There were things he couldn't say, after all, this was Lin Yun's personal vendetta, and it wasn't his place to decide. Since Lin Yun could let go of these matters, it was a good opportunity for him to follow through on certain promises, thereby bolstering the force to counterattack the Langya Saint Lord and the Ancestors of the three major families of the Human Race.

Anyway, he had never planned to kill those Sanctuary powerhouses. If those six Sanctuary powerhouses could come to their senses, he wasn't unwilling to spare them.

He didn't blame Lin Yun for refusing to let the other three Saint Lords go, in fact, he thought it was a rather good approach.

If Lin Yun said he could spare all nine Saint Lords, not only would it cast doubt in their hearts about the credibility of Lin Yun's words, but their actions would become united rather than divided into two camps as now. Without unity, it would be tough for them to bring their power to bear in one place.

"Lin Yun's words, as well as True Martial's, are also my words!" At that moment, the Holy Mother, who was not far away, spoke up as well.

"This..."

With the Holy Mother's words, those six Saint Lords grew even more tempted.

"Leaders of the Sea Clan, the Hundred Flowers Clan... you..."

Before the six Saint Lords could agree, the Ancestors from the Firestone, Aolai, and Eternal Life clans were already scared stiff, distancing themselves from the six Saint Lords and covertly exerting a great deal of energy to stay on guard while also warning each other.

They were currently allied with the six Saint Lords in attacking Lin Yun. If those six Saint Lords were to turn on them suddenly, they would be caught off guard and undoubtedly suffer serious injuries, so naturally, they dared not be careless.

"Foolishness! You have all lived for countless years as top figures! How can you not see through such a childish scheme of discord? At this time, only by joining forces can we overcome this crisis and seize this opportunity! If you allow fractures to develop among you, we will certainly perish without a doubt!" bellowed the Langya Saint Lord, his face red with rage upon witnessing this scene.

At that moment, he deeply regretted his actions.

Previously, to convince these Saint Lords to follow him and jointly breach the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe, he had deliberately not concealed the strength of the many Sanctuary powerhouses from Immortal Origin Holy Land, even displaying a hint of boastfulness.

Included were how the True Martial Saint Lord had already reached the Saint Lord Realm and how Taoists Ancestor Er Lee could defeat dozens of their Sanctuary powerhouses if they joined forces.

All of this was to let these Saint Lords know just how substantial their gains would be after breaching the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe and how bright their future would be, reinforcing their unwavering decision to follow him.

For this purpose, he didn't hesitate to belittle himself, to elevate others, and to exaggerate the benefits of the whole affair.

However, he didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot, making these Saint Lords so wary of the True Martial Saint Lord, so wary of the once formidable Er Lee, and even wary of Lin Yun and the Holy Mother.

In this moment, he couldn't help but rage and explode.

"Never mind whether the words of Lin Yun, the Holy Mother, and True Martial are true or false, what sense does it make to let others dictate your destiny? It's always better to be in charge yourself! You might not realize, after we break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe, how much energy bestowed by heaven and earth we will receive, how much our innate strength will improve!

That is far more than the sum of all the energy from heaven and earth we received when Er Lee led us to break through more than a dozen heavens thousands of years ago!"

"Back then, that energy from heaven and earth could create dozens of Sanctuary powerhouses, even a few Saint Lords, and even the incredibly formidable Er Lee achieved his status through that! When we receive many times more energy bestowed by heaven and earth, our strength will likely reach at least the Saint Lord Realm, if not even higher realms..."

"At that time, if we join forces, even if we face Er Lee, what of it? Our strength will far surpass what it is now; maybe Er Lee won't even be able to sense our thoughts, let alone have any conflict with him!"

"The outside world is vast, the universe infinite. Er Lee can't cover the sky with one hand. As long as we leave this universe within a certain range, we'll have the freedom of the vast sky and ocean, won't we? We'll receive a great deal of Origin Force from this universe, and that will grant us even more fortune and fate.

As we enter a better environment and as more time passes, who will be stronger or weaker between us and Er Lee is still uncertain!"

The Langya Saint Lord spoke hurriedly.

"Right, those energies bestowed by heaven and earth, that Origin Force from this universe, we cannot miss out on it..."

"Far surpassing the heaven and earth energy we received when Er Lee led us to break through more than a dozen heavens thousands of years ago..."

"At the very least, the Saint Lord Realm, or even reaching a higher realm!"

"We will have the freedom of the vast sky and ocean!"

"Correct, once our strength is improved, even Er Lee might not be able to sense our exact thoughts. He can't just kill us on a whim, can he?"

Listening to the Langya Saint Lord's words, those Saint Lords gradually came to their senses and muttered to themselves in agreement.

They were all top powerhouses of this universe, with all thoughts flashing through their minds in an instant. Quickly, they made their decisions.

"Langya Saint Lord, rest assured, we are not the kind of scoundrels who would betray our word!"

"We are no match for Lin Yun. Langya Saint, quickly kill the True Martial Saint Lord, then let's join forces to cut down Lin Yun and the Holy Mother!"

"Then, the entire universe will be under our control, and breaking through the thirty-fourth heaven will be a piece of cake, won't it?"

The group of Saint Lords assured in a hurry.

"Boom! Boom!"

The next moment, they hesitated no longer and attacked Lin Yun with all their might.

With their actions, they demonstrated their determination. They were no fools, and they knew that only by doing this would the leaders of the Firestone, Eternal Life, and Aolai clans trust them.

Only if the nine of them joined forces would they stand a chance against Lin Yun.

Even, to avoid bearing the grudge of the clan leaders from the Firestone, Eternal Life, and Aolai families, as well as the Langya Saint Lord, for their previous hesitation, they attacked with even more ferocity than before.

"What a pity..."

Witnessing this scene, Lin Yun sighed inwardly.

Just a moment ago, he had seized a series of opportunities to severely injure the leaders of two of the Firestone, Eternal Life, and Aolai families. To avoid alarming the other six Saint Lords, he had restrained his actions to not be too forceful.

But just as he was about to achieve his goal, those six Saint Lords' rebellious thoughts had suddenly vanished, and their intensifying attacks disrupted his plan, forcing him to fully defend against the combined assault from the nine Saint Lords, unable to inflict serious damage on any of them.

Otherwise, with him regaining control of the various arrays within the Immortal Origin World, once he had seriously injured two Saint Lords, the remaining seven would have been much easier to handle.
