Lin Yun's breakthrough this time took a total of five days.

After five days, Lin Yun retracted his aura, suddenly opened his eyes, and bursts of sharp light flashed deep within his pupils before quickly disappearing,

"Thank you, True Martial Saint Lord, for protecting me!" Lin Yun stood up, looked at the busy True Martial Saint Lord, and said with a slight smile.

In the later stages of his breakthrough process, knowing that the True Martial Saint Lord was acting as his protector, Lin Yun allowed himself to be a bit more liberal in his movements, and consequently, the True Martial Saint Lord began to busily shield him from the disturbances caused by those movements.

Without the True Martial Saint Lord, Lin Yun would not have dared to be so bold. At the least, it would take around ten days to complete the breakthrough, and there was no guarantee he wouldn't be discovered by some powerful Ghost Practitioners,

However, the True Martial Saint Lord's strength had greatly diminished due to poisoning, and even though Lin Yun had only advanced from the second to the third level of the Super Warriors' Realm, his strength was comparable to a Saint Lord. Naturally, the disturbances caused by his breakthrough were not something ordinary Super Warriors could match.

It was not easy for the True Martial Saint Lord to shield him from these disturbances, and Lin Yun was extremely grateful.

"Lin Yun, have you completed your breakthrough? Congratulations! Your strength has improved by another level!" After finishing a series of incantations, the True Martial Saint Lord turned around, looked at Lin Yun, and said with a smile.

"If it wasn't for the True Martial Saint Lord's protection, I don't know how long it would have taken me to break through!" Lin Yun said gratefully.

"What I did was only a small thing, but the speed of your breakthrough was too fast..." The True Martial Saint Lord waved his hand and then let out a wry smile, as if thinking of something.

Had he known Lin Yun would break through so quickly, he would not have let Lin Yun waste half a day in the thirty-third heaven of the Immortal Origin World initially. If he had provided Lin Yun with resources for cultivating earlier, Lin Yun might have advanced to the third level of the Super Warriors' Realm much sooner.

Then, Lin Yun might have already broken through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe.

If that were the case, they would not have felt so powerless when those Ghost Practitioners suddenly appeared before; they wouldn't have been reduced to fleeing, and the people from both the Immortal Origin World and Earth would not have ended up in such a plight,

Thinking this, he couldn't help but sigh again.

Who could have expected such significant events to occur in such a short time?

One can't buy foresight for all the riches in the world, nor does anyone have the gift of seeing ahead.

Could it simply be fate?

He felt this way once again in his heart,

"Not too bad..." Lin Yun said with an embarrassed smile. He had not witnessed others' breakthroughs and was unsure how many days they would need. He had a general feeling that his own cultivation speed was indeed faster than others,

He initially thought this speed was due to his use of large amounts of high-level resources, or perhaps because he was from the original lands of the Immortal Origin Holy Land and had a powerful talent. But later, after seeing the myriad ordinary Cultivators of the Immortal Origin World and listening to the True Martial Saint Lord's descriptions, he felt it might not be so simple,

As for the specific reasons, he was not entirely clear.

But being able to cultivate so quickly should not be a bad thing,

"How strong are you now?" At that moment, the True Martial Saint Lord asked curiously, his tone carrying a hint of concern.

Now that Lin Yun had broken through to the third level of Super Warriors' Realm, he was expected to prepare for breaking through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe soon. How strong Lin Yun was currently was critically important,

"Let me check," Lin Yun said, equally curious to know,

"Hum! Hum! Hum!"

Then, Lin Yun swiftly formed a series of incantations, starting to set up layer upon layer of defensive formations. His strength was not weak, and if he were to fully unleash it, it would probably cause a disturbance beyond this space. Even just to test his strength simply, the disturbances wouldn't be negligible,

Setting up some defensive formations now to mitigate the disturbances that would follow was thus necessary,

Because he could not afford to be careless with this process, Lin Yun took an hour to finish setting them up,

"Boom!"

Only then did Lin Yun start throwing punches at these defensive formations while simultaneously closing his eyes to sense the force he was exerting,

After dozens of attempts, Lin Yun finally stopped and opened his eyes,

"My current strength, without using the Bloodthirsty Sword, should reach the mid-level realm of a Saint Lord. If I use the Bloodthirsty Sword, I estimate I could hold my own against a higher-level Saint Lord without falling behind..." Lin Yun considered and then said,

His previous strength, although it reached the middle level of the Saint Lord Realm, was so only with the enhancement of the Bloodthirsty Sword. Without it, he was just slightly stronger than a lower-level Saint Lord.

