The Prodigies War

“Hand over the treasures on you, and...then get out of our sights!”

The tall and built man was called Cheng Xiang. He swept a cold look over Jintian Xuanyue and the others.

The girl in green reminded Cheng Xiang in a whisper, “Brother Cheng, they’re Lin Xun’s friends.”

“So what?” Lin Xun has killed many people at the Gate of Ruination, even if he is indeed invincible among us, once he steps out of the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone, do you think those Emperor big shots will let him go?” Cheng Xiang said disdainfully.

“That’s true. Even if he is invincible at the Saint Stage and even if he gets his hand on the chaos treasure, he will surely meet with disaster when he leaves here.” The woman in green thought about it, and her worries melted away.

The contempt that the two showed infuriated Jintian Xuanyue and the others.

At the same time, a feeling of puzzlement arose in their minds.

Lin Xun?

Why does this name sound so familiar...n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

They had gone into hiding soon after entering the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone and knew nothing about the situation in the outside world.

Naturally, they had no idea that Lin Xun was the Jin Duyi who they knew.

“What are you doing standing there? Hand over the treasures right now!” Cheng Xiang thundered, his expression a mix of frustration and deadly intent.

“Don’t tell me you think Lin Xun will come and rescue you now?” The woman in green also wore an ice-cold expression.

Jintian Xuanyue and the others felt their hearts drop. They were completely caught off guard by the deadly attack, especially since they had only just emerged from their hiding place.

At this moment, a calm voice sounded, “Brother Lin won’t come, but I will deal with you on his behalf.”

A figure strode over from the distance. His eyes were as clear as a lake, and his aura was calm and ordinary.

Even so, the sight of him sent Cheng Xiang and the woman trembling in fear and their faces paled.

“Run!” The two bolted as fast as they could.

The figure lightly tapped the air twice.

Pu! Pu!

Thousands of feet away, Cheng Xiang and the woman in green dropped from midair, their heads crushed by a frightening force.

They could not react even before death!

Jintian Xuanyue and the others gasped audibly. A simple, nonchalant gesture was enough to take the lives of two cultivators who were qualified to enter the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone.

This was undoubtedly terrifying!

At the same time, Jintian Xuanyue and the others recognized the figure.

Mi Wuya!

He was the legendary figure who had dominated the top of the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings for six hundred years!

However, none of them could figure out why Mi Wuya, a core disciple of Panwu Dao Court, would save them.

“Quasi-Emperor! No…it’s the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage!” Jintian Xuanyue gasped in shock.

She noticed that Mi Wuya’s aura had surpassed the realm of the Saint Stage and had become even more terrifying and unfathomable than before.

“In ten days, our trip to the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone will be over. If you see Brother Lin, tell him that he must escape to the outside world right away when there’s a chance otherwise...” Mi Wuya left those words and turned away.

He did not finish his sentence.

However, even a fool would understand the meaning behind it.

It was just that…

Jintian Xuanyue and the others couldn’t figure out why Mi Wuya also thought that they knew Lin Xun?

Who was Lin Xun?

Unfortunately, before they could ask Mi Wuya, he had already disappeared into the distance.

“Could it be…Brother Jin?” Leng Xiujia suddenly exclaimed.

“How is that possible? When we were in the Mythical Huang Dao Court, Brother Jin was confirmed to be a disciple of Absolute Origin Dao Court. Would those big shots make such a mistake?” Xie Yuhua frowned.

“Lin Xun...I remember now. That guy caused havoc in the Kunlun Dominion back then, slaughtering experts from various clans and sects and leaving utter carnage in his wake!”

Jintian Xuanyue’s beautiful clear eyes lit up. No wonder she found the name Lin Xun so familiar.

“But Lin Xun did not participate in this Dao Debate Assembly… No, could it be...could it really be Young Master?”

A shiver ran through Jintian Xuanyue’s heart. She realized something. She had always believed that Lin Xun’s real identity was Yu Xuan.

Now it suddenly occurred to her that since the identity of Jin Duyi was fake, then the identity of Yu Xuan could also not be real.

“Yu Xuan…Jin Duyi…Lin Xun…” Jintian Xuanyue murmured, trying to make sense of the words that Mi Wuya left before he disappeared.

The young master whom she greatly admired was most likely Lin Xun!

“From what Mi Wuya said, Young Master...may have already obtained the chaos treasure...”

Jintian Xuanyue’s heart raced with a wave of excitement. “Let’s go! Let’s see if we can find out more about it!”

……

As the date to the end of the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone approached, the place became more and more turbulent, and disturbances were breaking out one after another in different areas.

The news that Mi Wuya had become a supreme Quasi-Emperor rapidly spread and alerted many interested parties.

Soon after that, news came out that Hua Xingli and Ling Hongzhuang had also reached the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage!

It attracted the notice of countless people.

