The Prodigies War

The Two Polarities Heavenly Pass. Built upon a vast and desolate desert, it loomed like a dark mountain beneath the heavens, rising thousands of feet into the sky.

“Lin Xun has already established his might. The camp centered around him has become one of the most powerful forces in this Fate Lotus World. Trying to destroy him now is no different from attempting to ascend to heaven.”

On the Two Polarities Heavenly Pass, Sage Emperor Kong Yu let out a long sigh. In this Fate Lotus World, hundreds of old monsters had gathered, forming countless factions and camps.

Among them, only a handful could truly be considered top-tier forces. These were precisely the factions led by Du Feng of the Buddhist Epoch, Weng Xinghai of the Shamanic Epoch, Guan Qianqiu of the Dao Epoch, and Huanglong Zhenjun...

In addition to them, there were also Su Wanjun, Chi Qianji, and Yi Wuyin, lone cultivators whose strength was so terrifying that no one dared provoke them. As for the factions led by Ying Tiansheng, Jiang Mingshui, Zhu Tianjun, and Sage Emperor Kong Yu, they could at best be regarded as first-rate forces.

Of course, first-rate forces often chose to form alliances, allowing their combined strength to contend with even the top-tier forces. For example, at the Two Polarities Heavenly Pass, the two great factions of Sage Emperor Kong Yu and Jiang Mingshui had joined hands. Together, their combined power was already enough to rival any top-tier force.

“No different from attempting to ascend to heaven...?” Jiang Mingshui’s face sank.

He naturally understood what Sage Emperor Kong Yu meant. If the camp led by Lin Xun was now regarded as a top-tier force, then it meant that in this Fate Lotus World, they were nearly impossible to defeat.

“The most troublesome part is that this boy harbors deep hatred toward us. For the foreseeable future, I’m afraid this Fate Lotus World won’t know peace.” Sage Emperor Kong Yu’s eyes flashed. “Yesterday, I proposed that Ying Tiansheng and Zhu Tianjun continue their alliance with us. At the very least, if Lin Xun chooses to retaliate, we might still stand a chance to resist him, and perhaps even kill him. But...”

At that, he couldn’t help but let out another sigh. It was impossible for the major forces to cooperate wholeheartedly. After all, they were all rivals, especially when it came to seizing the Fate Lotus Dao Altar, where even allies could instantly become mortal enemies.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for different camps to be of one mind and advance or retreat together. When Lin Xun launched his revenge, each faction could only fend for itself. There was no hope of truly uniting as one.

Sensing the heavy atmosphere, Jiang Mingshui smiled faintly. “It’s fine. With our two great camps joining forces this time, guarding the Two Polarities Heavenly Pass should pose no problem.”

Sage Emperor Kong Yu exhaled slowly. “If we can hold out until the time comes to compete for the Fate Lotus Dao Altar, that would naturally be best. But when that time arrives...”

He turned his gaze toward Jiang Mingshui, his tone sharpening slightly, “I don’t wish to see any cracks appear in our alliance.”

Jiang Mingshui narrowed his eyes and cupped his hands. “Rest assured, Fellow Daoist. When it comes to seizing the Fate Lotus Dao Altar, my camp will cooperate with you to the fullest!”

Sage Emperor Kong Yu laughed heartily. “With that promise, I can finally set my mind at ease.”

Just then...

“Laughing so happily? Could it be that some good news has come your way today?” A calm voice drifted over from the distance. In that instant, the smile on Sage Emperor Kong Yu’s face froze. Jiang Mingshui’s pupils contracted, and the expressions of everyone present changed in unison.

In the distance, the figures of Lin Xun, Xun Daoyan, and Divine Lord Linglong could be seen streaking toward them.

“Lin Xun!”

“He actually came to the Two Polarities Heavenly Pass...”

“This is going to be interesting!”

Around the pass, many old monsters were watching from afar. When they recognized Lin Xun and the others, they were first startled, then their eyes lit up with uncontrollable excitement.

The battle that took place outside the Five Elements Heavenly Pass yesterday had already shaken the world. Now, Lin Xun had come charging straight to the Two Polarities Heavenly Pass! Who could possibly fail to see that Lin Xun had come for revenge?

“Damn it!”

Jiang Mingshui’s face turned ashen, shock and fury twisting together in his expression. He had never imagined that Lin Xun’s revenge would come so fast, nor that they would be his very first target! The old monsters of both camps all wore grim, heavy expressions.

“Lin Xun, you were able to remain invincible yesterday only because you were protected by the Five Elements Heavenly Pass,” Sage Emperor Kong Yu said coldly, drawing in a slow breath. “Now that you’ve come here, once news spreads, are you not afraid of being surrounded and exterminated on the spot?”

Lin Xun burst into laughter. “I’ve only just arrived, and you’re already threatening me like this? What? Are you afraid?”

In the past, whenever their enemy appeared, Sage Emperor Kong Yu and the others would have been overjoyed. Now, their faces were deathly pale. Clearly, after yesterday’s battle, these old monsters had all been left with lingering fear! Otherwise, they would never have resorted to such empty threats.

“Afraid? Ridiculous. What would we be afraid of?” Sage Emperor Kong Yu sneered, “On the contrary, without you guarding the Five Elements Heavenly Pass, it would likely be taken.”

“Mind your own business. What does that have to do with you, Kong Yu?” Xun Daoyan laughed loudly.

Sage Emperor Kong Yu’s expression instantly darkened. His voice turned icy. “Are you really going to fight us to the death?”

