The Prodigies War
chapter-946

Clang!

Dazzling light flared around Lin Xun’s fist as he met a hammer of lightning and thunder head-on. A deafening rumble shook the area while light sparkled off from the collision.

At the same time, whip shadows of various colors shrouded the area, tearing through the void with astonishing force and trying to imprison Lin Xun.

However, Lin Xun did not budge an inch. He muttered a dao incantation and golden ripples spread outwards, shattering the skyful of ship shadows into a shower of light and air current.

At the same time, he folded his left hand into the Bi’an Stamp hand seal and performed the profound meaning of the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art with his right to deal with the half-step kings coming his way from both sides.

Rumble—

This space crumbled as if being blown up.

Lin Xun activated all sorts of cultivation arts to fend off the attacks of four half-step kings at the same time, demonstrating his domineering power and superiority.

The most frightening thing was that, at the same time, he never stopped controlling the Broken Blade with his soul of the primordial spirit, fighting off other opponents on the battlefield.

Among those opponents, two were half-step kings!

Kou Xing and the others were all stupefied, speechless. Even if they wanted to help, they found that there was no opportunity for them to intervene.

Only Miss Le managed to bring out a string of purple bells, presenting the infinite mystery of the dao of rhythm to help Lin Xun’s Broken Blade stop enemies from charging forward.

Even so, Miss Le marveled at the power of Lin Xun. She could already tell that he was not inferior to any of the peerless genius figures in the world.

Even so, she didn’t expect him to be so tyrannically strong!

Among the entire younger generation in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, not many could achieve the same feat as him.

After all, he was under the encirclement of six half-step kings of the Sacred Fire Sect as well as a group of great cultivators of the Cyclic Derivation Stage!

Yet he, with a cultivation of the Cyclic Derivation Stage, managed to turn the tides and fend off the group of powerful enemies!

……

“Kill!”

All the members of the Sacred Fire Sect became truly infuriated. Their eyes reddened. They felt ashamed to be stopped by a teenager!

At the same time, they were horrified by Lin Xun’s strength. They realized that he was a monster with heaven-defying powers and that they must not let down their guards in front of him.

But the fact that they could not accept was that they never managed to gain the slightest edge in the battle, nor had they been able to wound their opponent at all!

“Young man, who are you?” yelled the old man in charge, shaking inwardly. He suspected that Lin Xun was a peerless successor from a certain terrifying sect.

The other half-step kings also turned ashen-faced.

They all had a feeling that if they hadn’t joined hands to attack, they would have no chance of competing against the youth!

In their view, in the present world, only the peerless geniuses born into the ancient sects could possess such heaven-defying strength, and abnormal abilities, and defeat experts of a higher cultivation level.

Lin Xun didn’t say a word. He wildly circulated the qi within his body before he sped forward like an attacking demon god, oozing superiority and arrogance like he ruled the world.

The battle might be dangerous and the pressure might be extraordinary, but it was in this precarious atmosphere that the potential within Lin Xun’s body was completely unleashed. The battle allowed him to hone and perfect his martial dao. He never felt so free. His imposing bearing soared to a new height.

During the Dao Lantern Festival, he refined his strength to the supreme, overpowering everyone else and suppressing Yu Lingkong. He was invincible even on the supreme path.

But that didn’t indicate perfection!

His cultivation had yet to reach the perfect Cyclic Derivation Stage.

Similarly, he still hadn’t thoroughly grasped the essence of the supreme-grade dao art Combustion Star River or the Heavenly Yuan Six Slashes.

Additionally, his mastery of the fire dao was still at the level of the Dao Ripple and still quite a distance away from the Dao Meaning level.

Those were not flaws, but potentials. Only when he thoroughly tapped into them and perfected them could they be called supreme perfection.

Perhaps, in other eyes, he had already reached a height that could amaze anyone in the younger generation, but to Lin Xun, that was far from enough.

At least, it was far from enough to defeat his enemy Yun Qingbai!

“The martial dao is boundless!“

During the battle, a kind of enlightenment flashed in Lin Xun’s mind.

Cultivation was limited by cultivation stages, but martial dao was boundless!

For example, his cultivation base had stagnated in the intermediate Cyclic Derivation Stage, and he had already set foot on the supreme path. But in terms of his control and grasp of the martial dao, he was able to unearth new potential every time.

That potential came from the dao arts he had practiced. The comprehension of the profound meaning of the great dao could bring out greater power in the martial dao.

In the same way, by practicing the Sacred Combat Art, it also boosted his martial dao!

In short, cultivation was the source of power, determining the strength of the martial dao.

The secret arts that one practiced and the profound meaning of the great dao that one comprehended allowed one to unleash greater martial dao power!

For example, Lin Xun’s cultivation base might still be at the intermediate Cyclic Derivation Stage, but because he had grasped the Combustion Star River and the Heavenly Yuan Six Slashes, they significantly boosted his combat power.

Similarly, his comprehension and control of the fire dao and the Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer also raised his combat power.

