NOVPUBChapter 1184: 963 Chapter: Return_2 Chapter 1184: 963 Chapter: Return_2 Therefore, seeing that there was no one behind Lin Yun, their feelings became complicated, not knowing whether to feel relieved, lost, or worried.
“Lin Yun… your strength…” Compared to that, the True Martial Saint Lord paid attention to Lin Yun’s strength, and his expression changed as he spoke with slight shock.
It wasn’t that Lin Yun showed an incredibly powerful aura, but rather the aura emanating from him now, compared to a few days ago, was vastly different. A few days ago, Lin Yun’s aura was somewhat sharp and exposed. Now, Lin Yun’s aura was much more restrained, but such a drastic change made the True Martial Saint Lord feel very abnormal. He had a feeling that Lin Yun’s strength had increased tremendously.
This was only a feeling, but it was very strong.
“These past few days, I went to the Netherworld and broke through several layers of New Layered Heaven there, and I trained for about a thousand years. Now, my strength has broken through to the Peak Saint King Realm…” Lin Yun said with a slight smile.
There was no need to hide, nor any necessity to conceal the truth. Many powerful Ghost Practitioners in the Netherworld already knew of these matters. The upsets caused in the Netherworld were earth-shattering, and he believed that it wouldn’t be long before the news would spread to the Spirit World.
“What?” The True Martial Saint Lord was greatly surprised and nearly bit off his own tongue.
When Lin Yun left, he was only at the Upper Saint Lord Realm. How many days had it been? Lin Yun had now broken through to the Peak Saint King Realm! This… was incredibly terrifying, wasn’t it?
“What? Brother has now reached the Peak Saint King Realm?”
“Peak Saint King Realm?”
“Not the Peak Saint Lord Realm?”
Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, and the others, upon hearing Lin Yun’s words, were also shocked and incredulous.
“Wait, you said you trained for about a thousand years in the Netherworld?” Soon, the True Martial Saint Lord picked up on a piece of information in Lin Yun’s words and couldn’t help but frown slightly.
“The flow of time in the Netherworld differs from that of the Spirit World. On this trip to the Netherworld, I broke through from the thirty-seventh to the forty-fifth layer of New Layered Heaven. There, the flow of time is a hundred thousand times faster than in the Spirit World, with one day being equivalent to over three hundred years in the Spirit World!” Lin Yun nodded slightly as he explained.
“A difference of a hundred thousand times in the flow of time, one day equivalent to over three hundred years in the Spirit World…”
“Broke through from the thirty-seventh to the forty-fifth layer of New Layered Heaven…”
Listening to Lin Yun recount these bits of information, everyone was shocked again and again. It had to be said that each piece of information Lin Yun provided was stunning.
They were unclear about how difficult it was to break through the new layers of the Netherworld, but considering that the Netherworld had existed for countless eons, and the flow of time there greatly exceeded that of the Spirit World, the Ghost Practitioners of the Netherworld must have trained for an unimaginable number of years.
For all that time, they had only managed to break through to the thirty-sixth layer. If one included the eight layers that Lin Yun, in his lifetime as the Blood Emperor, had broken through, other Ghost Practitioners combined had only broken through twenty-eight layers!
Countless eons had passed, and only twenty-eight layers were broken through!
From this, it was evident that breaking through the new layers of the Netherworld was not an easy task!
This time, Lin Yun went to the Netherworld and managed to break through a total of nine layers. This showed just how terrifying this feat was, especially considering it was accomplished in such a short period!
In the Spirit World, only four or five days had passed!
If there were a few more powerful beings like Lin Yun, and if they continued at this rate, wouldn’t the Spirit World be able to break through hundreds of layers within a year? Of course, that would only be possible if the Netherworld actually had that many layers!
However, this also highlighted just how terrifying the deed that Lin Yun had accomplished was!
And when Lin Yun talked about this matter, it seemed as simple as having tea or a meal. Of course, perhaps for Lin Yun, it really was as simple as drinking tea and eating a meal!
Nevertheless, hearing about Lin Yun staying a thousand years in the Netherworld made it much easier for them to accept.
Apart from a few people like the True Martial Saint Lord, most present hadn’t been cultivating for very long, just like Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng, who had only been practicing for a dozen years or so.
Previously, it was the same for Lin Yun. At least, that’s how it was for him in this life.
