The Prodigies War

chapter-1216
The lava bubbled and waves of fire swept the area.
Hovering in the air, Lin Xun was dazzling as he tried his best to withstand and dispel the ubiquitous aura of destruction in the air.
Although he was faced with an extremely dangerous situation, he looked determined with his shining bright black eyes.
He found the Dao Fire he needed.
It was that cauldron!Standing on three legs and with two angular handles, it radiated an ancient and eternal charm.
Boom!
Without wavering, Lin Xun launched into attack mode, activating the Baxia Imprisonment via the True Dragon Grand Dao.
Roar—
The mythological Baxia Beast came forth out of nowhere, driving an enormous net in the direction of the cauldron.
Who would have thought that a black ruler would dart into the air and destroy the net with a deafening bang and then strike Lin Xun head-on with the same terrifying force?
It was an Alpha Dao Fire that had taken on the form of a black ruler like it had its own intelligence. Naturally, it possessed astonishing destructive power!Lin Xun dodged and made a clutching motion. A rush of surging aeth power slammed the approaching black ruler hard like a landslide.
Surprisingly, the black ruler effortlessly split the blow that was strong enough to take down a supreme king.
Lin Xun’s pupils shrank. He realized that Alpha Dao Fires were terrifying and that ordinary attacks were ineffective against them.
“Suppress!”
With a roar, the Bi’an beast charged out, grasping a giant seal, and smashed it hard on the black ruler.
The ruler shook frantically with a strange buzz.
Although Lin Xun had yet to completely suppress it, he still heaved a sigh of relief. If his attack failed, then he would have had to resort to his trump card.
Clang!
However, as the black ruler emitted a clear cry, Origin Dao Fire shaped as all sorts of weapons, including swords, spears, halberds, axes and hooks, came pouring out of the volcano like a monstrous wave.
It was as though an army had been dispatched!
Lin Xun’s expression turned grave.
He never imagined that a black ruler formed from an Alpha Dao Fire could summon other Origin Dao Fires to attack!
……
“What’s going on?!”
Far away from the volcano, Zhen Yunfeng, Ji Xingyao and the others gasped.
Following their gazes, Origin Dao Fire were racing into the volcano with frightening murderous intent.
“It must be an incredible fortune!!” Toady murmured.
……
Boom!
Suddenly, Lin Xun was under unprecedented pressure that pushed him to unleash all his strength.
He wandered about, surrounded by tribulation symbols, activating the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art like an overlord conquering the universe.
Swords, spears, blades, halberds and all sorts of weapons bombarded him with terrifying destructive power like shooting stars falling from the sky.
Among them was the attack of the black ruler!
This left Lin Xun speechless for a while.
He only wanted to subdue the cauldron, but he unexpectedly triggered a counterattack from the black ruler, which then summoned a gang of Origin Dao Fire to attack him!
So dangerous!
Any supreme king would have had to exhaust their strength to subdue one Origin Dao Fire.
But now, over one hundred Origin Dao Fires were encircling Lin Xun.
Moreover, an Alpha Dao Fire was among them.
Lin Xun had activated his strength to its limit, but he was still left with horrible injuries and charred-black holes in his skin.
He couldn’t help but grunt and grimace from the indescribable pain.
Only then did he realize the terror of Origin Dao Fire and that they were more difficult to deal with than a group of supreme kings.
However, no matter how unfavorable his situation was, he would not willingly leave this place.
Kill!
His black hair billowed in the air, and he was in the ultimate fighting state, activating the Sacred Combat Art and Yazi’s Rage to their fullest.
Capture the ringleader first to capture all its followers.
His target became the black ruler which he relentlessly pursued and attacked.
During the process, his clothes were scorched and chunks of his skin and muscle flaked off.
This was the terror of Dao Fire. Before it was subdued, its frightening power was strong enough to burn a king expert to death, obliterating both their spirit and body!
However, although Lin Xun was badly wounded, the black ruler soon staggered and failed to withstand Lin Xun’s full-force blows.
With a boom, the black ruler burst into pure, deep and chilling flames. The waves it emitted were like the wings of the night spreading.
In the nearby void, everything engulfed by the black firelight was incinerated and destroyed!
But to Lin Xun, the fire had been subdued!
With a wave of his hand, the black dao fire was absorbed into the palm of his hand.
All the other Origin Dao Fires encircling Lin Xun abruptly collapsed like an army that had lost its commander.
At the same time, a sudden understanding emerged in Lin Xun’s mind—
The Eternal Silent Dao Fire was born before heaven from the origin of darkness!
The black firelight reflected Lin Xun’s changing expression. Immediately, he grimaced as he inhaled sharply, feeling his body being torn apart.
The battle had left him with several horrible injuries. His body resembled a large piece of charcoal riddled with holes. Many parts of his muscles and bones had been burned away.
