Chapter 878: Not Owing Anyone_Part 2
Therefore, when Langya Saint Lord called out to them, True Martial Saint Lord didn't give Langya Saint Lord any good expression.
However, since they were still brothers in arms, he thought it over and still informed Langya Saint Lord that the three Saint Lord level Ghost Practitioners were soon to pursue them, and advised Langya Saint Lord to leave, knowing that Langya Saint Lord might have been seriously injured and might not sense the oncoming pursuit of the three Saint Lord level Ghost Practitioners.
"Heh..." Listening to True Martial Saint Lord's advice, Langya Saint Lord let out a woeful smile, seemingly thinking of something, shaking his head slightly.
Afterward, Langya Saint Lord looked up, gazing at True Martial Saint Lord, and said word by word, "Originally, Grand Master Taoist Ancestor left the two of us with the plan of having both of us participate in the endeavor to break through the 34th and 35th layers of the universe. What were you thinking in your heart?
Did you plan to participate in the operation to break through the 34th layer of the universe, or did you plan to take part in the operation to break through the 35th layer of the universe? Between these two operations, which one did you intend to leave to me?"
With each shattered New Layered Heaven, the Origin Force obtained from the cosmos would be greater than the combined Origin Force from breaking through all previous layers. Thus, the gains from participating in the shattering of the universe's 34th layer compared to the 35th would be as different as heaven and earth.
True Martial Saint Lord frowned slightly; he hadn't expected that Langya Saint Lord had stopped them to inquire about this matter, and furthermore, wasn't Langya Saint Lord distrustful of what he had said? This matter, this choice, ultimately did not occur! So, what was the point of asking such a question now?
Nevertheless, True Martial Saint Lord still expressed his original thoughts, saying, "I've also thought about this matter time and again. According to what Grand Master Taoist Ancestor said, his friend's reincarnated soul is more than capable of shattering the 34th layer of this universe and might even succeed in breaking through the 35th layer of this universe as well!"
"Following the rule that after breaking one layer and obtaining the Origin Force of the outside great world, the difficulty of destroying a new layer increases greatly, whether it's the 34th or the 35th layer of this universe, if one didn't participate in the shattering of a previous New Layered Heaven, the reincarnated soul of Grand Master Taoist Ancestor's friend would face no issues in breaking through either layer!"
"However, if he participated in shattering the 34th layer of this universe and then took part in breaking the 35th layer, it wouldn't necessarily be a guaranteed success!
Therefore, there's a risk involved; that is, if one of us partakes in the destruction of the 34th layer of the universe, the remaining one may not be able to join Taoist Ancestor's friend's reincarnated soul in shattering the universe's 35th layer and would end up with nothing..."
"So, at that time, I thought I would tell you this matter and let you make your own choice. Later on, developments occurred; the invisible spatial nodes connecting this universe with the Netherworld were destroyed, and Lin Yun emerged. I decided to let Lin Yun break the 34th layer of this universe, and I too am about to leave this universe... Then there would be no need to make a choice.
If the reincarnated soul of Grand Master Taoist Ancestor's friend appears, you can join him in breaking the 35th layer of this universe..."
True Martial Saint Lord quickly transmitted his voice.
"All right, Lin Yun, let's go!" After speaking, True Martial Saint Lord turned his head, looked at Lin Yun, and said.
His current strength was far from matching Lin Yun's, so if they were to leave, it would be necessary for Lin Yun to take him along, as this would allow them to move faster.
"Let me choose for myself? Heh, is that so..." Langya Saint Lord smiled desolately and said.
"Tell me about it when the time comes? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Then, Langya Saint Lord asked another question.
"It ultimately could not be certain whether Grand Master Taoist Ancestor's friend would appear or not. Such a matter is too significant and would certainly have a huge impact on one's state of mind. I was afraid that telling you about it in advance would distract you. In case Grand Master Taoist Ancestor's friend never shows up, you would be disappointed.
It's better to spare oneself from such emotions, as they would not be conducive to future cultivation..." True Martial Saint Lord's words reached from afar, even though he and Lin Yun had already left that space.
"Afraid of my being distracted? Afraid of my disappointment? Heh heh, Senior Brother, you really do think for my sake... You always seem so considerate of me... Why didn't you tell me these things earlier... Why didn't you tell me...
Why... Why..." Langya Saint Lord closed his eyes, letting out a bitter laugh, murmuring to himself.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Langya Saint Lord opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.
The next moment, he turned around and swiftly dashed in the direction ahead.
That direction was, indeed, where the three Saint Lord level Ghost Practitioners lay.
"Sorry for the delay while talking to me, which allowed these Ghost Practitioners to spot you. Let me hold them off for a moment to repay you for this time lost. I, Langya, never owe anyone anything..." Langya Saint Lord said with a determined gaze, speaking coldly.
The speed of a Saint Lord is swift, but the speed of the Saint Lord level is even swifter; when both parties flew towards each other, they soon encountered one another.
"Boom!"
In the starry sky, a great battle instantaneously erupted.
"A high-grade Saint Lord spirit?"
"It's that little fellow who escaped earlier!"
