Chapter 656 - 652: Heaven-Burning Blood Sea

Chapter 656: Chapter 652: Heaven-Burning Blood Sea

The Realm Lord reappeared, and a powerful, oppressive force surged from the firmament.

At the same time, an ancient chanting sound rang out, spreading throughout heaven and earth.

It was as if a deity was about to awaken.

BOOM!

The Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor’s swelling body shuddered under the immense oppressive force, and the void itself warped.

At the same time, his body was being suppressed.

And that was not all. One after another, Divine Chains shot out from the firmament, attacking the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor.

These Divine Chains possessed world-shaking divine might, for they were formed from Chaos Qi.

This Chaos Qi was more terrifying than any before it. It was the power of the universe’s Origin—boundlessly dreadful, as if a deity itself was striking.

The Divine Chains had the power to pierce through anything. They slammed toward the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor at extreme speed, aiming to kill him on the spot!

It was safe to say that this was the Realm Lord’s strongest state.

He had been hiding his true strength all along.

The Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor recalled the six Saint Bone Swords. A vast ocean of blood manifested in his eyes, once again forming a Blood Sun.

The Blood Sun crashed into the Divine Chains, attempting to block their attack.

However, the Divine Chains were now incomparably powerful. The Blood Sun was instantly shattered beneath them.

The Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor was sent flying, coughing up mouthfuls of blood.

The Divine Chains’ attack was too powerful. His body streaked across the sky, flying for a full thousand li.

But the Divine Chains followed him like a shadow, attacking once more. They were dead set on killing him!

"Damn it!"

The Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor was filled with hatred. If not for these Divine Chains, he would have killed Lin Hao. With their appearance, he had not only lost his chance but had also been severely wounded.

His energy had been severely depleted by the successive battles.

Especially at the end, when Lin Hao had used the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation to crush his Quasi-Emperor Bone Sword, which had greatly diminished his strength.

"Heaven-Burning Blood Sea!"

The Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor let out a furious roar that shattered the clouds in the sky.

Amidst the roar, a monstrous aura of blood erupted from the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor, enveloping his entire body. The boundless blood-red energy then spread outwards, expanding in all directions at an unimaginable speed.

"Get back!"

Yun Boyang roared, grabbing Shui Youyou and leading the way as he flew toward the outer region.

The Heaven-Burning Blood Sea could incinerate the very heavens. If they didn’t retreat, not even their bones would remain!

The other Martial Artists were horrified, sensing a threat to their lives unlike any they had ever felt before.

Everyone was retreating at a speed they could not have imagined themselves capable of.

Even Lin Hao’s heart skipped a beat.

He was using a special art to heal his injuries.

His injuries had just mostly healed. The might of the Heaven-Burning Blood Sea was simply heaven-defying. Without a second thought, Lin Hao also headed for the outer region.

’The Realm Lord has been hiding his strength and surely has more tricks up his sleeve. It’s impossible for the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor to seize the inheritance here.’

’There’s no point in staying here.’

However, just as Lin Hao was about to leave, he stopped in his tracks.

A dozen or so other people did the same.

Some had already escaped.

But others were a step too slow. They were touched by the sea of blood and turned to dust without even a grunt.

The sea of blood hadn’t reached them yet, so they naturally didn’t need to retreat any further.

This was merely the aftershock of the blood sea; its true opponent was the Divine Chains descending from the firmament.

A vast portion of the outer region had transformed into a sea of blood. The blood sea boiled as colossal waves surged into the sky, crashing against the celestial Divine Chains.

Everyone stared, dumbfounded.

It was the first time they had ever seen someone in the Soul Gathering Realm capable of unleashing such power!

This was a true battle against the heavens!

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The waves crashed against the Divine Chains, creating a terrifying sound.

The Chaos Qi on the Divine Chains flew about wildly, creating a horrifying spectacle.

But the Divine Chains were terrifyingly resilient; they were not annihilated by the sea of blood.

The great waves in the sea of blood transformed again. Each wave became a blood-colored giant, its massive hands reaching for the Divine Chains, attempting to grind them into nothingness!

This was the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor. His power was heaven-defying; he showed no fear, even against the manifestation of the Realm Lord’s divine will.

But the Divine Chains were dreadfully powerful. With a single shudder, they shattered all the blood-colored giants.

Simultaneously, a single, incomprehensible glyph rang out from the firmament.

A wave of power descended from the firmament, and the once-turbulent sea of blood could no longer stir up any waves.

"What a Realm Lord! I underestimated you. We will fight again another day! Lin Hao, you should be glad this is the Divinity Realm!" The sea of blood began to recede. The Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor’s voice rang out, seeming to come from all directions, his true location unknown.

The Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor knew he was outmatched and wanted to retreat.

"Hah!"

At that moment, Lin Hao let out a sharp cry. The Harmony Dragon Performance Skill appeared once more, and he again mobilized the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, intending to keep the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor here.

’No one has ever seen the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor’s true body. And he has obtained the physique of an Emperor’s Son. If he’s given time, he will grow to a truly terrifying level. Who knows how many people outside will be slaughtered by him.’

The power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation manifested, and the Purple Dragon opened its maw, inhaling and devouring the boundless sea of blood.

"You can’t keep me here!" The Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor’s voice echoed, then faded into silence.

The boundless sea of blood also vanished.

He had vanished from this outer region.

Lin Hao returned to his original form, his brow slightly furrowed.

The firmament returned to tranquility, but it had become a true void. After the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor’s last attack, nothing remained.

The great battle came to an end. It could be said that Lin Hao was the true victor.

He had vanquished Lin Wu, battled Di Xieqing, and fought the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor, yet he still stood tall beneath the sky.

The dozen or so people who remained looked at Lin Hao with complicated expressions.

This young man was breathtakingly talented. He was destined to rise.

But Lin Hao felt no joy. This battle had made him realize he still had a long way to go.

In silent contemplation, Lin Hao turned to leave.

"Wait." The Realm Lord’s voice rang out at that moment.

The next moment, he manifested as a middle-aged man and appeared before Lin Hao.

"Today, you have rendered an unparalleled service in defending this region. According to ancient rules, you may make one request. As long as it is within my power, I will grant it," the Realm Lord said.

Hearing the Realm Lord’s words, the eyes of Di Xieqing, Shui Youyou, Yun Boyang, and the others glinted with a peculiar light.

This was practically handing Lin Hao a great fortune on a silver platter!

’Make a request... He doesn’t even need to think about it. He’ll obviously ask for a share of the Divinity Realm’s fortune!’

The Divinity Realm’s fortune contained the Great Emperor’s Law. To a Martial Artist, this was a priceless treasure.

It was invaluable not only to Soul Gathering Realm Martial Artists, but even to Saints.

Yun Boyang, in particular, knew its true worth.

’After all, the one who just escaped was a revived Quasi-Emperor! For even a figure like that to defy the heavens just to seize the Divinity Realm’s fortune... its value is unimaginable.’

These Martial Artists stared intently at Lin Hao, their expressions a complex mix of envy, jealousy, and more.

At that moment, they all wished they were Lin Hao.

Lin Hao stood motionless, silent for a long time.

"Idiot! What are you thinking about? Ask the Realm Lord for the Divinity Realm’s fortune!" Shui Youyou couldn’t hold back any longer and sent a mental transmission to Lin Hao.

"Lin Hao, that mysterious Emperor’s Son was terrifyingly powerful. I think we can write off the grudges between us." After weighing the pros and cons, Di Xieqing also sent a mental transmission to Lin Hao.

The Divinity Realm’s fortune was simply too significant.
