Chapter 1513 The Secret of the Absolute Hell Secret Realm

It could be said that Ding Shanhe and Ji Qing had top-class reaction abilities.

However, not even in their wildest dreams could they expect Lin Xun to have a forbidden skill that allowed him to stop time for a second.

Therefore, they had been caught completely off guard.

As they watched the Saint being killed, that feeling of being totally unprepared turned into a bolt that thundered in their minds!

He had killed a Saint!

A young man who had yet to become a Saint had used his own power to kill a Saint before their very eyes!

It shook their world view!

No matter how fast Ding Shanhe’s and his companions’ reaction speed was, they still zoned out at this moment as their minds were taken over by shock and horror.

Throughout history, such an appalling thing had rarely ever happened even in the Blood Demon Ancient Domain.

The threshold of the Saint stage was like a heavenly chasm, and it was already one of the hardest things to cross in existence.

And killing a Saint when one was still below the Saint stage was something that only ever existed in legends!

But now, that kind of surreal scene had come to life.

The sound of liquid flowing echoed as the Saint’s blindingly scarlet blood rained down. The sky was filled with mournful dao sounds.

If possible, Lin Xun would never miss this perfect opportunity to strike again.

Unfortunately, Time Stopping’s energy consumption was as heaven-defying as its power. Coupled with the Zhu Word Inheritance, they had drained his energy in a blink of an eye and left him in a very weakened state.

Therefore, without delay, Lin Xun leaped back into the abyss.

“THAT. LITTLE. BASTARD!” bellowed Ding Shanhe as his beard and hair flew in the flare of his fury.

Only then did Ji Qing and the other Saint recover from their shock. Glancing at one another, their blood ran cold as the lingering fear in their hearts was difficult to dispel.

They couldn’t help but think, what would have happened to them if that instantaneous strike had fallen on them instead?

The thought caused them to shudder!

In the great abyss, Lin Xun barely stabilized himself with the help of Little Silver and the Sky Splitting Demonic Butterfly. He then looked back at the remaining three Saints.

“Feel free to keep waiting here if you have the gall!”

After saying that, he disappeared into the abyss along with Little Silver and the demonic butterfly.

“Hoo...hoo...”

Ding Shanhe was panting. His hair was disheveled, and his face was incredibly gloomy.

In truth, he had also been frightened. Even now, there were still some palpitations remaining in his heart.

“The first time, he killed Hong Ling with an arrow and wounded Ji Qing in one attack.

“The second time, he captured Le Mujin and got away easily.

“This time, he...killed a Saint...”

The other Saint was in a trance whose all four limbs were trembling. “We’ve probably messed with...with an ant that we shouldn’t have messed with – one that has the ability to kill Saints...”

Ding Shanhe and Ji Qing glanced at each other and felt a chill run down their spines.

Upon reflecting on it, it looked like they had forced Lin Xun into a corner and trapped him. The result, however, was that their side had ended up with heavy casualties!

“What do we do now?” Ji Qing looked at Ding Shanhe.

If it was possible, Ding Shanhe would choose to leave without hesitation and abandon the idea of killing Lin Xun as this heaven-defying little monster could not be measured by common sense at all.

But the reality was that he couldn’t leave.

Because Le Xuexiu was coming!

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have followed Le Mujin and chased after him...” sighed Ding Shanhe. Facing this dilemma, he felt like he was riding a tiger. He couldn’t just get off.

In the end, he gritted his teeth. “Since it’s already come to this, we will wait for Le Xuexiu and tell him the full story. If he wants to punish us for it...humph, then we’ll just let him!”

Ji Qing and the other Saint also sighed.

At this point, they already had no other choice.

......

“Master, I heard those guys say that the Absolute Hell Secret Realm will open in three months, and it will provide an outpouring of opportunistic fortunes to realize a supreme Saint,” said Little Silver in the underground palace secret realm .

Lin Xun, who was focusing on resting to recover his energy, said, “I know about this secret realm. It will descend three months after the opening of the Nine Domains Battlefield.”

He had come to the Nine Domains Battlefield with an important purpose: to become a supreme Saint.

Back in the Ten Thousand Tribulation Palace, the golden cicada youth had given him guidance, saying that his opportunity of Sainthood lay not in Mulberry Woodland, but in the Nine Domains Battlefield.

Therefore, before coming to this place, Lin Xun had already learned quite a lot about ‘becoming a supreme Saint.’

The Nine Domains Battlefield was very special as it was a dimensional world located in the center of the nine great domains.

It was littered with bizarre and dangerous regions, as well as numerous secret realms that could be considered mini worlds.

Some of these secret realms had already been explored by many predecessors in the previous two domain conflicts and proved to hold opportunistic fortunes to raise supreme Saints.

The Absolute Hell Secret Realm was among them!

Three months after the opening of the Nine Domains Battlefield, it would appear at the center of the region where the Nine Domains Battlefield and the Ancient Wasteland Domain intersected.

When this secret realm opened, only peak ninth longevity supreme Kings would be qualified for entry.

Those who didn’t meet this requirement would be blocked outside.

As the saying went, ‘A precious treasure lands its innocent possessor in trouble.’ In the first Conflict of the Nine Domains, the chance to enter the Absolute Hell Secret Realm had played a major part in why the other eight domains had joined hands to oppress the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Besides the Absolute Hell Secret Realm, there would be other secret realms appearing one after another within the period of one year, and they would also hold the fortunes that helped one become a supreme Saint.

