Chapter 421: Chapter 417: The Celestial Dao’s Will Transforms into an Evil Demon

"Lin Hao, you’re running out of time! Hurry!" the turtle egg roared from outside the Chaos Gas Wall.

In fact, Lin Hao hadn’t needed the turtle egg to say a word. He was already in motion.

By channeling the Imperial Art, Lin Hao’s Spiritual Sense had momentarily reached an unprecedented height.

The very instant the black clouds in the sky above receded, Lin Hao had keenly sensed the sudden drop in pressure.

’If not now, when?!’

Lin Hao leaped out of the fissure in the ground.

BOOM!

With a muffled rumble, the earth below fused back together, leaving not a trace of the fissure.

And Lin Hao landed on the ground.

The next moment, he and his Primordial Body charged out almost simultaneously, rushing toward the Saint Medicine.

But just then, something strange happened in the sky above.

The black clouds abruptly turned violent, as if they were about to tear themselves free from the sky!

The entire region became suffocatingly oppressive.

With Forbidden God Mountain at the center, all living creatures for hundreds of miles in every direction trembled in fear.

They sensed the terrifying aura of an impending world-ending catastrophe.

Deep in the mountains, an Old Flood Dragon covered in scaly armor was cultivating, aspiring to transform into a true dragon. But in an instant, it was reduced to dust, not even a trace left behind.

A mountain spanning over ten miles and standing a hundred meters tall vanished without a sound. A sect of several hundred people had once resided on it.

...

In the lands for hundreds of miles around Forbidden God Mountain, countless bizarre events were taking place at this very moment.

"Sacrificing living beings to strengthen yourself... So you aren’t the Celestial Dao! You were meant to enact its will, but instead, you’ve fallen into the Demon Dao!"

On Forbidden God Mountain, the turtle egg was nothing like its usual self. Its eyes flashed with an unusual light, and it was filled with righteous indignation.

The turtle egg’s body began to glow. It tried to pass through the Chaos Gas Wall, but with a BOOM, it was sent flying.

"Lin Hao, destroy it! It’s not the Celestial Dao at all, just a remnant of its will. Now that will is trying to break free from the Celestial Dao’s control! It wants the Saint Medicine!"

The turtle egg’s shell began to glow as it used a Secret Skill to send its words through the Chaos Gas Wall.

Inside the Chaos Gas Wall, Lin Hao and his Primordial Body tried to move but found they were completely paralyzed.

Even though it was just a remnant of the Celestial Dao’s will, it was far too powerful.

BOOM!

Then, the palace hovering above the Primordial Body’s head was obliterated.

The Primordial Body swayed, and a trickle of blood escaped the corner of its mouth.

At the same time, the red sun above its head began to waver, on the verge of collapse.

Lin Hao could only watch, completely helpless.

Not only that, but he too was suffering under an unprecedented level of pressure.

The Imperial Art activated. The next moment, the palace above Lin Hao’s head turned crimson, resembling a Fire God Hall beneath the red sun.

But the red sun above the Primordial Body’s head was obliterated.

Originally, the Primordial Body and Lin Hao’s main body had equal combat strength. However, Lin Hao had just entered the Soul Gathering Realm and hadn’t yet had time to forge his Divine Soul into his Primordial Body as well. As a result, the Primordial Body’s strength was now considerably weaker than Lin Hao’s own.

"Lin Hao, merging Yin and Yang is the only way!" the turtle egg yelled from outside the Chaos Gas Wall.

The Chaos Gas Wall blocked all things. Even though the turtle egg had used a Secret Skill, it still couldn’t see what was happening inside. It was only because the spectacular vision of a Divine Hall suspended in the air and a red sun lighting up the world was so obvious that it was able to perceive anything at all.

The turtle egg had seen two red suns and assumed Lin Hao had manifested both of them at the same time.

Now that one of the red suns had been obliterated, the turtle egg couldn’t help but cry out.

Inside the Chaos Gas Wall, a palace reappeared above the Primordial Body’s head. But this time, a full moon materialized above the palace.

