The Prodigies War

A sharp pain ripped through his primordial spirit, and Huanglong Zhenjun could not help letting out a muffled groan of agony. Just as he was on the verge of collapse, the laws of the battlefield surged, forcibly pulling him back from the brink of death.

Buzz—

Spiritual light swirled. Huanglong Zhenjun’s primordial spirit was expelled from the battlefield and appeared outside, where several powerful figures immediately rushed forward to stabilize him.

“How is this possible?!” he roared in fury. “My dao foundation has been almost completely destroyed!”

The cultivators nearby felt their hearts tremble. Even if there were any hope of repairing such catastrophic damage to one’s dao foundation, it would require countless years and unimaginable effort.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun had already returned to the Five Elements Heavenly Pass. Seeing Huanglong Zhenjun’s twisted, agonized expression from afar, he could not help but chuckle. “You said you’d make me admit defeat wholeheartedly. But now you’re the one in pain, with your dao foundation crippled.”

“Sooner or later, I swear I will eradicate you!” Huanglong Zhenjun hissed, his eyes burning crimson with hatred. To him, this blow was nothing short of devastating. With his dao foundation shattered, he had effectively lost any chance of competing for the opportunity to enter the All-Wonder Dominion.

“Why wait for another day?” Lin Xun smiled faintly. “You can challenge me to a life or death battle right now. It’s no big deal fighting another round.”

Huanglong Zhenjun was nearly driven mad with rage. He was about to speak when the figures around him hurriedly stopped him. At a time like this, what was the point of saying anything more?

“Let’s go.” Ying Tiansheng took a deep breath and finally spoke, leading everyone away. They had already decided to retreat. The only reason they had waited until now was because they feared that if Huanglong Zhenjun were left alone, Lin Xun might seize the opportunity to kill him outright.

Soon after, Jiang Mingshui, Zhu Tianjun, and Sage Emperor Kong Yu also departed. From beginning to end, these old monsters remained silent, their faces dark and gloomy. When their figures finally vanished, the area before the Five Elements Heavenly Pass suddenly became completely deserted.

The spectators in the distance wisely chose not to approach. After witnessing that battle, how could they not understand that with Lin Xun stationed here, this heavenly pass would be virtually unassailable?!

“Let’s go...otherwise there’s no chance at all.”

Some of the old monsters even shook their heads and chose to leave.

“Today’s events will surely shake the entire Fate Lotus World again...” someone murmured.

Today, the five great factions led by Ying Tiansheng, Jiang Mingshui, Zhu Tianjun, Huanglong Zhenjun, and Sage Emperor Kongyu had joined forces, assembling nearly fifty terrifying old monsters to lay down an unparalleled killing trap for Lin Xun before the Five Elements Heavenly Pass. However, the moment Lin Xun appeared, the entire situation was completely overturned!

First, he unleashed three thousand clones, breaking through layer after layer of deadly formations to rescue Daoist Shanfeng and his group. Then, he seized the momentum and took control of the Five Elements Heavenly Pass!

After that came eighteen consecutive battles of victory or defeat. One powerful old monster after another stepped onto the battlefield, including Lu Zhongyan and Domain Lord Chengtu, only to be utterly crushed by Lin Xun!

In the end, even Huanglong Zhenjun was defeated, his dao foundation shattered, and his fighting spirit completely crushed. The five great camps were forced to retreat in fury and humiliation.

As for Lin Xun, his eighteen consecutive victories had forged a bloody and dazzling miracle before the Five Elements Heavenly Pass today! Throughout the ages, none had ever attained the Immeasurable Realm in the Sea of Fate. However, Lin Xun had done it.

In all of history, no one had ever won eighteen consecutive battles of victory and defeat. However, Lin Xun had achieved it too!

Never before had any newly ascended Immeasurable Realm cultivator possessed such heaven-defying combat power! One could easily imagine the earth-shaking waves this news would stir once it spread throughout the Fate Lotus World.

......

Sure enough, it happened that very day. What happened before the Five Elements Heavenly Pass spread like a raging storm, sweeping across the Fate Lotus World and plunging it into unprecedented turmoil!

Upon hearing the news, Du Feng, the leader of the Buddhist Epoch, could not help but let out a long sigh. “This brat’s momentum is already established. Killing him now...will be difficult.”

Whether in the previous Fate Lotus World or this one, his faction had never taken direct action against Lin Xun. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to. Rather, he knew all too well that in this Fate Lotus World, there were countless old monsters who wished Lin Xun dead. Even without lifting a finger himself, someone else would surely take action.

However, Du Feng had never imagined that even after five major camps joined forces, Ying Tiansheng and the others would still suffer a crushing defeat before the Five Elements Heavenly Pass! This news was nothing short of a catastrophic blow to Du Feng and his group.

“If I had known it would come to this, I should have joined forces with Ying Tiansheng and the others from the very beginning.” An old monster from the Buddhist Epoch said with a deep frown.

He knew very well that it was already too late for regrets now. Still, he couldn’t shake the bitterness in his heart.

“Although that brat is heaven-defying, he is not truly invincible yet. We must not let this throw us into disarray,” Du Feng said softly.

......

“Even Huanglong Zhenjun was defeated by him. Could it be that his current strength already surpasses the giants of this realm...perhaps even rivalling Demoness Su Wanjun?”

The atmosphere within the Shamanic Epoch camp was equally heavy.

“He may not be her equal yet, but he is certainly among the strongest in the Sea of Fate.”

“Who could have imagined that someone who has only just entered the Immeasurable Realm would already be so terrifying?”

“It seems Leisong and the other members of the Shaman Sect were all killed by that brat...”

