Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

His Primordial Body had already vanished. As this attack was launched, azure runes filled the area around Si Haoyang, carrying an aura that could seemingly crush the ages.

Lin Hao had been about to strike again, but as this aura emerged, a chill ran down his spine.

Lin Hao had a terrifying feeling that if he attacked now, his own chances of survival would be slim, even if he managed to kill Si Haoyang.

At this, Lin Hao could only sigh.

"What?!"

Meanwhile, watching from a distance, Huangfu Yao was shocked beyond belief by Lin Hao’s strike.

Si Haoyang was a prodigy even in the Divine Demon Destruction Domain. His foundation in every realm was incredibly solid, and few could ever hope to challenge him.

But now, a Martial Artist at the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm had actually managed to grievously wound Si Haoyang, bringing him to the brink of death. This was nothing short of a miracle.

"Good. Very good! Lin Hao, I underestimated you. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve been injured like this."

Si Haoyang’s hair whipped about wildly as he allowed his blood to stain his body red.

At this moment, he resembled a fiendgod.

Azure runes flowed around him, and killing intent saturated the world.

When he descended to this lower realm, although his cultivation level had fallen, he was still at the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak.

Forget now, when his realm was suppressed to the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak. Even back when he had first reached this level, among the countless prodigies of the Divine Demon Destruction Domain, none at the Sixth Layer had ever managed to wound him so severely.

Although Lin Hao’s attack was a sneak attack, the ability to bypass his Spiritual Sense was a formidable skill in its own right.

A Martial Artist like this would be considered peerless among his generation, even in the Divine Demon Destruction Domain.

Si Haoyang’s killing intent surged.

He grew even more interested in the Blood of Dominance within Lin Hao’s body, now determined to obtain it at any cost.

Lin Hao gathered his strength, poised to strike, but said nothing.

In that short span of time, his injuries had already completely healed.

Across from him, Si Haoyang’s body was enveloped in azure runes, his injuries also recovering, but at a speed far inferior to Lin Hao’s.

The Zhe Character Skill had evolved from the Dao Sound. It was a Healing Secret Skill peerless throughout the ages, one that ordinary secret skills could not hope to match.

Just then, six miniature worlds began to rotate in the depths of Lin Hao’s eyes. He was about to unleash an attack using the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Across from him, Si Haoyang’s expression changed. With a loud shout, he transformed the azure runes into chains that shot toward Lin Hao.

This time, Lin Hao did not dodge. His Primordial Body struck out to meet the chains.

Lin Hao’s perception was astonishing; he had discerned Si Haoyang’s current state.

The aura in the area around Si Haoyang could crush the ages, but he had lost his primary means of attack.

Although the chains formed from the runes were formidable, his Primordial Body had the strength to fight them.

Even if it couldn’t destroy them, it was enough to buy time for his Six Paths of Reincarnation to appear.

Sure enough, the power of the chains was greatly diminished, no longer holding the divine might of the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak.

At that very moment, the power of Lin Hao’s Six Paths of Reincarnation manifested in the void.

BOOM!

The six miniature worlds spun, twisting the void. Within them, black holes were beginning to form!

By now, three of the six miniature worlds were almost complete. The other three had absorbed the divine blood of the fierce beast from Nine Yang Hall, and Lin Hao had used his power to balance them. The Six Paths of Reincarnation was already starting to display its might.

The moment the six miniature worlds appeared, the azure runes surrounding Si Haoyang began to be absorbed, surging toward the center of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!

Yet, in the center of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the nascent black hole ultimately failed to form. The void there twisted and warped, but it could not manage to open the Black Hole Space.

Even so, Si Haoyang’s age-crushing azure runes were no match for it. If the black hole were to successfully form, it would unleash a pressure of unimaginable terror.

Si Haoyang felt the pressure the moment the six miniature worlds appeared. Now, even the runes he manifested were being suppressed, leaving him horrified.

He had witnessed the duel between Lin Hao and the mysterious imperial scion and had gained some understanding of the Six Paths of Reincarnation’s might. But only now, truly facing this power himself, did Si Haoyang realize he had underestimated its terror.

However, he was the heir of an ancient noble family, and his cultivation was several realms higher than Lin Hao’s. He would not permit himself to lose.

"There are several layers of cultivation between us. I will not lose!"

As Si Haoyang spoke, the very world roared in response.

This was a manifestation of the grand momentum of the Martial Dao.

Such was the power of an heir from an ancient noble family—they could command the grand momentum of the Martial Dao at will.

Their starting point was far higher than that of Martial Artists from the lower realms.

As the grand momentum of the Martial Dao stirred, the azure runes reappeared around Si Haoyang. This time, while the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation made the runes pulse, it could no longer absorb them.

This was definitely not a good sign for Lin Hao.

Because Lin Hao’s formidable Spiritual Sense told him that Si Haoyang’s wounds were almost completely healed.

Once he returned to his peak state within the Spirit Transformation Realm, he would be even more terrifying.

Such an opportunity was rare. Lin Hao would not let it slip away.

Lin Hao gave a low cry. His True Self Divine Soul leaped out from his Upper Dantian, appearing above his head.

At the same time, his imperial technique activated, enveloping his body in a divine halo.

Within his Dantian, the Tai Chi Array Map spun, and at its center, his Lifebound True Blood erupted in a brilliant light.

In his sea of consciousness, the chant of the Dao Sound echoed endlessly as the Lin Character Skill manifested.

Lin Hao was deploying every technique at his disposal to open the black holes within the six miniature worlds.

Only when the channel between the six miniature worlds opened would the prototype of the true Six Paths of Reincarnation be complete.

At that point, as long as Si Haoyang did not surpass the Spirit Transformation Realm, he would be unable to escape the fate of being suppressed and killed by the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The six miniature worlds roared as phenomena surged within, unleashing a world-destroying pressure.

RUMBLE!

In the center of the six worlds, the twisting of the void became even more extreme. A deep rumble echoed across the land, as if the universe itself was being torn asunder.

The azure runes around Si Haoyang once again surged toward the center of the six miniature worlds.

Not only that, but Si Haoyang’s entire body began to drift in that direction.

The divine might of the six miniature worlds was overwhelming; even a Martial Artist at the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak showed signs of being outmatched.

Si Haoyang’s hair was pulled taut as he was being restrained by the six miniature worlds.

ROAR!

Si Haoyang let out a roar that collapsed the void and shattered the landscape. Below, the waters of the Jiujiang River surged into monstrous, tide-turning waves.

PFFT!

The river water formed a sharp blade and sliced straight through Si Haoyang’s hair.

The next moment, Si Haoyang’s body shot backward in retreat.

The pressure from the six miniature worlds was simply too powerful; even he had to temporarily retreat from its cutting edge.

In the distance, Huangfu Yao’s beautiful eyes widened, and she was left utterly dumbstruck.

Lin Hao had actually forced a Martial Artist at the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak to retreat. If word of this ever reached the Divine Demon Destruction Domain, it would undoubtedly cause a tremendous sensation.

But she quickly composed herself, a hint of worry appearing in the depths of her eyes.

Lin Hao’s Six Paths of Reincarnation was exceptionally powerful, but he clearly had not mastered it. Furthermore, it was too soon to be using his strongest attack.

As the heir of an ancient noble family, Si Haoyang’s repertoire of skills was far from exhausted; he still had powerful techniques left to unveil.

Once the moment was right, Si Haoyang would deal Lin Hao a fatal blow.

And clearly, that moment was not far off.

Because even from a great distance, Huangfu Yao could feel the rage simmering within Si Haoyang’s body.
