Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

BOOM!

At these words, the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor’s eyelid twitched, and the sky above exploded once more.

Endless blood-red energy was now surging from his body.

The assembled experts saw a vast ocean of blood in his eyes, where mountains were formed from piles of bloody bones.

PUFF!

One of the "living fossils" spat out a mouthful of blood.

He squeezed his eyes shut as horrifying streams of blood trickled from beneath his eyelids.

"He’s killed a Saint!" the living fossil shrieked in terror.

His voice trembled, and his body shuddered uncontrollably.

He had seen a skeleton of blood and bone. Though it had been dead for millennia, it remained incorruptible, still emanating a palpable pressure.

HUMPH!

It wasn’t just him; even Yun Boyang shuddered, letting out a pained grunt.

He took several steps back, a trickle of blood escaping the corner of his mouth.

"Uncle Yun..." Shui Youyou began, moving to support him.

For as long as she could remember, she had never seen Uncle Yun injured. Yet now, a mere glance from those eyes carried such devastating pressure.

For the first time, the color drained from Shui Youyou’s face.

Yun Boyang raised a hand, waving her off.

Then, his voice rang out, low and deep. "He’s killed a Quasi-Emperor!"

The mysterious Emperor’s Son had killed a Quasi-Emperor. The moment he said it, Shui Youyou and the others were horrified, feeling as though they had been struck by lightning.

"In the vision from his eyes, there are piles of bloody skeletons, several of which belong to Saints. But right in the middle lies the corpse of a Quasi-Emperor! At least ten thousand years have passed, yet its divine radiance remains undimmed." Yun Boyang’s expression was incredibly grave.

"This is the power of an Emperor’s Son? To be able to slaughter Saints and slay Quasi-Emperors ten thousand years ago!" Shui Youyou murmured, her resolve wavering.

Yun Boyang let out a sharp cry that exploded in Shui Youyou’s sea of consciousness, instantly snapping her back to her senses.

"That body belongs to the Emperor’s Son, but the one controlling it now may not be. It’s been possessed by an Evil Demon. If I’m not mistaken, the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor is reviving!" One had to admit, a man who had once been a Saint possessed vast knowledge; he had deduced the being’s true identity.

"I see. Uncle Yun, my resolve is shaken. When we return, I will go to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave to temper myself." Shui Youyou’s voice was steady once more.

At the mention of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, everyone but Yun Boyang paled. It was clearly a place of unparalleled danger.

Yun Boyang nodded and said no more.

Meanwhile, the ocean of blood reappeared in the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor’s eyes, his aura growing terrifyingly stronger by the second.

He hadn’t deployed such power even during his recent confrontation with the Realm Master.

Lin Hao’s words and expression filled him with a terrible premonition.

He stared at Lin Hao, and a scene began to replay in his mind’s eye.

It was the scene of Lin Hao’s final confrontation with the wisp of the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor’s remnant soul in the Demon Suppression Cave of the Heaven-Stepping Sect.

PUFF!

Upon seeing this, the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor felt as if he were struck by lightning, and he violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

He had lived for countless ages. He had even managed to preserve that wisp of his soul when facing Emperor Hongtian, yet now, Lin Hao had destroyed it!

Without that remnant soul, he was incomplete. Even possessing the body of an Emperor’s Son was now useless.

Lin Hao had severed his path to emperorship!!

"Today, you die! Kill! Kill! KILL!"

The Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor was utterly enraged. The ocean of blood in his eyes began to boil, churning into monstrous waves that completely annihilated the mountain of bloody bones!

No matter how composed he normally was, he could not bear having his path to emperorship severed!

The Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor’s aura became incomparably sharp, so much so that even the experts on the fringes of this outer region couldn’t withstand it. Some began to vomit blood.

"A Demon God is reawakening!" someone shrieked.

The firmament trembled. Planet after planet shattered, and the starry river of the cosmos began to collapse.

The Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor was going berserk. This entire outer region of space was beginning to buckle under the strain.

