Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

The Devil Emperor’s killing intent flared. The moment he spoke, he attacked with a single finger.

He merely pointed a finger, and the firmament warped in response.

Day and night intertwined as the void collapsed.

A scorching sun shattered, a full moon fell to the earth, and stars were extinguished.

Lin Hao’s expression changed.

This surpassed the scope of the Martial Realm.

It went without saying that the Devil Emperor’s true body had definitely surpassed the Sealed Martial Realm and reached the Yin-Yang Realm.

But that wasn’t the real reason for the change in Lin Hao’s expression.

The Devil Emperor at this moment was just a clone in the Sealed Martial Realm. The true reason for Lin Hao’s alarm was that this clone was using a martial attack from the Yin-Yang Realm.

As that finger pointed out, everything in Lin Hao’s vision ceased to exist.

The world, all creation, even the heavens themselves, vanished.

In all of heaven and earth, only that finger was eternal.

This was the Devil Emperor. A single finger from him was enough to scorn the world!

Facing this finger, Lin Hao responded with overwhelming force.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation began to spin as he unleashed it.

This time, the Six Paths of Reincarnation spun at an extreme speed, transforming completely into a divine disk that crashed toward the Devil Emperor’s finger.

Another heaven-shaking collision erupted.

This one was even more terrifying than the last.

The area around them transformed into an ocean of glyphs. Even the firmament vanished, obscured by the symbols.

Heaven and earth became a swath of chaos as the glyphs forged a new sky!

The divine disk formed by the Six Paths of Reincarnation shattered amidst the glyphs, and Lin Hao’s body was sent flying an unknown distance.

Fresh blood also dripped from the Devil Emperor’s finger.

"You’ve wounded me again. Very good."

The Devil Emperor’s body flickered. He instantly caught up to Lin Hao, looking down on him with an air of absolute dominion over the world.

His entire body was shrouded in a divine ring, hazy and indistinct, yet his aura was piercingly sharp.

"Lin Hao, I’ll give you two choices: submit or die!"

Lin Hao was severely wounded, but the Devil Emperor was so overconfident that he didn’t press his advantage.

"It doesn’t matter that you’re just a clone. Even if your true body were here, I would still have only one word for you."

Lin Hao’s body was stained red with blood, his eyes icy cold.

"Kill!"

The word, imbued with supreme divine might, actually solidified the moment it left Lin Hao’s lips.

Moreover, the word was composed entirely of glyphs, which intertwined to exude a soul-shaking divine might.

Just moments ago, Lin Hao had used the God-Drawing Brush to write the word "Kill" and annihilate the six Divine Chains manifested by the Devil Emperor. The word he now shouted carried a similarly world-shaking pressure, suffused with the power of the Martial Realm.

The word seemed to invisibly manifest a great, sky-spanning net, intending to bind the Devil Emperor.

"Hmph!"

The Devil Emperor let out a cold, disdainful snort.

An invisible pressure filled the sky, and the word shattered into pieces in the void.

But just then, a sudden change occurred.

Although the word "Kill" had split apart, it didn’t shatter completely. Instead, it transformed into six Celestial Swords, from which a monstrous, bloody aura surged.

Ancient glyphs flickered upon the Celestial Swords, making them even more terrifying.

Fast!

The speed of the six Celestial Swords was indescribable; even the Devil Emperor was nearly struck down.

He was enveloped by the Endless Divine Ring and dodged the attacks of five Celestial Swords, but one of them broke directly through the divine ring and thrust inside.

Although that Celestial Sword was ultimately ground to dust, the Devil Emperor was left in a sorry state.

"The power of the Six Dao, fused into a single word... Your talent is enough to shake even me. I cannot let you live today!"

The Devil Emperor spoke, and attacked once more.

This time, his attack was so fast that Lin Hao could only resort to one option—flee!

After cultivating to the Dragon Transformation Dao Realm, Lin Hao’s Heaven-Stepping Step had reached a level of unfathomable mystery.

With a single movement of his feet, Lin Hao’s body had already stepped upon the heavens and ascended.

