The Prodigies War

Initially, Lin Xun had still had some respect for Alpha Origin. While the other party was an enemy on his cultivation path, his poise barely had a match among everyone Lin Xun had ever seen. However, learning that Luo Tongtian had died at the hands of Alpha Origin, he could not help but feel intense hatred and disgust.

There was no doubt that Alpha Origin was an extremely ruthless opponent. In addition, there was no denying he was so powerful that he no longer cared to cover up anything he did or said, just like how he was acting at this moment.

“It seems that we are destined to be enemies and nothing else.” Lin Xun took a deep breath and said calmly, “No more words are needed. Show me what you got.”

Alpha Origin was a little reluctant. “You're throwing away your chance to go to the Realm of All Mysteries, I'm afraid. It saddens me that my true form will never get to compete with you.”

Lin Xun only looked at him quietly, refusing to say another word. However, his qi had long been operating at maximum capacity.

Seeing this, Alpha Origin smiled and rose to his feet. “As you said, I'm but a Will Dharma Form, so if I were to fight you, I must strike where it hurts most.”

Saying that, he glowed. His tall, lean figure seemingly became colossal all of a sudden as an unimaginably terrifying aura spread from it.

BOOM!

The billions of flames in the nearby space shook in unison, as if swearing allegiance. The law power covering this piece of heaven and earth seemed to have been drained at once, converging on Alpha Origin's right palm.

An indescribable throbbing sensation ran through every fiber of Lin Xun's being. The talent power located in his heart meridian grew agitated like an animal who was sensing approaching danger.

“I have long gained control of the primal chaos origin of this realm that gave birth to the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer. With only a thought, I can suppress and command any talent that was born here.” In a leisurely and monotone voice, Alpha Origin's right hand grasped at the air. “This naturally includes your Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer, Young Friend!”

Boom!

Even though Lin Xun had been fully prepared to fight back, he still felt a pressure so heavy that it was almost substantial when the power of the grab blanketed him. Without hesitation, he waved his sleeve. Endless dao light surged forth to block this grasping force. Upon their collision, the whole region quaked and the void collapsed in all directions.

In the rolling energy waves, Lin Xun's parry was a success. However, he felt a sharp pain in his heart meridian as if an invisible hand was clutching the innate talent in there and was violently yanking it out. It was the kind of pain inflicted when cutting one open and ripping out their internal organs.

Lin Xun's face twisted slightly. It was no doubt an attempt at his innate talent. The particularly fatal part was that even though he was running his entire cultivation base, he was unable to suppress it. Not only was the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer not resisting, but it also seemed desperate to leave his body!

“My young friend, you have no way to resist it. The power I am wielding to your Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer is like its mother and its home. No matter what you try, there is only one outcome: it will leave you.”

In the distance, Alpha Origin had a calm smile on his face, looking nothing but relaxed. “Your great-grandfather, Luo Tongtian, once lost his innate talent here. Now, it's your turn.”

Lin Xun's face was pale. Chills ran up and down his back. He was doing his best to control the innate talent in his heart meridian, but the more time passed, the more it edged closer to spinning out of control. If he allowed it to be stripped away, it would definitely deal a fatal blow to his whole cultivation base.

After all, his dao had long been integrated into the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer principle, all of which was now a part of his cultivation road. Take it away, and this road was bound to be severely damaged. In that scenario, even if he somehow managed to leave this space alive, there would still be no hope to rebuild what he had lost!

“Such is karma, you pull one hair and the whole body jerks, not to mention that the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer has accompanied you since your birth. It is the root of your inceptive dao. When the root is gone, what dao is there to speak of?” Alpha Origin murmured. This was not complacency, but instead a casual talk one would have with a friend, but it only went to show how terrifyingly extraordinary Alpha Origin's mentality was.

“Your master Old Bodhi probably has never imagined that the sole variable he waited ages for would be ruined on the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer talent. If I tell him...it should smother his desire to continue this game of chess with me, don't you think?” Alpha Origin kept mumbling.

He didn't take advantage of this moment to attack. At the end of the day, he was just a Will Dharma Form. He would never give Lin Xun a hint of a chance to defeat him before he was done taking away the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer talent.

“Pfft!” Lin Xun suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood, his face turning white as a sheet. His qi tumbled and shrieked, bursting with a boundless power that astonished even Alpha Origin in a visible way.

“To think that you've already surpassed the level of Immeasurable Dao Lord, and you even vaguely show the might of an Immeasurable Sovereign...” Alpha Origin commented.

He indeed had not expected that Lin Xun's dao had already been tempered to such an extent despite him having just arrived at the fourth sky zone of the Realm of All Spirits. However, this surprise quickly turned into a smile. Although Lin Xun's aura was incredibly powerful, he was clearly on the verge of losing his grip on the innate talent in his body!

