The peerlessly beautiful woman let out a cold snort. The very air before her crackled and exploded, the sound rolling onward for an untold number of miles.

This woman was, of course, the Devil Queen.

The Devil Queen’s power was immense; she already had one foot in the Sealed Martial Realm.

An expert at the Sealed Martial Realm could deploy their Divine Soul to see who was channeling the power of the stars, but before her Divine Soul could even get close, it suffered a devastating blow.

This wasn’t a destructive blow, but one of devouring!

The Emperor-level technique that cultivator was using actually had the ability to devour her Divine Soul!

If her Divine Soul hadn’t been so far away, and if she hadn’t reacted so quickly, the consequences would have been dire.

However, the Devil Queen’s abilities could not be measured by common sense. Despite the grievous injury to her Divine Soul, she had still obtained the information she sought.

She now knew who was drawing upon the power of the stars.

An expert at the Spirit Transformation Realm could send their Divine Soul thousands of miles in an instant to eliminate a foe. But the Devil Queen, with one foot in the Sealed Martial Realm, had comprehended the power of a martial domain. Any supreme expert on this continent would be detected by her.

Just now, the reason she had spoken out was that she had sensed the aura of a supreme expert.

This had never happened before.

Needless to say, it was Lin Hao’s drawing of the starry power that had been sensed by the supreme experts.

The Devil Queen sensed killing intent within the auras of those supreme experts.

After her cold snort, the Devil Queen was about to turn away when a trace of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Then, she became as still as a statue.

After a moment, the Devil Queen exhaled and murmured, "The heavens and stars are in turmoil. Only the supreme experts of this continent should be able to sense it, yet you can feel it too. The Harmony Dominator Body is truly extraordinary. I imagine you’ve awakened an Original Secret Skill. I just wonder what the Harmony Dominator Body’s Original Secret Skill is."

Just as the Devil Queen was about to retract her Spiritual Sense, she was surprised to find that a certain someone—still very weak in her eyes—had also noticed the phenomenon, piquing her curiosity.

A brief investigation revealed his identity.

Lin Wu!

Lin Wu, possessor of the Harmony Dominator Body!

After that soft murmur, the Devil Queen vanished.

She would not, of course, move against Lin Wu.

Meanwhile, in a sacred place within the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion on the Celestial Yang Continent, a strange scene appeared in the eyes of a slender youth.

He gazed up at the sky, and a blurry image was reflected in his eyes.

Within his eyes, a faintly discernible youth sat cross-legged, shrouded in a hazy mist. Above his head, the power of the stars was being drawn into his body.

But the image was too blurry; its true nature was impossible to discern.

This was a terrifying Secret Skill.

If Lin Hao knew of these eyes at this moment, he would surely be aghast.

It was simply too terrifying.

The two were separated by tens of thousands of miles, yet this youth could perceive nearly everything. It was utterly horrifying.

A pair of eyes that could see through eternity!

"An Emperor-level technique. Someone has obtained an Emperor-level technique for the Soul Gathering Realm." The youth came back to his senses, his eyes returning to normal. Then, he strode away, covering a thousand meters with a single step! A step that shrank the earth!

Meanwhile, atop Forbidden God Mountain, Lin Hao, who was channeling the power of the stars, had no idea that his Cultivation Technique had alerted the true top-tier experts of the continent.

Nor did he know that his lifelong nemesis, having stolen his bloodline and constitution, had awakened an incredibly terrifying Original Secret Skill.

BOOM!

At that moment, a surge of power erupted within Lin Hao’s mind.

Lin Hao’s essence, qi, and spirit resonated in unison.

And in Lin Hao’s Upper Dantian, the eyes of his seated True Self Divine Soul snapped open, shining with extreme brightness.

The next moment, Lin Hao’s own eyes opened, burning like a pair of divine lamps before quickly returning to normal.

He rose to his feet, his body letting out a series of sharp cracks.

"Not bad, kid. Reaching the Second Layer of the Soul Gathering Realm so quickly." Seeing Lin Hao stand up, a flash of shock appeared and vanished in the tortoise egg’s eyes before it spoke nonchalantly.

"It’s too slow. I think I just felt many people spying on me. There are a lot of powerful experts on this continent." Lin Hao shook his head, his expression grim.

Although his cultivation was not high, he had just been cultivating an Emperor-level technique, his essence, qi, and spirit unified, allowing him to vaguely perceive the prying eyes.

The tortoise egg was not the least bit surprised by this.

However, hearing Lin Hao say his progress was too slow made the corner of the tortoise egg’s mouth twitch. ’He’s cultivating an Emperor-level technique,’ it thought. ’If this speed is considered slow, then almost every Martial Artist on this continent must be an idiot.’

Of course, the tortoise egg only thought these words. It would never let itself appear inferior to Lin Hao. Not that it was a person to begin with.

"Kid, I’ve been waiting for you from day to night. Isn’t it time you got to work?" the tortoise egg said, changing the subject.

Lingering on that topic would only serve to annoy it.

For the tortoise egg, the Saint Medicine was the most important thing right now.

"Alright!" Lin Hao nodded and strode toward the Heavenly Stele.

A Saint Medicine was far too valuable.

And Lin Hao needed one now more than ever.

"Wait!" the tortoise egg called out to Lin Hao.

Before Lin Hao could respond, it blocked his path and, like a magician, produced a bottle.

"There’s bound to be a spring next to that Saint Medicine. A spring that can nurture a Saint Medicine might not be a Divine Spring, but it’s still immensely valuable. Don’t you dare waste it," the tortoise egg said seriously.

Lin Hao’s eyes glinted. As he took the bottle, he looked the tortoise egg up and down, and his gaze was enough to give it the creeps.

’Dammit, I was too careless! This guy is definitely eyeing this divine tortoise’s treasures!’ The tortoise egg was overcome with a sense of regret so profound it felt like its insides were turning green.

However, Lin Hao didn’t say anything more and started walking toward the Heavenly Stele again.

Behind the Heavenly Stele was the Chaos Gas Wall. Although he had passed through it once before, Lin Hao still didn’t dare to be careless.

Thankfully, this time he passed through just as instantaneously.

As soon as he was inside, Lin Hao saw the swaying Saint Medicine in the distance.

Previously, Lin Hao wouldn’t have been able to see it clearly from this distance. Unlike last time, the area was now shrouded in a dense, hazy mist.

But now, with his enhanced cultivation, and with the Saint Medicine faintly emitting a divine aura, it would have been difficult for Lin Hao not to see it.

Furthermore, the Saint Medicine looked even more tantalizing than it had a few months ago.

However, remembering his experience from a few months prior, Lin Hao didn’t dare let his guard down.

This Saint Medicine had endured three cycles of ninety-nine years of lightning strikes, taken three thousand years to grow, three thousand years to flower, and three thousand years to bear fruit. It would not be obtained so easily.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Hao began to circulate the Divine Illumination Scripture.

This was where Lin Hao was being clever. The Saint Medicine was related to Emperor Hongtian, and the Divine Illumination Scripture was Emperor Hongtian’s Cultivation Technique. Perhaps the two would create a unique resonance.

Lin Hao’s guess was correct.

The instant Lin Hao circulated the Divine Illumination Scripture, the nine fiery red leaves began to sway, offering a response.

The swaying of the leaves shocked Lin Hao.

He was horrified to see that as the nine leaves swayed, ripples spread through the void!

Although Lin Hao felt no pressure from them, he had the distinct feeling that those ripples could shatter all creation! Even Tier Four, Tier Five, or even Tier Six Spiritual Artifacts would be instantly obliterated before them!
