NOVPUBChapter 1266: Chapter 102: A Sword Divides Heaven and Earth_2 Chapter 1266: Chapter 102: A Sword Divides Heaven and Earth_2 “Break!”
Lin Yun’s deep voice arose.
“Boom!”
A sword strike as if opening the heavens and splitting the earth, swiftly slashed at the core space of the New Layered Heaven.
“Rumble!”
“Rumble—”
New spatial rifts emerged, and within less than half a breath, two different levels of aura emanated from within! Supreme! Mysterious! Powerful and more!
The sixty-first Layer of Heaven broke!
The sixty-second Layer of Heaven broke!
“Another sword strike breaking through two layers of the New Layered Heaven…”
“Within less than five breaths, he consecutively shattered eight layers of the New Layered Heaven…”
“This… this… this…”
Below, many Ghost Practitioners were too shocked to speak.
The Blood Emperor’s defiance of the heavens was a historically unparalleled feat, far beyond their imagination.
…
While everyone was astonished by Lin Yun’s heaven-defying act of shattering the New Layered Heaven, in another place that almost no Ghost Practitioners had paid attention to.
“Buzz!”
The Godhood that Lin Yun’s avatar had condensed also successfully gathered the eighth Golden Line, as enormous energy from heaven and earth surged toward his condensed Godhood, toward his body, rapidly elevating his aura.
While Lin Yun’s true form was preparing to break through the New Layered Heaven of the Netherworld, the Godhood that his avatar had condensed had already gathered the seventh Golden Line, whereas the eighth had been gathering momentum but not yet condensed. Now, the eighth Golden Line had finally solidified.
Looking at the vast high-level energy filling the heavens, continuously flowing into Lin Yun’s condensed Godhood and the avatar’s body, it was certain that if Lin Yun’s true form had not timely shattered the New Layered Heaven of the Netherworld, causing the surrounding vast energy to descend, the eighth Golden Line on this piece of Godhood would definitely not have been possible to condense for the avatar.
Finally, Lin Yun’s efforts had borne fruit.
Simply allowing the avatar’s Godhood to condense an additional Golden Line, to reach the level of an eight-line Godhood, was already a significant achievement.
Now… it remains to be seen if this avatar can condense the ninth Golden Line…
It also remains to be seen whether Lin Yun’s true form can break through the last layer of the New Layered Heaven!
If both are achieved, Lin Yun’s actions this time will be perfect!
Within the New Layered Heaven.
“Only the last Layer of Heaven left… just the last Layer of Heaven left…”
Lin Yun gazed at the space rift before him, also shouting anxiously in his heart.
After consecutively shattering two layers of the New Layered Heaven, he could sense that the amount of Origin Force from the Netherworld nearby had multiplied several times again, having reached dozens of times more than the Origin Force from the Netherworld within his own body.
Naturally, the imbalance between the two forces of Origin within him exacerbated.
According to his calculations, he probably couldn’t last one-third of a breath before the two forces of Origin within him would become unbalanced.
However, the last Layer of a minor whole was always the hardest to shatter.
Especially since he had just broken through two layers of the New Layered Heaven in succession, and even though the sixty-second Layer of Heaven was shattered, the extent of its opening was not as wide as the sixty-first Laye, and because the opening was so brief, a complete layer of space had not appeared. If he were to enter now and try to break through to an even higher New Layered Heaven, he would be unable to apply his greatest strength to shatter the barrier of the New Layered Heaven.
Unlike his previous two instances where a single sword strike shattered two layers of the New Layered Heaven, previously, the two layers had not yet opened, and the barrier locations overlapped, hence he could slash through two layers with a single sword strike.
Now, with the New Layered Heaven just having opened, the barrier location of the higher realm was rapidly changing during the opening process, making it difficult to pinpoint the position.
No matter how strong the force, if it couldn’t reach the barrier, the New Layered Heaven couldn’t be shattered.
Just as when Lin Yun was in the Bloodslaughter Universe without knowledge of the secret technique, his power, though already sufficient, could not break through the New Layered Heaven.
Now, Lin Yun was facing a similar situation.
He had to wait for some time after reaching the 62nd Heaven before he could enter and then attempt to cut through the 63rd Heaven.