Amid the discussion, Weng Xinghai, the leader of the Shamanic Epoch, remained silent. From the moment he received the news, he had not spoken a single word. His wrinkled face carried a complex, inscrutable expression.

Only after a long while did he finally speak in a low, hoarse voice, “That brat will come for us sooner or later. If not this time...then the next. We...must all be prepared.”

His words sent a chill through the crowd.

......

The news continued to spread. On this day, the Fate Lotus World was destined to be thrown into chaos. Of course, at the Five Elements Heavenly Pass, it was a completely different scene.

“Come, drink!”

Xing Jianxia and the others sat cross-legged atop the pass, wine jars set beside them as they drank boldly and freely, laughter ringing through the air. Their expressions were relaxed, carefree, and brimming with joy.

When fortune smiled, one must drink to the fullest! They had never imagined that after today’s bloody calamity, they would not only survive, but also firmly occupy the Five Elements Heavenly Pass, with no external enemies daring to come and provoke them again.

“Haha! Speaking of which, we really ought to thank Young Friend Lin Xun. In this epoch’s Great Dao Contest, even Old Baize and I had already lost all hope. After all, even if all of us joined forces, we couldn’t have seized a single heavenly pass, let alone dream of competing for the Fate Lotus Dao Altar.” Daoist Shanfeng burst into hearty laughter. “But now, thanks to Young Friend Lin Xun, we get to drink our fill on this Five Elements Heavenly Pass. This is damn satisfying!”

Mo Baize, Mu Zhangyun, and the others couldn’t help but laugh along. Even the usually taciturn Xiao He revealed a rare smile. Recalling everything that had happened that day, their hearts still surged with lingering excitement.

“We never expected that on our very first day in the Fate Lotus World, our enemies would be so eager to make their move. Fortunately, Young Friend Lin Xun was here to turn the tide and quell the murderous calamity!” Xing Jianxia said with a sigh.

Lin Xun could only smile helplessly. From the start of the banquet until now, these old fellows had been showering him with praise, leaving him no room to be modest at all.

“Young Friend Lin Xun, I salute you.” Xun Daoyan, standing to one side, raised his wine jar, his voice booming with hearty laughter.

Divine Lord Linglong also lifted her cup with a gentle smile, her beautiful eyes resting on Lin Xun.

Lin Xun smiled in return and drained his drink. Throughout it all, Xia Zhi sat quietly beside Lin Xun, fully absorbed in eating and drinking.

Not long after the battle ended, Lin Xun released Xia Zhi from the Eternity Boat and introduced her to the Daoist Shanfeng and the other old monsters. Instinctively, they all regarded Xia Zhi as Lin Xun’s close companion and treated her with great courtesy and enthusiasm.

However, Xia Zhi was far too aloof. She had eyes only for Lin Xun, which made the old monsters tactful enough not to disturb her. After the banquet ended, Lin Xun sat alone with Xia Zhi and said softly, “From today onward, you can focus on cultivating the power of Fate here.”

Xia Zhi’s current strength was roughly comparable to Lin Xun’s at the peak of the Law Transcendence Realm. Within the Fate Lotus World, the most complete and pure power of the Fate Principles permeated everything, allowing Xia Zhi to sense and absorb it directly.

In such an environment, she would be able to refine the sealed power within her body in the shortest possible time. It should be noted that what lay sealed within Xia Zhi was the entire cultivation of the Eternal Night Divine Emperor, an existence who had most likely survived nine Great Silence Unlife Calamities.

Once that sealed power was refined, Xia Zhi’s strength would undoubtedly soar to unprecedented heights!

“Hm.” Xia Zhi nodded lightly. “I’ll begin cultivating now.”

Lin Xun was rather surprised. This was the first time he had ever seen Xia Zhi take the initiative to cultivate. In the past, she had done little besides eating and sleeping, showing almost no interest in cultivation at all...

Xia Zhi glanced at Lin Xun, as if reading his thoughts, and explained calmly, “Here, I can sense a deeper and more complete aura of Fate Principles. It’s making the power within my body restless. I’ve never felt this before.”

A thoughtful look appeared on Lin Xun’s face

Could it be that these nine heavenly passes were the very core source of the Fate Principles’ origin power?

Before he could think any further, Xia Zhi had already sat down cross-legged. She extended her fair, jade-like hands into the void, her clear star-like eyes slowly closing.

Buzz—

Very soon, a crystalline, dreamlike strand descended from the heavens and drifted gently into her palms. Gradually, her hands were enveloped in radiant, ethereal light, as ripples of obscure and mysterious Fate power spread outward.

Incredibly pure!

As time passed, the Fate Principle power raining down from the heavens grew stronger and stronger, like a vast cascade of luminous white starlight, completely submerging Xia Zhi’s graceful figure in a halo of holiness and transcendence.

Even though Lin Xun had witnessed such a scene before, his heart was still deeply shaken. The Principles of Fate! Even someone as powerful and terrifying as Su Wanjun, an existence who had spent thirteen epochs wandering the Sea of ​​Fate in relentless pursuit, had only managed to grasp a superficial fragment of the Principles of Fate.

In contrast, Xia Zhi could directly sense and draw upon the very source of the Fate Principles themselves. How could such an ability not be heaven-defying?

In the distance, Xing Jianxia and the others appeared, clearly alarmed by the disturbance and hastening over to investigate. When they saw Xia Zhi refining the power of the Fate Principles, all of the old monsters were struck dumb, their hearts surging with indescribable shock.

Only then did they finally realize that they had gravely underestimated Lin Xun’s peerlessly beautiful companion...
