The Prodigies War

He shocked the heavens and earth with only his voice.

Lin Xun was facing a crowd of enemies, but he was still domineering, which stirred everyone around him.

“Hmph! What do you mean by covet the fortune that belongs to your camp? That’s some big talk!” laughed Shi Pohai coldly. It surprised him that Lin Xun dared to be so arrogant at a time like this.

“Who are you to bark in front of me?” Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.

Everyone present was stunned.

Did he just ‘reprimand’ the number one figure of the Star Fiend Ancient Domain’s younger generation, who is also an outstanding talent among the Azure Blue Eight Supremes, for ‘barking’?

He is basically calling Shi Pohai a dog!

The expressions of the Star Fiend supreme Saints instantly became gloomy.

Shi Pohai laughed in a fit of rage. He pointed at Lin Xun and said in a chilling voice, “If you give up resisting and kneel down in repentance, I can give you a quick and painless death. If you don’t, then I will guarantee to make your life worse than death!”

Hearing this, Lin Xun looked around. “You lot also share this idea?”

“Do you still think you can escape today?” asked Xue Qingyi expressionlessly, with an intimidating gleam in his scarlet eyes. “Lin Xun, you are here for the Origin Magnet Secret Realm, while we are here to kill you. We shall not stop until you are dead.”

The last sentence was uttered with every word emphasized and it overflowed with murderous intent.

The eyes of the foreign supreme Saints and True Saints were all flooded with killing intent as well. From the moment Lin Xun arrived, they had already regarded him as a fish on their chopping board.

Xue Qingyi’s determined attitude made them all a bit eager to try. Rumor had it that Lin Xun was strong and bloody in battle, but today, he was bound to die!

“Finished yapping?” Lin Xun suddenly laughed, his eyes eerily cold. “Then I might as well say this: If anyone from your eight domains can enter the Origin Magnet Secret Realm today, then it will count as I have lost!”

The moment these words came out, the entire field went silent.

Everyone looked over incredulously as if they were looking at a madman.

Acting so recklessly when facing over a hundred supreme Saints and more than eight hundred True Saints, what was Lin Xun if not crazy?

Even the cultivators in the grand formation were speechless.

“Hahahaha, interesting. The Ancient Wasteland Domain has actually produced such an ignorant and fearless maniac like you. I bet you don’t know how to write the word death!” Shi Pohai burst out laughing.

Shrouded in a churning, thick, fiendish, silver mist, he was like the ruler of a galaxy who trod upon the air and rode the wind.

“For such a maniac, beheading it is!” Even the taciturn and indifferent Hua Hongxiao seemed to be unable to look on. His voice was like an icy blade that emitted a frightening murderous aura.

In this instant, everyone else was also scoffing.

It indeed seemed ridiculous and absurd that a young supreme Saint of the Ancient Wasteland Domain, powerful as he might be, would utter such words at a time like this.

The Origin Magnet Secret Realm in the distance was going to emerge in less than the time it took to burn an incense stick. Did Lin Xun think that he could turn the tables in this short period?

If he did, then he was being incredibly arrogant to the point of insanity!

Zhao Jingxuan sighed softly as she recalled many past scenes.

Every time someone thought that Lin Xun was incapable and called him arrogant, they would, without exception, end up being slapped in the face and eating their words.

Will it be different this time?

Zhao Jingxuan looked at Lin Xun, who was standing in the distant sky, with a little bit of worry in her heart, which was already a clear answer in itself!

So what if a powerful army was in front of him?

Not just anyone could block his kind of ferocity!

Clang!

Right at this moment, the scarlet Yuantu Sword shot up with a stirring chant. Seemingly hiding a raging underworld river within, it emitted a thick blood-red light that dyed the sky scarlet.

“We shall see who is the arrogant madman at the end of the battle.” Lin Xun’s voice resounded in the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds. His clothes fluttered strongly, his long hair danced, and his eyes gleamed coldly.

“Let me be the first one to test this madman’s depth!” An impatient supreme Saint stormed out.

He was a tall and robust man with gray hair and eyes as big as bells. He charged over with a black war spear in his grip.

Boom!

As he swung his spear, countless black thunderbolts emerged, steaming with the power of Saint Dao Laws that resembled dancing flames.

The attack filled the void with crackling thunder and lightning the moment it took shape. The sound alone was horrifying.

Many onlookers marveled out loud when they recognized this man to be a supreme Saint of the old generation whose dao name was Cangran. He had become well-known several thousands of years ago with superb cultivation depth and fighting tactics.

Take his current strike for example, it carried the power of the great dao and had an unstoppable momentum, reaching Lin Xun as soon as it was deployed. Nothing more than this could better show off the style and power of an old-generation supreme Saint.

Seeing that the spear was going to impale Lin Xun, Cangran couldn’t help but secretly feel triumphant.

This strike was his most proud killing move, and he had nearly poured all his strength into it. If Lin Xun thought that this was an attack made out of scorn and negligence, then he would be very wrong!

The next moment, a smile appeared on Cangran’s face.

Lin Xun made no attempt to dodge. He just lifted his hand and pointed a finger. The fingertip that was suffused with a clear, divine light collided with the pitch-black tip of the spear.

