In other words, should he break through another Layer of the Netherworld and truly disturb the balance between the two types of Origin Force within him, he would have no choice but to elevate both the Netherworld and the Bloodslaughter Universe to a sixty-three Layered Cosmic System in order to possibly re-establish that delicate balance.
Elevating the Bloodslaughter Universe to a sixty-three Layered Cosmic System wouldn’t be difficult for him, as it would simply involve the destruction of some ordinary universes within the vast Spirit worlds.
However, with the two types of Origin Force out of balance, if he were to attempt breaking through to a new Layer of the Netherworld, to then break through to the sixty-third Layer would be an incredibly difficult task!
Indeed, he could only assist others in breaking through to the sixty-third Layer of the Netherworld!
At that time, without having obtained the corresponding Origin Force from the Netherworld, whether he could still achieve balance between the two Origin Forces inside of him remained an unknown!
It could be said that such a favorable situation had vanished in an instant!
“Perhaps, the safest method would be to break through the new Layers of the Netherworld in one go, reaching the sixty-third Layer?” Lin Yun pondered with a peculiar expression on his face after a moment of thought.
Seizing the opportunity before the increased difficulty that came with each new Layer of the Netherworld manifested, if his power was sufficient, the challenge of breaking directly through to the sixty-third Layer wouldn’t be much harder than his current endeavor.
If, at any point along the way or afterwards, the balance of the two Origin Forces inside him was lost, just breaking through to the sixty-third Layer of the Netherworld would allow him to upgrade the Bloodslaughter Universe’s level and restore the balance between the two forces once more.
If successful, he would just need to repeat this process twice more, breaking through to the eighty-first Layer of the Netherworld, which would not be too difficult.
However, there were risks involved. If, along the way, he failed, and did not manage to break through nine Layers at once.
If he were to stop somewhere between the fifty-fifth and the sixty-third Layer, it wouldn’t be too bad, but if problems arose between the sixty-fourth and seventy-second Layers, there would still be room for salvage.
But, if he stopped within the last nine Layers, from the seventy-third to the eighty-first, that would spell disaster!
If he were to break through to over seventy Layers in one go, he could not even fathom the extent to which the difficulty of breaking through new Layers of the Netherworld would increase!
If, during the process of breaking through from the seventy-third to the eighty-first Layer, he suddenly found himself unable to continue, and the two Origin Forces within him fell out of balance, with the difficulty of breaking new Layers of the Netherworld restored, he would almost be incapable of breaking through the final three Layers of the entire Netherworld!
The final three Layers of a world are incredibly important!
Missing out would mean that in the future, if someone else were to break through one of the final three Layers of the Netherworld, they could potentially compete with him for ultimate authority over the entire Netherworld, with three possible contenders for the three Layers!
If someone were to break through two of those Layers, their advantage in contesting for control over the entire Netherworld would be even greater!
On the other hand, considering the current level of development within the Netherworld, who else could reach the stage of being able to break through the final three Layers? How long would he have to wait for that to happen?
This was a very complex issue!
However, considering such a problem now seemed somewhat premature for him!
It would be better to wait until he had broken through from the fifty-fifth to the sixty-third Layer before considering the problems of the subsequent Layers. If problems arose in this segment, there would be no need to consider those that followed!
If he managed to smoothly get past this segment, he could think about these issues later!
“The sixty-third Layer… the sixty-third Layer…” Lin Yun muttered to himself a few times.
If an ordinary Cultivator wished to break through the sixty-third Layer of the Netherworld, what kind of power would they need? Was his current power sufficient?
“My current power is comparable to the top warriors of a medium Divine Domain Realm, and I can even skirmish with those from a higher Divine Domain Realm without issue. Considering my age and realm, which are quite minor, perhaps I qualify to break through the sixty-third Layer of the Netherworld…” Lin Yun mused softly.
As long as he possessed the standard of power required to break through the sixty-third Layer, it would naturally be no issue to break through the preceding Layers, assuming the difficulty did not change.
Even so, he couldn’t calculate it just by the standard threshold.
If, during the process of breaking through the new Layers, the interaction of the two Origin Forces within him suddenly disappeared and the difficulty was reinstated, it would be imperative for him to break through to the sixty-third Layer before the difficulty reached a certain level.
Therefore, he needed to possess even greater strength to proceed in such a manner.
The stronger the power, the better, the stronger, the safer.
This matter was not urgent; before his breakthrough to a medium Divine Domain Realm, there was still significant room for improvement in his power, such as mastering the use of some battle skills and further upgrading the level of the Blood Prison Sword and Heavenly Principle Tower.
Whoosh!
With a thought from Lin Yun, his body vanished from the fifty-fourth Layer in the next instant.
In the fifty-third Layer, where everyone was cultivating, Lin Yun appeared before them.
“We pay our respects to you, my lord!”
“We all pay our respects to you, Blood Emperor!”
The Ghost Practitioners who were cultivating, all of substantial strength, sensed Lin Yun’s arrival. Opening their eyes and seeing him not far away, they quickly got up and rushed to salute him with great respect.
Lin Yun’s successive breaking through of nine new Layers of the Netherworld only intensified their sensation of his unparalleled supremacy. Their reverence for Lin Yun deepened even further in their hearts.
