Chapter 579: Chapter 575: Breakthrough! Another Breakthrough?

Suddenly, Tuoba Yangyu felt a suppressive pressure.

It was an extremely bizarre pressure.

It seemed to come from the heavens, yet at the same time, it felt as if it had never been there at all.

It was traceless and unfathomable.

A bad feeling rose in Tuoba Yangyu’s heart.

He made a snap decision and directly unleashed the power of his Divine Soul.

A green plant shot out from Tuoba Yangyu’s body.

The green plant swayed in the wind, then began to grow wildly.

In just a moment, it stood out alone, seemingly rooted between heaven and earth.

At that moment, the plant revealed its true form—it was, surprisingly, just a single blade of green grass.

But then, this blade of grass displayed a terrifying power.

It bent suddenly, shooting directly toward Lin Hao’s body.

The next moment, it pierced straight through Lin Hao’s body!

This was far too terrifying.

One had to remember, Lin Hao’s body was protected by the Tai Chi Array Map.

The Tai Chi Array Map was evolved from an imperial art and possessed an unimaginable defensive power.

But even so, the blade of grass still pierced it with ease, a testament to its horrifying might.

Furthermore, Lin Hao’s physical body was extremely tough, unbreakable even by a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact, yet it was pierced by this blade of grass without any resistance.

Tuoba Yangyu’s Divine Soul, while seemingly inconspicuous, was terrifyingly powerful.

When Lin Hao’s body was pierced, Tuoba Yangyu immediately felt that strange sensation disappear.

He was about to press his advantage and kill Lin Hao, but to his horror, he discovered that his Divine Soul, which had pierced Lin Hao, could not be withdrawn.

It was as if the Divine Soul had taken root inside Lin Hao’s body.

A hint of fear appeared in Tuoba Yangyu.

This was his Divine Soul. If anything happened to it, his path of martial arts would come to an end.

Without a second thought, Tuoba Yangyu directly used his Lifebound True Blood.

Empowered by the Lifebound True Blood, the Divine Soul that Tuoba Yangyu had deployed was finally able to escape.

The blade of grass pulled out of Lin Hao’s body, bringing with it a spray of blood.

But the moment the blood sprayed out, it was drawn back, returning along its original path and into Lin Hao’s body.

Then, something miraculous happened.

The wound where the Divine Soul had pierced Lin Hao’s torso instantly healed.

No one noticed this scene.

Having retrieved his Divine Soul, Tuoba Yangyu broke out in a cold sweat, no longer daring to use it recklessly.

While he hesitated, Lin Hao’s body was undergoing a tremendous transformation.

Just a moment ago, Lin Hao had been on the verge of success, but Tuoba Yangyu’s Divine Soul pierced his body, causing him to fall short at the last moment.

However, at this moment, every part, every cell of Lin Hao’s body was rotating at an unimaginably high speed.

The moment the Divine Soul entered his body, it began to show signs of being assimilated.

This was why Tuoba Yangyu couldn’t withdraw his Divine Soul. It was becoming a part of Lin Hao’s body, serving to provide nourishment for Lin Hao’s physical form, and more importantly, for his True Self Divine Soul.

The amount of energy the True Self Divine Soul required at this moment was staggeringly vast.

If Tuoba Yangyu hadn’t acted decisively, he might have become the first person in all of history...

...the first Ninth Layer Soul Gathering Realm expert to have his Divine Soul absorbed by a Seventh Layer Soul Gathering Realm Martial Artist.

Although Tuoba Yangyu managed to withdraw his Divine Soul at the last second, it didn’t affect the operation of Lin Hao’s body.

The moment it was withdrawn, the cells in Lin Hao’s body immediately regenerated, restoring everything to its original state.

Not only that, but the restored body began to operate even faster.

The next moment, even the Lifebound True Blood in Lin Hao’s Dantian was absorbed, as strand after strand of energy surged into the body of the True Self Divine Soul.

At the same time, the Dantian of the True Self Divine Soul began to glow.

"Lin!"

