Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

Amid the swirling smoke, Chi Feng’s eyes glinted, clearly seeing Lin Hao’s every move.

Seeing Lin Hao’s movements, Chi Feng sneered.

’How could Lin Hao possibly withstand this Mountain-moving Seal?!’

’After my master comprehended the Mountain-moving Seal, he casually waved his hand and pulverized a great mountain!’

’Although I don’t have Lin Wu’s level of cultivation, I practice a Half-Saint Level Cultivation Technique.’

’With a Half-Saint Level Cultivation Technique combined with the supreme martial art, the Mountain-moving Seal, I can even suppress and kill a Barbaric War Body at the Peak of the Elemental Realm!’

’Lin Hao is only at the Seventh Layer of the Elemental Realm, and a Spirit Body at that. Even if he has mastered an imperial art, he will be suppressed and killed.’

To Chi Feng, Lin Hao’s current actions were a death wish.

The Mountain-moving Seal descended upon Lin Hao with the pressure to collapse the heavens, while Lin Hao raised his fist and punched toward the sky.

A single fist suddenly multiplied into thousands, as Lin Hao once again used the Thousand Hands Phantom Fist.

Chi Feng’s sneer deepened.

’The Thousand Hands Phantom Fist might be powerful, a top-tier Profound-level Top Grade martial art, but it’s nothing before the Mountain-moving Seal.’

However, the cold sneer on Chi Feng’s face immediately froze.

The Thousand Hands Phantom Fist that Lin Hao had manifested suddenly changed form.

The straightforward, linear fists all began to curve, like small dragons.

HUM!

In that moment, it was as if Chi Feng could hear the roar of a dragon.

The power of this Thousand Hands Phantom Fist had suddenly at least doubled!

Chi Feng’s eyes widened abruptly.

’Evolving a fist technique into the form of a dragon... what kind of fist is this?!’

RUMBLE!

Before he could think further, Lin Hao’s fists had already crashed into the Mountain-moving Seal.

AHHHHHH!

On the periphery, the onlookers suddenly covered their ears and cried out in pain.

The sound of their collision was simply deafening.

The Mountain-moving Seal was obliterated, and even the clouds in the sky seemed to have been shaken apart.

No, those weren’t clouds, but the air currents that perpetually shrouded the Trial Forest.

Under the immense impact, those air currents were dissipating.

While the air currents in the sky were dispersed, the Trial Forest below was filled with dust kicked up by flying sand and stones, plunging the area where Lin Hao and the others stood into pitch-black darkness.

"No! Impossible! In the Elemental Realm, the Mountain-moving Seal is invincible!" Chi Feng’s frantic and incredulous voice echoed from within the area.

One could guess his expression at this moment—eyes wide, as if he had encountered a god or demon.

"Hmph! Just because you comprehended one martial art, you dare to call it invincible!" Lin Hao’s cold snort followed.

"My master comprehended this! He swept aside all those at the same level, reigning supreme in both the Blood Coagulation Realm and the Elemental Realm. The martial art he comprehended is naturally invincible! How dare a piece of trash like you, who only knows how to steal techniques, have the face to refute it!" Chi Feng argued vehemently.

Lin Wu’s prestige could not be tarnished.

Lin Hao didn’t speak, but a clear, cold female voice spoke up, "You truly are blind. How could a Profound Level martial art be stolen? He is also comprehending martial arts. Not only that, but his current fist technique is a new evolution based on the Thousand Hands Phantom Fist, surpassing the original."

"Who’s there!" Chi Feng’s face was savage as he roared.

’For someone to dare oppose me now... they must be courting death!’

"The fourth area will close in half an hour. You’d best be on your way," the female voice said, not answering Chi Feng, but stating this instead.

Chi Feng froze for a moment, then his eyes suddenly turned crimson.

’Once the Yujin Saint Institute’s Trial Forest closes, it will only reopen for the next assessment. If I don’t get out now, there won’t be another chance.’

