The Prodigies War

The divine arrow drew a brilliant arc across the sky, unimaginably fast as it tore through the heavens!

Huangfu Shaonong and his companions all had a drastic change in expression. Is this guy crazy? To go so far as to directly detonate such a horrible danger!

They wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

In the depths of the swampland, the uncanny and hideous mountain that resembled a demon suddenly grew a hand of eye-piercing lightning.

The hand gently fished in the air.

The Biluo Arrow that Lin Xun had fired with the No-Nonsense Bow was utterly powerless as it was easily snatched out of the air.

Boom!

What ensued was a thunderous explosion that shook the nine layers of clouds above and the whole swampland below. A dazzling light tore through the fog and illuminated the region.

Accompanied by a horrifyingly destructive aura, the mountain seemed to be awakening from its forever silence. Countless lightning bolts appeared alongside it, blazing to the extreme.

Those bolts were like waterfalls, like torrents, like erupting lava! Arcs of electricity meandered through them, flashing as they put holes and cuts in the void around.

Vaguely, a magnificent figure emerged from that blinding storm of lights like a lord of destruction born from lightning!

“What on earth…” Huangfu Shaonong’s entourage was horrified. Their scalps tingled as they drew away without hesitation.

It was simply terrifying!

That magnificent figure was as frightening as it was bizarre, surging with a supreme destructive aura of lightning. A mere glance from afar already filled one's heart to the brim with terror!

No sooner had Huangfu Shaonong’s group tried to move away than Lin Xun stormed toward them. “Folks, you’ve just arrived. Why leave so soon?”

As his voice still resounded, an ocean of Taixuan sword qi whistled out.

Omni-Direction Sword Rain!

It was like a dome of swords that enveloped Huangfu Shaonong's group, covering every direction around them.

“You have a death wish!”

“This guy has lost his mind!”

“Attack him, quick!”

Shouting loudly, Huangfu Shaonong and his group struck out with all their might, deploying a storm of various treasures and skills.

The Omni-Direction Sword Rain was crushed in a series of rumbles. However, Lin Xun's figure suddenly flashed before he appeared before the closest opponent and extended a finger.

Shhh!

A brilliant light shot out from the tip of his finger.

That Heaven and Earth Dao Court disciple fell down with a scream. The heavy blade that he was holding defensively in front of him cracked and shattered. In the center of his eyebrow, there was a bloody hole.

The power of the Thorn of Sharpness had been fully demonstrated!

At the same time, however, a sword qi suddenly approached Lin Xun from behind like a flash of light that had been cutting through time.

Huh?

A chill ran down Lin Xun's back as he sensed the threat.

However, he made no move to dodge it. A chaotic Great Dao Field appeared around him and turned into a tumbling abyss. As the great abyss rumbled, a terrifying and boundless devouring power spread out.

Bang bang bang!

That sword qi collided with the abyss amidst deafening noises, then exploded inch by inch before the abyss swallowed what remained.

Only then did Lin Xun notice that the attack had come from Huangfu Shaonong!

Not giving him any time to catch his breath, all sorts of treasures and skills had speedily arrived like a rain of comets.

Those Heaven and Earth Dao Court disciples had murderous intent plastered all over their faces as they blasted out at full strength, especially Huangfu Shaonong, who was standing out with his attacks.

His bright yellow python robe fluttered as the Law Power around him manifested into a massive, golden python dragon. It bolted around in the air with the might of a sovereign descending the world.

At the same time, he had a blue cloud-patterned sword under his control. It zig-zagged like a lightning bolt while releasing turquoise-colored sword qi thousands of feet long.

Each sword qi came down murderously, seemingly containing a green world as it reflected a magnificent and infinite phenomenon.

Rumble!

The rain of attacks collided with Lin Xun in the air. With him in the center, his sky-blotting abyss wolfed down everything around it and reduced all the Law Powers and skills that came near into sparks.

Meanwhile, the treasures were like moths stuck in a spider's web, struggling constantly but they were unable to get close to him at all.

The only exception was Huangfu Shaonong's turquoise-colored sword qi, which were inconceivably sharp. They exchanged fierce blows with the abyss, generating earth-shattering explosions.

“Rise!”

On another side, four Heaven and Earth Dao Court disciples worked together and conjured a large, silvery net. The ropes it was made of were like crisscrossing lines of the great dao, flowing with a terrifying aura that belonged to the Emperor Stage.

When the silvery net descended from the sky, it gave off the feeling of the heavenly net of justice, having wide meshes yet letting nothing through!

This was an Emperor-grade treasure!

Furthermore, it was an extremely powerful one at that. Lin Xun instantly felt a looming threat, as if a heavenly cage was descending to suppress and shackle him.

“Slash!”

Almost at the same time, a fist-sized, violet cauldron appeared above Huangfu Shaonong. From it, seventy-two violet flying swords swept out, their clangs stirring the nine heavens.

The violet cauldron was also a miraculous Emperor-grade treasure that contained seventy-two flying swords. Each sword would reflect all sorts of horrifying visions and emit soul-crushing sounds the moment they emerged.

In order to deal with Lin Xun, Huangfu Shaonong had obviously planned far ahead and made elaborate preparations!

Even a quasi-Emperor would be scared and feel despair when faced with such a killing operation.

