The Prodigies War

The line of blood cut through the army of over three hundred Heavenly Mandate Apostles, taking the lives of close to thirty Immeasurable Eternals. Their physical shells and primordial spirits were squashed to ashes.

That strike was plain terrifying! A dead silence took over the peripheral area of the imperial city. Lin Xun moved like an invulnerable and unstoppable sword. When he came to a halt, the enemy army was already a mess.

The spectators' jaws were on the ground as they shuddered. Even a long time later, they still couldn't snap back to reality from that gory scene of death. With one strike, he wrecked the enemies and blew a scarlet path through them!

Those who had fallen were all experts of the Immeasurable Realm, each possessing a powerful dao base, but under Lin Xun's attack, they had been as helpless as paper! Who dared to believe this?

Everyone had been pondering how Lin Xun would survive this calamity, and then this scene had unfolded. Their shock could be imagined!

In the teahouse, Xing Jianxia and Fu Nanli had been struck dumb. It suddenly hit them that Lin Xun was currently far more powerful and terrifying than when they had last seen him. Faced with a big group of same-realm experts, he was able to sweep through them in an invincible manner!

The two seniors had no idea that even back in the Sea of Fate, Lin Xun had already reached the intermediate level of the Immeasurable Realm and achieved all daos become one, all arts become one, and all living things become one. His cultivation prowess had long since undergone a monumental transformation.

He appeared to be bare-handed, but he had fully integrated the power of his five dao bodies and the might of the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron into his very being. Therefore, every strike he unleashed now far surpassed the limit of what an ordinary same-realm cultivator could endure.

Under the firmament, the atmosphere was so oppressive that one could hardly breathe. Under the fear that the previous attack had struck into them, the expressions of those Heavenly Mandate Apostles kept morphing and their hearts were in turmoil.

Before coming here, they had learned of Lin Xun killing more than a dozen Heavenly Mandate Apostles in the capital of Qing, which had given them immense pressure. As such, they had grouped up, thinking over three hundred of them together was enough against him.

Judging by the current situation, however, it seemed they had still underestimated his terror! Such an opponent was not something that could be fought with quantity!

Lin Xun gazed at these opponents and asked, “Do you still want to keep going?”

The simple question rattled their hearts again. They exchanged looks among themselves, no one spoke.

Seeing this, Lin Xun casually said, “If any of you are still here after three breaths of time, I will see you as enemies that must be exterminated.”

Whoosh~

Those Heavenly Mandate Apostles scattered like frightened birds as soon as they heard that declaration, each one running faster than the last.

In less than three breaths, there were no more opponents on the field.

As expected, they are really just a motley crew. Lin Xun thought. Destroy their fighting spirit with a single blow, and they will dismantle themselves!

Outside the imperial capital, the spectators had been shocked speechless by what they had seen. A single sword had cut through the sky, opened a path of blood, and scared off an army! Such dashing elegance was unsurpassed in this cultivation realm and earned a crown of its own!

“My fellow cultivators, there's nothing left for your viewing pleasure here. It is time you leave.” Lin Xun's indifferent voice resounded outside the imperial capital.

Very quickly, the experts who had come here from all corners of this world left one after another with their hearts tumbling in complicated emotions. On the same day, the story of Lin Xun deterring hundreds of enemies with a single sword strike spread. It rapidly reached and shook the whole Mortal Transformation Zone, triggering a huge uproar.

It became clear to everyone that from this day on, no one in the Mortal Transformation Zone would dare to offend Lin Xun again, let alone fight him in the Dao Competition.

......

In that teahouse in the capital of Qing, looking at Lin Xun who had returned in a relaxed demeanor, Xing Jianxia and Fu Nanli became sentimental. Even though they were Immeasurable Eternals like him, they were now very aware, through the battle just now, that they and Lin Xun were no longer in the same world. The gap in strength was too big!

After staying for a few more days, Xing Jianxia and Fu Nanli left the imperial city. Being in the Mortal Transformation Zone, they needed to devise their own plan for the Dao Competition as well.

As for Lin Xun and Xia Zhi, they once again arrived at a certain building deep in the palace grounds.

“After you enter the Calamitous Zone, remember to wait for me in front of the Test of Past Life,” Lin Xun repeated what he had already said over and over again.

“Lin Xun, I'm not a child anymore, you know,” Xia Zhi complained for once.

Lin Xun was stumped. In the end, he laughed at himself and joked, “My bad, I forgot that you're no weaker than the Eternal Night Divine Emperor now. Alright, I'll pay attention from now on and try not to treat you like a child.”

Xia Zhi, however, shook her head. Her fair, soft hand grabbed Lin Xun's hand as her pleasant voice tinkled, “No need to change, I like how it makes me feel.”

Xia Zhi's fingers were soft and warm. Lin Xun couldn't help but tighten his hold on them, and feeling the warmth of her palm, his voice softened, “After the whole business in the All-Wonder Dominion is resolved, I'll take you back to the Fortune Dominion and give you the grand wedding you deserve.”

“You promised.” A bright smile bloomed on Xia Zhi's stunning face. Her clear, beautiful eyes curved up like two crescent moons. She never concealed her joy in front of Lin Xun.

Lin Xun couldn't stop himself from dropping a soft kiss on her forehead. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, “Go.”

