Chapter 781: Chapter 777: One Against Eight

As the old man spoke, his body suddenly straightened. Then, one after another, runes burst forth from his body.

The runes coiled around him, enveloping him in an instant. The old man’s entire body began to burn.

A streak of light shot straight into the crack in the void, heading for the battlefield.

Within the void, a celestial stele shattered, then reformed into a human figure.

Lin Hao had one more enemy.

The old man’s body burned even more terrifyingly, but just then, his body exploded.

The Kan Long Crown Prince struck, his hand reaching into the void.

He pulled out a small creature. It was Xiu Xiu.

"I have been waiting for you to make a move." The Kan Long Crown Prince looked at Xiu Xiu, a wide smile on his face.

"Grand Tutor, I thank you." Then, the Kan Long Crown Prince spoke to the empty space beside him.

That old man had been nothing more than his pawn.

Xiu Xiu was enraged. Its Spirit Treasure Hammer reappeared in the void, moving with incredible speed.

However, a powerful aura erupted from the Kan Long Crown Prince’s body, instantly immobilizing the great hammer.

"I’ve had my eye on you for a while. You have Innate Runes inside you that contain the profound mysteries of laws. Unfortunately for you, they are incomplete. You are no match for me now." The Kan Long Crown Prince smiled, his demeanor calm and casual, yet filled with conceit.

The great hammer vanished. Xiu Xiu glared and swiped its claws at the Kan Long Crown Prince.

Xiu Xiu’s speed was astonishing, and the Kan Long Crown Prince was hit directly.

Strangely, however, not a single drop of blood appeared on his body.

Xiu Xiu retracted its claws, its eyes filled with terror as it looked at the Kan Long Crown Prince.

Although Xiu Xiu was just a mysterious pet, the Kan Long Crown Prince knew its value. Seeing its expression, he felt a little smug.

"Follow me, and you’ll have an endless supply of Spiritual Artifacts to eat, even Spirit Treasures. It will help you grow faster."

The Kan Long Crown Prince spoke, using a combination of threat and reward on Xiu Xiu.

Hearing this, the terror in Xiu Xiu’s big, dark eyes immediately turned to joy. Its large eyes began to glow, and it was practically drooling.

It then held out its paw to the Kan Long Crown Prince, asking for a Spiritual Artifact.

The Kan Long Crown Prince had no storage ring on his finger, yet a Spiritual Artifact materialized out of thin air. It was a Tier Four Spiritual Artifact!

Xiu Xiu lunged for it, but missed.

"I’ve heard that there is a type of contract among Spirit Beasts. I assume you know it. Acknowledge me as your master." An alluring light glinted in the Kan Long Crown Prince’s eyes.

He wasn’t one to be so easily fooled. Even if his opponent was a Spirit Beast, he had to be on his guard.

He wouldn’t make a play that could cost him double.

As he spoke, he caught the subtle change in Xiu Xiu’s eyes.

Xiu Xiu’s eyes widened, completely filled with confusion.

The Kan Long Crown Prince frowned slightly. Then, man and beast stared at each other, beginning a standoff.

BOOM!

Just then, terrifying fluctuations emanated from the crack in the void. Runes flashed within it, and thunder and lightning roared in unison.

A powerful energy swept forth, tearing everything apart.

Xiu Xiu’s fur stood on end, every hair on its body bristling.

But the Kan Long Crown Prince just sneered, unmoving as a mountain.

The moment the immense energy reached him, it vanished into nothingness.

However, he broke his standoff with Xiu Xiu and looked toward the crack in the void, the alluring light reappearing in his eyes.

Inside the crack in the void, Lin Hao fought eight immortal obsessions alone. Though he was at a disadvantage, he remained undefeated.

With every move, the power of his Martial Realm’s domain pervaded the area. The Gang Qi formed from his Chaos True Essence would surge like the ocean one moment, then crisscross the sky like silken threads the next.

Facing the additional obsession, Lin Hao’s eyes changed once more. The Divine Chain transformed into two Celestial Swords, battling the obsessions.

