This mustering took a total of three days.

It wasn't that Lin Yun needed so much time to prepare his strongest attack, but rather, Lin Yun found that as his soul merged with the universe, his understanding in all aspects began to advance by leaps and bounds.

Thus, over these three days, Lin Yun was constantly immersed in cultivation. Originally, he had just broken through to the third level of the Super Realm, and his realm was somewhat unstable. However, now he had completely stabilized it.

His strength did not necessarily increase by much, but when he displayed it, it was more fluid, more at ease, and more enduring.

"The fusion of the soul with the universe, a nice feeling, but this sensation is very effective in the short term, and unnecessary over time..." Lin Yun opened his eyes, chuckled softly, and said.

A prolonged fusion, what had to be comprehended, had already been comprehended, otherwise the soul would be prone to getting lost in the vastness of the universe, and the disadvantages would outweigh the benefits.

"To break through New Layered Heaven... let's see if I can break it now!" The next moment, Lin Yun slowly said, his tone gradually becoming determined.

"Buzz!"

"Swoosh!"

The very next moment, Lin Yun lifted the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand and slashed down fiercely. He had already vaguely sensed the thirty-fourth Layered Heaven of this universe, and now he was striking towards its boundary wall.

"Slash!"

What could be seen was that beneath the Bloodthirsty Sword, a deep black fissure was cleaved open, and streams of robust forces, like a flood breaking through a dam, quickly overflowed and covered into this space.

"This... is it really cracked open?" Seeing this, Lin Yun was also stunned.

Having received the information passed to him by the True Martial Saint Lord, he knew the experiences of the Grand Master Taoist Ancestor and many others in severing New Layered Heaven. It had never been so quick; the fastest took tens of minutes, and the slowest, up to one month, especially when breaking through the thirty-third Layered Heaven—it took a full month and seven days.

Yet all he had done was to wield the Bloodthirsty Sword for delivering the strongest strike, and he had cracked it open?

"This... has it been opened? The thirty-fourth Layered Heaven is broken?" Not far away, the True Martial Saint Lord, witnessing this scene, was also greatly shocked and expressed disbelief.

Unlike Lin Yun, Lin Yun had only understood the process of breaking through New Layered Heaven from the information he uttered, while the True Martial Saint Lord had actually experienced the process of breaking through New Layered Heaven. Therefore, his shock was even greater and more incredulous.

He still remembered that among those dozens of Layered Heavens, most of them were broken through by Grand Master Taoist Ancestor leading them, but there was one Layered Heaven that the Grand Master Taoist Ancestor had broken through alone. Very few disciples witnessed that scene, and he was fortunate enough to be one of them.

At that time, Grand Master Taoist Ancestor used a sword to slash at the void. The first time there was no change in the void, but soon after, the Grand Master Taoist Ancestor unleashed the next attack, followed by a third strike, and finally, around fifteen minutes later, the void was cleaved open with a black fissure like this one. Still, that black fissure was very small.

Then the Grand Master Taoist Ancestor continued to launch powerful attacks, rapidly enlarging that black fissure, and eventually breaking through that layer of New Layered Heaven.

That time, it took a full quarter of an hour. A quarter and a half-hour… compared to a single move… the difference was not merely substantial…

"Boom—"

At this moment, the black fissure Lin Yun had broken rapidly expanded, and an even larger mass of the heaven and earth force poured into this space. It was at this time that the True Martial Saint Lord confirmed that Lin Yun had truly broken through New Layered Heaven with a single move.

"With just one move…" The True Martial Saint Lord felt complex emotions.

He had heard from Grand Master Taoist Ancestor that the stronger the talent and the lower the realm of Cultivators, the less strength they would need to break New Layered Heaven. At this moment, the True Martial Saint Lord realized that although he had taken this seriously, he might have still underestimated it.

Lin Yun's current strength was still far from matching his own before being damaged and certainly was far inferior to that of Grand Master Taoist Ancestor when he initially left.

Yet, even the Grand Master Taoist Ancestor of that time couldn't break through the thirty-fourth Layered Heaven of this universe, and it was not easy even to break through the thirty-third Layered Heaven of this universe back then.

Yet Lin Yun, with such low strength, easily broke through the thirty-fourth Layered Heaven of this universe.

"Back then, Grand Master Taoist Ancestor must have broken through many Layered Heavens with us and absorbed and refined a lot of force from the worlds outside, only to struggle with breaking this new Layered Heaven of the universe alone…" mused the True Martial Saint Lord to himself.

At that time, the strength of Grand Master Taoist Ancestor was still very strong, at least several times stronger than Lin Yun's current strength. But with such strength, Grand Master Taoist Ancestor struggled so much to break one of those earlier Layered Heavens, and it was obviously because of that reason.

This didn't mean that Lin Yun's talents and other qualities had surpassed those of Grand Master Taoist Ancestor.

Of course, this could not deny the incredible extent of Lin Yun's capabilities.

According to what Grand Master Taoist Ancestor once said, it is very difficult for a native powerhouse of a universe to break through a Layered Heaven of that universe alone, especially the last three layers. Anyone who can break through a Layered Heaven of their own universe alone is an extremely talented individual.

Furthermore, someone who can break one of the last three Layered Heavens of a universe is an even more outstanding talent among the talented.

Such a person, once they leave their home universe, could thrive even in the outer worlds. As long as they encounter no mishaps, they are destined to be a powerhouse in their own right.

Now, Lin Yun had broken through one of the last three Layered Heavens of this universe with just a single move, clearly ranking among the best.
