The Prodigies War

After leaving the City of Enlightenment, Lin Xun darted through the void, moving as fast as a bolt of lightning.

“Toady, A’lu, it feels strange. Although I can't detect traces of any Saint experts, I reckon that they are hiding somewhere.” Lin Xun sent a voice transmission to them.

Toady, A’lu, and Caicai were inside the Nameless Pagoda.

This was in preparation of any accident happening and to allow Lin Xun to easily take control of the situation without having to take care of too many people all at once.

Toady quickly reminded him, “You have to be careful of the Golden Crow Clan. Those crows are wild and vengeful. Their territory, Sunset Current Valley, is nearby.”

“I understand, but our priority now is to leave this place.”

When Lin Xun said this, he suddenly paused in midair and peered into the distance.

Boom!

Almost at the same time, a ray of incomparably splendid golden light came his way.

It arrived in an instant as if it had been teleported!

It came with an overwhelming oppressive force that caused the air and world to whimper and the nearby rocks and earth to crack open.

It was the aura unique to the Saint Stage.

“Young man, do you think you can escape?”

As an ice-cold voice rang out, the golden arc of light transformed into an old man.

He was dressed in a golden robe as bright as his pair of dazzling eyes. His face was thin, and his eyes were swirling with threatening golden flames.

Standing there casually, he looked like he ruled heaven and earth, emitting the natural oppressive aura unique to Saints.

“The Golden Crow Clan?”

Lin Xun’s black eyes narrowed. What we thought indeed came…

“I am Wu Liuchi, the ninth oracle of the Golden Crow Clan. Young man, I have heard about your doings in the Supreme Realm. Let me give you a chance—come with me to the Sunset Current Valley. Otherwise, I will have to resort to bullying someone weaker than me,” said Wu Liuchi indifferently.

As a saint, he had the foundation and power that made him look down on all living beings.

In his eyes, even though Lin Xun had set foot into the supreme king path and had progressed triumphantly on the longevity path, he was still not strong enough!

“From what I know, Sunset Current Valley is eight thousand miles away from the City of Enlightenment. Even if you came immediately upon hearing the news, you couldn’t possibly catch up to me in such a short time.”

Lin Xun’s dark eyes flashed. “Could it be that you have been lurking around and watching us?”

“Does it make a difference?”

Wu Liuchi’s face was expressionless as he stepped forward, every step sending the earth quaking, mountains vibrating. and turning the airflow turbulent.

At the same time, the terrifying oppressive power grew stronger and stronger around him like a shadow blotting out the sky.

“I’ll give you three seconds. If you don’t yield, then die!” Wu Liuchi said aloud, his eyes cold and emotionless.

To Saints, everyone was like an ant!

In Wu Liuchi’s eyes, Lin Xun was a bug that he could crush with his fingers.

“One!”

His indifferent voice echoed like the death knell.

As his voice rang out, he drew closer and closer, his every step causing the ground to split.

Suddenly, the heavens and earth were wailing, and it was quaking in every direction. Invisible terrifying Saint power had flooded the world like a tidal wave.

If other people were around, then they likely would have already collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood and struggling to bear the pressure. Their spirits would have broken down long ago.

Even Lin Xun felt tremendous pressure bearing down on him that made his body tense up like a fully drawn bow.

It was a feeling that he rarely felt in the ten years that he had been in the Supreme Realm.

It was Saint power!

They stood at the pinnacle of the longevity path, shining with the sun and the moon, living as long as heaven and earth, controlling the rain and clouds with a turn of the hand, and creating lighting as they exhaled!

“Let me guess, you chose to act at this moment because you have no other choice. After all, if I escaped, then you would not be able to avenge your clansmen. But if your opponent took action, you could anger people you shouldn’t offend, am I right?” Lin Xun analyzed calmly.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time he had directly faced the oppressive aura of a Saint ever since he started cultivating. The pressure was immense, but it was not enough to shake him.

A flicker of surprise flashed in Wu Liuchi’s eyes before he snorted coldly, “You have guts!”

Boom!

The void exploded with a piercing boom.

“Two!” He lightly spat out a word, but it felt like a clap of thunder in a clear sky.

As Lin Xun inhaled deeply, his cultivation base was activated to its full potential, and his strength was unreleased like never before. In the blink of an eye, he seemed to have become another person.

Every inch of skin was glowing with splendid dao light, and his imposing bearing was as powerful as a demon god.

“Today, as a cultivator of the seventh longevity tribulation stage, let me learn from a Saint!”

Lin Xun’s eyes were blazing with intense fighting spirit.

He was curious to know the gap between him and the Saint Stage.

This might be crazy to other people, and they would think he was simply committing suicide.

But Lin Xun was completely unafraid.

He had long had this thought before leaving the Supreme Realm.

“An ant trying to shake a tree.”

Wu Liuchi’s face twitched with undisguised disdain. He even doubted whether he had heard it right!

Since ancient times, had there ever been a cultivator at the Longevity Stage who dared to provoke a Saint? Were they not afraid of being slapped to death?

“Three!”

Wu Liuchi no longer hesitated, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

Shua!

Almost at the same time, he vanished from the spot with a flash. When he reappeared, he was standing in front of Lin Xun and aiming a fierce palm strike at him.

