The Prodigies War
chapter-1011

Gold Wood Province, Azure Rain City.

In the misty drizzle, the streets and buildings in the city looked picturesque and had an antique charm.

Buzz—

In the center of the city, the ancient teleportation array opened, revealing the figure of a young man.

Surprisingly, as soon as this person arrived, he looked up to the sky and burst into laughter as if he had gone crazy, drawing strange gazes and remarks from the nearby cultivators.

Lin Xun did not care. To be happy in life is to have fun, why bother with how other people see you?

“They were ruthless. In order to get rid of me, they didn’t hesitate to dispatch five king-level old monsters. Luckily I am still a stroke above them!”

Lin Xun was delighted. A bright smile dispelled the gloom that had hung over him all these days.

The Heaven Axis Holy Land had hunted him down to the end of his rope and pushed him to a hopeless situation, but now, he had escaped safely, while the other party had suffered heavy injuries. How could Lin Xun not be delighted?

In particular, he managed to kill an old monster of the king stage. He also couldn’t believe it himself. Moreover, the other four old monsters were seriously wounded and on the verge of death. It felt almost like a dream to him.

“I used more than thirty thousand high-grade aeth essences to accumulate power for the Dao Immeasurable Bottle. The money is well spent since it achieved such a miraculous outcome..” Lin Xun was more and more convinced that the Dao Immeasurable Bottle was a great killer weapon.

If he could utilize it properly, then he would not need to fear even Life Death Stage Kings.

Without further delay, Lin Xun walked away in large strides before he vanished in the blink of an eye. The ancient teleportation array could be opened at any time, so it was best to leave as soon as possible.

The Gold Wood Province was located in the remote northern part of the East Victory World. Heading further north and crossing a dozen of provinces was a Boundary River that separated the East Victory World and the North Dipper World.

If he moved south then after passing through seven provinces, he would reach Baiyujing where the Omega Sword Sect was located!

Azure Rain City was hazy with misty rain, adding an ethereal, peaceful, and quiet atmosphere to the city.

Even the spiritual qi in the air was rather strong, making it perfect for cultivation.

Unfortunately, Lin Xun was just passing through this city.

Half a day later.

He left Azure Rain City, navigated through the wild mountains, and headed south.

This was a decision he made after careful consideration. He reckoned that, even if Heaven Axis Holy Land persisted to go after him, they would think that he would use the ancient teleportation array to escape.

Moreover, his understanding of the East Victory World was still very surface-level. He wanted to take this opportunity to explore the world as a traveler.

Reading thousands of books was not as useful as traveling for a thousand miles. It was the same principle for cultivation.

The East Victory World had the title of Hometown of All Saints, being the oldest and most glorious world in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. It had an astonishing foundation with thousands of sects and clans coexisting together.

If he wanted to train and practice there, then he should first understand and adapt to it.

……

The mountains were serene and boundless.

Traveling through it felt like being in the wilderness. Everywhere were bizarre mountainous rocks, waterfalls, springs, and herds of beasts galloping.

Compared with the cities where cultivators usually resided, the wilderness was undoubtedly more vast.

In the morning, Lin Xun woke up at the crack of dawn and wandered the mountains and rivers alone, observing the wonders of the world and comprehending his own art.

At dusk, he fished and hunted, then started a fire to cook the delicacies from the mountains.

At night, he bathed under the starry sky and meditated in complete silence…

His state of mind was the most relaxed it had been. He felt unprecedented tranquility.

Ever since he had come to the West Infinity World, he had never relaxed one bit. His grudges and hatred, his secular worries and matters all faded from his mind.

Along the way, with the accompaniment of the sky and earth, the warmth of the mountains and rivers, he had forgotten the troubles of the world!

Alone, he walked, meditated, practiced, and continued onwards…

……

The wilderness was not a paradise; it also had its share of unpredictable dangers.

One night.

Lin Xun, who was meditating, quietly opened his eyes, and with a swipe of his finger, a ray of blade intent emerged in the air.

Chi!

A perfectly-straight crack of thousands of feet suddenly split the void.

At the end of the crack, a black figure suddenly flashed out, looking a little discomposed, and let out an angry howl that sent the sky shaking.

It was a black wolf with flame-like eyes. Its strong and tough body was at least dozens of feet long and emitted a terrifying and violent aura.

Following the roar, the silent mountain quaked and the clouds changed.

It was a Black Underworld Wolf of the half-step king stage!

“Young man, this place is my territory...” it hissed.

It only just started speaking when Lin Xun launched an attack. A ray of blinding light flashed out with a slash of his finger.

Pu!

The black wolf had no chance to struggle, let alone fight back before its tremendous body collapsed to the ground all of a sudden!

It died too abruptly. There was not a hint of a scream nor a splatter of blood, and not even a trace of aura was left behind.

It was completely wiped away like a mark on a chalkboard!

From the beginning to the end, there was not a single sound. The mountains and rivers remained silent, and not a soul was alarmed or aware of it.

“Instant birth destruction...” Lin Xun muttered to himself.

That strike was the Birth Destruction Slash, the fifth slash of the Heavenly Yuan Six Slashes, which he had only recently grasped.

What was birth destruction?

One snap of the fingers was sixty split seconds, and one split second equaled nine hundred births and deaths!

The Birth Destruction Slash was derived from the wonders of birth and death.

