"Origin Force of both realms?" Lin Yun thought of that mysterious energy and hesitated slightly, "Perhaps, I should have absorbed it all..."

Actually, he had absorbed all of that mysterious energy not long after he broke through the thirty-fourth Layer of this universe; thereafter, he had been absorbing and refining the ordinary forces of the universe.

In fact, this was somewhat different from what the True Martial Saint Lord had imagined because, originally, they had followed the Taoist Ancestor Er Lee in breaking through the new Layered Heavens of the universe. In truth, they had used a technique to conceal their actions from the heavens.

Moreover, the Taoist Ancestor Er Lee also had to distribute that mysterious energy, so their process of obtaining it was very slow.

"You absorbed it all? Are you certain?" the True Martial Saint Lord asked in surprise.

"At the time..." Lin Yun recounted the situation to the True Martial Saint Lord.

"Based on what you've described, that mysterious energy must be the Origin Force of both realms unquestionably. Could it be that the speed of the Origin Force's descent is equivalent to the speed of breaking through this universe's new Layered Heavens? That's not right either.

When we broke through the thirty-third layer of this universe, it took us over a month, and we only spent about half a day absorbing and refining the Origin Force..." the True Martial Saint Lord mused.

Could it be related to Lin Yun's talent and realm? Because Lin Yun's talent was strong and his realm low, did the great laws of this universe show him favor, causing the Origin Force to descend so rapidly? Or could it be related to Lin Yun breaking through a new Layer of the universe by himself?

However, now was not the time to ponder such matters!

"The situation is urgent. Since you have absorbed the Origin Force of both realms, let's quickly leave this place..." Thinking thus, the True Martial Saint Lord hastily said.

"Alright!" Lin Yun nodded.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The next moment, Lin Yun released a powerful force that enveloped the True Martial Saint Lord, and they both sped off into the distance.

...

Just as the space where Lin Yun and the True Martial Saint Lord were located was torn open, strong tremors were also felt across the universe.

Many of the top spirits were shocked as they looked up in the direction of the space where Lin Yun and the True Martial Saint Lord had been, faintly sensing that something significant had happened there.

"Such a commotion, could it be that another space channel has appeared between the Netherworld and our universe?"

"Just two space channels have already brought upon us a great calamity. If another one appears, I fear it won't be long before our universe is completely covered by the Yin attribute forces of the Netherworld, transforming our universe entirely into Nether territory..."

Many spirits voiced their bitterness.

Such a disturbance had occurred twice before; each time a space channel connecting the Netherworld and their universe was opened, totaling two channels. Now, with such a disturbance happening again, how could they not feel panic?

The strongest among them were merely lower-level Saint Lords. Previously... there had been a lower-level Saint Lord who, due to his immense talent and after absorbing some Ghost Practitioner Crystal Cores, had broken through to the middle-level Saint Lord Realm!

But what of it?

The Ghost Practitioners of the Netherworld were simply too powerful. That lower-level Saint Lord, after advancing to the middle-level Saint Lord Realm and feeling confident and spirited, approached a Ghost Practitioner with gusto, only to be captured in one move and then devoured!

That's when they realized just how formidable the Ghost Practitioners of the Netherworld were!

"It's infuriating. The betrayal of the Langya Saint Lord from the Immortal Origin Holy Land poisoned the True Martial Saint Lord, crippling his strength and leaving his fate unknown... Otherwise, our universe wouldn't have fallen into such an indefensible state.

For such a long time, we haven't found any news of the True Martial Saint Lord, and it's very possible that he has fallen into the hands of those Ghost Practitioners of the Netherworld..."

"The Langya Saint Lord is the greatest sinner of our universe!"

"It was a grave mistake for the Taoist Ancestor to take him as a disciple!"

"Speaking of the Taoist Ancestor, if the saints from the Immortal Origin Holy Land hadn't departed and if the Taoist Ancestor were here, how could those Ghost Practitioners of the Netherworld have dared to be so arrogant?"

"Indeed! It would have just taken a few thousand years earlier... merely thousands of years..."

"Isn't it all because of the three major clans Firestone, Eternal Life, and Aolai? If they hadn't opened the channel between the Netherworld and our universe, how could this have happened..."

"The Firestone, Eternal Life, and Aolai clans are detestable. If they hadn't hidden so swiftly, we would capture and exterminate all of their clan members without question..."

At this point, these strong spirits all knew what had happened to the Immortal Origin Holy Land. Mentioning the Langya Saint Lord, they were filled with indignation; recalling the Immortal Origin Holy Land, they were filled with regret; and speaking of the Firestone, Eternal Life, and Aolai clans, they were filled with murderous intent.

At the same time.

"What is that noise?"

"What's happening in this universe?"

The Ghost Practitioner powerhouses were equally stunned as they looked toward the disturbance that came from afar.

Unlike the strong spirits of this universe, they were well aware that the space channels connecting their universe and the Netherworld had already been opened twice. Without a particularly coincidental event, it was almost impossible for a third channel to materialize any time soon.

So, this disturbance might very well be caused by something happening within the universe itself.

"This disturbance doesn't seem to result from a clash between powerhouses, and this universe should not have such formidable spirits. I feel that the space of this universe seems to be undergoing a change... could it be that a new Layer of this universe has just been broken through?"
