The Prodigies War
chapter-1258

Rumble—

As Underworld Son’s imposing bearing soared, the world seemed to be turned upside down, quaking with terrifying rumbles that almost drove many people coughing up blood.

“The Art of the Eight Underworld Gods!”

Little Golden Winged Dapeng King’s countenance changed.

Meanwhile, many people exclaimed out loud because they recognized that this was a unique secret art that had been lost for eternity.

No one imagined that it would see the light of day again and also be in the hands of Underworld Son.

Many people felt a tidal surge of emotions and fought to keep calm.

Underworld Son was indeed a genius blessed by the heavens. He unbelievably grasped such a long-lost cultivation art.

The so-called Art of the Eight Underworld Gods was the integration of the manifestations of eight kinds of divine beings with one’s own body. If activated in battle, it was akin to being blessed by the power of the gods.

Rumor had it that this art, once mastered, could form a real underworld purgatory and use the power of the eight gods to suppress, imprison, and kill formidable enemies!

Behind Underworld Son, multiple illusionary and majestic figures were projected like divine beings from beyond the sky, exuding vast and majestic auras.

Boom!

Underworld Son swung his fist, erupting with endless mysterious visions. Vaguely, the roar of gods echoed, shaking up heaven and earth.

Suddenly, Lin Xun seemed to be struggling in a turbulent sea and could be drowned at any time, killed by the frightening and majestic fist power.

Gasps rang out in rapid succession. Even Ji Xingyao, Mo Tianhe and others on Kongzhe Mountain turned ashen-faced. Is this Underworld Son’s true strength?

So terrifying!

“Tai Chi!”

Under the turbulent fist power, Lin Xun held up both hands and punched out. His right hand summoned the power of extreme yang, which was transparent and blazingly bright, and his left hand drew upon the power of extreme yin, which was as black as ink.

The movements were simple and plain, focusing on a natural trajectory.

Buzz—

After a split second, the symbol of Tai Chi, the yin and yang symbol, took shape in the air. There was a clear distinction between the pure and the turbid, while the black and white perfectly integrated. It was as though the origin and the end were a cycle.

The surging fist power was terrifying, yet it was blocked by the Tai Chi symbol and wiped out inch after inch, dissipating in a shower of light.

Everyone’s spirit shook violently. Tai Chi! One of the ninety-nine heaven-reaching grand daos!

But no one expected that Lin Xun would use this marvelous grand dao power to counter the Art of the Eight Underworld Gods.

Boom!

When the Tai Chi symbol collapsed in the air, the fist power also disintegrated.

“The Tai Chi Grand Dao is impressive, but unfortunately, it’s not enough!”

Underworld Son snorted with a cold and ruthless expression and exuded an invincible aura.

As he was speaking, he was treading across the air, images of divine beings orbiting around him as though he were the god of the underworld.

Boom!

He willfully began to perform the Art of the Eight Underworld Gods, every stroke and every move was brimming with earthshaking destructive powers.

Suddenly, Lin Xun lost the upper hand he just gained.

Although he had cultivated the Tai Chi Grand Dao to the level of Dao Truth, it could not be compared to Dao Law powers.

It could only take a passive defensive stance and was unable to fully unleash its true power as a reaching heaven grand dao.

On the battlefield, the fierce fighting continued.

But everyone could tell that Lin Xun would be suppressed sooner or later!

His situation was precarious!

“He is, after all, only at the third longevity tribulation stage. It is already amazing that he lasted so long against Underworld Son. Even if he is defeated and killed here, his reputation will remain,” someone sighed.

“Lord Underworld Son is invincible, who can compete with him?”

Cultivators of Underworld clamored excitedly.

“How…”

Ji Xingyao and the others went rigid and were surrounded by doom and gloom.

Boom!

With another blow, Lin Xun staggered backwards, his figure swaying side to side.

“Is this all you have? Yet you claim to be a demon god. This must be the most absurd thing in the world!”

Underworld Son mocked with an ice-cold voice, but his movements did not slow at all as he shot through the air to kill.

He was rather annoyed that Lin Xun was able to survive so long into the battle with just the strength of the third longevity tribulation stage. He regarded it a disgrace that he had not gotten rid of him sooner.

With an absolute advantage, he followed up with another blow, allowing Lin Xun no chance to breathe or recover!

“Shameless boasting, then let me show you my true strength!”

Those words struck the entire audience dumb before countless people broke into a commotion. “Could it be that Lin Xun had not used his true power?!”

“If so, that’s beyond terrifying!”

Boom!

Lin Xun’s bearing suddenly changed and his qi, energy, and spirit seemed to be stirred up. Splendid rays of light burst forth from him and circulated him like divine halos.

“Die!”

His eyes flashed like cold lightning as he charged forward to meet the attack head-on. At that moment, he had activated both Yazi’s Rage and Sacred Combat Art to their fullest.

Bang!

As soon as they exchanged blows, Underworld Son, who was seen as unstoppable, was blasted across the sky by Lin Xun’s punch, body shaking violently.

The audience fell utterly silent with their eyes wide with disbelief. Demon God Lin has indeed changed!

“Interesting.”

Ye Mohe felt a rush of current within him. He would have been a little disappointed if Lin Xun was crushed so easily.