Some of them were related to inheritances, treasures, and secret arts; all of which would make even Saints drool.

Lin Xun already knew these things by heart.

When he informed Little Silver about them, the latter couldn’t help but say, “Master, won’t we miss the chance to enter the Absolute Hell Secret Realm if we are trapped here?”

Lin Xun disagreed, “My path to realize the dao is different from theirs. I need no opportunistic fortunes; I need only to wait for the right opportunity.”

Lin Xun had long realized this back in the Supreme Realm, so he wasn’t concerned about whether or not he would be able to enter the Absolute Hell Secret Realm.

Moreover, in this mysterious underground palace secret realm , there were already many trials and ordeals.

For example, the Mind Killing Chamber’s trial had transformed Lin Xun’s mindset.

The Ultimate Dao Pavilion’s tempering had helped Lin Xun build a connection between all of his grand daos as well as the foundation for his future dao body.

They were no different from any opportunistic fortunes.

In addition to this, this place was also home to an unusual spirit refinement ancestral tree and a Quasi-Emperor Void Holy Beast’s skeleton!

If possible, Lin Xun even wanted to meditate here while waiting for the opportunity to certify his supreme Sainthood.

Just like a flower that would evolve its best scent upon blooming, once he was strong enough, his opportunity would come to him naturally!

Lin Xun said with a smile, “Don’t slack off, Little Silver. After I become a supreme Saint, I will find you an opportunity that will also help you step into the supreme Saint stage.”

Little Silver nodded fiercely.

“Don’t forget about me, Master,” echoed the clear and cold voice of the Sky Splitting Demonic Butterfly in Lin Xun’s ears. “After I finish refining the space power in this skeleton, I’ll be able to metamorphose and enter the ninth longevity stage. At that time, I’ll also need to prepare for the supreme Saint stage.”

Hearing this, Lin Xun and Little Silver looked at each other, speechless.

The speed at which this demonic butterfly grew was just devastatingly fast!

Both Lin Xun and Little Silver had gone through countless trials, tribulations, and killings over the years in order to realize their dao paths.

It was only with tireless effort that they were able to achieve what they had today.

On the contrary, the Sky Splitting Demonic Butterfly had just awakened not long ago, but thanks to the skeleton of the Quasi-Emperor Void Holy Beast, it was already breeding the idea of becoming a supreme Saint!

Little Silver comforted Lin Xun, “While its words are not easy on the ear, don’t take them to heart, Master. Little Sky just woke up after hibernating for who knows how long, so the fast progress is understandable.”

Lin Xun was angry. “Like I need you to comfort me.”

Next, he plunged into meditation with his whole body and mind.

The previous attack that had let him kill a Saint in one go had seemed to be a clean execution, but in reality, it had used all of his power.

Through it, though, Lin Xun verified that even if he was to confront an ordinary True Saint in the future, he would have complete certainty of killing them!

As for now, Lin Xun knew full well that Ding Shanhe’s group were extremely wary of him, so it was no longer possible for him to ambush them like last time.

He intended to meditate here for a while.

His only unsettled concern was that he didn’t know where Zhao Jingxuan, Toady, A’lu, and his other friends were, and whether they had encountered any dangers.

......

Great Luo Territory.

Deep within a swamp covered in variegated mist.

Whoosh!

A streak of light silently shuttled through the mist.

This was an expert of the Fire-Eyed White Ape Clan. He was dressed in a beast outfit, had a vicious appearance, a powerful and stern aura, and carried a huge bone sword.

“All nineteen members of my clan disappeared after entering the Colorful Swamp. There must have been some kind of accident,” pondered the beast-clad man.

Suddenly, a black sun and a white moon suddenly emerged in the middle of the swamp. Reflecting each other, they were like a pair of black and white millstones as they shrouded over the beast-robed man.

Not good!

The man’s expression abruptly changed. He utilized all of his strength to fight back, but in just a blink of an eye, he was ground into a pulp which then fell into the swamp.

Deep inside the swamp, Toady was beaming as he swiftly collected his spoils.

Next to him, A’lu was erasing the traces of fighting.

After finishing, Toady’s golden pupils gleamed as he suggested, “A’lu, we should change places. If a powerful Saint is drawn here, then both of us will be finished.”

“Where to?” asked A’lu.

“To the Ancient Wasteland Territory and prepare for the Absolute Hell Secret Realm,” said Toady without hesitation.

“But this is the Great Luo Territory, the land of sword cultivators. If we are discovered by the enemy...”

“Then we beat the shit out of them! What are you afraid of?”

“Oh, okay.”

In the next second, the duo had soundlessly hit the road.

......

In a place filled with the ripple of water streams, the fragrance of flowers, the singing of birds under the backdrop of green mountains and a vast sky.

On the forest path, Zhao Jingxuan woke up from her meditation. She couldn’t help but fall into a trance after being greeted with the picturesque and peaceful scene.

From the moment she had entered the Nine Domains Battlefield, she had been teleported to this land.

At first, she had been wary and had acted with great caution.

But half a month had passed, and not to mention any dangers, she hadn’t even seen a single person.

She was all alone in this huge world!

What is this place?

Zhao Jingxuan had asked herself this question more than once.
