Chapter 706 - 702: Borrowing Power to Open Reincarnation
As the three men and one beast attacked simultaneously, mysterious auras flared up in many places across the Nine Yang Continent.
The moment these auras appeared, countless Martial Artists and Devil Beasts dared not make a single move, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
These were the Divine Sense fluctuations of Sealed Martial Realm experts.
Sealed Martial Realm experts represented the pinnacle of cultivation in the lower realm, and they were extremely sensitive to fluctuations in martial auras. The simultaneous attack of four such experts sent shockwaves through them all.
Several strands of Divine Sense crossed hundreds of millions of miles, sweeping toward the void of the Nine Yang Void Realm.
They desperately wanted to know what could have possibly made four Sealed Martial Realm experts attack in unison.
Immediately, these strands of Divine Sense began to fluctuate violently.
Because Lin Hao’s cultivation level had shocked them all.
Although Lin Hao had reached the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak and was even on the verge of stepping into the Extreme Realm, he had still not truly surpassed the Spirit Transformation Realm.
That someone with such a cultivation level could actually provoke four Sealed Martial Realm experts to attack was beyond their comprehension.
"Get back!"
Jiao Yuanwu roared mercilessly at the void.
As experts of the Sealed Martial Realm themselves, the three men and the beast had instantly sensed the Divine Senses of the other Sealed Martial Realm Martial Artists sweeping over them.
Jiao Yuanwu’s shout was directed at those probing Divine Senses.
This was the way of upper-realm Martial Artists. They viewed the Martial Artists of the lower realm as ants. Even if the owners of most of these Divine Senses were stronger than them, they still felt no fear.
Forceful and tyrannical!
Several of the Divine Senses retreated in silence.
The origins of these three men and one beast were too astonishing; they were not existences that could be provoked. Not even by those who stood at the very apex of the Nine Yang Continent.
But two of the Divine Senses, instead of retreating, grew even more terrifying.
The attack from the three men and one beast actually faltered, unable to advance another inch.
"The Celestial Flood Dragon Race of the upper realm is conducting business! Retreat at once! Don’t bring disaster upon yourself, or we will exterminate your entire clan!" Jiao Yuanwu declared, showing no regard for the two powerful auras.
"This... it’s a female Cyan Simurgh, and a pure-blooded one at that! The Devil Emperor will surely be pleased," Bifang also chimed in.
"The other aura is incredibly violent, like a descending blood lion. For a Spirit Body to reach the Sealed Martial Realm... truly remarkable," Hao Mo said at the same time.
The man and the beast had directly perceived the true bodies and even the bloodlines behind the two strands of Divine Sense.
This was the power of the Sealed Martial Realm. They could discern an opponent’s origin from their Divine Sense alone, even from hundreds of millions of miles away.
But they weren’t the only ones; Lin Hao had also sensed the two Divine Senses the moment they appeared.
He felt a sense of familiarity from these two Divine Senses.
And now, he finally knew who they belonged to.
’It’s the Divine Sense of Aunt Yun and that so-called senior brother of mine!’
Moreover, the two Divine Senses were growing clearer and clearer.
Obviously, they were crossing vast territories to come to the Nine Yang Void Realm!
"Don’t worry about me. I have a way to handle this," Lin Hao secretly transmitted to the two Divine Senses.
The two strands of Divine Sense paused for a moment, then vanished completely.
Having reached the Sealed Martial Realm, they understood the mysteries of the Martial Dao far better than other Martial Artists.
They knew that if Lin Hao wanted to break his shackles, he needed to experience an unimaginably perilous battle.
Besides, it was clear the four were trying to capture Lin Hao, not kill him. He wouldn’t be in mortal danger for the time being.
So, even though Lin Hao seemed to have no chance of winning, they still chose not to intervene.
"This trip to the lower realm was well worth it! Not only do we get an Overlord Body, but there’s a pure-blooded Cyan Simurgh, too! Let’s finish this quickly, I need to get back and report." Bifang sounded impatient and launched its attack as it spoke.
