Chapter 527 - 523: Divine Soul Riding the Dragon
However, Emperor Dragon Qi was different.
Emperor Dragon Qi was a form of energy. Lin Hao, despite being an alchemy master who knew countless long-lost Alchemy Hand Seals, had no idea if they would be effective against it.
Therefore, the hand seal Lin Hao had just formed in the void was a complete shot in the dark.
Fortunately, he succeeded.
The move had seemed simple, but it was actually a perfect fusion of his Artifact Refining Skill and Alchemy Skill.
In this world, Lin Hao was likely the only one who could accomplish such a feat.
Lin Hao’s actions drove Young Master Moon into a frenzy. Amid his roars, his Divine Soul erupted with a terrifying pressure.
It was the Divine Soul of an Emperor Body to begin with, possessing an unparalleled and terrifying pressure. Now, nourished by the Emperor Dragon Qi, it had naturally become even more horrifying.
When Young Master Moon’s Divine Soul emerged, lightning once again flashed and thunder boomed across the sky.
This time, it was even more terrifying than before.
Bolts of lightning, like massive Divine Chains, tore through the void.
A clap of thunder seemed to split heaven and earth, its sound echoing through the void.
The world was utterly engulfed by the flashes of lightning and the roar of thunder.
Young Master Moon’s Divine Soul once again manifested a divine vine that shot toward the heavens.
At almost the exact same moment, Lin Hao made his move.
The Jade Seal magnified in the void, pressing down on Young Master Moon.
When Lin Hao wielded the Jade Seal, its power was even greater than when Young Master Moon had used it.
The Jade Seal blotted out the lightning in the heavens, silenced the roar of thunder, and seemed to become the only thing in existence.
Young Master Moon’s expression grew even colder, his heart aching as if it were bleeding.
The Jade Seal had been his Spiritual Artifact, yet now his opponent had claimed it and turned it against him.
What could possibly be more infuriating?
"KILL! KILL! KILL!"
Young Master Moon’s eyes were blood-red as he spat out the three words.
With each word he spoke, the lightning and thunder in the sky grew even more terrifying.
Provoked by Lin Hao, Young Master Moon was now unleashing his full power.
His Divine Soul power and Bloodline Power surged, making him seem like a Demon God.
But it was all useless against Lin Hao.
In Lin Hao’s hands, the Jade Seal exhibited a state completely different from when Young Master Moon had wielded it.
Lin Hao channeled his Chaos True Essence into the Jade Seal, combining it with the Emperor Dragon Qi and causing the seal to erupt with unimaginable might.
Under Lin Hao’s control, the Jade Seal became crystalline and translucent.
The Martial Artists in Wangchuan City witnessed a miraculous sight.
The magnified Jade Seal in the void turned crystalline and translucent, and within it, a dragon soared.
For a moment, they were under an illusion.
The space within the Jade Seal seemed to have become the Void Space itself, with the dragon soaring through it.
The next moment, lightning and thunder descended upon it.
Divine Chains shot through the air, seeking to obliterate the dragon that soared through the Void Space.
The dragon was noble and inviolable. It met the assault head-on, rising into the sky. Its body twisted, tearing at the void itself as it prepared to battle the celestial lightning.
Though they were impossibly far away, the crowd could almost feel the boundless might emanating from the dragon.
The celestial lightning was too terrifying; the dragon was struck down from the sky.
But this was not the end. Suddenly, everyone’s vision blurred. When they looked again, a human form had appeared in the Void Space.
The figure was tiny in front of the dragon, no bigger than an ant.
But in the next moment, the crowd was utterly stunned.
The tiny figure stood proudly atop the dragon’s head, riding it as it ascended.
Just then, the Divine Chains pierced through the void, striking directly at the tiny figure.
The tiny figure showed no fear, meeting the attack with a punch.
Then, the small fist collided with the lightning that resembled a Divine Chain.
