Grand Emperor Kan Long had come out of seclusion.
Having reached the Yin-Yang Realm, his Divine Sense and Spiritual Sense were stronger than ever, allowing him to perceive everything in an instant.
The Kan Long Crown Prince was dead, and the Royal Court’s will had been damaged. Grand Emperor Kan Long’s eyes looked ready to split as he teetered on the verge of madness.
A great roar shattered the void. The entire region, excluding the Kan Long Royal Court, once again suffered a great catastrophe.
The fury of a Yin-Yang Realm expert was like the wrath of the heavens.
Lin Hao bore the brunt of the attack. His body was struck by a powerful force that tore open space, sending him tumbling into the void.
’This level of power is definitely not something an early-stage Yin-Yang Realm cultivator can achieve!’
The thought flashed through Lin Hao’s mind.
Thanks to Chu Tiandu, Lin Hao was very familiar with the power of the Yin-Yang Realm.
The power Grand Emperor Kan Long was displaying now surpassed the First, Second, and Third Layers of the Yin-Yang Realm. He had definitely reached the Yin-Yang Realm Fourth Layer.
Even the Demon Venerable’s Dao Body had not surpassed the Third Layer of Yin Yang Realm. A Martial Artist at the Yin Yang Realm Fourth Layer possessed the ability to instantly kill anyone in the Sealed Martial Realm.
’This will be a formidable enemy!’
Although Lin Hao could be considered invincible within the Sealed Martial Realm, the gap between him and someone at the Yin Yang Realm Fourth Layer was far too great.
Just as Lin Hao’s body broke through into the void, a terrifying energy surged forth and completely restrained him.
Faced with this power, Lin Hao felt a sense of powerlessness, unable to resist.
The Yin-Yang Realm has nine layers. The first three are the initial stage, while the fourth layer marks the beginning of the mid-stage. The two stages couldn’t be compared.
Fortunately, Lin Hao had Chu Tiandu’s memories and was incredibly experienced. He had already prepared himself the moment he heard that roar.
The restrained Lin Hao didn’t move. It seemed as if he had given up resisting, because resistance was simply futile.
But just as Grand Emperor Kan Long’s figure appeared in the spatial rift, a terrifying energy erupted from within Lin Hao’s body.
Immediately, he used the Heaven-Stepping Step and vanished from his spot.
A spatial rift exerts a suppressive force on a Martial Artist. For the brief moment one passes through it, their cultivation level drops. Lin Hao had timed his move with perfect precision.
Hmph!
As Lin Hao’s body vanished, Grand Emperor Kan Long merely let out a cold snort.
A terrifying scene unfolded.
The void continuously collapsed, and an unknown number of dimensional spaces were pierced through.
Lin Hao’s body reappeared in the distance, pausing for a brief moment.
By now, Lin Hao had already used the Heaven-Stepping Step several times and was an unknown distance away from Grand Emperor Kan Long, yet he was still affected. It was a testament to the Emperor’s terrifying power.
The power of a Mid-stage Yin Yang Realm Martial Artist’s martial domain was beyond imagination.
Grand Emperor Kan Long extended a massive hand, as if he were creating a world.
He reached for Lin Hao.
But the moment he attacked, Lin Hao’s body twisted like a dragon or a serpent, escaping once more.
"Immobilize!"
Grand Emperor Kan Long uttered a single word, and Lin Hao, who had vanished into the void, reappeared.
Lin Hao’s body slammed into an invisible wall and was sent reeling back.
But in a flash, Lin Hao vanished again.
Lin Hao pushed the Heaven-Stepping Step to its absolute limit, his figure becoming as ephemeral as a phantom.
Grand Emperor Kan Long spoke again. This time, however, a loud BANG echoed from beyond the endless space. Lin Hao shattered the confinement with a single punch and dove into the void.
A flash of lightning flickered in Grand Emperor Kan Long’s eyes. He took a single step, crossing through countless spaces.
A Yin-Yang Realm expert controlled a boundless domain. Even with the Heaven-Stepping Step, Lin Hao was still a step away from escaping his grasp.
However, catching Lin Hao would be incredibly difficult for him.
Lin Hao’s Divine Sense and Spiritual Sense were exceptionally strong. More importantly, his combat experience was even richer than Grand Emperor Kan Long’s.
