Chapter 586: Chapter 582: Soul-Seizing Cyan Jade Butterfly

"No! Lin Hao, you can’t kill me! If you kill me, my grandfather will definitely..." Tuoba Yangyu shrieked in terror.

But before he could finish, his body burst apart.

Tuoba Yangyu, a disciple of the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion’s upper school, was dead.

The moment Tuoba Yangyu fell, tens of thousands of miles from the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion, an old man with white hair and a white beard, deep within a mountain, suddenly rose to his feet. His robes began to flutter, though there was no wind.

BOOM!

The entire mountain then exploded, turning to dust.

For a thousand miles in every direction, with him at the center, all living creatures cowered on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

"You killed my Yang Yu! I will annihilate your entire lineage!" A moment later, a furious roar erupted from the old man, shaking the very earth for thousands of miles!

Tuoba Yangyu was dead, and the Aurora Ascendant was furious.

Leaving aside the Aurora Ascendant’s plans, back at the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion, the sight of Lin Hao killing Tuoba Yangyu made the other disciples shudder.

Tuoba Yangyu had been the future master of the Aurora Secret Sect, yet Lin Hao had killed him without a second thought.

’Does he really intend to fight the entire Aurora Secret Sect all by himself?!’

The very thought was terrifying.

This shocked some of the disciples who had previously been dismissive.

They all had unfathomable backgrounds, hailing from either Secret Sects or Holy Lands.

Given their backgrounds, they had originally assumed Lin Hao would never dare to act so recklessly.

But now, it was clear that Lin Hao could not be judged by common sense.

After the initial shock, most of the disciples couldn’t help but feel relieved, because they had no conflict with Lin Hao.

It was one thing for the other disciples, who had no conflict with Lin Hao. But Duanmu Ci was a different story. Seeing Tuoba Yangyu’s fate, his heart seized with fear.

Just as he was about to slip away, Duanmu Ci froze.

Lin Hao, standing proudly in the void, had called him out.

"Duanmu Ci, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. Let’s play," Lin Hao said, staring at Duanmu Ci with a taunting look in his eyes.

Duanmu Ci had just been out for his life, so of course Lin Hao wasn’t going to let him go.

"This kid..." In front of the Holy Hall, Liu Bo couldn’t help but mutter, hearing Lin Hao challenge Duanmu Ci right after killing Tuoba Yangyu.

By killing Tuoba Yangyu, he had guaranteed the Aurora Secret Sect would never let the matter rest; they would surely come looking for trouble soon enough.

But Lin Hao, as if one Aurora Secret Sect wasn’t enough, had to go and provoke Duanmu Ci.

Duanmu Ci was from the Celestial Martial Holy Land, an ancient Holy Land with an even deeper heritage than the Aurora Secret Sect.

It wasn’t just Liu Bo; a strange glint flashed in the eyes of the other Grand Elders before vanishing.

Lin Hao was too arrogant.

Meanwhile, after freezing up, Duanmu Ci’s eyes narrowed. "Lin Hao, are you sure you want to provoke me?!"

Lin Hao shrugged and spoke plainly. "And why is that? Is your background so impressive that you can’t be provoked?"

"The Celestial Martial Holy Land was founded by a Saint five thousand years ago, and I am its Saint Heir." Duanmu Ci’s eyes blazed as he stood proudly, taking a single step out of the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion to confront Lin Hao.

Then, he continued, "And let me tell you a secret: the Celestial Martial Saint is still alive."

After saying this, Duanmu Ci stared intently at Lin Hao’s face, hoping to see a look of shock.

But Duanmu Ci was disappointed.

"Are you scared?" The mocking expression on Lin Hao’s face deepened.

Duanmu Ci was about to speak again, but Lin Hao’s expression abruptly changed. "So what if a Saint is still alive? Even if he were standing right here before me now, I would still make those who wronged me pay the price."

As Lin Hao spoke these words, an immense pressure filled the heavens and the earth.

This was the burgeoning of an invincible will!

This will was so strong that it forced Duanmu Ci to take an involuntary step back.

