Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

The eyes of the elders in the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion’s Elder Hall were wide as saucers, and they remained that way for a long while.

It wasn’t until the Tai Chi Array Map formed by the heavens began to suppress Lin Hao, forcing him to cough up blood, that the elders finally reacted.

"Dean, quickly, you must intervene! If you don’t, Lin Hao is doomed!" one of the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion elders shouted, urging the Dean of the Elder Hall. He had completely lost the dignified bearing expected of an elder.

The Heaven-Breaking Pavilion was the Martial Arts Holy Land of the Celestial Yang Continent, and these elders stood at the very pinnacle of martial arts achievable on the continent.

Judging by their white hair and beards, each was at least several hundred years old; it wouldn’t have been surprising if some had even lived for over a thousand years.

At their age, what hadn’t they seen?

Yet now, seeing Lin Hao in peril, these elders couldn’t remain calm. It was a testament to the immense impact Lin Hao had on them.

At this, the Dean of the Elder Hall blushed.

If the battle between Lin Hao and Emperor Hongtian hadn’t obliterated Wangchuan City, he could indeed have intervened to save him.

But now, Lin Hao was in the boundless void. He couldn’t even pinpoint his exact location. How was he supposed to save him?!

Though he was loath to admit his own powerlessness, the Dean of the Elder Hall shook his head. "I can’t. He’s in the boundless void, and I can’t locate him."

The other elders were stunned to hear this. The one who had just spoken immediately added, "Then let’s combine our powers to find him."

"And what good would that do? Let’s not even discuss whether we can break through that gate. Even if we could, it would be too late," the Dean replied, shaking his head.

"So there’s no saving him?!"

"The only one who can save him now is himself," the Dean lamented with a sigh, a flash of pain crossing his eyes.

’The tenth opponent was a Great Emperor who had yet to achieve his Dao, but even he couldn’t stop Lin Hao. For such a twist to occur now... It seems even the heavens themselves won’t tolerate Lin Hao’s existence.’

Upon hearing this, the rest of the elders fell silent.

They all knew what these words implied.

The group stared into the void, speechless.

Meanwhile, within the void, Lin Hao let out a furious roar.

The pressure from the Tai Chi Array Map formed by the heavens was immense. Lin Hao felt his body cracking apart, inch by inch, and he was completely restrained.

His roar shook the very firmament!

With this roar, even the Tai Chi Array Map formed by the heavens trembled and shook.

Lin Hao felt the pressure on him suddenly decrease.

In that very instant, Lin Hao’s body moved.

However, he didn’t charge toward the Void Gate. Instead, he rushed toward his Primordial Body and True Self Divine Soul.

The Void Gate looked close, but it was actually still some distance away. Lin Hao knew he would never make it in time.

Right now, the only thing Lin Hao could do was move closer to his Primordial Body and Divine Soul to amplify his attack power.

Lin Hao’s true body, Primordial Body, and Divine Soul each took up a position and simultaneously manifested an imperial art.

Three suns and three moons blazed across the void, merging into the Tai Chi Array Map that had just annihilated Emperor Hongtian’s spiritual imprint. This caused the array map to flare with brilliant light.

The next moment, this Tai Chi Array Map shot toward the one formed by the heavens...

Back in the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion’s Elder Hall, the elders’ eyes suddenly bulged as they stared, unblinking, at the scene displayed in the void.

Before their very eyes, the two Tai Chi Array Maps crashed into each other.

The impact was world-shattering!

The moment they collided, the scene in the void before them vanished—or rather, it was annihilated.

"Such terrifying fluctuations... I think I can feel a heart-stopping aura," an elder said in shock.

The others nodded, in complete agreement.

"Could he possibly survive power like that?" another elder asked, his brow deeply furrowed.

The Dean of the Elder Hall sighed. "At the very last moment, I saw his body explode."

The others fell silent.

Such a peerless genius, one who should have been destined for the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion, had instead perished on the starry Ancient Road.

At this moment, boundless regret flooded the elders’ hearts.

Had they found Lin Hao sooner, they would never have allowed him to take the trial on the starry Ancient Road.

But now, it was too late for anything.

Many elders slumped into their seats, looking utterly crestfallen.

Seeing their dejected expressions, the Dean of the Elder Hall announced, "We still have Lin Wu, and the successors from the other Holy Lands. Do not lose heart, everyone. Especially concerning Lin Wu—I am now almost certain that his physique is the Harmony Dominator Body, a constitution that didn’t even exist in ancient times. The Heaven-Breaking Pavilion of our Celestial Yang Continent is destined to rise!"

"I knew he was no ordinary talent! So it’s the Harmony Dominator Body!" The elders who had been sitting all shot to their feet, their faces filled with excitement.

Spirit Body, Origin Body, Battle Body, King Body, Royal Body, Divine Body, Overlord Body...

The Heaven-Breaking Pavilion gathered all the peerless geniuses of the Celestial Yang Continent. Within its walls, even Royal Bodies were rare, and there was only one Divine Body. Yet Lin Wu possessed an Overlord Body, a type that hadn’t existed in ancient times. The thought was staggering!

"If he hadn’t perished, his future accomplishments would surely have been no less than that of an Overlord Body," one elder said, thinking of Lin Hao, unable to help but feel a pang of sorrow.

"I disagree. Even if he hadn’t perished, he couldn’t be compared to an Overlord Body," another elder retorted, shaking his head.

"How would you know! If I’m not mistaken, Lin Hao’s physique was only a King Body, yet he was able to contend with a Great Emperor and annihilate his spiritual imprint!" the previous elder shot back, clearly displeased.

The second elder immediately countered, "That spiritual imprint was merely from a time before that Great Emperor ascended to his throne. How could Lin Hao possibly stand against a true Great Emperor? Comparing him to the ancient, non-existent Overlord Body is giving him too much credit. If Lin Wu had been the one to take the trial on the starry Ancient Road, he definitely would have survived."

The first elder fumed, his eyes wide, but he found he couldn’t refute the argument.

The Harmony Dominator Body, non-existent in antiquity, was incomparably formidable. Even if its bearer failed to become a Great Emperor, they would still possess the power to challenge one.

Lin Hao’s performance had been stunning, but compared to the Overlord Body, his physique was just far, far too weak.

The gap between the two was like the difference between the bright moon and a single grain of rice.

And just as the elders of the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion were arguing, back in the region of the void where Lin Hao was, massive fluctuations engulfed the space, plunging it into absolute nothingness.

In this nothingness, only a single point of light glimmered faintly in the distance—the location of the Void Gate.

In this void, Lin Hao’s body was gone. Only fragments of bone and drops of blood remained, drifting about aimlessly...

Among them, one drop of blood shone with an exceptional brightness.

It was not merely bright, but also incomparably bewitching.

It was a dark green, tinged with red and cyan. Faintly, a strand of purple light, so fine as to be almost imperceptible, flashed within it, lending it a mysterious and eerie quality.

This was Lin Hao’s Lifebound True Blood!

All the other droplets of blood began to unconsciously converge on this single drop of Lifebound True Blood.

Once enough blood had gathered, the bone fragments also began to converge on that drop of Lifebound True Blood.

Then, the blood and bone that had been drifting aimlessly through the nothingness surged in from all directions, moving faster and faster.

Lin Hao’s Lifebound True Blood remained at the very center, emitting a faint glow.

Although faint, this glow possessed the power to instantly fuse blood and bone.

Beneath the light, the bone fragments began to rapidly reassemble...
