The Prodigies War
chapter-1669

The void quaked, the stars resonated.

The Omega Lord’s imposing and majestic body was akin to the incarnate of the great dao, his every action stirring up waves of mysterious and unfathomable great dao power.

Meanwhile, all sorts of inheritance and insights were rushing forth in Lin Xun’s mind like raging torrents and bombarded his spirit.

Then, the figure of the Omega Lord suddenly paused, stretched out his right arm, and made a slight flicking motion with his finger.

Thousands of stars were annihilated into nothingness.

The vast boundless void dissipated like shattered glass.

Boom!

The frightening power that emerged from the explosion of the void and the annihilation of the stars were all swallowed into the Omega Lord.

His bearing visibly became much more terrifying, and his figure was like a giant black hole in the universe.

Where he stood had already become a void of nothingness, but when he stepped forward, even the void was swallowed up and exploded.

Then, the mysterious eternal star road emerged.

The various insights came to an abrupt end.

Lin Xun snapped awake. An inheritance art was clearly imprinted in his mind—

“Devour the sky, swallow the earth, and seize the great power of the void as my own. The great void is boundless, my power is infinite, my body is immeasurable, my arts are endless...”

Several mysterious and obscure ripples of inheritance power roamed about, transforming into the Great Endless Devour Scripture!

This was a core inheritance of the great dao, a true scripture of the great dao that the Omega Lord created after years of conquest and searching for the dao for all eternity.

Moreover, the heart of the scripture was precisely the innate talent of the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer!

The Great Endless Devour Scripture could be said to be a supreme scripture created by the Omega Lord for the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer.

Having mastered the Great Endless Devour Scripture, the Omega Lord defeated one authority figure after another in his conquest!

If any other cultivator was to get their hands on this scripture, they would struggle to comprehend its secrets because everything was useless without the talent of the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer.

Lin Xun obviously would have no difficulty in practicing this art.

“His mantle, his legacy, and his lifetime of dao insights have all been integrated into this scripture. The Omega Lord is truly a man of remarkable talent in his lifetime, a being who surpasses all ages...” Lin Xun couldn’t help but sigh after thinking silently for a long period.

The Great Endless Devour Scripture was not just a cultivation art.

It contained analysis of the great dao, insights and understanding of the dao path, and details of dao arts… It was extremely profound and one of a kind in the world.

But it had an obvious systematic problem.

It was impossible to grasp it without the innate talent of the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer!

“Are you awake?” A clear and cold voice sounded in Lin Xun’s ears, snapping him out of his deep thoughts. He abruptly raised his head and saw the mysterious woman had been standing beside him without him realizing it.

The cemetery was empty, and numerous tombs stood like trees. The mysterious woman had wisps of dao light swirling around her graceful and slender figure, like a fairy gracing the earth with her presence. Her face was completely concealed.

But even so, she still gave Lin Xun a sense of inviolable sanctity.

The mysterious woman stated, “You have been sleeping for one month.”

Lin Xun looked taken aback. He just had a dream-like experience, but by the time he woke up, one month had already passed?

“Elder, were you not killed by the wisp of fixation of the Omega Lord?”

Lin Xun remembered that it was the mysterious woman's reminder that stopped him from agreeing to becoming Omega Lord’s disciple.

But because of this, the mysterious woman was blasted away by the Omega Lord and disappeared.

Lin Xun thought that the mysterious woman had met her end.

“This Omega Secret-Realm is a treasure he left behind. Although he was only a wisp of fixation, he was still the master of this place. I obviously am no match for him, but he also can’t kill me that easily.” The mysterious woman’s voice was cold and devoid of emotions, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.

Lin Xun heaved a sigh of relief, “Elder, did the world behind the Omega Door disappoint you?”

The mysterious woman answered, “Misfortune and good fortune go hand in hand. This calamity instead made me remember some things from a long time ago.”

She looked straight at Lin Xun and continued, “And you, after going through this great calamity, have you not also received great fortunes?”

Lin Xun was silent for a moment before he nodded solemnly.

Although he almost died after he pushed open the Omega Door, he also received some unexpected benefits.

He learned that the Omega Lord’s real name was Luo Tongtian, and he was an ancestor of his mother’s lineage and they were related by blood.

The ‘mantle’ left by the Omega Lord was called the Great Endless Devour Scripture, and it was now in his hands.

However, regardless of how much Lin Xun thought about it, he could not remember how the Omega Lord’s wisp of will and fixation was eliminated.

He only had a faint memory of the daoist verse he inherited from Fangchun Mountain resounding in his heart...

“Is it the Dao Endless Pagoda?” Lin Xun spaced out again.

Back when he was in the Return Dominion, that verse, which seemed to be crafted from the great dao, was absorbed into the Dao Endless Pagoda, and it had never appeared once during all these years.

Despite Lin Xun searching for it, he could not find a hint of aura of the verse, as if it had vanished into the Dao Endless Pagoda.

