The Prodigies War
chapter-1739

Boom!

In the Kunlun Ruins, a golden figure emerged from a collapsed ancient temple.

With a stretch, he grew to tens of thousands feet tall, towering into the sky. When he exhaled, it was as though wind and thunder were raging under the sky!

His body appeared a pure gold color and his qi surged into the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds in every direction. He stood like a golden divine being watching over the world.

“Who is it?” The golden figure’s voice boomed like a clap of thunder from the sky.

With a stretch of his hand, a figure thousands of feet away was caught like an insect.

“I am Shan Feng, a successor of the Primordial Dao Court. Fellow Daoist Xu, pleased to meet you!”

It was a handsome man in a jade-colored robe with extraordinary poise, but at this moment his face was pale with fear and his body shaking.

The golden figure questioned him coldly, “Hmph, why are you hiding here?”

“My Senior Brother Kun Jiulin has been killed. I came here to ask for help from Fellow Daoist Xu,” Shan Feng quickly explained.

The golden figure wrinkled his brow and tossed Shan Feng away with a flick of his hand. “Tell me then, who killed him?”

“Lin Xun!”

“I understand.”

The golden figure nodded, and the next second, his ten-thousand-foot-tall body turned into a streak of light and darted into the void.

Only then did Shan Feng breathe a long sigh of relief, as if he had escaped death.

Xu Lingkun!

He was a core descendant of the Imperial Xu Clan and a peerless demon Saint ranked thirteenth on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings. He shook the world with his amazing physical cultivation.

In the face of such a terrifying character, even if Shan Feng was a successor of the Primordial Dao Court, he dared not show any signs of disrespect.

“The ancestors of the two great imperial clans, the Kun Clan and the Xu Clan, are both one of the Primeval Seven Demon-Beast Emperors. The descendants of the two clans have always had a close relationship as if they shared the same blood...” Shan Feng murmured, “It seems like this is true, but I wonder how a terrifying demon-beast Saint like Xu Lingkun plans to deal with Lin Xun.”

……

“The Fengshan Platform...that heretic is going there...”

In a treacherous swamp area, a monk in black was pacing slowly. His every step saw a lotus blooming, casting dark Buddhist light.

A strange, bewitching black lotus symbol was marked on the top of his head.

“In the battle of Imperial Dragon Mountain, that heretic displayed powers far stronger than before. If he is allowed to live, he will grow to be even more terrifying.” The black-robed monk’s eyes shone calmly.

“We can’t wait any longer...” he came to a decision after a thought.

……

PA!

Lin Xun crushed the token given to him by Meng Yi.

Following a bizarre ripple, a door appeared in midair.

Then, the elegant Meng Yi in scholar robes, the Xuanji Dao Sect successors Ji Qian and Jiang Heng marched out in a file.

“Brother Lin, I have been waiting for you,” Meng Yi said with a smile, looking rather pleased.

Lin Xun also smiled. “I got delayed by some affairs. I hope you three can forgive me.”

Meng Yi said with understanding eyes, “I heard that a bloody battle broke out on Imperial Dragon Mountain and Lin Xun single-handedly crushed all enemies. This matter has caused a huge sensation in the Kunlun Dominion.” His voice filled with admiration.

Lin Xun simply continued to smile and said nothing.

He noticed that both Ji Qian and Jiang Heng had an obvious change of attitude towards him; there was less hostility and more subtle fear.

However, Lin Xun also noticed that Jiang Heng had made a breakthrough and stepped into the supreme Big Saint Stage in the past ten days.

As for Ji Qian, his aura was also much stronger than before.

As for Meng Yi, he seemed as gentle and modest as always, but Lin Xun had a feeling that his cultivation had improved tremendously. His bearing, aura, and demeanor also changed ever so slightly.

Evidently, Meng Yi, Ji Qian, and Jiang Heng had acquired a lot of opportunities and fortunes during this period!

“Brother Lin, it seems you are ready. How about we head to the Fengshan Platform now?”

After a brief exchange of greetings, Meng Yi suggested.

“Alright.”

Lin Xun and A’hu exchanged a glance and agreed.

Meng Yi led the way and the group followed.

On the way, Meng Yi sent a voice transmission to the others, “According to the intel I received, many remarkable characters have also set their sights on the Fengshan Platform, and many have already taken action a few days ago.

“For example Zhuanyu Heng. I’m surprised that guy actually came to the Kunlun Ruins. If he hadn’t suddenly appeared in a secret realm three days ago and killed dozens of cultivators, no one would have known that he had come.”

Zhuanyu!

It aws a extremely old imperial surname.

And Zhuanyu Heng was an extraordinary character from the Zhuanyu Clan. He was known to be ruthless and having a fiery temper, but he had amazing strength and abilities, earning him the tenth place on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings!

As everyone knew, anyone ranked in the top one hundred of the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings was regarded as an elite top Big Saint figure.

Anyone ranked in the top fifty was considered an authority figure in the Big Saint Stage!

And those who were ranked in the top ten…

Each was regarded as a leader of the Big Saint Stage, a talent that was rarely seen in years and the supreme among their peers. They outshined all their peers like the brightest sun in the Ancient Nebula Road.

