The Prodigies War
chapter-1563

The large emerald-green lake resembled a mirror embedded amidst the mountains with fiery-red lotuses growing atop its surface.

At this moment, however, the picturesque scene was dominated by an air of murderous intent.

More than a dozen supreme Saints from the Great Luo Territory surrounded the lake, forming a blockade. They exuded astonishingly powerful auras that caused the color of the surrounding world to change.

While each of them was unique in their own way, all of them were carrying swords.

Some carried swords on their backs, some hugged their swords, some balanced swords across their knees, some hung swords on their waists, and some allowed their swords to hover in front of them.

They were evidently a group of supreme Sword Saints!

The Great Luo Ancient Domain was a sword cultivator world with numerous sword sects and swordsmen. It was a world where the sword was supreme.

Among the nine domains, the Great Luo Ancient Domain was easily top three in terms of combat power. It was due to their abundant sword cultivators who were famous for their ferocious and frightening combat ability.

Lin Xun never imagined that so many Sword Saints would appear in a remote area amidst the mountains.

Moreover, every one of them had attained the supreme path through the sword!

However, it only made Lin Xun frown. He didn’t stop and instead walked forward and gazed at the lake where a mysterious, illusory door floated in the air.

There was no need to guess that these supreme Sword Saints were here for this secret realm. Additionally, the Young Master they mentioned was likely already inside.

"A youngster from the Ancient Wasteland Domain."

"No, he’s a supreme Saint!"

Meanwhile, the dozen or so supreme Sword Saints immediately locked onto Lin Xun. Their eyes flickered in thought as surprise emerged on their faces.

"Could it be him?"

A beautiful black-clothed woman with a sword in her arms seemed to guess something that made her raise her eyebrows.

"Who?"

The black-clothed woman slowly said, "There are currently only three supreme Saints from the Ancient Wasteland Domain, Shaohao, Ruowu, and the notorious Lin Xun."

Wisps of sword-will surged in her eyes, so sharp that they sliced open countless cracks in the air.

"His youthful appearance and his transcendent aura perfectly resemble the rumored Lin Xun. So who do you guys think he is?"

A commotion rose as soon as the words left her mouth.

It’s him!?

The supreme Sword Saints’ eyes narrowed in unison. They swiftly withdrew any contempt they felt as fierce auras spread from them.

Their auras locked on Lin Xun, ready to move at any moment. Murderous intent flowed in the air as they displayed a mix of astonished, curious, and amused expressions.

To think that he dared to appear in the Great Luo Territory!

Above the lake, red lotus flowers disintegrated into powder and scattered onto its surface, dyeing it a rouge-like red.

In this moment, the atmosphere was so oppressive that anyone would struggle to breathe!

A person preceded his reputation. At present, Lin Xun was famous among experts from all nine domains. In fact, his feats were still one of the hottest topics in the Nine Domains Battlefield.

He once turned the Blood Demon Territory upside down and slaughtered so many of their experts that their reputation took a painful blow.

He had also set up Saint-grade arrays that trapped and massacred the seven domains alliance army, executing seventy supreme Saints and annihilating an army of 210,000.

Who wouldn't know this infamous and formidable individual whose hands were stained with blood? Who would dare to look down on him?

However, these supreme Sword Saints didn’t expect to encounter Lin Xun here.

It was a genuinely huge surprise.

"Lin Xun, how dare you trespass into the Great Luo Territory? Aren't you afraid of death? As far as I know, you’re the leader of the Ancient Wasteland Territory. If you die...the Ancient Wasteland Camp will collapse and disappear!"

A handsome young man with a sword on his back displayed an arrogant and aloof expression as he looked over with a chilling gaze.

His words caused the atmosphere to grow increasingly heavy.

If it was any other ordinary True Saint, the terrifying murderous intent alone would cause their mind to crumble, causing them to fall into despair.

However, Lin Xun appeared unconcerned despite being surrounded by so many enemies. He drew his finger across the air, creating a light screen that displayed Zhao Jingxuan’s image.

"Have you seen this person?"

It was the same question although every expert who had heard it was now dead.

The supreme Sword Saints were taken aback and confused.

They had previously thought that Lin Xun must have heard something and came here to sabotage their operation. Hence, they had been extremely on guard and didn’t dare to show any negligence.

Who could have anticipated that he had come here to look for someone?!

The black-clothed woman sneered and said, "Is this your lover? She looks very beautiful. However, judging from the situation, she probably already encountered a mishap. Otherwise, wouldn’t she have already tried to find you given your reputation in the Nine Domains Battlefield?"

There was a hint of sarcasm and gloating in her voice.

"Ridiculous!"

Someone else exclaimed with a cold expression, "If we had seen this woman, do you think...she would still be alive?"

"You foolishly came to ask for information from your enemies. Are you stupid? Even if we did see her, would we tell you?"

Someone sneered, feeling that Lin Xun's actions were simply...brainless!

Lin Xun dissipated the light screen. He looked at the group of supreme Sword Saints and asked, "So you guys cultivate the sword?"

The group sneered again. "You don’t say!"

