"Kill. Kill. Kill."
"The more I kill, the stronger I become."
An overwhelming killing intent surfaced in Lin Yun’s mind, filling every corner with almost instantaneous speed just as he let his guard down.
"Humph!"
A scarlet radiance burst forth from Lin Yun’s body, his face constantly changing between light and dark. After a moment, Lin Yun huffed coldly.
At the same time, a blood red light swiftly faded from his body.
"Such strong Spirituality, hiding its true power..."
Lin Yun glanced at the Blood Sword in his hand, shaking it slightly. The blade emitted a soft hum as he quietly remarked.
The moment his hand grasped the hilt of the Blood Sword, an idea dawned upon him and he immediately acted on it.
Just as he had thought, the Blood Sword was incredibly mystical and even capable of a stealth attack.
If his Mental Strength wasn’t extremely potent, he might have been consumed.
This blade was not something a common person could wield.
"Behave, or I won’t hesitate to destroy you." Lin Yun warned in a cold voice.
"Hum—"
The Blood Sword resonated, its crimson radiance flickering as if begging for mercy.
Whoosh—
With a flick of his wrist, Lin Yun stashed the Blood Sword into his trading space.
On the ground lay the corpse of a peak tenth-level martial arts expert, which had been assimilated by the Blood Sword.
However, Lin Yun thought better than to let the Blood Sword absorb the corpse’s essence.
He had a feeling that the Blood Sword was just a whisker away from reaching a higher realm.
Once it achieved that, controlling the Blood Sword would be a difficult task.
He decided against taking that risk.
While the Blood Sword seemed capable of absorbing a significant amount of essence, Qingtian Xuejian had avoided doing so, indicating that the excessive absorption of essence would make the sword difficult to control.
The case of the elderly man in the black cloak served as a prime example.
He would even turn against his own people.
Lin Yun, having the Cosmic Trading System, possessed numerous methods to strengthen himself, and none of them were slow. He didn’t need to make this risky move.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Xia Qingqing held Lin Yun’s arm tightly, asking anxiously.
The others looked on with concern.
"I’m fine."
Lin Yun shook his head slightly and smiled faintly.
He then raised his head to look at the newly appeared young man in black clothing, saying, "As you are at the eleventh realm of martial arts, the Life Realm, I’ll henceforth call you Shengyi."
"With Shengyi comes Shenger, and with Shenger comes Shengsan. From Shengsan, all things were born. Shengyi is a great name! Shengyi thanks the master for naming him!" The young man in black clothing bowed, laughing gaily.
The eleventh realm of martial arts was an extremely pinnacle realm. The young man’s high logical response was proof of this. His words justified this aptly.
Lin Yun merely smiled. The naming was purely a product of his difficulty with naming; he hadn’t put much thought into it.
The ninth realm of martial arts, the Lunar Realm.
The tenth realm of martial arts, the Fierce Sun Realm. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
The Lunar Realm governed Yin, the Fierce Sun Realm governed Yang. The union of Yin and Yang birthed life.
This was the eleventh realm of martial arts, the Life Realm!
Just like the principle of breaking through the Innate Realm to reach the Golden Core Realm!
Cultivation, like a perpetual cycle of reincarnation. They said, when Yin reached its extreme, Yang was born, and vice versa. It was based on that principle.
It’s just about getting stronger step-by-step!
The Life Realm was not about birthing life, but a kind of life force!
Just like earlier when the young man in black clothing unleashed Ten Thousand Dragons with a single word, that surge in power was the effect of the Life Force.
Of course, the "Life Force" utilized by the young man in black clothing was merely an imitation and not the real "Life Force".
Perhaps within the force of life, there truly existed life, but that was beyond Lin Yun’s comprehension!
In the world of cultivation, a saying had always circulated, each representing a different realm.
That was, when one looks at the mountain as a mountain, and the water as water; looking at the mountain as not a mountain, and the water as not water; looking at the mountain still as a mountain, and the water still as water.
Strictly speaking, many things possessed life, it all depended on the perspective and the viewpoint of one’s realm.
Lin Yun had not yet reached the "Realm of Life", so he could not quite comprehend this realm.
"The wedding can no longer continue ..."
Lin Yun looked at the nearly devastated scene, sighed slightly.
"Big brother, it’s alright. The wedding is just a formality." Xia Qingqing comforted intimately.
"Uh huh, after all, the wedding was almost over anyway." Lin Mengmeng nodded.
"Gangzi, Fang Ao, you two handle the affairs of the fallen guests, compensate for what should be compensated." Lin Yun nodded, looking at Zhao Gang and Fang Ao, and said.
Today’s events ultimately arose because of them. If he hadn’t held the wedding, if these people hadn’t attended the wedding, if his wedding hadn’t attracted Qingtian Xuejian and his entourage, these people wouldn’t have died.
He must pay back what he owes, Lin Yun did not want to owe anything in this matter.
"Yes, my Lord." Fang Ao nodded quickly.
Seeing that Lin Yun had such a terrifying entity as Shengyi by his side, he felt more fearful in his heart.
At the same time, he felt more fortunate.
Initially, his brain must have short-circuited when he attacked such a powerful existence as the master’s vessel. Fortunately, the master didn’t hold it against him, healed him, allowed him to follow. Looking back now, his treatment was a result of his accumulation of virtue from many lifetimes.
"Yes, boss." Zhao Gang also nodded.

After Lin Yun greeted the family members from all three sides and other people, he left.
First, he went to retrieve the battleships brought along by Qingtian Xuejian and his party.
There were no other people onboard these battleships, saving Lin Yun the trouble of figuring out how to deal with them.
"A dozen top-tier battleships of a Level Six Civilization, can probably be sold for several hundred billion Spirit Crystals. The low-grade battleship of a Level Seven Civilization can also be sold for tens of billions of Spirit Crystals, which can somewhat compensate for the losses..."
Lin Yun sighed.
In order to purchase Shengyi, he nearly used up all the Spirit Crystals on the Cosmic Trading System, even a lot of other things had to be sold.
If the fight had lasted a bit longer, it would not have been able to withstand the colossal expenditure.
Fortunately, this time, the enemy wasn’t too powerful.
This fight made Lin Yun realize that his strength was still inadequate.
A slight mishap could lead to almost losing control.
He really needed to earn more Spirit Crystals.
Thinking about this, Lin Yun was about to put these battleships up for sale on the Cosmic Trading System.
Suddenly, he had a thought, bringing up another idea.
Soon, he sent a message to Zhao Gang.
Zhao Gang was handling the affairs of the deceased.
Given that the wedding was broadcasted live worldwide, the fight was as well broadcasted worldwide.
Almost everyone knew how powerful Lin Yun and his team were.
Although some people were devastated by the death of their loved ones, they dared not cause trouble for Lin Yun and his team. Instead, they sent representatives to discuss compensation with Zhao Gang and Fang Ao earnestly.
If Lin Yun and his team did not mention compensation, they wouldn’t have dared ask for it.
However, since Lin Yun and his team had said so, they didn’t want to miss the opportunity.
Seeing that Lin Yun’s team was so powerful, they hoped to forge a relationship with them.
Zhao Gang communicated the message from Lin Yun to the people with whom he was negotiating.
Soon, these people seemed very surprised.
A pinnacle level battleship of Level Six Civilization was a very powerful strategic weapon in the Kodis Empire, which generally was hard for various forces to purchase.
The message Lin Yun had Zhao Gang communicate was that he could sell those top-tier battleships of Level Six Civilization and even that low-grade battleship of Level Seven Civilization to them.
Additionally, a discount could be offered.
Getting to know this, they naturally felt overjoyed.