For a time, Grand Emperor Kan Long was actually unable to do anything to Lin Hao.
And what Lin Hao was doing now was enough to drive Grand Emperor Kan Long mad.
He sensed another powerful martial domain’s energy—one that Lin Hao was currently manifesting.
"You dare to try and break through the Sealed Martial Realm while under my attack? You’re courting death!"
Even though Grand Emperor Kan Long had lived for over two thousand years, he was still infuriated by Lin Hao’s actions.
As he spoke, Grand Emperor Kan Long suddenly struck, drawing energy from an unknown number of dimensional spaces in the void to assail Lin Hao.
A Yin-Yang Realm expert drawing upon the energy of the void was no less impressive than wielding a Spiritual Artifact.
The energy pierced through the void at an unimaginable speed, one that even Lin Hao could not evade.
In a split second, Lin Hao’s body was hit.
But Lin Hao’s physical body was incredibly tough; the energy failed to pierce through him.
While coughing up mouthfuls of blood, Lin Hao broke free from the control of Grand Emperor Kan Long’s martial domain.
Lin Hao’s Heaven-Stepping Step was unparalleled. He had already left Grand Emperor Kan Long helpless while still inside his martial domain’s confinement. Now that he had escaped, it was like a dragon returning to the sea.
In just an instant, Grand Emperor Kan Long could no longer sense Lin Hao’s aura.
Lin Hao had vanished without a trace in the vast void.
"Dammit!"
Grand Emperor Kan Long was furious. He suddenly realized, as if waking from a dream, that Lin Hao had used him.
"Lin Hao, even if I have to scour the Nine Netherworld, I will tear you limb from limb!"
Grand Emperor Kan Long’s voice echoed through the endless void.
Immediately, he began frantically crossing through the void, searching for any trace of Lin Hao.
But at that very moment, Lin Hao tore open the void and appeared right outside the Kan Long Royal Court.
Then, his figure moving like lightning, he circled the Royal Court.
As he moved, Lin Hao continuously formed hand seals, and one after another, talismans vanished into the void.
Afterward, Lin Hao entered the Kan Long Royal Court directly.
His terrifying Divine Sense and Spiritual Sense even located the very place where Grand Emperor Kan Long had been in seclusion.
With no experts left to guard it, the Kan Long Royal Court was defenseless. Lin Hao entered as if it were deserted.
Audacious beyond belief, Lin Hao began to pursue the Martial Dao right there in the Emperor’s seclusion chamber, attempting to merge his form and spirit to step into the Yin-Yang Realm.
Grand Emperor Kan Long, flying around the Boundless void like a headless chicken, would never have imagined that Lin Hao had already reached his lair.
In the seclusion chamber, Lin Hao was completely relaxed, about to enter a state of meditation.
He had just laid down talismans outside the Kan Long Royal Court. He would immediately detect Grand Emperor Kan Long’s return, so he had nothing to fear.
After just a moment, Lin Hao entered a meditative state and began to merge his form and spirit within his sea of consciousness.
The universe resides within the heart. As vast as the heart, so too is the sky. Lin Hao’s ambition was higher than the heavens, and his sea of consciousness was just as boundless.
Within his sea of consciousness, Lin Hao’s form and spirit separated, repeatedly colliding and merging as he manifested the Yin-Yang Realm.
His physical body, as yang, manifested a scorching sun. His Divine Soul, as yin, formed a bright moon. As Lin Hao manifested the Yin-Yang Realm, all sorts of phenomena appeared in his sea of consciousness.
Finally, his body and Divine Soul evolved into two Yin-Yang Fish, each biting the other’s tail, forming a Tai Chi.
Lin Hao was only a single step away from the Yin-Yang Realm.
Lin Hao had manifested this step before, but at that time, he lacked a crucial source of energy, and the Tai Chi Array Map state didn’t last long.
But this time was different.
Just as the Tai Chi Array Map became one, that single drop of Lifebound True Blood from the Creation Jade Butterfly appeared in Lin Hao’s sea of consciousness.
This drop of Lifebound True Blood was unlike any he had seen before. It seemed to be devouring all things, yet at the same time, it was releasing a vast, surging life force.
Lin Hao’s Lifebound True Blood was in harmony with the Dao of Yin and Yang.