The Devil Emperor’s strike missed.

After missing the first strike, the Devil Emperor didn’t pause, attacking again and again.

However, Lin Hao’s footwork was so unpredictable that by the time the Devil Emperor located his body, he was already a finger-snap too late.

"Seal!"

The Devil Emperor spoke the word, and the Endless Divine Ring around him suddenly expanded, spreading out ten thousand miles in the span of a finger-snap. Then, a divine light shot up into the sky.

Immediately after, the divine ring began to contract at an astonishing speed.

It was a move to trap Lin Hao within the divine ring.

Lin Hao was still nowhere to be seen, but the Devil Emperor made his move.

Within this sealed space, Lin Hao once again dodged the Devil Emperor’s attack, but blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He had suffered a violent impact.

The gap between him and the Devil Emperor was too great.

Lin Hao’s speed didn’t seem to slow, but the Devil Emperor suddenly appeared right in front of him.

In this ever-shrinking sealed space, it had become much easier for the Devil Emperor to discern Lin Hao’s movements.

But just then, Lin Hao gave a strange smile.

In the next moment, the Devil Emperor coughed up blood and was sent flying.

Lin Hao’s body was also sent flying.

At the same time, the seal created by the divine ring was broken.

"Sealed Martial Realm!"

The Devil Emperor spat out three words, looking exceptionally furious.

Lin Hao had deceived and outmaneuvered him.

After entering the Dragon Transformation Dao Realm, Lin Hao had gained the ability to break through to the Sealed Martial Realm at any time. He had simply held back, waiting for the right moment to land a killing blow.

In other words, Lin Hao had just now taken a blow on purpose to make him lower his guard.

The thought flashed through the Devil Emperor’s mind in an instant. He took a sudden step forward, rushing toward the incoming Lin Hao.

The gap between the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak and the Sealed Martial Realm First Layer was immense, but Lin Hao had been able to withstand his attacks even while at the Spirit Transformation Realm. Now that Lin Hao had broken through to the Sealed Martial Realm First Layer, he was far more terrifying than others at that level.

’Everything that just happened was part of Lin Hao’s plan. He must have already figured out a countermeasure for me being sent flying, so I’ll do the exact opposite.’

This thought flashed through the Devil Emperor’s mind, so instead of retreating, he advanced.

Lin Hao’s movements, which had been as smooth as flowing water, now showed a trace of sluggishness.

In the next moment, Lin Hao was sent flying once again.

But at almost the exact same time, every hair on the Devil Emperor’s body stood on end.

He wanted to retreat, but it was too late.

In the next instant, the Devil Emperor’s entire body exploded.

And at that moment, a figure appeared where his body had just exploded.

It was another Lin Hao.

The Secret Skill that the turtle egg had taught Lin Hao had proven its worth once again.

Lin Hao had long since anticipated the Devil Emperor’s every move. He had secretly set a trap, hiding a Primordial Body in the void to deliver the final, killing blow.

He recalled the Primordial Body, and only a single Lin Hao remained in the void.

However, Lin Hao didn’t relax in the slightest. His expression was incredibly grave.

An oppressive power that stifled him still lingered in the world.

The next moment, Lin Hao’s pupils contracted sharply.

In the void where the Devil Emperor’s clone had exploded, a figure coalesced once more. The Devil Emperor had reappeared!

The reappeared Devil Emperor was far more terrifying than before; a chill ran through Lin Hao’s entire body.

But fear had no place in Lin Hao’s vocabulary. His Primordial Body, True Self Divine Soul, and Six Paths of Reincarnation all stirred, ready to fight back against this Devil Emperor.

To Lin Hao’s surprise, however, this Devil Emperor didn’t attack.

He didn’t even speak.

He was now enveloped in Chaos Qi, and that heroic, world-scorning air had returned, even stronger than before.

Lin Hao felt his gaze, and the qi and blood in his body surged. Even the Creation Jade Butterfly in his Dantian began to vibrate.

This was a phenomenon he had never experienced before.

If the Devil Emperor were to attack now, Lin Hao didn’t know if he could withstand it.