Only after cultivating for a dozen years did he attain such terrifying strength, so, it’s not that hard to accept that Lin Yun, after cultivating for a thousand years in the Netherworld, had such a significant breakthrough.
“Originally, the highest layer of the Immortal Origin World and our universe’s time flow difference is more than one to three hundred, and the Netherworld and Spirit World’s time flow actually differs by a hundred thousand times, that’s just too exaggerated…” Xia Qingqing shook her head, muttering to herself.
It’s not just the hundred-thousand-fold difference in the flow of time; it’s also that time moves slower in this universe and faster in the Netherworld, completely opposite to the time flow in the High Level Layered Heaven and our universe. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
In the Spirit World a single day passes, while in the Netherworld, more than three hundred years go by—it’s simply unbelievable. Before, they had learned from some Ghost Practitioners that the time flow in the Netherworld differed from that of the grand Spirit World, but actually hearing Lin Yun talk about such a huge disparity was still very shocking.
It also made Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng keenly feel the distance from Lin Yun. The time they had spent with Lin Yun totaled only about a dozen or twenty years, and Lin Yun had just spent a thousand years outside.
Moreover, Lin Yun had already broken through from the Saint Lord Realm to the Peak Saint King Realm.
The Peak Saint King Realm, that was legendary as the highest realm below the Divine Realm, one could imagine that Lin Yun’s strength hadn’t just increased slightly, but there was a chasmal difference between heaven and earth.
Originally, they were already far behind Lin Yun, and now? It was terrifying, the gap was unimaginable!
“We are so lacking in strength, and have spent so little time with him, I don’t know if he can always keep us in his heart…” Thinking this, Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng felt a pang of loss in their hearts.
With such thoughts, their confidence in handling Lin Yun accepting another woman paled even more.
“Lin Yun was actually able to break the barriers of the New Layered Heaven in the Netherworld? And he broke through nine layers of the New Layered Heaven in succession? Moreover, he even broke through from the True Martial Saint Lord Realm to the Peak Saint King Realm?” On the other side, Qingshang, the Saint King, listening to Lin Yun’s words, was also deeply shocked.
Unlike Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, and even the True Martial Saint Lord, Li Qi, and others, who, even if they had cultivated for thousands of years, it was still just thousands of years.
He had cultivated for countless years to reach the Peak Saint King, the apex of strength, and he was very clear about how difficult the path of cultivation was. Even if one had a thousand years, to break through from the True Martial Saint Lord Realm to the Peak Saint King Realm, how could such a fantastical thing happen?
Peak Saint King Realm! Lin Yun had broken through to the Peak Saint King Realm! He was now of the same realm as him!
Originally, Qingshang had felt a tiny bit of pride in reaching the Peak Saint King Realm.
Although Lin Yun was very strong, he was far from being his match, but Lin Yun’s realm was far inferior to his. And furthermore, Lin Yun had such strong power only within this universe; if he left this universe, his strength might not necessarily be stronger than his.
However, now Lin Yun had also broken through to the Peak Saint King Realm, making him feel a profound sense of inferiority. His only advantage had vanished.
Still a True Martial Saint Lord, Lin Yun in this universe possessed the power to battle the Invincible Saint Kings of the grand Spirit World. It was frightening to imagine the extent of the master’s strength now that he had broken through to the Peak Saint King Realm.
If an Invincible Saint King were to enter this universe, Lin Yun could slay the opponent with a single move, and he wouldn’t be surprised.
Even if Lin Yun left this universe and entered the grand Spirit World, having such strength wouldn’t be surprising to him either.
He had already witnessed Lin Yun’s ability to challenge those above his level.
And… Lin Yun actually managed to break through the nine layers of the New Layered Heaven in the Netherworld…
As a Peak Saint King Realm powerhouse, a top fighter in the grand Spirit World, he knew many secrets that other strong beings did not know!
He knew that it was absolutely impossible for Spirits to break the barriers of the New Layered Heaven in the Netherworld!
This fact had already been proven by the unparalleled geniuses of the grand Spirit World!
He never expected that Lin Yun could do it!
Although he already knew that Lin Yun was the Blood Emperor in a former life in the Netherworld, and even a Divine Clan prince before that, ultimately, Lin Yun was a Spirit in this life!
This common understanding had been shattered!
Thinking this, he felt a renewed deep respect for Lin Yun!