Zhuanyu Heng was one of them!

The fact that Meng Yi specifically mentioned him showed that he was secretly wary and afraid of him.

Knowing this, Lin Xun actually thought that this was quite normal.

Previously, although he had subdued and killed many characters listed on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings, their rankings could only be called average.

Even the most powerful opponent he had faced, Gu Cangxin, was only close to the top fifty.

He found it strange as to why he had never encountered any of the top ten figures on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings, but now he understood.

People like Zhuanyu Heng might have appeared long ago, but no one had actually noticed.

“There is something else. I heard that some of the characters ranked in the top ten of the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings have already made a breakthrough and ascended to become Saint-Kings.” A’hu whispered to Lin Xun. “Some are in closed-door cultivation in preparation for their ascension and would not venture out unless absolutely necessary.”

A’hu deliberately reminded him, “In addition, don’t underestimate those who are not on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings.

“The Ancient Nebula Road is vast and boundless, and there are countless talents in the world. There is no way a list can include every peerless character in the world.

“For example, none of the successors from the Three Dark Giants of the Ancient Nebula Underworld are on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings, but you have also seen how powerful Sha Liuqing is.”

Lin Xun nodded.

A’hu suddenly pursed her lips. “For example, Brother Lin, who would have believed that you would be so strong? You single-handedly slaughtered many powerful characters ranked on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings. In this world, there is no lack of incredible people like you.”

At this moment, Meng Yi spoke again, “Brother Lin, in addition to Zhuanyu Heng, you also need to beware of Xu Lingkun. He is a descendant of the Imperial Xu Clan. If he knew that you killed Kun Jiulin, he would definitely come for you to avenge him.”

Then, he explained the relationship between the Imperial Kun Clan and the Imperial Xu Clan to Lin Xun.

This did not surprise him, but he was curious about the title the Primeval Seven Demon-Beast Emperors.

Very quickly, A’hu explained to him, “The Primeval Seven Demon-Beast Emperors are the seven strongest demon-beast emperors in the primeval times. Their descendants are called Seven Demon-Beast Emperors descendants.

“For example, the ancestor of the Imperial Kun Clan, Demon-Beast Emperor Nie Kun, is one of the Primeval Seven Demon-Beast Emperors. He once tore the sky apart with his bare hands and swallowed up thirteen worlds in one gulp. He possessed remarkable abilities and magical powers.

“The ancestor of the Imperial Xu Clan is Demon-Beast Emperor Xuan Ying, one of the Primeval Seven Demon-Beast Emperors. His true form is the legendary ferocious beast Yingzhao, and he is equally as powerful as Demon-Beast Emperor Nie Kun.

“In the Ancient Nebula Road, the clans of the Primeval Seven Demon-Beast Emperors are all now a colossus existence. Some clans may be less powerful, but they are as strong as the Great Ten Battle Clans and the Great Six Courts in terms of foundation.”

The group talked as they moved forward, and Lin Xun also learned more about the Ancient Nebula Road.

Only now did he realize that there was so much more to the ‘imperial clans.’

……

Three hours later.

Lin Xun and the others arrived at the top of a volcano that was spewing lava.

There stood an ancient five-colored altar. It seemed to have existed for eternity, radiating a feeling of age and history.

“Once you pass this altar, you will reach the forbidden world where the Fengshan Platform is. However, this journey is bound to be perilous, so everyone must be extra cautious and vigilant.” Meng Yi reminded them as he led everyone onto the five-colored altar.

He flicked his sleeve and a jade bottle flew out, unleashing waves of chaos qi into the altar.

Before long, the altar erupted in a blaze of light, causing terrifying earthquakes.

When everything returned to normal, Lin Xun and the others were gone from the five-colored altar.

“That heretic has indeed appeared...”

Far away from the volcano, a monk in black appeared out of thin air. He held a withered wooden staff in his right hand and a black bowl in the other.

“Sha Liuqing, it’s already come to this point, so why don’t you come out to greet me.” The black-robed monk suddenly shifted his attention into the distance.

“Hmph, a Holy Apostle of the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect is not of the same kind as a Netherworld Ferryman of the Earth Treasury Realm.” A low and soft voice rang out as wisps of gray mist condensed into a black shadow.

It was Sha Liuqing.

The black-robed monk said disapprovingly, “May I ask what is that boy’s ranking and bounty on your Holy Punishment List?”

Sha Liuqing asked in response, “What about your Earth Treasury Realm? Why do you regard that boy as a heretic?”

The black-robed monk said calmly, “He stole an inheritance from the Earth Treasury Realm and also took a forbidden treasure. If that heretic is not eradicated, then it will be an intolerable injustice.”

Sha Liuqing nodded in acknowledgment and said indifferently, “Then I might as well tell you that the boy is just one of our small targets, ranking at the bottom of the Holy Punishment List. His bounty is also not that much, only thirty dao crystals.

The black-robed monk looked taken aback, as if he had not expected Lin Xun’s pathetic rank on the Holy Punishment List or his low bounty.

This was totally beyond his expectations.

Given the strength and foundation he had demonstrated, it should not be like that….

It’s too low!
