The Prodigies War
chapter-1474

Bang!

On the battlefield, Niu Zhenyu’s fist blasted downwards like a tremendous mountain crashing down, sending Lin Xun flying back once again.

Almost at the same time, Dark Blood Magi Saint flourished his bone hammer to take advantage of the opportunity to kill Lin Xun. Unfortunately for him, Lin Xun narrowly avoided the attack with the God Burning Wings.

“Damn it!” Dark Blood Magi Saint’s face turned dark.

It was already disgraceful for two Saints to join forces to attack and kill a junior who had yet to reach the Saint Stage. The world would be ashamed of them.

But what embarrassed them now was that Lin Xun, who they regarded as an ant, seemed barely able to defend himself, but they still could not kill him!

Unbelievable.

When did an ant below the Saint Stage become qualified to face a True Saint?

It was true that both of them were seriously wounded, but they were still Saints after all! In the past, they could crush someone like Lin Xun with just the tip of one finger!

But today, everything seemed different.

Niu Zhenyu and Dark Blood Magi Saint could both tell that the reason why Lin Xun survived this far was partly because he had the help of the magical winged treasure.

But more importantly, his foundation was incredibly solid!

Any one of his three paths of cultivation, qi refinement, spirit cultivation or physical refinement, trumped that of anyone in his generation and made him invincible among them!

The two Saints struggled to believe that such a heaven-defying monster existed in the world.

Rumble—

The battle continued unabated. From afar, it looked as though the sky and earth were collapsing amidst the torrents of divine light pouring out like waterfalls. It was a frightening scene.

Lin Xun’s entire body seemed to be combusting as he activated all his cultivation and powers to their limit. Dao light flared around him, and rays of colorful light constantly beamed from him.

Although he was knocked back and put into a perilous situation again and again, to everyone’s surprise, he was hardly wounded from the beginning to the end.

Moreover, as time went by, the more he fought the more courageous he became!

In the past, he had indeed slaughtered many True Saints, but that was, after all, by relying on the power of the life-killing Stupa heart.

And now, he was relying on nothing but his own strength and cultivation to go head to head with two True Saints!

Even if the two True Saints were in a wounded state, it was still an amazing feat that would astonish many people.

After all, in the past, rarely had anyone at the longevity stage ever been able to hold their own against someone at the superior Saint Stage like Lin Xun had done!

For Lin Xun, this achievement also filled him with excitement.

After returning to the lower world, he had never slacked off his training, but the opponents he encountered along the way were all ‘too weak.’

Even experts such as Niu Tuntian and Meng Lianqing were not good enough in his eyes.

When he came to Mulberry Woodland, the opponents he encountered were all far too strong and terrifying—each one was a mighty Quasi-Emperor.

Lin Xun had no chance to find out how strong his cultivation had become so far.

It was only in this battle against two True Saints, Niu Zhenyu and the Dark Blood Magi Saint, that he finally had an idea what sort of level his combat strength had presently reached.

It could be said that the reason why he jumped out and confronted the two Saints was because he wanted to use them as whetstones and to test his strength.

“Little bastard, come and die!” Niu Zhenyu roared like a clap of thunder. His voice alone was powerful enough to crush even longevity king stage experts.

But Lin Xun’s stable mind and solid spirit meant that he was completely undaunted.

Boom!

Utterly infuriated, Niu Zhenyu activated his killing move, transforming into a mountain-like jet-black bull with a body that was a thousand feet tall. His four hooves were like pillars holding up the sky, glowing with obscure Saint Dao Laws.

“Is he going all out?” Niu Tuntian was dumbfounded. He was originally thrilled, thinking that Lin Xun was gradually sinking into a worse state and that he was doomed. He never thought that he would see such a scene.

It made him immediately know that something was wrong. He felt a chill go throughout his body.

An Lingzhen’s smile froze on his face as he also realized something was wrong just like Niu Tuntian did.

“Die!” Following a thunderous roar, the mountains and valleys within hundreds of miles collapsed and crumbled under the force of Niu Zhenyu’s tremendous body.

Lin Xun tensed up, and his expression turned solemn. He repeatedly activated the God Burning Wings to allow him to maneuver through the terrifying shockwaves like a ray of light.

Even so, he was still subjected to the omnipresent pressure. The formidable power of the Saint Path was so turbulent that he felt like a lone boat rocking on a vast ocean, with danger of capsizing at any moment.

“Old man, are you not doing anything?” Niu Zhenyu bellowed, his hair shooting up in anger.

He was already severely injured, and now he exhausted all his strength into that attack. If that failed to kill Lin Xun…he did not dare to think about the consequences.

Swoosh!

Before he finished speaking, Dark Blood Magi Saint had already sprang into action. The white bone hammer suddenly grew to thousands of feet long as brute god phantoms projected from its body. The splendid light it released made the world seem dim. It was as though time had been transported back to the turbulent times of the ancient wilderness.

