The Prodigies War

Chapter 1674: Like a Giant Abyss Transversing the World

As soon as he finished speaking, Toady and A’lu couldn’t help but scrunch their brows.

What a shameless old bastard!

Realizing the unfavorable situation, he devised another plan to target only Lin Xun. He made it seem like he was backing down, but in truth, he was scheming to kill Lin Xun with the least possible loss.

When the other Golden Crow Clan experts heard this, their eyes brightened.

“Lin Xun, do you agree?” Wu Hengtian asked.

Before Lin Xun could say a word, A’lu couldn’t help but curse out loud, “Old bastard, you are the patriarch of the Golden Crow Clan, don’t you feel ashamed?”

Toady said directly, “Brother, just say the word and we will join you in breaking into and killing the Golden Crow Clan. You don’t need to pay attention to that old bastard!”

Shaohao, Ye Chen and the others all nodded.

“Hmph, break into? You are too arrogant. Even quasi-Emperors will have to weigh the consequences first before breaking into our Sunset Current Valley.” Wu Hengtian’s expression was menacing. “If not out of respect for the forces behind you, do you think I would make such a proposal?”

Toady was about to retort when Lin Xun stopped him. He looked at Wu Hengtian with a cold expression and asked, “So if I win all three battles, you are going to willingly release Elder, is that right?”

Wu Hengtian answered unhesitatingly, “That’s right! But remember that you must fight alone, and you have to put your life on the line!”

Toady and the others deepened their frowns. How is that old bastard backing down? He clearly plans to kill.

But Lin Xun remained surprisingly calm. “What if you go back on your words?”

Wu Hengtian laughed. “Little trash, you underestimate me. Everyone here can be a witness to what happened today!”

“Lin Xun, are you really going to agree?”

Shaohao frowned and sent a voice transmission to Lin Xun. “The Golden Crow Clan is known to be savage and ruthless. They will stop at nothing to kill you in those three duels. They likely will dispatch fierce characters at the Saint-King level.”

“Don’t worry, I understand.” Lin Xun smiled.

“Then, what if they go back on their words?” Shaohao was still worried.

Lin Xun reassured calmly, “It doesn’t matter. Brother Shaohao, do you think I’m just here to rescue someone?”

Shaohao quivered inwardly, and a bold idea came to his mind. His gaze changed when he looked at Lin Xun again.

Where does this guy get his confidence?

“I agree, let’s start then.”

Lin Xun could not be bothered to say anything else to the Golden Crow Clan. He just soared into the air, standing tall and alone. There was not a ripple of expression on his face.

It would be best if he could rescue the weapon spirit.

But even if the enemy went back on their promise, it did not matter.

Wu Hengtian looked dumbfounded. He never expected Lin Xun to agree so readily.

Not only him, the other Golden Crow Clan experts were also flabbergasted. Is this kid fearless, or does he have a death wish?

How could he rescue someone without the help of the other supreme Saints from various forces and by just relying on his own strength to win three matches?

What wishful thinking!

Immediately, Wu Hengtian sneered out loud and then signaled with a wave of his hand. “Henghai, go and deal with that kid. Remember, don’t show any mercy.”

A beefy man with a pointed beard like a halberd stepped forward, exuding a powerful and calm aura. His eyes were as terrifying and forbidding as raging lightning.

From afar, he gave the feeling of a towering mountain–invincible and unshakable!

He was Wu Henghai, a Big Saint Stage cultivator and one of the Saint elders of the Golden Crow Clan. He held a high status within the clan and was well known in the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain. He had been hailed as the number one slayer of the Big Saint Stage in the past eight hundred years!

He might not be the strongest in terms of combat strength in the Big Saint Stage, but in terms of the number of opponents who had died at his hands, he was second to none in the Big Saint Stage.

This was where the title ‘slayer’ came from!

Ye Chen, Mi Hengzhen and others could not help but narrow their eyes and furrow their brows in anger.

“Wu Hengtian, you are too shameless. You dispatched a Big Saint with blood-stained hands to deal with a youngster at the True Saint Stage. Do you have any sense of shame?” Ye Mohe scolded.

Wu Hengtian smiled leisurely. “There is no set cultivation level for the duels. If you think that Lin Xun is no match for his opponents, then just tell him to admit defeat and kill himself as an apology.”

The patriarch of an ancient clan, the ruler of a sacred Hidden Holy Land like the Sunset Current Valley, was saying such shameless words, leaving Ye Mohe and the others speechless.

“I have never seen such a shameless person in my life!” raged the big black bird raged. He thought he was outrageous, but compared with Wu Hengtian, he was nothing.

Even the Golden Crow Clan experts looked rather awkward. It seemed like they also did not expect their patriarch to send out a terrifying being like Wu Henghai in the first duel.

He…

He obviously wanted to kill Lin Xun with absolute certainty!

Of course, this arrangement might seem shameless, but as long as they could kill Lin Xun, it would not be a bad thing.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xun was unfazed and only uttered a few words in response.

“Come up and fight!”

That statement shook the world and drowned all noises.

Toady and A’lu both held back the words at their lips. They knew that Lin Xun had made up his mind and they could not change his decision, so they couldn’t help but worry.

