A few weeks ago...

Lin Hao was venturing deep into one of the demons' forbidden ground in the Devil Suppression World with some of the humans who arrived at this world. Other than him, there were four people.

They encountered many dangers along the way but all dangers were dealt with by Lin Hao with the help of the other four people.

After one month of their arrival in this world, they came to know that there was a forbidden ground known as Devil Suppressing Ground which follows the name of the world.

Because of this name, many demons tried to explore this forbidden ground only to never come out alive.

Coincidently, these five people were very close to the Devil Suppressing Ground when they encountered tens of Ancient Demon Realm demons. They knew that they were no match for those demons so they tried their best to avoid being seen by those demons.

Unfortunately, luck was not on their side. One of those Ancient Demon Realm demons discovered them and so the hunt begin.

If Lin Hao were to be alone, he would have definitely escaped easily but this was not the case. There were four people following him, so to save their lives, he decided to stay behind and let those four people escape.

Those four people were really ungrateful bastards as they left Lin Hao alone without even thinking twice. Lin Hao didn't think much, since he had decided to save their lives by staying behind and fighting these demons, he did so.

He fought against them and was badly injured. If not for the half of the God Slaying Sword that took action on its own volition and killed all the Ancient Demon Realm demons, he would have died here.

After resting and recovering from his injuries, Lin Hao discovered that unknowingly, he had long entered the Devil Suppressing Ground while fighting those demons.

There was a saying in this Demon World: Even if you want to die, never enter the Devil Suppressing Ground. Otherwise, you'll suffer a fate worse than death.

Lin Hao doesn't know why this saying was famous in this Demon World. But since this saying was so far spread and world-famous, Lin Hao didn't want to stay here any longer and exit the forbidden ground.

Unfortunately, after spending a few days searching for the exit, Lin Hao discovered that there was no exit. The exit of the Devil Suppressing Ground had somehow disappeared. Maybe, he has to fulfill some sort of condition if he wants to exit this forbidden ground.

Lin Hao could not do anything in this situation. He started exploring the Devil Suppressing World. Now, there were only two hopes in his heart. The first one was to fulfill the condition and exit the forbidden ground and the second one was to wait for two years to pass. At that time, his token will activate on its own and will teleport him back to the Great Martial World.

In just a few days, Lin Hao encountered many dangers and almost lost his life. Although he didn't die, he was really seriously injured again and again. He could only rely on himself to pass those dangers.For now, the God Slaying Sword couldn't come and help him deal with the dangers and bring him out of trouble. It's because it has long used up the energy it saved in the past few years dealing with those tens of Ancient Demon Realm demons.

As for why and what was the reason behind the God Slaying Sword's situation, Lin Hao had no idea. The Spirit of the God Slaying Sword also didn't tell him anything. It only told him that in the future, he had to fight for the Heavens with a person who has already been born to fight against the Heavens.

It also told him to find its other half if he wants to know the reason why he has to fight for the Heavens.

God Slaying Sword helped him improve his strength rapidly from the moment it awakened its injured spirit.

​ Talking about the spirit of God Slaying Sword, it was also split into two parts when the God Slaying Sword broke eons ago. Each half of the sword has half of its spirit present.

Because of this, when Lin Hao was to come near 1,000 kilometers of the other half of God Slaying Sword, it would be able to sense and contact its other half.

Coming back to Lin Hao's situation, although he had encountered many dangers and almost died, he was also able to have a fortuitous encounter. He found a Top Grade Spirit Fruit that can help him break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm immediately.

But, Lin Hao didn't get the opportunity to swallow the fruit. He once again encountered a Late Stage Ancient Demon Realm demonic beast who chased after him. This kind of demonic beast was not something he could deal with. So, he fought and escape. he kept doing this until he arrived in front of an ancient-looking altar.

This altar had many inscriptions inscribed on it. It was as if it was sealing something inside.

Maybe, it was because of this altar, that demonic beast stopped coming after him and escaped with its 'legs on its head'.

[Author's Note:- Escaping with legs on the head means running away with all might.]

For some reason, when Lin Hao saw the altar, he felt a chill running down his spine. He felt an extremely evil aura suppressing under the altar. Lin Hao had a very dangerous feeling when he saw this altar, he wanted to escape as soon as possible but at this moment, the God Slaying Sword sent him its thought. It told him that the being suppressed here has become extremely weak because of being sealed for many years.

The seal on the altar, mainly the inscriptions, absorbs the dark energy as well as the soul energy of the being suppressed inside to maintain the formation on the altar and provide energy continuously.

It is a torturous type of formation.

By the passage of time, the being suppressed under the altar would die because of losing all of its dark energy as well as soul energy. This kind of experience was not comfortable at all.But after the continuous weakening, the being suppressed inside has lost more than three-fourth of its strength.

The spirit of God Slaying Sword told Lin Hao that it can absorb the remaining soul energy of the being suppressed inside the altar to recover most of its strength. It could also be able to strengthen itself very much. It wanted Lin Hao to take the risk and attack the altar.

It was also because of this that Lin Hao took the action and attacked the altar, causing a crack to appear.

.....

Current time...

"This altar is your weakness, right. You are trying to stall for time. If you really have recovered all of your strength, how could you let me go?"

Lin Hao said and then he hacked down his sword.

The devil's entire body was shrouded in a hazy mist of blood. He arrogantly said, "Human, you challenge the dignity of a Devil. You will definitely be crushed to pieces by me!"

As the Devil's voice rang out, the ground of the Devil Suppressing Ground began to rapidly turn barren.

On the ground, the trees and flowers began to wither rapidly, losing their liveliness. A mysterious force was plundering the life of all living things on this land.

"Human, I will take away your ten thousand years of life!" With a proud expression, the Devil pointed at Lin Hao and said. The Devil's voice seemed to come from above the hell as it rumbled.

This voice spread through the four directions like a decree. Everyone who heard this voice couldn't help but feel a sense of subservience.

Soon, the surrounding mysterious power started to corrode towards Lin Hao's direction. Soon, they arrived in front of Lin Hao.

"Trying to devour my life, you are courting death."

With a flick of his finger, a burning inscription appeared in his palm. This was something that was given to him by the patriarch of the Lin Family to save his life in a life-threatening situation.

When the inscription appeared, a tyrannical pressure instantly descended on the entire Devil Suppressing Ground.

It was also the time when Lin Hao circulated the cultivation technique that he has gotten from the God Slaying Sword at their first meeting.

An ancient aura exploded out from Lin Hao's body as a terrifying wave burst forth. The most terrifying was that the surrounding became like a sword... no, hundreds of thousands of swords...

It was as if hundreds of thousands of invisible swords were moving in the surrounding, aiming at the devil.

The devil had a feeling, it felt that Lin Hao could cause him a serious injury with just one thought of his. With just one thought, these hundreds of thousands of swords will directly penetrate his newly possess body.
