Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

Lin Hao sat cross-legged in the void, his body having recovered to its peak condition.

At this moment, Huangfu Yao’s Secret Skill had not yet been withdrawn. Merged with the Zhe Character Skill, it had completely rejuvenated Lin Hao’s organs and meridians.

Within Lin Hao’s body, his vitality and blood were boiling, exulting as if they had gained life and were about to transform into living entities!

Outside, Huangfu Yao was horrified.

Lin Hao’s body had become a bottomless pit. The speed at which she could generate life force was actually struggling to keep up with the rate of his absorption.

At the same time, a powerful suction emerged from the bottomless pit, threatening to devour her own power.

Huangfu Yao acted decisively, immediately severing her connection with Lin Hao.

Inside Lin Hao’s body, his boiling vitality and blood surged, gathering toward the Upper Dantian where his True Self Divine Soul resided.

A strange sensation washed over Lin Hao. He felt that what was entrenched in his Upper Dantian wasn’t his True Self Divine Soul, but his very self.

Lin Hao had never experienced such a feeling before.

The Divine Soul and the physical body were now one, indistinguishable from each other. This was true perfection.

It was a qualitative leap forward.

With a thought, Lin Hao immersed his consciousness into the fourth of his six small worlds.

The fourth small world was a realm of utter nothingness. His True Self Divine Soul was situated within it, flickering in and out of existence.

Lin Hao reviewed his recent gains, intending to push his True Self Divine Soul to the next level.

Lin Hao remembered the aura of the life force with perfect clarity. He began to simulate it within the small world, and then reproduce it.

This was a lengthy process.

Of course, "lengthy" was only relative to Lin Hao’s own perception.

Lin Hao’s consciousness was completely immersed, simulating and recreating it again and again.

The fourth small world was not originally complete, but as Lin Hao continued his work, it began to undergo a strange transformation.

The body of the True Self Divine Soul, which had been flickering and merged with the void, gradually faded away until it vanished completely into the vast nothingness.

BOOM!

In Lin Hao’s sea of consciousness, the fourth small world trembled. An indescribable aura circulated within it, but in the end, it became utterly ordinary and empty.

Unlike the first three worlds, this fourth world was a complete void, with no visible matter whatsoever.

Yet, this was more or less the ultimate state of the fourth world.

The evolution of the fourth small world was complete!

At that very moment, Huangfu Yao, who had been standing in the void, flickered and vanished from her spot.

An aura capable of crushing the heavens was brewing within Lin Hao’s body. She had no choice but to retreat.

’Damn it!’

After retreating to a safe distance, Huangfu Yao looked toward the space opposite Lin Hao and cried out in alarm.

While helping Lin Hao and preventing his body from falling, she had also left Si Haoyang’s corpse suspended in the void.

Si Haoyang was a member of an ancient family who had died a humiliating death in this lower realm. She had intended to bring his body back to the Divine Demon Destruction Domain.

Of course, this wasn’t because she feared the Si family. In fact, she planned to take the body back to her own family to study the divinity gestating within it.

But now, a terrifying aura was brewing within Lin Hao, and his Absolute Domain was about to appear. Si Haoyang’s corpse was within its range.

If that corpse was caught in the Absolute Domain, it would likely be reduced to ashes.

Huangfu Yao wanted to save it. To that end, she looked at Lin Hao, hoping to find a solution.

But one look at him, and she completely forgot about Si Haoyang’s corpse.

The terrifying aura emanating from Lin Hao told her an utterly horrifying truth: Lin Hao had stepped into the Eighth Layer of Spirit Transformation Realm!

She was from the Divine Demon Destruction Domain, a successor of an ancient family, with vast knowledge of matters both ancient and modern. But she had never seen, or even heard of, anyone breaking through realms at such a speed!

Just a few days ago, when she first met him, Lin Hao had only been at the Third Layer of Spirit Transformation Realm!