A supreme True Saint would not attach importance to an ordinary Big Saint.

But Wu Henghai was not an ordinary Big Saint. Even if he had not embarked on the supreme path, he had the upper hand over Lin Xun in terms of cultivation level.

This was already very unfair before this first duel had even begun!

But no one could dissuade Lin Xun because he had already made up his mind.

“Since you want to die then I will fulfill your wish!”

As Wu Henghai stepped forward, he rose into the air and the space crumbled around him. His soaring figure was like an infinitely tall mountain growing larger and larger.

It was a ‘big’ imposing bearing!

It was a power unique to the Big Saint Stage. Any True Saints would feel helpless and as tiny as an ant in its presence. Let alone fight, even their fighting spirit would be shaken.

Rumble!

Clouds collapsed in every direction as the sky and the earth darkened.

Wu Henghai’s body was completely surrounded in blazing golden flames. His qi rushed forth and flooded the entire world, causing many people to breathe heavier.

This was the true power of the Big Saint Stage. It was big and immeasurable like a curtain that blanketed the sky. All mountains, rivers, and beings seemed tiny and insignificant before it.

However, none of this could affect Lin Xun’s state of mind.

He had long comprehended the wonderful meaning of ‘big,’ and his understanding might even be deeper than some cultivators who had set foot into the Big Saint Stage.

The reason why he had not set foot into the Big Saint Stage was because he was waiting for an opportunity.

The world became oppressive and suffocating, the air seemed to be condensed, and the austere atmosphere dimmed the sky and the earth.

Everyone in the audience watched nervously.

This was an unfair duel, but also a battle rarely seen in all ages.

One side was the Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield and a peerless supreme True Saint and on the other side was Wu Henghai, who had been hailed as the number one slayer of the Big Saint Stage in the past eight hundred years.

This could be called an earthshaking showdown even in the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Lin Xun’s clothes whipped around him as his black eyes glinted coldly. The terrifying power within him had already erupted like lava.

“Die!”

Without saying much, Wu Henghai launched into attack.

He waved his hand as if he was lifting a ferocious sun. He looked like a god of death from ancient times. The violent aura around him was seemingly able to incinerate the universe.

So strong!

The expressions of Shaohao and the others tensed. From that single strike, they could tell that Wu Henghai was a terrifying elite figure of the Big Saint Stage.

Wu Hengtian’s face was alight with admiration. He could see that Wu Henghai did not underestimate Lin Xun or hold back, but, just as he had ordered, intended to eliminate Lin Xun with thunderous power in one move.

The faces of many Golden Crow Clan experts contorted with astonishment.

In the Ancient Wasteland Domain, it was extremely rare to witness battles of the Big Saint Stage. Even if they were of the same clan, they rarely saw Wu Henghai in action, so they were all stunned by his strength.

Rumble!

In the face of the incredible blow, a giant abyss suddenly emerged around Lin Xun, enveloping all directions as if to swallow up heaven and earth.

The void exploded with a deafening boom, and all nearby void power was instantly swept over and swallowed up. The area around Lin Xun seemed to have turned into a black hole!

As Wu Henghai’s palm approached, its dazzling palm power exploded into a shower of flames and light, before being devoured by the abyss around Lin Xun until not a trace of it remained.

The Great Endless Devour Scripture!

It was the supreme daoist scripture that the Omega Lord relied on to conquer the cosmos. It was an ancient one-of-a-kind art based on the foundation of the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer.

At that moment, horrifying and boundless power erupted before the Sunset Current Valley!

“He…”

The countenance of Shaohao and the others all changed. After not seeing Lin Xun for half a year, he had grown so much stronger than they had expected, as if he was a completely different person!

Wu Hengtian’s expression subtly changed. How can the power of the supreme True Saint Stage be so astonishing?

It should be noted that Wu Henghai did not hold back at all. He mobilized the true power of the Big Saint Stage, but he was still crushed like paper!

The eyes of the Golden Crow Clan experts almost popped out of their sockets. They had long heard about Lin Xun’s heaven-defying strength, but only when they saw him today did they realize he was more powerful than rumored.

“Die!”

Wu Henghai’s expression also changed slightly, but he had a wealth of experience in battles. Without hesitation, he launched another palm strike.

Buzz!

Instantly, thousands of blazing suns rose into the sky, as if to incinerate the world. The nearby mountains and rivers instantly turned into ashes and vaporized, completely dissipating from the world.

The void melted and was left riddled with holes.

The supreme inheritance of the Golden Crow Clan—Thousand Sun Incineration!

It was at that moment when Lin Xun moved. Like a giant abyss transversing the world, the sky and earth distorted and collapsed with his steps and produced terrifying, ear-piercing explosions.

His overwhelmingly domineering power was akin to the God of Destruction.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of suns one by one blew up as Lin Xun moved forward. The power contained in each sun was enough to kill any True Saint, but before Lin Xun, they seemed to burst like bubbles.

They looked so weak and fragile!

For a moment, blazing suns were exploding between heaven and earth, bursts of booming noise were echoing endlessly and torrents of raging flames were wreaking havoc. It was a terrifying scene of destruction.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was like a black hole of the scene, marching forward unhindered and devouring all turbulent torrents of divine flames!
