Cosmic Trading System

The Blood Sword, truly an exceptional demonic tool.

After the breakthrough, within just a dozen or so breaths, it stabilized this realm.

The Blood Sword had the ability to absorb and refine the forces of heaven and earth, then input these forces into Lin Yun's body, saving him a considerable amount of time refining the forces of heaven and earth himself.

Lin Yun's reaction to the world after breaking through to the tenth level disappeared after a mere dozen breaths.

This left the surrounding people momentarily stunned and somewhat perplexed.

Generally, the reaction of the world to a breakthrough from the ninth to the tenth level would last at least half an hour or even an hour. So what did a mere dozen breaths count as?

Could it be that Ling Yun didn't break through to the tenth level just now?

Some people were confused.

Or perhaps... Lin Yun had concentrated the world's reaction to breaking through from the ninth level to the tenth level altogether, resulting in such a large commotion in such a short amount of time?

Some people even speculated this way.

"It must be."

"We don't know where he came from, but his means are truly incomprehensible. He can even control the extent and duration of the world's reaction during a breakthrough. This would be very useful in a crucial moment. Otherwise, if you needed to break through in a crisis and spent a lot of time, what would the outcome be?"

Some people nodded in agreement.

They couldn't be blamed for thinking this way. The commotion caused by Lin Yun's breakthrough was too great, beyond their imagination. It seemed that only this explanation could make sense.

"Hum—hum—" Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire

In the cultivation room, the Blood Sword in Lin Yun's hand vibrated cheerfully.

Not only had Lin Yun broken through, so had the sword.

"Huh?"

Lin Yun's face suddenly changed.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Very strong murderous thoughts suddenly surged along the blood sword into his mind, making his eyes turn a bit red.

Just after breaking through to the tenth level and stabilizing his realm, though the Blood Sword had also broken through, there was no major reaction. It was at this moment that his guard was the most relaxed.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the murderous thoughts transmitted by the Blood Sword suddenly increased greatly, far exceeding what was preceding.

"No, I can't endure this murderous thought for long!"

Lin Yun made a quick decision. With a thought, he immediately stored the Blood Sword in the trading space.

The Blood Sword was of a high level, and normal space items couldn't contain it.

However, the Cosmic Trading System's trading space was also of a high level, and there was no problem in putting the Blood Sword in it.

As Lin Yun put the Blood Sword into the trading space, a massive stream of murderous thoughts quickly retreated from his mind.

"Little White and Little Blue..."

Lin Yun hurriedly connected his mental strength to the trading space and then probed the Blood Sword.

The Blood Sword had suddenly behaved as such, and he feared some mishap might have happened to Little White and Little Blue inside it.

"You dare to plot against big brother!"

"So despicable!"

Inside the Blood Sword, the two childish voices of Little White and Little Blue sounded, full of anger.

"Hum—hum—hum—"

Then, one blue, one white, and one blood-red light group quickly started chasing each other inside the Blood Sword again.

"Little White, Little Blue, are you guys alright? If not, exit the Blood Sword immediately!" Lin Yun's face changed color continuously as he asked worriedly.

"Brother, don't worry, we're fine. Humph, this spirit dare to scheme against big brother, we'll teach it a good lesson!" Little White replied indignantly.

"Brother, don't worry!" Little Blue also spoke.

"Alright, your safety is the most important. If it's hard to deal with, come out." Lin Yun sighed in relief and slightly nodded.

Little Blue was usually the more steady one. Since even Little Blue said not to worry, then there should be nothing to worry about. The spirit in the Blood Sword must have a certain gap compared to Little White and Little Blue.

Minutes passed like this.

During this time, Lin Yun asked several times, and each time, Little White and Little Blue both said that they were fine. However, the spirit was cunning and ran fast, so they had a hard time catching it.

Lin Yun stopped paying attention to this matter.

He lifted his head to look at the starry sky outside, projected by the battleship's detection device.

Mingdu's robotic subordinates were still engaged in battle with the Golden Beast.

The Golden Beast had become even weaker.

Throughout this time, Mingdu had tried to persuade the Golden Beast to surrender several times, but it ignored him.

