The Prodigies War

Burning Immortal Ancient City.

While the news of the Golden Crow Clan being looted by Demon God Lin was still causing a stir, another earth shaking news came out.

“Demon God Lin entered the Burning Sky Valley alone and is about to be slaughtered by the supreme figures from the various major sects and clans!”

Like a tossed stone raising thousand ripples, the entire city was very quickly stirred up.

“Let’s go! Let’s go take a look!”

“Demon God Lin hasn’t been in the Supreme Realm for long, but he’s already about to meet with disaster!”

Descendants of the major forces speedily set off to Burning Sky Valley to find out more.

However, when they arrived at Burning Sky Valley, they were disappointed to discover that the battle had taken place inside a mysterious palace, so it was impossible for them to know whether Demon God Lin had been killed.

They could only wait outside the palace.

“Inside are over twenty top supreme figures, including Wu Lingfei, the Seventh Prince of the Golden Crown Clan, Liang Xueyin of the Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain and Fairy Miao Hua of the Mysterious Metropolis Sect. Demon God Lin likely won’t be able to step back out of the palace.”

Many cultivators were dismayed when they learned about the situation inside of the palace.

With so many powerful experts gathered together, even other top geniuses would not be able to survive, let alone Demon God Lin!

“Demon God Lin is loyal and courageous. Regardless of the danger, he still went in to save his friends. It is definitely a blessing to be friends with him,” someone sighed, which resonated with many people.

He knew that it was a dragon’s den, but he still dove in to rescue his friends from dire straits. The fact that he was willing to sacrifice his own life was already worthy of their respect and admiration.

“No, being friends with him is also a misfortune! Don’t forget that he has countless enemies. Anyone related to him will suffer the consequences!” Someone sneered, voice full of hatred.

The experts from the Golden Crow Clan gnashed their teeth. They were still fuming with anger and hatred after Lin Xun looted their territory.

“No matter what, he definitely will die!”

Lu Chuan from the Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain, Gao Xuan from the Mysterious Metropolis Sect and others had also come.

They were full of expectations as they learned about Lin Xun’s perilous situation.

Demon God Lin was too terrifying.

Not only did he possess unrivaled strength, but he also always acted with unbridled courage and did things in an unconventional way. He even went on a killing spree in Burning Immortal Ancient City, inducing fear in many people.

If he survived, it was unimaginable what sort of things he would do in the future!

Therefore, they all hoped for Lin Xun to be killed!

“Hey! The palace door is opening, heavens, that’s...that’s...” someone called out while everyone moved restlessly.

Then, everyone saw that the door of the Divine Flame Palace had silently opened at some point, and two figures were marching out of it.

One was as imposing as a mountain, as rugged as a barbarian; it was none other than A’lu!

Many people remembered that A’lu was trapped with Toady and that initiated a rescue operation from Demon God Lin.

However, no one expected him to come out alive!

“Demon God Lin?!” Almost at the same time, someone screamed and almost jumped up in shock.

Standing next to A’lu was a tall youngster dressed in a moon-white robe and with black hair fluttering around him. It was Lin Xun, who many believed to be dead already.

“Is that ghost?” A woman’s face turned ashen.

“Impossible! How could this be?!”

The descendants of the Golden Crow Clan, Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain, Mysterious Metropolis Sect and other forces all looked like they had been struck by lightning with their eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.

Demon God Lin is still alive, but...where are the others?

The thought of the others sent many cultivators trembling. Some stretched their necks to take a peek of the scene inside the palace.

Unfortunately, the palace door had silently swung closed.

Someone summoned the courage to ask, “Fellow Cultivator Lin, where are the others?”

Lin Xun first swept a glance across the audience before he answered, “Still trying to compete for fortune. I am not as skilled as the others so I can only give up.”

Even if he said that, there was not a hint of despondence in his features.

This made many cultivators suspicious. From their understanding, it was absolutely impossible that Wu Lingfei and the other supreme figures would let Lin Xun leave unscathed!

“What about your other friend?” someone questioned.

“He has some damn luck and is still trying to fight for fortune,” A’lu replied with a grumble.

Many people looked unconvinced!

The expressions of the Golden Crow Clan experts morphed indefinitely. They never imagined such an outcome. It completely took them off guard.

“Brother, I can’t stand not being able to obtain any fortune and want to vent my feelings.” As A’lu talked, he brazenly sized up the experts from the Golden Crow Clan, making them tremble all over

“Forget it, I’ll prepare something delicious for you tonight. Toady won’t have such good treatment from me.” Lin Xun shook his head. There were too many cultivators present, making it difficult to identify who was a foe and who was a friend.

“Okay!” A’lu’s eyes lit up with joy.

As the two were speaking, they headed towards the valley.

“Stop there!”

Lu Chuan from Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain stepped forward, questioning them coldly, “Are you going to leave before you explain everything clearly?”

A hostile look also distorted the face of Gao Xuan from the Mysterious Metropolis Sect.

They all had a feeling that something was not right.

“Explain everything clearly? Okay, how about I go to your territory in the city with you and explain it clearly there?” asked Lin Xun with a smile.

