Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

Lin Hao’s eyes grew brilliant, a strange light flickering within them.

A moment later, a figure seated cross-legged appeared in Lin Hao’s sea of consciousness.

The figure, its back to him, was practicing a Cultivation Technique.

Lin Hao was scrutinizing his grandfather’s energy circulation route.

He cultivated the *Godslaying Celestial Slash Skill*, an Emperor-level skill that was the absolute bane of all evil techniques. If he could understand the path of his grandfather’s energy circulation, he might be able to find a solution.

Lin Hao’s eyes grew even more brilliant. In the outside world, he was staring, completely absorbed, at his grandfather’s body. Meanwhile, in his sea of consciousness, the image of his grandfather was gradually changing, becoming transparent.

Now, not a single subtle change escaped Lin Hao’s notice.

The figure in Lin Hao’s sea of consciousness became transparent, but its eight extraordinary meridians formed a stark contrast against the translucent body.

Within the transparent body, black True Essence was surging.

This was especially true in the Dantian, which was completely shrouded in black True Essence. The speed at which it churned there could only be described as terrifying.

The black True Essence in the Dantian was exceptionally violent and still growing at an astonishing rate.

Then, this black True Essence surged violently toward the body’s eight extraordinary meridians.

At that very moment, Lin Hao’s eyes widened, his expression changing drastically.

He realized that his grandfather’s body could no longer withstand such violent True Essence.

If this absorption continued, the eight extraordinary meridians would surely shatter.

Without a second thought, Lin Hao activated his Cultivation Technique.

The black energy that had been swarming his grandfather’s body instantly halted, then began converging on Lin Hao with even greater ferocity.

As long as no more black energy entered his grandfather’s body, he would be temporarily safe.

The black energy in the surrounding world formed a terrifying tornado that funneled into Lin Hao’s body.

This energy was born of extreme yin and cold and had been cultivated by countless others. If anyone else were to absorb it, they would surely fall into demonic corruption. But Lin Hao was different; as soon as the black energy entered his body, he immediately began refining it.

However, this black energy was formidable. His Emperor-level skill alone couldn’t completely refine it. A portion still entered Lin Hao’s lower Dantian, while another part traveled toward his Upper Dantian.

The black energy was extremely bizarre, possessing a strange, demonic nature. It sought to invade Lin Hao’s Dantian and corrupt his Divine Soul.

But Lin Hao’s Dantian contained not only the Tai Chi Array Map but also purple blood. The moment the black energy entered, it was enveloped and directly refined by the purple blood.

The Harmony Dominator Body was a bloodline of myth, its power shaking the very foundations of history. It possessed an innate pressure that would not tolerate an invasion by such an evil force.

And the True Self Divine Soul in Lin Hao’s Upper Dantian was equally terrifying.

As this black energy entered, it was directly converted into nourishment for his True Self Divine Soul.

It was unknown how long this place had existed, and the black energy was extremely dense. For a moment, Lin Hao found he couldn’t absorb it all.

In response, Lin Hao split his focus. While refining the black energy, he never stopped monitoring his grandfather’s body.

In Lin Hao’s sea of consciousness, the black True Essence in the transparent figure’s Dantian was still terrifying and violent, but it had been brought under control.

Lin Hao discovered his grandfather was guiding it toward his Upper Dantian.

At the same time, his grandfather’s aura was rising steadily.

Then, something even more terrifying happened.

An even more bizarre black True Essence gushed out from the Upper Dantian, passed through the eight extraordinary meridians at extreme speed, and reached the lower Dantian.

The next moment, Lin Hao saw his grandfather’s Dantian tremble.

The bizarre black True Essence surged in faster, creating a vortex directly inside his Dantian.

The vortex was not obvious at first, but before long, it became crystal clear and was growing more terrifying.

In the end, nine large vortexes appeared, revolving around the very center of the Dantian.

The very center of the Dantian was where the Lifebound True Blood was located.

At this point, Lin Hao saw that his grandfather’s Lifebound True Blood had become extremely bizarre. It was pitch-black, with only a hint of yellow visible in its very depths.

This meant that his grandfather’s original constitution was a battle body.

The nine vortexes spun, emitting a bizarre aura.

If Lin Hao were only watching with his eyes, he never would have been able to perceive this. But now, in his sea of consciousness, not even the slightest fluctuation could escape his senses.

He was stunned to discover that the nine vortexes were generating a type of energy, which was simultaneously spreading to cover the Lifebound True Blood.

Clearly, it was trying to assimilate all of the Lifebound True Blood.

Lin Hao sensed that something was wrong.

Just then, he had finished absorbing all the black energy. He immediately took action, focusing on his grandfather’s replica within his consciousness.

The image in his sea of consciousness was just a copy of his grandfather; Lin Hao could experiment on it to find a solution.

In his sea of consciousness, Lin Hao appeared behind the replica of his grandfather and pressed his palm against its back.

Lin Hao didn’t activate the *Godslaying Celestial Slash Skill*. Instead, he slowly channeled his own True Essence into the body.

At first, Lin Hao only channeled a tiny amount, but as soon as this True Essence entered, it was instantly devoured by the black True Essence.

This black True Essence was more terrifying than Lin Hao had imagined.

So, Lin Hao drove his True Essence forward again, smashing through all resistance to reach the Dantian.

There, Lin Hao’s True Essence was devoured once again.

The nine vortexes possessed an unimaginably terrifying power. Not only was Lin Hao’s True Essence devoured, but it was also converted into their nourishment.

This caught Lin Hao by surprise.

At this point, Lin Hao decided to stop channeling his True Essence and instead activated the *Godslaying Celestial Slash Skill*.

BOOM!

The Emperor-level skill was terrifying. The moment Lin Hao unleashed it, the nine vortexes in the transparent figure’s Dantian all trembled and united to counter it.

The nine vortexes spun at an unimaginable speed, giving birth to a bizarre energy.

This energy was actually capable of resisting the Emperor-level skill!

This was horrifying.

But the resistance was brief. Lin Hao had cultivated his Emperor-level skill to a terrifying degree, and it had also merged with the Dao Sound. As terrifying as the power of the nine vortexes was, it was ultimately no match.

In Lin Hao’s sea of consciousness, the black True Essence within the transparent figure’s eight extraordinary meridians vanished, ultimately turning into a True Essence resembling Chaos Qi.

However, even now, the nine vortexes were still resisting.

Lin Hao was inwardly astonished.

He was using an Emperor-level skill, after all, one with the divine might to suppress anything. Most energies wouldn’t just fail to resist; they would disintegrate instantly.

But this energy, although outmatched, had a soaring battle intent and showed no fear of the Emperor-level skill. This was simply heaven-defying.

However, no matter how heaven-defying it was, it could not escape the fate of being refined.

In the end, the transparent figure in Lin Hao’s sea of consciousness became clear. The black True Essence in its eight extraordinary meridians was gone, replaced by a slightly turbid Chaos True Essence.

This was within Lin Hao’s expectations, but the state of the Lifebound True Blood in the Dantian was a huge surprise.
