Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

The third small world burst into motion—ten thousand stars stirred, a myriad of immortal swords took flight with unbelievable speed.

The azure arrow heading for Lin Hao’s body was stopped.

Ten thousand stars moved as one, forcibly halting the azure arrow!

Si Haoyang’s eyes narrowed, and another azure arrow immediately flew out.

This was a powerful Secret Skill from an ancient noble family. With his current cultivation, Si Haoyang shouldn’t have been able to manifest a second arrow. But he was currently nurturing a deity within his body, allowing him to borrow a sliver of an Ancient Saint’s divine might.

A Saint’s divine might was world-shaking; even a mere sliver was enough for him to launch two more attacks.

Realizing the first arrow was about to disintegrate, Si Haoyang decisively launched the second.

The second arrow was also incredibly fast, exceeding the limits of speed. But the moment it was launched, Si Haoyang realized it could have been even faster.

The void had now turned to day and night. While this had no effect whatsoever on his vision, its impact on the arrow was significant.

Because this was the power of a martial dao domain!

It had to be said that Lin Hao was a dazzling talent. After re-cultivating the martial dao, each of his small worlds had become a martial dao domain.

When the third small world stirred, the void turned to day and night. This, too, was a display of absolute control over a martial dao domain.

The area shrouded in night was Lin Hao’s martial dao domain.

Although the azure arrow was made exceptionally powerful by the sliver of a Saint’s divine might, it was still affected within Lin Hao’s martial dao domain, even if the effect was small enough to be negligible.

However, within Lin Hao’s domain, the night was not the most terrifying part. The most terrifying part was the power of the ten thousand stars.

BOOM!

𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Just then, the first azure arrow shattered in the void.

Ten thousand stars stirred, a myriad of immortal swords flew—a power that could make even gods fall!

This was Lin Hao’s domain, and he possessed absolute control. He detected the second arrow the moment it moved.

With the first arrow shattered, the ten thousand stars moved as one, and the myriad of immortal swords flew forth, all crashing into the second arrow.

It was a massive collision.

The power of the azure arrow was undeniable, as neither the Tai Chi Array Map from the first small world nor the Primordial Body from the second had been able to budge it.

Although the ten thousand stars now moved as one, without the buffer of the Tai Chi Array Map and the Primordial Body, they were like rotten wood before the azure arrow.

Star after star crashed into the azure arrow, but it was like moths drawn to a flame.

But there were too many stars—an infinite, seemingly inexhaustible supply.

The azure arrow had been unstoppable, tearing through everything in its path, but its speed finally began to dwindle.

The azure arrow launched by Si Haoyang, who was nurturing a deity, was exceptionally powerful. A single star was utterly fragile before it, no more than a speck of light. But when infinite stars combined, the result was a terrifying sight.

In the distance, Si Haoyang’s expression changed drastically.

This was his most powerful technique. If Lin Hao managed to overcome it, it would be an absolute nightmare for him.

’No!’ Si Haoyang roared inwardly.

Burning his Lifebound True Blood, he frantically nurtured the deity within him.

Even though he was a disciple from an ancient noble family, the deity he nurtured was not particularly powerful. To strengthen it required a great fortuitous encounter.

Lin Hao’s performance had backed him into an unprecedented crisis. His only choice was to use his Lifebound True Blood to nurture the deity, strengthening it in a short period of time.

SWISH! SWISH!

In the end, two more azure arrows flew out, intended to kill Lin Hao on the spot.

PTOO!

Even Si Haoyang couldn’t withstand using his Lifebound True Blood in such a way. He coughed up blood the instant the azure arrows shot out.

But seeing the azure arrows fly toward their target, he smiled.

This was despite the fact that the second arrow he had launched had just shattered.

’I refuse to believe Lin Hao can block these next two arrows!’

RUMBLE!

The ten thousand stars became ten thousand swords, blocking the third arrow, but the fourth arrow flew straight for Lin Hao.

Although stars tried to block its path, they were utterly insignificant before this arrow.

"Lin Hao, I refuse to believe you can still defy the heavens!"

Si Haoyang wiped the blood from his mouth and stared at Lin Hao, muttering under his breath.

Meanwhile, Lin Hao’s body was rumbling, and sweat poured down his forehead like a river.

He was mobilizing the True Self Divine Soul from his fourth small world.

His first three small worlds had reached Great Perfection, allowing him to command them with a mere thought. The fourth small world, however, was different; it was not yet perfected.

It was difficult for Lin Hao to draw it out and manifest it from the fourth small world.

At this moment, Lin Hao split his focus.

With a single thought, the True Self Divine Soul from his Upper Dantian appeared and struck, swatting its palm down at the azure arrow.

The palm strike seemed simple and plain, yet it was terrifyingly powerful, like the strike of a giant.

Lin Hao was attaining enlightenment. As he attacked now, he forgot all his previous techniques; every martial art and Secret Skill in his memory was being channeled into this one palm strike.

The Great Dao is simplicity itself; the Dao becomes one with nature.

Lin Hao’s martial dao path was ascending to a higher level.

It could be said that this palm strike surpassed both his Heaven-Shaking Stance and his Immovable King’s Seal. Yet even this supremely powerful strike was still weak before the azure arrow.

At this moment, the terrifying power of the nurtured deity was truly revealed.

As the True Self Divine Soul’s palm struck, a phantasmal figure unexpectedly materialized from within the azure arrow.

The phantasmal figure swelled at an unimaginable speed, then struck back to meet the blow.

The expected massive collision never happened. Instead, the phantasmal figure attacked with an inscrutable technique, punching right through the void.

Immediately, Lin Hao’s True Self Divine Soul was imprisoned, about to be cast into the void.

This was the power of a nurtured deity—a might beyond all imagination.

Fortunately, at that moment, Lin Hao finally succeeded in connecting his mind to the fourth small world.

BOOM!

The True Self Divine Soul that was fused with the void in the fourth small world swept through, shattering the prison created by the deity-nurturing power.

The two True Self Divine Souls merged into one and crashed into the azure arrow.

This was a truly massive collision. The world roared, mountains crumbled, and the Jiujiang River burst its banks.

PTOO!

Lin Hao spat out a mouthful of blood, his body reeling as if struck by lightning.

The world returned to clarity; the power of the domain Lin Hao had created was gone.

In that final exchange, the azure arrow had shattered, but Lin Hao’s body had also been grievously wounded.

As the azure arrow shattered, a sliver of the deity-nurturing power had struck him.

If not for his incredibly powerful bloodline and his Zhe Character Skill, he most likely would have died.

At this moment, Lin Hao’s face was ashen, and he was weakened to an extreme degree.

Across from him, Si Haoyang was also injured, but his wounds were far lighter than Lin Hao’s.

After fighting to this point, Lin Hao was still at a slight disadvantage.

Still, for Lin Hao to have lasted this long and forced Si Haoyang to use his ultimate trump card was a feat to be proud of.

At this moment, even the Zhe Character Skill was of no use. Lin Hao’s injuries were heavier than he had imagined.

But Si Haoyang, who stood opposite him, merely watched with flickering eyes, not daring to make a move.

"You’ve won. Make your move."

Lin Hao said, his voice terrifyingly calm.

But the calmer Lin Hao was, the more wary Si Haoyang became.

Lin Hao’s tactics throughout the battle had shocked Si Haoyang too many times. He didn’t dare to act rashly; if this was another of Lin Hao’s tricks, he would be damned for all eternity.

Little did he know, he had already fallen for the ploy.