"Heaven-defying" wasn’t even close to describing Lin Hao’s current promotion speed.

’This is the Spirit Transformation Realm, not the Elemental Realm! And even in the Elemental Realm, no one has such a cultivation speed. An illusion. This must be an illusion.’

Huangfu Yao muttered to herself, unable to believe what she was seeing.

The Elemental Realm was the initial stage of cultivation in the Divine Demon Destruction Domain, but even a peerless prodigy couldn’t possibly cultivate from the Third Layer to the Eighth Layer of the Elemental Realm in a matter of days!

But in fact, this was real. And upon careful reflection, one would realize that it was actually to be expected.

Whether it was in the Blood Coagulation Realm, the Elemental Realm, or the Soul Gathering Realm, Lin Hao’s foundation was incomparably solid. He had even reached the Extreme Realm in both the Blood Coagulation and Soul Gathering Realms. In a sense, Lin Hao had also entered the Extreme Realm in the Elemental Realm.

With his realms cultivated to the Extreme Realm, supported by Imperial Arts and his mysterious Lifebound True Blood, accompanied by the ever-present Dao Sound, and having shattered the shackles of the martial path to walk his own way...

All of these factors combined to create the most favorable conditions for Lin Hao’s cultivation to soar.

To advance to the Eighth Layer of Spirit Transformation Realm, all Lin Hao needed was a catalyst.

When Huangfu Yao’s life force merged with the Zhe Character Skill, the catalyst appeared.

Therefore, Lin Hao’s meteoric rise to the Eighth Layer of Spirit Transformation Realm in such a short time was simply a natural consequence of everything falling into place.

BOOM!

Huangfu Yao was still in a state of shock when a strange pulse of energy suddenly washed over her, jolting her back to reality.

In the next instant, Huangfu Yao retreated explosively.

The Absolute Domain created by Lin Hao was beyond imagination; the very space she now occupied was enveloped by it!

Once she stabilized herself again, Huangfu Yao noticed the six small worlds behind Lin Hao in the distance.

At this moment, six small worlds had appeared behind Lin Hao, and they were rotating.

Although she couldn’t feel their oppressive might due to them being inside the Absolute Domain, the rotating void at the center of the six small worlds was radiating a silent, divine power.

Si Haoyang’s corpse was suspended there before being crushed by the void at the center of the six small worlds, becoming its sustenance.

Huangfu Yao then saw a phantom figure.

Before she could process it, the phantom figure expanded explosively, completely filling the void at the center of the six small worlds.

If the six small worlds represented a universe of their own, then this phantom figure was now truly colossal, standing between heaven and earth.

Si Haoyang had been gestating a divinity within him—the divinity of a Saint.

Although it was just a wisp, the will of a Saint was incredibly powerful. How could it be willing to be crushed so easily?

The Saint’s divinity wanted to tear apart these Six Paths of Reincarnation and leap beyond the mortal coil!

The six small worlds began to revolve, and three of them lit up.

Immediately, a strange change occurred in the central region of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

A firmament was evolving there.

A sky full of stars appeared within it.

Then, a sun and a moon manifested simultaneously, before merging into one to form a Tai Chi Array Map.

A figure appeared in the firmament, the Tai Chi Array Map behind him and a sea of stars in the distance.

He seemed to have become the sovereign of that firmament.

Then, all three—the figure, the map, and the stars—vanished strangely, leaving the area an empty void once more.

But at that exact moment, Huangfu Yao saw the colossal Saint’s divinity attacking the empty space.

Huangfu Yao’s beautiful eyes widened. She was reminded of how Si Haoyang had died.

It was obvious: Lin Hao had deployed his True Self Divine Soul, which could merge with the void.

Of course, the thought was fleeting.

Right now, within Lin Hao’s Absolute Domain, a Saint’s divinity was about to battle the Six Paths of Reincarnation. This was a fight she did not want to miss.
