Chapter 657 - 653: Besieging Demon Lord Mountain

Chapter 657: Chapter 653: Besieging Demon Lord Mountain

It wasn’t just Shui Youyou and Di Xieqing sending voice transmissions to Lin Hao; the others were doing the same.

The dozen or so who remained until the end were clearly significant figures.

None of them were weak. Not only were they all experts at the Yin Yang Realm Peak, but they were also the most likely candidates to achieve sainthood.

Even figures of their caliber couldn’t remain calm after hearing the Realm Lord’s words.

If they had the chance to observe the great fortune of the Divinity Realm, they would absolutely have a chance to become quasi-Emperors!

This was a temptation no one could refuse.

However, Lin Hao’s reaction took everyone by surprise.

"I haven’t thought of anything for now. We can discuss it later," Lin Hao said calmly.

PFFT!

At Lin Hao’s words, the dozen or so people felt the urge to spit blood.

’The great fortune of the Divinity Realm is absolutely the best reward, and he says we can discuss it later...’ Everyone felt the urge to strangle Lin Hao to death.

"Oh?" Even the Realm Lord was surprised by Lin Hao’s words. He then said, "I must tell you, the greatest reward I can offer is the great fortune of the Divinity Realm."

Lin Hao still shook his head.

The great fortune of the Divinity Realm was the power of the Great Emperor’s Law. The Realm Lord naturally possessed this power as well, though his grasp of it was incomplete. Lin Hao had already glimpsed that power within the Black Hole Space the Realm Lord had manifested, so he naturally had no desire for it.

However, to avoid arousing suspicion, Lin Hao said, "What belongs to another will always be theirs in the end."

The martial artists were all stunned.

’Lin Hao refused even the Great Emperor’s Law, and only because it belonged to someone else? Could it be that he’s confident he can surpass a Great Emperor?!!’

"Arrogant!" a martial artist said coldly, spitting out the word.

’Lin Hao is indeed strong, but for him to show no respect for a Great Emperor... that’s going too far.’

"I have seen many prodigies in my time, peerless in their generation when young, yet very, very few of them ultimately amounted to anything," another person spoke up.

The two spoke in low voices, but everyone present possessed extraordinary cultivation, so their words were heard by all.

Just then, Lin Hao abruptly turned. "Whether or not I fulfill my potential is not your concern. But what I do know is that if either of you says one more word, you’ll become a pile of dried bones!"

Lin Hao showed no mercy. His voice was quiet, but his killing intent was unmistakable.

He had just received countless voice transmissions. Though they had arrived at roughly the same time, he could naturally distinguish between the voices.

The two who had just spoken were currying favor with him via voice transmission only moments ago, but now they were sneering at him. Lin Hao, of course, would not be courteous to them.

The two of them froze, not daring to speak another word.

Lin Hao stood at the pinnacle of power in this place. If they uttered another word, they would be annihilated, body and soul.

"Since you have no request, let this gathering be dismissed," the Realm Lord said, before fading into the horizon.

The martial artists said no more and left with the greatest possible speed.

Di Xieqing did the same.

While moments ago he might have had the spirit to contend with Lin Hao, after witnessing Lin Hao’s Power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he no longer dared to be so audacious.

He, too, had trump cards he hadn’t used, but a fight with Lin Hao would only lead to both of them suffering heavy losses, ultimately benefiting only Shui Youyou.

After Di Xieqing departed, Shui Youyou paused for a moment before leaving as well.

The great battle in the Divinity Realm came to a close, and many were discussing the event.

But the Martial Artists of the Celestial Yang Continent were not among them.

Because at that very moment, a great war was unfolding on the Celestial Yang Continent.

On the Celestial Yang Continent, Demon Lord Mountain—a great peak forgotten by the world for over a millennium—was now thundering.

Both Lin Wu and the master of Demon Lord Mountain had been defeated in the Divinity Realm. Moreover, Lin Hao’s attack had contained a terrifying, divine power.

Even without an ancient forbidden artifact involved, their real bodies had been brought to the brink of death.

The master of Demon Lord Mountain had sent out "invitations" far and wide before the duel between Lin Hao and Lin Wu had even started, so it was no secret that Lin Wu was on Demon Lord Mountain.

With Lin Wu and the white tiger having been annihilated by Lin Hao in the Divinity Realm, now was the perfect time to attack Demon Lord Mountain.

Furthermore, Lin Wu’s physical body was a Harmony Dominator Body—a priceless treasure to any Martial Artist.

Demon Lord Mountain had become a battlefield, with one terrifying figure after another making their move.

Among these people were Holy Land Lords and Abbots from Esoteric Sects.

The Celestial Yang Continent was a lower realm that suppressed the cultivation of Martial Artists, making the Sealed Martial Realm the absolute limit. The cultivation of these Holy Lords and Abbots was infinitely close to the Sealed Martial Realm, and when they struck, their power was truly earth-shattering.

One white tiger after another fell.

Experts at the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak wielded the power of a Martial Dao Domain. With a single strike, they could lock down the surrounding space before causing the white tigers to explode into a bloody mist.

The cultivation of these white tigers was impressive, but in the hands of the Holy Lords and Abbots, they couldn’t withstand a single blow.

"Hurry and get to the central palace! We need to kill Lin Wu’s physical body and that old white tiger!" someone yelled, their expression fraught with anxiety.

’The power of those two is immense. It would be a catastrophe if they were allowed to recover.’

"Right!" someone responded, and a Spiritual Artifact materialized in their hand.

The Spiritual Artifact’s light flared as it shot directly toward the palace at the center of Demon Lord Mountain.

For an expert at the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak to use a Spiritual Artifact, the resulting attack was devastatingly powerful.

However, runes flickered across the palace, blocking the strike.

The faces of the Holy Lords and Abbots fell.

Someone made a powerful move, rapidly closing in on the palace.

’If we truly can’t break in, it will be a catastrophe for us all.’

Eventually, all the Holy Lords and Abbots gathered before the great gate of the floating palace.

There was no physical gate, only a curtain of flashing runes.

Through the runes, they could clearly see Lin Wu collapsed on the floor. A pool of fresh blood lay before him, and he had yet to awaken.

The master of Demon Lord Mountain, the old white tiger, was in the same condition.

"Lin Hao is too terrifying. His strike in the Divinity Realm inflicted an unrecoverable, grievous wound upon them both," a Holy Lord lamented.

"Quick, break these runes, or we’ll all be dead!" someone beside him urged anxiously.

"Right!" They all knew how urgent the matter was and attacked simultaneously.

For a time, the area was filled with incessant rumbling as the Holy Lords and Abbots struck together to break the runes.

The runes flashed, a terrifying power evolving within them. A full hour passed before they finally shattered.

The Holy Lords and Abbots swarmed in, all of them reaching for Lin Wu’s body.

As for the old white tiger, even as they reached for Lin Wu, they all manifested the power of their Martial Dao Domains and obliterated it on the spot.

They dared not be careless with Lin Wu, either. As they lunged for him, they also fired off blasts of True Essence.

Lin Wu’s heart was instantly pierced through.

Immediately afterward, an even fiercer battle erupted in the area.

Lin Wu’s corpse was a priceless treasure to them. By obtaining it, they could create another Harmony Dominator Body.

SPURT! SPURT!

A moment later, several of them were bleeding from their wounds.

"Stop! There’s no point in this! The Lifebound True Blood in his body must be transferred immediately, or it will lose its divine power! When that happens, all of this will have been for nothing!" one of the Holy Lords shouted.

At these words, everyone stopped their struggle and turned to look at Lin Wu’s body.

Just at that moment, something unexpected happened...
