The Prodigies War
chapter-1698

Jiang Heng was stunned.

Less than two years had passed since the Conflict of the Nine Domains ended, but the thief who stole the Night Sky Jade Vine and other divine herbs in the Flying Immortal Battle Realm had already set foot into the Supreme Big Saint Stage!

Moreover, even Lu Beigu was no match for him.

This unexpected change made Jiang Heng completely space out in astonishment.

How was that possible?

Ji Qian knitted his brows tightly.

Before this, he had absolute confidence in capturing and killing Lin Xun, but after witnessing Lu Beigu being utterly crushed, he came to realize that Lin Xun was a tricky opponent.

Xue Qingyi pursed his lips wryly.

He originally thought that the peerless geniuses of the Ancient Nebula Road would be enough to deliver a fatal blow to Lin Xun, but who would have thought that Lin Xun, who had been at the same cultivation level as him back then, had already reached the supreme Big Saint Stage.

“Ancient Wasteland Domain…has an incredible character.”

Hua Xingli commented with a tinge of emotion.

Xue Qingyi felt more and more uncomfortable and upset. When he recounted Lin Xun’s evil deeds to Hua Xingli, he did not forget or miss out or exaggerate any one of them, but who would have thought that not only did it not spark shared hatred for Lin Xin, but instead led to a surprising exclamation of praise!

“This secular person has a strong murderous aura around him. He must have killed many in the past. I’d better not provoke him...” Ling Kezi of the Nanhua Ancient Temple muttered. He looked naive and harmless, but in truth, he possessed a rare talent that allowed him to see things that others could not.

For example, when Lin Xun was fighting against Lu Beigu, he saw a horrific scene of mountains of corpses, seas of blood, the sky collapsing and the earth sinking.

He couldn’t help but gasp in horror.

The atmosphere became silent and still, and everyone’s mood was subtly changing.

Lin Xun’s ability and strength deterred many people from snatching the Flying Immortal Tablet from him, but many were still full with determination and ready to make a move.

“Time is running out, the entrance to the Kunlun Dominion will soon open. If you haven’t given up then quickly do something. The fight just now was not very enjoyable.” Tang Su’s unique magnetic voice echoed throughout the area, fanning the flames again, and she did it so openly.

Clang!

With a clear sword cry, Wei Ziya stood forward, an iron sword hovering above his head. Multiple sword shadows emerged and projected millions of phenomena.

Almost at the same time, the space quaked, and Kun Jiulin stepped forward. His aura was terrifying and mighty like an erupting volcano!

Clearly, both wanted to take action!

“I’ll do it.”

Wei Ziya’s expression was stern and cold. Murderous qi surged out from him, shaking heaven and earth.

“Move aside.”

Kun Jiulin frowned. He did not expect Wei Ziya to dare to compete with him.

Lin Xun suddenly stepped forward and said calmly, “Save the trouble! Why don’t you both come at me? To be honest, if you attack one by one, none of you are good enough.”

The entire audience gasped audibly.

Lu Beigu’s defeat proved Lin Xun’s strength, but that did not mean he could arrogantly look down on the others.

In particular, his opponents this time were Wei Ziya and Kun Jiulin.

The former was a true successor of the Great Luo Sword Mountain and a mighty sword cultivator who killed without scruple. His incredible strength had earned him a position of 279th on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings.

The latter was a successor of the Primordial Dao Court, a pure-blooded descendant of the Imperial Kun Clan and a renowned cultivator ranked 244th on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings.

Even in the entire Ancient Nebula Road, which of his peers dared to look down on him?

“That boy is too arrogant!”

“He’s from the Ancient Wasteland Domain after all. He does not yet know the immensity of heaven and earth…he is ridiculously thinking too highly of himself.”

“Haha, interesting. It’s been a while since I’ve seen such an arrogant character. I hope his strength and combat skills will match his arrogance, otherwise...his life will be in danger.”

Sneers rang out from the audience.

Lin Xun had an air of arrogance and superiority like he was above everyone else, which made them a little uncomfortable.

Only A’hu felt unjust for Lin Xun, because she thought that what Lin Xun said was right, so why was he being seen as disrespectful?

Ultimately, the others simply had no idea how strong Lin Xun was.

This was why their prejudice arose.

Swoosh!

In response, Lin Xun tossed the Flying Immortal Tablet in his hand into the air.

At the same time, his sleeves danced and his black eyes scanned the audience. “The tablet is here. If you think I am just arrogant, then come get it!”

He said each word loud and clear, and the aura around him became amplified as if transformed into a boundless and immeasurable giant abyss that was about to engulf the world.

Lin Xun seemed to have become a different person. Hair whipping in the wind, he stood like a mighty god by the banks of the Flying Immortal River.

Many people took a deep breath and their faces paled. They felt as if they had fallen into a glacial cave. What a terrifying aura!

Some experts clamped their mouths shut and ceased all sneering, hair standing on end.

In their eyes, Lin Xun seemed to have suddenly turned majestic and towering, and his powerful aura was bearing down on their bodies and minds.

“Huh?”

“My body is instinctively reacting. Does that mean that guy has the skills and strength to compete with me?”

“Interesting.”

