Chapter 785: Chapter 781: Touching the Yin-Yang Realm

The moment the Creation Jade Butterfly moved, it drained all the True Essence from Lin Hao’s body, leaving him emaciated. However, this also brought him immense benefits.

Now, an even purer Chaos True Essence nourished his entire body, which was tantamount to a complete rebirth.

Lin Hao’s meridians, bones, flesh, hair—even his very cells—were being transformed.

An unknown amount of time passed before Lin Hao’s body returned to its original state.

Within the Black Hole Space, everything continued as before, but Lin Hao’s eyes suddenly snapped open.

Within his eyes, visions of the sun, moon, and stars materialized. Constellations shifted and entire seas turned into mulberry fields as countless phenomena unfolded and dissolved.

After his body was enriched by the True Essence refined by the Creation Jade Butterfly, Lin Hao’s connection to it grew stronger. At the same time, it gave him a deeper understanding of the martial path.

All of this was information unconsciously released by the Creation Jade Butterfly. Though it vanished in an instant, Lin Hao managed to capture it.

Eventually, all the visions in Lin Hao’s eyes vanished, replaced by a fleeting, distinct aura.

It was the aura of the Mother Qi of All Things.

After he refined his body with the even purer Chaos True Essence, the aura of the Mother Qi of All Things had grown a degree stronger.

Furthermore, the natal purple blood in Lin Hao’s Dantian underwent an extremely subtle change.

The blood’s purple hue seemed to have deepened.

With a mere thought, the Six Paths of Reincarnation manifested once more.

Lin Hao used his body to anchor the Reincarnation, actually managing to sit cross-legged within the Black Hole Space.

By now, the Black Hole Space had absorbed an unknown amount of energy. It was so powerful that even a world-supporting giant would be instantly torn to shreds upon entry, yet Lin Hao remained stable.

If any other Martial Artist were to witness this, they would surely be horrified.

But what came next was even more terrifying.

Lin Hao anchored the Reincarnation with his body. The unified Six Dao formed a disc, and as he sat cross-legged in its center, he resembled a peerless Divine King wreathed in an Endless Divine Ring.

The aura of the Mother Qi of All Things permeated the disc, making it all the more terrifying.

Suddenly, Lin Hao inhaled sharply, and the Black Hole Space actually began to collapse!

That’s right—it was collapsing!

The very same Black Hole Space that had absorbed endless energy without issue was now collapsing from a single breath from Lin Hao.

Immediately, the disc grew incomparably brilliant. Myriad rays of divine light burst forth, piercing straight through the Black Hole Space.

The Black Hole Space then shattered into fragments.

The disc, like the entrance to another realm, devoured everything.

With the Black Hole Space gone, Lin Hao appeared in the Boundless void, like a deity.

A faint smile touched Lin Hao’s lips before he closed his eyes.

His Six Paths of Reincarnation had undergone a qualitative transformation, and his understanding of the martial path had deepened.

Now, with a mere shift of his consciousness, Lin Hao could explore the endless void.

The power of his martial arts domain was constantly expanding.

Lin Hao "saw" the fragments of shattered planets, "saw" one strange stream of energy after another, and glimpsed the very Origin of the void.

Just then, Lin Hao’s True Self Divine Soul appeared without a sound. Its eyes blazed with light as it slashed through the void.

Suddenly, Lin Hao realized that the connection between himself and his True Self Divine Soul seemed to have been severed.

But upon careful searching, he could still perceive its existence.

At this moment, it was as if a beaded curtain hung between Lin Hao’s physical body and his True Self Divine Soul. It severed their direct connection, yet simultaneously linked them together.

The separation of body and spirit, connected by a thread even when severed—this was the sign of evolving from the Sealed Martial Realm to the Yin-Yang Realm.

Unbeknownst to him, Lin Hao had already reached the Sealed Martial Realm Peak and was touching the very edge of the Yin-Yang Realm.

Ever since he understood the principle of cultivating the martial path itself rather than just its realms, Lin Hao’s journey had become much smoother.