Grave expressions darkened the faces of Lu Chuan and Gao Xuan as they recalled the scene of Lin Xun looting the treasury of the Golden Crow Clan.

A tall and lanky man called out coldly, “Lin Xun, your attitude is not right. We just want to ask about the situation inside the palace, but you went as far as threatening us. Do you intend to become enemies with all other fellow cultivators in the Burning Immortal World?”

His hair was green, and he was obviously from the Sea Soul Clan like Shang Lan who had died in Lin Xun’s hands.

“Who do you think you are? Do you think you can represent everyone? If you don’t want to die, then I suggest you move out of the way!” Lin Xun left behind those words before he strode away with A’lu.

“You…”

The tall and lanky man flew into a rage, but the thought of Lin Xun’s incredible combat strength held him back.

Worst of all, during the process, not a single person dared to intercept Lin Xun. If he confronted him, he would become the bird that stuck out his head!

“Trash, hahaha.”

A’lu’s disdainful laughter infuriated the tall and lanky man so much that his face turned livid and his lungs almost ruptured, but he still held it back in the end.

The two walked off under countless gazes, but not a single person in the crowd dared to stop them!

This was might!

Previously, in the Burning Immortal Ancient City, Lin Xun had disregarded the rules, intruded the territory of the Golden Crow Clan, and carried out a looting, stopping at nothing.

After that, who would dare to jump out and go against him?

“Only Chi Lingxiao, Holy Maiden Lin Xue, Yun Qingbai, and Ancient Buddha Son, those peerless characters have the potential to suppress Demon God Lin,” someone sighed.

As for cultivators from forces such as the Golden Crow Clan, Mysterious Metropolis Sect and Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain, they donned terrible, aggrieved expressions.

“If the seventh prince was here, how would he be so arrogant?” fumed a Golden Crow Clan expert.

“What exactly happened in the palace? Why was Demon God Lin able to walk out of it unscathed?”

More and more people were baffled.

“I’ll take a look.”

A figure bathed in gloomy blue light stepped towards the Divine Flame Palace.

“Zhou Qingyun!”

Many people’s eyes narrowed as they recognized the man. He was a talented genius from the Hidden Holy Land—Starry Grotto Heavens!

He also ran into some obstacles when he passed the pair of deer and crane statues in front of the palace and only passed through after some effort.

The cultivators waiting here felt their hearts tumble around their chests.

This was because when compared to Demon God Lin, Zhou Qingyun seemed inferior in this little test!

The palace door silently swung open.

However, under the countless expectant gazes, Zhou Qingyun did not step inside.

From the angle he was standing, he saw pools of blood and mutilated bodies all over the place like it was a scene of a purgatory.

Hiss!

He gasped and his face paled.

He finally understood why only Demon God Lin and A’lu came out from the palace—everyone else had died tragically!

Additionally, the remnants indicated that an incredibly fierce battle had broken out!

“Twenty-six supreme figures, including Wu Lingfei, the seventh prince of the Golden Crow Clan...have been killed by Demon God Lin...”

Zhou Qingyun’s blood ran cold as he muttered.

Meanwhile, other cultivators finally took the opportunity to see the bloody scene in the palace for themselves.

The atmosphere was first deathly still and silent before it was shattered by bursts of screams, cries, and horrified gasps as though a pot of oil had exploded.

This was especially true for the major forces such as the Golden Crow Clan, Mysterious Metropolis Sect, Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain and Sea Soul Clan. Unable to withstand the blow, the cultivators all started roaring and screaming madly.

Dead…

They’re all dead!

The shock was so much that it made many experience sudden blackouts and almost go crazy.

When the other cultivators saw this, their emotions also roiled uncontrollably. Is this all the doing of Demon God Lin?

……

The return of Lin Xun and A’lu to Burning Immortal Ancient City caused another stir. Everyone who saw Lin Xun looked aghast as if they saw a ghost.

Lin Xun ignored them, focused on finding a place to rest.

“When we entered the city yesterday, Toady said that there is a building and a tower both named Supreme and each has its own mystery.

“If you want to go to the Upper Ninth Realm, you must pass the test of the Supreme Building.

“A passage will appear in the Supreme Building in one year and when that happens, only the top one thousand experts can use the passage to enter the Upper Ninth Realm.

“And if you want to reach other worlds of the Three Thousand Worlds, you will need to borrow the power of the Supreme Tower by gaining its acknowledgement and approval. Only then will you be qualified to enter other worlds.

Along the way, A’lu reminded Lin Xun of something important.

Lin Xun was surprised because this was the first time he heard about the Supreme Building and the Supreme Tower.

“So, in each of the Three Thousand Worlds there should be a similar building and tower, is that right?” Lin Xun said ruminatively.

“Correct.” A’lu pointed to the distance. “Brother, look, that’s the Supreme Building!”

Lin Xun raised his eyes and saw a tall building in the center of the city.

Towering into the sky, it was spectacular and majestic. It radiated age and history as though it had been standing for endless years and becoming numb to the rise and fall of life!
