The Prodigies War
chapter-1006

Simple, brutal, and swift!

Ever since Yu Baobao stepped into the realm of the supreme, it had been difficult for her to meet a worthy opponent. Hence, it never would have occurred to her that she would one day be crushed so easily.

She had been soundly defeated in a proper battle without any tricks.

Indescribable fear rapidly spread throughout her body like a tidal wave, causing her hands and feet to turn cold.

Bang!

In the next moment, her vision turned black and she lost consciousness.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun had already moved again.

Rumble!

In the sky, the Sunfire Golden Spear glowed with holy splendor. The fluctuations it emanated caused the surroundings to ripple violently.

It boasted peerless sharpness, unmatched might, and an unstoppable aura. The divine power it exuded flowed with a golden radiance that made the world seem dull in comparison.

The huge North Light City was plunged into an apocalyptic catastrophe where the sky and land seemed to have turned upside down and almost everyone was in a state of collapse. The devastation would terrify almost any cultivator.

However, although the Sunfire Golden Spear was strong, it failed to break through the defenses of the Nameless Pagoda.

The entire pagoda was forged from Genesium and gave off a gorgeous glass-like gleam as if it was floating amidst millions of divine rays. The faint sound of Saints chanting the scriptures seemed to drift from the pagoda.

As it hovered in the air, it gave off a sensation of immeasurable might capable of suppressing everything. No matter how fiercely the Sunfire Golden Spear attacked, it was unable to shake or suppress the pagoda in the slightest.

Rumble!

The horrifying destructive power generated by the collision of the two Saint treasures was absolutely unimaginable without personally witnessing it.

"How is this possible?! Even the Sunfire Golden Spear can't beat it?" Xue Qianhen's heart churned violently as his expression turned graver than ever.

Although the superb battle power displayed by Lin Xun previously had surprised Xue Qianhen, he didn’t panic because the sect had given them the Saint treasure, Sunfire Golden Spear, for the operation.

With the spear, Xue Qianhen was confident in taking down even long-established supreme heaven prides in the East Victory World, let alone a mere Demon God Lin who had stepped into the realm of the supreme.

Now, however...

Xue Qianhen’s confidence was shaken after witnessing the Nameless Pagoda’s power.

To think that the other party also possessed a Saint Treasure!

This completely exceeded Xue Qianhen's predictions. It felt like being suddenly struck by a baton and was very difficult to accept.

From what he knew, Lin Xun came from extremely humble origins. He was a youngster from the countryside of the barren lower plains. How could anyone believe that such a person would possess a Saint treasure?

Rumble!

While distracted by such thoughts, a terrifying force suddenly arrived and jolted Xue Qianhen back to his senses.

When he raised his eyes to look, Lin Xun was already aggressively rushing in like a demon god.

With the Sunfire Golden Spear stuck in a clash with the Nameless Pagoda, Xue Qianhen had basically lost his strongest trump card.

When this was coupled with Lin Xun's overwhelming display of combat power that had suppressed Zhang Zheng and Yu Baobao in rapid succession, Xue Qianhen no longer had any intention of facing Lin Xun.

He realized the situation was terrible and planned to retreat.

"Baxia Imprisonment!"

However, restriction undulations spread from the approaching Lin Xun and soundlessly enveloped Xue Qianhen.

He immediately noticed his movements become sluggish. It felt as if he was a swimming fish that was suddenly frozen in a layer of ice.

"Shit!" His expression abruptly changed as he shouted, "Open up!"

With a rumble, fire-like radiance violently surged from him, instantly breaking the power of the Baxia Imprisonment.

However, Lin Xun had already used that split-second gap to arrive in front of him!

If Baxia Imprisonment was employed against any other Cyclic Derivation cultivator, it would definitely leave the opponent unable to move and only able to wait for death. However, it wasn’t very effective against a supreme path expert like Xue Qianhen.

However, trapping him for a split second was enough!

Kill!

Electricity seemed to blossom in Lin Xun's cold eyes as he released a burst of plain, boundless fist-force.

"Get lost!" Xue Qianhen formed a blade with his fingers and tore apart the fist-force.

To his surprise, however, the torn fist-force didn’t scatter but reshaped into sharp blades and shot toward him.

It was like ashes burning once more!

This was one of the techniques from the Black Phoenix Silent Annihilation Art. It enabled the user’s attacks to be reborn like ashes burning again and was extremely bizarre, frightening, and impossible to guard against.

Plop plop plop...

Xue Qianhen was clearly caught off guard. Although he tried his best to defend himself, his defenses were still pierced. The razor-sharp forces entered and drilled bloody hole after hole in his body.

His expression abruptly changed as he screamed due to the unbearable pain. There was no hesitation at all as he tried to withdraw and flee.

It was only after personally facing Lin Xun that he experienced what Zhang Zheng and Yu Baobao had felt earlier. Lin Xun was simply overwhelming. Rather than supreme heaven prides, he better resembled an unbeatable demon god!

Shiing!

The Sunfire Golden Spear returned as Xue Qianhen reached out to grab it.

He felt extreme danger and didn’t think twice about defending himself with a Saint treasure despite already retreating.

However, how could the Nameless Pagoda allow the Sunfire Golden Spear to be retrieved so easily?

Omm~

The pagoda glowed brightly, sending out thousands of wonder-gold dao light rays that rapidly enveloped the Sunfire Golden Spear, causing it to shudder.

