Chapter 644 - 640: Great Battle with the Mysterious Man

Chapter 644: Chapter 640: Great Battle with the Mysterious Man

The scene was absolutely breathtaking.

The mysterious man stood proudly at the center of the storm, as unshakable as a mountain connecting heaven and earth.

Lin Hao sat cross-legged in the void, his body moving with the storm. He seemed to follow no discernible path, yet his movements were strangely unique.

The mysterious man’s eyes blazed like two crimson suns as he stared at Lin Hao.

While others could see nothing, this mysterious man was different. He could faintly perceive mysterious runes flashing within Lin Hao’s body.

They were the manifestation of the Zhe Character Skill. This mysterious man had also obtained this very skill, and his spiritual sense was so powerful that he could sense a sliver of Dao Rhyme within Lin Hao.

However, the mysterious man was incredibly arrogant. Even after glimpsing Lin Hao’s secret, he still made no move, intending to let Lin Hao bring his technique to completion.

He waited for a full two hours.

The storm had long since stopped, yet Lin Hao’s body was still spinning.

Suddenly, Divine Flame danced in the mysterious man’s eyes, carrying the power to incinerate all of creation.

At almost the same instant, Lin Hao’s spinning body came to an abrupt halt, and he opened his eyes.

Compared to the overwhelming power in the mysterious man’s eyes, Lin Hao’s own were tranquil, betraying no hint of his strength.

Without a word, the mysterious man reached out, grabbing directly for Lin Hao.

At his level of cultivation, he already had a crystal-clear grasp of his opponent’s aura.

He knew, without a doubt, that Lin Hao was ready.

The mysterious man simply extended his hand, and something terrifying happened.

As his hand descended, it sealed the very space around Lin Hao, forming a world unto itself. A small world was born.

With a mere gesture, his might was heaven-shattering.

This mysterious man possessed an aura of absolute dominion over the world.

He wielded the power of the Martial Dao’s domain with casual ease, in a way that was simply heaven-defying.

However, Lin Hao merely shrugged, and the world held between the mysterious man’s five fingers collapsed.

BOOM!

A deafening explosion rang out as terrifying ripples spread outward, extending for a thousand miles.

"You’re quite impressive. You are now qualified to follow me," the mysterious man said. His voice was soft, yet incomparably arrogant and domineering.

His five fingers remained in the void. Even as he spoke, he manifested another world, once again imprisoning Lin Hao within it.

This time, with a flick of his little finger, a planet materialized within that world.

The planet hurtled directly toward Lin Hao.

Lin Hao neither dodged nor evaded. With a single slash of his hand through the void, the planet was instantly sliced apart.

But the sliced planet wasn’t destroyed. Instead, it split into two and once again hurtled toward Lin Hao.

Lin Hao’s brow twitched. He spread his arms, his hands forming into claws as he grabbed directly for the two planets.

His strike was incredibly fast, and his hands found their marks in an instant.

However, the two planets burst apart in his grip.

RUMBLE!

The sound was heaven-shaking. Fragments shot from Lin Hao’s fingertips, piercing straight through the small world. Even after flying for a thousand miles, their power was undiminished. In an instant, several people in their path lost their lives, their bodies exploding on impact.

If a single fragment possessed such power, one could only imagine the force Lin Hao had to endure.

Yet Lin Hao was completely unafraid of such power.

A body that had attained Sainthood was terrifying to a degree that defied belief.

Ultimately, the two planets were annihilated in Lin Hao’s hands.

Lin Hao didn’t wait for the mysterious man to strike again. He took the initiative and went on the offensive.

With a soft cry, the space before Lin Hao roiled. The primordial energy within the small world coalesced, forming five tangible blades that slashed toward the man’s five fingers.

Instead of retreating, the mysterious man advanced, bringing his five fingers together to meet the five sharp blades.

At the same time, Lin Hao moved as well.

In a flicker, he appeared outside the grasp of the five fingers.

He had broken through the space with effortless ease.

