NOVPUBChapter 1255: Chapter 997: Great Changes_2 Chapter 1255: Chapter 997: Great Changes_2 “It seems that this senior has used another method to divert attention…” Zhong Stone murmured thoughtfully.
From his last conversation with Lin Yun, he knew that Lin Yun didn’t want to attract too much attention from the powerful beings of the outside world. At that time, he had helped the other party divert some of that attention, and now, it seemed that Lin Yun had employed another method to shift that focus.
He thought back to the two bodies of Lin Yun he had seen; at that time, he was at an intermediate Divine Domain Realm, and Lin Yun was only at the Peak Saint King Realm, yet he could not discern which body was the true one.
Perhaps, it was by using this technique that he had managed to deceive many powerful beings in the Spirit World.
Zhong Stone mused to himself.
…
In the blink of an eye, another three months had passed.
In the first two months, two Cultivators at the lower Divine Realm had come to the Bloodslaughter Universe with various motives. However, just as they entered the Bloodslaughter Universe, before they could marvel at its high level, they were entangled by Lin Yun’s avatar.
In just a dozen breaths’ time, they were slain by Lin Yun’s avatar. Although Lin Yun’s avatar was only at the Peak Saint King Realm, as Lin Yun’s main body reached the pinnacle of the lower Divine Realm and condensed nine Golden Lines Godhood, the strength of Lin Yun’s avatar had already surpassed its original level. Within the Bloodslaughter Universe, annihilating ordinary lower Divine Realm Cultivators was still achievable.
During this time, Lin Yun’s main body continued to destroy the Dead Silent Universes throughout the Spirit World without any interference.
Thus, three more months went by.
Adding the previous month, it had been four months since any Divine Realm powerhouses had come to the Bloodslaughter Universe. It seemed that with the Bloodslaughter Saint King slain by a powerful Divine Realm being, the Bloodslaughter Universe gradually faded from the attention of those Divine Realm powers.
There were still some Cultivators of the Sanctuary realm who kept coming to the Bloodslaughter Universe, but they were either stopped by the powerful Saint Kings enslaved by Lin Yun in the shadows, or they were eliminated within the Bloodslaughter Universe itself. Furthermore, with Lin Yun restricting the natives of the Bloodslaughter Universe from leaving, the true level of the Bloodslaughter Universe remained unknown to the outside world.
By this time, it had been about nine months since Lin Yun’s main body re-entered the Spirit World.
In this period, Lin Yun’s main body kept destroying Dead Silent Universes one after another, and the Bloodslaughter Universe finally reached the verge of upgrading.
“At most, after I destroy a few more Dead Silent Universes of the fifty-four Layered Cosmic System, I can upgrade the Bloodslaughter Universe to a sixty-three Layered Cosmic System…” Lin Yun paused from his destruction of the Dead Silent Universes, looking at the endless space ahead and mused.
He had already locked onto ten Dead Silent Universes of the fifty-four Layered Cosmic System nearby. If he exerted his full power, it would only take a few breaths to annihilate all of those Dead Silent Universes, upgrading the Bloodslaughter Universe to a sixty-three Layered Cosmic System.
“During this time, the Blood Prison Sword has upgraded to a medium-grade Divine Artifact, and the Heavenly Principle Tower has reached the peak of lower-grade Divine Artifacts. My strength has touched the limit of the lower Divine Realm, and it’s almost time to break through the New Layered Heaven of the Netherworld again,” said Lin Yun, his eyes flickering with sharp glints as he spoke in a low voice.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Lin Yun’s body disappeared.
A few breaths later, Lin Yun’s main body entered the Bloodslaughter Universe.
Inside the Bloodslaughter Universe, Lin Yun’s avatar also approached, and soon, Lin Yun’s avatar merged with the main body, and together, they flew towards the Netherworld passageway.
This time, Lin Yun intended to take his avatar to the Netherworld because its purpose, to confuse the powerful Divine Realm beings of the outside world, had been achieved; thus, there was no need to keep his avatar from breaking through any longer.
He also planned that, should his main body encounter any imbalance in the Origin Force while breaking through the New Layered Heaven of the Netherworld, he could have his avatar in the Spirit World try to obliterate those Dead Silent Universes. After all, a fifty-four Layered Cosmic System Dead Silent Universe was not weak in defense, and destroying such a universe was not any easier than slaying a Cultivator at the lower Divine Realm.
