Chapter 1504 A Bloody Journey

Black-Striped Demon Wasp!

From one glance, Lin Xun identified the origin of the inconspicuous-looking black wasp.

Shua!

Almost at the same time, the Broken Blade lunged out to kill.

“You can’t escape.”

Without any surprise, the Black-Striped Demon Wasp was killed, body pulverized. Even at death, the vicious creature left some chilling words.

Lin Xun did not linger around and left at full speed.

Before coming to the Nine Domain Battlefield, he had already found out about the specific situations of the other eight domains, so he was well aware that the Black-Striped Demon Wasp was hard to deal with.

The clan was known for their thirty-six pairs of strange compound eyes, which allowed them to see through disguises and deceptions, and they also were born with a natural tracking talent.

No one could escape from them once they locked on their target.

Lin Xun did not want to be targeted like that. That would be too passive.

“Although the target has escaped, I have locked onto his aura.”

Very quickly, a young man with snowy-white hair and beard appeared, draped in a golden crane cloak. He had a frightening aura around him.

On his shoulder sat a thumb-sized Black-Striped Demon Wasp, and it was the wasp that spoke aloud.

The young man in the golden crane cloak nodded and darted away with a flash.

Before long, another group of figures appeared, men and women, and each wore a murderous look on their face. They were headed by a powerful expert at the supreme ninth longevity stage.

“This way!”

They were also guided by a Black-Striped Demon Wasp.

“Let’s go!” The group immediately took action.

Similar scenes were happening in different areas.

With successors of the Black-Striped Demon Wasp Clan leading the way for them, the reinforcements did not have to search around like headless chickens and could directly track down the target.

......

Boom!

After the time to burn an incense, Lin Xun was obstructed by a group of experts and a fight quickly broke out.

Lin Xun responded quickly and swiftly, summoning the Broken Blade right away as well as activating the Taixuan sword qi. Brilliant sword qi and a shining sharpness engulfed the area.

Several moments later.

Lin Xun flew into the air.

Where he originally stood was left with multiple corpses and pools of blood.

In that clash, seven supreme eighth longevity tribulation stage experts and fourteen ordinary ninth longevity tribulation stage experts were killed.

The battle made Lin Xun realize that in the other domains, not everyone had embarked on the Supreme Path.

After thinking about it, it made sense.

Millions of people were in the Supreme Realm back then, but only less than ten percent had entered the Upper Nine Realms.

Similarly, only a group of people succeeded in reaching the Supreme Path in the Upper Nine Realms. The rest had the opportunity to tackle the supreme king stage, but they either failed to overcome the tribulation or they failed to seize the opportunity!

In the other eight domains, the Supreme Path might have always existed and had never been cut off, but did that mean that anyone could embark on this path?

Which cultivator who had stepped onto the Supreme Path had not gone through tribulations and hardships? For example, Lin Xun, Imperial Son Shaohao or Fairy Ruowu.

......

One hour later.

Lin Xun was obstructed once again. This time his opponent was a young man in a golden crane cloak—A cultivator at the supreme ninth longevity tribulation stage!

After assessing his opponent, Lin Xun had only one thought in mind: Go all out and kill the opponent so as to not waste any time. Otherwise, other troubles would catch up to him if he stalled for too long.

Meanwhile, the young man in the golden crane cloak felt that he was facing a formidable enemy. He sensed that the opponent from the Ancient Wasteland Domain was rather unusual.

But he was not too afraid. On the contrary, he believed that, given his strength, although he might not be able to kill the opponent within a short period, he would have no problem in holding him back for some time.

Therefore, before a battle broke out, he had already planned to not try to accomplish anything, but rather avoid making a mistake.

But when he actually faced the opponent, he realized how terrifyingly strong he was!

Boom!

Lin Xun charged forward, gathering the power of A Moment of Spring and Autumn into his finger and sent the youngster staggering backwards with a blast while coughing up blood. Then, he quickly followed up with the Taixuan sword qi. His body erupted with dazzling sword qi to engulf the opponent.

However, the young man in the golden crane cloak was just as fierce. Braving the danger of being split open, he unsheathed a Saint treasure-level black blade and swung it at Lin Xun.

Lin Xun refused to retreat or evade. He just balled his hand into a fist, and with a boom, the black blade flew across the air, wailing and screeching.

At that moment, Lin Xun was only inches from the young man, and he thrust his palm forward. The Bi’an Stamp that was filled with the power of the Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer condensed in the air and struck the young man hard.

The young man was already slashed by the Taixuan sword qi and caught off guard, and he had let his black blade escape from his grip. Aware of the dangerous situation, he was about to frantically retreat, but he never thought that Lin Xun would follow up with such fierce and domineering attacks, allowing him not a split second to catch his breath!

How abnormally strong is he?

The young man in the golden crane cloak was so terrified that his spirit almost flew out of his body. If he had known that the target of this hunt was so strong and ruthless, he absolutely would not have waded into these muddy waters.

He originally still had some trump cards and tricks up his sleeve.

But Lin Xun’s onslaught was too relentless and allowed him no chance to counterattack.

One wrong step had a domino effect!

Boom!

The Bi’an Stamp smashed down and directly crushed the young man into a pool of remains on the ground, destroying both his body and spirit.

