At this moment, Grand Emperor Kan Long’s body was like a meteor striking the void. Yet, he conjured a colossal hand that traversed the endless void and appeared in the Dragon Transformation Ancient Realm, high above the Kan Long Dragon King’s Court.
This hand blotted out the sky, so vast it was beyond imagination. The entire Kan Long Dragon King’s Court was covered by its shadow.
Below, a tremendous amount of energy was being intercepted by this colossal hand.
This was the very foundation of the Kan Long Dragon King’s Court.
Furthermore, the essence, qi, and spirit of all the Martial Artists in the Kan Long Dragon King’s Court, including the will of the court itself, were all being claimed by the giant hand.
Grand Emperor Kan Long was mobilizing the power of the entire Kan Long Dragon King’s Court just to suppress and kill Lin Hao.
However, Lin Hao’s Divine Sense and Spiritual Sense were currently unparalleled. The moment Grand Emperor Kan Long made his move, Lin Hao knew his purpose.
Lin Hao struck at Grand Emperor Kan Long’s body with one palm, while his other hand formed a claw and shot through the void at a terrifying speed, aiming to sever the Grand Emperor’s hand.
Lin Hao didn’t care about the fate of the Kan Long Dragon King’s Court, but he could not stand by and watch while Grand Emperor Kan Long intended to take innocent lives.
Lin Hao’s move drew a cold sneer from Grand Emperor Kan Long. The colossal hand that had reached into the Dragon Transformation Ancient Realm abruptly pulled back, then smashed toward Lin Hao’s own hand in the void.
BOOM!
A massive mushroom cloud erupted in the void, and Lin Hao’s body was violently sent flying.
The energy Grand Emperor Kan Long had just intercepted fused with his own domain, creating a terrifying power. Lin Hao’s domain could not withstand this force and collapsed instantly.
Grand Emperor Kan Long lived up to his reputation as a thousand-year-old monster. His experience was immense; he seemed to have anticipated Lin Hao’s every move. Just as Lin Hao was sent flying, the Grand Emperor’s other hand struck out.
Although he struck second, his hand arrived first. It was as if it had been waiting there all along, and Lin Hao’s body had simply crashed into it.
This strike caused cracks to appear all over Lin Hao’s body.
A single strike from a Yin-Yang Realm Martial Artist could easily tear the void. That Lin Hao’s body merely cracked was already the best possible outcome.
If it had been anyone else, even a cultivator at the Third Layer of Yin Yang Realm, they would have been reduced to ashes.
Lin Hao was incredibly formidable. Even with his body cracking, his will to fight surged.
Just as Grand Emperor Kan Long’s attack connected, a vortex capable of devouring all creation appeared above Lin Hao.
This was the true Original Secret Skill of the Sun-Devouring Emperor Body.
When wielded by Lin Hao, it was countless times more powerful than when the Kan Long Crown Prince used it.
In an instant, Lin Hao’s cracked body completely healed.
Grand Emperor Kan Long was about to strike again but abruptly pulled back.
The vortex contained an energy that made even his heart palpitate with fear. If he got too close, the consequences would be unthinkable.
But then, he found he had no room left to retreat.
The vortex devoured everything, and it was constantly expanding.
The vortex expanded to match the size of Lin Hao’s martial domain.
Once the vortex appeared, no plane or pocket dimension in the void could escape. Smaller ones were devoured instantly, while larger ones shattered before being consumed. None could escape this fate.
Grand Emperor Kan Long retreated with explosive speed.
The Harmony Dominator Body wielding the Sun-Devouring Secret Skill was simply unstoppable. He felt utterly powerless.
Once inside that vortex, he would be reduced to ashes!
But he was still a step too slow.
The sun-devouring vortex swept through the void in an instant, consuming countless pocket dimensions. The terrifying power caused Grand Emperor Kan Long to falter.
He was being affected by the devouring energy.
Grand Emperor Kan Long struck again, his hand piercing through the void to once more envelop the entire Kan Long Dragon King’s Court.
