Powerful spirits, if devoured by them, would signify a formidable boost in strength!
Many Ghost Practitioners naturally didn’t want to miss out!
Therefore, they began looking for other methods!
Each universe is invisibly connected to the Netherworld, even a universe may have many spatial nodes invisibly linked to the Netherworld; however, under normal circumstances, these spatial nodes are extremely difficult to open, especially from the side of the Netherworld!
However, there is yin and yang in everything…
If a spatial node were opened, then it could be used as a reference to find another more easily opened spatial node, the two spaces corresponding and combining.
These Ghost Practitioners, this was the method they used to open this spatial node!
Earth is also located in the Immortal Origin World, actually one of the spatial nodes that is invisibly connected with the Netherworld!
This point, Er Lee might have known as well!
Initially, his being born on Earth could have been a coincidence… but his ultimate belief that Earth was where his friend’s reincarnated body was most likely to descend, was definitely not by chance!
However, under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to open a spatial node from the Netherworld side that connects to a universe with spirits; perhaps that’s why Mr. Lee didn’t pay much attention to this matter, nor did he pass down this information!
“Scram!”
Lin Yun barked a command, and with a sweep of his sword, many of the charging Ghost Practitioners were slain by him. Anyone below the Sanctuary realm was but an ant, and although Lin Yun was also of the second layer of the super realm, he possessed the strength of a mid-level Saint Lord, far surpassing these super realm Ghost Practitioners as opponents.
With one swing of his sword, Lin Yun killed three super realm Ghost Practitioners, along with many eleven and twelve-level ones.
At the same time, Lin Yun raised his hand and collected the grey Crystal Cores left behind by those deceased Ghost Practitioners, a habit he formed while dealing with them inside the Heavenly Principle Tower.
Within the Heavenly Principle Tower, he only encountered Ghost Practitioners in the earlier spaces; he knew they had such treasures within them. Sadly, later on, he was no longer able to encounter any Ghost Practitioners.
Now, the manner in which these Ghost Practitioners emerged was bafflingly abrupt and quite unlike the method of nurturing talent within the Heavenly Principle Tower, he wasn’t too sure whether these Ghost Practitioners had these Crystals within them.
He was simply taking advantage of the situation to search, not expecting to actually find them.
Nevertheless, upon seeing these Crystals, Lin Yun couldn’t help but be slightly startled.
Because he found that these grey Crystals, were all much larger than the ones he obtained within the space of the Heavenly Principle Tower.
It wasn’t because some Ghost Practitioners were of a higher realm; in fact, the realms of those he had slain in the tower were not low either. Rather, the same realm Ghost Practitioners had much larger grey Crystals within them.
They were approximately ten times the size of those belonging to the same level Ghost Practitioners he encountered in the Heavenly Principle Tower.
“Never mind that, I need to find the True Martial Saint Lord first!” 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Quickly, Lin Yun stopped pondering over this matter and continued hurrying towards the direction of the True Martial Saint Lord.
Finally, Lin Yun arrived at the location of the True Martial Saint Lord and saw him.
At this moment, the True Martial Saint Lord was in a disheveled state, weakly and strenuously fending off an attack from a lower Saint Lord level Ghost Practitioner.
The previous heavy blow from the Langya Saint Lord and his company had indeed severely injured the True Martial Saint Lord. Normally possessing the strength of an upper Saint Lord level, he now found it very difficult to deal with a lower Saint Lord level Ghost Practitioner.
Thankfully, perhaps because the aura of the True Martial Saint Lord was too weak, it hadn’t attracted those top-tier Ghost Practitioners, and only a lower Saint Lord level Ghost Practitioner made a move.
Nevertheless, this lower Saint Lord level Ghost Practitioner clearly realized there was something different about the True Martial Saint Lord and appeared extremely excited; its somewhat ethereal face became even more contorted.
Perhaps fearful of other Ghost Practitioners noticing, unlike other Ghost Practitioners who would scream loudly while killing, this one suppressed its voice and attacked the True Martial Saint Lord swiftly, obviously wanting to overcome him quickly.
This was a Saint Lord level creature after all!
If it could devour this Saint Lord level being, its realm could at least rise by one level, advancing to a mid-level Ghost Saint realm, and even the upper Ghost Saint realms wouldn’t be too far off!
Its status and standing would leap by many times!
Without extraordinary opportunities, it might never reach that level in its lifetime, and now hope was right in front of its eyes in just a short amount of time, how could it not be excited?
It needed to quickly slay this Saint Lord being, lest other powerful Ghost Practitioners take notice!
Perhaps it was the abrupt arrival in the world of the living, with countless spirits appearing before them, and with many Saint realm spirits in this space, all the Ghost Practitioner powerhouses were dazzled as if, during this time, there was no intention of teaming up to take down a powerful spirit, unless they happened to run into one by chance!
Food was everywhere; why should they fight with their fellows for it?
If not in this space, wouldn’t there be more if they traveled further?
They subconsciously thought this was an open universe, supposed to have many powerful creatures. From their arrival here, seeing so many Saint realm spirits, it proved this point; they also understood the rules of the spirit universe, an unopened universe can’t sustain Saints for long, in a small space of an unopened universe, how could there be so many Saint realm spirits?
They had come to catch the strong beings of the spirit universe off guard, swiftly devouring a few strong spirits before returning to the Netherworld!
Perhaps being too focused, too excited, that lower Ghost Saint locked in combat with the True Martial Saint Lord didn’t even notice Lin Yun’s arrival, or maybe it did, but deemed a second-layer super realm being as insignificant and unworthy of attention.
Only when Lin Yun, wielding the Bloodthirsty Sword, let his sword cleave through, shattering all its defenses and about to land on it, did it realize Lin Yun’s strength was amiss and panic began to set in.
“You… you’re not a super realm human…” the Ghost Practitioner said in horror, but before it could continue, its voice was drowned out by Lin Yun’s onslaught.
