Chapter 702 - 698: Grandmist Appears, Jade Butterfly Emerges
In the fifth small world of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Hongmeng Purple Qi was spreading.
The wisps of Hongmeng Purple Qi were faint, but they were advancing toward the rest of the small world in a peculiar way.
In the very center, a drop of purple blood continued to boil, as if struggling to break free from its shackles.
The area around Lin Hao had become an Absolute Domain. Because of this, the void of the Nine Yang Void Realm showed no abnormalities. However, within Lin Hao’s Absolute Domain, a pressure capable of suppressing the nine heavens and ten earths was now being born.
This aura was a product of the purple blood’s transformation.
𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
It seemed poised to become the supreme, unrivaled power within this domain.
As the purple blood boiled, the seven wisps of Hongmeng Purple Qi that had been born underwent a second transformation.
Each wisp began to multiply.
As time passed, the fifth world was enveloped in purple, and this purple continued to spread outwards.
Eventually, the purple enveloped the entire Absolute Domain, severing its final connection with the Nine Yang Void Realm.
From within the Nine Yang Void Realm, it was now completely impossible to see what was happening inside the Absolute Domain.
At this moment, Lin Hao’s entire body had turned purple. The Lifebound True Blood in his Dantian glowed, splitting off one wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi after another, resonating with the fifth small world.
The true power of the Harmony Dominator Body came from the Lifebound True Blood. At this moment, the Lifebound True Blood was transforming, about to erupt with supreme divine might.
At that moment, within Lin Hao’s sea of consciousness, the Dao Sound began to chant. The two Great Emperor arts and the doppelgänger Secret Skill manifested as a stream of characters.
Immediately, these characters transformed into runes. Upon contact with the Hongmeng Purple Qi, they radiated a boundless light and then vanished.
They had merged into the Hongmeng Purple Qi, becoming a part of it.
Lin Hao’s True Self Divine Soul appeared in his sea of consciousness from his Upper Dantian. He began to re-simulate his cultivation, starting from the Blood Coagulation Realm.
The meridians within his True Self Divine Soul could be seen undergoing a transformation.
To be precise, the Hongmeng Purple Qi, born from the Dantian, was altering his meridians.
This was the Hongmeng Purple Qi remodeling his physique to forge a true Harmony Dominator Body.
The Harmony Dominator Body was unique. Its meridians and cultivation technique paths were vastly different from those of other Martial Artists.
Within his True Self Divine Soul, the Lifebound True Blood in his Dantian continuously split, first forming seven wisps of Hongmeng Purple Qi that became the meridians of Lin Hao’s body.
Then, these seven wisps transformed again, ultimately resulting in a total of forty-nine wisps of Hongmeng Purple Qi!
In the fifth world, the seven wisps of Hongmeng Purple Qi likewise multiplied into forty-nine.
BOOM!
At this moment, a rumble echoed within Lin Hao’s body. The Lifebound True Blood and the Tai Chi Array Map in his Dantian were spinning, about to merge into one!
At the same time, in Lin Hao’s sea of consciousness, his True Self Divine Soul was dissipating.
The moment it dissipated, a blurry shadow appeared in Lin Hao’s sea of consciousness.
This shadow was not human-shaped, but was actually a meditation cushion. It was very peaceful, without any terrifying phenomena, and it didn’t even have an oppressive aura.
But the moment it appeared, an absolute silence fell within Lin Hao’s body. Only the Lifebound True Blood and the Tai Chi Array Map in his Dantian continued to intertwine. However, their speed had greatly slowed, as if they were being suppressed.
Unfortunately, the meditation cushion vanished almost as soon as it had appeared.
At this very moment, Lin Hao, who was using his own body to suppress the Six Dao, suddenly opened his eyes.
"’Reclining high in the Ninth Heaven, the meditation cushion reveals the Dao’s truth. Beyond Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, one Qi becomes Hongmeng. When Hongmeng appears, the Jade Butterfly emerges.’ What does this mean?"
