The Prodigies War
chapter-1195

Swish!

Without giving Lin Xun time to react, the figure in the painting hooked up a star with a flick of his fishing rod and flung it out of the painting.

An enormous inheritance immediately flooded into Lin Xun’s mind-sea, causing it to buzz violently as if it was about to explode.

Meanwhile, waves of comprehension washed over him.

"Great Diffusion Void Breaker Finger!"

"A Longevity Dao Art that consists of three moves.

"The first move is called A Moment of Spring and Autumn; a finger strike that can turn the seasons between spring and autumn in an instant, seize luck, and judge over life and death!

"The second move, Close Yet Far; a finger strike that rewrites the rules of space. Even when the enemy is close, the user becomes unapproachable as if at the other end of the world.

"The third move, Omni Finger; a finger that is impossible to avoid or escape no matter the distance!"

……

A long time later, Lin Xun finally woke up from his state of enlightenment with a churning heart that was filled with shock.

He realized that he had received an incredible dao inheritance that stood above the five great cultivation stages and was specially prepared for King experts who had reached the Longevity stages!

Although there were only three moves, they contained endless mysteries and profoundness, and possessed inconceivable god-like power!

Lin Xun took a deep breath and abruptly looked up, only to find that the old, yellowing scroll had already returned to its original state. The figure that appeared to be fishing above the starry sky was motionless as if everything had been nothing but an illusion.

However, Lin Xun knew that it was all real!

Great Diffusion Void Breaker Finger!

Great Diffusion implied a perfect and flawless state.

It was a dao art that possessed a transcendent grandeur that was impossible to conceal.

Take the first move, A Moment of Spring and Autumn, for example. It fused the grandness of thousands of springs and autumns into a single finger, allowing it to flip over heaven and earth, rotate rules and order, and crush the opponent with pure, boundless force!

The second move, Near Yet Far, made it impossible for an enemy to even touch the user no matter how desperately they tried to close in and attack.

It was a defensive move that had a similar concept to movement restriction, but was even more marvelous, refined, and incredible.

Think about it, how could enemies approach you if you could suddenly displace yourself to the other end of the world?

As for the third move, Omni Finger, there was no place it could not reach no matter how far the enemy ran.

Although there were only three moves, they were a complete package of offense, defense, and pursuit that even Lin Xun couldn't help but marvel at.

It took quite some time for Lin Xun to finally calm down.

He looked at the scroll again, certain that it had been left by the Taoist-robed old man who rode a green ox.

The scroll contained an extraordinary secret, but only the 'fated person' could trigger the secret.

For instance, the earlier scenes had been triggered by the Taoist riding a bull painting in his hand, which allowed him to unintentionally obtain the Great Diffusion Void Breaker Finger inheritance.

Lin Xun murmured in his heart, "The willing bite the hook...or perhaps it would be more apt to say the fated will bite the hook..."

It was incredible to think that this mysterious elder had left such a painting solely in wait of a fated person.

Fishing above the stars while leaving his legacy to the fated!

How many people in all of time could achieve such a carefree state?

Who was the Taoist-robed old man who rode a green ox while looking at the sky?

Lin Xun quietly tightened his grip around the rusted copper piece in his hand.

He had a hunch that he might one day learn the identity of the Taoist-robed man when he had the opportunity to search for the All-Wonder Dominion.

A question suddenly struck Lin Xun.

Where had the Golden Crow Lineage obtained this painting?

In the end, Lin Xun put away the old painting without an answer.

"I need to hurry..."

A determined light shone from his black eyes as he walked out from the hall and stood atop Flying Star Mountain. Since he had already started the massacre, there was no reason to stop.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, his figure disappeared.

……

Fifteen minutes later.

Wild Elephant Mountain, which was known to be one of the Little Blessed Lands of the Mythic Fire Realm, was currently occupied by the Mysterious Metropolis Sect.

Lin Xun arrived at the mountain and slaughtered his way up just as he had done earlier.

In less than the time it took to brew a pot of tea, all of the Mysterious Metropolis Sect disciples on Wild Elephant Mountain were killed, staining the entire mountain blood-red.

When Lin Xun left, he took with him nine king-grade herbs and a batch of rare divine materials, the Flowing Light Cold Essence, which wasn't below the ruyi divine gold in value.

The only regret was that he didn't find any divine herbs on the mountain.

After this, Lin Xun made his way toward the Sea Soul Clan's territory.

Meanwhile, news of how Lin Xun invaded the Golden Crow Lineage's territory, slayed many Supreme King experts, and stained the entire Flying Star Mountain in blood spread rapidly throughout the Mythic Fire Realm like a storm.

The Flying Star Mountain base was utterly destroyed and the great factions' forces stationed on it were exterminated to the last man. They suffered so many casualties that it was impossible to cover up what had happened even if they wanted to.

When the news broke, everyone fell into an uproar.

The great factions spread throughout the Mythic Fire Realm were stupefied and in disbelief. It was impossible for them to sit still after hearing that a single person had taken down the entire Flying Star Mountain.

It was simply unbelievable!

Previously, Lin Xun had been mostly inactive while stationed at Star Catcher Mountain. Although he had killed several Supreme King experts, he hadn't really caused much of a splash.

After all, such bloody incidents were practically an everyday occurrence in Mythic Fire Realm.

However, today's news far exceeded everyone's expectations!

No one could deny that Lin Xun lived up to his title of Demon God. The direct and efficient manner in which he single-handedly wiped out Flying Star Mountain was exceedingly shocking to many.