Who would have thought that, after so many years, the daoist verse would resound in his heart again?

He had a feeling that he only managed to survive the disaster because of that verse that had disappeared into the Dao Endless Pagoda!

Additionally, he had another mysterious harvest—

It was the Star Atlas Symbol that had integrated into his heart and then vanished without a trace!

However, he still had no idea about the purpose or use of this Star Atlas Symbol. He could only deduce that it was likely to be connected to the mysterious eternal star road.

“The secrets within this door have been revealed, and the power within it will flow away with time. In less than one thousand years, the Omega Secret Realm will cease to exist,” stated the mysterious woman. “Before then, I plan to go into closed-door cultivation here.”

She looked at the nearby cemetery that consisted of one thousand and nine tombs. Except for one, all the other tombs had a stone table in front of them that was arranged with all kinds of unusual items.

To ordinary cultivators, this ancient cemetery was just the Omega Lord’s glory and accomplishments from his infinite battles over the years.

But in the eyes of the mysterious woman, each one of the tombs hid profound secrets that could only be pried by those at the Emperor Stage and above!

“Closed-door cultivation?” Lin Xun said in puzzlement.

“I told you a long time ago that I am just a wandering soul with no memory. I have been waiting in front of this door for a long, long time, hoping to find my memory and know who I am.” The mysterious woman explained, “The power in this cemetery can help me with this.”

Understanding dawned on Lin Xun.

“Take this, you will no longer be able to freely enter and exit the Omega Secret-Realm as before, but if you activate this jade hairpin, I will come to you.”

The mysterious woman tossed a jade hairpin to Lin Xun.

The jade hairpin had a simple and traditional style and was crafted from a type of mysterious pure black jade. The character “Xi’ was engraved on it.

It felt gentle and cool in Lin Xun’s grip.

“I also gained a lot from the opening of the Omega Door. Before it disappears, if you encounter a life-and-death situation, don’t hesitate to ask me for help.”

The mysterious woman reminded him, “Remember, it must be a life-or-death situation. You already possess the dao you want to pursue, and you have already seen through the wonderful truth that external objects are not trapped in the mind, so you should follow your heart’s desire, but you must not overstep the boundaries. In short, you can regard me as your guardian.”

Lin Xun nodded and accepted the jade hairpin.

Foreign objects and external forces were all a part of one’s strength. For example, treasures, the power of a sect, and the power of friends...

If one insisted on solving all problems with one’s own strength and refused or even scoffed at external help, one would fall into a rut and fall behind.

As the mysterious woman said, he should follow his heart’s desire, but just not overstep the boundaries!

“Now, I will see you off. Do you have anything else that you want to ask me?”

Lin Xun swept a glance over the tombs and said aloud, “Elder, you said before that you had never heard about the Omega Lord in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, nor did you know about the authority figures who had been defeated by the Omega Lord.

After a pause, he continued, “I reckon that the Omega Lord and all the figures represented by those tombs all come from the other side of the cosmos.”

The mysterious woman was taken aback at first, then her eyes glinted strangely. Other side of the cosmos.

Lin Xun muttered to himself, “There is also an empty tomb, which should be left by the Omega Lord for himself. I saw him carrying a bronze coffin and striding away. But whether he is dead or alive, no one knows.”

“Do you think that he is still alive?” the mysterious woman asked.

“I don’t know.” Lin Xun’s eyes were unfathomable.

Soon, Lin Xun bid her farewell and planned to leave.

The mysterious woman did not urge him to stay but just flicked her sleeve. An invisible force enveloped Lin Xun and guided him out of the place.

“Remember, I am called…Xi.” The mysterious woman’s voice sounded before Lin Xun left the Omega Secret Realm.

Xi…

Lin Xun thought about the jade hairpin gift, and the elegant character ‘Xi’ engraved on it.

So that’s her name.

……

Star Chess Sea. On an island.

In a wooden hut, Lin Xun slowly opened his eyes. The surroundings were dim, but he could faintly hear the waves slapping the rocks.

His experiences in the Omega Secret-Realm felt like a lifetime ago!

After a long while, his emotions calmed and he released his spirit sense.

On the island, Toady and A’lu were having a drinking contest. Their cheeks were already flushing red, and they were stumbling and lurching forward, but both of them had their eyes wide open as though determined to hold on until the end. Neither of them would willingly admit defeat.

Little Silver and Little Sky were watching from the other side, cheering the two on.

Further away, the big black bird was pacing around with a big black pot on his back, eyes darting around and shooting glances at Toady and the others from time to time, looking as suspicious as a thief.

Seeing those scenes, Lin Xun smiled to himself and had no plans to come out of closed-door cultivation just yet.

He had just received the mantle from the Omega Lord, so he was eager to test it out. What wonders and secrets were contained within the Great Endless Devour Scripture that was centered around the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer?
