NOVPUBChapter 1256: Chapter 998: Three Paths Chapter 1256: Chapter 998: Three Paths “I have seen the Blood Emperor!”
“I pay my respects to the Blood Emperor!”
Just at that moment, some powerful Ghost Practitioners had already noticed Lin Yun, and upon seeing him, they were all astonished and hurried over to pay their respectful salutations.
It was then that Lin Yun also noticed that there were already Ghost Practitioners who had made breakthroughs into the Divine Realm.
Moreover, there were not one, but two of them.
They were none other than Lily Emperor, the master of the twenty-ninth level of the Netherworld, and Frubor, the master of the twenty-seventh level. 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
It was proven that, after Lin Yun’s reincarnation, their early breaking through the twenty-seventh and twenty-ninth levels of the Netherworld indicated their immense talent, and under the advantageous circumstances of Lin Yun successively breaking through the eighteen New Layered Heavens, they had finally achieved a breakthrough to the new domain that was made accessible due to the continuous shattering of the Netherworld’s New Layered Heavens, the Divine Realm!
The Ghost God Realm!
Lin Yun looked up and saw among his subordinates the Tri-Eyed Emperor was still in the Peak Saint King Realm.
After tens of thousands of years, there had been substantial changes within the higher levels of the Netherworld; when Lin Yun departed, the Tri-Eyed Emperor was the strongest aside from himself, but now, he probably had lost the position of the second strongest.
This was the disadvantage of being an Acquired Ghost Practitioner.
Lin Yun shook his head inwardly.
Otherwise, with the Tri-Eyed Emperor’s talent, he could have already made a breakthrough into the Divine Realm.
“Not bad, continue your diligent cultivation and strive to reach even higher realms soon!” Lin Yun looked at Frubor and Lily Emperor, nodding slightly with approval in his tone.
“Thank you for the praise, Blood Emperor! We will definitely cultivate diligently!”
Hearing Lin Yun’s praise, both Frubor and Lily Emperor were delighted and responded in unison.
Frubor was indeed relieved in his heart; after all, when the Blood Emperor was reincarnated, he was the first Ghost Practitioner to break through the Netherworld’s New Layered Heaven. His strength, if not ranked first in the Netherworld, certainly placed him firmly in the top three—how glorious was that?
However, as one Ghost Practitioner after another shattered the New Layered Heavens and rose to power, his strength ranking began to decline continuously. When many Ghost Practitioners in the Netherworld were ranked among the Nine Emperors, he was not even listed, how frustrating that had been for him at that time?
Some time ago, seeing the Tri-Eyed Emperor’s strength grow unceasingly, many powerful Peak Saint King level Ghost Practitioners stood no chance against him, and Frubor felt envious!
However, he remembered the Blood Emperor saying that the Acquired Divine Race could not break through to the Divine Realm, and the Tri-Eyed Emperor was from the Acquired Divine Race. He suppressed that envy and secretly rekindled his determination, focused on surpassing the Tri-Eyed Emperor!
Finally, his talent shined through, and his strength surged once again, becoming the first Ghost Practitioner in the Netherworld after the Blood Emperor to break through to the Divine Realm!
As his mastery and strength became stable and more formidable, in their confrontation a hundred thousand years ago, he had already surpassed the Tri-Eyed Emperor, which restored his confidence and pride!
At this moment, receiving Lin Yun’s praise only intensified that feeling!
Of course, he would never dare to entertain surpassing Lin Yun. Lin Yun had successively shattered eighteen New Layered Heavens of the Netherworld himself and in his past life, an additional eight, totalling twenty-six. Such an achievement was unprecedented, and it was very likely unsurpassable.
Even if in the future he gained the strength to shatter two or three more New Layered Heavens, he would not dare to consider surpassing Lin Yun, as he wholeheartedly submitted to everything about Lin Yun.
Meanwhile, Lily Emperor was no less excited than Frubor. She had feelings for Lin Yun, and seeing Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, and Purple Cloud with him only added to her confidence. For tens of thousands of years, she had cultivated unremittingly and finally broke through to the Divine Realm. Receiving Lin Yun’s praise now seemed to her that all her years of dedication were worthwhile.
How could Lin Yun not sense their thoughts?
Frubor’s thoughts left Lin Yun unaffected. Which among the top tier of strong individuals didn’t have a will to win? Which lacked pride? Frubor’s accomplishments, both past and present, ranked as top-tier in the entire Netherworld; such a disposition was normal!
However, Lily Emperor’s thoughts caused him to smile wryly. It is common for an exceptional individual to be admired by the opposite sex, but such admiration usually fades over time without reciprocation, a perfectly normal occurrence. He had previously sensed Lily Emperor’s thoughts but didn’t take them seriously.
To his surprise, tens of thousands of years had passed in the Netherworld, and she had made a breakthrough to the Divine Realm, yet her persistence was unrelenting, giving him a slight headache.
If Lily Emperor were just an ordinary Ghost Practitioner, that would be one thing. But she had already broken through to the Divine Realm, her strength was stronger than the Tri-Eyed Emperor, and besides, she hadn’t done anything wrong; it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to casually distance her.
So, Lin Yun decided not to dwell on it any longer.
“Everyone may disperse now. Go about your business. Three Eyes, come with me for a moment!” Lin Yun said to the gathering of Ghost Practitioners before turning his attention to the Tri-Eyed Emperor.
“Yes, my lord!” the Tri-Eyed Emperor replied very respectfully.
Shortly after, Lin Yun and the Tri-Eyed Emperor arrived at a secluded place. Lin Yun turned around, looked at the Tri-Eyed Emperor, and smiled, “Seeing other Ghost Practitioner’s strength surpass yours, have you felt downcast?”
“It’s fine, Three Eyes was prepared for this a long time ago,” the Tri-Eyed Emperor said with a smile, speaking from his heart. He had been prepared ever since Lin Yun had mentioned that Acquired Ghost Practitioners could not break through to the Divine Realm.