“Mhm.” Xia Zhi turned toward the imperial seal. The jade seal was square, fist-sized but heavy with a majestic air. With mountains and rivers, the sun, moon, and stars engraved on the surfaces, its aura was extremely powerful.

When Xia Zhi's power swept at it, the imperial seal suddenly glowed, reflecting a figure. He tread on the planets and stood among the galaxy, fully covered in dark silver armor that revealed only his cold, handsome face.

In his hand was a golden halberd. It emitted a force field that took merely one breath to tug at the countless stars and run a tremor through them, elevating its wielder into a supreme god of war in legend. When this person appeared, Lin Xun's Jade Book of Merits trembled, and information about this person emerged.

Yan Jiuhe!

Known as War God Kunxu, he had attracted a Chaos Dao Fruit three hundred and ninety thousand years ago to step through the first heavenly gate. His dao merits was ranked 204th in the Heavenly Cycle Dao Laws. This was already an incredible achievement, considering there were only 1614 cultivators who had been able to put their dao merits in the Heavenly Cycle Dao Laws.

Clang!

The second Yan Jiuhe appeared, he swung the golden halberd and chopped it at Xia Zhi. At that instant, the billions of stars in the void around him were as if pulled along and joined the attack. The phenomenon was petrifying. While this Yan Jiuhe was only a manifestation of his dao merits, its power was nothing ordinary, being a Heavenly Cycle Dao Law itself.

Almost simultaneously, Xia Zhi made her move. The white bone spear in her delicate hand stabbed out, sending a river of fate gushing out.

A fierce battle erupted. Lin Xun stood and watched from a distance. After a while, he loosened up. Yan Jiuhe, who was titled War God Kunxu, was no doubt extremely powerful. He was slightly stronger than even Chi Qianji and Tian Xingzi who were all top-notch existences.

However, compared to Xia Zhi, he was not good enough, not in terms of cultivation base but in terms of the Dao Laws they had respectively mastered. After all, whether it was fate, karma, or time, they were all taboo-level laws with power beyond imagination.

In less than ten minutes, BOOM! The bone spear in Xia Zhi's hand suddenly flew up and then slashed down, blasting Yan Jiuhe's dao manifestation into smithereens. He became an explosion of light shooting everywhere.

Under Lin Xun's astonished eyes, an abstruse and inexplicable law power surged forth, bathing Xia Zhi's delicate figure in a dazzling and splendid halo.

“This is the power of a Chaos Dao Fruit!” Lin Xun was shaken.

Chaos Dao Fruits were a kind of natural chaos law born in the All-Wonder Dominion, which was unimaginably powerful. Rumor had it that the more chaos laws one mastered, the more metamorphoses one could achieve in the Immeasurable Realm, and the more hopes one had to transcend this realm in its truest sense.

Lin Xun finally understood: those Immeasurable Dao Lords and Immeasurable Sovereigns had probably absorbed many Chaos Dao Fruits in the All-Wonder Dominion to achieve their current heights! Without a question, Xia Zhi was obtaining a supreme fortune by defeating Yan Jiuhe's dao merits and attracting a Chaos Dao Fruit!

Under Lin Xun’s intent gaze, her aura underwent a miraculous change, soaring like a stream after rain. Just a few breaths later, the great dao power in her had grown a great deal stronger! Even Lin Xun was tempted.

Buzz~

The void suddenly revealed a mysterious portal. It seemed to stand at the infinite heights of the heavens, giving the impression of being impossible to reach. The heavenly gate had appeared!

Xia Zhi's delicate figure swiftly turned into a ray of light and shot straight into this heavenly gate. It had happened so fast that Lin Xun didn't have time to say a word to her.

On that day, in the sky above the imperial capital of the Qing Kingdom, the Heavenly Cycle Dao Law of Yan Jiuhe’s dao merits disappeared, and a new law power emerged.

Starting out as a water steam, this new Dao Law quickly grew to a torrent of fate power that stirred the nine heavens and ten earths. It circled above the imperial capital for a while before spreading to the rest of the Qing Kingdom like it was going on a conquest!

Such a scene astonished cultivators all over the Mortal Transformation Zone. In their respective Jade Book of Merits, a mysterious and powerful Heavenly Cycle Dao Law was added. At the same time, a dao manifestation also emerged in that building deep in the palace grounds. It was a mass of light and shadow, within which was an ocean of fate that was vast and obscure with infinite wonders.

It was the power of dao merits left by Xia Zhi!

......

The southwestern part of the capital of Qing.

Here stood a flourishing Taoist temple. Frequented by a great number of practitioners who came to offer incense and worship, it was incredibly lively. Lin Xun was currently standing before this Taoist temple, his eyes fixed on a copper furnace.

This furnace was ancient and majestic. Standing on three legs, inside it burned a raging dao fire. On its wall were pictures of mysterious flame patterns. This was also a dao manifestation left by a mighty expert who had left the Mortal Transformation Zone. It represented a force in the Heavenly Cycle Dao Laws.

After some observation, Lin Xun clearly perceived that its aura was far inferior to that of the imperial seal left by Yan Jiuhe.

I wonder if defeating this one will let me attract a Chaos Dao Fruit...

Lin Xun contemplated a little and decided to give it a try.
