NOVPUBChapter 1253: Chapter 996: The Divine Realm Must Not Be Insulted_3 Chapter 1253: Chapter 996: The Divine Realm Must Not Be Insulted_3 If some Cultivators from the vast Spirit World saw him, perhaps they would recognize that this Divine Realm powerhouse was the one who had slain the Bloodslaughter Saint King. His image, not concealed during the battle against the Bloodslaughter Saint King, had already spread throughout the entire upper echelon of the Spirit World.
This Blood Sword, along with the White Little Tower, were precisely the treasures he obtained by slaying the Bloodslaughter Saint King.
Subsequently, the Divine Realm powerhouse stored away these two treasures. As a member of the Acquired Divine Race at the median level of the Divine Realm, he already possessed a mid-grade Divine Artifact and didn’t really need these two lower-grade Divine Artifacts.
However, they were still a gain, and he could later use them to trade with other Divine Realm Practitioners for different treasures.
It’s just a pity…
The Divine Realm Practitioner thought once more about that determined youth and shook his head.
Many ordinary Cultivators believed he only simply tried to recruit that Bloodslaughter Saint King, unaware that he had also spent some effort in persuasion.
It’s just a pity that the Bloodslaughter Saint King was too stubborn and never agreed to his recruitment. Otherwise, he could have spared those two lower-grade Divine Artifacts.
A very powerful Peak Saint King was, in his eyes, of greater value. The world was neither large nor small, and many hidden places were restricted to those of certain strengths to enter.
For instance, the recently disturbed Netherworld was inaccessible to Divine Realm Practitioners from the Spirit World, but Invincible Saint Kings below the Divine Domain Realm could enter. The Bloodslaughter Saint King was extremely powerful in the Sanctuary, and if recruited, might bring him great benefits in the future.
For this purpose, he even promised to grant a lower-grade piece of Godhood to him in the future, but unfortunately, the recruitment still failed and in the end, he had no choice but to slay him.
An unyielding Sanctuary Cultivator with not inconsequential potential was not someone he wanted to leave alive and risk creating a hidden danger for himself. If he spared the man’s life and a more powerful Divine Realm practitioner learned of it and recruited him, that would only spell trouble for himself.
…
In another part of the vast Spirit World.
“In the eyes of many Cultivators, the Bloodslaughter Saint King has perished. With this event, the focus of some in the Divine Realm can once again be diverted…” A white-robed youth near the Bloodslaughter Universe gazed into the boundless space and murmured softly.
If the higher-order Saint Kings from the Spirit World saw this white-robed youth, they would surely be extremely shocked.
Wasn’t this white-robed youth the very same Bloodslaughter Saint King whose name had been buzzing everywhere, believed to have perished?
Indeed, this white-robed youth was Lin Yun!
The individual who had captured everyone’s attention and later perished at the hands of that Divine Realm Practitioner was simply a Peak Saint King Realm avatar that Lin Yun had left in the Bloodslaughter Universe. Although it was only at the Peak Saint King Realm, powered by the original body’s support, the clone’s strength was not weak and nearly comparable to a practitioner at the low end of the Divine Domain Realm.
If within the Bloodslaughter Universe, with the support of its energies, he could even slay practitioners at the lower end of the Divine Domain Realm.
As long as the Bloodslaughter Universe wasn’t destroyed, Lin Yun could continuously create clones. Sacrificing a Peak Saint King Realm clone to draw everyone’s attention was naturally an expense Lin Yun was willing to bear, in fact, it was part of his original plan.
If there’s a significant cost, it was the two lower-grade Divine Artifacts. In order to make that clone appear more genuine and dissuade other Divine Realm Practitioners from coveting his treasures, he especially forged two lower-grade Divine Artifacts similar to the Blood Prison Sword and the Heavenly Principle Tower, which truly cost him some effort.
It was only because of the substantial energy absorbed by the Blood Prison Sword that he was able to quickly forge those two lower-grade Divine Artifacts. Otherwise, the time required would have been immense and he probably wouldn’t have been willing to waste it doing so.
Actually, he didn’t need to make an artifact that resembled the Heavenly Principle Tower, given that the tower had not been widely revealed to the outside world. However, considering that some Cultivators had left the Bloodslaughter Universe, and if ever they disclosed information about the Heavenly Principle Tower, that could draw more attention from other Cultivators.
As such, he decided to forge another artifact.
At this moment, Lin Yun was waiting for that Divine Realm powerhouse who had slain his avatar.
Having slaughtered his clone and gained two lower-grade Divine Artifacts, it was normal for him to think about revisiting the Bloodslaughter Universe.
If the man came, Lin Yun would decide how to react based on the situation.
If the Bloodslaughter Universe hadn’t caught his interest, Lin Yun wouldn’t mind letting him leave.
But if he coveted the Bloodslaughter Universe, planning some action against it, it was very likely that Lin Yun would intervene and slay him.
Previously, the death of his Bloodslaughter Saint King persona at the hands of that Divine Realm powerhouse had become known to many powerhouses in the Spirit World.
The interest in both the Bloodslaughter Saint King and the Bloodslaughter Universe had greatly diminished among everyone, and many powerhouses shifted their focus to the Divine Realm powerhouse who had slain him.
But that Divine Realm practitioner held no low standing, and ordinary Cultivators would not be privy to his whereabouts. Even if he were to be killed in the Bloodslaughter Universe and other Cultivators learned of his disappearance upon entering it, it could still be presumed by others that he was merely undergoing seclusion and cultivation there.
For a middle-level Divine Realm practitioner, it is quite normal to be in seclusion for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years. By then, he and the Bloodslaughter Universe might enjoy a relatively long period of quiet development.
One day… two days… three days…
Lin Yun had waited near the Bloodslaughter Universe for three days, but in the surrounding desolate and sparse Dead Silent Universe, he still hadn’t awaited the Divine Realm powerhouse’s arrival.
“Three days have passed and he hasn’t come. He probably won’t come for a while,” Lin Yun shook his head slightly.
People have different characters, and so do gods. Being of the middle level in the Divine Domain Realm, such a Divine Realm Practitioner would hardly be considered weak. It’s normal for some mid-level Divine Realm Practitioners to suddenly develop the notion of targeting him. After slaying him and gaining two lower-grade Divine Artifacts, it would seem logical that returning to the Bloodslaughter Universe wouldn’t yield much more, hence looking down on it and no longer showing interest could also be deemed reasonable.
Whew!
With that in mind, Lin Yun’s true body no longer lingered near the Bloodslaughter Universe. With a thought, he performed Spatial Transposition towards another region of space.
Within the Bloodslaughter Universe, his clone had already reformed a few breaths after its demise. If that Divine Realm Practitioner came later on, his true self could return at any moment.