With the avatar at the peak of the Saint King Realm outside the Bloodslaughter Universe, destroying such a universe quickly wouldn’t be too easy.
And when he shattered the Netherworld’s New Layered Heaven, it was a race against time, where every minute, every second, even every millisecond was of the utmost importance. Naturally, the stronger his clone’s strength, the better, ideally also breaking through to the lower Divine Realm.
And for breaking through, the Netherworld was the best destination.
On one hand, for the clone to break through to the Divine Realm was neither too hard nor too easy. His main body had already broken through to the lower Divine Realm, and with their thoughts connected, all that was needed was an opportunity for the clone to break through to the Divine Realm.
In the Netherworld, time flowed more quickly. Even if his clone stayed in the Netherworld for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, only a day or half a day, at most two to three days, would pass in the Spirit World.
If the clone were to practice in the Netherworld for just a hundred and eighty years, there was no need to worry about any major changes in the Bloodslaughter Universe. Should any changes occur, both his main body and clone could return in time.
On the other hand, after he had continuously shattered the Netherworld up to the fifty-fourth Layered Heaven, the various Yin attribute forces of heaven and earth were extremely dense. Lin Yun’s clone mainly cultivated in the Spirit World, absorbing Yang attribute energy, and the core of breaking through to the Divine Realm was the harmony of Yin and Yang. He believed that breaking through to the Divine Realm in the Netherworld would be advantageous and harmless.
…
Nine months had passed in the vast Spirit World, while tens of thousands of years had gone by from the forty-sixth to the fifty-fourth Layered Heaven in the Netherworld. Those people around Lin Yun, as well as the Ghost Practitioners he had gathered, had already been cultivating in the fifty-third Layered Heaven of the Netherworld for tens of thousands of years.
Thankfully, when Cultivators secluded themselves for cultivation, they did not really feel the passage of time; otherwise, it truly would have been a feeling of worlds changing.
Even so, when Lin Yun entered the fifty-third Layered Heaven of the Netherworld, he was still startled by the changes.
The fifty-third Layered Heaven of the Netherworld now looked very different from when he had left.
Originally, he had settled many of his subordinates in the fifty-third Layered Heaven, many from the time he left Earth, and some who joined or left upon his later return, totaling roughly a hundred thousand people.
However, now there were five or six hundred thousand people, and many were unfamiliar presences. Yet, amidst the unfamiliarity, some were recognizable. Lin Yun quickly realized that these unfamiliar presences were none other than the descendants of his subordinates.
Not only that, many of these descendants were also quite powerful, with the strongest even having reached the level of a Peak Saint Lord.
He had left the Netherworld for only a few months to enter the Spirit World, yet the fifty-third Layered Heaven of the Netherworld had undergone such major changes, which genuinely felt odd to him.
One must know, during his time as the Blood Emperor, he mostly acted alone. Therefore, he did not have a deep impression of time’s flow, and also, the Netherworld had only been shattered up to twenty-something layered heavens back then, making the disparity in time flow between the Netherworld and the Spirit World not as vast as it was now. Moreover, he seldom visited the Spirit World, so he did not pay much attention to this.
However, aside from the time as the Blood Emperor, whether it was his life as Lingtian, as the Divine Clan’s Crown Prince, or this life, his impressions were mostly based on the Spirit World, especially since during the lives as Lingtian and the Divine Clan’s Crown Prince, he had never entered the Netherworld.
Therefore, at this moment, Lin Yun deeply felt the power of time, the terror of the Netherworld’s time flow speed.
He had only spent a few months in the Spirit World, and the number of his subordinates had multiplied, and their strength had increased manyfold. What would it mean if tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of years were to pass in the Spirit World?
Moreover, he estimated this was because his subordinates did not breed extensively. Otherwise, even with the high difficulty of cultivator reproduction, doubling the population in a few thousand years would not be difficult.
In tens of thousands of years, the population could have multiplied by thousands or even tens of thousands of times.
“With the Netherworld as my backing, I will eventually suppress those Acquired Divine Races…” Lin Yun’s eyes flickered slightly as he murmured softly.
At this moment, boundless confidence surged in his heart. Not to mention anything else, just the speed of time flow in the Netherworld was a tremendous advantage.
Now, he had only shattered the Netherworld up to the fifty-fourth Layered Heaven, but when he shattered it to the sixty-third Layered Heaven, the seventy-second Layered Heaven, or even the eighty-first Layered Heaven, this advantage would increase by hundreds or even thousands of times, and become even more terrifying.
