Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

Si Haoyang was poised to strike, waiting for the slightest dip in Lin Hao’s aura to launch a thunderous attack.

Huangfu Yao tried to warn Lin Hao via voice transmission, but she was horrified to find that she couldn’t.

Lin Hao was currently manifesting the Six Paths of Reincarnation. The area around him had become an Absolute Domain, and her voice transmission couldn’t penetrate it at all.

Meanwhile, Lin Hao was immersed in his own world, his aura climbing ever higher.

The void between the six small worlds twisted even more violently. A terrifying sound shook the heavens and the earth, causing them to rumble in response.

In that moment, the sensation of a world being created grew even more intense.

In the distance, the anger in Si Haoyang’s eyes had long since subsided. He now stared at Lin Hao’s position, a flash of shock in his gaze.

With his keen perception, he could naturally tell that Lin Hao was in a profound and mysterious state—he was achieving enlightenment!

This should have been the perfect opportunity to strike, but he didn’t dare make a reckless move.

The area around the six small worlds had become an Absolute Domain. If he attacked now, he would not only fail to break through but might even suffer grievous injuries.

Si Haoyang gritted his teeth, his clenched fists cracking loudly.

He had never been so utterly humiliated!

To think that he, at the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak, was helpless against a mere Martial Artist at the Sixth Layer of Spiritual Transformation Realm.

And that wasn’t all. The man was actually achieving enlightenment right before his very eyes!

It was a complete and utter show of disrespect.

Humiliating!

Utterly humiliating!

"AHH!"

Si Haoyang threw his arms wide and roared at the sky.

The roar shook the mountains and rivers.

Below, the Nine Yang Hall trembled, but it was protected by inscriptions and remained unscathed.

But the nine great rivers surrounding the Nine Yang Hall exploded outright.

Everything in the vicinity was obliterated as easily as rotten wood, turning to dust.

Everything around the Nine Yang Hall vanished. In their place were nine Broken Rivers, shattering like dead branches, section by section. Water surged into the sky, creating a scene like the end of the world.

But none of this had anything to do with Lin Hao.

Immersed in his own mind, Lin Hao had created his Absolute Domain. He was now the master of the world around him, impervious to all attacks.

As he channeled all his energy into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, causing the six small worlds to revolve, his understanding of a certain truth ascended to a new level.

’No matter how powerful the Godslaying Celestial Slash Skill and the Divine Illumination Scripture are, they are ultimately someone else’s Secret Skills. To surpass my past, I must forge my own path.’

’Only what is uniquely mine can be truly powerful.’

Lin Hao had already come to this realization back in the Divinity Realm, which was what led to the birth of his prototypical Six Paths of Reincarnation.

But in this moment, he suddenly understood. He still hadn’t truly broken free; he was still shackled by those Secret Skills.

’Only by completely forgetting these Secret Skills can I break my shackles.’

Lin Hao’s comprehension was astonishing. This realization opened a brand-new door for him.

The moment he began to forget all his Cultivation Techniques and Secret Skills, the six small worlds roared, growing even more terrifying as they fully formed the Absolute Domain.

Then, Lin Hao forgot everything. He forgot not only his Cultivation Techniques and Secret Skills, but even where he was.

In that instant, his entire being—his essence, energy, and spirit—was completely immersed in the evolution of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

He was forging his own path!

From the Blood Coagulation Realm to the Elemental Realm and the Soul Gathering Realm, he had cultivated the most powerful techniques for each stage. But now, it was no longer enough.

In his sea of consciousness, Lin Hao took a step to begin anew.

This time, there were no imperial arts. There was only him.

The first three small worlds of his Six Paths of Reincarnation had been nearing perfection, but now they all grew dim. Not just those three, but the fourth small world as well.

In his sea of consciousness, Lin Hao was recultivating!

First was the Blood Coagulation Realm. Having forgotten all his techniques and skills, Lin Hao began to cultivate based on an almost uncanny intuition.

The Great Dao itself was manifesting!

The First, Second, and Third Layers of the Blood Coagulation Realm were passed with ease.

In his sea of consciousness, he reached the Fourth Layer, the stage of bloodline awakening. Lin Hao still met no resistance and passed through it directly!

But as he crossed this threshold, all six small worlds trembled.

After that, Lin Hao’s progress could only be described as terrifying. He shot all the way to the Ninth Layer of Blood Coagulation Realm.

Only when he reached the Extreme Realm of Blood Coagulation did his pace finally slow.

At this point, the first two of the six small worlds began to transform.

The two small worlds were actually merging into one!

One of these small worlds embodied moonlight, the other, sunlight. Both were originally manifested from the Godslaying Celestial Slash Skill—or rather, they were manifestations of his cultivation in the Blood Coagulation Realm.

Now that Lin Hao was forging his own path, these two small worlds were destined to merge!

RUMBLE!

Finally, the two small worlds merged. Within the brand-new world, a Tai Chi Array Map began to turn, erupting with an incomparably terrifying power.

The entire Nine Yang Void Realm shook, and a mighty pressure spread outwards. Across the Nine Yang Continent, every Martial Artist who had reached the Spirit Transformation Realm felt it.

A sense of dread washed over them.

With two of the six small worlds having merged, the original balance should have been broken. However, a brand-new small world appeared—a realm of pure chaos—and it immediately stabilized the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

In his sea of consciousness, Lin Hao once again reached the Extreme Realm of Blood Coagulation and immediately began to soar through the Elemental Realm.

This time, at the same incredible speed, he broke all the way through to the true peak of the Elemental Realm.

As he surpassed the Elemental Realm, what was once the third—and now the second—small world trembled again. It became incredibly solid, and within it, a perfectly clear image of Lin Hao appeared.

Endless Chaos Qi surged around the body of this image. With each breath it took, the Chaos Qi transformed into tiny dragons that spiraled into its nostrils.

Next was the third world.

This time, in his sea of consciousness, Lin Hao began recultivating the Soul Gathering Realm.

Now, Lin Hao’s sea of consciousness was filled with countless stars and a vast celestial river. They were incredibly close to him as he sat cross-legged, and the celestial river moved at his will.

Soul Gathering Realm First Layer, Second Layer, Third Layer...

As Lin Hao recultivated the Soul Gathering Realm, his speed could only be described as terrifying.

Moreover, a river of stars materialized beneath him.

Recultivating the Soul Gathering Realm, Lin Hao was once again surpassing his past self. He was truly forging his own path.

As he progressed through the layers of the Soul Gathering Realm, the river of stars beneath him spread out, manifesting the Great Dao!

By the time Lin Hao reached the Extreme Realm of the Soul Gathering Realm, the celestial river manifesting beneath him in his sea of consciousness had become immeasurably vast, connecting directly with the great celestial river in the firmament above.

The two celestial rivers intertwined, pulling all the stars from the sky into their swirling depths.

Then, Lin Hao’s sea of consciousness roared as the two celestial rivers erupted with boundless light.

RUMBLE!

The celestial rivers shattered into countless fragments.

These fragments began to evolve, transforming into one terrifying inscription after another.

The inscriptions flew up, hung in the void where the rivers had been, and transformed back into stars.

This was Lin Hao’s Dao—a path that surpassed all that had come before, a truly astonishing sight.

Finally, the third world also transformed.

It was still filled with stars, but these stars had transcended their previous form. They were now truly one with Lin Hao, for they were born from his own manifestation.

It was no exaggeration to say that now, with a single thought, Lin Hao could summon the wondrous spectacle of ten thousand stars surging at his command.

Its true power was unknown. But one thing was certain: it was in no way weaker than before.
