132: Sword Overwhelms the Prodigy, Ye Chen in a Dire Situation
"Warm-up's over."
Lin Hao's silver-white eyes swept over the two, his voice cold, "Show me your true abilities."
Ao Zhan roared, completely enraged. He no longer held back, manifesting his true form as a hundred-zhang Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. Dragon might surged, and golden Dragon Flame encircled his body!
He opened his mouth and spewed forth a Dragon Clan Divine Ability—"Sky-Burning Dragon's Breath"!
A golden torrent of Dragon Flame, hot enough to melt stars, surged towards Lin Hao!
Wang Teng's expression was solemn. He formed hand seals, and surging Void Realm power emanated from his body.
"Void Imprisonment!"
He attempted to bind Lin Hao's movements with the Law of Space.
At the same time, he conjured an ancient longsword, flowing with spatial ripples—a quasi-emperor weapon, a replica of the "Sky-Rending Sword"!
With a swing of his sword, invisible spatial blades silently slashed towards Lin Hao. Wherever they passed, subtle black lines appeared in space!
Facing Ao Zhan's Dragon's Breath and Wang Teng's spatial killing move, Lin Hao finally took the initiative to attack for the first time.
He pointed two fingers like a sword, drawing a circle in the air.
"Sword Domain, open."
In an instant, with him at the center, a thousand-zhang radius transformed into an absolute world of swords!
Countless materialized Sword Qi generated out of thin air, forming a sword storm!
Ao Zhan's Sky-Burning Dragon's Breath rushed into the Sword Domain, only to be sliced and disintegrated by billions of Sword Qi, ultimately annihilated!
Wang Teng's Void Imprisonment was shattered by the omnipresent, sharp Sword Intent the moment it entered the Sword Domain!
"Supreme Sword Domain?!"
Wang Teng exclaimed in shock.
This Sword Domain not only contained extreme offense but also carried an 'I Alone Am Supreme' will, repelling and suppressing even the Law of Space!
Lin Hao's figure moved. Within the Sword Domain, he was like a Dominator.
He took a step, evading the spatial slash from the Sky-Rending Sword replica, and instantly appeared before the Dragon Head of the Golden Dragon Ao Zhan had transformed into.
Clenching his right hand into a fist, the dark-gold sword patterns and the power of the silver-white Supreme Sword Bone merged, and he smashed his fist down fiercely!
"Supreme Fist!"
This punch contained the Supreme power of the Supreme Sword Body and the ultimate sharpness of the Supreme Sword Bone!
A trace of horror flashed in Ao Zhan's huge Dragon eyes. He fully activated his Dragon Origin, and golden light flared brightly on his Dragon Head, forming a thick defense.
Bang—!!!
The fist landed, and the golden light exploded!
Ao Zhan let out a painful Dragon roar. His massive Dragon body was smashed by the punch, plummeting from the sky and crashing heavily against the Sword Domain's barrier. Scales flew off his Dragon Head, and blood flowed profusely!
Before Wang Teng could react, Lin Hao's figure appeared beside him like a phantom.
Still pointing two fingers like a sword, he aimed a finger at Wang Teng's glabella.
This finger, seemingly slow, locked down all space around Wang Teng, leaving him nowhere to evade!
Wang Teng roared, activating his Void Dao Body to its limit. His figure became illusory, attempting to merge into deeper space to hide.
At the same time, the Sky-Rending Sword replica moved to defend, slashing towards Lin Hao's finger.
However, within the Supreme Sword Domain, all spatial changes were exposed.
Lin Hao's finger ignored the spatial obstruction, accurately stopping three inches before Wang Teng's glabella. The Sword Qi emanating from his fingertip caused Wang Teng's Divine Soul immense pain!
And the slashing Sky-Rending Sword replica was casually slapped away by Lin Hao's left hand, its sword body wailing as it was sent flying!
Wang Teng's figure froze, his face ashen.
He felt that if the Sword Qi at Lin Hao's fingertip advanced even a fraction, his head would be pierced, and his Divine Soul torn apart!
On the other side, Ao Zhan struggled to get up, but with a thought from Lin Hao, countless Sword Qi within the Sword Domain formed a cage, firmly suppressing him to the ground, unable to move. He could only let out an unwilling roar.
The victor was decided!
Lin Hao, fighting two against one, relying on the newly revealed Supreme Sword Body and Supreme Sword Bone, as well as the incomparably powerful Supreme Sword Domain, heavily injured Ao Zhan, the Dragon Son of the True Dragon Clan, and overpowered Wang Teng, the Void Dao Body of the Longevity Wang Family!
He dispersed the Sword Domain, his aura receding, returning to his appearance as the young man in green. However, his face was slightly pale, clearly indicating that simultaneously using two great Supreme Foundations consumed a huge amount of energy... "Presumptuous!"
A furious roar erupted from the viewing platform, from the True Dragon Clan's seats. A Great Saint Realm Elder of the Dragon Clan suddenly stood up, his Dragon might overwhelming, directed straight at Lin Hao! "Junior!
How dare you strike so heavily!"
At the same time, from the Wang Family's direction, an Elder, also in the Great Saint Realm, had a grim expression, and the space around him twisted: "Lin Hao, you went too far."
The pressure from two Great Saints descended simultaneously, causing Lin Hao, who had just experienced a fierce battle, to let out a muffled groan, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Hmph!"
Just then, a cold snort, like thunder from the Nine Heavens, exploded above the square.
The Heavenly Sword Holy Lord rose to his full height, and an even more vast and sharper Sword Intent soared into the sky, like a drawn Heavenly Sword, instantly shattering the two Dragon mights and spatial pressures!