Lin Hao had committed his essence, qi, spirit, and even his Lifebound True Blood to suppress the Six Dao with his own body. He should have been in a state from which he absolutely could not awaken. But in the instant the meditation cushion vanished, he heard those words.
The phrase had an indescribable, magical power that pulled Lin Hao out of that state.
"After Lin Wu obtained his bloodline, the phenomenon of the Chaos Seed Cyan Lotus appeared in his body. That Cyan Lotus is supremely powerful. Does this mean the Jade Butterfly is also a phenomenon belonging to the Harmony Dominator Body?"
Lin Hao muttered to himself, then fell silent and closed his eyes again.
All the answers were in the phrase he had just heard. If he could comprehend it, everything would become clear.
Inside Lin Hao’s body, his meridians had been remodeled. All his Cultivation Techniques were no longer suitable for him, so he began to familiarize himself with this brand-new body.
He was a Harmony Dominator Body to begin with; this was merely a return to his true self. It took Lin Hao only a short time to master this body, and with it came an unprecedented feeling.
It was a sense of familiarity, as if his current meridians were how they were always meant to be.
Calm and composed, Lin Hao reviewed his own martial path, reflecting upon and verifying it with his new body.
A sudden tremor ran through his body, as if he’d had a great epiphany.
’The Path of Enlightenment, the Path of Enlightenment... The three thousand Great Daos all return to a single Qi. Forty-nine wisps of Hongmeng Purple Qi isn’t the ultimate limit, just as a martial realm has a Ninth Layer. The ’ultimate’ number represents heaven and earth, but it isn’t the Great Dao itself. The true number of Hongmeng Purple Qi wisps is fifty!’
Lin Hao understood the meaning of that phrase.
Now, Lin Hao finally knew where to start.
The key to every secret lay within his Lifebound True Blood.
As the forty-nine wisps of Hongmeng Purple Qi intertwined, the drop of purple blood—both in Lin Hao’s Dantian and in the fifth small world—stopped boiling. It seemed to have reached its limit in producing Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Yet, Lin Hao was utterly certain of his new understanding.
He expended his essence, qi, and spirit, continuing his deductions.
In Lin Hao’s sea of consciousness, scene after scene intertwined.
It was as if Lin Hao could see the path his future would take.
He achieved the Saint Position, but the entire world became his enemy. One after another, his family and beloved fell before his very eyes.
Ultimately, he became a Great Emperor. Behind him lay a mountain of skeletons—belonging to his family, his friends, his loved ones, and even his descendants.
At this moment, a voice asked him, "Is this what you wanted?"
A light bloomed in Lin Hao’s eyes; the Ten Thousand Realms submitted to him, and he reigned supreme over the nine heavens and ten earths. But the voice persisted, sneering, "So what if you’ve become a Great Emperor? You’ve lost everything, and you still can’t transcend the Celestial Dao."
"Heaven and Earth are not benevolent; they treat all living things as straw dogs! Then I will destroy heaven and earth and reforge their order! The world has no Dao, because I am the Dao!"
The Great Emperor Lin Hao was incomparably dominant, his voice shaking the nine heavens.
BOOM!
Lin Hao’s sea of consciousness roared. A blast of tribulation light erupted, and everything became obscured.
Lin Hao coughed up blood, his body swaying precariously.
But several phrases kept echoing in his mind.
"Heaven and Earth are not benevolent; they treat all living things as straw dogs!"
"Destroy heaven and earth and reforge their order!"
"The world has no Dao, because I am the Dao!"
Finally, as if in a daze, Lin Hao began to endlessly repeat the phrase, "I am the Dao, the Dao is me..."
The Lifebound True Blood and the Tai Chi Array Map intertwining in his Dantian spun faster and faster...
After an unknown amount of time, a horrifyingly powerful aura emanated from the Absolute Domain.
In Lin Hao’s Dantian, the Lifebound True Blood and the Tai Chi Array Map had completely intertwined.
"Creation Jade Butterfly."
Lin Hao softly spoke three words.