“Do you think I haven’t held back my strength?” Underworld Son unleashed a furious roar and struck again.

Boom!

The two collided once again.

Between them, divine power surged like currents, law powers intertwined, and waves of dao sound and dao light formed all sorts of incredible visions, competing fiercely against one another.

The world was filled with signs of chaos, devastation, and destruction!

The two activated their secret arts and showed supreme strength that was beyond ordinary understanding. It was truly terrifying with neither holding back at all.

It was a rare, earth-shaking showdown.

The spectators repeatedly drew back because they knew that if they were swept by the shockwaves of the duel, they could be at risk of dying.

“We have all underestimated Lin Xun. He clearly has long reached an unimaginable level on the supreme path. Otherwise, he would not be neck-and-neck with Underworld Son given that he is an entire level below him.”

Some top cultivators whispered to one another.

Experts such as Little Golden Winged Dapeng King, Ye Mohe, and Luo Jia had already concluded this so their expressions altered subtly.

Meanwhile on Kongzhe Mountain, Ji Xingyao and the others finally relaxed their stiff and tense bodies and their mood eased a little.

The tyrannical power that Lin Xun demonstrated also surprised them.

On the battlefield, with an ear-piercing boom, Lin Xun and Underworld Son separated, both injured, covered in blood and staggering.

Underworld Son’s eyes were scarlet red, blazing with murderous intent, and his face was terrifyingly ice-cold.

He did not expect Lin Xun to withstand so long into the battle!

On the other hand, Lin Xun’s clothes were torn, his long hair disheveled, and his dark eyes were more chilling than an abyss. Similarly, he did not expect Underworld Son to be so difficult to deal with.

The two locked gazes and the intensity of the murderous intent between them turned into crackling sparks of lightning that repeatedly collided with one another. The atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating for many.

The place had turned deathly silent. Everyone held their breaths and did not utter a sound, watching nervously.

Clang!

The nine blood-stained bronze spears floated in front. Underworld Son unleashed a thunderous roar, and his long blood-red hair flew upwards.

“Die!”

Strengthened by the power of the divine beings and armed with the nine blood-stained spears, he launched into attack once again.

His power and bearing soared once again!

“That guy has hid his strength well!”

Many people’s expressions tensed, and even some top figures were on the alert. Underworld Son had displayed strength that surpassed their expectations time and time again.

Clang!

At the same time, the Broken Blade flashed in the air.

It was as bright and white as an illusion, as light and swift as a feather, as pure and sacred as a mirage, yet it contained a peerless sharpness!

Broken Blade!

This was Lin Xun’s precious weapon, which everyone had long known to be incredibly powerful and magical!

Before, some people were puzzled as to why Lin Xun had not brought out the Broken Blade, but now they realized that it was not because he was not going to, but because it was not the right time!

Just like Underworld Son, he kept a trick up his sleeve.

This was similar to playing chess. When you met an opponent, no one would reveal all their trump cards right at the start.

That would be equivalent to letting the enemy glimpse into their actual strength!

Of course, this was only when both sides were evenly matched.

If one side was even slightly weaker, it would be tantamount to throwing away their lives if they held back their strength.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the void, there was a shrill metallic ring as the Broken Blade and the nine blood-stained bronze spears repeatedly clashed, both refusing to budge an inch. The killing intent and destructive power were so strong and tremendous that they swept the area like tidal waves.

The battle situation was clearly more intense than before. The weaker spectators felt their ears buzzing and saw stars flickering before them and almost collapsed to the ground.

Only the top figures kept their composure.

Before long, the entire audience cried out in alarm.

Under the relentless and destructive blows of Broken Blade, the nine bronze spears were whimpering and wailing incessantly. They were chipped and cracked all over.

What was certain was that the Broken Blade was more powerful than the nine spears!

Underworld Son’s face turned livid, and the murderous intent in his heart raged violently.

He was already ashamed and embarrassed to not have killed Lin Xun at this point in the battle.

But now, his nine spears were damaged in the duel. A vortex of anger and shock rose inside him while his heart bled.

The set of spears was an incredibly rare treasure with an ancient background and astonishing origin.

Once damaged, it was almost impossible to repair them!

“I’m going to take that Broken Blade!” With a berserk roar, Underworld Son’s blood-colored hair danced wildly around him, and his power swept the area like a raging sea.

But with a loud crack, a blood-stained bronze spear was severed into two!

The audience gasped with astonishment. Is Lin Xun going to counterattack?

“You deserve to die!”

Underworld Son raged, his eyes were about to burst with anger.

But in the ensuing fight, spears were broken one after another, which made his heart feel like it aws being slashed by a knife.

But the Broken Blade was completely undamaged!

This amazed many people, realizing that Lin Xun’s weapon was an incredible divine tool.

In the end, Underworld Son put away the five remaining spears. Even so, the five spears had sustained serious damage already.

Just when everyone thought that Underworld Son was about to be suppressed by Lin Xun, to their surprise, a blood-red divine sword flashed out of its sheath.

Bang!

The blood-red, foot-long, two-fingers-wide sword displayed unparalleled power and held its own against the Broken Blade!

“That guy has so many treasures...”

Many people marveled, eyes glinting with envy.