However, before he could draw upon the power of his court, the immense energy of the vortex swallowed his body.
"No!"
Grand Emperor Kan Long let out a furious roar.
It was an unwilling roar on the verge of death as he erupted with unprecedented power.
The vortex started to collapse. A violent tremor ran through Lin Hao’s mind, and blood streamed from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. He nearly plummeted from the void.
One of Grand Emperor Kan Long’s colossal hands ripped through the vortex, and it looked as though he was about to escape.
But even as blood poured from his face, Lin Hao quickly stabilized himself, and the vortex snapped shut.
SPLAT!
Except for one arm that escaped into the endless void, Grand Emperor Kan Long’s entire body was devoured.
A Grand Emperor of his generation had fallen.
About half an hour later, the void where Lin Hao was had returned to calm.
Having devoured the Grand Emperor, Lin Hao was once again brimming with vitality.
And at this moment, Lin Hao had already advanced to the Second Layer of Yin Yang Realm!
He exhaled, and with a wave of his hand, an astonishing scene unfolded.
The pocket dimensions destroyed during his battle with Grand Emperor Kan Long were now significantly restored.
Lin Hao had used his martial domain to contain and then restore these pocket dimensions!
Such abilities were practically godlike.
Yet, Lin Hao let out a soft sigh.
The pocket dimensions held not just energy, but also living beings. His inability to completely restore the space meant many innocent creatures had died because of him, which left a bitter feeling in his heart.
’In the end, my cultivation is still insufficient. Only by continuously advancing can I achieve my goals.’ Lin Hao quickly adjusted his mindset, thinking to himself.
Then, with a flicker of his body, Lin Hao appeared inside the Dragon Transformation Ancient Realm.
Standing outside the Kan Long Dragon King’s Court, Lin Hao looked at the crumbling structures and shook his head. With a casual wave of his sleeve, endless streams of runes surged forth.
The experts of the Kan Long Dragon King’s Court were all dead, and its very fortune had been drained by Grand Emperor Kan Long. If another major battle were to break out nearby, the court would surely turn to dust. Lin Hao was acting to preserve it.
Having done this, Lin Hao picked a direction and prepared to depart.
WHOOSH!
Xiu Xiu, who had not appeared for a long time, emerged from the void and landed squarely on Lin Hao’s shoulder.
This time, it showed no reluctance at all. It even wore a look of blissful intoxication.
This was definitely not due to the allure of Lin Hao’s blood.
After Lin Hao’s cultivation reached the Yin-Yang Realm, his aura had changed. Now, even without drinking his blood, Xiu Xiu could gain unimaginable benefits just by being near him.
Without pausing, Lin Hao’s figure instantly vanished from the area.
After reaching the Yin-Yang Realm, Lin Hao’s speed had increased severalfold.
However, now that he was deep inside the Dragon Transformation Ancient Realm, Lin Hao remained highly vigilant.
As a result, his pace actually slowed.
Even so, he still covered over a thousand li in two hours.
Before his eyes, the land gradually came back to life.
Majestic mountains stretched into the distance, and ancient trees tens of thousands of years old towered into the sky. He could feel a Primordial Aura emanating from the landscape.
Lin Hao became more vigilant and slowed his pace.
But his caution proved to be unnecessary. After traveling for a full six hours and crossing another thousand li, Lin Hao still hadn’t encountered any danger.
Although he could sense the auras of various beasts, in his eyes, they no longer posed any threat.
In fact, some ancient direbeasts sensed Lin Hao’s aura and actively went into hiding, like mice that had spotted a cat.
However, Lin Hao was puzzled.
This was the heart of the Dragon Transformation Ancient Realm. Never mind ancient direbeasts; there should even be pure-blooded beasts and possibly even Primordial Relics. Yet, aside from a single, exceptionally perceptive ancient direbeast, he had not encountered any. Something wasn’t right.
Before long, his confusion was resolved.
Something that should not exist in the Dragon Transformation Ancient Realm appeared in his line of sight.
