The Prodigies War
chapter-1317

All eyes watched unblinkingly.

A dazzling figure sped through the sky, dao light flowing around him, as if transforming into a giant abyss and illuminating the world.

It was precisely Lin Xun.

He turned out to be unscathed in the collision, but more shockingly, his mighty power intensified.

Boom!

He took a step forward, and the surrounding space split with cobweb-like cracks, spreading farther and farther, while he soared into the air like a roaming dragon.

He blasted a fist forward.

“Hmph!”

Almost at the same time, Yun Qingbai appeared in the sky. A pure white robe billowed around his slender frame, and his silky black hair swirled around his rippleless face.

With a sudden grabbing motion, a streak of sword qi turned into a vortex of sword qi and whizzed across midair.

Rumble! Rumble!

A fierce exchange broke out once again. The sun and moon dimmed, and the universe seemed to turn upside down as blazing sword qi and blinding fist light poured out like the most splendid light in the world.

Faintly, vibrations of dao sounds stirred up the nine heavens.

The entire audience was in a state of shock, many of whom looked horrified.

In the sky, it looked nothing like a duel between two people, but a showdown between an unrivaled sword god and an unparalleled demon god in ancient times.

Too unbelievable.

Even the overlord-like figures who were also at the seventh longevity tribulation stage could not hide their shock. Their spirits trembled slightly.

They had to ask themselves, if they were in Lin Xun’s or Yun Qingbai’s spot, would they be able to stand a chance against the opponent?

Imperial Son Shaohao, Fairy Ruowu, Ye Mohe, Wang Xuanyu and Mi Hengzhen did not utter a word, but watching the formidable battle, their fighting spirit was ignited.

The duel made them feel an upsurge of emotions!

As for the less powerful cultivators, their spirits were already terror stricken. They stared lifelessly at the battle, unable to pry into any details.

“Destroy!”

Overhead, Lin Xun’s aura was as unfathomable as an abyss. The next second, a punch blasted forth and a frighteningly powerful force spread outwards.

Martial arts connected with the divine. The punch was like an immortal performing martial arts—very rarely seen in the world!

Even the almighty sage who created the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art would be impressed by Lin Xun’s punch!

Boom!

Yun Qingbai’s vortex of sword qi soon failed to withstand the force and broke apart, giving way to the terrifying fist power flooding out and coming straight at him.

Bang!

Yun Qingbai managed to dispel the punch.

But the space beneath his feet shattered apart, and he staggered. Clearly, the punch was so terrifyingly strong that he also suffered from the impact.

The world quaked and the shockwaves were enough to send some cultivators unable to retreat in time staggering backwards and coughing up blood!

“Come again!”

Lin Xun’s eyes blazed with fighting spirit, and his qi and blood coursed through him.

With a flash, he seemed to have teleported across the battlefield. He raised his fist into the air with a force that could swallow up mountains and valleys.

Boom!

The battle grew more and more intense. The two repeatedly clashed and fought across the nine heavens. The shockwaves constantly spread like vast torrents.

“Retreat!”

“Hurry and hide, we can’t dispel that!”

“It's too powerful and wild!”

The spectators drew back again and again, their expressions changing indefinitely from amazement, to shock, to horror.

If the battle hadn’t taken place in the sky, then it would have set off an unpredictable disaster.

Imperial Son Shaohao, Fairy Ruowu and others also had to move aside; otherwise, they would definitely be swept into the battlefield.

Someone muttered in a daze, “This is a true unmatched battle, isn’t that right?”

They were at the same cultivation stage, but the strength they had grasped differed vastly.

Some were just ordinary kings and not even at the supreme level.

Some hovered at the top and looked down at their peers.

However, Yun Qingbai and Lin Xun were different. They both had transcended the supreme and reached the pinnacle. They had an invincible bearing, an awe-inspiring foundation, and unbelievably strong powers.

Bang!

After another collision, Yun Qingbai wildly retreated. Lin Xun knocked him back once again!

The audience erupted into a burst of exclamations.

Before the battle, the majority of the audience thought optimistically about Yun Qingbai and had absolute confidence in his strength.

But since the battle began, Yun Qingbai not only did not have the upper hand, but was als repeatedly knocked back by Lin Xun. Who would not be surprised?

“The world underestimates how terrifying my big brother is!” Toady smiled smugly.

From the moment Lin Xun decided to lie low on Flying Star Mountain, he already knew that Lin Xun did not see Yun Qingbai as a threat!

“Yes, while Yun Qingbai is still thinking about retaliation, Big Brother is concentrating on physical training. This is the difference and gap between them!” A’lu nodded, palpitating with excitement.

