Chapter 727: Fist Domain

Chapter 727 -723: Fist Domain

Faced with the shadow of Lin Hao’s fists, Xu Zihao could hold his own at first, but he gradually grew horrified.

Lin Hao showed absolutely no signs of exhaustion.

Lin Hao’s fists were growing more and more terrifying.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth surged toward Lin Hao’s body.

Although his broken meridians prevented him from cultivating, absorbing the primordial energy of the world wasn’t difficult for Lin Hao.

While this primordial energy couldn’t be converted into True Essence, it could be transformed into vital energy and blood, allowing it to flow throughout his entire body.

One could say that as long as the primordial energy of the world was not exhausted, Lin Hao’s Blood Shifting Skill was endless.

The Blood Shifting Skill circulated vital energy and blood throughout the body. Even with seven of his meridians severed, the flow of Lin Hao’s vital energy and blood remained unaffected.

When he had first opened those seven meridians, his remaining ones had become far thicker and more robust than those of an ordinary Martial Artist.

Vital energy and blood surged, channeled through Lin Hao’s arms and unleashed as a torrent of fist shadows. A fierce gale ravaged the area, kicking up countless Mad Dragons of dust and wind.

With every punch Lin Hao threw, the very air seemed to twist and distort.

Yet, the explosive reports from his punches were growing quieter and quieter.

Lin Hao was circulating his vital energy and blood not just into the meridians and muscles of his arms, but all the way down to the smallest cells, filling them with power.

Lin Hao’s punches were wide and powerful, yet they contained a peculiar Dao Rhyme.

Although Lin Hao couldn’t use his cultivation base, his martial arts comprehension remained. As he continued to punch, the power of a martial domain began to materialize in the air around him.

The space between his fists transformed directly into a domain of confinement!

This was utterly terrifying.

After all, Lin Hao’s arms could now extend to more than ten feet in length!

In close-quarters combat, even a Martial Artist at the Third Layer of Spirit Transformation Realm would meet a bitter end!

And that wasn’t even factoring in the element of surprise.

The current Xu Zihao was living proof.

His cultivation was at the Spirit Transformation Realm Peak, yet the moment this domain of confinement appeared, the hair on his body stood on end as he felt the threat of death.

Without a second thought, he retreated explosively.

But a moment later, he was aghast.

He couldn’t escape Lin Hao’s domain of confinement!

The threat of death grew ever more intense.

Xu Zihao frantically activated the Celestial Flame Divine Skill.

His body turned crimson as an incomparably scorching aura erupted from him.

Immediately, Xu Zihao felt a surge of immense power.

At this critical juncture, he had broken through to the Fourth Layer of Spirit Transformation Realm!

The next moment, the power of the Fourth Layer of Spirit Transformation Realm surged forth.

Lin Hao’s domain of confinement wavered, but it was not completely destroyed.

Lin Hao’s fists, one from the left and one from the right, hammered toward the sides of Xu Zihao’s head.

Xu Zihao struck out, slapping his palms against Lin Hao’s arms.

His palms were now crimson, a sign that he was using the Celestial Flame Divine Skill to channel the aberrant flame within his body.

The collision of his palms against Lin Hao’s arms unleashed a heaven-shaking shockwave.

The ground at the center of their clash collapsed, the destruction spreading rapidly outward.

Xu Zihao’s attack had only managed to push Lin Hao’s arms away from his head.

The moment his palms struck Lin Hao’s arms, he felt as if he had crashed into a pillar holding up the heavens.

Lin Hao’s arms were simply not something that could be moved by ordinary force.

At the same time, Lin Hao snapped back to his senses.

He had been using the Blood Shifting Skill and had gradually entered a state of selflessness, his entire being immersed in a profound and ethereal realm.

Now, Xu Zihao’s palm strike contained an incredibly scorching power—a wild and tyrannical force with a terrifying aura that seemed capable of incinerating everything.

It was this very aura that had pulled Lin Hao from that mystical state.

The aura around Lin Hao instantly dissipated.

