The Prodigies War

Hou Zheng threatened Ling Kezi, making no attempt to conceal his rudeness.

However, Xuan Jiuyin couldn’t help laughing, “This is called asking for death.”

With a cackle, he vanished from the spot, and the next moment, he was right in front of Hou Zheng, palm swinging down like a blade.

With a rip, the void tore apart like a piece of paper as a wave of unparalleled palm force mixed with mysterious great dao power spread outwards. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Hou Zheng thundered, charging straight into the fight without hesitation.

The two clashed, but the winner was decided within seconds.

Pu!

Xuan Jiuyin swung his silver sword in fury and effortlessly overpowered Hou Zheng’s Emperor-grade weapon and beheaded him.

Amidst the splattering of blood, Xuan Jiuyin sheathed his sword and said nonchalantly, “Does anyone else want to try?”

Having been watching the battles only until now, his strength and condition were at their absolute peak. Naturally, he had no problem taking down Hou Zheng, who was already in a wounded state.

In fact, at this moment, except for him and Ling Kezi, no one else in front of the Gate of Ruination was in perfect condition!

Hou Zheng’s death terrified the others and made them flee like panicked beasts.

A frustrated look crossed Xuan Jiuyin’s face as he scratched his head, muttering, “Why do I feel like none of them is worthy of a duel with me…am I too strong...or are they too weak?”

Ling Kezi, who was collecting the spoils, suddenly spat out.

Xuan Jiuyin’s hand froze mid-stroke as he ran it through his hair and he asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Ling Kezi pointed at the blood on the ground. “I feel sick when I see blood. I want to vomit.”

Xuan Jiuyin fumed silently. This monk was clearly directing that at me!

Before he could say anything, Ling Kezi said aloud, “Do you want to stay here and wait for Lin Xun?”

Xuan Jiuyin answered, “The Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone is a land of great danger, but it also hides many great fortunes. In addition to the chaos treasure, there are also great things in other places.

“For example, the tree that grows below an inverted volcano. It has given birth to three fruits that look like little babies and they seem to each have their own intelligence. They sit on the branch of the tree, absorbing the essence of the lava. It’s amazing and I want to take a look. Do you want to come with me?”

Ling Kezi quickly shook his head. “That little tree is so bizarre and terrifying. Over the years, countless Emperors have been buried there. Even if it hides great treasures, I won’t survive to take them.”

Xuan Jiuyin pursed his lips. “Coward!”

Ling Kezi organized the spoils and walked over, saying, “I’m not cowardly, I just want to meditate in seclusion.”

After a discussion between the two, they decided that Ling Kezi would take care of the spoils and return them to Lin Xun later, while Xuan Jiuyin set off alone.

He wouldn’t be happy if he did not satisfy his curiosity by checking out the strange little tree and having a taste of its fruits.

Knowing that he could not dissuade him, Ling Kezi could only remind him to be extra careful.

Before long, the two left the Gate of Ruination area one after another.

Meanwhile, on the outside of the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone, things were no longer as calm and peaceful as it was.

Even though it was impossible to pry into the situation at the Gate of Ruination of Mount Heedless, the bigshots of the Emperor Stage were able to piece together some of the truth!

When the battle broke out at the Gate of Ruination—

On Mount of Clouds, the life lamps that were in front of the Emperors went out one after another. It symbolized the experts killed by Lin Xun in the battle.

Unfortunately, Taishu Hong and the Emperor Fire Spirit had no idea about this.

The only thing they could grasp was that the battle for the chaos treasure had begun!

The Emperors began to analyze and deduce the situation, nervously watching the life lamps in front of everyone.

“Impossible! How would our Feng Beiling be killed so quickly? He holds...the Fallen Soul Horsetail Whisk!” The furious bellow of an Emperor from the ancient Imperial Feng Clan drew a lot of attention.

Feng Beiling!

That kid is known to possess extraordinary combat skills. It’s indeed surprising that he’s killed so quickly.

In the following time, Emperors turned ashen-faced one after another. Some yelled furiously, some speechless, and some were petrified.

The bright lamps in front of them had gone out, which indicated that their respective disciples had fallen in the battle for the chaos treasure!

The mood became somber.

Taishu Hong and other Emperors also tensed up nervously.

Their emotions shifted with the flicker of the lamps.

“I sent out Shang Ziyan and gave him the Dao Lawless Blade, but why is his light flickering like it is about to go out? Could he be fatally wounded?”

The face of Great Emperor Yun Yan of the Panwu Dao Court twisted with fear and dread.

Meanwhile, the other Emperors were astonished to hear that Shang Ziyan carried the Dao Lawless Blade, such a heaven-defying Emperor weapon.

