Chapter 790 - 786: Devouring the Imperial Physique

Chapter 790: Chapter 786: Devouring the Imperial Physique

A moment later, a great hand reached out from the Kan Long Royal Court and appeared above the Sun-Devouring Vortex.

This great hand was also manifesting runes.

These runes were cyan and emanated a terrifying aura.

Not only had the Kan Long Crown Prince made a move himself, but he had also secretly colluded with the Grand Emperor.

The allure of the Harmony Dominator Body was too great; the Kan Long Crown Prince could not afford to fail.

Even after stepping into the Yin-Yang Realm, the Kan Long Crown Prince was still not fully confident of victory against Lin Hao.

At this moment, the pride of a Martial Artist seemed trivial.

As long as he obtained Lin Hao’s bloodline and constitution, nothing else mattered.

Winners are kings, losers are outlaws. Only the victorious get to write history.

"Lin Hao, I refuse to believe you can still escape this!"

With the Grand Emperor taking action, the Kan Long Crown Prince’s confidence came flooding back.

It was extremely difficult to break through from the Sealed Martial Realm to the Yin-Yang Realm, but he had done it.

Not only had he entered the Yin-Yang Realm, but he also had the Grand Emperor—another Yin-Yang Realm expert—taking action on his behalf. If Lin Hao could still escape, it would be a miracle that defied the heavens.

’But that’s impossible!’

The Kan Long Crown Prince frantically channeled his Lifebound True Blood and Original Secret Skill. The Sun-Devouring Vortex began to spin at an unimaginable speed.

At the entrance, countless cyan runes intertwined before sinking inside.

At this moment, inside the Sun-Devouring Vortex, Lin Hao’s body spun. A corrosive power filled the surrounding space, trying to decay and disintegrate his body.

Meanwhile, the runes above formed Divine Chains that sought to pierce through Lin Hao’s body.

The Sun-Devouring Vortex was like an infinite black hole. Lin Hao’s body spun and sank without end, as if being pulled into its deepest recesses.

The pressure grew increasingly terrifying, eventually surpassing the limits of what Lin Hao’s body could endure.

Lin Hao’s body fissured.

But whenever his body was on the verge of shattering completely, a surge of power would burst forth from within, restoring him in an instant.

This wasn’t the Creation Jade Butterfly awakening, but rather Lin Hao consciously controlling it to generate energy.

Lin Hao released his Divine Sense, letting it permeate the entire space. He was probing the Original Secret Skill of the Sun-Devouring Emperor Body.

Lin Hao had once emulated this skill during his great battle with the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body. Back then, however, he had only captured its form, not its essence, which was why the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body had successfully counterattacked. This time, Lin Hao intended to master the Secret Skill completely.

It all sounds like it took a long time, but Lin Hao’s body reached the depths of the Sun-Devouring Vortex in a mere instant.

This place was vast, filled with an indescribable decaying aura.

After reaching this place, the runes from above mutated; encountering this aura made their power even greater.

Lin Hao sensed a boundless suction, trying to devour the very blood and vitality from his body.

Just then, the rapid spinning of Lin Hao’s body began to slow.

Simultaneously, Lin Hao’s Dantian blazed with light. His Lifebound True Blood stirred, the Tai Chi Array Map moved, and the meridians connected to the Creation Jade Butterfly activated.

The divine might of the Harmony Dominator Body permeated this entire space, blocking the decaying aura and preventing the Rune Power from drawing near.

But a moment later, those two forces intensified and broke through the divine might of the Harmony Dominator Body.

Lin Hao was, after all, only at the Sealed Martial Realm. Trapped within another’s Secret Skill, he couldn’t resist the pressure of his opponent.

But that had been enough.

In that single instant, Lin Hao had settled into a cross-legged position. Then, he suddenly raised his head.

A beam of peerless divine light shot out from his eyes.

This divine light was terrifyingly powerful. The force of decay could not stop it, nor could the endless runes above. It soared into the sky, piercing straight through the Sun-Devouring Vortex.

Outside, the hands of both the Kan Long Crown Prince and the Grand Emperor Kan Long were pierced through.

The peerless divine light surged into the void, instantly setting the very sky to turmoil.

