The Prodigies War
chapter-1803

Kaboom!

A staggering collision echoed between heaven and earth.

Lin Xun’s figure remained immovable while the gray-robed elder, who had rushed toward him to attack, wobbled for a second before stabilizing himself.

A shock ran through the entire audience, and everyone’s pupils dilated.

Even the Chi Lingzi, Shui Biyun, and the other supreme geniuses revealed looks of astonishment.

They were confident that they could also suppress Zhang Bairong as it would be a battle between the same cultivation stage, but if they were to face off against a Saint-King, then the gap in power would be a bit too wide.

Yet, a supreme Big Saint had been able to take a Saint-King head-on right before their eyes. This was simply appalling.

Who is he?

Why have I never heard about such a character in the Great Yu World before?

“Old fogey, if you don’t know any better, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Lin Xun’s voice was devoid of emotions.

He helped Yu Yunhe this time because he had received a great favor from Yu Qingyang. As long as he was around, he would not tolerate Yu Yunhe being bullied.

The gray-robed elder’s complexion alternated between blue and purple before he finally took a deep breath and said, “Release Zhang Bairong, and this matter ends here.”

Lin Xun said categorically, “Apologize first, then I’ll release him.”

“You…” The gray-robed old man was enraged. His sleeves puffed up as a fierce might surged out from him, causing many cultivators nearby to choke on their breaths.

This was the might of a Saint-King.

“Continue doing that if you want to watch him die.” Lin Xun couldn’t care less as he flicked his finger.

The pressure came down on him like a landslide, but it ended up being like a fresh breeze brushing against a mountain. Not even the corners of his clothes were blown up.

Meanwhile, Zhang Bairong, who was suppressed to the ground, was so uncomfortably in pain that his vision was filled with stars, and he felt like he was quickly collapsing into his demise.

The onlookers around were unable to remain calm. In this Great Yu World, who would dare to oppose a high-ranking elder of the Alchemy Dao Sect like this and even threaten him?

Only Yu Yunhe was inwardly puzzled.

Did Elder Ma Taizhen say nothing to his sect about him being suppressed by Lin Xun after he returned?

Otherwise, how could this gray-robed old man have the guts to confront Lin Xun? That’s being simply tired of living.

“I…I’m sorry!”

At this moment, it was actually Zhang Bairong who conceded first, no longer paying any heed to his ego with the threat of death looming over him.

The gray-robed elder let out a long sigh.

The other disciples of Alchemy Dao Sect present also wore expressions of shame and indignation. Zhang Bairong’s yielding to the opponent made them feel disgraced as well.

“To err is normal; to correct a mistake is the greatest good. I hope you’ll remember this lesson because the next time you mess with me, you won’t be so lucky.” Lin Xun raised his hand.

In this instant, Zhang Bairong was frightened as he felt like a huge mountain had been lifted off of him. After being helped up to his feet by his fellow disciples, he no longer dared to or had the face to remain in the area.

“We will remember this lesson, young man!” snorted the gray-robed elder, his eyes flashing with malice.

Lin Xun smiled without a care.

Under normal circumstances, he would have shown no mercy to this kind of attitude. He could have just killed this old man and walked away since he wasn’t a cultivator of the Great Yu World anyway.

But in this situation where Yu Yunhe was present and the opposing party came from Alchemy Dao Sect, killing Zhang Bairong and the old man would definitely implicate Yu Yunhe and bring more trouble to him in the future.

Seeing Zhang Bairong, Mu Xiuqi, and their group leaving in disgrace, Yu Yunhe felt unbelievably joyous.

As for the onlookers, they now looked at his group in a new light.

In fact, many of the gazes directed at Lin Xun had taken on apprehension.

Of course, to supreme figures as Chi Lingzi and Shui Biyun, Lin Xun still couldn’t threaten them yet.

One reason was that they were confident that their combat power was almost invincible within the same cultivation stage. Another was that they all had Saint-King escorts by their side.

Lin Xun’s group, on the other hand, only consisted of four supreme Big Saints. Such a combination could not be considered a threat.

Swoosh~

It didn’t take long for the cold torrents covering Nine-Province River to start retreating, revealing the entrance to a secret realm in the sky above the river.

“Go!”

“Get moving!”

Many cultivators rushed over at the first opportunity. Aside from the supreme figures, many ordinary cultivators also jumped into action.

Although they held no far-fetched hopes for grand opportunities, they could still pick up some treasures, pills, and cultivation techniques, which would be no small gain.

“Brother Lin, shall we start moving as well?” Yu Yunhe turned to Lin Xun.

“Let’s go.” Lin Xun nodded and rushed into the entrance with his group.

……

In the Great Yu Secret Realm, ancient and undulated mountains expanded endlessly. Chaos qi permeated the sky, presenting a primitive meteorology.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Countless splendid teleportation lights sped through the sky. Some were riding immortal birds, some their flying swords and treasure ships…

Blotting the sky, they drew a spectacular sight.

Traveling among the tide of cultivators, Lin Xun and Yu Yunhe’s group was simply inconspicuous.

On the way, Yu Yunhe briefly introduced to Lin Xun, “The fortune land left by our clan’s founder is located in the Nine Cauldron Mountains. At our current speed, we can arrive there in less than half a day.