The Celestial Martial Saint was indeed alive, but he had long since departed for the Divine Demon Destruction Domain. Duanmu Ci had merely been trying to use his name to make Lin Hao back down.

But he had never expected that not only would Lin Hao refuse to back down, but his aura would become even more powerful. He showed no regard for a Saint whatsoever.

Lin Hao’s audacity was beyond imagination.

Before the Holy Hall, the assembled elders looked at each other, utterly speechless.

At that moment, Lin Hao was like an unsheathed Divine Soldier, his sharp edge on full display.

"I am not his equal," Fifth Elder Liu Bo admitted.

The other elders said nothing, but their expressions clearly agreed.

In the void, Lin Hao pressed forward relentlessly, forcing Duanmu Ci to respond.

"If it’s a fight you want, then I’ll see it through to the end!" Duanmu Ci’s eyes blazed with light.

At this moment, words were useless.

Only a battle would suffice!

"It’s about time," Lin Hao said, putting the Aurora Ruler into his storage ring.

Seeing Lin Hao’s action, Duanmu Ci breathed a sigh of relief.

The only reason he had run his mouth was his fear of the Aurora Ruler in Lin Hao’s hand.

Although he was the Saint Heir of the Celestial Martial Holy Land, he hadn’t been given a Tier Four Spiritual Artifact when he set out.

This was because the Celestial Martial Holy Land placed greater emphasis on a Martial Artist’s personal cultivation, not wanting them to become overly reliant on external power.

Now that Lin Hao had decided against using the Aurora Ruler, Duanmu Ci no longer had any lingering fears.

The very instant Lin Hao put the Aurora Ruler into his storage ring, Duanmu Ci struck.

Not only was his timing impeccable, but his speed was also pushed to the absolute limit.

With Lin Hao’s cultivation having soared to the Ninth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm, Duanmu Ci didn’t dare be the slightest bit careless, unleashing his bloodline power from the very start.

Cyan energy burst forth, and a massive energy shield materialized in the void, trapping Lin Hao’s body inside.

Duanmu Ci’s bloodline power had some similarities to Tuoba Yangyu’s, but it was far more terrifying.

The power of confinement.

Under this power, Lin Hao’s every move was restricted.

At the same time, Duanmu Ci directly unleashed his Divine Soul.

It was a butterfly—a cyan butterfly.

With his body trapped by the cyan energy shield, Lin Hao’s expression grew incredibly solemn when he saw this butterfly.

The Soul-Seizing Cyan Jade Butterfly!

This was a marvel from ancient times!

In ancient times, a flap of a Soul-Seizing Cyan Jade Butterfly’s wings could destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth.

For a Martial Artist’s Divine Soul to take the form of such a marvel was even more astounding.

It specialized in seizing others’ Divine Souls for its own use. Many Divine Souls, upon seeing it, would be instantly seized and devoured—a confrontation was out of the question.

Even though Lin Hao possessed the True Self Divine Soul, he felt uncertain facing such an ancient marvel.

The Soul-Seizing Cyan Jade Butterfly was not large, but its speed was incredible, beyond fast.

The moment it appeared, it shot straight for Lin Hao, aiming to burrow into his skull.

With a flap of its wings, the restrictive power of the cyan energy shield intensified; the butterfly and Duanmu Ci’s bloodline power complemented each other perfectly.

A glint flashed in Lin Hao’s eyes as he shot out a hand seal.

But the Soul-Seizing Cyan Jade Butterfly bizarrely managed to evade his hand seal.

If Lin Hao hadn’t reacted in time to block it with his other hand, the Soul-Seizing Cyan Jade Butterfly would have already burrowed into his skull.

Lin Hao’s physical body was terrifyingly tough, but when the Soul-Seizing Cyan Jade Butterfly slammed into his palm, it pierced straight through his hand!

In the distance, a smile appeared on Duanmu Ci’s face as he witnessed this.

Once the Soul-Seizing Cyan Jade Butterfly was stained with an opponent’s blood, that opponent’s death was guaranteed!