This was the connection between the great dao, secret arts, and martial dao.

Of course, one’s cultivation was still the basis for determining martial dao power. After all, comprehension of the essence of Boundless Martial Dao was just a means to strengthen combat power on the basis of cultivation.

Huh?

While Lin Xun was honing his strength in battle, a feeling of danger suddenly enveloped him, snapping him awake.

Shua!

Almost at the same time, the old man from the Sacred Fire Sect summoned an unusual treasure with flames of five different colors flowing around it.

It was a divine flame dome! It erupted in a blaze of divine light as it rapidly expanded in the void until it enveloped the entire area.

The next second, dazzling flames rained down from the sky, and endless dao runes emerged and rolled across the air, possessing the terrifying power to incinerate the sky and scorch the earth.

“The Five Divine Flames Dome!” On the ship, Miss Le’s pupils shrank, and her face scrunched up with shock and terror. She visibly tensed up.

The treasure was famous because in ancient times it had taken the lives of countless powerful experts with its fierce power.

Rumor had it that the Five Divine Flames Dome was crafted from the five great divine flames, the Yi Wood Azure Flame, the Luminous White Gold Flame, Purified Water Black Flame, Earth Yellow Flame, and the Jewel Sun Red Flame, and was derived from the wonderful essence of the five elements. It was said to be able to incinerate the universe and galaxy!

There were far too many legends about the treasure. It was rumored to be a masterpiece of a Saint King. When he successfully crafted the treasure, the world was said to dim, and a stretch of mountains and rivers was reduced to ashes. The visions set off across the world were akin to those of doomsday!

In the past, when this treasure appeared, all the Saints backed down and an unknown number of powerful sages had been killed under this treasure!

In short, it was a remarkable saint treasure known throughout the ages.

But Miss Le realized that the treasure in the hands of the Sacred Fire Sect was just an imitation. Although its power was terrifying, it lacked the supreme power that could suppress the world and make the heavens tremble.

Even so, the imitation Five Divine Flames Dome was still amazing, like a furnace able to incinerate everything in its way. It made it hard to imagine what the real Five Divine Flames Dome was like.

Although Lin Xun did not recognize the treasure, a sense of danger flooded his heart the moment he laid eyes on the treasure.

“You can die without any regret since you can force me to bring out this treasure,” uttered the old man coldly.

He stood with utmost confidence.

The other half-step kings retreated so as to not get impacted. They knew about the terror of the Five Divine Flames Dome so they did not want to be swept into the battle.

Rumble—

The flame dome hovered in the sky like a giant sun, raining down five different kinds of divine flames.

It was a beautiful yet terrifying spectacle.

“How funny!”

However, Lin Xun’s expression remained unchanged with an undisguised disdainful smirk on his face.

Six half-step kings had to rely on a treasure to subdue him! Was that not funny?! Lin Xun felt ashamed for them.

“How funny!”

Those two words were the only words that Lin Xun had uttered ever since the battle began. The Sacred Fire Sect experts’ faces darkened at the undisguised disdain.

A youngster at the Cyclic Derivation Stage taunted them in the face of death! They felt utterly humiliated.

“Young man, the Sacred Fire Sect is not a force that you want to offend!”

“No matter how strong you are, before you become a king, you are still an ant.”

“Brother, don’t waste time talking to him! Crush him with all your strength!”

The half-step kings stared at Lin Xun like he was dead meat. They could never wipe away the humiliation and shame in their hearts unless they killed Lin Xun.

While they were speaking, Lin Xun was already enveloped by the dome and evading the barrage of five-colored flames.

Miss Le, Kou Xing and the others stilled and tensed up, feeling extremely nervous.

At the same time, they knew they mustn’t be distracted because the enemies were launching the most violent attacks at them on the opposite side.

If the Broken Blade was not still hovering in the air and deflecting all the attacks, they would have met with misfortune already!

Their situation had taken a turn for the worst. Their lives could be said to be hanging by a thread.

“Die!” The old man spoke calmly, eyes filled with coldness.

Controlling the Five Divine Flames Dome, he sent five-colored divine flames lashing down like waterfalls, burning the space until it collapsed.

“Die? Let’s see who will die first!” At the same time, Lin Xun turned his hand over and a white jade bottle of only a few inches tall emerged from thin air, producing an obscure brilliance.

Dao Immeasurable Bottle!

During the Dao Lantern Festival, the bottle was already filled with the power of the Four Divisions King Array. Lin Xun had planned to bring it out to kill Mu Jianting and others, but his plan changed when Xia Zhi suddenly appeared.

But now, he couldn’t care about anything else. The Five Divine Flames Dome was a huge threat to him, enough to kill him, so he no longer had any reservations.

Buzz!

The Dao Immeasurable Bottle glowed brightly, releasing the accumulated power of the Four Divisions King Array; moreover, its power was twice as strong as before.

Instantly, the void changed and heaven and earth were aghast!
