The Prodigies War

Chapter 1733: One of the Nine Secrets of Kunlun

At the summit of Imperial Dragon Mountain, the air seemed to have frozen.

A core successor of the Heaven and Earth Dao Court, a peerless sword cultivator ranked fifty-third of the Starry Sky Big Saints Rankings, sacrificed his life as an offering to the sword!

This alone was shocking. In the Ancient Nebula Road, if anyone dared to force Gu Cangxin to such a state, they would surely incur the wrath of the Heaven and Earth Dao Court.

But such an incident happened in the Kunlun Dominion.

Buzz!

The ferocious blood-red dao runes rippled riotously on the surface of the ancient pitch-black sword, and its blade buzzed and quivered as it unleashed a pillar of dao light into the sky.

An illusory figure appeared, as majestic as the heaven, exuding boundless mighty power. Its aura alone was enough to make one’s blood run cold and feel suffocated.

Weapon spirit!

The ancient black sword turned out to be a treasure that possessed a weapon spirit.

Even Lin Xun couldn’t help but wrinkle his brows, and a strange look flashed across his eyes.

In his hand, the No-Nonsense Bow silently appeared.

“Lin Xun, death is the fate that you and I must bear.”

At this moment, Gu Cangxin’s hair was a faded gray-white, his body was aged and dull, but his eyes were blazing with flames of hatred and anger.

Shua!

The ancient black sword flew across the sky, and the phantom of the sword spirit strode forward like the ruler of the world, integrating its power into that sword slash.

The hundred-foot sword qi could split open even an ancient sacred mountain. It was as though an ancient sword god was roaming the world. The sky and the earth dimmed, leaving only that streak of blazing brightness in midair.

The sword light was blindingly bright, but also extremely terrifying!

“Where’s Wuque?” Lin Xun commanded.

Buzz!

The No-Nonsense Bow that was forged from heaps of bones, suddenly quivered and the figure of a gray-haired young man emerged from the fierce bow body.

A terrifying and ferocious aura spread outwards and filled the air!

“Young Master, leave it to me.”

The gray-haired youngster beamed. His brows were as sharp as blades and his face glowed with vigor. He held the No-Nonsense Bow in one hand and hooked the fingers of the other around the blood-red bowstring that seemed to have been soaked in blood. Suddenly, he raised his head.

He revealed a pair of eyes filled with ferocity!

Boom!

It felt as though the sky was separated from the earth!

The summit of Imperial Dragon Mountain was drowned by dao light and deafening rumbles.

In everyone’s eyes, minds, and spirits was only an expanse of light. It was as if an unparalleled dazzling sun emerged in the cosmos. Its terrifying aura of destruction induced fear in even demons and gods!

Indescribable terror crashed into every spectator’s heart like a tsunami. They paled, screamed and dodged...

Many people were so frightened that they tumbled, and their faces turned deathly pale.

It was only after a while that the light gradually dimmed on the mountain summit and the waves of energy wreaking havoc in the void subsided.

“Is it over?”

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, finding that their backs and clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

That unprecedented and earthshaking collision could badly wound or even kill a Saint-King, right?

“It’s unfortunate. Gu Cangxin sacrificed himself to the sword to take Lin Xun down with him. Those two…won’t ever be seen again...” a spectator sighed.

Before he finished, his expression froze and his eyes almost popped, as if he had seen a ghost.

At the same time, all the other spectators stood gaping in the same direction.

On the summit of Imperial Dragon Mountain, a man was standing alone in midair. In his hand, he held a huge, ferocious bone bow. His back was as straight as a sword, as if he was going to pierce the sky!

When everyone saw that figure…

They were flabbergasted and became as still as a clay statue.

Lin Xun!

He was still alive!

The battlefield was strewn with broken limbs and chunks of flesh, but there was no sight of Gu Cangxin.

Only the broken jet-black sword was inserted diagonally into a pool of blood, buzzing and quivering!

There was utter silence, not a sound was heard.

Everyone stared at Lin Xun in stunned disbelief.

After Gu Cangxin’s desperate move of sacrificing his life to the sword, Lin Xun was left unscathed, while he perished!

The broken sword was the best proof of this.

“He…he…”

After a long while, someone finally opened their mouth with trembling lips, but no sound came forth.

The others were still in a dazed astonished state.

In this battle, the successors and descendants of four top forces from the Ancient Nebula Road, Primordial Dao Court, Heaven and Earth Dao Court, Taowu Battle Clan and Blood Qillin Battle Clan, had joined forces to arrange a trap on the summit of Imperial Dragon Mountain.

For this battle, they had dispatched many people and went to great efforts in their planning. This was all to kill just Lin Xun.

But in the end….

They all died!

This battle started when Lin Xun climbed up the mountain. He single-handedly fought his way up to the summit of Imperial Dragon Mountain, slaughtering all enemies along the way and even broke through the Demon Slaying World Chaos Array!

Hundreds of elites from powerful major forces, many of whom ranked among the best on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings, were turned into a bloody mess on the ground.

Only he remained standing tall on the mountain summit with silence all around!

……

On the ancient stone mountain path, A’hu stretched her back, her slender waist and graceful figure curving beautifully.

She exhaled a long breath, and her clear eyes swept over the stunned spectators around her. She couldn’t help smiling. “Are you guys hanging around here because you also want to test your strength against Demon God Lin?”

Her clear and melodious voice was extremely pleasing to the ear.

