He found that the strength of both sides was about the same.

This relieved him, it seemed that the power of the Super Realm was not impossible to compare with the power of the Sage Realm, and the power of the Sage Realm was not as terrifying as he had worried.

When he was at the Half-Step Super Realm, he was no match for an opponent of this level of combat power; encountering one, he could only flee.

After his breakthrough to the Super Realm, his strength had greatly increased, and he could now overwhelm an opponent of this level in battle.

Even if he faced two opponents of this level at the same time, he would not be at much of a disadvantage.

Now, with his Bloodthirsty Sword having ascended to the fourth layer of the Super Realm, he felt a great enhancement in his power. Furthermore, having deeply merged with the Bloodthirsty Sword, he felt as if he could wield it as easily as moving his own limb.

He was now confident in fighting against three opponents of this level.

When the three Sage Realm powerhouses clashed with Lin Yun, they were quickly forced to retreat by Lin Yun's powerful attacks.

"How is this possible? How can Lin Yun be so terrifyingly strong?"

"To think he can fight against three of us Sage Realm powerhouses?"

"Was even Er Lee back in the day not his match?"

The three Sage Realm powerhouses exchanged shocked and fearful messages among themselves.

In truth, what terrified them was not Lin Yun's current strength, but his potential, and the shadow Er Lee had left on them, which made them feel as if they were seeing a serpent in the shadow of a bow when looking at Lin Yun.

This was normal.

Er Lee, at this realm back then, was not as strong as Lin Yun is now, but later on, he grew to become so terrifying.

And in the later stages within this universe, Er Lee was invincible; if he were still in this universe, they would never dare to covet the Immortal Origin Holy Land.

Moreover, Er Lee's cultivation speed was extremely fast; it didn't take long for him to go from the early stages to the later stages—merely a few decades at most.

A few decades, for them, were incredibly fast.

Thus, seeing Lin Yun now, how could they not be afraid?

They even thought, luckily they made their move now. If they had really waited a few decades and let Lin Yun grow completely, and then launched this war, they would have simply been marching to their deaths.

They also regretted, why had they made their move now? If Lin Yun were like Er Lee, perhaps he would have only stayed in this universe for a few thousand years before leaving. Then, if they had waited several thousand or even tens of thousands of years to make their move, they probably would not have encountered him!

For a moment, their thoughts were in turmoil.

"Is this his true strength..."

"To be able to fight with three Sage Realm powerhouses..."

Meanwhile, members of the Eternal Life and the Aolai Minglang families, the four top Super Warriors, also turned pale with shock at this scene, murmuring disbelievingly.

Originally, they felt somewhat unreconciled about Lin Yun quickly killing Ao Firestone and Shan Firestone.

In their view, it was mainly because Lin Yun had hidden his strength, making a sudden outbreak that caught Ao Firestone and Shan Firestone off guard, coupled with the special ability of the Bloodthirsty Sword, that those two had fallen.

If they had been on their guard, and the three Sage Realm powerhouses had been nearby to reinforce them, they might not have met with any misfortune.

However, at this moment, seeing Lin Yun's performance, they realized how great the gap in strength was between them and Lin Yun.

At this moment, they felt fortunate that Lin Yun had chosen to act against Ao Firestone and Shan Firestone first, and against those junior warriors beneath the Super Realm. If Lin Yun had targeted them, no matter how well they had prepared, they would have faced only a dead end.

Even the three Sage Realm powerhouses would not have been able to save them in time.

Originally, Eternal Life South, Aolai Minglang, and the other two were considering whether to take advantage of Lin Yun's battle with the three Sage Realm powerhouses to strike at Modan, Can, and the other ordinary cultivators near Lin Yun.

They did not believe Lin Yun could match the three Sage Realm powerhouses, which is why they were pondering the necessity of such action.

They believed they need not disrupt Lin Yun with this move.

They thought what they should consider was perhaps just preventing Modan and Can from escaping.

But now, a tremor of fear had risen in their hearts.

They feared attempting to attack Modan, Can, and those ordinary cultivators near Lin Yun.