The mysterious man showed no surprise, simply allowing Lin Hao to escape.

This startled even Lin Hao. Logically, he shouldn’t have been able to escape so easily.

’This mysterious man is bizarre,’ he thought.

"What in the world is he trying to do?!" In the distance, Di Xieqing muttered to himself.

Yi Tianxie had been slain by Lin Hao, and his war chariot had been taken into Lin Hao’s spiritual storage ring. Although Di Xieqing was now a solitary figure, he still stood proudly in this world, where the number of those who could contend with him was more than a handful.

But as for the mysterious man, he couldn’t see through him at all.

When the mysterious man had fought them earlier, it seemed he hadn’t used his full strength and had held something back.

Of course, the same was true for him.

Di Xieqing believed Shui Youyou had done the same.

The man had provoked the battle with words but then didn’t fight with his full strength. At first, Di Xieqing had assumed he was holding back in anticipation of Lin Hao’s fight.

But now he was doing the same against Lin Hao, which left Di Xieqing completely baffled.

Elsewhere, Shui Youyou had the same question, but unlike Di Xieqing, someone was there to answer it for her.

"In a moment, a world-shaking event is going to happen. If my guess is correct, he..." Yun Boyang trailed off, a look of shock appearing in his eyes.

This was a man who had once undergone nirvana, a former Saint. For even his eyes to show such an expression, one could only imagine how terrifying his speculation must be.

"Youyou, this grand and perilous era has begun. If you wish to contend for the supreme path, you must watch what happens next very carefully. A Martial Artist should possess the valor to crush any foe in this world."

Yun Boyang spoke to Shui Youyou, but his gaze was fixed on the endless void. At that moment, his aura was boundlessly terrifying.

Wei Yutian and the two with him stared at Yun Boyang, their eyes filled with reverence and awe.

Yun Boyang’s cultivation was still at the Soul Gathering Realm, yet he exuded the spiritual pressure of a Saint!

"I understand. Congratulations, Uncle Yun. There is hope for you to attain Sainthood once more." Shui Youyou first nodded seriously, but her voice was already filled with joy.

Yun Boyang said no more, and his aura became faint and erratic.

Shui Youyou and the others didn’t disturb him, turning their attention back to the great battle.

In the short time they had been speaking, Lin Hao and the mysterious man had already clashed an unknown number of times.

The area where the two fought was now flashing with runes, interwoven with Divine Chains, and suffused with Chaos Qi—a scene of monstrous, overwhelming power.

The mysterious man raised a hand to manifest a world; Lin Hao shattered it with brute force.

The two of them fought with grand, sweeping movements, their battle reaching a fever pitch.

The void twisted and warped. Not only were ancient, mythical beasts being conjured into existence, but endless other living beings also manifested from the emptiness.

Their great battle caused constant celestial anomalies, each one more terrifying than the last.

But Lin Hao was deeply puzzled.

Just like Shui Youyou and the others, Lin Hao could sense that the mysterious man was holding something back.

It seemed as though the mysterious man was always the one initiating the attacks, but in reality, he was in a state of absolute passivity.

It was incredibly strange. Lin Hao felt as if he were being led by the nose.

It was as if the mysterious man was playing a grand game of chess, and he, Lin Hao, was merely a pawn.

But at that very moment, the mysterious man’s aura suddenly surged, intensifying countless times over.

Endless Divine Flame roiled in his eyes, threatening to erupt.

A boundless pressure washed over him, and Lin Hao’s heart pounded with a sense of dread.

"This is the moment!" the mysterious man whispered.

Lin Hao’s eyes narrowed. Instead of retreating, he advanced.

He spotted a nearly non-existent flaw. Absolutely confident in his own abilities, Lin Hao didn’t fear that it might be a deliberate trap. He closed the distance in an instant.

BOOM!

Lin Hao thrust out both fists, and the mysterious man was sent flying.

However, what happened next left even Lin Hao utterly dumbstruck.