Suddenly, a single word echoed in Lin Hao’s mind.

The True Self Divine Soul opened its mouth and shouted that word.

BOOM!

When this word was shouted from the mouth of the True Self Divine Soul, something earth-shattering happened.

First, all the stars in the heavens suddenly converged into a single entity, seemingly becoming an enormous full moon that appeared directly above Lin Hao’s head.

The power of the stars transformed into a pillar of energy that poured down...

Then, the True Self Divine Soul, which had been inside Lin Hao, leaped out and appeared above his head.

The next moment, the True Self Divine Soul looked up at the heavens, opened its mouth, and inhaled!

The entire massive pillar of energy was devoured by the True Self Divine Soul!

The True Self Divine Soul’s body rumbled, emitting strange musical notes.

At this moment, it seemed as if the Great Dao itself was resonating.

While the True Self Divine Soul devoured the power of the stars, seemingly disconnected from Lin Hao’s main body, a thin thread connected the two.

After the stellar power entered the True Self Divine Soul’s body, it was converted into energy that then entered Lin Hao through his Baihui acupoint.

The energy that flowed into Lin Hao’s body was pure and terrifying to an unimaginable degree.

Nourished by this energy, Lin Hao’s muscles, bones, and skin all began to mutate.

At the same time, even Lin Hao’s Lifebound True Blood was changing color.

The originally green Lifebound True Blood was actually starting to turn cyan.

Meanwhile, within the Lifebound True Blood, a thread of purple blood was writhing.

That was the bloodline of the Harmony Dominator Body, reviving and awakening.

At this moment, Lin Hao’s body also began to rumble, overlapping with the resonance of the True Self Divine Soul, making the resonance of the Great Dao even more distinct.

In Lin Hao’s mind, the word "Lin" solidified from its illusory state, dancing to the rhythm of his body’s rumbling.

It was also at this moment that Lin Hao heard a soft sound from within his body.

His body had broken its shackles and entered the Eighth Layer of the Soul Gathering Realm!

After entering the Eighth Layer of the Soul Gathering Realm, the sound of the resonance between Lin Hao’s body and his True Self Divine Soul grew even louder.

The two seemed unsatisfied with their current state, wanting to break through the shackles once more!

In his mind, the word "Lin" became suffused with an inscrutable, divine might, seemingly echoing in response to his body.

Lin Hao’s essence, spirit, and soul merged as one. Deeply immersed in this state, he saw what was happening and frantically circulated the Divine Illumination Scripture.

In the heavens, more stars appeared in the distance.

As each star appeared, it was drawn in by the stellar moon above Lin Hao’s head.

That stellar moon was like a giant magnet, pulling in star after star and growing stronger.

This scene left the elders and disciples of the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion completely dumbfounded.

This seemed utterly beyond the capabilities of a mortal.

Lin Hao was cultivating in defiance of the heavens.

The cyan gas manifested by Tuoba Yangyu, who was facing Lin Hao, had long since been blasted apart. He wanted to attack Lin Hao again, even if it meant using his Divine Soul once more.

But it was all useless.

At this point, he couldn’t even get close to Lin Hao.

"Brother Duanmu, lend me a hand!" Tuoba Yangyu sent a mental transmission to Duanmu Ci in the distance.

Duanmu Ci did not respond.

"Lin Hao broke through from the Seventh to the Eighth Layer and still hasn’t stopped! At this rate, I’m afraid he’ll break through to the Ninth Layer. If he reaches the Ninth Layer, neither of us will survive!" Tuoba Yangyu continued to persuade, his voice filled with anxiety.

’Before, I prided myself on being a genius, but now, seeing Lin Hao, I finally know what a true genius is.’

’He broke through from the Seventh Layer of the Soul Gathering Realm to the Eighth Layer, and not long after, he’s already at the Late Layer of the Eighth Layer and shows no signs of stopping. This Lin Hao is a monster!’

’This is the Soul Gathering Realm, not the Blood Coagulation Realm!’

’A breakthrough speed like this... you probably couldn’t find a second person like him in all of history!’