The result was staggering!
The tiny figure was completely unscathed by the Divine Chain’s attack.
Not only that, but he surged upward, as if intending to shatter the very heavens and vie with the sky itself!
Everyone saw in him a certain momentum—the unstoppable forward march of the martial way.
Nothing could stop him. Not even the heavens! They. Could. Not!
This scene was so shocking it defied description.
"His Divine Soul entered the Jade Seal to command the Emperor Dragon Qi... To think Lin Hao’s Divine Soul is this powerful." Yang Qingtian muttered, an equal look of shock in his eyes.
Lin Hao’s strength had completely surpassed his expectations.
Yang Qingtian had originally assumed that if Lin Hao wanted to defeat Young Master Moon, he would have to resort to using that mysterious flame of his.
But Lin Hao had stunned him, time and time again.
Especially now, the strength of Lin Hao’s Divine Soul had once again shattered Yang Qingtian’s perceptions.
Although the Emperor Dragon Qi wasn’t a true dragon, it contained the martial convictions of several generations of the Moon Worship Empire’s Monarchs and possessed an unimaginable majesty. Yet Lin Hao’s Divine Soul had simply trampled it underfoot and forced it into complete submission.
What an incredible display!
Even Yang Qingtian, who had always had absolute confidence in his own Divine Soul, seemed a bit dazed.
"So what if his Divine Soul can ride a dragon? I can extinguish gods and slaughter them!"
Yang Qingtian’s path surpassed that of countless peerless geniuses. A moment later, his eyes lit up, and he stared at Lin Hao’s Divine Soul within the Jade Seal, a blazing battle lust igniting within them.
And just then, the Divine Soul, which had been inside the Jade Seal, rode the dragon out.
The Divine Dragon formed from the Emperor Dragon Qi became incredibly real under Lin Hao’s control. As it emerged, it let out a mighty roar.
With a single swing of its tail, the Divine Dragon annihilated one of the Divine Chains!
The Divine Soul, positioned on the dragon’s head, began to manifest the Great Dao!
The tiny figure’s hands began to move in a strange pattern.
The Divine Soul was spontaneously forming a Tai Chi symbol!
A glow of white light appeared in the Divine Soul’s left hand, and a glow of red light in its right.
With one hand, the Divine Soul manifested Yin; with the other, it manifested Yang.
Its movements were incredibly slow, yet the lightning-fast Divine Chains were somehow unable to strike.
Gradually, the white and red glows grew fuller, resembling the shape of fish, or perhaps a crescent moon and a setting sun.
Then, the white and the red merged into one!
The moment they merged, the entire world fell silent.
The thunder vanished, and the lightning-like Divine Chains receded.
Everyone stared at the sky, utterly stupefied.
The next moment, the Tai Chi Array Map leaped from the Divine Soul’s hands and shot toward the heavens.
It moved slowly, yet nothing could impede its path.
"AHH!"
Beneath the heavens, Young Master Moon let out a great roar.
At that moment, Young Master Moon felt the shadow of death loom over him.
Even with his Emperor Body, an invisible force had him pinned and suppressed. He couldn’t even move a muscle.
When he tried to recall his Divine Soul, Young Master Moon discovered that his once-unrivaled soul was now like an infant before a giant, trembling uncontrollably.
The panicked Divine Soul had completely forgotten how to react.
Young Master Moon roared, frantically channeling his Bloodline Power to the point of using his Lifebound True Blood.
But it was all in vain.
"NOOO!"
Young Master Moon let out a cry of despair.
But then, his voice was abruptly cut short.
The celestial phenomena vanished, as if nothing had ever happened.
The Jade Seal shrank, returning to Lin Hao’s hand.
Lin Hao stood proudly in the void, holding the Jade Seal in one hand. His other hand was wrapped around Young Master Moon’s neck.
Young Master Moon’s duel with Lin Hao had ended in his utter and complete defeat.