His injuries were extremely serious!
That was the price for subduing an Alpha Dao Fire. If it were any other supreme king, then they likely would lose their lives fighting for this treasure!
Without thinking too much, Lin Xun took out a heap of king-grade herbs and began to consume them like they cost nothing. At the same time, he also activated the power of the Immortality Grand Dao.
The injuries all over him healed at an astonishing speed.
Throughout the process, the Cauldron Dao Fire remained motionless, still protected by four Alpha Dao Fires nearby.
Precisely, it was a five-colored deer, a white jade book, a purple scroll and a golden lantern.
From the looks of it, Lin Xun knew that if he wanted to absorb the Cauldron Dao Fire today, he had to first deal with the four Alpha Dao Fires.
After a brief moment, after consuming the power of seven king-grade herbs, and with the help of the Immortality Grand Dao, Lin Xun completely restored his strength and injuries.
He paid a huge price for that.
After all, king herbs were a luxury to any king-level expert.
But, his harvest was also huge.
At least, he got his hands on an Alpha Dao Fire!
Hu—
After exhaling a breath of turbid air, Lin Xun refocused his attention on the Cauldron Dao Fire and unhesitatingly attempted to subdue it again.
If he failed to obtain that Dao Fire today, he would regret it for the rest of his life!
Buzz—
As Lin Xun expected, another Alpha Dao Fire launched a counterattack like a loyal guard.
It was the golden lantern. Whirling in the air, its wick emitted a beautiful glow and produced magnificent gold-like flames, creating a grand and solemn atmosphere.
Unsurprisingly, under the summons of the golden lantern, another army of Origin Dao Fire bombarded Lin Xun.
They transformed into all forms of thunder, lightning, hurricanes, tornadoes and streams of light and descended upon Lin Xun.
This battle was more difficult than the previous one. By the end of the battle, Lin Xun was left with a blackened body and one of his arms and legs had been burned off!
But the outcome was not bad. He subdued the Golden Lantern Dao Fire and learned that it was called the Golden Blaze Dao Fire and was born before heaven from the origin of gold.
This time, he had to consume nine king-grade herbs to repair his injuries!
One of the king-grade herbs among them was an extremely rare treasure that was known for its magical ability to revive the dead. Once consumed, his body would undergo a rebirth-like process and glow with new life force.
But Lin Xun discovered that during this repeated destruction and repair, his physique and strength were being transformed again and again.
Best of all, even his control of the Immortality Grand Dao improved massively!
“One danger, one rebirth, one fortune…the ancient sages are right, good fortune follows upon disaster...” Lin Xun murmured.
Although the battles were arduous, exhausting, miserable and painful, and he was subjected to tests of life and death at all times, this training experience not only rewarded him with a fortune but also other unimaginable benefits.
After that, Lin Xun followed the same process and successively subdued the purple scroll and five-colored deer...
Those two Alpha Dao Fires were respectively called Purple Brilliance and Five Aggregates. They each had their own unique characteristics and unbelievable magical abilities.
Likewise, in that process, Lin Xun’s body was destroyed and reborn as before.
Although his cultivation had not improved, his body and physique were tempered and strengthened again and again!
Originally, Lin Xun did not focus on cultivating the body. The path he took included the art of cultivating the spirit and refining the Qi, but not tempering the body.
But now, his physique was akin to a beautiful polished jade. If he were to seek a body-tempering path in the future, then he would definitely yield twice the result with half the effort.
It was to the point that ordinary treasures could barely damage his tough body now!
The only thing that pained Lin Xun was that so far, he had consumed nearly forty king-grade herbs, many of which were extremely rare and precious.
If he hadn’t looted many enemies along the way, that level of consumption would not be sustainable at all!
The fact that wealth was ranked first among the four major elements of cultivation: wealth, companionship, arts and place, already showed its importance.
Without any delay, Lin Xun gritted his teeth and fixed his gaze on the white jade book.
He could collect more king-grade herbs in the future, but he had only one chance to subdue the Dao Fires!
To his dismay, the white jade book turned out to be more terrifying and powerful than the other four Alpha Dao Fires that he had subdued.
By the end of the battle, his body was burned to the brink of collapse and even his spirit was damaged! He almost breathed his last breath!
But he succeeded in the end.
In the critical juncture, he activated A Moment of Spring and Autumn and decided the course of events, completely suppressing the white jade book.
He learned that the Alpha Dao Fire was called Dustless and was born before heaven from a current of pure origin qi.
The pure one was Heaven!
Undoubtedly, the Dustless Dao Fire was the leader of the five subdued Alpha Dao Fires!
If Lin Xun had not already set his sights on the Cauldron Dao Fire, then he would definitely keep the Dustless Dao Fire for his own use.
