Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

PUH!

Lin Hao’s body shuddered as if struck by lightning, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Immediately, his body was seized by some force and began to spiral toward where Si Haoyang stood.

This Si Haoyang was just too powerful.

Lin Hao estimated his cultivation had already reached the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak.

The gap between the Fifth Layer of Spirit Transformation Realm and the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak was immense.

But Lin Hao wasn’t one to just wait for death.

He activated his imperial art and the Zhe Character Skill, and both he and his True Self Divine Soul recovered once more.

Under this immense pressure and danger, the speed of his recovery this time could only be described as terrifying.

With his Divine Soul restored, Lin Hao once again deployed its power.

This time, Lin Hao had his True Self Divine Soul directly use its Lifebound True Blood.

Several hundred meters away, the mocking smile on Si Haoyang’s face vanished instantly. At the same time, he moved both his hands.

The spatial passage lost control, and Lin Hao’s body was free once more.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Lin Hao unleashed the Harmony Dragon Performance Skill.

This attack from the True Self Divine Soul forced even Si Haoyang to take it seriously.

For when the True Self Divine Soul made its move, although he couldn’t see it, he felt a powerful fluctuation of aura. While that aura hadn’t fully matured, it was still enough to make his heart pound.

BOOM! BOOM!

The next moment, two massive explosions erupted almost simultaneously.

The attacks from the True Self Divine Soul and Lin Hao’s Harmony Dragon Performance Skill arrived at nearly the same time.

Lin Hao charged in fast and retreated even faster.

PUH!

This time, Lin Hao coughed up blood again. His body felt like it was about to crack apart; his injuries were even more severe than before.

Although Si Haoyang wasn’t injured, his face had turned pale, and he had to take several steps back to steady himself.

Not far away, shock flickered in Huangfu Yao’s beautiful eyes.

Though the Huangfu family was also an ancient family, it was a notch below the Si Clan, which was one of the truly ancient noble houses.

This Si Haoyang was a direct disciple of the Si Clan with a pure bloodline. His cultivation had long since reached the Sealed Martial Realm.

Although his cultivation had been suppressed in the lower realm, it was still at the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak.

But now, a Fifth Layer Spirit Transformation Realm Lin Hao had actually come close to injuring him. It was simply unbelievable.

’It seems I still underestimated you,’

Huangfu Yao said to herself.

"This power... You’re Lin Hao!"

Si Haoyang’s expression was grim. At that moment, his eyes flared, and his words boomed like thunder.

The sound carried immense power, spreading instantly throughout the Nine Yang Void Realm.

Si Haoyang and Huangfu Yao had just been battling. Although their cultivation levels were suppressed in the lower realm, both were at the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak.

A battle of that caliber was not something they could afford to watch up close, so many people had hidden themselves in various corners of the Nine Yang Void Realm.

Now, Si Haoyang’s words exploded across the Nine Yang Void Realm, causing all these people’s eyes to widen in shock.

They never would have imagined that Lin Hao had actually entered the Nine Yang Void Realm and, on top of that, clashed with Si Haoyang.

"This Lin Hao is simply reckless! Back in the Divinity Realm, his true body’s cultivation was still in the Soul Gathering Realm. No matter how heaven-defying he is, he should only be at the First or Second Layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm by now. To dare come to the Nine Yang Void Realm with that kind of cultivation..."

"The Si Clan... I heard my grandfather say they’re a truly ancient family. How dare Lin Hao provoke a family like that? Is he just arrogant, or does he have something to back it up?"

Discussions broke out all over the Nine Yang Void Realm.

Beside the Nine Yang Hall, Lin Hao was also surprised that Si Haoyang had guessed his identity so quickly.

But things had already come to this. Lin Hao had nothing left to fear. With a surge of True Essence, he reverted to his original appearance.

"That’s right, I am Lin Hao. Are you really from the Si Clan?"

Lin Hao admitted it freely before firing back a question of his own.

