Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

The Lifebound True Blood and the Tai Chi Array Map intertwined, becoming indistinguishable from one another.

The moment they intertwined, the appearance of Lin Hao’s Dantian changed.

It bore a striking resemblance to the rush cushion from before, but now it manifested with absolute clarity.

At the center was the Tai Chi Array Map, with one mysterious rune after another interwoven around its edge, profound and unfathomable, possessing a charm that words could not describe. It was formed from the evolution of countless strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi.

This was the Creation Jade Butterfly.

When it manifested, its name naturally appeared in Lin Hao’s mind.

At the same time, Lin Hao also came to know its origin.

The Creation Jade Butterfly, along with the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, the Creation Cyan Lotus, and the Chaos Pearl, were known as the four great Chaos Supreme Treasures. Each of these four Chaos Supreme Treasures contained the supreme Great Dao—obtaining one could lead to becoming a Great Emperor!

’Lin Wu almost reached this step as well. He used the Chaos Seed Cyan Lotus and nearly evolved the Creation Cyan Lotus.’

At this moment, Lin Hao recalled his past battle with Lin Wu.

Back then, he had known the Chaos Seed Cyan Lotus was supremely powerful, but he didn’t know how far Lin Wu had actually progressed.

But now that his Lifebound True Blood had evolved into the Creation Jade Butterfly, everything became clear to Lin Hao.

Lin Wu at the time must have evolved forty-nine strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi, just one short of the final one. Otherwise, his Chaos Seed Cyan Lotus would have become the Creation Cyan Lotus.

’The Creation Jade Butterfly has appeared, and the Creation Cyan Lotus is just a hair’s breadth away from being formed. I fear the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe and the Chaos Pearl have probably appeared as well.’

After evolving the Creation Jade Butterfly, Lin Hao felt no joy, only pressure.

With the four great Chaos Supreme Treasures existing simultaneously, a battle was inevitable in the future struggle for the path to the Great Emperor realm.

Furthermore, although the Harmony Dominator Body was strong, it was not the ultimate constitution. Above it were the Sacred Body and the Immortal Body.

However, these thoughts flashed by in an instant, and Lin Hao immersed his consciousness into his Dantian.

Within his Dantian, the Creation Jade Butterfly occupied the center. Without any action from Lin Hao, it began to overflow with strand after strand of True Essence, nourishing every one of his meridians and remodeling his internal organs.

This True Essence still resembled Chaos Qi, but it was far more powerful than Chaos True Essence. Dao Rhyme flowed within it, carrying the profound principles of the Great Dao.

Lin Hao’s meridians were changing, as were his internal organs.

Outside, however, Lin Hao’s body was completely peaceful, with no visible fluctuations of aura.

The previous rumbling from his body was gone. Not even a wisp of aura leaked out. His entire being was like an old monk in deep meditation, tranquil and natural.

This was an evolution of the Dao. Lin Hao had transformed the violent into the natural, taking a crucial step forward on the Path of Enlightenment.

At this point, Lin Hao’s cultivation realm had already, without him realizing it, broken through to the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

But Lin Hao had completely forgotten about his realm, forgotten about everything.

His essence, qi, and spirit were now unprecedentedly powerful. After the Creation Jade Butterfly took form, his previous confusion about the martial path suddenly cleared up.

The Creation Jade Butterfly contained the profound principles of the Great Dao and possessed powers beyond the ken of gods and ghosts.

But even so, Lin Hao still had a long way to go.

This path was only in regard to the Six Paths of Reincarnation; he wasn’t even qualified to set foot on the path of the future yet.

The fifth small world was evolving, perfecting itself.

After the Creation Jade Butterfly took form, this was not difficult at all.

By now, five of the small worlds for the Six Paths of Reincarnation had finished evolving. Though it seemed incredibly close to blooming, it was still infinitely far away.

One must understand that for the sixth world, not even Lin Hao himself knew what he should use to create it.