“Don’t look so triumphant already, you two. The battle has just begun.”

The big black bird reminded them, “Do you not see that neither Lin Xun nor Yun Qingbai have brought out their true trump cards yet?”

Not only the big black bird, but other peerless overlords also noticed this, which made them feel unspeakably bitter. The two had yet to activate their true strengthsm but it was already enough to make them feel threatened.

What sort of terrifying trump cards would the two unleash when they go all out?

“It’s time for the fun to end.”

Suddenly, Yun Qingbai exuded an aura that would rather break than bend and would never waver.

Boom!

Suddenly, a group of sword qi rose like an endless river.

Each one was imbued with a unique great dao aura, including the five elements, yin and yang, wind and thunder, cloud and mist...

Buzz—

Instantly, sword qi flooded the world, and everywhere was filled with the roar of swords, obscuring the sun and the moon.

“One hundred and eight thousand swords!”

As an indifferent voice sounded, the sword qi converged with a roar and transformed into an incomparably vast vortex under countless horrified gazes.

Composed of one hundred and eight thousand swords, the vortex was as condense as a sword field. As it rotated in the air, the world seemed to be distorted and the nearby areas became crushed, collapsed, and exploded.

Everyone was aghast, chilled to the core. Is this the true power of Yun Qingbai?

“One sword transforms into ten thousand, which he controls all with one hand. Yun Qingbai has reached an unimaginable level in the way of the sword!”

Imperial Son Shaohao, Fairy Ruowu, and other peerless overlords were also astonished and looked rather solemn.

That strike was tantamount to one thousand swords springing into action, with the potential to take down thousands of enemies at once!

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. From the beginning of the battle, he never underestimated Yun Qingbai’s strength. He had always viewed him as a formidable opponent and his greatest enemy.

But when that sword was unleashed, he realized that Yun Qingbai was stronger than he had thought.

With this thought, Lin Xun did not waver at all.

Boom!

The punch was bland and unremarkable, but as the fist moved through the air, everyone’s expressions changed.

The fist had an indescribable charm that connected with the divine. Perhaps, it could be called the dao.

Heaven and earth possessed beauty without words.

The most spectacular scenery was hidden from view.

Once any skill in the world reached the ultimate level of transcendence, it, on the contrary, would display no earth-shaking aura or eye-catching appearance.

It had nothing but a type of truth.

This truth aligned with the dao.

Many cultivators were dazzled by the sight, and their minds seemed to wander. If Yun Qingbai’s sword pierced the heaven and earth and possessed tyrannical power, then Lin Xun’s fist was following the dao. Each had their own splendid style!

Boom!

The huge vortex of sword qi roamed across the world, swallowing up the universe and distorting everything along the way.

But the punch smashed and crushed the sword qi with unstoppable force, creating bursts of deafening noise.

Incomparably violent air currents swept the world.

Some cultivator’s spirit senses were wounded from the force, and some had their spirit damaged, bleeding from their mouths and noses. Some turned as pale as paper, limp and trembling.

After all, the collision was too fierce!

Boom!

An ear-splitting explosion announced the collapse of the vortex of sword qi. Sword qi whirled and scattered across the void.

Had it been resolved?

No!

Yun Qingbai suddenly let out a long roar and drew his finger across the air.

“Ten thousand swords unite!”

The sword qi that filled the sky instantly gathered and integrated with one another, forming a single sword in the blink of an eye.

The three foot long and two inch wide sword hovered horizontally in the sky like an illusion.

It was only one sword, yet it gave the feeling of the ruler of heaven and earth. Time, space, and nothing could obscure or diminish its sharpness!

“So strong!”

The expressions of Imperial Son Shaohao and others also completely changed. They sensed a terrifying murderous aura coming from the sword.

Shua!

The sword slashed through the air.

Lin Xun’s robe whipped around his abyss-like body as he drew a deep breath and extended a finger.

A Moment of Spring and Autumn.

However, it was activated via the Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer dao, so the vast power of A Moment of Spring and Autumn burst forth with all sorts of grand dao power.

Boom!

Amid deafening collision nosies, Lin Xun was blasted back a few steps, blood trickling down the corners of his lips.

On the other hand, Yun Qingbai’s figure swayed a little and his face was slightly pale, but apart from that, he showed no visible signs of injuries.

The audience fell utterly silent.

Was Demon God wounded in that attack?

Everyone had all seen that Lin Xun was ridiculously powerful from the very beginning, dealing one blow after another to Yun Qingbai, and causing quite a stir in the audience.

