Chapter 725 -721: Breaking Meridians Again

Lin Hao discovered a strange connection between the three.

Those seven meridians were forged from the seven strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi that evolved as the Creation Jade Butterfly was about to take form.

Ultimately, the seven strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi multiplied into forty-nine, which then reformed every meridian in his body.

Now, seeing the five ruptured meridians, a crazy idea took root in Lin Hao’s mind.

Four words flashed through Lin Hao’s mind.

To break, then build.

“Brother Xu, can you do me a favor?”

Lin Hao immediately asked Xu Zihao.

Xu Zihao nodded without the slightest hesitation.

“Shatter two of my meridians.”

Lin Hao said this calmly.

Xu Zihao’s eyes flew wide open, thinking he must have misheard.

A Martial Artist’s meridians were the foundation of their cultivation. Shattered meridians meant they were crippled!

Not even a Saint was an exception!

For Lin Hao to actually ask him to shatter his meridians… this was by far the craziest thing Xu Zihao had ever heard.

“I already have five ruptured meridians. What’s the difference if there are two more?”

Lin Hao shrugged, still perfectly calm.

It was as if he weren’t talking about himself at all.

Xu Zihao said no more.

He had already made his decision. Even if Lin Hao truly couldn’t recover, he would refine the Five Elements Heaven-Repairing Pill for him.

Besides, what Lin Hao said wasn’t without reason.

Although Xu Zihao had never met Lin Hao before, he had heard many legends about him. He believed that a peerless prodigy like Lin Hao would never joke about something like this.

Since Lin Hao had made such a decision, he must have his reasons.

With that thought, Xu Zihao nodded.

Then, for the first time, Lin Hao exposed the inside of his body to an outsider.

When Xu Zihao’s Divine Sense entered Lin Hao’s body, he was utterly stunned.

Lin Hao’s meridians and internal organs were terrifying to behold.

He discovered that Lin Hao had several times more meridians than he did.

Of course, that wasn’t the most important part.

What was important was that Lin Hao’s meridians were completely different from a normal person’s—something he had never encountered before. And he also discovered traces of something.

All signs indicated that Lin Hao’s meridians had been altered postnatally!

Altering one’s meridians after birth was the stuff of fantasy.

Xu Zihao’s Divine Sense was hit with an unimaginable shock.

Just as he managed to stabilize his Divine Sense and was about to look at Lin Hao’s Dantian, his Divine Sense recoiled violently.

THUD THUD THUD!

Xu Zihao stumbled back several steps before catching his balance, his body trembling.

He hadn’t even gotten a clear look at what was in Lin Hao’s Dantian before a terrifying aura erupted from it, making his very soul tremble.

He had never encountered a situation like this.

Moreover, having awakened his constitution and obtained the Celestial Flame Divine Skill, his Divine Sense was already countless times stronger than it was just a moment ago.

“Sorry, I can’t control it,” Lin Hao said apologetically, already knowing what had happened.

Lin Hao truly hadn’t expected the Creation Jade Butterfly to suddenly release such a terrifying aura.

By the time he noticed, it was too late to do anything.

“It’s fine. But I need a moment to recover.”

Xu Zihao waved his hand and then began to recover.

A full thirty minutes passed before Xu Zihao managed to disperse the terrifying aura his Divine Sense had perceived.

He then extended his Divine Sense into Lin Hao’s body once more.

This time, he gave Lin Hao’s Dantian a wide berth.

Shattering meridians was no small matter, and shattering specific ones was even more difficult. Xu Zihao didn’t dare to be the least bit careless.

Fifteen minutes later, he finally withdrew his Divine Sense.

Lin Hao nodded at him, indicating that he was ready.

Xu Zihao closed his eyes. A few breaths later, they snapped open as he struck Lin Hao with his palm.

Lin Hao was driven into the ground up to his knees.

Xu Zihao looked as if he had seen a ghost!

Because he discovered that the two meridians were completely intact.

He had just used ten percent of his power.

Now that Xu Zihao had entered the Spirit Transformation Realm, even ten percent of his power was terrifying.

Although meridians were resilient, there was a limit. Ten percent of the power of a Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artist was enough to shatter the meridians of countless people.

But Lin Hao’s two meridians showed no signs of breaking at all.

“Brother Xu, add another twenty percent power.”

Lin Hao now had a measure of Xu Zihao’s Palm Force, which was why he spoke up directly.

Xu Zihao’s eyes widened, but he immediately nodded.

After gathering his strength for a few breaths, Xu Zihao struck again.

This time, the better part of Lin Hao’s body was slammed into the ground.

At that same moment, Lin Hao’s body shuddered violently.

Only then did the two meridians finally rupture.

‘Thirty percent of a Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artist’s power couldn’t shatter Brother Lin’s meridians… If word of this got out, it would shake not just the Dragon Transformation Ancient Realm, but probably the entire Divine Demon Destruction Domain!’

Xu Zihao was beyond horrified, sighing with emotion in his heart.

A moment later, Xu Zihao came to his senses. He was about to help pull up Lin Hao, who was still mostly buried in the ground, but he stopped when he saw that Lin Hao was lost in thought.

Just then, however, Lin Hao snapped out of it himself and leaped up with a slap to the ground.

Although two more of his meridians were now ruptured, Xu Zihao had used a precise force that didn’t cause any other damage to Lin Hao’s body.

And even though Lin Hao’s meridians were broken and his cultivation was gone, his explosive physical power remained.

“Brother Lin, what do you need me to do now?”

Xu Zihao asked, looking as if he would follow Lin Hao’s every command.

Lin Hao took a few steps forward and stared into the depths of the Dragon Transformation Ancient Realm. “We’re going to explore this brand-new world. We will tread upon every inch of it.”

Although Lin Hao currently had no cultivation, Xu Zihao felt a vast aura as he stared at his back. It was as if the ancient gods were about to awaken!

Even without his cultivation, Lin Hao was a prodigy. His aura alone was enough to leave every other Martial Artist of his generation in the dust.

Not only did he surpass his peers, but even the Sacred Lords and other masters of the Nine Yang Continent lacked his kind of presence.

Xu Zihao believed that no other Martial Artist could still possess such a domineering aura after losing all their cultivation.

“Alright!”

Xu Zihao let out a sharp breath, answering with a single word as boundless heroism surged in his chest.

BOOM!

At that very moment, his cultivation unexpectedly surged, breaking through to the Second Layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Xu Zihao was overjoyed.

Immediately, his gaze toward Lin Hao became one of utter adoration.

One must remember, in the three months he’d been in the Dragon Transformation Ancient Realm, he had only advanced three minor realms.

The moment Lin Hao appeared, he had broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm. Now, a single gesture had caused him to advance another layer. This was something he wouldn’t have even dared to dream of before.

“Your cultivation still isn’t enough. You know my life is in your hands, after all,”

Lin Hao didn’t turn back, but he seemed to know Xu Zihao’s state and said jokingly.

But Xu Zihao’s expression turned serious. “Don’t worry, Brother Lin. Anyone who wants to harm you will have to step over my dead body!”

“Brother Xu, you exaggerate. Unless I allow it, no one can take my life.”

Lin Hao said this as he strode forward.

‘I have a feeling he’s going to create another legend in the Dragon Transformation Ancient Realm!’

Xu Zihao stared at Lin Hao’s back, muttering to himself.

At that moment, as the rosy light of dawn fell upon Lin Hao, Xu Zihao seemed to see a celestial god reborn.