The presence of the confinement domain vanished.

Sensing this, Xu Zihao knew that their match for the day was over.

Withdrawing his palms, Xu Zihao departed in silence.

He knew that Lin Hao would reflect on their duel every time they fought.

Now, he had also adopted this habit, because contemplating their duels was a path to becoming stronger.

The area returned to tranquility.

The same could not be said for the distance, however.

Faintly, the roar of a Devil Beast could be heard.

The sound seemed to travel from tens of thousands of miles away, yet it still carried a world-shaking, divine might.

When the Devil Beast’s roar echoed, a dead silence fell over the surroundings.

The roar of the Devil Beast silenced all living things for tens of thousands of miles.

Lin Hao, however, was unaffected. Instead, he seized the opportunity to instantly enter the Void Spirit State.

His body seemed to merge with the void itself.

Lin Hao was still walking the Path of Enlightenment!

Even without his cultivation, nothing could stop him from deducing and advancing along his martial path.

In his Upper Dantian, his True Self Divine Soul sat cross-legged. Within its eyes, the Six Paths of Reincarnation churned.

The True Self Divine Soul walked the martial path alongside Lin Hao’s physical body.

With Lin Hao’s cultivation gone, although his True Self Divine Soul was still usable, its realm had fallen too far. In its current state, it was incapable of reprising its former glory.

However, one could predict that once Lin Hao managed to restore his cultivation, he would become even more terrifying.

By then, with his deep reserves finally unleashed, it wouldn’t be impossible for his cultivation to jump several layers at once.

The Dragon Transformation Ancient Realm was already shrouded in darkness, and the night had grown deep.

Yet, terrifying roars echoed endlessly from the distance, silencing the myriad mountains.

Lin Hao’s body remained in a void-like state, completely untroubled by the roars.

When Lin Hao emerged from the Void Spirit State, the sky was whitening in the east. A new day had begun.

The moment he opened his eyes, Lin Hao saw Xu Zihao standing not far away.

Lin Hao was inwardly puzzled.

Xu Zihao looked as if he hadn’t slept for several nights.

“Brother Xu, what’s the matter?”

Lin Hao asked, his curiosity piqued.

Xu Zihao gave a bitter smile. “Brother Lin, the Devil Beast in the distance roared all night. Even though it was tens of thousands of miles away, whenever it roared, my heart felt like it was being struck by a sledgehammer…”

A sense of defeat washed over him.

He had thought that after awakening his special constitution, he would be able to catch up to Lin Hao. He never imagined that even without his cultivation, Lin Hao would remain just as terrifying, leaving him in the dust time and time again.

Hearing Xu Zihao’s words, Lin Hao instantly understood his state of mind.

So, Lin Hao smiled reassuringly. “I was the same at first, actually. But as long as you have an unshakeable will, fear ceases to be fear. You must remember: as long as you harbor no fear in your heart, no person or thing can ever strike you down.”

“As long as I harbor no fear, I will never fall…” Xu Zihao murmured, his eyes growing brighter and brighter. He was having an epiphany.

A moment later, the gloom in Xu Zihao’s heart was swept away. A vision of a great conflagration—a Heaven-Burning fire—flashed in his eyes.

His cultivation instantly skyrocketed. Although he still couldn’t break past the Fourth Layer of Spirit Transformation Realm, he reached the peak of the fourth layer, just a single step away from the Fifth Layer.

“Let’s go—”

Lin Hao started to speak, but abruptly cut himself off.

At the same time, Xu Zihao also looked up, gazing into the distance.

Where their gazes fell, they saw a party of five people.

In their time traveling deep into the Dragon Transformation Ancient Realm, the two had encountered other Martial Artists before.

They had met them more than once, in fact, usually in teams of ten or even dozens.

Some factions with weaker cultivation, aware of the terrors within the Dragon Transformation Ancient Realm, chose to set up camp at the peripheries, building up large settlements.

Whenever they encountered such groups, they always chose to give them a wide berth.

This time, the two prepared to do the same.

However, trouble had come looking for them.
