Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

Guo Weilong roared, and the sound formed a terrifying shockwave in the air.

At the same time, the sounds of dragon roars and tiger howls erupted from his body, and a mass of cyan gas in his Dantian began to glow.

Under the intense threat of death, he used every last trick he had.

Finally, the imprisoning force disappeared from Guo Weilong's body.

Without a second thought, he tried to blast backward in retreat.

But it was all in vain.

Although the True Self Divine Soul had only released a sliver of its pressure, and though Guo Weilong had broken free from his restraints, the speed of the True Self Divine Soul was just too immense.

The next moment, Guo Weilong's head flew from his shoulders.

Just then, something completely unexpected happened.

The head, flying high into the air, seemed to still possess life. It shot upward at extreme speed, heading for the ceiling of the Nine Yang Hall.

Clearly, Guo Weilong's Divine Soul was powerful and had not been extinguished. It was trying to escape.

This was one of the Divine Techniques available to Martial Artists of the Spirit Transformation Realm; the three men Lin Hao had just killed simply never had a chance to use it.

As long as the Divine Soul remained intact, a Martial Artist could be reborn.

The head was fast, but how could it possibly outrun Lin Hao?

Lin Hao didn't move. He simply watched.

Then, the head exploded in midair.

Guo Weilong was obliterated, body and soul.

Expressionless, Lin Hao flicked his sleeve at the headless corpse, and it vanished through another doorway.

Lin Hao had now killed four Martial Artists from the upper realm in a row, including one who had just reached the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Such a feat was unparalleled among his generation.

Baili Dengfeng's breathing grew ragged as he shot a glance toward Huangfu Yao.

Huangfu Yao was incredibly powerful; he desperately wanted her to make a move.

However, Huangfu Yao gave no reaction.

No one knew what was going through Huangfu Yao's mind.

The vast Nine Yang Hall was utterly silent. Lin Hao stood in the middle of the hall, and none of the Martial Artists from the upper realm dared to meet his gaze.

Just then, Huangfu Yao spoke. "You have surpassed your peers and carry the aura of one who is invincible at their level. But no matter your reasons, it's time to stop."

Lin Hao didn't answer, but his mind was racing.

'Huangfu Yao has probably recognized me, but for some reason, she hasn't revealed my identity. Her words now carry a hint of warning.'

"I am from an ancient family in the Divine Demon Destruction Domain. Your combat prowess is extraordinary, and the doors of the Huangfu family are open to you."

After saying this, Huangfu Yao changed her tone, directly extending an olive branch to Lin Hao.

'The Divine Demon Destruction Domain is vast, and I don't know how many Martial Artists have descended this time. Not only that, but people from both the Divine Race and the Demon Race have come down, yet they remain hidden. This is a threat to me.'

After confirming Lin Hao's identity, she had indeed considered killing him. But after witnessing his combat prowess, she changed her mind.

"We are not enemies!" Seeing that Lin Hao still wasn't responding, Huangfu Yao spoke again, making her stance clear.

Only then did Lin Hao finally speak.

"I am only at the Third Layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm. I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."

Lin Hao instantly saw through Huangfu Yao's intentions.

'The Martial Artists here are indeed much stronger than their counterparts in the lower realm, but they would be considered completely ordinary in the Divine Demon Destruction Domain.'

'Obviously, the upper realm wouldn't have sent only Martial Artists of this caliber down here.'

'Besides, I already learned from Lin Yuchen that members of the Divine Race and Demon Race have come down as well.'

'The real powerhouses have yet to show themselves.'

'Huangfu Yao's friendly gesture is just a veiled attempt to use me.'

"Don't doubt my sincerity. I can stand guard for you, allowing you to cultivate here in the Nine Yang Hall. I believe that with your talent, raising your cultivation level here will be a simple matter."

Huangfu Yao seemed to have read his mind as she spoke.

A flicker of surprise appeared in Lin Hao's eyes.

"The Nine Yang Void Realm is a special place, and the Nine Yang Hall has the ability to connect to the Divinity Realm. If you can make good use of it, you will reap great rewards." Huangfu Yao said, and without waiting for a reply, she spoke three words: "Everyone, get out."

The three words were spoken softly, yet they carried an undeniable pressure.

As Huangfu Yao spoke, ripples appeared in the air.

All the Martial Artists were pulled by an immense force toward the nine doorways.

This went without saying for the upper realm Martial Artists, but even the faces of the lower realm Martial Artists were filled with horror—Leng Chenfeng was no exception.

He possessed a Divine Body, a one-in-a-billion existence, second only to the Harmony Dominator Body. Yet this Huangfu Yao had done nothing but speak three words, and she had created a terrifying domain of martial power.

Under the power of this domain, he felt as if he were facing a boundless ocean, completely unable to resist. The feeling horrified him.

Lin Hao's pupils also contracted sharply.

'Huangfu Yao's cultivation is even more terrifying than I imagined.'

'This is the application of a martial domain. Within it, I can even sense a sliver of the power of martial principles.'

'This sliver of power is incredibly faint, almost nonexistent, yet it cannot escape my terrifying Spiritual Sense.'

'Clearly, Huangfu Yao has had some great fortune, allowing her to glimpse the principles of martial arts ahead of her time.'

All the Martial Artists were sent out of the Nine Yang Hall by that powerful force, leaving only her and Lin Hao in the vast chamber.

Now, she spoke directly. "Lin Hao, you're very bold. You've truly impressed me."

"What do you want? Just say it," Lin Hao said, not wanting to beat around the bush.

"Your Spiritual Sense is so terrifying it even shocks me. How would you feel if I told you that in the upper realm, there are many prodigies far superior to me?" Huangfu Yao's words were a bit puzzling.

But Lin Hao understood her meaning.

A look of shock flashed through his eyes before vanishing.

'Clearly, Huangfu Yao knows that I detected that faint trace of martial principles within her domain just now.'

'This woman's Spiritual Sense is just as terrifying.'

'And she's telling me that in the Divine Demon Destruction Domain, she herself is nothing special.'

This was something Lin Hao had long suspected.

After all, he had witnessed the battle between Di Xieqing and Shui Youyou in the Divinity Realm.

Those two were undoubtedly the top prodigies of the Divinity Realm.

And besides them, among the ancient families, supreme sects, and the myriad races of the Divine Demon Destruction Domain, there were surely countless other prodigies.

More importantly, it was likely that long-sealed Imperial Scions were about to emerge in the Divine Demon Destruction Domain.

Among these long-sealed Imperial Scions, there might even be some who surpassed the Overlord Body.

It was safe to say that the Divine Demon Destruction Domain was the most dangerous battlefield in the world right now.

"Reading your fortune, I can see that although you once bore the signs of one fated for an early death, you have already been reborn from the ashes. I have a premonition that you are destined to rise. Therefore, the Huangfu family will not make an enemy of you."

Huangfu Yao's voice rang out again, tinged with a measure of sincerity.

Lin Hao remained silent.

"It seems you still don't trust me. To show my sincerity, I will help you accomplish whatever it is you came to the Nine Yang Hall to do," Huangfu Yao said, her beautiful eyes beneath her light veil fixed on Lin Hao's.

Lin Hao smiled. "What I came here to do? I have no idea what you're talking about."

Huangfu Yao let out a light laugh, one filled with boundless confidence.

Then, she began to speak, her tone confident and clear.