In fact, the time he needed to wait was not too long; it was negligible compared to the time normal Cultivators took to break through a New Layered Heaven.
Unfortunately, Lin Yun didn’t have much time left.
Eventually, Lin Yun’s true form entered the 62nd Heaven, but he didn’t immediately unleash the sword strike, because he hadn’t clearly sensed the barrier of the 63rd Heaven. To strike now, without being able to truly hit the barrier of the 63rd Heaven, would be a waste of power and time.
If he missed the fleeting moment when the barrier of the 63rd Heaven truly appeared, it would be a huge loss.
It was best for him to wait until the instant the barrier of the 63rd Heaven truly appeared, then unleash the strongest sword strike in hopes of cutting through the 63rd Heaven’s barrier in one go.
Lin Yun’s body stirred up huge waves, but his heart grew calmer and calmer, eventually reaching extreme calmness.
“It’s appeared!”
Finally, Lin Yun’s eyes shone, and the sword attack he had prepared long ago, like teleportation, slashed fiercely upward.
“Break!”
Lin Yun shouted loudly.
Success, once again at hand!
If the sword strike broke through the barrier of the 63rd Heaven, he would have broken all the New Layered Heavens of the Netherworld, even if the two strains of Origin Force in his body became unbalanced. Once his true form or counterpart returned to the Spirit Great World, he could destroy more Dead Silent Universes to upgrade the Bloodslaughter Universe, potentially rebalancing the two types of Origin Force within him.
If he failed… he might never again have a chance to break through the New Layered Heavens of the Netherworld, and whether he could intervene in the final three levels of the Netherworld was uncertain!
And if the Netherworld only broke through to the 62nd Heaven, with the natural evolution of the Ghost Practitioners’ strength, the following nineteen levels… who knows when they could be broken through!
A world’s New Layered Heavens become increasingly difficult to break through, and the Netherworld’s final nineteen heavens are certainly more challenging than the previous nineteen. But when did the Netherworld breakthrough its first nineteen heavens after its emergence?
Billions of years ago in the Spirit Great World’s time… Lin Yun, as the crown prince of the Divine Clan, perished and entered the Netherworld as the Blood Emperor, breaking through the 19th Heaven of the Netherworld!
From the birth of the Netherworld, that was almost ten billion years of the Spirit Great World’s time!
One step behind, falling behind step by step, could Lin Yun wait another ten billion years to plan breaking through the Netherworld’s final three heavens?
Age, strength, and realm are the three key elements for a Cultivator to break through a world’s New Layered Heaven!
By then, even if Lin Yun had stayed within the Spirit Great World, he would have reached tens of billions of years old.
Even if Lin Yun broke through to the Peak Divine Domain Realm, would he still be qualified to break through one of the final three heavens of the Netherworld?
Keep in mind, Lin Yun wasn’t a newcomer but the Cultivator who had previously broken through dozens of the Netherworld’s New Layered Heavens. After this attempt, the force of the Netherworld’s laws within him would be immense; even if he didn’t break through another New Layered Heaven or gain a bit more law’s power for many levels, this amount could not be overlooked!
The difficulty for him to break through the Netherworld’s final three heavens was far greater than for a newcomer!
Especially since Lin Yun had once broken through a New Layered Heaven of the Netherworld, receiving a great boon, he vaguely felt this would increase the difficulty of breaking through yet another New Layered Heaven of the Netherworld!
So… he might forever lose the opportunity to break through another New Layered Heaven of the Netherworld!
Not to mention the Spirit Great World, where billions of years would pass and countless events would unfold!
If he truly waited that long, the matter would probably be long since cold!
Thus, once he failed, the consequences would be dire! 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
He only had one chance with this sword!
If this sword strike failed, the two strains of Origin Force in his body would become unbalanced, and the difficulty of breaking through another New Layered Heaven of the Netherworld would skyrocket, without a second chance to unleash another strike!
After unleashing the sword, Lin Yun intently watched what was unfolding ahead, his eyes dazzlingly bright.
“Boom!”
A thunderous sound erupted, and at the thickest layer of stacked spaces—the barrier of the 63rd Heaven—Lin Yun cut open a crack, through which a higher, more mysterious aura emerged.
