Chapter 451 Broken Blade Surrenders

The broken blade roared. Divine, star-like light crushed the air, causing it to quake all ten directions.

Lin Xun was dripping with blood, but he continued to face the broken blade without a tinge of fear.

The nearby cultivators inhaled sharply, trembling all over. They couldn’t imagine how someone at the Spirit Sea Stage would possess such frightening combat strength.

The tremendous movements going on alerted the cultivators afar.

Their countenances visibly changed upon seeing Lin Xun’s ability.

Many ancient treasures had been left in the Treasure Drop Blood Plain, but the broken blade was no doubt the most extraordinary.

The youth was very abnormal. He seemed to be immortal like a fiendish god. Moreover, his power steadily rose despite the heavy injuries all over his body!

The intense battle between the youth and the treasure would no doubt stir up a storm and shock countless cultivators if it were to spread to the outside world.

Bang!

Suddenly, an explosion pierced the air like a clap of thunder.

The Violet Soul Blade, an earth-grade aeth treasure, had repeatedly clashed against the broken blade, and it eventually shattered into a shower of light rays!

The force sent Lin Xun reeling backwards, and he was almost unable to stand upright anymore. The agonizing pain drained the color from his handsome and bright face.

However, the broken blade wasn’t any better. It constantly buzzed and vibrated in the air like it was under tremendous pain. Many cultivators’ minds were shaken once again.

Die!

Lin Xun summoned a silver sword with a loud clang. It was swift as an alert and agile snake.

It was a spoil that he obtained from Qian Huai, a fine high-grade aeth tool.

Bang!

The broken blade sped unhindered across the sky, releasing endless starlight that obscured the sky and earth like it wanted to obliterate the entire space.

Everyone looked dumbfounded. Is that the power that an ancient treasure can possess? Its power is simply unrivaled!

Within seconds, the silver sword in Lin Xun’s hand crumbled into smithereens.

Any other cultivators would have frantically looked for an opportunity to flee after losing two top treasures. But Lin Xun refused to retreat now that he had reached the critical moment of forming an Origin Aeth Artery. He again unleashed a furious roar and decided to battle the broken blade weaponless.

The air boomed and rumbled, and the wind and clouds moved turbulently. Lin Xun’s superior and condescending attitude shocked the entire audience.

A teenager at the Spirit Sea Stage fearlessly and courageously fought against the broken blade time and time again. It was too unbelievable.

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Lin Xun’s chest felt so hot like it was about to explode. Especially his heart. It felt like it was burning as a crystal-clear artery was taking shape inside. It emitted a sacred glow that appeared tangible. The divine heaven-devouring power it contained made it seem like a giant abyss had opened up.

On the flip side, blood was oozing from the multiple deep wounds around Lin Xun’s body, and he looked to be on the verge of collapsing.

Such a hard-earned opportunity was closely linked with fatal danger!

Rumble!

At that moment, Lin Xun seemed to be burning. Ever since the battle started, his strength had been climbing steadily and now it had reached a frightening level.

The broken blade buzzed frantically as Lin Xun’s Nine Heavenshakings Destructions was about to suppress it!

“That—”

To everyone’s amazement, the ruthless youngster was growing stronger despite his heavy wounds and had almost suppressed the broken blade!

“That’s so crazy!”

“Can the boy do it?”

Some Heaven Ascension cultivators lost their composure.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the broken blade stopped buzzing and fell silent. All starlight subsided, revealing the blade’s dark true body.

At the same time, an extremely terrifying wisp of aura spiraled out from the blade and transformed into an illusionary figure.

“That’s—”

Someone screamed, his face pale and his heart trembling with terror.

“It’s a remnant of the consciousness of an influential figure from ancient times. It wants to slaughter that youngster!” more knowledgeable cultivators exclaimed.

They realized that the broken blade was so frighteningly strong because there was a wisp of consciousness power remaining inside of it!

The influential figure that the wisp of consciousness belonged to had to be remarkably amazing to be able to awaken after thousands of years.

“It’s over for the kid!”

Terror filled everyone’s eyes as they realized that the broken blade was preparing to strike Lin Xun with its most powerful attack in an attempt to kill him.

However, Lin Xun didn’t retreat. Instead, he charged forward and reached to grab the broken blade.

Boom!

The space suddenly rippled, exploding with terrifying power. As though the blazing sun had exploded, rays of light flooded the world like lava from an erupting volcano.

Within a radius of dozens of miles, the mountains were torn down, the rocks crumbled, and several rifts were ripped open in the ground.

The sky collapsed!

The ground split!

The earth-shattering explosion stung everyone’s eardrums and shook their minds. They saw the world spin around them and sparks fly across. They felt so nauseous that it felt as though their souls had left their bodies.

The dazzling light was so blinding that many people couldn’t force their eyes open and could no longer see what was happening around them.

Is the ruthless youngster dead or alive?

Many cultivators wondered the same thing.

After a moment, the blazing rays of light silently receded, revealing a figure that stunned the entire audience.

He’s not dead!

Lin Xun was alive, but his figure was beyond recognizable. His skin was torn, and his bones were peeking out from his flesh. Every part of his body was mangled except for his bright, jet-black eyes.