A new vortex appeared in the void, and the primal energy of the world began to pour back madly into the Sun-Devouring Vortex.

The Kan Long Crown Prince’s face fell, and he flew into a rage. "How utterly humiliating!"

He had used his Original Secret Skill to seal Lin Hao in the deepest depths and sever all his connections to the outside world. Yet Lin Hao had pierced through the vortex and was now drawing the world’s primal energy into it. For the Crown Prince, this was the ultimate humiliation.

The Kan Long Crown Prince roared, his body thrumming with power as he used his other hand to seal the vortex’s opening.

Meanwhile, the vortex began to shrink on its own.

Grand Emperor Kan Long’s hand was otherwise unaffected, and the pierced wound was already healing.

A moment later, the vortex’s entrance was completely sealed, shrouded in endless runes.

The Kan Long Crown Prince sat cross-legged in the void, his hands pressed against the entrance. A clangorous sound came from his Dantian, as if a celestial hammer were striking divine iron.

He was using his Original Secret Skill, intending to begin the Refining of Lin Hao.

"Kan, I have reached a critical moment and can no longer assist you. But this wisp of power can support you until I emerge from my seclusion." The Grand Emperor’s form materialized in the void as he stared at the Kan Long Crown Prince and muttered to himself.

With that, the Grand Emperor vanished, and his great hand disappeared along with him.

The Grand Emperor had only used a sliver of power, but it was incredibly pure. For the Kan Long Crown Prince, however, the psychological effect was even more significant.

At this moment, the Kan Long Crown Prince was pouring all his energy into his Original Secret Skill. Having entered a state of pure focus, he was completely unaware that the Grand Emperor had departed.

Of course, with Lin Hao’s only connection to the void now severed, it wouldn’t have made the slightest difference even if he had known.

In the Kan Long Crown Prince’s eyes, Lin Hao had absolutely no chance of turning the tables.

For Lin Hao’s condition was now being projected with perfect clarity into the Kan Long Crown Prince’s mind.

Although Lin Hao was seated cross-legged, resisting the devouring power, his efforts were utterly useless.

In the Kan Long Crown Prince’s mind, Lin Hao’s vitality, blood, and True Essence were all being drained away.

Lin Hao’s body was withering at a rate visible to the naked eye, while the Kan Long Crown Prince received a boundless influx of power, causing his own Cultivation Realm to skyrocket.

To an Emperor Body, the vitality, blood, and True Essence of a Harmony Dominator Body were an unparalleled tonic.

As one’s power waned and the other’s waxed, the Kan Long Crown Prince could almost see victory beckoning to him.

’Once I devour Lin Hao, I’ll become the greatest figure in history! I’ll dominate the nine heavens and ten earths, revered for all eternity!’

An unconscious smile crept onto the Kan Long Crown Prince’s lips.

And yet, inside the Devouring Space, Lin Hao showed no sign of panic. His eyes were shut tight, his intentions unclear.

Suddenly, Lin Hao’s eyes snapped open, a flicker of excitement within them.

The next moment, Lin Hao’s withered body abruptly swelled back to its full size.

What the Kan Long Crown Prince had just absorbed was merely True Essence, crudely refined from the primal energy Lin Hao had drawn in from the void. His far purer Chaos True Essence had not been lost at all; it had been stored within the Creation Jade Butterfly.

Not only had Lin Hao suffered no losses, but he had also unraveled all the secrets of the Sun-Devouring Emperor Body.

The time for his counterattack had come.

At this very moment, Lin Hao’s body had become a terrifying existence. Though still under the influence of the Kan Long Crown Prince’s Original Secret Skill, a power capable of devouring all creation now flowed within him.

The Kan Long Crown Prince’s body began to wither at an alarming rate.

"No!"

As the wielder of the Sun-Devouring Emperor Body, he naturally recognized this power. It was countless times more terrifying than the one he could manifest. He was utterly powerless against it and could only scream in terror.

The threat of death loomed over him.

"Grand Emperor, save me!" he screamed toward the Kan Long Royal Court.

From the direction of the Kan Long Royal Court, several terrifying auras erupted at once.
