The Prodigies War
chapter-1043

The grudge between Lin Xun and Heaven Axis Holy Land could be traced back to as early as his time at the Ziyao Empire's Qinglu Academy.

However, the real enmity began in the Ancient Blue Province where Heaven Axis Holy Land was located.

And Chu Beihai was at the root of it all!

It was back during the Jade Flame City’s Rock Appraisal Event that a single decision from Chu Beihai resulted in a hunt for Lin Xun, which quickly snowballed bigger and bigger.

Hence, the sight of the chief mastermind, Chu Beihai, made uncontrollable killing intent surge in Lin Xun's heart.

"Demon God Lin!" How dare you show up here?!"

At the same time, Chu Beihai also saw Lin Xun. Fiery golden rays erupted from Chu Beihai’s eyes as they locked onto Lin Xun in the distance.

The nearby heaven prides’ expressions changed slightly at this sight.

They knew about the feud between Lin Xun and Heaven Axis Holy Land, so they naturally understood that it would be logical for Chu Beihai to have such a reaction.

"Why can't I come?"

Lin Xun’s voice was filled with nonchalance. His black eyes seemed as deep as the abyss as he said, "Speaking of which, you should be happy that you didn't personally come for me in the Ancient Blue Province. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't be here today."

The two individuals showed clear hostility toward each other, causing the atmosphere to turn somewhat stifling.

"Cut the crap. Mark my words, since you’ve come, you won’t be able to escape death this time!"

Chu Beihai’s expression was dark and stormy as his words powerfully rang out. Qi seemed to burst from his body, bathing him in a divine golden radiance as his clothes wildly flapped around him.

Lin Xun had killed an atrocious number of Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples in the Ancient Blue Province, and even a King stage old monster was trapped to death at his hands!

Moreover, he crippled the cultivations of two core disciples, Zhang Zheng and Xue Qianhen. The depth of the hatred between them made it impossible for Chu Beihai to tolerate Lin Xun for even a second.

The crowd violently sucked in a mouthful of cool air, realizing that the Little Giants List Competition was going to be more exciting than usual!

It was at this moment that A’lu laughed like a man who was unafraid to see the world fall into chaos. "Who is this fellow? He makes some very bold claims. Demon God Lin, don't be a wimp or I'll look down on you!"

Xiao Qinghe, on the other hand, frowned and voice-transmitted, ''Due to the Law restriction of this place, no one can die in the Immortal Forbidden Land. Hence, he will probably make his move when you leave. "

"When that moment comes, I suspect that Chu Beihai won’t be the only person to attack you. It's highly likely that older experts from Heaven Axis Holy Land will also be involved!"

Lin Xun nodded, appearing completely unfazed.

Since entering the Ancient Wasteland Domain, he had experienced many dangers and crises and had long since grown accustomed to them. In addition, he had more reliable fallbacks this time and thus didn’t feel threatened by Chu Beihai.

"Hmph!" Chu Beihai withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention to Lin Xun and the others.

Compared to killing Lin Xun, Chu Beihai was currently more concerned about the Little Giants List Competition.

In the time that followed, groups of heaven prides continued to arrive one after another.

There were disciples from ancient orthodoxies, Saint Clan successors, and outstanding practitioners from the East Victory, West Infinity, North Dipper, and South Wonder Worlds.

Each arrival would often cause a slight stir in the crowd.

Some well-known figures especially would even draw everyone’s attention.

For example, Ye Chen, who was a descendant of the North Dipper World’s Crape Myrtle Mountain Saint Ye Clan. The young man known as the ‘Sword Demon’ immediately drew everyone’s attention the moment he appeared.

He wore a purple robe and had black hair that was as glossy and smooth as silk. His posture was as straight as a sword that seemed capable of piercing the sky!

Whenever he opened or closed his black eyes, a horrifying vision of ten thousand swords bursting forth seemed to appear. Any expert caught by it would feel as if their souls were being cut.

The appearance of the Sword Demon Ye Chen similarly drew Xiao Cangtian’s attention. Their gazes clashed in mid-air like a sword and blade vying for supremacy, causing the wind and clouds to ripple.

"You shouldn't have come."

Xiao Cangtian’s words were direct, fierce, and domineering.

"Are you afraid that I'll overpower you and cause you to be removed from the ‘Blade Sword Supreme Duo?’"

Although Ye Chen spoke plainly, his voice gave off an imposing intent that was as intimidating as a sword.

Xiao Cangtian laughed and closed his eyes, cutting off any further exchange between them.

On the other hand, Sword Demon Ye Chen shrugged in disapproval.

Soon after, he let out a soft snort. His gaze turned to Lin Xun as a slight smile rose from the corners of his lips. ''Demon God Lin, as expected, I was right about you since the Dao Lantern Festival. I’m looking forward to your participation in the Little Giants List Competition."

Lin Xun was taken aback. He replied, ''You saw me during the Dao Lantern Festival?"

Sword Demon Ye Chen smiled, ''That's not important. What's important is that I admire your conduct and actions. I hope to fight you if there’s a chance. No matter who wins or loses, I'll buy you three cups of alcohol. The first represents my heart, the second represents your heart, and the third our hearts."

Lin Xun raised an eyebrow and asked, ''If you want to drink with me, why is there a need for us to fight?"

