"Indeed, the Ghost Practitioner Crystal Core is also a kind of heaven-defying treasure. Since you dual cultivate in the spiritual and Martial Arts disciplines, it will greatly enhance your strength. Previously, I had obtained some as well. I was planning to give them to you while you used the power of the Immortal Origin World to cultivate.

Now that you have obtained a Saint Lord-level Ghost Practitioner Crystal Core, there's no need. That Saint Lord-level Ghost Practitioner Crystal Core will definitely have an extremely powerful effect..." True Martial Saint Lord's eyes lit up as he spoke.

As for the bits and pieces of thousand-year-old Immortal Origin World power that Lin Yun said he found, True Martial Saint Lord didn't care much about them. That kind of power is only useful in large quantities; it's not much use in small amounts.

By comparison, the Saint Lord-level Ghost Practitioner Crystal Core that Lin Yun just obtained was much better.

"Boom!"

Just then, not far from where they were, amidst the gray fog, another explosion suddenly occurred, and at the same time, the speed at which the gray fog expanded increased by many times. In just an instant, it had halved the distance between itself and Lin Yun and True Martial Saint Lord.

This startled both Lin Yun and True Martial Saint Lord, making them quickly retreat a good distance once more.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

"Haha! We've finally made it over!"

"This time we must kill to our heart's content!"

At that moment, three loud roars of Ghost Practitioners came from deep within the gray fog, shaking the heavens and earth.

"Three Saint Lord-level Ghost Practitioners? This isn't good, we must leave quickly!"

True Martial Saint Lord's face changed drastically as he urgently spoke.

Indeed, even more powerful Ghost Practitioners had appeared at the channel connecting to the Netherworld. The strength of a Saint Lord was many times greater than that of an average Saint Lord, and with three Saint Lord-level Ghost Practitioners, even if True Martial Saint Lord were at full strength, he would still have to back away.

If they didn't leave quickly and caught the attention of their enemies, even outside the gray fog, they could easily be taken down by them.

Escape! They must escape swiftly! Otherwise, they were certain to die without a doubt!

"Alright!"

Hearing the Great roars of those three Ghost Practitioners, Lin Yun faintly sensed that their strength was incredibly terrifying, and he promptly agreed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The next moment, he quickly fled to a far place with True Martial Saint Lord!

"Bang! Bang!"

"No! Help!"

"True Martial Saint Lord, save us!"

At that time, Lin Yun sensed that two or three of the nine Saints had escaped the gray fog. As soon as they got out, they were caught by powerful forces and cried out in agony for help. One even called out to True Martial Saint Lord, obviously having noticed him and True Martial Saint Lord, which made Lin Yun both irritated and amused.

Amusing because had they forgotten what they had just done to True Martial Saint Lord? They had seriously tried to kill him! Now they were pleading for help from True Martial Saint Lord, and Lin Yun couldn't fathom what they were thinking!

But it was irritating since their shouting probably drew the attention of the Ghost Practitioner powerhouses to them. If those three Saint Lord Realm Ghost Practitioners targeted them, both he and True Martial Saint Lord would be in danger.

However, before Lin Yun could continue to resent them, he sensed that those few Saints who had escaped were quickly killed by the Ghost Practitioner powerhouses, and at the same time, they were discovered by them.

"Heh heh, these are my prey!"

A mocking laugh rang out, and a massive aura rapidly approached them. It was one of the three Saint Lord-level Ghost Practitioners that Lin Yun and True Martial Saint Lord had just sensed.

"This is bad!"

Lin Yun's face turned pale; originally, their location, hit by a powerful spatial force, was unsuitable for teleportation and translocation. Although they could still forcibly activate it, the distance covered would be limited. He had planned to get further away before using teleportation and translocation, which would be twice as effective.

But now, there was no time to consider that as he promptly teleported away from that space, taking True Martial Saint Lord with him.

However... just like he had sensed earlier, they only managed to teleport a short distance before reappearing.

"Bang!"

The moment they reappeared, a terrifying force attacked them. Obviously, the Saint Lord-level Ghost Practitioner had anticipated where they would teleport to and had caught up to them.

Lin Yun and True Martial Saint Lord were immediately thrown out.

Lin Yun felt his blood churning inside his body and could tell he had suffered serious injuries.

True Martial Saint Lord also coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.

At that moment, Lin Yun was filled with regret. If only he had known, he and True Martial Saint Lord should have left immediately after leaving the gray fog without any delay.

It was his mistake, thinking that after leaving the gray fog, they were no longer in too much danger and could leave at any time. This brief pause allowed the three Saint Lord-level Ghost Practitioners to appear and caused their current predicament.

Now, with one Saint Lord-level Ghost Practitioner already overpowering them, if all three Saint Lord-level Ghost Practitioners attacked them together... They would surely die.

"Eh? A being of Saint Lord Realm with strength lesser than an ordinary Saint Lord? A being at a supreme realm yet possessing the strength of a mid-level Saint Lord?" At that moment, the Saint Lord-level Ghost Practitioner noticed something unusual about Lin Yun and True Martial Saint Lord and couldn't help expressing surprise.

Following that, his eyes showed great interest and excitement. Forget about the little guy at the supreme realm, just consuming this being of the Saint Lord Realm would undoubtedly greatly increase his strength.

Heaven had been kind to him; he had just entered this universe and stumbled upon such a magnificent gift.

Seeing the excited expression of the Saint Lord-level Ghost Practitioner, Lin Yun's heart filled with bitterness. Being targeted with such interest, it seemed that this time they really wouldn't be able to escape.

"Die!"

But giving up without a fight wasn't Lin Yun's style. He swung the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand and, with a furious shout, counterattacked the Saint Lord-level Ghost Practitioner.

With one with the sword, they united, a dazzling force of blood emanated from the Bloodthirsty Sword, attacking the Saint Lord-level Ghost Practitioner and maximizing both the sword's and Lin Yun's power.

"This... could this be... the Blood Prison Sword of the Blood Emperor?" However, to Lin Yun's surprise, when the Saint Lord-level Ghost Practitioner saw the Bloodthirsty Sword being activated, his face changed dramatically, and he looked horrified as he exclaimed.
