Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

Just as Yang Qingtian said, the sealed space had been left behind by those who came before, and it contained their "Dao."

Lin Hao was young, but when it came to understanding the Martial Dao, he was second to none.

Furthermore, with the support of two Great Emperor arts, shattering their "Dao" was no difficult task.

Thus, within the sealed space, Lin Hao, already confident in his plan, chose to cultivate and recover from his injuries.

The sight of Lin Hao’s smile enraged Young Master Moon.

In his eyes, Lin Hao’s smile was the ultimate mockery.

"Lin Hao, I’ll make sure there’s not even a grave for you today!" With a furious roar, Young Master Moon struck again.

This time, Young Master Moon’s attack was even more terrifying than before.

As the divine vine emerged, the phenomenal display of thunder and lightning returned to the sky. Outside Wangchuan City, night and day ceaselessly interwove beneath this strange sight, as if a great calamity was imminent.

Young Master Moon’s divine vine shot toward the sky once more.

Instead of retreating, Lin Hao shot forward, hurtling toward the divine vine with incredible speed.

Chaos True Essence enveloped Lin Hao’s body as the sun and moon materialized behind him. At the same time, his True Self Divine Soul emerged, making him look like a Divine King who had attained the Dao.

Lin Hao was so fast that he severed the divine vine’s connection to the sky.

Lin Hao stood proudly amidst the vines and lightning. The divine vine could not approach him, and the thunderbolts vanished without a trace the moment they touched his body.

At this moment, Lin Hao was invulnerable to all arts.

It was as if Lin Hao had transcended this world and become its master!

The sight left everyone in Wangchuan City utterly stunned.

They all stared, dumbfounded, completely unable to comprehend how Lin Hao had managed it.

Even Yang Qingtian’s pupils contracted sharply, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

The next moment, Young Master Moon’s Divine Vine Divine Soul flared with a brilliant light.

Then, Young Master Moon’s Divine Soul flickered and vanished.

At the same time, a deafening explosion ripped through the sky.

Terrifying shockwaves radiated outwards. Wangchuan City, an ancient bastion on the Ancient Road of Stars, began to hum as its defenses activated.

Despite this, everyone still felt the earth tremble violently.

Outside, Young Master Moon was sent flying, leaving a large cloud of blood mist in his wake.

Young Master Moon had actually lost the exchange.

The outcome was shocking.

Yang Qingtian’s eyes narrowed again, followed by a flash of realization.

Just now, Lin Hao hadn’t resisted both the sky’s Power of thunder and lightning and Young Master Moon’s divine vine at the same time. Instead, he had turned his body into a conductor, channeling the lightning down to strike the divine vine.

If Young Master Moon hadn’t reacted quickly, his Divine Soul would have likely been annihilated by Lin Hao, just like He Jundao’s.

’This Lin Hao is simply too uncanny.’

Even Yang Qingtian couldn’t figure out how Lin Hao did it.

The next moment, Yang Qingtian’s eyes widened in even greater shock.

Because he heard Lin Hao utter two words: "Sword, go."

The two words were simple and plain, but as soon as Lin Hao spoke, a streak of light shot through the void toward the flying Young Master Moon, moving as fast as lightning.

The attack was incredibly bizarre and completely unexpected by Yang Qingtian.

And Yang Qingtian naturally knew what that streak of light was: the sword Lin Hao had just been holding, the one knocked away by Young Master Moon’s Divine Vine Divine Soul.

At first, Yang Qingtian had been wondering about the sword, but he had since completely forgotten about it.

But just then, Lin Hao’s sword reappeared.

Moreover, at this moment, Young Master Moon was flying through the air, completely unable to dodge.

It was, without a doubt, a fatal blow.

An unexpected killing blow.

"No!" Young Master Moon roared.

He didn’t see Lin Hao’s sword, but he felt the threat of death.

Amidst his roar, a terrifying and peerless aura suddenly erupted from Young Master Moon’s body.

The aura possessed a coercive might that made everyone feel an urge to prostrate themselves.

The next moment, a great seal materialized in the sky, shielding Young Master Moon.

Yang Qingtian spoke, calmly uttering three words: "Emperor Dragon Qi."

This was Young Master Moon’s trump card.

Young Master Moon was the Crown Prince of the Moon Worship Empire, its future Monarch. As a royal, he was born with Emperor Dragon Qi.

However, although Yang Qingtian’s tone was calm, a touch of surprise still appeared in his eyes.

That great seal, which resembled a Jade Seal, was clearly a Spiritual Artifact—and one infused with Emperor Dragon Qi.

Although Yang Qingtian knew it couldn’t possibly be the Moon Worship Empire’s Heirloom Seal of the Realm, he was still a little surprised when this great seal appeared. The Moon Worship Empire actually had a method to nourish a Spiritual Artifact with Emperor Dragon Qi.

All this took only an instant to flash through Yang Qingtian’s mind. In that same moment, Lin Hao’s sword collided with the great seal.

A terrifying boom echoed out as all of Wangchuan City began to glow, resisting the fearsome energy from the impact.

Outside Wangchuan City, Young Master Moon, sheltered behind the great seal, was completely unharmed. The seal protected his entire body, warding off everything.

Lin Hao’s body, however, was sent flying backward.

The energy from the collision was simply too powerful.

Not only that, but the Evil-Slaying Sword shattered in the collision.

Shards of the broken sword flew in all directions, sundering the void.

WHIZZ!

A fragment shot towards Wangchuan City’s wide-open gate, causing the void in the gate to distort.

The next moment, the fragment fell to the ground.

Yang Qingtian’s eyes lit up, and he was just about to act.

Under such an impact, ordinary materials would have long been reduced to dust, yet this fragment was unscathed. One could only imagine how extraordinary its material was.

He was fast, but someone was faster.

To be precise, someone had acted before him.

Among the crowd of Cangnan Empire Martial Artists, a young man acted, grabbing the fragment in his hand.

He was Zuo Ming, the second young master of Mingjian Manor.

The Evil-Slaying Sword had come from Mingjian Manor, and now that it was shattered, Zuo Ming felt a profound sense of loss.

But he also knew that the Evil-Slaying Sword was merely one of the Divine Soldiers, not even a true Spiritual Artifact. While it might have surpassed ordinary Spiritual Artifacts, the great seal Young Master Moon had just deployed was far beyond that level.

How could a Spiritual Artifact infused with Emperor Dragon Qi possibly be ordinary?

Zuo Yi stood beside Zuo Ming, his eyes fixed on Lin Hao outside the city, flames of fury burning within them.

In a way, the Evil-Slaying Sword represented Mingjian Manor itself, and now it had been destroyed in Lin Hao’s hands.

Zuo Yi felt the urge to strike out and kill Lin Hao right then and there.

However, after witnessing Lin Hao’s power, Zuo Yi knew it was an impossible fantasy. He and Lin Hao weren’t even in the same league.

’Lin Hao, you can’t die yet! The matter of the Evil-Slaying Sword isn’t over!’ Outside Wangchuan City, as Young Master Moon drove the great seal down toward Lin Hao, Zuo Yi clenched his fists and seethed with hatred.

The great seal blotted out the sky, its Emperor Dragon Qi flooding the void, threatening to suppress all existence.

Lin Hao’s killing blow had been thwarted by Young Master Moon’s great seal, and he was now on the defensive. Everyone stared with wide eyes.

Lin Hao’s body, under the enlarging great seal, looked incomparably tiny...
