netherworld, a new minor Layered Heaven had been completely undone by him, and many mysterious forces had been birthed from the void and refined by him. The power of the entire Netherworld bestowed him a great enhancement.
“`
“`
This not only enabled Lin Yun to conceal his aura even more perfectly but also to wield some powers in the Netherworld more freely. He could say he used just enough power to annihilate a Ghost Practitioner, without a bit of excess.
“`
“`
At this moment, Lin Yun had not revealed too much of his power.
“`
“`
As a result, Lord Yama was not able to sense just how strong Lin Yun really was. Otherwise, had even a trace of Lin Yun’s aura leaked, he certainly would not have had such a mindset.
“`
“`
“What?”
“`
“`
Upon hearing the young man’s words, the surrounding Ghost Practitioners were greatly shocked.
“`
“`
“Lord Yama, is actually asking for his submission?”