As long as his comprehension of the martial path improved, his Martial Arts Realm would naturally follow.

On the journey of martial arts, cultivating one’s realm first and only then glimpsing the martial path was putting the cart before the horse.

The Yin-Yang Realm was not unfamiliar to Lin Hao, as Chu Tiandu was far beyond it.

Therefore, upon this discovery, Lin Hao wasn’t panicked. He simply continued to explore the endless void.

His True Self Divine Soul, just like his main body, was also roaming the void.

All at once, a massive Yin-Yang Fish appeared in the void.

It was a phenomenon that occurred whenever his physical body and True Self Divine Soul came into contact.

Lin Hao registered the phenomenon, and a thought immediately sparked in his mind.

’The Divine Soul is yin, the body is yang. Only when these two truly fuse can one enter the Yin-Yang Realm and subsequently open the middle Dantian.’

’The middle Dantian... that is where a deity is housed.’

’Therefore, truly peerless geniuses, even those from ancient lineages, would never cultivate an external deity. That’s because after opening the middle Dantian and achieving the Saint Position, they themselves become a deity!’

’This must be why Dugu Shang has no deity within his body.’

Lin Hao had naturally understood this principle, but upon seeing this phenomenon now, he discovered an even more profound aspect of the martial path.

"Can one only forge a deity within the body after achieving the Saint Position? I don’t think so. The nurturing of a deity can begin as early as the Yin-Yang Realm."

Lin Hao’s voice rang out in the Boundless void.

As he spoke, the Creation Jade Butterfly in his Dantian trembled lightly.

Lin Hao had a feeling that its connection with him had grown even stronger.

This was a form of acknowledgment.

It was proof that nurturing a deity in the Yin-Yang Realm was possible.

As Lin Hao’s consciousness explored the Boundless void, it suddenly extended out, seemingly to infinity.

Suddenly, his exploration hit a barrier, unable to advance any further.

Lin Hao knew this was the current limit of his martial arts domain.

Just as he began to ponder how to break through, his physical body and True Self Divine Soul intertwined once more.

In the void, the Yin-Yang Fish reappeared.

This time, the Yin-Yang Fish was even larger and more tangible.

That peculiar sensation became even more distinct.

Moreover, it lasted for a longer duration this time.

Unfortunately, they lacked a crucial energy to support their fusion and could not truly combine.

But even so, this was an astonishing feat.

No one else could have achieved such a thing while only just beginning to grasp the mysteries of the Yin-Yang Realm.

Of course, this was also because Lin Hao’s Divine Soul was his own self. The two were naturally a perfect match, far beyond what a Divine Soul formed from an inanimate object or even a Devil Beast could compare to.

Even a peerless Martial Artist who used an ancient, exotic treasure as their Divine Soul could not compare to Lin Hao’s True Self Divine Soul.

And yet, Lin Hao sighed, "I thought my True Self Divine Soul was completely under my control, that I could step into the Yin-Yang Realm in a single go. Looks like I overestimated myself."

Thankfully, this was the Boundless void, and no one could hear him. Otherwise, even deities would probably cough up blood in frustration.

After his sigh, Lin Hao focused his mind, located his True Self Divine Soul, and prepared to attempt the yin-yang fusion once more.

’A mere Crown Prince from the Kanlong Royal Court has the power of the Sealed Martial Realm Peak, and who knows how many terrifying experts stand behind him,’ Lin Hao thought. ’If I don’t raise my realm, all that awaits me is death.’

’If I can’t break into the Yin-Yang Realm, my martial arts domain can’t expand. It’s a dead end.’

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, Lin Hao still couldn’t make the Yin-Yang Fish merge into a true whole.

Still, Lin Hao’s gains were immense.

At the very least, the duration of their fusion was steadily increasing.

But Lin Hao was still unsatisfied. "Forget entering the Yin-Yang Realm in a single step, this must be dozens of steps by now," he muttered. "It’s a good thing this place is Boundless, otherwise I’d have nowhere to hide my face."

The moment the words were spoken, the void suddenly changed.