’Within half an hour, I must kill Lin Hao!’

"Lin Jue, are you a fucking waste of space?! Let’s kill him!" Chi Feng’s explosive roar echoed throughout the area.

「Meanwhile, at the exit of the fourth area, Wenren Yuxin stood with her robes fluttering, gazing toward the smoke-shrouded region deep within the Trial Forest.」

The words from just now had naturally come from her.

The trials in the other three areas had already ended.

The pass rate among them was only twenty percent.

They weren’t supposed to end so quickly, but the terrifying pressure from the fourth area had startled the Devil Beasts in the other three areas, causing them to go on a rampage.

Examinees were either dead or injured.

And most of the Martial Artists who had gathered twenty Tokens were also wounded.

The rampaging Devil Beasts made them too afraid to venture deeper, so they could only come out and turn in their Tokens.

And the Yujin Saint Institute had a rule: after the trials in the other three areas concluded, the trial in the final area would also end half an hour later.

As the trial supervisor, Wenren Yuxin had the responsibility and duty to inform the examinees within.

In fact, Wenren Yuxin had been there for a while and had naturally witnessed the astonishing collision just now.

She was originally only responsible for relaying the message, but for some reason, hearing Chi Feng’s frenzied roars annoyed her, which prompted her to say what she did.

Hearing her words, even Lin Hao was taken aback.

Wenren Yuxin’s insight surpassed Lin Hao’s imagination.

In truth, just as Wenren Yuxin had said, Lin Hao was also comprehending martial arts.

He had fused the Thousand Hands Phantom Fist with the Dragon-Form Overlord Fist.

And it wasn’t a simple fusion of their forms.

Lin Hao had long since grasped the true intent of the Dragon-Form Overlord Fist’s technique. This fusion was a fusion of martial intent—an invincible martial intent!

The Mountain-moving Seal was indeed powerful, but when wielded by Chi Feng, its martial intent was lacking.

This was the fundamental reason he was no match.

But Chi Feng refused to accept it.

Hearing that the Trial Forest would close in half an hour, he channeled his Cultivation Technique with all his might and unleashed the Mountain-moving Seal once more.

At the same time, Lin Jue also made his move.

Lin Hao’s strength was beyond his imagination. This time, he held nothing back and directly activated his Bloodline Power.

When a Barbaric War Body uses its Bloodline Power, its combat strength more than doubles.

Simultaneously, Lin Jue swiped out with his right arm, and his right hand actually transformed into an incomparably huge claw.

The claw tore through the air, and muffled rumbles echoed endlessly in the sky.

Powerful gales shot out in all directions, sending rubble flying through the air like a crashing tide.

"Hahaha, what a Golden Roc Divine Claw!" Chi Feng laughed loudly.

He had followed Lin Wu and had seen him use this martial art before.

It was a martial art developed by a powerful martial artist who observed a Golden-Winged Great Peng hunting its prey. A Profound-level Top Grade martial art, it was by no means weaker than the Thousand Hands Phantom Fist—if anything, it was stronger!

’Of course, Lin Jue’s execution isn’t as stunning as Lin Wu’s, but with a strike like this, combined with my Mountain-moving Seal, there’s no way Lin Hao can withstand it.’

One claw and one seal struck out simultaneously, their might seeming to crush the eternal heavens, causing even the entire area to tremble.

And many of the vicious beasts in this area were trembling in fear.

Wenren Yuxin’s recent reminder had sent the other examinees in the fourth area surging toward the exit.

Along the way, the vicious beasts that had been so ferocious just moments before became like lambs to the slaughter, allowing the examinees to kill them without much effort and retrieve the Tokens hidden in their bellies.

Among them was one examinee, lagging far behind the others, his face full of resentment. He fought the vicious beasts as if they were his father’s murderers.

Just now, Chi Feng had suddenly attacked and killed an examinee, who was this man’s brother.