“However, that place is not something ordinary people can enter as it’s covered by an extremely terrifying restrictive power.

“Generally speaking, anyone who aims for the fortunes in the Nine Cauldron Mountains is definitely accompanied by a dao rune founder, otherwise, it’s very easy to get trapped and die in there.”

While talking, they speedily traveled forth.

The Great Yu Secret Realm was huge, as if a complete world. Along the way, however, the group still came across quite many cultivators. From time to time, they would see a long rainbow sweeping through the air, flashing away.

“Attack!”

There were also battles and killings along the way as people fought over either precious herbs that grew in the secret realm, or treasures and relics scattered among the mountains and rivers.

Of course, there were also people who targeted and killed others for treasures, and it was not a rare occurrence!

As the saying went, ‘Those who commit violent crimes get golden belts, those who repair bridges and patch the roads don’t have their corpse left intact.’

Instead of painstakingly searching for opportunities, it would be better to directly kill others and seize their treasures. This was undoubtedly the most direct and savage route, and the gains were also quite decent.

On their journey, Lin Xun’s group didn’t encounter any idiots who would choose to attack them. Since they had a clear goal, they simply ignored the other fortunes along the way, heading straight for Nine Cauldron Mountains.

Eventually, they ran into fewer and fewer cultivators, but the ones who dared to go this deep were at least the disciples of big, famous sects.

Half a day later, the group finally arrived at Nine Cauldron Mountains.

From afar, the nine sacred mountains seemed to have suddenly risen up from the ground as they formed a perfect square with three in every row. Like nine gigantic, sky-reaching cauldrons, they gave people a shocking visual impact.

At the moment, a group of cultivators had already gathered in front of the mountains.

“There are nine paths leading to the core of the mountains, but each is covered in terrifying restrictive arrays.”

After saying that, Yu Yunhe pointed at a distant place.

“Over there, Brother Lin, is the World-Guarding Nine Cauldrons pattern. Our founder Emperor Yu collected primal chaos origin from the Nine Major Worlds and crafted nine Emperor-grade cauldrons here. In turn, this place was made into the land of fortune known to everyone in the star field.

“Anyone who is able to enter it will obtain a chance to break through and become a Saint-King. Moreover, the primal chaos origin distributed within will also provide immeasurable benefit to condensing and tempering one’s Great Dao Field.”

Lin Xun nodded. “Then let’s get started.”

As his spirit sense spread, he had soon noticed that many supreme figures had already jumped into action, sweeping into the mountains from different directions despite the terrifying restrictive force covering them.

Among them were Chi Lingzi, Shui Biyun, Li You, Lie Dongzhan, Xiao Budu, and many other dazzling experts from all the major worlds.

Lin Xun also saw Alchemy Dao Sect’s Zhang Bairong, Mu Xiuqi, and their whole group there.

However, resolving the arrays was no simple feat if one wanted to enter the core of Nine Cauldron Mountains. It wasn’t something that just anyone could do.

“Brother Lin, where do we enter from?” Yu Yunhe couldn’t help but ask, knowing that Lin Xun was a dao rune founder who was even more skilled than Master Mo!

“I’ll have to ask you to bear with this first,” replied Lin Xun, and with a wave of his sleeve, the other three were moved into the Dao Endless Pagoda.

Swish!

He, on the other hand, skipped the step of choosing directions and unhesitantly rushed straight toward the distant mountains.

Rustle~

Right upon entry, Lin Xun felt space and time being reversed, and heaven and earth being turned upside down. The entire Nine Cauldron Mountains had transformed into a blinding white world.

The sky had been flooded by raging rivers, and all of that river was actually materialized from the restrictive power here.

It really isn’t simple.

Only now did Lin Xun understand why people would pale at the mention of the restrictions at Nine Cauldron Mountains.

This horrifying flood was enough to kill Saint experts. Even a supreme Big Saint would find it hard to survive if they took the risk of venturing in.

Lin Xun spread his spirit sense all around and acutely perceived the invisible restrictive rune arrays operating here, each filled with unrivaled killing intent.

Across different areas, there were many strong auras struggling to take steps forward.

Like Lin Xun, they were clearly the supreme characters who had entered this world from different paths.

Protected by Saint-King experts and guided by a dao rune founder, each of them moved step by step, careful and vigilant, toward the center.

Lin Xun had no intention of concealing his strength. Without holding back, his vast spirit sense spread out and instantly gained insight into the nature of the restrictive runes here.

And then, he shot up into the sky, transforming into a radiant rainbow that swept toward the core of this world made of restrictive power.

He had already sensed the wondrous aura of primal chaos origin there.

Rumble~

The dense restrictive arrays between this heaven and earth, which any other dao rune founder would consider their mortal enemy, seemed to be nothing in front of Lin Xun.

As he flew forth, the arrays in his wake produced thunderous fluctuations that echoed endlessly.

From afar, he was like a divine rainbow, freely shuttling through the densely superimposed restrictive law power.

Many cultivators were alarmed when they noticed the radiant figure zooming past in the sky.

“Who is that? Are they fed up with life, rampaging recklessly through the air like that?”

They gasped, their jaws on the ground as they were unable to believe their eyes.