Just then, the Realm Master appeared. He became a boundless giant, his head touching the heavens and his feet on the ground. With a sweep of his hands, he stabilized the firmament.

Had the Realm Master appeared moments earlier, the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor would have abandoned Lin Hao to seize this new opportunity. But things were different now. He only had eyes for Lin Hao.

The Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor was terrifying beyond measure. The ocean of blood in his eyes boiled, and the Blood Sun in the sky grew ever more dreadful as it gathered power, ready to strike.

CLANG CLANG!

He attacked. Crimson Divine Chains materialized once again from the Blood Sun, clanging loudly. They were even thicker than the ones he had used against the Realm Master.

Runes flickered along the crimson Divine Chains. These runes were also blood-red, pulsing with a world-shaking divine might.

Some of the crimson Divine Chains locked down the void, while others transformed into Celestial Swords!

Unlike his attempt to capture the Realm Master, this time the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor’s intent was to annihilate Lin Hao.

Lin Hao had shattered his hopes. How could he possibly swallow this rage without killing him?

The Celestial Swords possessed a heaven-shattering might. Their Sword Qi sliced through the void, threatening to destroy the very world.

The Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor had used a powerful technique, sealing Lin Hao within the crimson Divine Chains. Now, as the Celestial Swords slashed down, they could sever not just a physical body, but likely even a top-tier Spiritual Artifact, which would then be turned to dust by the powerful shockwaves.

Yet, Lin Hao remained unharmed.

When the crimson Divine Chains formed a cage of heaven and earth, Lin Hao didn’t move.

It would have been pointless.

The Realm Master was the ruler of this realm; he could cross thousands of miles in an instant with a single thought, yet even he could not escape that cage of heaven and earth.

Therefore, Lin Hao chose to meet change with constancy, secretly gathering his power.

’It’s best to use the mysteries of the Six Paths of Reincarnation as little as possible.’

Now, facing these Celestial Swords, Lin Hao still did not draw upon the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

His eyes blazed as he directly unleashed his Origin Power.

The power of his Harmony Dominator Body was now fully awakened. Not only did Lin Hao’s eyes blaze, but his entire body began to glow with a brilliant light.

Hongmeng Purple Qi and Chaos True Essence materialized simultaneously, enveloping his body.

Lin Hao simultaneously unleashed two great imperial arts. The sky transformed into a river of stars, and the sun and moon merged to become a single, dazzling orb of light.

This orb of light was extraordinary, managing to block all the Celestial Swords from entry.

At that same moment, Lin Hao made his move.

He teleported directly in front of two of the crimson Divine Chains and threw a punch.

The crimson Divine Chains buckled under his ferocious power, and Lin Hao broke free from the cage of heaven and earth.

With a sharp cry, Lin Hao lunged at the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor.

His body, shrouded in endless divine light, took on the form of a primordial Divine King.

Everywhere Lin Hao passed, only endless divine light and billowing Chaos Qi remained, obscuring his true form from the Martial Artists watching from afar.

This strike from Lin Hao contained infinite variations, incorporating not only his own arts and his own Dao, but also the Dao and arts of Lin Wu.

For instance, it contained Lin Wu’s Harmony Dragon Performance Skill.

Now, with his body embodying yin and yang and combined with the Harmony Dragon Performance Skill, Lin Hao’s power was terrifying to the extreme.

A Purple Dragon appeared in the sky, seeming to have crossed time and space from the Ancient Times, soaring through the great void to arrive in the present.

This dragon was alive!

Lin Hao’s consciousness merged with the Purple Dragon, imbuing it with life.

CLANG!

Back inside the cage of heaven and earth, the orb of light had weakened considerably with Lin Hao’s departure.

The Celestial Swords now shattered the orb.

Streaking across the sky, the Celestial Swords once again slashed toward the Purple Dragon.

However, this Purple Dragon possessed a heaven-defying might. With a single whip of its tail, the Divine Dragon not only obliterated all the Celestial Swords but also shattered the crimson Divine Chains to pieces.