The moment the turtle egg shouted about merging Yin and Yang, Lin Hao knew exactly what to do.

’Sunlight and moonlight are the purest forms of Yin and Yang Qi in the world. Merging them will produce the most terrifying power!’

The Primordial Body and the main body shared a single mind, so it naturally understood at once.

Then, the palaces above their heads began to merge into one.

The union of Yin and Yang is Chaos!

’Once Chaos Qi is produced, I’m afraid even a remnant of the Celestial Dao’s will can be severely wounded!’

BOOM!

Unfortunately, just as the two palaces were about to merge, the suppressive force from the sky grew even more violent.

Lin Hao and his Primordial Body were slammed directly into the ground by an incomparably terrifying aura.

The force was so powerful it felt like Lin Hao was suffocating, but he still didn’t give up on the chance to merge the Yin and Yang Qi.

But this feeling of suffocation was only the beginning.

PTHOO!

The suppressive force grew stronger again. The Primordial Body violently spat out a mouthful of blood, and blood trickled from the corner of Lin Hao’s mouth as well.

CRACK!

The next moment, the sound of bones snapping echoed from within both the Primordial Body and Lin Hao.

Yet Lin Hao didn’t even frown. And that wasn’t all; under the crushing pressure, he forced his body to crawl one step forward.

Because after being slammed to the ground, Lin Hao realized he was not far from the Saint Medicine.

If he crawled just a few more steps, he could even drink from the clear Divine Spring.

But it was too difficult.

The pressure was still increasing.

BOOM!

The palace above the Primordial Body was obliterated once more, and the Primordial Body itself was grievously wounded.

Lin Hao could sense that nearly every bone in the Primordial Body had been shattered.

His own condition wasn’t much better.

Nevertheless, Lin Hao refused to give up and dragged himself another step forward.

The next moment, the Primordial Body was completely annihilated.

But just then, after a moment of shock, a strange smile lit up Lin Hao’s eyes.

PTHOO!

He spat out another mouthful of blood, his expression unchanging as the smile in his eyes widened.

The next moment, Lin Hao’s right arm shot out, grabbing for the red fruit.

Unexpectedly, Lin Hao encountered no resistance this time. He got it.

And just at that moment, the roiling black clouds in the sky formed a massive black hand that suddenly plunged down.

The hand was terrifying beyond compare, its presence soul-shaking. It descended with the speed of lightning.

"How dare you!" On the peak of Forbidden God Mountain, the turtle egg also saw the massive hand. It knew exactly what the hand wanted and flew into a rage.

If that thing obtained the Saint Medicine, it would be the beginning of a catastrophe for the mortal world.

A torrent of runes shot up from the turtle egg’s body, slamming into the massive hand that descended from the sky.

However, the massive hand was too powerful; it simply grabbed the runes manifested by the turtle egg and crushed them in mid-air.

"Damn it! My cultivation is too low right now, I’m no match for it!" The turtle egg’s eyes looked as if they would burst from rage, but it could only watch helplessly as the massive hand vanished into the Chaos Gas Wall.

It could see nothing of what happened next.

"It’s over, it’s over! I’ve been had. The Saint Medicine was formed from Emperor Hongtian’s blood essence; it’s imbued with the Great Emperor’s will! No matter how heaven-defying that thing is, there’s no way it can contend with the will of a Great Emperor. It was obviously using Lin Hao all along, waiting for him to retrieve the Saint Medicine before snatching it from his grasp!"

It wasn’t until the massive hand disappeared into the Chaos Gas Wall that the turtle egg suddenly understood everything.

Both it and Lin Hao had been used. All their effort to get the Saint Medicine was just paving the way for someone else!

If even its runes were powerless against the manifested hand, then Lin Hao certainly couldn’t resist it either.

It was likely that not only would the Saint Medicine be lost, but Lin Hao would lose his life as well.

THUD!

The turtle egg collapsed, its heart turning to ash.
