Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

The heritage of the ancient families was unfathomable. A terrifying aura surged from Si Haoyang’s body as Lin Hao’s provocations pushed him to unleash even greater power.

In the distance, the color drained from Huangfu Yao’s face.

"This is... He’s nurturing a Divine Being!"

Her beautiful eyes went wide as she spoke in horror.

The Si family was a true ancient family. It was rumored that in the Ancient Era, such families had produced Saints, and even Quasi-Emperors!

When a Saint underwent nirvanic rebirth, a Divine Being would be gestated within their body, representing supreme majesty.

The Divine Beings gestated within the bodies of Quasi-Emperors and Great Emperors were even more terrifying.

These Divine Beings were passed down through generations, indestructible for millennia, even eons!

It was for this very reason that the ancient families had never faded.

The descendants of these ancient families all had a chance to nurture a Divine Being within their bodies, though of course, the power they gained from it varied.

Huangfu Yao’s clan was also an ancient family. Although her own Divine Being couldn’t compare to Si Haoyang’s, she too nurtured one within her body. But she had never used it, for it was her ultimate trump card.

Now, Si Haoyang had actually resorted to such a measure. Huangfu Yao could hardly believe her eyes.

After all, Lin Hao and Si Haoyang were separated by several cultivation realms. To think he had pushed Si Haoyang to use such a technique was simply unimaginable.

It was no wonder Huangfu Yao felt this way; she wasn’t the one standing opposite Lin Hao, so she couldn’t feel the immense pressure Si Haoyang was enduring.

That cyan arrow contained his very essence. It had been an attack meant to be a guaranteed hit, yet he never imagined Lin Hao would turn it to his own advantage.

The space between the six small worlds warped. While they still hadn’t fully opened, the oppressive might they exuded grew even more terrifying.

And that was precisely why Si Haoyang had to unleash his strongest attack.

He knew full well the power of that cyan arrow.

It was a Secret Skill of the ancient families—a Secret Skill so profound that he had yet to fully master it. The moment the cyan arrow was unleashed, it carried the power to destroy a nation!

An attack like that, among those of the same realm, was something absolutely no one could receive—save for a truly peerless prodigy!

Yet an attack of that caliber had entered the space between the six small worlds and been utterly obliterated.

The oppressive might of those six small worlds was unrivaled throughout history!

Si Haoyang had already missed his chance. This time, he absolutely would not permit another failure.

Nurturing a Divine Being was a foundation only the great families possessed, for a Saint who had undergone nirvanic rebirth was a supreme existence, even in an age where gods and demons fell.

In the ten thousand years after Emperor Hongtian’s ascension, the Great Dao was suppressed, and no one could achieve the Saint Position. Most of the true Saints chose to seal themselves away, awaiting a time to reemerge.

If they did not seal themselves, they would pay a terrible price.

However, even though the Saints were sealed, Divine Beings would be born within the bodies of their descendants—a continuation of the Saints’ own vast life force.

A Divine Being possessed an unimaginable, terrifying energy. For example, though Si Haoyang possessed an Imperial Body, Lin Hao’s Harmony Dominator Body couldn’t exert its terrifying pressure on him—that was the work of the Divine Being.

Si Haoyang, born into an ancient family, had awakened the Divine Being of a Saint within him. The moment he activated it, a terrifying pressure began to permeate the air.

An arrow reappeared in the void!

This time, it was countless times more terrifying than the last. With Si Haoyang nurturing the Divine Being in his body, the power of the Secret Skill he used again had multiplied exponentially.

The hairs on Lin Hao’s body stood on end.

Although his cultivation had reached the Seventh Layer of Spirit Transformation Realm and he was now using the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the six small worlds were being suppressed by a strange energy, their rotational speed slowing considerably.

Within the six small worlds, even the scenes of creation were being affected.

Because of this, the moment the cyan arrow appeared, Lin Hao’s formidable Spiritual Sense immediately detected it.

A world-destroying pressure emanated from this arrow.

Lin Hao felt as if his body had been locked in place.

He thought he could see a phantom in the void, a figure that looked down upon the world with such disdain that it sent a chill through his entire being.

’This is the might of a Saint!’

Lin Hao was aghast, his expression turning incredibly grave.

"Hahaha, Lin Hao! What would you think if I told you this is merely a wisp of a Saint’s might?!"

Si Haoyang saw every detail of Lin Hao’s expression. Seeing that Lin Hao couldn’t even move, he was immensely pleased with himself.

Lin Hao had no time to answer.

Because the moment Si Haoyang began to speak, the cyan arrow was already upon him.

The cyan arrow now contained the might of Si Haoyang’s nurtured Divine Being; there was no way for Lin Hao to dodge.

The situation was critical. Lin Hao felt as if his very skin was being torn apart.

The arrow had yet to arrive; this was just the effect of the terrifying gale in its wake.

This was simply inconceivable. Lin Hao’s physical body was as tough as a Saint’s; for it to be torn by a mere gale should have been impossible.

But now, it was about to happen.

Lin Hao had a feeling that even if he used every method at his disposal, he still wouldn’t be able to stop this cyan arrow.

But at the critical moment, Lin Hao activated the Lin Character Skill. With a great roar, the void shattered, and the very clouds in the sky seemed on the verge of being torn apart.

Amidst Lin Hao’s roar, the three small worlds behind him, which had just been perfected, began to change.

From the first small world, the Tai Chi Array Map shot out to block the cyan arrow.

Though his Six Paths of Reincarnation was incomplete, Lin Hao’s command over the three perfected small worlds was already effortless.

These were the three worlds he had forged while re-cultivating the martial path, the fruits of his labor on the Path of Enlightenment.

As the Tai Chi Array Map shot out, Lin Hao immediately felt the pressure on him lessen significantly.

Without a second thought, Lin Hao shot backward. At the same time, with another command of his will, the Primordial Body from his second small world stepped forth.

BOOM!

The cyan arrow was terrifyingly powerful, piercing straight through the Tai Chi Array Map from the first small world.

Lin Hao was not at all surprised by this.

Si Haoyang’s current aura was unique. He was borrowing power—the might of an Ancient Saint. Though it was just a wisp, its divine power was still overwhelming.

If the Six Paths of Reincarnation were complete, he could naturally withstand this attack. But now, it was merely the power of a single world. Compared to such divine might, it was still not enough.

The moment the Tai Chi Array Map was pierced, Lin Hao’s Primordial Body appeared directly behind it.

Facing the cyan arrow and its overwhelming divine might, Lin Hao’s Primordial Body reached out its hand. Chaos Qi emerged, directly manifesting the power of a martial domain!

Then, Lin Hao’s Primordial Body clenched its hand into a fist and grabbed for the cyan arrow.

BOOM!

The Primordial Body’s grasp made the very void tremble. As its hand closed around the cyan arrow, a terrifying crack of impact resounded. A dull, dreadful noise emanated from the Primordial Body’s fist.

PFFT!

In the end, even Lin Hao’s Primordial Body could not withstand the arrow’s might. The hand gripping it exploded into pieces.

The Primordial Body glowed as Chaos Qi surged, but it still couldn’t stop the arrow.

BOOM!

Under the force of the arrow, the Primordial Body exploded.

The Tai Chi Array Map and the Primordial Body. The powers of two small worlds had been unable to stop this single arrow.

The cyan arrow still possessed astonishing divine might as it continued on its path to kill Lin Hao.

At that moment, the third small world stirred.

The patch of void was instantly transformed into day and night.

Then, a terrifying swarm of stars flew out from the third small world.

Ten thousand stars moved in unison, like the ten thousand swords of a soaring immortal!
