Chapter 788: Chapter 784: Demon Venerable Unleashes His Might

Lin Hao smiled, his grin exceptionally bright, because the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body was in a much sorrier state than he was.

Although the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body’s face was still blurry and indistinct, its physical condition was clearly visible.

At this moment, the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body had completely lost its previous supreme bearing. In the recent chaotic light, its body had been pierced in multiple places.

This was extremely shocking.

One had to know that previously, when Lin Hao had manifested a celestial blade and cleaved its body in two with a single strike, it had been able to recover quickly. But now, the pierced wounds could not be healed in an instant.

The chaotic light possessed astonishing destructive power, for it contained a portion of the destructive mysteries of the Dao Sound.

Even though this Demon Venerable’s Dao Body surpassed the Sealed Martial Realm and possessed terrifying regenerative abilities, it still couldn’t negate the damage caused by the chaotic light.

"I must admit, I have severely underestimated you."

Seeing Lin Hao’s smile, the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body didn’t grow angry. Instead, a rare trace of gravity appeared in its voice.

This was the Demon Venerable. It had been tempered by countless unknown ages, and mere taunts had no effect on it.

Lin Hao was still smiling, but inwardly, he was more vigilant than ever before.

The calmer the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body was, the more terrifying it became. When it finally attacked, it would be a thunderous strike—a single, fatal blow.

Meanwhile, within Lin Hao’s sea of consciousness, his physical body and Divine Soul were manifesting yin and yang.

The two sought to merge into one but were obstructed by the chaotic light. Dragon-serpent Divine Chains appeared, seeking to annihilate them both.

The Divine Chains were terrifyingly powerful, and the two entities were subjected to an unprecedented assault. Yet, their resilience was astounding.

The two moved through the bathing chaotic light, employing their martial domains in a violent clash, like two celestial dragons undergoing a great tribulation.

Neither Lin Hao’s physical body nor his True Self Divine Soul feared the divine might of the chaotic light; they both possessed heaven-defying prowess.

Lin Hao’s sea of consciousness transformed into a boundless void. His martial domain permeated this void, extending deeper and deeper into it as it bathed in the chaotic light.

Within Lin Hao’s sea of consciousness, the void was boundless and his martial domain met no obstruction. However, the chaotic light was terrifyingly vast and possessed endless, magnificent power, slowing the domain’s extension to a snail’s pace.

This was Lin Hao’s attempt to find a way to break through into the Yin-Yang Realm.

To dare do this while facing the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body, which could attack at any moment, was audacious to the extreme.

Across from him, the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body did not attack. It just stood there quietly, its body, pierced by the chaotic light, now almost fully recovered.

During this time, it was observing Lin Hao.

Lin Hao’s current state was quite peculiar. There was an indescribable aura within his body, as if the Great Dao was evolving and chaos was being recreated.

Even the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body could not see through this aura.

For this very reason, it did not attack immediately.

Because it discovered that it could even gain some insight from Lin Hao’s current state.

To gain something from a mere Sealed Martial Realm Martial Artist was something it had never imagined before, but now it was a reality.

"You are very strong, far surpassing your peers. But I still possess the power to suppress and kill you. I will ask you one last time: will you submit, or not?"

Even though it had just been left in a wretched state by Lin Hao’s chaotic light, the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body still spoke.

Lin Hao’s abilities were unlike anything it had seen before. The Demon Venerable, who was always decisive in killing, was reluctant to see him perish and was still making a final attempt, even though it knew the outcome would not change.

Lin Hao shook his head and softly uttered a single sentence, "You are not worthy."

The Demon Venerable’s Dao Body didn’t seem surprised by these words at all, but it still wouldn’t give up. "Then what would it take to be worthy?"

"I, Lin Hao, will never bow to another in my life. Even if a Great Emperor were resurrected, I would not be enslaved." Lin Hao’s voice was like a sword, his Sword Intent surging to the heavens, making the very void tremble.

The Demon Venerable’s Dao Body sighed. "Since it has come to this, I shall see you on your way."

As it spoke, the Dao Body vanished on the spot.

Although Lin Hao reacted at the same time, he was still a step too slow.

The next moment, Lin Hao’s body was pierced through.

BOOM!

But Lin Hao retaliated. A dragon-serpent Divine Chain smashed the attacking arm of the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body to pieces.

But the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body revealed a terrifying sight.

A third arm appeared in the void, chopping directly at Lin Hao’s head.

At the same time, a powerful domain force immobilized Lin Hao’s body.

Fast. It was too fast.

At such a close distance, the current Lin Hao had no way to dodge.

The threat of death was more palpable than ever before, far surpassing any previous moment.

At this moment, Lin Hao’s body tensed, and every cell within him became abnormally active.

Lin Hao mobilized every last shred of his power.

His Lifebound True Blood flared brightly, the Tai Chi Array Map spun, and finally, Lin Hao activated the Creation Jade Disc.

Lin Hao’s immobilized body moved. He used the Heaven-Stepping Step, his body directly tearing through the void.

A bloody line appeared on Lin Hao’s neck.

If he had been even half a breath slower, his head would have been separated from his body.

The attack was peerlessly dangerous; death had never been so close to Lin Hao.

Its first strike having failed, the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body shadowed him like a phantom and attacked again.

This time, it dominated the void, and countless phantoms of the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body materialized.

It had truly unleashed its killing intent, intending to suppress and kill Lin Hao in this boundless void.

Since such a youth could not be used by it, the best method was to destroy him.

But now, with Lin Hao using the Creation Jade Disc, the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body’s immobilizing power was completely ineffective. With a soft cry, Lin Hao also manifested his own Dao Bodies.

Countless Lin Haos appeared in the boundless void, directly confronting the Demon Venerable’s Dao Bodies.

Immediately, a great battle erupted.

Each of the Demon Venerable’s Dao Bodies possessed astonishing combat strength. But now, with Lin Hao using the Creation Jade Butterfly and wielding the power of creation, each Lin Hao was equally terrifying.

The void battlefield collapsed and shattered. The energy produced by their collision was like two planets crashing into each other—boundlessly terrifying.

For Lin Hao to fight the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body with the strength of a Sealed Martial Realm Peak expert—not only refusing to back down but even meeting it head-on—was an absolutely heaven-defying act.

The longer the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body fought, the more shocked and horrified it became.

The combat strength his opponent displayed completely surpassed the Sealed Martial Realm, yet he was, without a doubt, still within that realm.

Such combat power was something that even ancient fierce beasts, pure-blooded creatures, or primordial relics born with supreme inheritances could not achieve!

Moreover, the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body sensed a type of energy from Lin Hao’s body that made even its heart palpitate, although that energy was currently extremely, extremely minuscule and weak.

The aura of the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body became even more terrifying. Suddenly, a Taotie appeared, swallowing the heavens; a Qiongqi startled the skies; a Taowu roared in the void; and a Chaos Fierce Beast used runic symbols to imprison the firmament.

Phantoms of the four great ancient fierce beasts appeared in the void, each occupying a cardinal direction, poised to tear Lin Hao apart.

Although they were only phantoms, as soon as they appeared, Lin Hao felt an overwhelming pressure.

In just an instant, an unknown number of the Dao Bodies Lin Hao had manifested were blown to pieces.

Lin Hao’s true body began to crack.

He had not fully mastered the Creation Jade Disc. Using it now was not only extremely draining, but he also couldn’t bring forth its proper divine might.

As soon as the phantoms of the four fierce beasts appeared, Lin Hao was immediately suppressed.

The Demon Venerable’s Dao Body attacked again, a power capable of collapsing all of eternity erupting from its body...
