NOVPUBChapter 1220: Chapter 981: One Thought Heaven, One Thought Hell! Chapter 1220: Chapter 981: One Thought Heaven, One Thought Hell! Although their bodies were shattered, the two New Divine Race beings were not completely without the power to resist. They wielded various magical treasures and Divine Realm attacks to fend off the assaults from Lin Yun and the black-armored young man, even trying to counterattack.
As the battle continued, the black-armored young man grew increasingly shocked. He realized that the Bloodslaughter Saint King was not only capable of wielding the Power of Time but could also expertly execute a variety of high-level combat techniques of the Divine Clan, making his attacks extremely powerful.
The combined onslaught from their two bodies, along with their eerie ability to manipulate the powers of this universe, was almost as formidable as earlier when he had not yet burned his Origin Force. 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
This fact filled him with great relief.
Fortunately, he had not decided to turn against them earlier; otherwise, he might not have been able to handle them. Even a slight oversight could have put him at a disadvantage. At that time, had the two New Divine Race beings arrived, he might have found himself in a dire situation.
On reflection, Grey Leaf was merely a lower-level Divine Realm being. It was no injustice for him to fall into their hands.
As a lower-level Divine Realm being, Grey Leaf was unlucky to set his sights on such an abnormal Sanctuary Cultivator.
“And then there’s that Divine Artifact…” Soon after, the black-armored young man’s gaze was drawn to the Blood Prison Sword in Lin Yun’s hand, and he inwardly marveled at its power.
He found that, just as Grey Leaf had previously mentioned, the Blood Sword could absorb the enemy’s strength and simultaneously amplify the power of its wielder. Each time the Bloodslaughter Saint King struck the enemy with the Blood Sword, the enemy’s aura would significantly weaken, while conversely, the Bloodslaughter Saint King’s aura would intensify.
If this continued, if the adversaries couldn’t handle the Bloodslaughter Saint King at the start, who would be his match?
“The name Bloodslaughter Saint King, could it be because of this Blood Sword? Indeed, the Blood Sword is both eerie and mighty. No wonder Grey Leaf was so anxious to have me turn against him and seize this sword…” The black-armored young man shook his head internally.
Now, he understood Grey Leaf’s emotions; sadly, he guessed Grey Leaf hadn’t known his opponent’s strength was so formidable. Even if he had turned against him earlier, he wouldn’t have been able to prevail!
However…
Thinking this, the black-armored young man’s hands hesitated slightly.
It was foreseeable that with the current rise and fall of power, the two New Divine Race beings were doomed.
Yet, having burned his Origin Force, his current state would likely end once this battle concluded. At that time, with his significantly reduced strength and the Bloodslaughter Saint King’s power on the rise, how could he possibly escape unscathed?
Previously, he had been prepared to sacrifice himself to buy Grey Leaf time.
But, if one could avoid dying, who would actually wish for their own death? Now, predicting the downfall of the two New Divine Race beings, he couldn’t help but consider his own escape.
“Perhaps I should hold back my strength a bit, let the Bloodslaughter Saint King struggle some more? Or even, when the two New Divine Race beings are on the brink of annihilation, should I leave beforehand?” contemplated the black-armored young man silently.
Otherwise, all three of them, who were medium-level Divine Realm beings, could truly end up defeated by the hands of the Bloodslaughter Saint King.
Wipe out the two New Divine Race beings first, and then, it would be a windfall for the Bloodslaughter Saint King to come after him.
“The amount of the Power of Time I carry is limited. I cannot use it recklessly; the outcome of the battle is yet uncertain. Don’t think of conserving your strength just yet. Wait until the life force of these two New Divine Race beings is reduced by another thirty percent, and then you can stop burning your Origin Force. By then, I alone will be sufficient to hold them back. If you pull back your power now, I can’t assure their capture, and they might even turn the tide…”
Lin Yun, deeply integrated with the power of the Bloodslaughter Universe, could sense the young man’s thoughts. He glanced at the black-armored young man and slowly sent a telepathic message.
Of course, his words were not intended to frighten the other.
Medium-level Divine Realm beings have robust life forces. As his realm was somewhat weaker, and the Blood Prison Sword of relatively low level, even though he infused it with the Power of Time, each attack only slightly diminished the power of the two New Divine Race beings.
There is a tipping point in all matters, and clearly, they had not yet reached the stage where the two New Divine Race beings could no longer turn the tables. If the black-armored young man retreated now, the favorable situation might completely dissipate.
By that time, although he was certain that the two New Divine Race beings could not harm him, he was unsure if they might still inflict damage upon the spirits of the Bloodslaughter Universe.
For so long, no other Divine Realm beings had come to the Bloodslaughter Universe, and it was uncertain whether the enemy had exerted their influence within. If they managed to escape, they might return with even stronger Divine Realm beings.
Naturally, it was safer to hold the two New Divine Race beings now.
“What?” On the other side, the black-armored young man was still pondering things when he heard Lin Yun’s telepathic message, causing his body to jolt in shock as he turned his head to look at Lin Yun in disbelief.
Being a medium-level Divine Realm being, he had kept his thoughts incredibly private, not to be perceived by others. Yet, Lin Yun had sensed them. Lin Yun was just a Sanctuary Cultivator… right?
Is this what a Sanctuary Cultivator should be? Could Lin Yun really be from the Sanctuary?
Not only did he wield a vast amount of the Power of Time!
Senior Divine Clan combat techniques, so skillfully executed!
And such formidable combat power!
At this moment, the black-armored young man couldn’t help but feel a sense of absurdity!
How could a Sanctuary Cultivator achieve so much?
Perhaps…
Suddenly, another thought rose in the mind of the black-armored young man.
