Chapter 582 - 578: Revival of Imperial Might

Chapter 582: Chapter 578: Revival of Imperial Might

In the void, Tuoba Yangyu’s crazed laughter continued for dozens of breaths before finally stopping.

After glancing at the terrifying scene he had created, he put away the Spiritual Artifact, took a single step, and left the area.

As for Lin Hao, it never even crossed his mind to search for any trace of him.

The power of a Tier Four Spiritual Artifact was boundless. Lin Hao could not possibly have survived.

Tuoba Yangyu was utterly confident of this.

With a single stride, Tuoba Yangyu reached the vicinity of the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion in the blink of an eye, but his body suddenly froze in place.

He had received a voice transmission from Duanmu Ci.

Duanmu Ci said Lin Hao was too uncanny and that it would be best for him to go back and confirm the kill.

Tuoba Yangyu’s expression shifted rapidly. Finally, he turned and returned to the void.

After scanning the area, Tuoba Yangyu descended toward a certain spot.

"This is bad!" Liu Bo’s face fell.

Lin Hao had taken a direct hit from Tuoba Yangyu’s Tier Four Spiritual Artifact. If Tuoba Yangyu found him now, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Fourth Brother, quickly, make Tuoba Yangyu come back!" The situation was critical, and Liu Bo spoke urgently to Wan Boyan without even turning his head.

Wan Boyan now understood the stakes and immediately nodded in agreement.

However, Guan Zhengyang stopped him.

Although Lin Hao’s cultivation wasn’t high, he could comprehend the Dao Sound, and his body possessed many other miraculous qualities. This had made a deep impression on Guan Zhengyang.

Therefore, he had been watching Lin Hao’s every move, hoping to find inspiration from him in his own pursuit of a higher level of the martial path.

A Spirit Transformation Realm Peak Martial Artist who had lived for over a thousand years was seeking the true meaning of the martial path from a mere Soul Gathering Realm Martial Artist. It sounded like an absurd fairy tale, but it was the truth.

Lin Hao was grievously injured but not killed by the Tier Four Spiritual Artifact. This reminded Guan Zhengyang of the time Lin Hao’s physical body had completely reformed. He wanted to observe the circulation of True Essence within Lin Hao’s body, so he focused his entire Divine Soul on him.

Just as Tuoba Yangyu descended, Guan Zhengyang suddenly discovered that Lin Hao’s aura had vanished completely.

No doubt, Lin Hao had sensed Tuoba Yangyu’s return and reacted accordingly.

This filled Guan Zhengyang with boundless anticipation. He wanted to see how Lin Hao would handle the situation, which was why he had stopped Wan Boyan.

Not only did he stop Wan Boyan, but he also solemnly shared his thoughts with the other elders.

The other elders were visibly shaken. They immediately released their Divine Souls, sending them all toward Lin Hao’s location.

At this moment, Tuoba Yangyu landed in front of Lin Hao.

Looking at Lin Hao, who was little more than a pile of mangled flesh, a gleeful smile spread across Tuoba Yangyu’s face.

In his eyes, the Lin Hao before him was already a corpse.

Just as he was about to leave, Duanmu Ci’s voice transmission echoed in his ear once more.

"Duanmu Ci, I never thought you’d be more ruthless than me. You won’t even let a corpse rest in peace." Tuoba Yangyu muttered, staring at Lin Hao’s "body."

But despite his words, Tuoba Yangyu took action.

He lifted a foot, poised to stomp down on Lin Hao’s body.

"It’s not worth getting my shoes dirty," Tuoba Yangyu said, his body shooting up from the ground.

The next moment, while still in mid-air, he clapped his palms together. ℯℯ𝘭.

The rock walls on either side of Lin Hao instantly collapsed, burying his body underneath.

"Lin Hao, consider it your good fortune to be buried just outside the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion." After a final glance at his handiwork, Tuoba Yangyu left the area.

He had buried Lin Hao’s body several hundred meters underground.