Noo!

Xue Qianhen's pupils widened as his soul seemed to leave his body.

Before he could react, however, Lin Xun was already attacking. His five fingers were akin to dragon claws as they reached out and clutched Xue Qianhen's body, firmly imprisoning it.

Another supreme heaven pride had lost!

Only a few breaths had passed from Xue Qianhen joining the fray to Yu Baobao being suppressed, and finally to Xue Qianhen being captured.

However, so many soul-trembling events occurred during this brief span of time.

The Saint treasure showdown that nearly destroyed North Light City...

The retreat of the cultivators who no longer dared to take a single step closer...

The distortion of space that caused the entire area to ripple...

Each of these events could be described as earth-shaking and terrifying.

In the end, Yu Baobao was defeated along with Xue Qianhen!

Far away, Nangong Huo, Gu Yunting, and the rest of the Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples were dumbfounded and shocked.

How could they have imagined that they would be incapable of achieving anything even with the Sunfire Golden Spear?

Lin Xun's demon-god-like offensive and invincible aura made their hearts turn cold.

Rumble!

To everyone's surprise, after capturing Xue Qianhen, Lin Xun’s attention shifted to the Sunfire Golden Spear and directed the Nameless Pagoda to subdue it.

However, he did not expect that the unrivaled battle spear would become more powerful than ever before after losing Xue Qianhen as if it had a spirit of its own. After a slight struggle, it broke free from the Nameless Pagoda.

Chla!

In the next instant, it transformed into a golden streak of light, tore apart space, and swiftly disappeared without a trace.

Lin Xun frowned as he inwardly sighed. He knew that a Saint treasure like this wasn’t something just anyone could subdue even after losing its wielder.

The Sunfire Golden Spear had also left...

The Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples despaired, feeling as if the sky had collapsed as they turned and fled in fear.

Even though they still outnumbered the opponent and had a powerful line-up remaining, the defeats of the three supreme heaven prides, Zhang Zheng, Yu Baobao, and Xue Qianhen had already made them lose their fighting spirit.

Moreover, the opponent possessed a Saint treasure!

What did they have left to fight such a foe?

Rats scattering from a sinking ship was an apt description of these Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples at this moment.

"Run!"

"That abominable Demon God Lin. He will surely suffer!"

"Quick! Spread the news back to the sect!"

They ran for their lives like frightened beasts.

Swish!

How could Lin Xun possibly allow them to escape like this? With the Hornless Ice Dragon Step, he dashed over without hesitation like flowing light that could partially ignore the rules of space.

Plop!

One of the fleeing Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen. When he looked down, he was horrified to find that the lower half of his body had been chopped off.

Darkness rapidly filled his vision as he lost consciousness.

Thud!

On another side, a man's head exploded. His headless body kept its inertia for another hundred feet or so before crashing to the ground with a thud.

Plop plop plop...

Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples were killed one after another, losing their lives in different districts of the city amidst splatters of blood.

In this moment, Lin Xun was akin to an executioner who mercilessly took their lives.

North Light City was a highly populated city and was still lively and bustling just a quarter of an hour ago.

However, it was now deathly quiet and desolate. There were broken walls and devastation everywhere, and almost all the buildings were reduced to ruins.

The number of innocents that had been caught up in the earlier battle and lost their lives was simply unimaginable.

Although it wasn’t all caused by Lin Xun, it was still related to him, which made him feel guilty.

People weren’t grass and trees that would feel nothing.

Although Lin Xun had killed many people since he began his cultivation journey, he had retained a clear conscience. This was the first time that his state of mind had been affected.

As such, he became increasingly cruel and heartless as he hunted down the Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples. It was the only way to make him feel a little better.

Little Silver was also dispatched. He carried out his orders cleanly and efficiently, seemingly sensing the abnormality of Lin Xun’s mood.

Plop plop plop!

Blood splattered in the air.

The number of Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples gradually decreased.

It didn't take long for Lin Xun to encounter Nangong Huo. His almost transparent face was filled with terror and helplessness.

He begged for mercy in a trembling voice, "Lin Xun, this matter has nothing to do with me. It’s Senior Brother Chu Beihai who wanted to capture you at all cost and seize your blessings and treasures..."

Plop!

He was killed by Lin Xun before he could finish. His eyes were still wide open in death as if he was unable to believe what had happened.

Soon after, his older brother, Nangong Shui, was also unable to escape his fate. His body crashed to the ground with a loud thud after Little Silver noiselessly slayed his primordial spirit.

Shortly after, Lin Xun caught up to Gu Yunting.

Lin Xun: "......"

Gu Yunting was in a sorry state. There was a touch of bitterness in his expression when he saw his acquaintance from the past. He seemed to want to say something, but ultimately shut his mouth as if resigning himself to his fate.

"You should leave Heaven Axis Holy Land."

With these final words, Lin Xun turned around and left.

From the start, Lin Xun knew that Gu Yunting, who had previously had a slight disagreement with him, had changed. At the very least, Gu Yunting didn’t have any choice in this pursuit operation.

Gu Yunting was in a daze as he watched Lin Xun leave, unable to believe that he had survived...

"Even if you didn’t warn me, I still would have broken away from the sect..."

Gu Yunting had a complicated look. So many people had died, yet he remained alive and unharmed. If the sect found out, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't become suspicious!