One slash could decide life and death in an instant. It was not only unimaginably fast, but also full of unimaginable power of destruction!

The mystery contained in this attack was obscure, mysterious and profound.

At most, Lin Xun had only grasped some superficial knowledge of the Birth Destruction Slash. But even so, he was very confident that even if he encountered Wen Xingzhou again, a top half-step king, he could take his life with one slash!

“Life and death could be decided in an instant. The true meaning of this is too amazing to be described. This slash attack is the most deadly attack I have mastered so far…” Lin Xun nodded in understanding and closed his eyes again.

Not a sound could be heard in the dark night. The stars flickered above him like a dream.

……

A few days later.

Phantom Province, Floating Mountain City.

In the center of the city stood a golden news tree.

“Ye Chen, the sword genius from the younger generation of the Crape Myrtle Mountain’s ancient Ye Clan, who is also known as Crape Myrtle Sword Demon, crossed the void and arrived at the East Victory World! Within three days of his arrival, he defeated the younger generation geniuses of the six major ancient sects and clans!”

“Yu Lingkong, a successor from the Longevity Land in the South Wonder World, participated in the Treasure Light Tea Event and defeated eighteen outstanding young elites alone!”

“Wu Daokong, a successor from the Star Cliff Pavilion, broke into the Blood Spirit Cave alone and left after eliminating eight hundred blood spirits!”

News came out from the news tree one after another, setting off bursts of gasps and exclamation.

Any matters that could make it onto the Golden News Tree had to be great enough to cause a sensation in the East Victory World. Ordinary news would not be qualified to be broadcasted from it.

Lin Xun stood quietly among the crowd.

Realize the dao outside the world, cultivate the mind in the secular world. Being out of the world and entering the world were both kinds of cultivation.

If one wanted to rise in the battle of the great age, then one had to strive for supremacy with the elites of the world. If one blindly shunned the world, then it was impossible to strive for supremacy.

It was also on this day that Lin Xun learned that not only himself but also other top figures in the South Wonder World and the North Dipper World had arrived in the East Victory World, showing off their own unique brilliance that amazed the world.

For example, Crape Myrtle Sword Demon Ye Chen.

For example, Yu Lingkong, the successor from Longevity Land.

Undoubtedly, they had to be astonishingly strong since their feats were enough to cause a sensation in the East Victory World and broadcasted on the golden news tree.

“I wonder how strong Yu Lingkong is now…” Lin Xun muttered thoughtfully.

“Demon God Lin is not bad either. He stirred up storms when he was in the West Infinity World and when he arrived in the East Victory World, he clashed with Heaven Axis Holy Land. I heard even an expert at the king stage died at his hands!” Someone’s exclamation caught Lin Xun’s attention.

“That kid is indeed a formidable character. Although he used a weapon to kill a Life Death Stage King, the fact that he managed to fight his way out of several encirclements is already very impressive.”

Many discussions started.

Only then did Lin Xun realize that his doings in the Ancient Blue Province had already spread throughout the East Victory World.

Many people were in disbelief, but, of course, many more were shocked.

A youngster from the lower domain rose to fame in the West Infinity World for his heaven-defying strength and then he escaped the pursuit of Heaven Axis Holy Land in the East Victory World. It was hard for Lin Xun to not draw any attention.

In particular, the fact that he possessed a Saint treasure was no longer a secret, as it had circulated widely with the incidents.

This was undoubtedly bad news for Lin Xun.

He hadn’t become a true king yet, so he had to avoid being so showy in the East Victory World which was full of hidden talents, ancient sects, and clans.

The Nameless Pagoda he possessed was a treasure that could draw covetous gazes from any Saint. It could become a source of trouble for him.

Although he once killed an old monster at the king stage and astonished the world, everyone knew that he only achieved such a feat with the help of a supreme treasure and not with his own power.

Additionally, the fact that he had no one or sect to support him, made him an easy target for the others.

“There is still one year to go until the Four World Star Ranking Contest that happens every thirty years. At that time, the East Victory World will no doubt become turbulent!” A conversation drew his attention just as he was about to leave.

“That’s right, the battle of the great age is coming, so this Star Ranking Contest will no doubt be completely different from those in the past. The peerless geniuses who aspired to make a name for themselves in the great age will definitely take part in it. It will become a fight for supremacy among the young peerless geniuses!”

“The Star Ranking Contest will pave the way for the arrival of the Genius Gold Rankings. Anyone ranked in the top one hundred of the Star Ranking Contest should be qualified to take a stab at the Genius Gold Rankings!”

During the discussion, Lin Xun turned around and left.

The Four World Star Ranking Contest dated back to ancient times. It was a martial arts event that acted as a stage for the young generation of experts from the four worlds of the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

The Star Ranking Contest was held every thirty years.

Lin Xun’s interest was piqued.

Within two years, the great age would surely come and the Star Ranking Contest was a competition among the younger generation experts in the four worlds of the Ancient Wasteland Domain. Before the great age came, it would be the focus of attention of all geniuses in the world.

“If there is a chance, I want to take a look.” As Lin Xun thought about it, he left Floating Mountain City.

In the following days, he made his way through mountains and rivers and occasionally entered the cities to find out about the latest news that happened in the East Victory World.

Before he knew it, he had crossed several provinces and traveled over hundreds of miles.

One month later.

He reached the territory of Baiyujing.

The Omega Sword Sect was located in this province!