The news swiftly spread as if it had sprouted wings. It triggered commotions everywhere, causing the great factions to once again take notice of him.

Many people were shaken and dumbfounded.

Some great factions even sent people to Flying Star Mountain to verify the news.

Soon after, however, the news that the Wild Elephant Mountain base had also been exterminated by Demon God Lin spread and caused another uproar.

"Has Demon God Lin gone crazy?"

Many people's scalps tingled upon hearing the news.

Ever since the Upper Nine Realms opened, conflicts and bloodshed have been a daily occurrence in the Mythic Fire Realm.

However, it was the first time that someone had single-handedly wiped out such huge groups from hegemon-tier factions!

Everyone knew that the Golden Crow Lineage force stationed on Flying Star Mountain was hegemon-tier in the present Mythic Fire Realm.

The only ones who could contend with them were other behemoths such as the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms, the Skyless Sect, and the Great One Sect.

Despite this, Flying Star Mountain and Wild Elephant Mountain were single-handedly wiped out by Demon God Lin!

Who wouldn't feel horrified by such feats? The great factions in the Mythic Fire Realm were unable to sit still and dispatched numerous scouts, desperately to know what exactly Demon God Lin was trying to do.

"What? Even the Sea Soul Clan’s base, Mingcui Mountain, was annihilated?"

"Heavens, Demon God Lin...is turning the world upside down!"

News spread like wildfire, causing several great factions to feel endangered as they tried to recollect if they had offended Demon God Lin in the past...

On the other hand, there were also great factions that saw this as an opportunity and sent out their elite forces to take advantage of the situation.

After all, Lin Xun was just a single person, and it was impossible for him to take over all the territories he had conquered. Hence, these now vacant territories became juicy targets to the great factions!

It was akin to a flock of vultures feasting on carrion that had been left on the ground.

"What did you say? Demon God Lin massacred my Golden Crow Lineage’s forces on Flying Star Mountain?"

Meanwhile, Wu Lingfeng and the others, who had been camping for news of Lin Xun on Star Catcher Mountain, also received the news. They immediately flew into a rage as their faces turned green with anger.

Who could have expected that Lin Xun would raid their territories while they were invading his territory?

"F*ck!"

Wu Lingfeng was so angry that he almost coughed up blood as his long hair rose around him.

He immediately set off for Flying Star Mountain with the other experts from the great factions.

When they arrived, they were dazed and in disbelief at the sight of the bloody wreckage that had been left behind.

It...was true!

Wu Lingfeng nearly blacked out when he saw the empty waterfall pool that had once housed the three Dual System Divine Lotuses and couldn’t help but let out a crazed roar at the sky.

The entire base had been destroyed, and all the treasures had been plundered, leaving nothing of value behind.

How vicious!

When Wu Lingfeng walked into the main hall and found that even the ancient scroll he hung there had disappeared, he nearly lost his rationality to anger right there and then.

Although the supreme heaven prides from the Mysterious Metropolis Sect, the Sea Soul Clan, and the Moon Worshipper Sect were greatly alarmed by these scenes, they were also secretly thankful that it wasn’t them but the Golden Crow Lineage.

It was fortunate that Demon God Lin had gone to Flying Star Mountain. They couldn’t imagine how they would feel if their territories had been invaded instead.

However, their relief didn’t last for long because news soon arrived that Wild Elephant Mountain and Mingcui Mountain had also suffered similar fates...

It suddenly felt as if they had been ruthlessly struck by a club. Their expressions turned hideous, and their eyes bulged in rage as they furiously swore revenge on Lin Xun.

With a deep breath, Wu Lingfeng exerted impressive willpower to restrain his anger and hatred before he said, "Everyone, you’ve now seen how vile that demon spawn can be. If we don't kill him, how will we ever establish ourselves in the Mythic Fire Realm?

"I suggest that we go after him together. We absolutely cannot give him any chance to catch his breath and escape!"

Everyone nodded with ugly expressions.

They understood that Lin Xun, who had single-handedly slaughtered all the forces on Flying Star Mountain, definitely could not be underestimated.

He wasn’t only daring but also boasted terrifying battle power. It was likely that none of them would be a match for him in one-on-one combat.

"Go!"

Wu Lingfeng did not wish to delay a second longer and flew off without even looking back at Flying Star Mountain.

The others immediately followed with murderous auras.

……

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was standing in front of a beautiful mountain with furrowed brows.

The mountain was called Jinlan Mountain and was originally the territory of the Profound Light Ancient Clan.

However, when Lin Xun arrived, he was surprised to find it surrounded by smoke with the air saturated with the pungent smell of blood. It was obvious that a large-scale conflict had recently occurred here.

A group of experts walked out from the mountain, headed by an extraordinarily handsome young man with a crane cloak draped over his shoulders. He nonchalantly gazed at Lin Xun who had just arrived and said, "Demon God Lin! You've come at the perfect time. As you can see, we of the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms have helped you raze the Profound Light Ancient Clan's territory to the ground."

Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms?

Lin Xun's heart stirred as he recalled the prideful Ji Xingyao.

However, he had no relation with Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms. Why would they voluntarily aid him?

The crane-cloak youth leisurely spoke as he sized up Lin Xun in an amused manner, "Don't misunderstand, we're not helping for free. I heard that you just took out Flying Star Mountain and I believe that you must have looted many treasures from there. Shouldn’t you share some divine herbs with us to show your appreciation?"