But now, it seemed like he was falling into a disadvantaged situation under Yun Qingbai’s fierce sword attack!

The faces of Toady, A’lu, and the big black bird all turned overcast.

On the other hand, cultivators who had always supported Yun Qingbai could not help but erupt in cheers of excitement.

“Lin Xun is strong, but unfortunately he’s too young. When Yun Qingbai embarked on his cultivation path, he was not yet born. In terms of foundation, he is still a little inferior to Yun Qingbai,” Ye Mohe sighed.

Only the peerless overlords understood how terrifying Yun Qingbai was. It was unfortunate to be born in the same era as him.

Lin Xun, in terms of age, could not even be called a peer of Yun Qingbai!

This was the difference between starting cultivation early and later.

“Does that mean Demon God Lin will be defeated this time?”

Someone refused to believe it.

Lin Xun had remained undefeated ever since he started cultivating. Was he going to lose to Yun Qingbai this time?

“Not necessarily!”

Imperial Son Shaohao narrowed his eyes ever so slightly, and divine light burst forth from them. “Now, the real show has just begun!”

Huh?

Everyone looked perplexed at him.

Lin Xun suddenly said aloud, “Yun Qingbai, bring out your sword, otherwise, you will regret it when you die!”

His voice was surprisingly calm, and as he was speaking, he wiped away the blood stains on the corners of his lips with his hand. He might have suffered a blow, but his eyes were bright and intimidating.

“Absurd!” Yun Qingbai’s expression was like ice.

Boom!

Lin Xun attacked without another word.

It was still a simple punch, but it destroyed the clouds in all directions and seemed to smash the sky, creating a deafening explosion.

The power of the punch seemed about to crush the universe!

“How is that possible?”

The audience was dumbstruck.

Seconds ago, Lin Xun was knocked back, but now, he was like another person, becoming much stronger than before!

Could it be that he never fought with all his strength before?

Their guess was correct.

Lin Xun had activated Yazi’s Rage and Sacred Combat Art.

“That’s Lin Xun’s foundation, which is unfathomable and unpredictable. When everyone thinks that he has exhausted his strength, he would often surprise them with something more unbelievable,” Imperial Son Shaohao sighed.

“Destroy!”

Facing the punch, Yun Qingbai narrowed his eyes slightly, but there was not a flicker of fear. He unhesitatingly displayed his own swordsmanship.

Shua!

Magnificent sword qi filled the sky with sword shadows, causing the world to quake and the sun and moon to turn upside down.

It slammed hard into the fist power coming straight in his direction.

Rumble!

The fist power and sword qi clashed before both dissipated and disappeared.

They were evenly matched!

“I already told you that your power is not enough!”

Lin Xun was speeding through the air with terrifying killing intent like a demon god.

Boom!

They clashed once again. Yun Qingbai staggered, and his face turned ice-cold.

“How did Demon God Lin suddenly become so strong? He couldn’t hold on earlier...”

The audience was bewildered.

“I’m certain that Lin Xun had been holding back his strength.”

Many peerless overlords were also shaken by Lin Xun’s strength. He’s able to hold his own in a duel against someone like Yun Qingbai! How strong is Demon God Lin...?

“Die!”

Lin Xun threw a punch. The earth rumbled, yin and yang reversed, and an astonishing rift was torn open in the sky.

From afar, it looked like the sky was splitting.

“Destroy!”

Yun Qingbai’s eyes flashed as sword qi raged out like a monstrous wave. With a flutter of his robe, he soared into the air and made a slashing stroke with his sword.

Lin Xun was unfazed, standing motionlessly in the same spot.

As for Yun Qingbai, his sword qi was destroyed, his figure flew back ten feet from the force of the punch, and his face alternated between livid and ashen.

“Come again!”

Lin Xun’s aura intensified as he shot forward like a streak of light.

The punch was full of momentum and unstoppable power!

“He…”

The entire audience was petrified by his superiority, as if they were witnessing a divine being striking down from the sky. The power of the fist made them all feel suffocated.

Bang!

Yun Qingbai was blasted back once again and struggled to suppress the mouthful of blood. His long hair was disheveled, and he had completely lost his usual composure.

Everyone’s eyes went wide!

Before this, Lin Xun was knocked back.

But now, everything had been reversed!

All those changes happened within seconds. It was so fast that many people were caught off guard and could only stare dumbfoundedly at the battlefield.

“Very well, to die under my Omega Sword, you will have no regrets!”

Yun Qingbai drew a deep breath, revealed a look of determination, and soared into the sky in a majestic manner.

With a clang, the sword box on his back opened to reveal a dull ancient sword that had been lying unused for a long time!