’Eight immortal obsessions, and they still can’t shake him? He’s only at the Sealed Martial Realm Seventh Layer!’ The alluring light in the Kan Long Crown Prince’s eyes vanished, replaced by a chilling killing intent.

However, the killing intent vanished as quickly as it appeared. He then smiled. "The stronger you are, the greater the benefits for me. I’d like to see just where your limit is."

In the Kan Long Crown Prince’s eyes, Lin Hao was already his prey.

At that moment, Lin Hao, the one being treated as prey, suffered a heavy blow.

The eight immortal obsessions attacked relentlessly. The domain power they formed in the void began to resonate strangely, showing signs of merging into one.

In an instant, their aura skyrocketed.

Lin Hao used his body to suppress the Six Dao, but the six small worlds that had merged were collapsing, on the verge of splitting apart.

"Now, you should be playing your trump card," the Kan Long Crown Prince murmured from outside the void.

"Descend!"

Just then, Lin Hao spat out a single word.

As soon as the word was spoken, the unified Six Paths of Reincarnation blazed with light. Lin Hao’s body swelled in size, and his six arms merged into one, forming a gigantic hand that covered all eight immortal obsessions.

This palm strike contained Lin Hao’s Dao; everything he had ever learned was within it.

The aura of the Great Dao permeated the void, as if a god had struck.

Even the Kan Long Crown Prince’s expression changed.

He sensed an incomparably powerful aura of destruction.

BOOM!

Lin Hao’s great hand slammed down, about to shatter the eight immortal obsessions.

But just then, the eight obsessions suddenly merged into one.

A roar echoed, shaking the void.

The roar was filled with unyielding defiance, containing an unparalleled conviction in the Martial Way.

The Boundless Void boomed, and distant regions began to rupture.

The entire void was trembling.

Amidst the roar, the eight-in-one obsession struck, also forming a great hand that crashed against the godlike hand manifested by Lin Hao.

The void shattered, and the massive plaza crumbled.

The Crystal Stone pillars on the plaza and the distant celestial stele were instantly reduced to dust.

A divine light pierced through the void. The Boundless Void was on the verge of ceasing to exist.

The eight immortal obsessions were completely annihilated.

In that area, only a single divine ring remained eternal. Lin Hao stood within it, clad in blood-soaked robes, looking like a god and a demon.

The Kan Long Crown Prince’s pupils contracted, but then his eyes erupted with a fervent light.

At this moment, although Lin Hao had destroyed the eight obsessions, his body was severely injured. It was the perfect time for him to strike.

Abruptly, the Kan Long Crown Prince shot out his hand, reaching for Lin Hao inside the crack in the void.

His claw strike surpassed extreme speeds. The moment his hand moved, it was already above Lin Hao.

But he did not succeed.

Lin Hao’s body vanished in an instant.

Unsurprised, the Kan Long Crown Prince struck again.

He continued like this, his speed reaching its absolute limit.

He was so focused on pinpointing Lin Hao’s position that he couldn’t spare the attention to maintain Xiu Xiu’s prison, and the creature escaped unnoticed.

With a flicker of his body, the Kan Long Crown Prince plunged directly into the crack in the void. His shadows then filled the Boundless Void.

"Imprison!"

After several dozen breaths of time, the Kan Long Crown Prince roared.

The void trembled, twisted, and continuously collapsed.

Before the sound of his voice faded, he struck out abruptly, grabbing toward a specific direction.

This time, a loud BANG erupted.

His body flickered, and he shot backward through the void.

And in the area he had attacked, Lin Hao’s body appeared.

"The Heaven-Stepping Step is truly worthy of being a Great Emperor Skill." The Kan Long Crown Prince came to a stop a few miles in front of Lin Hao, his method of arrival imperceptible.

Lin Hao, covered in blood, sighed. "A pity I’ve only scratched the surface of it."

How could the Kan Long Crown Prince not understand Lin Hao’s meaning? But he merely smiled.

"I am at the Sealed Martial Realm Peak. Normally, I wouldn’t take advantage of someone’s misfortune. However, you possess an Emperor’s art. So now, I will take your life. You have no objections, I presume?"

Lin Hao smiled, and his next action horrified even the Kan Long Crown Prince.