And so, the battle came to a close.

Tuoba Yangyu entered the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion and immediately went into seclusion.

In the recent battle, he had drawn upon his Lifebound True Blood and Divine Soul. Both were now damaged, and he would need a great deal of time to recover.

The other disciples of the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion’s upper courtyard dispersed, but the group of elders before the Holy Hall remained, their hearts in their throats, their Divine Souls still focused on Lin Hao.

Buried hundreds of meters underground, Lin Hao showed no sign of life. It seemed he had truly perished, destined for an eternal slumber beneath the earth.

After dozens of breaths, a look of joy appeared on Guan Zhengyang’s face, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

He had once again sensed the beating of Lin Hao’s heart, however faint it was.

Just a moment later, that faint aura began to grow stronger.

Lin Hao’s life force was astonishingly tenacious.

Guan Zhengyang focused his Divine Soul even more intently, watching the area closely.

A moment later, he sensed the world’s primal energy converging on that spot.

’It’s starting!’

After this thought, Guan Zhengyang focused his entire being, his expression more solemn than ever before.

Lin Hao’s current state was tantamount to another physical reconstruction, and Guan Zhengyang might be able to gain some inspiration from observing it.

The world’s primal energy surged and then poured into the ground.

At first, the effect was subtle, but before long, the area where Lin Hao lay was shrouded in a misty vapor.

To Guan Zhengyang’s shock, he discovered that even the dead, dry grass in that area was bursting back to life!

For the gathered primal energy to be potent enough to resurrect dead grass—one could only imagine its density and purity.

Immediately, Guan Zhengyang immersed himself in his senses, probing directly into the earth with his Divine Soul.

He had to see what changes were occurring in Lin Hao’s body.

As his Divine Soul probed deeper, Guan Zhengyang made a horrifying discovery. After sinking into the earth, the primal energy had split into innumerable streams.

These countless streams of energy, large and small, were intricate and complex, yet moved with perfect order.

It was as if the ground itself had countless blood vessels!

Probing deeper, Guan Zhengyang discovered that these invisible "vessels" were connected directly to Lin Hao’s body, funneling stream after stream of primal energy into him.

Although the surface of Lin Hao’s body was still stained crimson, there were no longer any visible wounds.

Moreover, a layer of shimmering light now flowed across his skin.

An idea struck Guan Zhengyang. He decided to probe inside Lin Hao’s body with his Divine Soul.

It was the only way to uncover Lin Hao’s secrets.

Guan Zhengyang’s Divine Soul entered through Lin Hao’s heart, and at first, the process was smooth.

But when he tried to guide his Divine Soul into Lin Hao’s Dantian, he found his way blocked.

A powerful force was preventing his Divine Soul from entering.

The force was so boundless and vast that it nearly engulfed his Divine Soul.

Guan Zhengyang was stunned.

But he was a Spirit Transformation Realm Peak Martial Artist who had cultivated for over a thousand years. He immediately stabilized his Divine Soul and continued to push forward.

It was still no use.

Guan Zhengyang had no choice but to strengthen his probe.

Then, something terrifying happened.

The vast power within Lin Hao’s Dantian suddenly turned terrifyingly hostile.

Before this power, Guan Zhengyang’s Divine Soul was completely helpless.

Making a split-second decision, Guan Zhengyang withdrew his Divine Soul as fast as he possibly could.

Back before the Holy Hall, Guan Zhengyang’s eyes flew open, his forehead beaded with sweat.

The power that had just surged from Lin Hao’s Dantian gave him the chilling impression that a Great Emperor was reawakening!

He had actually felt the might of a Great Emperor coming from Lin Hao’s Dantian!

The majesty of a Great Emperor is not to be challenged.

Guan Zhengyang had no doubt that if his Divine Soul had been a split second slower in retreating, it would have been utterly shattered!

’Is this even the body of a Soul Gathering Realm Martial Artist?!’

Guan Zhengyang felt a mix of bitterness and excitement.
