Chapter 542 - 538: Body Reconstruction
In the void, Lin Hao’s blood and bones were reforming, but no one could witness the scene.
A moment later, the reforming blood and bones had already taken the rough shape of a body. A skeleton was formed.
At the same time, Lin Hao’s Lifebound True Blood had become even brighter than before.
Then, the light quivered, enveloping the skeleton.
The light of the True Blood seemed to possess an immense power, and the skeleton began to undergo a strange transformation as it was bathed in the radiance.
Listening closely, one could even hear an extremely faint sound.
Gradually, the sound grew louder and louder...
Eventually, the strange sound echoed throughout the entire void.
It was an astounding sight.
After all, the skeleton was incomparably tiny within the vast, boundless void.
And yet, the sound emanating from this tiny skeleton filled the entire void.
Listening closely, one could tell the strange sound seemed to contain some kind of ineffable, magical power.
Amidst the sound, the door in the void—which had been reduced to a mere sliver of a crack—seemed to be pushed open much wider.
At the same time, bathed in the sound, the skeleton began to glow.
The light of the True Blood quivered continuously, as if refining the skeleton.
How miraculous!
The skeleton changed color, eventually becoming as clear as crystal.
Just then, the True Blood quivered again, and the blood surrounding it immediately surged toward the skeleton.
From the core of True Blood, a single thread emerged from the Dantian, traveled up through the body, and shot straight toward the skeleton’s head.
BOOM!
The next moment, the skeleton’s head began to glow.
Peering through the crystal-clear skull, one could see a drop of blood boiling in the location of the Upper Dantian.
The drop of blood boiled with astonishing speed, growing larger and larger until, finally, a human form took shape within it.
Lin Hao!
It was a miniature version of Lin Hao!
A Divine Soul!
His True Self Divine Soul had been reborn.
As the True Self Divine Soul was reborn, the body began to glow, releasing layer after layer of light.
Flesh and blood now appeared on the once-crystalline skeleton, quickly spreading to cover every part of it.
In what felt like both an instant and an eternity, the skeleton vanished. In its place stood a man, one whose fair skin would make even fairies jealous.
This man was, of course, Lin Hao.
Having endured annihilation in the void, Lin Hao’s body had finished reforming. His rebirth was nearly complete!
Lin Hao floated silently in the void, his eyes tightly shut, looking incomparably sacred.
Suddenly, Lin Hao’s eyes snapped open.
BOOM!
The mere act of him opening his eyes triggered a deafening explosion in the void.
Lin Hao’s eyes were so brilliant they illuminated the entire void.
After pausing for less than a breath, Lin Hao moved.
His movements were incredibly fast, bringing him before the Void Gate in an instant.
By now, the Void Gate had shrunk to a faint point of light, on the verge of disappearing completely.
Lin Hao let out a great roar that shook the very space around him.
At the same time, he swung his fist and smashed it toward the tiny point of light...
In the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion’s Elder Hall, a group of elders argued heatedly over Lin Hao and Lin Wu, red-faced and on the verge of coming to blows.
If not for the restrictive wards placed here, the entire Heaven-Breaking Pavilion would have been shaken by their dispute.
Ultimately, it was only when the head of the Elder Hall spoke that the two factions finally quieted down.
The silence did not last long before a voice broke it.
"Reporting to the elders, all the examinees who passed the trial of the Starry Sky Ancient Road have been brought to the gates of the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion."
"I’ll leave this matter for you and Ying Rui to handle," the head of the Elder Hall said.
With a peerless genius like Lin Hao having perished on the Starry Sky Ancient Road, he had no heart to deal with the other Martial Artists.
"Jianzhong accepts the order," a voice replied from outside.
"Alas!" Another sigh echoed from within the Elder Hall.
Outside the Elder Hall, a middle-aged man had just turned to leave when a sudden chill ran down his spine, making him shiver.
The elders of the Elder Hall were all at the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak; even at the Fifth Layer of Spirit Transformation Realm, he felt oppressed in their presence.
This middle-aged man was, in fact, one of those who had gone to seek an audience with the Pavilion Master of Heaven-Breaking Pavilion.
’Hua Jianzhong, your chance has arrived. You must seize it!’ As he strode quickly away from the Elder Hall, a determined light flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man, Hua Jianzhong.
With that, he took a single, great stride.
A moment later, Hua Jianzhong landed before the main gate of the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion.
By this time, a large crowd of Martial Artists had already gathered there.
These were all Martial Artists from the six major Saint Institutes who had passed the trial of the Starry Sky Ancient Road.
As for the other Martial Artists who had entered the Starry Sky Ancient Road before them, they were nowhere to be found, their whereabouts unknown.
The Martial Artists from the six major Saint Institutes were all filled with questions.
For instance, why had the promised Six Institutes Grand Tournament not taken place, and why were they now standing before the gates of the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion?
And where had all the Martial Artists who entered the Starry Sky Ancient Road ahead of them gone?
After all, many of them were relying on those Martial Artists as their patrons.
They might have enjoyed boundless prestige in their respective empires, but before the gates of the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion, they instinctively felt an oppressive pressure that silenced them all.
The Heaven-Breaking Pavilion lay nestled within the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Its gates were wide open, yet the silence emanating from within was unsettling to all.
Peering through the open gates, they could see nothing but a vast expanse of white mist, obscuring everything beyond.
An overwhelmingly terrifying aura emanated from within the mist.
This was the Holy Land for Martial Artists on the Celestial Yang Continent. Its foundation was unfathomably deep, a fact that made every heart pound with trepidation.
To be located amidst the Hundred Thousand Mountains, home to countless terrifying Devil Beasts, and still dare to leave its gates wide open—what an incredible display of dominance!
These Martial Artists were even more astounded when they saw the middle-aged man standing before the Pavilion’s gate.
A casual sweep of his gaze was enough to make them feel as if they had been plunged into an icy abyss.
Without a doubt, this man was a Spirit Transformation Realm expert.
Before the crowd could even recover from their shock, another person appeared at the gates of the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion.
Although this person’s aura was restrained, none of the Martial Artists who passed the trial of the Starry Sky Ancient Road were fools. They could all sense the terrifying power he held within.
Needless to say, this was yet another Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artist.
In the six major empires, Martial Artists of this caliber were as rare as a phoenix’s feather. But in the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion, it seemed that even a random person could possess Spirit Transformation Realm cultivation.
This was the disparity.
The shock they felt only served to strengthen their resolve to enter the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion.
Just then, Hua Jianzhong spoke. "I know you all have many questions..."
He paused, and seeing that everyone was hanging on his every word, Hua Jianzhong gave a slight smile. "But I have no intention of answering them. In the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion, you must find the answers to all questions yourselves."
Seeing their stunned expressions, Hua Jianzhong changed his tone. "However, I do have one piece of good news for you all. The Heaven-Breaking Pavilion has no forbidden grounds. As long as you have the ability, you may go anywhere you please."
Hearing this, however, the crowd felt no excitement at all.