Now, without using the Bloodthirsty Sword, he had elevated directly to a middle-level Saint Lord, which was a tremendous improvement indeed.

"Can I really exchange blows with an upper-level Saint Lord without falling short?" the True Martial Saint Lord's eyes brightened, and he said this with great joy.

Although this result was within his expectations, he had been very worried before it was confirmed because he knew that Lin Yun's original strength was enhanced by the Bloodthirsty Sword. However, such external enhancements were not applicable at every realm.

If Lin Yun's realm were to improve further and the Bloodthirsty Sword could not continue to amplify his power to the corresponding extent, then Lin Yun's strength might not necessarily compare with that of an upper-level Saint Lord—it might be far less.

The current outcome was very satisfactory.

"Yes, with this strength, can I break through the thirty-fourth Layered Heaven of this universe?" Lin Yun nodded and said.

"For the action of breaking through the New Layered Heaven, you can use weapons and treasures. There is no problem with you using the Bloodthirsty Sword. As for whether you can break through, I estimate there should be no problem.

According to my reasoning, when you were at the second level of the Super Warrior Realm, you already stood a great chance of breaking through the thirty-fourth Layered Heaven of this universe. However, just to be safe, I had you break through to the third level of the Super Warrior Realm before undertaking this task," the True Martial Saint Lord nodded and said.

"I understand, so now I can try to break through the thirty-fourth Layered Heaven of this universe? Do I need to make any preparations?" Lin Yun nodded again and asked.

"Set up a few more defensive formations. Before breaking through the thirty-fourth Layered Heaven of this universe, try not to let the disturbance here get out. Also, be prepared to escape at any moment.

When the thirty-fourth Layered Heaven is breached, it is highly likely that the Ghost Practitioners will discover the commotion here, and we must be ready to flee at any time..." The True Martial Saint Lord said with a light smile.

"Alright!" Lin Yun said with a wry smile.

According to the True Martial Saint Lord, every individual capable of breaking through the New Layered Heaven is a peerless genius of a universe, who generally leads an era or even multiple eras, sweeping through countless talented and powerful figures...

In normal circumstances, who would dare provoke such a figure after they break through the New Layered Heaven of their universe?

For him, however, to be prepared to flee immediately after the breakthrough... was probably rare!

After that, Lin Yun composed his mind, closed his eyes, and stopped pondering further.

A day later, various defensive formations were set up.

"Hum!"

Lin Yun extended his hand, and the Bloodthirsty Sword appeared in his grip.

Lifting the sword towards the heavens, the Bloodthirsty Sword immediately began to hum vibrantly. Lin Yun faintly sensed the sword's excitement.

"All things have spirit; inside the Bloodthirsty Sword resides a spirituality, it can also be considered a life form. After I break through the thirty-fourth Layered Heaven of this universe, I wonder if the Bloodthirsty Sword could also gain some advantages. If it could also reap some benefits, it wouldn't be a problem.

The Bloodthirsty Sword has aided me many times; this time could be considered a repayment…" With his eyes closed, Lin Yun thought to himself silently.

This was something he was uncertain of, for fundamentally, cosmic rules don't permit two life forms to break through a new Layered Heaven of the universe together.

However, upon consulting the True Martial Saint Lord, he said that the spirituality within the Bloodthirsty Sword was not an impediment, and Lin Yun could hold the Bloodthirsty Sword to break through the New Layered Heaven of this universe together.

The True Martial Saint Lord, however, was unclear if the Bloodthirsty Sword could reap any benefits, because in the past, their actions of breaking through the New Layered Heaven had been led by the Taoist Ancestor Er Lee, and the benefits they received afterward were distributed by the Taoist Ancestor Er Lee.

At that time, they didn't utilize any weapons, and it was unclear whether the Taoist Ancestor Er Lee had distributed the benefits that descended to any of the weapons.

Lin Yun began to gather force.

In fact, there was no intricate trick to breaking through a new Layered Heaven of a universe.

First, one's entire soul must integrate with the cosmos.

Second, unleash the strongest strike and strike fiercely at the space before you.

The second task is not difficult, as many strong figures often exert their greatest power in battle.

The secret lies in the first task.

This kind of soul integration normally cannot be achieved. Under ordinary conditions, it is only vaguely perceivable during breakthroughs, and if not seized promptly, it may be lost at any moment.

Thus, even if some peerless geniuses possess the strength, they still might not be able to break through a New Layered Heaven, as both strength and luck are required for this opportunity to arise.

What was handed down by the Taoist Ancestor Er Lee was precisely the method of integrating one's soul with the cosmos.