Visibly, Dark Blood Magi Saint’s wrinkly and bony face had turned much paler.

Undoubtedly, that blow also exhausted the power of Dark Blood Magi Saint!

“If that guy is not killed, he will definitely become an unimaginably problematic thorn in the future. Fortunately, he is doomed to die!” Guang Fuqing clenched her fists, feeling relieved.

She felt suffocated and almost broke down when she saw Lin Xun’s previous performance. She could not imagine how terrible it would be for someone like Lin Xun to become a Saint.

But now, she was sure that Lin Xun was doomed under the combined furious attacks of two True Saints!

The eyes of Niu Tuntian and An Lingzhen both gleamed with nervousness and anticipation. Similar thoughts had run through their mind.

……

The winner was about to be determined.

Even though the two True Saints were seriously injured, their full-power blow would force even True Saints of their level to evade the fatal attack, let alone Lin Xun!

At that moment, the vast world, the mountains and valleys in all directions, seemed to be blanketed in a layer of frightening aura of destruction like it was going to be obliterated.

Niu Tuntian, Guang Fuqing and An Lingzhen watched nervously, full of expectation.

At that moment…

No one noticed a burst of peculiar and obscure power erupting from Lin Xun.

Shua!

An illusory, gorgeous ray of light flashed like a feather in the air.

Then, everyone went still!

It was true stillness. The power, aura, light and everything in the world that was in constant motion suddenly froze.

That moment, to all living beings in the world, was extremely unnoticeable, passing in the blink of an eye.

But in the eyes of a cultivator, life and death could be decided in that split second!

This was the order of time. The operation of heaven and earth, the creation and destruction of all things, everything that living beings thought, imagined, and did were operated in time.

Even for those at the Emperor Stage, they strove to break the shackles of time to reach a state of great freedom and great independence, thereby achieving their long term goal of immortality.

Imaginably, the laws of time were terrifying.

But now, a moment of time...

…was stopped!

Then, in that moment, Lin Xun avoided Niu Zhenyu’s killing strike as well as the white bone hammer launched by Dark Blood Magi Saint.

It was also at that moment that the No-Nonsense Bow was fully drawn and the Biluo Arrow shot out.

……

For Emperors, time could be called a shackled supreme power.

For True Saints, it was impossible for them to break free from the shackles of time.

Niu Zhenyu was completely unaware of what happened. After time froze, everything had changed, but he was still charging forward to kill Lin Xun with that blow.

But suddenly, a frighteningly sharp arrow was a hair’s breadth away from him!

The aura coming from the arrow was so terrifying that his face blanched, and his soul almost left his body. But it was already too late to dodge or block it.

Bang!

His head that was as huge as a building was pierced in the spot between his eyebrows and scarlet blood jetted out like a waterfall.

When Dark Blood Magi Saint glanced at the scene, he was paralyzed and screamed out, “How is that possible?!”

His voice was filled with incomparable fear and terror.

For a moment time stood still and everything around seemed to stop. It was bizarre but also chilling.

For the first time, Dark Blood Magi Saint felt as small as an ant. A feeling of despair like death was everywhere, enveloping him.

This was the power of time.

Even if it was for only a moment, it was still terrifying, even to powerful figures such as Saint experts.

Boom!

With a deafening explosion, Niu Tuntian’s huge body suddenly was torn to pieces. His head, neck, chest, limbs...were all reduced to flesh and blood by the fierce arrow qi!

From afar, the crimson flesh and blood dropped from midair like a concentrated river of blood.

At the same time, a mournful cry rang out from the sky, stirring up the surrounding areas.

Rumor had it that the death of a Saint was accompanied by the mourning of heaven and earth!

Dark Blood Magi Saint snapped awake, his gaunt face distorting with horror. Is he dead?

In the blink of an eye, a powerful True Saint like Niu Zhenyu was killed?

For the first time ever since he started cultivating, Dark Blood Magi Saint was gripped with fear!

In the distance, Niu Tuntian, Guang Fuqing and An Lingzhen stood petrified, their minds gone completely blank.

In that moment time stood still, they did not feel anything at all, because the time was too short. It was just a moment.

But it was in that moment that a gory and horrifying scene happened, sending their minds and thoughts into a state of shock.

The blood of a Saint sprinkled down, vibrant red and poignant.

This was the power of the innate divine power Time Stopping!

It was also the first time that Lin Xun used the divine power that he was born with and that had been passed down in his bloodline.

Its power was comparable to a forbidden power in the legends. Even Lin Xun was stupefied by it.

Time!

This was a power that caused fear even in Emperors. Before this, Lin Xun only knew about it, but did not truly understand the meaning.

But now, he understood.

The power of time was indeed frightening!