Was there any cultivator in the Great Luo Ancient Domain who didn’t cultivate the sword?

"Are you guys brave enough to view a certain sword move of mine?"

Lin Xun was unruffled.

His nonchalant words, however, sounded like the most humiliating provocation to the supreme Sword Saints.

They were Saints who had achieved the supreme path through their sword dao and had immersed themselves in the way of the sword for countless years. Even in the Great Luo Ancient Domain, they were Sword Saints who were revered by millions.

And yet, a young man from the Ancient Wasteland Domain was asking them if they dared to view his sword. How arrogant was he?

"Hmph! We'd love to see what's so amazing about your sword. If it isn’t good enough, you won’t be able to escape today."

Someone snorted coldly as the sword qi around him soared into the sky, stirring the wind and clouds.

"Sword cultivators are extremely vicious. They would rather break than bend and they kill without fear. For daring to say something like that, you must leave your head behind today!"

One of the Sword Saints displayed an indifferent expression as his clothes fluttered around him.

Someone mocked, "According to rumors, he is a dao rune master. How ridiculous is it that a dao rune master dares to challenge us with sword dao?"

Despite their words, the supreme Sword Saints didn’t display any negligence and circulated their qi in preparation.

They had naturally heard of Lin Xun’s formidable strength but as supreme Sword Saints, they refused to believe that they didn’t have the capability to view a single sword move from him!

Clang clang clang!

Swords began to hum and vibrate like the tide, resounding across the sky.

Every supreme Sword Saint was akin to a divine sword that possessed the power to pierce heaven and earth. Even their auras rippled with peerlessly sharp sword-will.

The surrounding area seemed to fall into turmoil as murderous intent suffocated the air.

"A single sword is enough to shatter your courage!"

Lin Xun abruptly raised his head as his deep, abyss-like eyes seemed to pierce the air and sweep across the group like a pair of divine swords.

In that instant, several people felt their hearts tremble as their bodies stiffened.

Their eyes flickered wildly as they felt an inexplicable pressure that made them immediately circulate their auras to the limit.

More than a dozen supreme Sword Saints were akin to more than a dozen unparalleled divine swords. Their combined sword-wills reached into the sky and covered the land, causing the terrain within a thousand miles to collapse in an instant as every rock, blade of grass, and tree was turned to dust by the ferocious sword-wills.

A dao sword appeared behind Lin Xun and abruptly flew forth.

It was completely noiseless and silent.

The sword was clean and void of impurities like a pool of the clearest spring water in the world.

However, a completely different scene was reflected in the eyes of the supreme Sword Saints.

What should have been a single sword seemed to multiply into thousands and millions of swords. The swords were densely packed together into a torrent that crammed heaven and earth, filled the mountains and rivers, and engulfed the cosmos!

Omnipresent and all-pervasive.

The countless swords transformed into layers of sword arrays that enveloped the sky and covered all space!

Sword dao was the fiercest offensive dao.

This sword, however, displayed the essence of the infinite, immeasurable, and omnipresent. It was both terrifying and fierce to the extreme.

Boom!

The entire world seemed to explode, unable to withstand the endless and infinite power of the sword.

Ferocious collisions rang out, accompanied by angry, shocked, and alarmed cries. The rampaging sword qi was so brilliant and dazzling that it made the sun and moon appear dim in comparison.

The handsome young man was the first to succumb. His life-bound Saint sword wailed in agony as he groaned in pain while bleeding from his seven orifices.

Almost immediately after, the beautiful black-clothed woman was shredded to a bloody mess by numerous swords, unable to defend or neutralize the assault.

The supreme Sword Saints were gravely injured one after another. Some were pierced, some had their arms cut off, and some were sliced in half by the waist...

All of this occurred in a split second!

The seemingly endless sword qi roared, causing the surrounding world to lose color.

"Impossible!"

"What kind of sword dao is this? How can it be so terrifying?"

"This…this is the inheritance of our Great Luo Ancient Domain’s mortal enemy, Sword Emperor Taixuan!"

Fearful screams, miserable shrieks, and angry roars echoed amidst the rumbling torrent of sword qi.

More than a dozen supreme Saints had been seriously injured. Their expressions morphed drastically, no longer calm and composed like before.

They struggled with all their might but were unable to escape.

The sword qi was simply too dreadful, omnipresent, and all-reaching. It was mysterious beyond mystery and impossible to fathom!

It reminded them of a terrifying existence that once suppressed all sword cultivators in the Great Luo Ancient Domain.

Sword Emperor Taixuan!

The man who was hailed as the Ancient Wasteland Domain’s number one sword emperor in the primeval era!

When the sword qi and dust finally dissipated, the entire area was devastated. There was nothing but signs of ruination and destruction everywhere.

Even the large lake had turned into a humongous, bottomless ravine laced with numerous cracks.

The dozen or so supreme Sword Saints were drenched in blood and bore terrible injuries. They looked extremely miserable and there was no trace of their previous elegance.

A single sword move had severely injured more than a dozen supreme Sword Saints.

In this moment, even the sky and land fell deathly silent.