The other three remained silent as their attacks surged forth once more.
The four attacks came from four different directions, but they all had the same target: Lin Hao.
Their attacks weren’t meant to kill Lin Hao, but to capture him alive.
After all, the Lifebound True Blood within his body was far too extraordinary—it could even manifest a legendary Chaos Supreme Treasure like the Creation Jade Butterfly.
Faced with such a prize, never mind a Small Nirvana Realm Martial Artist—even a reincarnated Saint could not remain indifferent.
As for the possibility of failure, they had never even considered it.
The gap between the Sealed Martial Realm and the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak wasn’t just a single realm; it was an insurmountable mountain.
The four attacks rushed toward Lin Hao, carrying an Innate suppression with them.
The difference in their realms was simply too vast.
If Lin Hao hadn’t been under the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, if he hadn’t formed the Creation Jade Butterfly within his body, he wouldn’t have even been able to put up a fight.
With a sharp cry, Lin Hao forcefully activated the Creation Jade Butterfly, causing the six small worlds to expand abruptly.
Without the power of the Creation Jade Butterfly, Lin Hao would have been unable to activate the Six Paths of Reincarnation to this extent, but now, everything was different.
The six small worlds swelled violently, their might filling the heavens.
A terrifying divine might emanated from each of the worlds.
And in the center of the six worlds was a hazy expanse: the Boundless Void.
It was the core of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the very spot where the Reincarnation Dao was meant to open!
Only when the Boundless Void was shattered could the Reincarnation Dao be opened. And only once the Reincarnation Dao was open could the six small worlds truly become the Six Dao!
This time, as the Six Paths of Reincarnation expanded, the four attacks struck the very spot where the Reincarnation Dao had yet to open!
Lin Hao was going to use their own power to open the Reincarnation Dao!
Clearly, Lin Hao had been plotting this from the moment they attacked.
"Damn it!"
The three men and one beast cried out in alarm.
After their attacks struck the Boundless Void, that expanse of emptiness began to collapse.
Bifang’s strange feather, in particular, possessed a heaven-toppling divine might; it was like a divine drill boring its way through the void.
At that very moment, a Primordial Body shot out from within Lin Hao and slapped a palm against the Boundless Void.
Though the four of them had attacked together, their power was still lacking just a little, and all Lin Hao had to do was provide that final push.
The Primordial Body shot out to open the Reincarnation Dao.
"Stop him!"
Jiao Yuanwu bellowed.
Amid his bellow, the three men and one beast attacked again, aiming for Lin Hao’s Primordial Body.
This was an attack from Sealed Martial Realm experts. The power of their Martial Realms filled the air, and their four attacks merged, directly sealing the nascent Reincarnation Dao.
Although Lin Hao’s Primordial Body was fast, it only managed a single strike.
By the time it tried to strike again, the four powers had already sealed off the Boundless Void.
With the Boundless Void sealed, the Six Paths of Reincarnation ground to a halt. Beneath it, Lin Hao’s face turned deathly pale.
The Reincarnation Dao was sealed. He was about to lose control, and the Dao that had been a hair’s breadth from opening was about to fail at the last second.
Sealed Martial Realm Martial Artists were absurdly powerful, not existences a Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artist could hope to challenge.
Lin Hao refused to give up. He tried to activate the Creation Jade Butterfly once more.
But it was too difficult.
Although the Creation Jade Butterfly had become a part of his body, it had only just taken shape. Lin Hao could not yet fully command it.
The previous activation had already consumed nearly all of his energy.
At the same time, their attacks were not Dao Attacks, so they weren’t enough to garner the Creation Jade Butterfly’s attention.
In its current state, the Creation Jade Butterfly born within his body was much like his first awakened bloodline.
As long as his body had not fully merged with it, the Butterfly could be taken and used by another if it was removed from him. But if he lost it, he would lose everything—including his life.
However, compared to the first time his bloodline was forcibly stolen, his current situation was far better.