Lin Yun alone could fight against three Sage Realm powerhouses without falling behind. If he spared a moment to deal with them, it should be no trouble, and in that case, they had no confidence in holding their ground.

Time slowly passed.

The three Saints and Lin Yun fought with frantic intensity and disarray.

Lin Yun's strength was not superior to the combined might of the three of them; however, at the beginning, they had not expected Lin Yun to be so formidable. Besides, the three had different opinions on offense and defense, which caused some initial confusion.

Once their strategies harmonized and they adapted to Lin Yun's attack patterns, they were nearly on par with Lin Yun.

However, they were not afraid of Lin Yun anymore, but they feared the Immortal Origin Holy Land behind him.

It was said that there were Saint powerhouses in the Immortal Origin Holy Land.

Would the Saint powerhouses of the Immortal Origin Holy Land watch passively as they dealt with Lin Yun?

This series of battles was actually their ruse to lure out the Saint powerhouses of the Immortal Origin Holy Land. Who knew where those Saints were right now or when they would make a move?

What if they suddenly attacked?

They had no confidence in facing Lin Yun and a Saint powerhouse from the Immortal Origin Holy Land simultaneously.

"Everyone, do you still wish to watch the battle unfold?"

Suddenly, Yun Firestone looked up and shouted toward all directions.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be..."

Illuminated by this scene, many Cultivators were startled and looked around.

Only a Saint powerhouse could provoke such a reaction from another. Could it be that other hidden Saint powerhouses were around, allies of the three major families?

However, as time went by, no new Saint powerhouses appeared at the scene.

"You had better think this through. The Immortal Origin Holy Land has successively unveiled figures like Er Lee and Lin Yun, as well as many other Saint powerhouses. There might be an immense opportunity lying within. If we obtain it, perhaps we could advance even further!"

"Now, Lin Yun's strength is already no weaker than Er Lee's from back then, perhaps even stronger. If you keep sitting on the sidelines, watching us fight, be careful that once Lin Yun grows stronger, you may miss your chance forever!"

Seeing no response, Yun Firestone shouted angrily.

Yet, the scene remained silent.

"If you come out to support now, I swear on my future path of the Dao that I will treat you as allies. Should we gain any benefits in the Immortal Origin Holy Land, we will surely share them. Our three families have acquired a mental-series treasure that can influence the souls of Saints, granting us a tremendous advantage. If you miss this opportunity, there might never be another!"

Yun Firestone took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.

He understood that the Saints nearby might also be wary of Lin Yun, who now seemed very much like Er Lee of thousands of years ago. If he didn't offer tangible benefits and proofs of strength, they were unlikely to intervene.

"Buzz!"

Finally, a powerful aura emerged in the starry sky.

"Yun Firestone, are you serious about what you just said? Can you represent all three major families?"

A black-robed elder looked at Yun Firestone and spoke softly.

When Lin Yun saw this black-robed elder, his pupils shrank slightly. He sensed that this elder was also a Saint powerhouse and immediately intensified his attacks on the trio led by Yun Firestone.

Regrettably, although his strength was formidable, he was too far from being able to thoroughly suppress the collaboration of the three Saints.

Especially since his realm was much lower than that of the Saints, resulting in a significant lack of staying power.

If he could not suppress these three Saints quickly, he might never get another opportunity to do so.

He had managed to maintain such a strong stance from the start of the battle thanks in large part to the Bloodthirsty Sword. It had slain numerous prodigies and two top Super Warriors from the Firestone Family, absorbing a great deal of blood energy that hadn't been immediately assimilated.

As time went by, this residual power would gradually diminish, and his advantage would disappear.

If another black-robed elder joined the fray, he would be at a disadvantage, which was detrimental to his situation.

He inferred from Yun Firestone's tone that there were more than just this black-robed elder; other Saints were present.

In this world, there are plenty who would kick a man while he's down. Once he was at a disadvantage, it's likely that even more Saints would come forth to deal with him.

In that case, he might not even get a chance to escape.
