Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

Lin Wu’s body had been obliterated in the void by Lin Hao. With the final withering of the Cyan Lotus, any chance of a miraculous recovery was gone.

This time, Lin Wu was well and truly dead!

Upon the otherworldly battlefield, Lin Hao stood proud and tall. His body was wreathed in Endless Divine Chains, making him look like an ancient deity returned to the mortal realm.

The crowd of Martial Artists was left speechless.

The battle had finally concluded with Lin Hao’s victory.

In the beginning, no one had favored Lin Hao. After all, Lin Wu possessed the Harmony Dominator Body. He had slain countless cubs of ancient beasts in the Divinity Realm, forging an invincible path for himself. He stood like an unshakable monument at the very apex of the Soul Gathering Realm!

But Lin Hao? His bloodline had been stolen long ago, putting him at an Innate disadvantage.

Yet the battle had ended like this. How could the crowd of Martial Artists not be stunned?!

You could hear a pin drop. Everyone was frozen in a daze.

A moment later, the entire area exploded into an uproar.

News of what happened here spread at an astonishing speed.

Instantly, the entire Divinity Realm was shaken to its core.

"Lin Wu, the wielder of the Harmony Dominator Body, was actually defeated and killed! It’s horrifying!"

"Lin Wu was an invincible existence in the Divinity Realm, a living legend! For Lin Hao to have actually slain him... it’s simply heaven-defying!"

"I heard Lin Hao’s bloodline was restored, allowing him to attain the Harmony Dominator Body. His reborn constitution surpasses anything he had before. I fear Lin Hao’s rise is at hand."

"I heard that too. Could it be that his era is dawning?!"

"This old man has read the signs! Lin Hao is destined to suppress the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, contend with the greatest prodigies, and vie for the supreme throne! He will crush all enemies in his path! A peerless talent like him bought an Alchemy Secret Skill from yours truly! Everyone, hurry up and buy one!"

In one of the starting zones, a sleazy old man was shouting at the top of his lungs. He was promptly swarmed by the crowd.

The news didn’t just stay within the Divinity Realm; it spread to the physical world at an equally astonishing speed.

Countless continents erupted in an uproar.

Leaving aside the Holy Lands and the Esoteric Sects, the powers unable to even enter the Divinity Realm were utterly horrified.

The news was spreading like wildfire, but back on the otherworldly battlefield in the Divinity Realm where Lin Hao and Lin Wu had fought, things were far from peaceful.

Lin Hao stood proudly at the center of the field, encircled by Endless Divine Chains, his eyes icy cold.

His gaze swept across the crowd, and few dared to meet it.

Even before awakening his Harmony Dominator Body, he had been able to match Lin Wu and had even obliterated him once. Now, with his bloodline fully restored, having utterly crushed and killed Lin Wu, he was far more terrifying than before.

This was a truly invincible young man, a budding Emperor Venerable in the process of awakening.

At this moment, no one dared to challenge his might.

In the void above, the Realm Master made his move.

Without a word, he reached out toward the area where the white tiger was located.

The single grab was like a hand blotting out the sky, enveloping the entire region.

Many people screamed in terror!

The Realm Master was the true controller of this world; there was no escape for them.

BOOM!

The Realm Master was merciless. He seized at least a hundred people in his grasp and then simply crushed them, making them explode!

The area was instantly cleared, becoming an empty zone.

At the last possible second, the white tiger used a tuft of black fur to escape.

Now in human form and hiding in another part of the crowd, he felt his scalp tingle with fear.

The Realm Master glanced in his direction but ultimately chose not to act.

As for the move made by the servant beside the Divine Race youth, not even the Realm Master had noticed.

It was an ancient forbidden artifact, one that could be deployed in absolute secrecy. Aside from the target and the attacker, it was likely that no one else would ever know.

The might of an ancient forbidden artifact was terrifying beyond measure. Right now, Lin Hao was nothing more than an empty shell, strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Within his body, a bizarre power was devouring his lifeblood.