Teleportation!

A power that only Saints could grasp!

The speed completely broke the shackles of space!

Other cultivators likely would not react in time.

But the moment Wu Liuchi launched an attack, a dazzling and unparalleled blast of fist power was already heading his way.

The punch could be said to be the embodiment of all of Lin Xun’s strongest powers. It was controlled by the Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer and contained all his grand dao powers.

Yazi’s Rage, Sacred Combat Art and Extreme Absolute had already been activated, combining and gathering Lin Xun’s energy, spirit, and qi into the punch.

It was no exaggeration to say that even peerless figures such as Yun Qingbai and Imperial Son Shaohao would have to bring out everything they had to deal with the punch.

Boom!

An earth-shattering collision announced the collapse of the void and left multiple rifts in every direction of the sky like a vast explosion had just happened.

Lin Xun flew upside down across the air and was only barely able to stabilize his figure after hundreds of feet.

“Is this the power of the Saint stage?”

His breathing was labored, and his qi and blood were pulsing chaotically around him. He suppressed himself from coughing up blood, but his dark eyes were extremely bright as though he was saying that his opponent’s attack was nothing special.

Wu Liuchi scoffed, “It was just a casual attack. Do you think I can’t kill you?”

In truth, he was very surprised to see that Lin Xun had managed to withstand his attack.

This was because he could easily crush even kings of the ninth longevity tribulation stage, let alone a king of the seventh longevity tribulation stage.

Everyone below the Saint Stage was an ant! This was not a saying without basis!

But Lin Xun had blocked his attack!

Moreover, he dealt with it head-on and did not even attempt to evade.

Swoosh!

With a flash, Wu Liuchi vanished once again.

The next second, he reappeared behind Lin Xun, folded his hand into a hand seal, and slammed down hard like a mighty god throwing down a sacred mountain.

Boom!

Lin Xun seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. A Bixi shadow suddenly emerged like it was a real being, radiating the mysterious and indescribable power of the true dragon laws.

With a loud boom, the Bixi shadow exploded in a rain of light while Lin Xun was knocked to the ground by the palm.

“Die!”

Wu Liuchi did not stop and followed up with another palm strike.

Chi!

However, a snow-white blade suddenly flashed and slashed downward at Wu Liuchi’s head with astonishing speed.

Impermanence Slash!

Wu Liuchi narrowed his eyes and flicked his finger with a sharp sound.

Clang—

Amid the deafening collision, the Broken Blade rebounded, buzzing endlessly.

“Hey, that treasure is amazing enough to manage to block one of my attacks.”

Wu Liuchi sounded surprised.

His palm strike also failed to hit Lin Xun because of the Broken Blade.

“Old man, it seems you are a False Saint.”

On the ground, Lin Xun charged up from the smoke and dust. He looked miserable with blood trickling down the corners of his lips.

But there was a hint of disdain in his expression!

A True Saint could condense Saint Dao Laws and manipulate mighty powers.

As for False Saints, they could only grasp saint powers. It was impossible for them to comprehend and condense Saint Dao Laws!

Wu Liuchi was indeed a saint. His powers could crush the sky and quake the earth, but he indeed had not condensed Saint Dao Laws.

His attacks contained law power, but it was the law power of the longevity path!

“Do you think you are qualified to assess the Saint stage?”

Wu Liuchi’s face darkened. A junior who had only set foot into the supreme king stage arrogantly looked down on his saint powers!

Boom!

He marched across the air, robe fluttering around him. He balled his hand into a fist and a huge golden sun appeared in the sky, shining upon the world with a terrifying destructive aura that could incinerate the earth.

At this point in the battle, Wu Liuchi was certain that the legendary, mysterious female saint would not appear.

He had only been so careful and cautious for fear of her sudden appearance.

If not, then Lin Xun would have been dead already!

Huh?

Wu Liuchi’s eyes narrowed.

He noticed that a huge sinister-looking bow had appeared in Lin Xun’s left hand. It looked like it was made out of a chain of bones. When the bow string was pulled back, it turned bright red like it had been submerged in blood.

He lost his composure when he saw the divine arrow that was raised in Lin Xun’s right hand. “That’s the Biluo Arrow!?”

That divine arrow was simple, unadorned, and had the thickness of a child’s arm. Its feathers were stained with dark red blood that complemented the almost imperceptible cold light flowing along the dark edge of the arrow.

As it rested in Lin Xun’s hand, a terrifying, fierce force spread outwards from it, causing the surrounding space to ripple and explode.

The bow and arrow were precisely the No-Nonsense Bow and the Biluo Arrow!

In the Supreme Realm where Saints did not exist, it was impossible to activate Saint treasures.

But it was a different story in the outside world!

Buzz!

As Lin Xun drew the bow string to its full length, a strange wave reverberated throughout the nine heavens like the cry of gods and demons.

Wu Liuchi snapped out of his state of shock. His face was livid, and his eyes were filled with undisguised murderous intent.

Biluo Arrow!

As a member of the Golden Crow Clan, how would he not know that this was one of the nine divine arrows of the Great Yi Tribe that had taken the lives of countless ancestors of the Golden Crow Clan?!