Ye Chen laughed heartily and replied with a question of his own, ''What better way is there to drink than to enjoy a battle first?"

After which, he sat on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to silently cultivate, ignoring the surrounding gazes.

To anyone else, sitting on the ground might be distasteful and unbefitting of a world-famous peerless expert.

However, Ye Chen clearly didn’t care about such things. The only thing he cared about was his will and following his heart.

This was also the style of his sword.

……

All of a sudden, everyone began to view Lin Xun in a different light.

When he first arrived, he appeared ordinary and did not draw any attention.

However, a commotion ensued when everyone realized his identity.

At that time, although many heaven prides regarded Lin Xun as a strong contender, they didn't think they were inferior to him and thus soon regained their composure.

However, when Mad Blade Xiao Cangtian took the initiative to talk to Lin Xun, many heaven prides began to realize how special he was and regarded him more highly.

Presently, when they saw how Sword Demon Ye Chen also didn’t hide his high regard and admiration of Lin Xun, the heaven prides could no longer remain calm.

Didn’t this mean that the two most dazzling supreme figures of the North Dipper World, the renowned ‘Blade Sword Supreme Duo,’ viewed Demon God Lin as an existence that was equal to them?

That would be astonishing, to say the least.

It also prompted another disgruntled remark from A’lu, "Another self-important fellow."

Black lines immediately formed on everyone’s foreheads. The barbarian was practically begging for a beating. They had never seen someone with such a smelly mouth.

As time passed, more and more heaven prides arrived at the foot of the Immortal Sacred Mountain, causing the atmosphere to become increasingly stifling.

Conversations gradually died down as well.

Everyone anticipated the Little Giants List Competition to be different from the past. Not only was there a much larger number of participants, but heaven prides were also far more common!

There was even no shortage of renowned top-notch experts such as Xiao Cangtian and Ye Chen!

This caused many heaven prides’ hearts to sink in their chests as they felt increasingly pressured.

In past iterations, it was extremely rare for so many supreme heaven prides to participate in the Little Giants List Competition!

"The Omega Sword Sect group has arrived."

Early the next morning, the crowd began to stir as their gazes looked toward a certain direction.

Extremely far away, sword lights swiftly approached like beautiful rainbows while giving off blazing and intimidating presences.

The sword lights abruptly stopped in the air, revealing a group of men and women.

At the head of the group was a thin figure wearing a golden crown and a feather coat. He gave off a heroic and domineering aura. A mere glance from him felt like being struck by a thunderbolt and would make anyone feel a sense of trepidation.

Jin Muyun!

He was the first sword of the Omega Sword Sect’s ‘Thirteen Swords’ with the title ‘Brahma King Sword’ and was the leader of the Omega Sword Sect core disciples.

If it was said that Yun Qingbai was the leader of the Omega Sword Sect’s previous generation, Jin Muyun would be the current generation’s most outstanding sword cultivator. In fact, his talent was comparable to Yun Qingbai’s when they were of a similar age.

Jin Muyun was still very young and not more than twenty years old. Despite this, he had already nurtured domineering sword qi that was sharp, arrogant, and absolute.

Overall, his reputation didn’t lose to supreme heaven prides such as Mad Blade Xiao Cangtian and Sword Demon Ye Chen.

In fact, some gossipers were already regarding him as the Omega Sword Sect’s second Yun Qingbai!

Countless gazes focused solely on Jin Muyun. The sword genius touted as the ‘Brahma King Sword’ was undoubtedly a huge threat that no one could ignore.

Due to his presence, the other Omega Sword Sect disciples appeared slightly dimmer. Jin Muyun completely stole the limelight.

Lin Xun also took notice. Moreover, Xiao Qinghe secretly informed him of Jin Muyun’s background.

"He’s indeed a formidable individual."

Lin Xun inwardly commented and withdrew his gaze. Although Jin Muyun was strong, he ultimately wasn’t Yun Qingbai.

However, to the surprise of Lin Xun and everyone else, as soon as Jin Muyun arrived, he scanned the area and icily said, "Is Demon God Lin here?"

His voice sounded like a clanging sword, causing everyone to feel a piercing pain in their eardrums as their hearts trembled.

Numerous gazes instinctively looked toward Lin Xun with subtle expressions.

News of Lin Xun breaking the records of five of the Twelve Towers of Baiyujing had long caused a huge sensation that was now known by every family, woman, and child in the East Victory World.

Hence, it was impossible for the Omega Sword Sect to have any good feelings toward Lin Xun.

However, many people still didn’t expect Jin Muyun to immediately target Lin Xun the moment he arrived.

"You're Demon God Lin?"

Jin Muyun threateningly stared at Lin Xun, "How dare you steal Senior Brother Yun's Night Flower Sword?! It is an unforgivable crime!"

Everyone’s hearts shook. First Chu Beihai and now Jin Muyun were showing killing intent toward Demon God Lin!

Moreover, Jin Muyun was even more forceful and direct!

Of course, the most shocking part was that Demon God Lin had stolen Yun Qingbai's old sword. It was a stunningly famous sword that had decapitated hundreds of half-step King experts’ heads!

In the face of Jin Muyun’s aggression, Lin Xun couldn’t help but roll his eyes as he said, "What easier way is there to ask for death? No need to rush. I’ll send you off after I kill Chu Beihai!"