From the time that Lin Xun took action until now, only one breath had passed. He was too overwhelmingly strong and domineering.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, a supreme ninth longevity tribulation cultivator was terrifying, but in Lin Xun’s eyes, they were nothing special!

Swoosh!

With a sweep of his sleeve, he rolled up the spoils on the ground and then, with a flash, flew away at full speed once again.

To his surprise, the Flying Immortal Tablet gained a Fortunes of War Merits!

Clearly, the young man in the golden crane cloak is a remarkably talented person. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to possess great dao luck.

In fact, Lin Xun guessed right. The young man in the golden crane cloak was from the Golden-Winged Dragon Crane Clan, one of the top ten major clans of the Blood Demon Ancient Domain. His name was He Fangyun and he was renowned for his talent and incredible strength.

He came to the Nine Domains Battlefield with the intention of becoming a Saint.

He never imagined that he’d run into a fierce character like Lin Xun and be killed on the spot...

However, even if Lin Xun knew about He Fangyun’s identity and background, he would not care much. Countless Saints had already died at his hands, so why would he be concerned about killing someone of his generation?

......

Three hours later.

Lin Xun ran into some trouble.

Three groups of enemies had successively appeared from different directions. Each group consisted of seven to sixteen cultivators.

And among them, several were at the supreme ninth longevity tribulation stage!

It was already impossible for Lin Xun to retreat; his only option was to forge his way through.

In the end, Lin Xun beheaded thirteen people, defeated nine and found a slight opening to escape.

But as a result of that battle, a Saint had locked onto him and started to hunt him down.

......

The God Burning Wings were activated once again. Gritting his teeth, Lin Xun finally decided not to go around in circles anymore and darted straight towards the depths of the Spirit Refinement Forest.

He was certain that unimaginable dangers lurked in the depths of the Spirit Refinement Forest.

But at that moment, he no longer cared about this.

Even if he activated his divine power of Time Stopping to kill the Saint that was chasing him down, once his strength was depleted, how could he withstand the killing strikes of the other enemies?

Only by escaping into the depths of the forest might he have the chance to survive.

Shua!

The misty black God Burning Wings flashed incessantly as Lin Xun rushed into the depths of the forest at an incredible speed.

A Saint expert was at his heels.

It was a handsome man in a golden robe with long flowy sleeves. He had an extraordinary bearing, and his aura was also extremely frightening.

His name was Ding Shanhe, but even if he was a True Saint, he was not an official member of the Golden Demon Snake Clan.

She Zhen, who died at the hands of Lin Xun, had a higher status than him.

The reason for that was very simple: Ding Shanhe did not have the surname She, and he was not a descendant of the Golden Demon Snake Clan!

Of course, it was just a question of identity and status.

As a True Saint, Ding Shanhe’s combat strength earned him respect from many longevity stage cultivators.

“Young man, you can’t escape,” said Ding Shanhe leisurely.

He did not speak in a particularly loud tone, but it clearly reached Lin Xun’s ears. “You killed She Zhen. If I don’t kill you, then She Zhen’s brother, She Lin, will kill me. So you must die. But if you stop running now, I promise to let you die a pleasant death.

“Otherwise, if a member of the Golden Demon Snake Clan catches you, I guarantee you will prefer to die.”

Lin Xun pursed his lips and said nothing.

Ding Shanhe furrowed his brows.

The deeper it was in the Spirit Refinement Forest, the more dangerous it became. Rumor had it that creatures more terrifying than the spirit refinement ancestral trees resided in the depths of the forest.

This was general knowledge that everyone in the Blood Demon Ancient Domain knew.

Huh?

Ding Shanhe inexplicably felt a chill in his heart and a feeling of fear gripped him.

He abruptly raised his head, carefully scanned the surroundings and immediately concluded that they had already stepped into the hinterland of the Spirit Refinement Forest. The air was saturated with a bizarre, hair-raising power.

Almost at the same time, Lin Xun felt a chill down his spine, and he realized something was wrong.

The depths of the forest seemed to be resided by an unimaginably terrifying creature, producing a strange eerie power.

But in the end, Lin Xun still gritted his teeth and continued ahead.

He had no other way.

He was not only being hunted down by a Saint, but also other powerful experts. There were too many of them, and some were at the Saint Stage.

“Young man, if you stop, I’ll give you a...” Ding Shanhe’s voice rang again.

Lin Xun was ready to risk everything, but the Saint did not want to put his life in danger with Lin Xun!

However, before he finished his words, Lin Xun quickened his speed and darted deeper into the forest.

“Little bastard!” Ding Shanhe’s face went dark, and his eyes shone with a menacing light.

Chase or not?

He hesitated.

Finally, he took a deep breath, fought the urge to pursue after Lin Xun, and chose to stop.

The aura coming from the depths of the forest was too fear-inducing. Even a True Saint felt his hair standing on end. There was no way he would gamble with his own life.

“I’ll be waiting for you here. If you die inside the forest then that would be best. But if you come back alive, I will personally send you to death!” Ding Shanhe gnashed his teeth and threatened.

He flew into a rage out of shame. A high and mighty True Saint failed to capture a youngster who had yet to reach the Saint Stage.
