Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

Si Haoming threw a punch, his essence, qi, and spirit uniting.

It lacked any terrifying pressure, seeming like a punch from a three-year-old child, but in Lin Hao’s eyes, it was utterly horrifying.

It had returned to a state of pure simplicity, yet possessed the power to annihilate all creation.

Lin Hao’s expression shifted, and he reacted instantly.

The void trembled as six miniature worlds materialized behind Lin Hao.

Facing Si Haoming’s strike, Lin Hao immediately unleashed the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

As the Six Paths of Reincarnation emerged, his Absolute Domain instantly sealed the void, making Lin Hao the master of this realm.

But Lin Hao’s eyes narrowed.

Because Si Haoming was far too calm.

His punch had been ground to nothing within the Absolute Domain, yet he showed no reaction whatsoever. This put Lin Hao on high alert.

"So this is the Six Paths of Reincarnation. More terrifying than I imagined. Fifth Brother certainly didn’t die for nothing. A pity it’s incomplete. You have no hope of victory using it in its current state."

Si Haoming stood within Lin Hao’s Absolute Domain, gazing at the six miniature worlds behind him with utter indifference.

Lin Hao gathered his power in secret, offering no reply.

’This Si Haoming had also descended to the lower realm at the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak, yet he was utterly fearless. He must have an ace up his sleeve.’

The ancient families had unfathomable resources, and Lin Hao knew the Si family had already figured out his Six Paths of Reincarnation. For Si Haoming to descend under these circumstances, he had to be absolutely confident.

That was precisely why Lin Hao had unleashed the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation from the start.

He was now pouring everything he had learned into the six miniature worlds. In a way, this represented his peak combat strength.

But it still wasn’t enough.

Only by continuously evolving and perfecting the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and ultimately opening the Reincarnation Dao, could it unleash its true power.

As it was, the Six Paths of Reincarnation was like a Martial Artist with severed limbs; its strength was severely diminished, capable of exerting only a fraction of its potential.

"Lin Hao, the ancient families are behemoths. Any random member of my Si family could annihilate you. I’ll give you a chance to live."

When Lin Hao didn’t reply, Si Haoming continued, his words contradicting what he’d just said.

Just moments ago, he had been vowing to kill Lin Hao. How much time had passed? And he’d already changed his mind.

A mocking smile touched Lin Hao’s lips. "Your ancient families are certainly impressive. I’ve yet to witness your cultivation, but I’ve already seen your talent for going back on your word. Frankly, I preferred what you said before."

Si Haoming knew exactly which words Lin Hao meant, but he didn’t get angry. "I simply don’t wish to do someone else’s dirty work for them. What if I told you that countless factions from the upper realm are on the move, preparing to descend and seize your destiny? What then?"

Lin Hao’s expression flickered.

The factions in the Divine Demon Destruction Domain were a tangled and complex web. It was impossible to know how many Martial Artists from rival powers had infiltrated the major factions, feeding useful intelligence back to their masters.

Back then, this was precisely why the Carefree Divine Monarch had been ambushed and killed after obtaining the Godslaying Celestial Slash Skill, his body and soul utterly destroyed.

Clearly, his presence in the Nine Yang Void Realm had been exposed.

Lin Hao’s expression shifted, and a vicious glint flashed in his eyes. "You think that’s enough to make me negotiate? I only trust my fists."

He didn’t care what scheme Si Haoming, or the Si family behind him, was plotting. He would never be naive enough to trust these families. His only chance of survival was to break out now.

Before the words had even left his mouth, Lin Hao struck.

The True Self Divine Soul residing in the fourth miniature world stirred.

Concealed within the void, it drew upon the divine might of the first three miniature worlds and slashed toward Si Haoming.

Si Haoming’s eyes narrowed, but he remained motionless.

The next moment, an object materialized above Si Haoming’s head.

The moment it was revealed, cracks spiderwebbed through Lin Hao’s Absolute Domain.

The True Self Divine Soul, which had been hidden in the void, was forced back.

Lin Hao’s eyes narrowed to slits.

A scroll now floated above Si Haoming’s head.

It was impossible to tell how many eons the scroll had existed, but an ancient and desolate aura washed over the area.

Strands of Chaos Qi swirled upon its surface as ripples spread out from it in every direction.

"This is the Nine Nether Array Map, an ancient treasure. If I were to fully activate it, what do you think your chances of survival would be?" A mocking expression appeared on Si Haoming’s face.

"We’ll see after I try!"

Lin Hao’s fighting spirit surged as he spoke, taking a single step forward.

The six miniature worlds spun, generating an even more terrifying power as Lin Hao struck.

A massive hand seal appeared in the void. At first glance, it resembled the Immovable Wisdom King Seal, but a terrifying Dao Rhyme flowed within it.

Not only that, but the Absolute Domain that Si Haoming had torn apart no longer filled the void; instead, it was now contained within the massive hand seal.

Wherever the hand seal went, the Absolute Domain followed.

This Absolute Domain was even stronger than the one Lin Hao had just manifested.

The hand seal flew toward the Nine Nether Array Map above Si Haoming’s head, pressing forward with an indomitable momentum capable of suppressing all things.

This hand seal contained all of Lin Hao’s essence, qi, and spirit; its divine might was immeasurable.

Si Haoming’s expression changed.

The Nine Nether Array Map hovering above him trembled and shot into the sky to meet the massive hand seal descending from the void.

At almost the exact same moment, the True Self Divine Soul in the fourth miniature world moved again, aiming to annihilate Si Haoming.

Its speed was incredible.

Si Haoming’s Spiritual Sense was astonishing, and his reaction speed was even more so. With a roar, cyan-colored runes burst from his body, forming a large cocoon that enveloped him completely.

He had directly mobilized the power of his Lifebound True Blood, and the profound mysteries of runes flowed within the defense.

PTHOO!

However, the True Self Divine Soul was overwhelmingly powerful. The cocoon remained intact, but Si Haoming, inside it, coughed up blood.

At the same time, the collision between the giant hand seal and the Nine Nether Array Map generated a world-shaking shockwave.

In the end, the massive hand seal was ground into oblivion. The Nine Nether Array Map dimmed slightly but remained floating in the void.

SWISH!

Lin Hao was about to strike again, but the Nine Nether Array Map tore through the void and shot directly toward his True Self Divine Soul.

Its speed was beyond description; even Lin Hao was a fraction of a second too slow.

Lin Hao made an instant decision. He retracted the Six Paths of Reincarnation and began to retreat in a single direction.

News of his appearance in the Nine Yang Void Realm had leaked. If he didn’t flee now, he would have no chance to escape once the major powers from the upper realm descended.

Behind him, a terrifying sonic boom erupted. The True Self Divine Soul in the fourth world had collided with the Nine Nether Array Map, creating an even more horrifying shockwave of energy.

Lin Hao, moving at extreme speed, faltered for a moment.

He sensed that the True Self Divine Soul in the fourth world had been heavily damaged.

"Lin Hao, you’re not getting away! Nine Netherworld, Seal the Heavens!"

Si Haoming’s voice thundered through the void.

BUZZ!

The Nine Nether Array Map then erupted with a searing light that enveloped the entire sky.

Lin Hao’s expression changed.

The very fabric of the world had been altered; this entire region of space was now sealed.

The Nine Nether Array Map was overwhelmingly powerful, sealing the heavens and the earth, intending to trap him within the Nine Yang Void Realm.

Lin Hao’s body began to glow. He threw a punch, blasting it toward the void...