Two great emperor techniques, the doppelgänger secret skill, the True Self Divine Soul, and his Lifebound True Blood—these were Lin Hao’s strongest methods at present.

In fact, besides Lin Hao himself, no one else in the Spirit Transformation Realm could have achieved what he had.

’I have it! The Dao Sound!’

Suddenly, a thought struck Lin Hao, and he knew what to evolve for the sixth small world.

He had actually had this fleeting idea before, but at the time, he hadn’t even dared to entertain it.

This Dao Sound was different from others; it was a sound of destruction. Evolving it within a small world was simply courting death.

But things were different now.

Just a moment ago, when the Creation Jade Butterfly had yet to fully form and had only manifested a phantom image, even the Dao Sound had to retreat. Lin Hao now had the confidence to suppress it.

The power of the Dao Sound needed no further explanation. Even now, Lin Hao had only grasped a few of its mysteries; it was simply too profound.

However, after his Lifebound True Blood mutated and evolved the Creation Jade Disc within his body, Lin Hao would be able to comprehend the profundities of the Dao Sound at a much faster rate.

Having decided what to evolve for the sixth small world, Lin Hao immediately took action.

Although he had already successfully evolved five small worlds, Lin Hao still encountered an unimaginable crisis while evolving this one.

He had underestimated the power of the Dao Sound!

The other five small worlds had utilized his own energy, but the Dao Sound was different.

Although Lin Hao had recreated it in his sea of consciousness with his supreme will, when he tried to incorporate it into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Great Dao was enraged!

Even though Lin Hao was within his Absolute Domain at that moment, the instant the thought crossed his mind, an unrivaled power descended from the heavens and directly cleaved his Absolute Domain apart.

Si Haoming’s Nine Nether Array Map was instantly turned to dust in this attack.

The three men and one beast were also jolted awake by this force, their mouths agape in shock.

Just a moment ago, their first instinct had been to retreat, but the power was so unimaginably strong that it froze them on the spot, preventing them from even forming a thought of resistance.

Then, they witnessed an incredibly shocking scene.

In the place where Lin Hao was, although the Absolute Domain had been split open, Lin Hao himself was completely unharmed.

The force was invisible, but they knew it had definitely struck Lin Hao.

Yet, Lin Hao remained motionless with his eyes closed, completely unscathed. This once again surpassed their understanding.

「A long time later...」

"That seemed to be the wrath of the Great Dao just now!" Jiao Yuanwu spoke up.

As a member of the Celestial Flood Dragon Race, he was very sensitive to the Great Dao.

"What on earth is Lin Hao evolving to actually provoke the wrath of the Great Dao?!" This was Hao Mo’s voice.

"The Great Dao... My Nine Nether Array Map was destroyed! Lin Hao, the Si family will hunt you to the ends of the earth for this!" Si Haoming was dumbstruck, but the destruction of his Nine Nether Array Map sent him into an instantaneous frenzy.

"This is impossible!"

Bifang also spoke, its voice filled with utter horror.

It was an ancient vicious beast. Although it was still a youth by the standards of the Human Race, ancient vicious beasts inherit their legacy at birth. Thus, its understanding of the Great Dao was far superior to anyone else’s present.

Moreover, in the Endless Forest, there was a monstrously talented Devil Emperor, and Bifang had even witnessed him fight against the Great Dao several times. Each time, he had been walking the razor’s edge between life and death.

The Devil Emperor was stunningly talented, his cultivation infinitely close to the Great Nirvana Realm. All the beasts of the Endless Forest believed he could become a Demon Emperor. If even his confrontation with the Great Dao was so perilous, the terror of the Dao’s might was plain to see.

Now, the Great Dao was enraged, and Lin Hao, without doing anything, had actually withstood a blow from it. This... At this thought, Bifang truly felt a bone-chilling terror.

The next moment, the bodies of the three men and one beast suddenly tensed, and they began to tremble uncontrollably.