He was no match for Chi Feng, so he could only vent his killing intent on the vicious beasts.

SPLURT!

Suddenly, a vicious beast’s blood sprayed all over his face, snapping him back to his senses.

Bending down to pick up a Token and tuck it into his robes, the examinee froze again.

After looking left and right, he took out the Tokens and saw that he had a whopping thirty of them.

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, the earth shook and the mountains swayed.

The Tokens in the examinee’s hands scattered across the ground.

"Impossible, why aren’t you dead yet!" This was Chi Feng’s frantic, furious roar.

"Hahaha, so what if you’re not dead? Time is almost up! Without twenty Tokens, you’ll be eliminated anyway. My master has already entered the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion, while you can’t even get into the Yujin Saint Institute. Compared to him, you are destined to be an ant!"

Chi Feng’s voice echoed throughout the area.

This examinee looked at the tokens scattered on the ground, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.

The same smile also appeared on the face of another examinee.

If Lin Hao had seen him, he would have definitely recognized him. He was the same examinee whose life Lin Hao had saved, to whom he had given a Token, and who then had that Token stolen.

The two examinees were too insignificant for anyone to notice them.

At the exit of the fourth area, the examinees who had turned in their Tokens were dawdling, unwilling to leave. Some were secretly sizing up Wenren Yuxin’s back, while others peered into the depths of the Trial Forest.

A great battle was taking place there.

Despite the great distance, a terrifying aura still emanated from it.

The Mountain-moving Seal was immense, pressing down from the heavens; the Golden Roc Divine Claw annihilated everything, radiating a monstrously vicious aura.

But these could not conceal the dragon’s roar, nor could they suppress the dragon-form qi.

A dragon’s roar pierced the sky, shattering the Mountain-moving Seal; dragon-form qi surged to the heavens, obliterating the Golden Roc Divine Claw.

"With us here today, don’t even think about walking out of this Trial Forest!" Chi Feng’s thunderous roar boomed across the fourth area.

RUMBLE!

The originally hazy Mountain-moving Seal solidified, then changed from white to red, and from red to orange!

And the great Golden Roc claw grew even larger, also changing color, until it was a brilliant gold!

"You can’t keep me here!"

A low voice sounded, filled with unparalleled confidence.

BOOM!

An earth-shattering sound erupted.

PTHOO! PTHOO!

At the exit of the fourth area, several examinees violently spat out blood!

This horrified them.

’This place is at least several thousand meters from that area. To feel such pressure from this far away... just how terrifying must that area be?!’

"Quick, look! That mountain!" an examinee shouted, pointing toward the area.

They saw a mountain peak—the part they could see—suddenly explode, then turn to dust!

HISS!

Everyone’s faces paled.

’Such immense destructive power... are those really Martial Artists of the Elemental Realm fighting?’

A sense of unreality washed over them.

Suddenly, everything between heaven and earth seemed to freeze.

In the fourth area, even the wind stopped blowing.

At this moment, even Wenren Yuxin’s expression changed.

"Get out of here, now!" Wenren Yuxin shouted suddenly.

The examinees also realized something was wrong and vanished in an instant.

Wenren Yuxin was just breathing a sigh of relief when she suddenly saw two examinees still below.

Her expression changing, Wenren Yuxin flicked her sleeve, and a green barrier enveloped the two of them.

Just then...

BOOM!

It was nowhere near as loud as the previous sounds, yet a terrifying ripple swept across the entire area.

And then, Wenren Yuxin witnessed a shocking scene.

A dragon-shaped creature flashed into existence in the void, and a small figure stood atop its head, looking down on all creation!

Wenren Yuxin’s beautiful eyes widened. The small figure looked back, its face shrouded in endless chaos and impossible to see clearly, but a chill ran through Wenren Yuxin’s entire body.

But in the blink of an eye, it all vanished.

The two examinees were prostrated on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Wenren Yuxin also stood there in a daze, until a figure appeared before her...