He repeatedly coughed up blood. His breathing had become labored and rapid, resembling the hoarse voice of a beast. His hands were vibrating violently as he clutched onto the broken blade with his life.

“He subdued the blade!”

All cultivators’ eyes were wide with astonishment.

The faces of many young geniuses and Heaven Ascension cultivators lit up. The youth is clearly on the verge of collapsing. If we take advantage of this opportunity we might be able to obtain the broken blade!

Many people shared the same thought. The power of the broken blade had been suppressed, and the youth was exhausted and unable to fight anymore.

It was undoubtedly the best time to kill him and snatch the treasure!

Many people’s gazes blazed at the thought of the earth shaking power released from the broken blade.

“Die!”

Suddenly, a golden rainbow streaked across the sky, and a youngster followed behind with a golden spear in his grip, charging toward Lin Xun.

It was Ran Yin, a descendant of Gathering Stars Pavilion!

He was a renowned peerless figure with a terrifying talent. His sudden attack on Lin Xun stirred the audience.

“Quickly act!”

“The broken blade has heaven-defying power and mustn’t fall into other people’s hands.”

Roars rang out before a dozen figures darted out from different directions. They were all descendants of ancient sects or Heaven Ascension cultivators, and they all charged toward Lin Xun!

The scene suddenly erupted in chaos. Cultivators snapped out of their shock, and their eyes flashed with a glint of ruthlessness. They knew that it was the perfect time to seize the treasure.

“Die!”

“Die!”

“Die!”

The assembled cultivators all charged forward like a tide to seize the treasure from Lin Xun.

Lin Xun ran his dark eyes across the area. They were cold and detached, but upon a closer look, a great abyss was floating in the depths of his eyes, seemingly capable of devouring everything in its way.

Inside his body, the pure white and sacred Origin Aeth Artery was glowing and producing mysterious Buddhist chants. It was as though the wonderful truths of the Great Dao were being passed on.

No one was aware that Lin Xun had formed a completely new Origin Aeth Artery after the earthshaking battle with the broken blade!

“Friend, hand over the broken blade and I can guarantee that you leave here safely!”

Clad in a golden robe and wielding a golden spear, Ran Yin shouted, looking arrogant and superior.

Despite his honorable sounding words, he had no intention of giving Lin Xun a chance. He swung his golden spear up into the air, and a monstrous cloud of golden haze sped down with destructive force.

The terrifying power could sweep the universe. It was his ultimate killing move. He planned to kill Lin Xun and take his treasure in one strike.

“Do you think you are worthy of it?”

Amidst an indifferent voice, the broken blade glowed in Lin Xun’s grip and slashed through the air.

Bang!

Silvery light filled the sky like a river of stars. With a clang, the golden spear was sent hustling across the air, almost snapping into two.

Caught off guard, Ran Yin couldn’t dodge in time. As the river of silver stars swept over his body, he felt as though a towering mountain had pushed him. Multiple bones snapped, and he bled from all seven orifices.

He screamed in horror. He never thought that Lin Xun, who was on the verge of collapse, could still possess such horrifying power.

However, he was considered a genius talent of the younger generation. Although he had been severely wounded, he made a quick decision to retreat with incredible speed.

Pu!

However, Lin Xun brought his blade up in a swift slash and gave him no chance to escape at all. The blade again erupted in a blaze of silvery brilliance before it split the body into two halves and spewed blood everywhere. Ran Yin died on the spot.

Everyone was aghast. How could this happen? Ran Yin is a cultivation genius and a descendant of Gathering Stars Pavilion. He has mastered mysterious cultivation arts, and he was a top figure in the Spirit Sea Stage.

However, he failed to block one single strike and died instantaneously.

“Kill! Let’s attack together. He’s already at the end of his road. He can’t maintain his fierce power forever!”

“Yes, that’s not even his power, but the power of the broken blade. The treasure will belong to us once we kill him!”

A dozen cultivators raced forward, and among them were even Heaven Ascension cultivators. They all circled Lin Xun because they knew that once he died, they could seize the opportunity to snatch the treasure.

Lin Xun had failed to deter the enemies from attacking despite slaughtering one in a single move. Instead, it made them even crazier.

Lin Xun no longer hesitated. He leapt forward, the two-foot-long, jet-black, broken blade in his hand. It was constantly emitting spirals of dreamy, silvery starlight. It still resisted his commands, but Lin Xun held it in a tight grip and controlled it with force.

Bang!

Someone summoned their treasure. A golden umbrella spun into the air, spewing out rays of golden light in Lin Xun’s direction. They seemed capable of destroying a person’s spirit.

He raised his hand, waving the broken blade casually. A streak of silver starlight split the golden umbrella in half, and a head hurled into the air.

The owner of the umbrella had died an instant and violent death before he could even move an inch, just like Ran Yin!

Lin Xun didn’t even glance at the fallen cultivator. His figure flashed as he activated the Hornless Ice Dragon Step. He couldn’t let himself fall into a disadvantaged situation in the face of the endless enemy attacks!