“Breakthroughs in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone avoid triggering taboo calamities!”

When this news came out, everyone was buzzing with excitement

After all, in the Ancient Nebula Road, anyone who wanted to step into the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage only had a very slim chance of succeeding.

Even the most extraordinary talent with the most terrifying foundation was very likely to meet with disaster when they faced the taboo calamity.

For example, in the Primordial Chaos World, it was not uncommon to find quasi-Emperors, but it was extremely rare to see supreme quasi-Emperors.

Even in the Great Six Courts and Great Ten Battle Clans, the number of supreme quasi-Emperors was also limited.

In short, there was a world of difference between ordinary quasi-Emperors and supreme quasi-Emperors!

Thus, when everyone learned that they could avoid the taboo calamity if they broke through in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone, they were all stirred up.

Facts had proved that the rumors were true.

In the following time, supreme Saint-Kings who were regarded as overlords in the Saint Stage broke through one after another and became supreme quasi-Emperors!

“I wonder if Lin Xun has made a breakthrough or not. I want to challenge him again!”

After reaching the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage, some people were eager to make trouble again and turned their attention to Lin Xun.

“Forget about it. We all have broken through to the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage, how would that freak not?”

“We would get ourselves killed if we went to find him!”

However, more people wisely gave up the idea of ​​going up against Lin Xun again.

The earthshaking battle that took place in front of the Gate of Ruination remained vivid in their minds, like a shadow looming over their hearts—one that might never be dispelled in their lifetime.

……

“Is that Mount Heedless?”

Shock and unease gripped Jintian Xuanyue, Xie Yuhua and Leng Xiujia as they gazed at the tremendous mountain shrouded in the aura of destruction from afar.

They had come all the way just to confirm one thing.

“It’s so terrifying. I wonder where the so-called Gate of Ruination is?” Leng Xiujia donned a solemn expression.

“Do we really have to go?”

Xie Yuhua glanced at Jintian Xuanyue.

Jintian Xuanyue was also hesitant. Mount Heedless was known to conceal hidden perils and terrors. If they failed to find Lin Xun and lost their lives there, it would not be worth it at all.

“You don’t need to go, he will definitely come out.”

Suddenly, a voice rang out, and a youthful-looking monk with gentle eyes and shiny forehead appeared out of nowhere.

Ling Kezi!

Jintian Yuanxue and the others recognized him right away.

Ling Kezi seemed to be reassuring Jintian Xuanyue and the others as he added, “I am also waiting for him to return the spoils to him.

Jintian Xuanyue and the others exchanged glances, remaining on guard and alert.

Ling Kezi did not explain much. He looked around and said, “Mount Heedless is vast, but everyone has to pass through here to get to the Gate of Ruination. Similarly, if Lin Xun returns from the Gate of Ruination, he will definitely appear in this area.”

“Huh?”

Suddenly, his pupils shrank, then he scrunched his brows. “You guys are still bent on doing evil. Or perhaps you think you don’t need to be afraid of that guy now that you have reached the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage.”

He flicked his sleeve.

A shower of light flowed out to envelop Jintian Xuanyue and the others beside him. He whispered, “Don’t make a sound.”

Startled, Jintian Xuanyue and the others looked up, only to see that a number of figures had gathered in the distance, each emitting an extremely terrifying aura.

They were led by Jing Tiannan.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Jing Tiannan swept a glance at where Ling Kezi was standing.

Then, he inhaled deeply, and staring at the majestic Mount Heedless, he said aloud, “Everyone, are you sure you want to join me? You should know very well that if Lin Xun has also reached the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage, his strength would be even more terrifying than before.”

Standing beside Jing Tiannan were five powerful cultivators, three core disciples of Heaven and Earth Dao Court, and two core disciples of Panwu Dao Court.

Among them was Shang Ziyan, who had the Dao Lawless Blade taken away by Lin Xun.

Although he was severely wounded in that earthshaking battle earlier, he was fortunate to have survived.

Now that he had ascended to the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage, he wanted to retrieve the Dao Lawless Blade!

“If the situation turns unfavorable, I have my own means to deal with it” He said expressionlessly in response to Jing Tiannan’s question.

Everyone else nodded.

“Alright, if you all are so unlucky to encounter any misfortune, then don’t blame me for not reminding you,” Jing Tiannan said in a low voice.

“They indeed came for Lin Xun…”

Ling Kezi’s eyes sparkled with wisdom, and he thought to himself, “Since ancient times, the greatest struggle on the cultivation path is overcoming the heart thief that leads one astray on their path. Greed, anger, delusion, hatred, love, evil, and desire…the harm of greed, how many people in the world can truly escape its clutches?”

With this thought, he let out a sigh.

He said nothing else.

Just when Jing Tiannan and his group were preparing to take action, a strange rumble echoed from the depths of Mount Heedless...