"Ao Cang, Elder Wang!"
The Holy Lord's gaze was like lightning, sweeping over the two Great Saints, "Juniors spar, victory and defeat depend on their own abilities.
As Elders, do you intend to interfere, thinking my Heavenly Sword Holy Land has no one?"
As the Holy Lord's words fell, on the high platform, several other Sword Dao auras, also at the Great Saint Realm or even stronger, erupted simultaneously, locking onto the True Dragon Clan and Wang Family's directions.
The entire Heavenly Sword Holy Land's Sect-Protecting Grand Array was also activated, and majestic sword might enveloped the surroundings.
The Dragon Clan Great Saint and the Wang Family Great Saint's expressions changed. Feeling the Heavenly Sword Holy Land's undisguised strong stance, they knew they would gain nothing today.
They stared intently at Lin Hao, whose lips were stained with blood but whose eyes remained calm, then looked at the suppressed Ao Zhan and the pale-faced Wang Teng. Ultimately, they could only forcibly suppress their anger.
"Good! A fine Heavenly Sword Holy Land! A fine Lin Hao! This matter, my Dragon Clan has noted!"
The Dragon Clan Great Saint, Ao Cang, uttered a threat, waved his large hand, swept up the heavily injured Ao Zhan, tore through the Void Realm, and departed.
The Wang Family Elder also took a deep look at Lin Hao, then, taking the dispirited Wang Teng, merged into the Void Realm and disappeared.
Only then did the Holy Lord retract his aura, looking at Lin Hao with undisguised admiration and a trace of solemnity: "Lin Hao, go back and heal your injuries first. After today, your name shall resound throughout the Nine Heavens."
Lin Hao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, bowed to the Holy Lord and the Elders, then, under the gaze of countless complex eyes, calmly turned and walked towards Saint Son Peak... Ye Chen spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. His bare upper body was covered in crisscrossing scars, some deep enough to reveal bone, but under the powerful Qi and blood of the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, they were slowly healing at a visible rate.
He hid in a huge sea trench fissure created by a fallen meteorite, concealing all his aura, like a hibernating Vicious Beast.
Outside, terrifying Divine Thought swept over the sea surface and seabed again and again like a comb, carrying undisguised killing intent.
"Little bastard! Get out! You dared to swallow my Murong Family's 'Crimson Blood Dragon Phoenix Ginseng,' which we guarded for three thousand years. No one in heaven or on earth can save you!"
An old yet furious voice echoed above the sea, belonging to the Murong Family's Third Elder, a Mid-Saint Realm expert!
Ye Chen licked his dry lips, his eyes devoid of fear, only wolf-like ferocity and a hint of excitement.
The energy contained in that half-divine medicine was too immense, almost bursting his body, but it also allowed him to break through the Xiaoyao Realm barrier in one fell swoop, reaching the half-step Saint Realm. His Ancient Desolate Sacred Body was further refined, and his Qi and blood furnace became even more solid.
He had accidentally discovered the nearly mature Crimson Blood Dragon Phoenix Ginseng while exploring an ancient underwater ruin, guarded by powerful Restrictions.
He exhausted his efforts to break the Restrictions, and just as he obtained it, he was discovered by Murong Family Cultivators who happened to come to check.
In a fierce battle, relying on his newly Breakthrough power and formidable Sacred Body, he killed several Murong Family Nirvana Realm and Samsara Realm disciples, but was chased all the way here by the Third Elder, who arrived upon hearing the news.
Mid-Saint Realm, the gap was too large.
If not for his Ancient Desolate Sacred Body's astonishing defense, long-lasting Qi and blood, and his use of the complex and harsh environment of the Meteorite Sea to maneuver, he would have been captured and killed long ago.
Even so, he was already at the end of his rope, having sustained serious internal injuries.
"I must find a way to get rid of this old dog..."
Ye Chen's mind raced, thinking of an escape plan.
The depths of the Meteorite Sea might hold dangerous places he could use, but it would also be a near-certain death.
Just then, a simple jade talisman he wore, used to receive external information, vibrated slightly. A piece of news that had recently caused a sensation in the Primal Ancient Realm was transmitted—[Heavenly Sword Holy Land officially appointed Lin Hao as the Third Saint, possessing the Supreme Sword Body and Supreme Sword Bone. At the enthronement ceremony, he defeated the True Dragon Clan's Dragon Son and the Wang Family's Void Dao Body, making his name known throughout the Nine Heavens!]
Ye Chen clenched the jade talisman tightly, his eyes bursting with brilliant light!
"Lin Hao... you kid... Supreme Sword Body? Supreme Sword Bone?!"
He was first shocked, then a fire burned in his chest, "Good! Very good! I knew you weren't simple! But I'm not bad either!"
His previously somewhat tired spirit instantly became invigorated.
Lin Hao's achievements were like a clap of thunder, dispelling the gloom of his days of fleeing, and further igniting the arrogance in his bones.
As one of the Seven Saints of the Lin Family, how could Ye Chen fall behind?
"That old dog of the Murong Family..."
Ye Chen looked outside the fissure, his eyes becoming sharp and wild, "Want to kill me?
Then I'll use you to temper my Sacred Body and help me fully step into the Saint Realm!"
He no longer simply evaded but began to actively circulate his Cultivation Technique, absorbing the violent stellar Origin Energy and chaotic Qi and blood in the Meteorite Sea, accelerating the refinement of the remaining half-divine medicine's power within his body.
