Chapter 581 - 577: Shaking a Tier Four Spiritual Artifact with Bare Hands

Chapter 581: Chapter 577: Shaking a Tier Four Spiritual Artifact with Bare Hands

The True Self Divine Soul raised its hand, and a seal shot toward the sky.

The seal wasn’t large, but the moment it appeared, an immense pressure filled the space between heaven and earth.

This was a seal Lin Hao had comprehended from the Dao Sound.

At this moment, Lin Hao’s cultivation had reached the Peak of Eighth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm. Unleashed by his True Self Divine Soul, its power was simply unimaginable.

In the next moment, the True Self Divine Soul’s seal collided with Tuoba Yangyu’s Divine Soul.

This was a great duel of Divine Souls.

Tuoba Yangyu had deployed not only his Divine Soul but also the full might of his Imperial Body Bloodline.

However, the result of their collision was shocking.

The seal manifested by the True Self Divine Soul directly breached Tuoba Yangyu’s Divine Soul.

PTH!

Tuoba Yangyu’s Divine Soul was struck, leaving the imprint of a hand seal. It appeared to have no effect, yet Tuoba Yangyu spat out a mouthful of blood.

This was because his essence, qi, and spirit were one; now that the True Self Divine Soul had broken through, his body suffered a devastating blow.

Seeing Tuoba Yangyu spit blood, the distant crowd of onlookers all shook their heads.

They all knew it was over for Tuoba Yangyu.

Meanwhile, having landed a successful blow, the True Self Divine Soul was once again bathed in starlight that poured down from above, making it appear even more terrifying.

It raised its hand, and another seal shot out.

But the seal immediately lost its target, as Tuoba Yangyu had suddenly withdrawn all his power.

In the next moment, Tuoba Yangyu’s expression turned savage. His blood-red eyes looked as if a primeval beast had just been born.

"Lin Hao, I’ll kill you!" With a furious roar, Tuoba Yangyu attacked again.

This time, a weapon had suddenly appeared in his hand.

"What?!"

"A Tier Four Spiritual Artifact!"

The moment this weapon appeared, even the elders couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

A Martial Artist at the Ninth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm wielding a Tier Four Spiritual Artifact could destroy an entire nation!

Never mind other Soul Gathering Realm Martial Artists; even those in the Spirit Transformation Realm would have to face such an attack with extreme caution.

And now, facing Lin Hao, Tuoba Yangyu had actually resorted to using a Tier Four Spiritual Artifact.

He was dead set on killing Lin Hao.

The elders wanted to intervene, but the suppressive power of the Holy Hall manifested, immobilizing them completely.

Even though they were all Martial Artists at the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak, they were no more than ants beneath the Great Emperor’s divine will. They could only watch helplessly as Tuoba Yangyu made his move.

As for Lin Hao, the moment Tuoba Yangyu produced the Tier Four Spiritual Artifact, his eyes snapped open and he shot to his feet.

Lin Hao was extremely familiar with the aura of a Tier Four Spiritual Artifact and naturally understood its might.

A Martial Artist at the Ninth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm wielding a Tier Four Spiritual Artifact was a nearly unstoppable combination.

In the past, Lin Hao wouldn’t have thought twice about fleeing as fast as he could.

But this time was different. Having gained a profound insight from the Dao Sound, Lin Hao’s will was at an absolute peak.

Moreover, with the power of the stars now converging upon him, Lin Hao believed he had a fighting chance if he used his Emperor Skill.

Then, Lin Hao moved.

To the astonishment of the crowd, Lin Hao did not retreat. Instead, he advanced, taking a single step into the void.

As Lin Hao took that step, his True Self Divine Soul returned to his body. The sun and moon materialized behind him, and the power of the stars completely shrouded him.

Not only that, but a rumbling began within Lin Hao. The Tai Chi Array Map in his Dantian spun frantically, and the drop of Lifebound True Blood at its center began to emit strange fluctuations.

And with that single step, Lin Hao’s body suddenly swelled in size.

This was an unorthodox application of his Avatar skill.

The Avatar skill could not only create a Primordial Body but could also be used to strengthen his own.