“Whether it's your master, or Chen Xi, or the golden cicada, they are waiting for you, the variable. They also know that my true self, who is imprisoned under the sword seal, is waiting for your arrival as well. They probably never imagined the possibility of you falling prematurely before even reaching the Realm of All Mysteries.”

Alpha Origin talked like he was chatting with an old friend. “But be at ease. I'm only taking those things I have listed before. I will not harm your life. After all, there have been far too few I can take seriously during these countless moons.

“Your character and courage are worthy of admiration, beyond a doubt. Who knows, perhaps my true form can bring you along to the Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders one day, that way my path won't be too lonely.”

Just as he said this, Lin Xun suddenly looked up at him with a touch of mockery surfacing on his pale cheeks. “You think you've won?”

Alpha Origin was startled. “You’re saying you still have a chance to wiggle out of this?”

“Wiggle?” Lin Xun laughed and strode up into the void towards Alpha Origin. At the same time, his raging qi underwent an amazing change. He was like a phoenix reborn in the fire, like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon.

In the vision of Alpha Origin's spirit sense, the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer in Lin Xun that he was seizing also metamorphosed into something completely new. As Alpha Origin tried to inspect the phenomenon in depth, his sense was suddenly cut off from the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer! The event took him by surprise but before he could react, Lin Xun had charged in.

Kapow!

Lin Xun punched out. It was a straight and casual punch yet filled with unfathomable supreme power. Alpha Origin's sleeves danced as he countered it.

Bang!

The next second, Alpha Origin was blasted away. His aura churned chaotically, showing signs of collapsing.

“Go!” Alpha Origin pointed a finger at the air. The billions of flames in the nearby space immediately shot up, forming an endless sea of fire that dropped down on Lin Xun.

Boom!

Lin Xun spread his arms. Like ten thousand streams returning to their source, the flame ocean was swallowed into his figure to the last trickle. They were all innate talents birthed in this realm, but he had inhaled them clean like a whale, and it made Alpha Origin's pupils shrink.

“Now, do you still think that all my master's efforts are in vain?” Lin Xun asked flatly.

Alpha Origin sighed, “You’re truly an unprecedented variable. If my guess is correct, then the fact that you were able to detain the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer and even cause it to metamorphose has to do with the Nirvana Principle?”

“That’s right.” Lin Xun once again charged at Alpha Origin.

However, the latter waved his hand. “No need to fight, I will simply disappear.”

Lin Xun did not stop. He deployed another punch, blasting it through the air. Alpha Origin was so surprised that he froze a little.

Bang!

The punch sent him flying again. Disheveled and cutting a sorry figure, the Will Dharma Form looked like it was close to starting to disperse, which signified a rapid loss of power.

“Weren't you so smug just now? It's only fair that I get my turn too,” Lin Xun leisurely said.

The corners of Alpha Origin's lips twitched slightly. He shook his head and sighed. “I’m but a Will Dharma Form. Why do you have to be so petty?”

Boom!

The next instant, he was blasted flying once more. His figure became illusory and disintegrated.

“Can't call this petty after how disgusted you've made me feel. I need to vent it,” Lin Xun nonchalantly said.

“Hahaha, interesting.” Alpha Origin actually threw his head back and laughed loudly. “Perhaps you are the variable that my true form is waiting for. When you arrive at the Realm of All Mysteries, my young friend, I may have to find you and have my payback for this.”

His voice was still echoing when his figure crumbled into nothingness. Lin Xun lowered his ready fist in dissatisfaction. This fellow's Will Dharma Form was strong, but it couldn't take a beating!

“Phew~~” Lin Xun exhaled a long breath and looked around. The infinite flames had been devoured by him, but in the void, many more were currently being born.

Lin Xun looked inside himself to see that the flames he had swallowed had turned into various innate abilities, packing him to the brim. He operated his cultivation base and refined them one by one. Turning into wisps of pure primal chaos origin power, they were integrated into his dao.

All of a sudden, an indescribably marvelous realization arose in his mind. A long time later, he muttered, “Alpha Origin didn't lie to me, the primal chaos origin here is indeed capable of creating and nurturing innate talents like a living womb. Alpha Origin used this very power to rob my talent, and he almost succeeded...”

This kind of primal chaos origin was called ‘Spirit Empowerment.’ It was precisely the emergence of the Spirit Empowerment Origin that had diversified life and allowed the various beings in the universe to possess different talents!

It was at this moment that Lin Xun finally understood why Alpha Origin thought this piece of heaven and earth was a corner of the Forbidden Zone of Life. This Spirit Empowerment Origin was indeed related to some of the profound principles of life!