It seems this battle wouldn't end anytime soon.

"Now, I've reached the early stages of the tenth level. Judging from my previous rate of exceeding levels, my current strength should be at least on par with a mid-level strength of the eleventh level, even reaching the later stages of the eleventh level. However, it's not definite yet. It's said that there is a huge gap between the tenth and eleventh levels.

Ten peak strength beings of the tenth level could not compete with an early eleventh level one. This hasn't been the case with the disparities between previous levels..."

Lin Yun pondered.

If that were the case, he barely had the qualifications to fight against Mingdu and his party.

That Blood Sword... could enhance one's strength...

If his strength actually reached the later stages of the eleventh level, combined with the Blood Sword, his strength would be truly formidable.

"However, if the Blood Sword can be avoided, it should be avoided," Lin Yun mused in his heart.

The Blood Sword, after the breakthrough, was truly powerful, as he had come to realize.

Moreover, this Blood Sword was quite crafty, resorting to sneak attacks and betrayals. When he first investigated it, it had sneak attacked him once, and it just duped him again.

If he was only using this Blood Sword, it was like holding onto a ticking time bomb.

What if, in the midst of battle, the sword suddenly sneak attacks him? He would be caught off guard.

Therefore, if he can avoid using this Blood Sword, he should.

However, he estimated that his current strength was unlikely to have reached the later stages of level eleven. Even the likelihood of reaching the mid-level of eleven was not high.

Because, the gap between the tenth and eleventh levels was way too big.

"Shengyi, Shenger."

Lin Yun sent a message to Shengyi and Shenger.

He should let Shengyi and Shenger come over, and test his strength with them.

"Master."

Shengyi and Shenger teleported over, respectfully responding.

"Shenger, let's have a little spar. Shengyi, you just stand by and control the situation as much as possible, so the battle fluctuations don't leak out," Lin Yun said.

"Yes, Master."

Shengyi and Shenger nodded.

Quickly, the three of them teleported to a larger martial arts field.

"Huff...huff...huff..."

"Bang...bang...bang..."

On the martial arts field, Lin Yun and Shenger darted around rapidly, swiftly exchanging blows.

After around ten minutes, Lin Yun stopped.

Shenger had already summed up Lin Yun's current strength and passed it on to him.

"As expected, my current strength is just on par with an early eleventh-level cultivator. I forgot about the effect of enhancing mental strength on increasing my power..."

Lin Yun smiled slightly bitterly.

His previous ability to compete against such higher levels was greatly due to his strong mental strength.

His mental strength level was almost always higher than his opponent's cultivation level.

Now, his mental strength had only just reached the peak of the tenth level.

Although, compared to his current early tenth-level state, it wasn't weak.

But compared to the level eleven cultivators, he had no advantage anymore.

Even if he encountered some stronger early eleventh-level cultivators, like those whose mental strength reached the lower echelons of level eleven, Lin Yun wouldn't stand a chance.

That's when Lin Yun's mental strength would not be suppressing his opponents, but the other way round.

"To improve the mental strength from the peak of level ten to the lower echelons of level eleven, it needs close to fifty trillion Spirit Crystals..." Lin Yun shook his head.

Even if he sold all the battleships of the Kodis Royal Family that he had just acquired, plus the Spirit Crystals he had left, he couldn't amass this quantity.

"I'm still too weak..."

Lin Yun frowned, murmuring to himself.

Could he only hope for that Blood Sword?

Earlier, the Blood Sword conveyed a very strong killing intent. His promotion in the tenth level was not a small one, and the blood energy required for that should be a lot. He was afraid that if he promoted once more, the Blood Sword would become even stronger, and have a larger impact on him.

He had already used the Blood Sword to enhance his realm by four levels, and it was not without consequences. On the contrary, he felt a large impact. he had to concentrate a lot of energy to suppress these negative effects.

At this time, for every level he advanced using the Blood Sword, he would feel immense pressure.

"No good, brother..."

"Brother..."

Just then, the innocent voices of Little White and Little Blue suddenly echoed within the Blood Sword, seeming somewhat panicked.