As Lin Hao unleashed all his skills at once, his might shook the very heavens.

Lin Hao’s body swelled to five meters tall, his feet now planted firmly on the ground.

Shrouded in the power of the stars, Lin Hao looked like a celestial god who had descended to the mortal world!

His spreading pressure was utterly terrifying.

Then, Lin Hao struck, moving to intercept the Spiritual Artifact swung by Tuoba Yangyu.

This scene left everyone completely stunned!

Lin Hao, merely at the Peak of Eighth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm, was actually going to clash with a Tier Four Spiritual Artifact bare-handed!

No, Lin Hao was no longer just at the Eighth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm. When he unleashed all his skills—the Godslaying Celestial Slash Skill, the Avatar Secret Skill, and the Divine Illumination Scripture—his True Self Divine Soul and Lifebound True Blood were also activated.

In that instant, Lin Hao’s cultivation shattered the bottleneck of the Eighth Layer and reached the Ninth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm!

However, the scene was so shocking that everyone completely overlooked the fact that Lin Hao’s cultivation had just advanced.

This wasn’t the Blood Coagulation Realm. For Lin Hao to advance two levels in a single day was an unprecedented feat, one that would likely never be repeated!

If the scene hadn’t been so terrifying, it was hard to say how the onlookers might have reacted.

Under the watchful gaze of the entire crowd, Lin Hao’s hand collided with the Spiritual Artifact unleashed by Tuoba Yangyu.

Heaven and earth tore asunder!

A true, world-shattering cataclysm!

The full moon formed by the stars in the sky was shattered, breaking apart into countless fragments.

In the area behind where Lin Hao had been, everything in sight had been utterly annihilated.

The power of a Martial Artist at the Ninth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm wielding a Tier Four Spiritual Artifact was boundless in its terror.

"HAHAHA..." After what seemed like an eternity, raucous laughter echoed through the heavens.

It was Tuoba Yangyu, laughing maniacally.

Before him, the earth had been blasted into a crater of unknown depth, a complete wasteland as far as the eye could see.

Lin Hao was nowhere to be seen.

As Tuoba Yangyu laughed maniacally, some people sighed in relief, while others looked frantic.

Those who were relieved naturally assumed Lin Hao had perished. Duanmu Ci, for instance, was thrilled.

The frantic ones, unable to sense Lin Hao’s aura, were using their Divine Sense to search for him—people like Liu Bo and Guan Zhengyang.

Suddenly, Guan Zhengyang’s eyes snapped open, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

A moment later, Liu Bo did the same, unable to stop himself from cursing with a laugh, "That kid... he still isn’t dead after all that. There’s no fucking justice in this world!"

Hearing this, the other elders also began to search with their Divine Sense.

Before long, the elders’ eyes widened, and they all stared in the same direction.

Toward the depths of the earth.

From deep underground, they sensed a faint heartbeat.

On the Starry Sky Ancient Road, Lin Hao had reformed his body even after it was shattered to pieces. Now that he still had a heartbeat, he obviously wasn’t dead.

With Lin Hao’s terrifying recovery speed, it wouldn’t take long for him to be back on his feet, hale and hearty.

This time, however, they were wrong.

In a fissure deep within the earth, Lin Hao’s body was little more than a pile of mangled flesh.

His body had shrunk back to its normal size, but there wasn’t a single uninjured spot on him.

If not for the faint rise and fall of his chest, he would have been mistaken for a corpse.

In truth, not only was his heart still beating, but his mind was still active.

In fact, Lin Hao was more lucid at this moment than he had ever been before.

He could even hear Tuoba Yangyu’s maniacal laughter from above.

He wanted to use his Emperor Skill to heal his body quickly, but he stopped himself.

’If Tuoba Yangyu discovers me in this state, I’m a dead man.’

Therefore, Lin Hao chose to wait.

He was confident Tuoba Yangyu wouldn’t come down to confirm the kill. After all, not even a Martial Artist at the First Layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm could possibly survive an attack from a Ninth Layer Soul Gathering Realm expert wielding a Tier Four Spiritual Artifact.

But he was wrong.