As a matter of fact, Lin Xun was indeed in an extremely dangerous situation with a mysterious silver net over his head and purple flying swords coming at him from all directions with monstrous auras.

Looking around, there was no place to hide, no way to escape!

The next moment, however, a bronze seal rushed up and blossomed with boundless radiance. From it, a destructive aura shot skyward, suppressing the void in its wake to the verge of collapse.

The Dao Lifeless Seal!

With a loud collision, the silvery net was obstructed and smashed by the seal into tumbling violently. The faces of the four Heaven and Earth Dao Court disciples commanding it twisted, their qi and blood churning as they almost lost control over the net.

At the same time, the apricot-yellow Dao Structureless Flag flew up, flapping and rippling while shooting out countless sword qi. The sword qi was like sword deities from heaven as they repeatedly clashed with the violet flying swords.

Clang clang clang!

The seventy-two flying swords were shaken, buzzing and trembling. They were no longer able to advance an inch.

The killing operation was resolved in a split second!

“Dao Lifeless Seal, Dao Structureless Flag!”

Zhuanxu Heng was among the crowd that surrounded Lin Xun. When he saw the two Kunlun weapons help Lin Xun in a great display of power, a wave of shock and bitterness took over his heart.

Those two mighty Emperor treasures should have belonged to him, but he had only been one step away when they had slipped past him while also costing him the Dao Emptiness Plate, which was also one of Kunlun’s nine Emperor weapons!

“Is this fate?” lamented Zhuanxu Heng.

Huangfu Shaonong's expression also changed slightly. He had believed that a siege aided by the two Emperor-grade treasures could easily kill Lin Xun.

Who would have thought that the other party would be able to turn the tide just by relying on two Emperor-grade treasures of his own?!

However, Huangfu Shaonong did not panic. He took a deep breath and waved his hand.

Whoosh!

His gesture not only sent a command to the seventy-two violet flying swords, but also called upon a golden rope, which appeared out of thin air with a flash.

A shocking scene followed. The Dao Lifeless Seal, in the midst of fiercely clashing with the silvery net, was bound by the golden rope!

Success!

Huangfu Shaonong's eyes lit up.

This rope was his real killer move, a divine Emperor-grade treasure from an extremely ancient heritage called the Treasure Bind Golden Rope. It did not have any offensive power, but in exchange could bind and trap all kinds of treasures under the sun!

Before coming to the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone, some old monsters of Heaven and Earth Dao Court had reckoned that top-notch experts like Mi Wuya and Ling Hongzhuang would definitely be armed with a variety of trump cards, among which would be no lack of Emperor-grade treasures.

Under such a circumstance, their disciples had to be equally well-equipped if they were to compete with them.

As a result, the Treasure Bind Golden Rope, a crowning treasure of Heaven and Earth Dao Court, had been lent to Huangfu Shaonong so that he could restrain any powerful treasure of the opposing forces in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone.

This was the first time Huangfu Shaonong had utilized it, and all it had needed was a single attempt to reap a favorable result!

Seeing that the Dao Lifeless Seal was bound and about to be taken away by Huangfu Shaonong, even Lin Xun was taken aback. He realized that the rope was similar to Toady’s Treasure Drop Coin, which was a treasure specially designed to restrain treasures.

With my current power, it’s not yet possible to truly refine treasures like the Dao Lifeless Seal into my own, otherwise, how could I possibly be hampered like this…?

While Lin Xun sighed to himself, he wasn’t slow to react. With a buzzing sound, the Dao Endless Pagoda, which looked like it was carved out of a whole piece of golden glass, appeared and unleashed arcane golden lights.

Bang!

The Treasure Bind Golden Rope suddenly became limp like a dead snake, as it was viciously beaten and suppressed by the arcane golden lights.

Not giving Huangfu Shaonong any time to react, those same golden lights wrapped the rope and dragged it into the Dao Endless Pagoda.

Huangfu Shaonong had always appeared wise and calm, but when he saw such a scene, his eyes almost fell out and he almost stomped his feet.

How is this even possible?

The Treasure Bind Golden Rope was supposed to be capable of restraining most Emperor-grade treasures in existence. Because of such a marvelous skill, it was regarded as the crowning treasure of Heaven and Earth Dao Court and had helped them restrict numerous treasures of their mortal enemies since ancient times.

However, the current situation was that it was the one that had been suppressed!

“It's that pagoda… It’s an inheritance of Fangchun Mountain! But wasn’t it lost during the Dao War of Emperors in the ancient era? How…how did it fall into this man’s hands?!”

Zhuanxu Heng's shocked cry resounded in the distance. His expression was that of horror as he recognized the Dao Endless Pagoda.

“What?!” Huangfu Shaonong’s and the others' faces also changed when they heard the information. Upon recalling the terrifying rumors about this pagoda, their hearts trembled.

“So, this guy is a remnant of Fangchun Mountain!” shouted one of them angrily.

This fact caught everyone off guard. At first, they had found it unimaginable upon learning that Jin Duyi was actually Lin Xun, who had once wreaked havoc in the Kunlun Dominion.

After all, anyone who had been there at that time had come to know of him as a disciple of Absolute Origin Dao Court.

Now, when they realized that the man back then was actually an heir of Fangchun Mountain, there was no need to describe their shock and astonishment.
