Solo against 13 founding emperors
"Don't be in a hurry, boy. Continuous training will not produce good results. On the contrary, a person should take breaks from time to time. Just like with you, you have trained for 18,072 years, so you should rest a bit," Old San said.
"As you wish, but I have a question that I hope you can answer," said Lin Hai.
"I know what you want to ask, you want to know why I've been here for 18,072 years but you're still young and you don't see any traces of your age, right?" Old San said.
"Yes, exactly, I have been here for 18,072 years, plus the 20 years of my age, so I should now be 18,092 years old, and yet I am still young, how is that?" Lin Hai asked.
"You should know that the Abyss of Bones is not subject to the natural laws of time. It has its own time and place and its own laws. It is like a separate world. Do you understand?"
"So you say that time is sealed in the abyss of bones, or the 18,072 years I've been here have only gone a second outside, or what?" Lin Hai asked.
"Half of what you said is true and the other half is false, to be precise, 18,072 years have passed in both the Outer World and the Abyss, but you did not become old because I sealed time here, so even if you spend a million years here, you will still be young, but your age will be a million years, so now You are 18,092 years old, that's all." Old San slowly explained things to Lin Hai.
"I see, I get it. This means that even if I stay here for millions of years, I won't show signs of aging but at the same time I will be millions of years old, wouldn't that make me immortal?" Lin Hai said and smiled wryly.
"Haha, not quite immortal but close to that, anyway let's get over it and go take a rest. You have a month to do whatever you want, then we'll start the second training," Old San said.
"Alright, I'll go now." After saying that, Lin Hai went to the same cave he settled in the first time, and then sat there as he gazed at the horizon.
Lin Hai sat there for a whole month doing nothing, the month passed, then he opened his eyes, stood up, and went to the temple for his second cultivation, when he arrived, Old San was waiting for him.
"Kid, today we will begin your second training. The first training was at the expense of speed. Your speed is now one level above that of the Founding Emperor. Now we are going to improve your fighting ability and reflexes in a battle to the death," Old San said.
"Are you and I going to fight to the death?" Lin Hai asked.
"Hah, are you stupid, if you fight with me now, I will kill you with two blows, let alone a battle to the death, hehehe," Old San laughed.
"So who am I going to fight a battle to the death against?" Lin Hai asked.
"Hah, are you stupid, if you fight with me now, I will kill you with two blows, let alone a battle to the death, hehehe," Old San laughed.
"So who am I going to fight a battle to the death against?" Lin Hai asked.
"You will be fighting against a group of Founding Emperors and great existences!" Old San said with an evil smile.
"Founding Emperors?? Didn't the Founding Emperors disappear immediately after obtaining Heaven's acknowledgment, then how could there be one here?" Lin Hai asked puzzled.
"Yes, Founding Emperors do not disappear but ascend to the primordial chaos, but there are Founding Emperors foolish enough to defy my own abyss so I killed a group of them and turned them into bone corpses belonging to me including your founding ancestor Sword Emperor, so your second training is to fight against thirteen emperors Founding twenty existences at the peak of the Divine Sovereign realm," Old San said.
"Thirteen Founding Emperors and twenty existences at the peak of the Divine Sovereign realm!!!!" Lin Hai gasped in shock, just think with me that in every generation there was only one founding emperor out of all the seven worlds, of course that didn't mean that there could only be one emperor in each generation there could be more than one, but there wouldn't be an emperor Founder stupid enough to let someone on his level survive.
This led to a law stating that all contenders who had a chance of becoming founding emperors would fight to the death, and only the one who survived would become one.
But now Lin Hai was going to fight against a Founding Emperor, and not just one without thirteen, and that's in addition to the twenty existences at the peak of Divine Sovereigns who were directly below the Founding Emperor.
If someone else heard this, they would die before they met these powerful beings.
"When will we start?" Lin Hai recovered his shock and returned to his cold and indifferent state and asked.
"Of course we'll start now," Old San said, then clapped his hands.
Suddenly, out of sight, thirty-three figures came out of nowhere and surrounded Blaine Healy, then attacked him fiercely like wild beasts that hadn't eaten in years.
But Lin Hai was fast enough to evade their combined attacks, then stopped far away from them.
"You see, as I told you before, your speed is one level higher than the Founding Emperors, so you can evade their attacks. But that doesn't mean you can evade forever. From today onwards, this will be your second training. It will end when you are able to kill them all. I will leave a clone of myself for you to revive in Your death condition, so train well and don't worry about dying. Good luck hahaha," Old San said, then went to the temple to sleep, leaving behind Lin Hai against the strongest existences in the world.
Lin Hai stared at the 33 figures surrounding him and then muttered, "Sword Emperor, Crimson Night Emperor, Demon Forest Emperor, Flame Emperor, Ice Emperor, One Hand Emperor…" He mentioned the names of every founding emperor standing in front of him now, he had heard their stories when he was in The Imperial Sword Sect couldn't recognize a few of them who hadn't been heard of before because they were from even older eras.
Right after he finished, four Founding Emperors attacked him from the front, then he dodged backwards, but there were four others waiting for him, and he jumped into the sky, and then the remaining twenty-five figures attacked him simultaneously, he couldn't evade that heaven-destroying attack as a result of which Lin Hai turned into dust. Even a small part of him remains indicating that he was present in this world.