Huangfu Yao froze for a moment, then covered her mouth.

Lin Hao’s words were so vicious.

He was clearly implying that Si Haoyang’s cultivation was lacking and that he was a disgrace to the Si Clan.

"Hey, that voice sounds familiar."

Lin Hao’s voice also spread throughout the Nine Yang Void Realm. Upon hearing it, one of the Martial Artists spoke up, a bit puzzled.

"Yeah, I think so too."

"Isn’t... Isn’t that the voice of the guy who killed those four Martial Artists from the upper realm at the Nine Yang Hall?!"

"Yes! That’s him! He’s from the Celestial Yang Continent. I should have realized he was Lin Hao long ago! How could I be so stupid!"

"How long has it been, and he’s already cultivated to the Dragon Transformation Realm Third Layer? A cultivation speed like that is just heaven-defying! No wonder he became the number one person on the Celestial Yang Continent!"

"..."

As the Martial Artists were buzzing with discussion, they heard Si Haoyang’s voice again:

"Good, very good! Lin Hao, I’d wager everyone has underestimated you. In such a short time, you’ve actually reached the Fifth Layer of Spirit Transformation Realm. Even in the Divine Demon Destruction Domain, such a cultivation speed would make you a prodigy. But your journey ends here today!"

"What?! Fifth Layer of Spirit Transformation Realm!"

"How is that possible? Five days ago he was only at the Third Layer of Spirit Transformation Realm, and now he’s at the Fifth Layer!"

The moment Si Haoyang’s voice rang out, every Martial Artist in the Nine Yang Void Realm was utterly stunned.

In just five days, Lin Hao had actually advanced by Two Layers!

This was a miracle, a heaven-defying miracle!

"Lin Hao, I’m not as good as you... but I will definitely catch up!" Leng Chenfeng gripped his Dragon Scale Spear tightly, a frenzied fire burning in his eyes.

Several others made the same vow. These were the top experts of the Nine Yang Continent, the true prodigies of the lower realm.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the entire Nine Yang Void Realm began to tremble, and runes lit up brightly in many places.

Si Haoyang had made his move.

It was an attack born from the martial path of a Spirit Transformation Realm Peak expert. Although it didn’t possess world-shattering power, the Nine Yang Void Realm was still subjected to its most severe test yet.

Within the Nine Yang Void Realm, an elderly Martial Artist’s lips trembled.

His people had been born here for generations, and he knew many of the legends surrounding the Nine Yang Void Realm.

"Legend has it that the Nine Yang Void Realm is a space created by a Great Emperor with his supreme Martial Realm. It has existed for countless ages. Is it finally going to collapse?!"

"The Nine Yang Void Realm collapses, and a great calamity will follow. The ancient prophecy is coming true!"

At that moment, a heaven-shaking phenomenon occurred next to the Nine Yang Hall.

Si Haoyang struck. The waters of the Jiujiang River were bent to his will, and at the Broken River, the current reversed its flow, surging upstream to engulf Lin Hao.

Even before the main torrent reached Lin Hao’s body, countless tiny water droplets already displayed a terrifying divine might.

A single drop of water could pierce through the void!

If an attack like this were to land true, it was feared that even if Lin Hao’s physical body were sanctified, he wouldn’t be able to last for long.

Lin Hao’s expression was extremely grave.

This was the strongest opponent he had faced to date.

This strength stemmed from the difference in their realms.

He was several realms below his opponent, a gap that could not be bridged by any means, because his foe hailed from a true ancient family of the upper realm.

Lin Hao’s eyes shone brightly as his mind raced at an astonishing speed.

The stronger the opponent, the calmer he became, searching for a breakthrough.

"It’s useless. In the face of absolute power, all struggles are futile."

Si Haoyang stood proudly in the void, radiating absolute confidence.

He was at the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak. If he couldn’t even handle a Fifth Layer Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artist, he might as well just kill himself on the spot.

Just then, a figure flashed across the sky, rushing toward Lin Hao’s position.
