Chapter 767: You Can All Come at Me Together

In the fierce beast’s blood-red, lantern-like eyes, Lin Hao’s reflection appeared again, but this time was different from the last.

Its eyes now reflected the entire area where Lin Hao was located.

A thin, purple aura enveloped the sky above that area, spanning a space of about ten li.

This purple aura was originally formless, but the fierce beast, using some unknown method, had made it manifest.

‘As expected of the Overlord Body. How terrifying!’ Seeing this, it was horrified, murmuring in the language of beasts.

‘No, I can’t let him continue cultivating like this! If this goes on, that old geezer will notice, and it’ll be impossible for me to obtain his body!’

The fierce beast spoke, and then violently exhaled.

A terrifying scene unfolded.

This single breath sealed the void for over ten li and shot across a thousand li, sweeping toward Lin Hao.

It was invisible and formless, but everything in its path ceased to exist. Whether mountains or giant trees, anything it encountered was instantly turned to ash.

It was incredibly fast, crossing a thousand li in an instant.

When it arrived above Lin Hao, the invisible, formless gas evolved into a massive, transparent Gang Qi shield that descended upon him.

It intended to imprison Lin Hao directly!

Lin Hao, who had been motionless in meditation, straightened his body slightly just before the Gang Qi shield fully formed.

Lin Hao sensed a powerful suppressive force coming for him.

This was the power of a martial domain, far surpassing that of any Martial Artist he had ever encountered.

Lin Hao moved.

In Lin Hao’s sea of consciousness, the once-thin primordial aura instantly surged back.

The next moment, Lin Hao’s eyes snapped open, and he looked up at the void.

At that very moment, the Gang Qi shield was descending upon him.

A thousand li away, the scene reflected in the fierce beast’s eyes changed.

The once-thin purple aura above Lin Hao’s head had become incredibly dense.

“Damn it!”

The fierce beast stomped its foot violently.

RUMBLE!

The area around it collapsed catastrophically. Dozens of li away, endless runes materialized in the void.

That was the location of the Undying Holy Land.

But the collapse wasn’t over. In the fierce beast’s eyes, the Gang Qi shield it had conjured was already gone.

The next moment, the fierce beast spoke in a human voice, “What an Overlord Body!”

At the same time, its massive body vanished, replaced by the form of a middle-aged man.

“I was careless just now. This time, you won’t escape!” A bewitching red light glinted in the eyes of the middle-aged man that the fierce beast had transformed into.

Just as he was about to move, he stopped abruptly, then vanished in the opposite direction.

A thousand li away, Lin Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

“Boss, what happened?” Bai Yu asked Lin Hao.

Xi Chenghua and the others also looked toward Lin Hao.

A moment ago, Lin Hao had suddenly stood up, first looking at the void, then staring deep into the Dragon Transformation Ancient Realm, looking as if he were facing a powerful enemy. Yet, they hadn’t sensed anything unusual at all.

Now that Lin Hao seemed to have relaxed, they were naturally concerned about what had happened.

The attack had been aimed at Lin Hao, and the power of the domain he had created had completely neutralized the Gang Qi shield from the void. They hadn’t even detected the attack from a thousand li away before Lin Hao dispersed it.

Lin Hao came back to his senses, shook his head, and replied with a smile that it was nothing.

Just now, Lin Hao had felt an immense oppressive force, a power he couldn’t contend with at his current level. Even all of them combined would have been no match for it.

Fortunately, however, that power had now vanished.

With the crisis averted for the time being, Lin Hao naturally wouldn’t mention it.

“Boss, what should we do now?” Bai Yu asked again.

Lin Hao thought for a moment. “We’re going to the Undying Holy Land.”

Originally, Lin Hao hadn’t planned on going, but just now, his eyes had pierced through the void and seen the runes light up over the Undying Holy Land.

That Rune Power was capable of resisting the terrifying presence that had just vanished.

“Alright!” Bai Yu sounded particularly excited to hear Lin Hao’s words.

Lin Hao was the founder of the Undying Holy Land. No matter how reluctant Dugu Shang was, he couldn’t change that fact.

One could only imagine the treatment they would receive after entering the Undying Holy Land.

The thought of the grand Holy Lord himself having to bow and scrape made it hard for Bai Yu not to be excited.

“There are people from other Holy Lands and secret sects in the Undying Holy Land right now. We need to be on our best behavior when we get there.” Lin Hao’s words brought Bai Yu back down to earth.

However, Bai Yu didn’t dare to protest Lin Hao’s words and could only agree obediently.

Not wanting to delay, Lin Hao glanced at Xiu Xiu, who was still playing dead, shouted, “Let’s go,” and took the lead, speeding toward the Undying Holy Land.

The others hurried to follow.

After everyone had left, the “dead” Xiu Xiu suddenly bounced up.

It stood upright like a person, staring in the direction Lin Hao and the others had gone. It patted its chest with a small paw and let out a sigh of relief.

But after hesitating for a long moment, it let out a “WHOOSH,” tore open the void, and vanished into it.

「Inside the Undying Holy Land.」

Dugu Shang and the three other middle-aged men had only just relaxed their tense bodies.

A moment ago, more than ten li away, the fierce beast’s rage had caused the Undying Holy Land’s runes to flare. They had thought the beast had lost its patience and was about to attack, and their muscles had tensed instantly.

However, after waiting for several dozen breaths, Dugu Shang was the first to relax. He sensed that the power pushing against the Holy Land’s runes had disappeared.

This proved that the fierce beast had left.

“Gentlemen, it has left. Will you be going or staying?” Dugu Shang asked the three of them directly.

If he hadn’t met Lin Hao, Dugu Shang might have considered absorbing them into the Undying Holy Land. But after meeting Lin Hao, Dugu Shang’s goals had changed.

Besides, he was about to enter secluded cultivation. These three, a Holy Lord and two Ascendants, were prestigious figures. Keeping them in the Holy Land would bring a hundred harms and not a single benefit.

Hearing this, the three middle-aged men all looked at Dugu Shang, a strange light flashing in their eyes.

“Dugu, the fierce beast just left, and you’re already trying to kick us out. Isn’t that a bit cold?” one of the middle-aged men said, his eyes narrowing with a rather unfriendly expression.

His name was Shu Fangge, the Holy Lord of another Holy Land on the Huang Yang Continent.

“Your Undying Holy Land is the safest place in this entire region. This old Daoist has no intention of going anywhere else,” said another middle-aged man dressed in Daoist robes, chuckling as he looked at Dugu Shang.

He was an Ascendant from a secret sect. Because of his smile, people called him the Chuckling Ascendant; his real name had long been forgotten.

The Chuckling Ascendant’s words made it clear to Dugu Shang: inviting a god is easy, but sending one away is hard.

“I’ve heard you’ve mastered the Primordial Undying Scripture. I’ve always wanted to test it, but unfortunately, you were a junior back then. Now that you’re the master of the Undying Holy Land, challenging you now wouldn’t be considered bullying the weak, would it?”

The last middle-aged man was also a Daoist. He was stern, with a brawny, fierce-looking face—the most un-Ascendant-like Ascendant there was.

And yet, he had an unforgettable title: the Jade-faced Ascendant.

Hearing this, Dugu Shang’s expression didn’t change. He simply said, “Are you trying to get your hands on the Undying Holy Land?”

The three exchanged glances, and each saw confusion in the others’ eyes. Before they could speak, Dugu Shang spoke again.

It was just one sentence.

“Come at me together.”

Boundlessly arrogant.