But the spectators snapped back to their senses and their expressions dramatically changed. With a whoosh, they bolted down the mountain path.

Who would dare to linger around?

The mountain summit was littered with corpses and the ground was soaked with blood. If Lin Xun saw them as enemies, there would be unimaginable consequences!

“Demon God Lin? That name seems rather apt…”

On the mountain path, many people were reflecting on everything that happened and engraved in their memory the name that once shook the entire Heaven Wasteland Domain.

It could be foreseen that as today’s battle spread, the name would also circulate widely and perhaps even cause a sensation in the Ancient Nebula Road!

……

Hu—

On the summit of Imperial Dragon Mountain, Lin Xun let out a long sigh. The previous battles and killings allowed him the opportunity to unleash his anger and resentment and gave him relief.

He began to sort out his spoils.

The items left by the hundreds of major force successors included Saint treasures, divine materials, aeth herbs and other rare treasures. They were all extremely spectacular and eye-catching.

The wealth of peerless figures such as Gu Cangxin, Kun Jiulin and Tao Jianxing was even more impressive.

“Young Master, can you give me all those Saint treasures?” The gray-haired youngster Wuque sent a thought to Lin Xun from the No-Nonsense Bow.

“Okay!” Lin Xun readily agreed.

Wuque was a weapon spirit, but it had been subdued and tortured by the Golden Crow Clan for endless years, which left his vitality and inner energy severely damaged.

It was only able to assist Lin Xun in the battle because it had extracted the essence of a lot of Saint treasures during this period and recovered a little bit of his energy.

But the recovered energy was already lost in the battle. Therefore, no matter what, Lin Xun would help it recover.

Swoosh!

With a flourish of his sleeve, Lin Xun gave all the Saint treasures he had collected to Wuque and kept only some useful treasures for himself.

For example, the Yin Lightning Whip, the spatial Saint treasure Taiyou Flying Sword, and a few other magical treasures.

Lin Xun’s generosity took Wuque aback.

“Young Master, once I recover, I will surely help you conquer the cosmos and eliminate all enemies across the sky and the earth!” Wuque declared calmly.

Lin Xun nodded with a smile.

“Brother Lin.” A’hu floated over like an ethereal fairy with her yellow dress fluttering around her.

“A’hu, this is yours. I kept all the Saint treasures, but there are quite a few rare materials and precious herbs among them, which you may find useful.” Lin Xun handed a storage bag containing some of the spoils to A’hu.

“Then I humbly accept it!”

A’hu beamed. She did not decline the offer. She was already accustomed to Lin Xun’s way of doing things and knew that any refusal would only make Lin Xun feel uncomfortable.

And what A’hu admired the most about Lin Xun was that he never treated his family or friends stingily.

“Look, that’s the mysterious forbidden area of Imperial Dragon Mountain.”

A’hu pointed to the distance, where the dense fog and mist exuded a mystical and frightening aura.

“That place is considered one of the Nine Secrets of the Kunlun Dominion. In previous battles, someone tried to run into there to escape being killed, but they ended up dead without any trace of their body left.” A’hu stood beside Lin Xun, her beautiful eyes glistening, her lips plump and red. She had an aroma as sweet and captivating as orchids. “This also confirms some rumors. Perhaps only those who hold a Flying Immortal Tablet can safely enter that area.”

Lin Xun nodded. He was reminded of something.

He communicated with Yuan Fatian via voice transmission. “Brother Yuan, when you climbed the mountain earlier, did you notice who entered the mysterious forbidden area with a Flying Immortal Tablet?”

“I think there was Mi Hengzhen, Ye Mohe and others.”

Yuan Fatian sounded uncertain. “Oh, right, those guys who captured me and Little Dapeng King also stole our Flying Immortal Tablets. A guy called Lu Xuanji then led a group of experts into the mysterious forbidden area.”

Lin Xun narrowed his dark eyes. “Are you sure?”

“Yes, it happened yesterday.” Little Golden Winged Dapeng King added.

“Okay, I understand.”

Lin Xun took a deep breath and said to A’hu who was standing beside him, “It looks like we have to make a trip to this mysterious forbidden area.”

A’hu nodded. “Of course.”

Without further ado, the two, each holding their own Flying Immortal Tablet, flew into the fog-shrouded area.

It felt as though they entered a tide of chaos. The fog rolled and haze drifted, shrouding the sun and the sky. Their visions were completely obscured and once they tried to navigate through it, they could feel terrifying forbidden power.

Lin Xun and A’hu both felt a chill down their spines and a strong sense of danger.

However, before they could react, the Flying Immortal Tablets buzzed in their hands, producing a brilliant illusory halo of light that enveloped the two.

Buzz—

Immediately, the two were teleported away, vanishing in the rolling fog.

“That’s…”

When they regained their vision, A’hu couldn’t help but gasp.

They were in a collapsing world, with pieces of broken land suspended disorderly in the void.

At this moment, she and Lin Xun were both standing atop one of the floating land pieces.

They surveyed the surroundings and found that apart from the howling astral wind, there were no other life forces. Everywhere was scenes of desolation.

“Is this really one of the Nine Secrets of Kunlun?” Lin Xun wondered.

He thought that it would be a land of paradise like the Peach Utopia Secret Realm, where ultimate fortunes were buried, and there might even be opportunities related to becoming an Emperor.

Who would have thought that it would be a dilapidated wasteland?!