At this moment, Wen Qingxue, Hua Xingli, Tao Jianxing, Ling Kezi, Yan Chunjun and others felt a powerful force coming at them, causing the qi in their bodies to circulate by itself.

Their gazes changed again when they looked at Lin Xun, as if they were seeing their ‘own kind.’ This was a complete surprise to them, or perhaps unbelievable.

When did such a person appear in the Ancient Wasteland Domain?

Clang!

Tang Su was the most direct of them all. She drew the Skycutter Blade with a swift motion and her eyes gleamed under the brim of her hat. She said enthusiastically, “Brother, you have successfully caught our interest.”

“You want a fight?” Lin Xun asked with a smile, putting his hands behind his back. He looked incredibly calm as if he regarded the crowd of cultivators as nothing.

This was not because he was arrogant nor that he did not know how to behave with forbearance, but that he knew that if he did not establish a commanding image, he would be targeted by countless flies once he entered the Kunlun Dominion.

He had to seize this opportunity to make them know pain and strike fear into them so that they would become obedient and well-behaved!

“Yes.” Tang Su nodded and answered in a straightforward tone.

“Get in line then.”

Lin Xun pointed at Wei Ziya and Kun Jiulin in the distance. “Just line up behind them. Of course, if you want to join their attacks, that’s fine with me too.”

Tang Su rolled her eyes. “Who says I want to join them?”

In the distance, when Lu Beigu witnessed the true power of Lin Xun, he finally snapped out of his state of shame and anger. It finally dawned on him that his defeat was not that embarrassing!

That guy might not be well-known, but he is actually a tough opponent!

The faces of Wei Ziya and Kun Jiulin turned solemn. The change in Lin Xun’s aura made them feel a kind of pressure.

But this did not mean that they would allow Lin Xun to trample on their dignity as he wished!

Get in line…

He had gone too far. He clearly thought that they were bound to lose.

A fierce battle was about to break out when—

Buzz—

Above the Flying Immortal River, a strange rumble suddenly boomed out, followed by a mysterious portal emerging out of nowhere.

The entrance to the Kunlun Dominion was about to open!

Suddenly, everyone trembled inwardly and ignored everything else and launched into action without hesitation.

“Let’s go!”

“There’s no time to lose. The opportunities in Treasure Refining Land are limited. First come, first served.”

“Quick.”

With various shouts and cries, the experts gathered in different areas along the Flying Immortal River teleported away one by one.

It was like streaks of rainbows shooting into the sky!

It was a dazzling and spectacular scene.

“Hmph! You better pray that you won’t run into me in the Kunlun Dominion.”

Wei Ziya snorted, stamped his feet in anger, and soared into the air.

Given the current situation, it would certainly do more harm than good to continue the duel.

“I heard that my good-for-nothing cousin Kun Shaoyu was killed by you. You can’t escape.” Kun Jiulin stated in a grim voice before he also flew away.

Lin Xun held back from stopping them from leaving.

He only wanted to establish his authority. It would be unwise to miss the opportunity to enter the Kunlun Dominion because of this.

“But, this should be enough. Ordinary characters likely won’t dare to bother me anymore...”

Lin Xun’s dark eyes flashed. If he ran into Wei Ziya and Kun Jiulin in the Kunlun Dominion, he would not mind getting rid of them!

“Let’s go.”

A’hu came over.

The two also sprang into action.

“Brother, you better be careful. The guys you saw may not be enough to instill fear in you, but there are many more true tough characters hiding in the dark who have witnessed your performance.” Tang Su sent a voice transmission to Lin Xun. “With the Flying Immortal Tablet in your hand, you can resolve many great dangers, but you will also be targeted by many people. Well, take care of yourself.”

Lin Xun looked up and saw Tang Su darting into the entrance of the Kunlun Dominion like a bolt of lightning.

“Did she mean that there are people in the dark who are more powerful than Wen Qingxue, Hua Xingli and the others?”

Lin Xun’s dark eyes narrowed. “If so, are they characters ranked at the top of the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings?”

While he thought about it, he had already entered the entrance of the Kunlun Dominion together with A’hu.

Following a wave of peculiar energy, the two figures vanished from the spot.

Not long after that, a figure bathed in gray mist drifted over from the distance.

It was a young man with sunken eyes and a stick-thin body. His eyes glowed an unusual brown hue, and as he moved, dense mist rose and filled the air as if he was a demon from hell.

He raised his head and stared at the place where Lin Xun disappeared, muttering, “The plan of quasi-Emperor Baqi was ruined by that boy. Let me end this cause and effect.”

Shua!

The next moment, he faded into a wisp of gray mist and rushed into the entrance of Kunlun Dominion.

“Sha Liuqing of the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect...he’s here too...”

Suddenly, the space rippled and a monk in black emerged. His smooth forehead was marked with a black lotus mark.

He watched the gray figure disappear and thought for a moment, then he stepped into the air. With every step he took, a black lotus bloomed at his feet.

Every footstep made a lotus grow!

Kunlun Dominion, one of the four four great dao dominions!

Regarded as the birthplace of the great dao, it attracted all kinds of supreme fortunes and also drew the attention of the entire Ancient Nebula Road.

Of those who were qualified to enter it, who would want to miss out on its fortunes?