After the rebirth of his Harmony Dominator Body, Lin Hao’s constitution was incredibly powerful, yet this bizarre force had nearly drained him dry.

’Someone just used a forbidden technique to try and assassinate me!’

Lin Hao could sense which direction the attack had come from, but he dared not move, lest someone see through his bluff.

’If I’m hit by a forbidden technique like that again, I’ll die.’

As the Endless Divine Chains coiled around him, Lin Hao finally managed to suppress the bizarre power and began Refining it.

BOOM!

As the power vanished, divine radiance erupted from Lin Hao’s body. His Divine Power surged.

The area around Lin Hao became an ocean of light.

Countless people were shocked, their eyes immediately burning with desire.

It was an ocean of Divine Power, churning with boundless divine light. If they could enter it, they would surely receive unimaginable benefits.

At the very least, their bodies would undergo a purifying baptism.

Greed filled the eyes of many, but the thought of Lin Hao’s terrifying power kept them from moving.

"This might be an opportunity. He’s been severely injured and is healing now," a Martial Artist whispered.

"This is the perfect time to kill Lin Hao. We can’t let him mature." This message was passed via divine sense among members of the Myriad Races and the Ancient World who wanted him dead.

Lin Hao was simply too exceptional. If he were allowed to mature and one day ascend to the Divine Demon Destruction Domain, he would be a catastrophe for their clans’ own geniuses.

"He and Lin Wu are both from the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion, but no one from the Pavilion has shown up. Perhaps someone is watching from the shadows. Although the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion in the Divine Demon Destruction Domain may have declined, its foundation is deep. It should not be underestimated," someone else countered.

"I doubt it. The Heaven-Breaking Pavilion may have been founded by that Empress, but the Celestial Yang Continent is just a backwater. A while ago, the Pavilion Master from the Celestial Yang Continent was captured and brought to the upper realms. Even though he broke through to the Yin-Yang Realm, he still ended up being forced to work in the mines. Besides, the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion has been fading from public view lately. They’re clearly afraid of being ganged up on. They won’t dare to interfere."

"Then why don’t you make a move?"

"You..."

Even though these people were all major figures from the Divine Demon Destruction Domain, none of them were completely confident they could defeat Lin Hao, so they dared not act.

"It’s too late. Lin Hao’s injuries are about to fully recover. His healing speed is horrifying," a Martial Artist sighed.

In the short time they had been communicating, Lin Hao’s aura had steadily climbed until it reached a terrifying, heaven-shattering level.

Divine flames seethed around him as endless runes flickered, manifesting the principles of the Great Dao itself!

They had missed their best chance.

"Alas!"

Countless people sighed in regret.

Lin Hao’s rise was now unstoppable. Even the ancient, reclusive powerhouses—veritable living fossils—dared not make a move.

Lin Hao’s combat prowess was such that no one in the area dared to challenge his supremacy.

Just then, a five-colored divine light appeared in the heavens. Several specks of light shot toward the otherworldly battlefield at astonishing speed.

"What is that?!" someone cried out in alarm.

At the same time, Lin Hao looked up, his gaze piercing through the void.

After a single glance, the battle intent in Lin Hao’s eyes vanished.

The next moment, Lin Hao reached out, snatched the specks of light from the air, and quickly tucked them into his storage ring.

They were four sheepskin scrolls, and Lin Hao had recognized their extraordinary nature at a single glance.

Lin Hao moved so quickly that most people didn’t even have time to react.

In the distance, however, a strange glint appeared in the eyes of both the Divine Race youth and the Demon Race maiden.

"Legend has it that when the sheepskin scrolls are assembled, they reveal a heaven-shaking Secret Skill, possibly one created by the combined efforts of several Great Emperors. It is said to have the power to remake the world. He cannot be allowed to possess them," the Divine Race youth said.

The bizarre runes in his servant’s eyes stirred once more. The servant knew what he had to do.