What was most unbelievable was that, even armed with the Dao Lawless Blade, Shang Ziyan was showing signs of dying!

Based on this, how fierce and brutal was the battle at the Gate of Ruination?

All the Emperors could no longer remain calm.

This was not because their state of mind was not strong enough, but because the battle involved a chaos treasure, so they had to pay close attention to it.

“I wonder who will get this great fortune.”

“No matter what, casualties are inevitable. I just hope that this battle will end soon.”

“In my opinion, Mi Wuya, Jing Tiannan, Ling Hongzhuang, Wen Yu, and Xuan Jiuyin...these five people have the best chance of getting the fortune.”

The Emperors exchanged their views.

“How can you forget the remnant of Fangchun Mountain?” Emperor Fire Spirit interjected, her voice sharp and cold. “Of course, no matter how fierce and violent he is, he likely won’t be able to escape death!”

Many Emperors’ expressions changed subtly.

Come to think of it, he had not only killed Huangfu Shaonong and his group, but also Kong Zhao and the others. He must have long angered many fierce characters.

Additionally, he was a disciple of Fangchun Mountain. His appearance on Mount Heedless was sure to provoke hostility in many powerful cultivators!

“I don’t want that boy to die like that...” Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor of Primordial Dao Court muttered, his words filled with meanings.

The eyes of other Emperors flashed. They were all aware that only if Lin Xun was alive could he act as a real bait and be of use when the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone came to an end.

A dead bait would only have limited use to them.

The orders that the disciples of the three great courts, Primordial, Heaven and Earth and Panwu, received were also to capture Lin Xun alive and only kill him as a last resort!

All of this was to use Lin Xun as bait for the big fish!

Unfortunately for Emperor Fire Spirit and Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor, the battle unfolded in a way that they would never imagine.

“What? Wen Yu of our clan has died?” An Emperor cried out, drawing glances from everyone else.

Just now it was said that Wen Yu had a high chance to fight for the fortune, but the next second, this peerless monster-like character was said to be dead!

Moreover, the competition only just started.

Next, lamps extinguished one after another, all of them representing extraordinary figures who many had high hopes for.

Their deaths left the Emperors in shock. They could not imagine what sort of horrific battle took place on Mount Heedless!

It was not until they saw the life lamps of Jing Tiannan and Ling Hongzhuang dimming that they felt their hearts race with anxiety.

At this point, the vast majority of talented geniuses who they had high hopes for seemed to be on the brink of death. This was undoubtedly alarming.

What exactly was happening in that earthshaking battle?

“How…how could this be?” Great Emperor Yun Yan mumbled, face showing utter disbelief.

Everyone looked over and were aghast to see the lamp that represented Mi Wuya flicker weakly!

The atmosphere suddenly became silent and still as every Emperor was engulfed in bewilderment.

Even someone as powerful as Mi Wuya was in life-threatening danger. Something terrifying and huge must have happened in the battle.

Someone suggested, “Could it be the doing of the remnant of Fangchun Mountain?”

Emperor Fire Spirit, Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor, and the others wrinkled their brows.

“How could he possess such heaven-defying powers?”

“A battle is bound to involve conflict and killing. Lin Xun may have performed remarkably in the battle, but it’s absurd to say that it was all his doing.”

During discussion, they ruled out the possibility that Lin Xun was responsible for all that.

Even Mi Wuya could not achieve that!

“No matter what, once all this is over, the truth will reveal itself.” Taishu Hong drew a deep breath and spoke calmly.

At this point, only a month remained before the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone came to an end.

The Emperors all had their own agenda.

In fact, for them, the truth was not particularly important. What was important was who would get their hands on the chaos treasure.

Similarly, when the operation in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone ended, it would be time for the real show to begin!

……

Thud!

Just as Lin Xun entered the Gate of Ruination, he was so exhausted that his body gave in and collapsed on the platform. A wave of indescribable fatigue and pain swept over him.

Although he finally emerged victorious in the battle and successfully entered the Gate of Ruination, he paid an extremely high price for it. He was on the brink of collapse, with his body threatening to fall apart.

He could barely lift his finger.

Fatigue hit his mind and body like a crashing wave, making him fall into a state of emptiness and numbness.

In the end, he succumbed to his exhaustion and fell unconscious.

On the inside of the Gate of Ruination, great dao law power morphed into a cascade of light, swirling gracefully in the air. Its brilliance could instill terror even in the hearts of mighty Emperors.

The most magical thing was that when the great dao law power neared Lin Xun, they were instantly dissolved by the platform beneath him.

Not long after Lin Xun lost consciousness, the platform seemed to be summoned and carried him deeper into the Gate of Ruination...