“Hahaha, you are too arrogant, little scumbag. Do you really think my strike is so easy to parry?” laughed Cangran loudly.

His spear was branded with the most unbending and tyrannical Black Inferno Heavenly Flame, so even a supreme Saint of the physical refinement way wouldn’t dare to meet it head-on or else they would be instantly incinerated.

Rumble!

Sure enough, in blinding arcs and deafening thunder, the pitch-dark Black Inferno Heavenly Flame crawled up along Lin Xun’s fingertip and spread all over his arm.

However, a golden aura filled with dao power of annihilation emerged and circled Lin Xun, instantly crushing the lightning arcs and the black fire into nothingness.

Cangran’s smile froze on his face. What…?

Immediately after, there was an explosive noise as Lin Xun’s finger that was pressing against the spear tip suddenly erupted with a blazing light. At that instant, Cangran felt as though he was being hit by a godly mountain.

The spear in his hand violently bent before bursting into pieces with a bang and turning into a rain of light.

A Saint Treasure was destroyed by a finger!

The finger didn’t stop there as it followed the momentum to land on Cangran’s chest in a smooth manner. The old supreme Saint’s full-body protective power and defensive treasure were simultaneously blown up like they were made of paper.

Boom!

The next moment, Cangran was sent flying several thousand feet, shattering the void in flight, before he fell to the ground with blood spurting out from his mouth and nose. His chest had sunken into a bloody hole.

“You…” Cangran looked horrified. He opened his mouth to say something, but the severe pain sent him into convulsions.

What?! The eyes of the onlookers constricted.

The exchange ended in the blink of an eye while many people still marveled at Cangran’s skills and power. No one had thought that he’d be defeated so fast.

On top of that, he was seriously wounded!

A stunned silence filled the area as everyone hammered their heads trying to figure out why Lin Xun had been able to achieve this.

Even Xue Qingyi, Hua Hongxiao, and Shi Pohai frowned and narrowed their eyes.

Sure enough, this fellow is imperious, but he has the power to back it up. Even an old-generation supreme Saint like Cangran is not a match for him at all.

“Calling me arrogant when this is all you got, aren’t you funny?” Lin Xun’s lips curled into a sneer.

From beginning to end, he hadn’t moved an inch from his spot.

“Attack him together!” ordered Xue Qingyi with a grim face.

Whether it was him, Shi Pohai, or Hua Hongxiao, this was the first time they had seen Lin Xun after having only learned about his deeds from word of mouth before. Therefore, none of them was sure about how strong he was.

This was why they were holding back from launching their full force. They wanted to further test Lin Xun’s capabilities first.

Immediately, ten supreme Saints stepped out. They were a mix of people: men and women, old and young, but each surged with a sky-piercing aura and majesty.

But Xue Qingyi’s heart jumped when he was reminded of the bloody event before the City of Protection in the Blood Demon Territory. At that time, Lin Xun had killed left and right despite being surrounded by over a dozen supreme Saints. It was safe to say that ten would be insufficient.

Inhaling deeply, Xue Qingyi ordered, “Ten more, no, twenty more!”

Many supreme Saints of all the eight domains were stunned. What does he mean? Is he saying that we need thirty supreme Saints to deal with a single Lin Xun?

“Aren’t you overestimating this man, Brother Xue?” Shi Pohai couldn’t help but frown, thinking that Xue Qingyi’s move was a bit of a fall from grace. If word of this got out, they would become a joke.

“Believe me, this is necessary to really force out his limit.” Xue Qingyi took another deep breath, his eyes glinting. “Don’t forget how he flaunted his power in my Blood Demon Camp in the first place.”

Hearing this, everyone’s gaze flickered.

Lin Xun glanced at Xue Qingyi with some surprise. When the allied army of the seven domains had attacked the Ancient Wasteland Territory, the only camp who hadn’t gotten involved was the Blood Demon Ancient Domain.

Now, it did seem that the other party was much wiser than an average person. At least, in this situation where his side had an absolute advantage in numbers, it was indeed a rare thing that he was still able to maintain this level of caution and vigilance.

After all, the norm had been that the more powerful an expert was, the more proud and conceited their actions were. They might not lack wisdom, but they even more so honored power.

Especially, when occupying an absolute advantage, very few would still be as cautious as Xue Qingyi.

The pressure in the air rose as thirty supreme Saints came out from the crowd and spread out like a hand fan being unfolded.

Their auras were sky-high, and their qi was running to the extreme. As supreme Saints who had been through countless battles, they understood the need to fight like a lion who still used all of its strength when pouncing on a rabbit.

In this instant, radiant splendor from these supreme Saints and their various treasures filled heaven and earth. They were like a group of gods who were descending the mortal world on earth, causing thousands of miles around them to lose color.

Seeing this, Zhao Jingxuan quietly clenched her fists, but her expression remained unperturbed.

If Lin Xun failed to handle just this, then there would be no need for the battle to continue.

Meanwhile, Xue Qingyi’s group was watching with utmost focus.

The following fight should be enough to probe into Lin Xun’s true power. As long as he showed the slightest sign of fatigue, then what awaited him would be a devastating blow that would result in his certain destruction!

The atmosphere, in this moment, was oppressive to the extreme.

The whole world was filled with murderous intent!