The air grew heavy with killing intent. At that moment, Lin Xun raised his hand and struck the Great Dao Ring Monument engraved with ‘Life or Death’ from afar. That was his answer!

The entire audience sucked in a sharp breath, their hearts trembling. Domineering! Absolutely domineering! Compared to Sage Emperor Kong Yu’s repeated verbal threats, Lin Xun’s action was overflowing with boundless confidence and supreme arrogance. In front of such an act, any words seemed pale and powerless.

For Sage Emperor Kong Yu and Jiang Mingshui, Lin Xun’s action was like a bolt from the blue, striking without warning! They had never expected him to be so ruthless and decisive, launching a life or death battle the instant he appeared.

What now?

Sage Emperor Kong Yu and Jiang Mingshui exchanged glances, both shocked and furious. They had already witnessed Lin Xun’s terrifying combat power. In a true life or death duel, how many among their two great camps could truly contend with him?

Unfortunately, the situation left them no room to refuse! They had no choice but to accept the challenge! Otherwise, after thirty breaths, they would be forcibly expelled from the Two Polarities Heavenly Pass!

Buzz—

With a surge of shimmering law light, a life or death battlefield materialized out of thin air. All eyes immediately turned toward Sage Emperor Kong Yu and Jiang Mingshui atop the heavenly pass, everyone eagerly wondering who the two great camps would send into battle.

“This is intolerable!” Sage Emperor Kong Yu roared. “Everyone, forget about the Two Polarities Heavenly Pass! We must kill this beast!”

“Exactly!” Jiang Mingshui roared, murderous intent raging around him. “Instead of fighting him one by one in life or death duels, we might as well go all out and crush him together!”

The crowd erupted in an uproar, shock written all over their faces. Abandon the Two Polarities Heavenly Gate?! Didn’t this mean that even giants like Sage Emperor Kong Yu and Jiang Mingshui didn’t dare to face Lin Xun in a true life or death battle?

Even Lin Xun was momentarily taken aback. Then he burst into loud laughter. “Haha! It seems I overestimated you all.”

His voice resounded across heaven and earth. The mockery in those words made Sage Emperor Kong Yu and Jiang Mingshui’s faces burn, their hearts surging with rage and humiliation.

“Kill!”

Without wasting another word, Sage Emperor Kong Yu roared and led the old monsters of the Confucian Epoch in a headlong charge. Almost simultaneously, Jiang Mingshui led his entire camp into the fray.

Boom!

In an instant, heaven and earth seemed to change color as blazing divine radiance exploded across the desert. The two factions together numbered more than twenty old monsters, each radiating a terrifying aura. With all of them moving at once, it was like a host of gods marching to war.

“Retreat!” The spectators in the surrounding area all turned pale and scattered in retreat, terrified of being caught in the crossfire.

Xun Daoyan and Divine Lord Linglong exchanged a glance, their expressions turning solemn as they prepared for battle. Lin Xun remained calm and composed, while a blazing fighting intent quietly ignited deep within his unfathomable eyes.

Compared to one-on-one duels, he preferred this kind of chaotic melee even more! It was just that...

The next moment, he froze. Xun Daoyan and Divine Lord Linglong froze as well, their expressions stiffening. Then, even the spectators who had already retreated to a safe distance froze in shock.

At that moment, the old monsters from the camps led by Sage Emperor Kong Yu and Jiang Mingshui, who had just charged out with overwhelming momentum, suddenly erupted with all their power and teleported straight into the void, fleeing into the distance the instant they broke through the Two Polarities Heavenly Pass...

They escaped faster than anyone else. Each one swift, decisive and without the slightest hesitation. Who could have believed such a reversal?

Who would have imagined that Lin Xun’s arrival would frighten two great factions led by Sage Emperor Kong Yu and Jiang Mingshui into abandoning the Two Polarities Heavenly Pass and fleeing in panic?

However, everything happened too abruptly. By the time Lin Xun and the others reacted, it was already too late to give chase.

“Those old fellows...they’ve completely lost their backbone.” Lin Xun’s lips twitched. He never expected something this absurd to happen.

“If they fought head-on, they would’ve had to pay a heavy price. Better to retreat and preserve their strength, even if it means losing face.” Xun Daoyan said with a strange expression, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “Still...they ran a little too fast.”

Divine Lord Linglong frowned slightly. “This is troublesome. If we leave now, they’ll definitely come back and reclaim the Two Polarities Heavenly Pass. But if we stay here, something is bound to happen at the Five Elements Heavenly Pass.”

Lin Xun suddenly swept his gaze across the surroundings and spoke loudly, “Everyone, the Two Polarities Heavenly Pass is now ownerless. I have no intention of forcibly occupying it. If any of you wish to take it, you may do so now.”

Those words made the old monsters in the distance exchange glances, their hearts instantly surging with excitement. Who would have expected such an opportunity to fall from the heavens?

However, they quickly calmed themselves. They all knew that once Lin Xun and his group left, Sage Emperor Kong Yu and Jiang Mingshui would certainly return and reclaim the Two Polarities Heavenly Pass. That was a threat they could not ignore.

Then Lin Xun spoke again, and his next words completely dispelled their worries. “Don’t worry, everyone. If those fellows dare to come back, just send me a message. I will come and kill them at once!”

The entire area erupted in excitement, and the eyes of those old monsters lit up. This was perfect!

“Fellow Daoist Lin, how may we contact you?” an old monster couldn’t help but ask.

Lin Xun smiled and flicked his hand. A talisman flew through the air and landed before them. “Just crush this talisman, and I will know at once.”

“Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Lin!” The old monster’s face lit up with delight as he carefully put the talisman away.
