The Prodigies War-Novel

Chapter 1286 Time Passes Everyone

Wen Zhongfeng's face immediately turned to the same shade as a pig's liver. He almost wished he could die instead of facing such embarrassment.

He had retreated!

Although it was a single step, there was no need to say anything else because it proved that he was afraid.

Wen Zhongfeng bellowed, "I will kill you!"

He had gone crazy and refused to accept the reality of what had just transpired.

Or rather, it felt so shameful that it made him lose his rationality.

Swish!

A streak of beautiful and peerless sword qi swept forth like a rainbow.

However, his resistance was destined to be futile.

If Wen Zhongfeng maintained his peak condition, Lin Xun would probably have gone through some trouble to deal with him.

However, an irrational Wen Zhongfeng didn’t pose any threat.

In mere moments, Wen Zhongfeng was killed by the Impermanence Slash executed by the Broken Blade, which beheaded him and destroyed his primordial spirit.

The entire place was deathly silent, and everyone was dumbfounded.

The group of Omega Sword Sect elites were wiped out one after another by Lin Xun. Even the ancient-era genius, Wen Zhongfeng, who was ranked top ten in the Genius Gold Rankings, was slain!

It was an outcome that no one could have predicted.

At this moment, a single thought surfaced in everyone’s minds as they gazed at Lin Xun's untouched figure.

Was there anyone left who could stop Demon God Lin in the Upper Nine Realms?

……

On that same day, news of the battle spread and caused a huge stir in the Upper Nine Realms!

"The Omega Sword Sect is finished..."

Several great factions sighed at the news.

Due to Yun Qingbai’s existence, the Omega Sword Sect had been akin to an untouchable overlord. No one, regardless of status, had dared to oppose or even offend them.

However, things were now very different!

"After half a year, Lin Xun appeared again and slaughtered the Omega Sword Sect experts with overwhelming strength."

Some people wondered, "Meanwhile, Yun Qingbai still hasn’t shown himself. Will he continue to remain silent if he hears the news?"

After all, it was very unusual for someone like Yun Qingbai to tolerate such humiliation.

While the outside world was in an uproar, the area around the Stupa Tower became a forbidden area that no one dared to approach again.

It was because everyone knew that Lin Xun was quietly cultivating in the Three Thousand Stupa Tower.

Moreover, he wasn’t afraid to let everyone know that he was there. It was as if he was waiting for Yun Qingbai to come!

It was an arrogant attitude that was frightening to think about.

To everyone’s surprise, however, Yun Qingbai still didn’t appear as time continued to pass...

"His injuries are so severe that he probably wouldn’t dare to immediately come to find me even if he recovers. After all, he will not tolerate a second defeat."

Only Lin Xun knew that no one should expect Yun Qingbai to stage a comeback for the time being.

In fact, Lin Xun was certain that Yun Qingbai would only reappear after he was amply prepared.

When that happened, the duel between him and Yun Qingbai wouldn’t be far off!

……

Those secluded deep in the mountains wouldn’t know when spring would come again.

The flow of time wouldn’t change for cultivators or the common people.

As the saying went: time passes everyone and all of us are nothing but a fleeting passerby to it.

A year had passed since Lin Xun killed Wen Zhongfeng.

Over this period, the atmosphere in the Upper Nine Realms grew increasingly turbulent with bloody and cruel battles and competition occurring at every corner of the domain.

Even hegemon-like factions would fall amidst the flames and smoke of battle.

Originally obscure figures also suddenly rose like comets, drawing the attention of the Upper Nine Realms.

Some would cry, some would laugh, some would be disappointed, and some would be pleased. All kinds of happiness, sadness, love, hatred, and other emotions were always present in the Upper Nine Realms.

Some enjoyed success while others were plagued by failure.

Over the year, the top hundred rankers of the Genius Gold Rankings changed at a jaw-dropping speed that was dizzying to watch.

Only Yun Qingbai's first-place position remained untouched.

Likewise, Lin Xun's name never appeared on the Genius Gold Rankings.

In fact, there was no news of him at all for the past year because he remained secluded in the Stupa Tower.

It was the seventh year since the Supreme Realm descended upon the Ancient Wasteland Domain, which meant that this entire affair would be over in less than three years.

……

Wind and rain darkened the sky over the bones that were piled up high like mountains.

Over the course of the year, the Stupa Land regained its previous peace and tranquility.

After all, the Stupa Brahma Land was filled with grave danger and an unsettling air. It wasn’t a place that just anyone could linger in for long.

The deafening sounds of a fierce battle echoed across the air.

Peerless sword qi wove together in the sky. It ripped apart the fabric of space like a ferocious bull and caused the weather to fall into turmoil.

The snow-white Broken Blade darted through the air as it fought against the dreadful sword qi.

If one were to look closely, they would also discover a handsome young man amidst the chaos, his black hair flapping around him as he revealed a determined expression.

He shone brightly as radiant dao light flowed around him while a mighty abyss that seemed capable of swallowing the eight barrens floated behind him.

It was none other than Lin Xun.

His opponent was a human-shaped skeleton whose posture was as straight as a sword. Every inch of bone on its body was imprinted with sharp sword-will.

Whenever Lin Xun rushed forward in an attempt to destroy the skeleton, a wave of sword qi that could cover the sky would sweep out!

It was the skeleton of a Sword Saint!

Ancient Buddha Son’s clone had once mentioned the existence of a Sword Saint’s remains in the Great Luo Ancient Domain. In the ancient era, a Saint Buddha suffered serious injuries from killing the Sword Saint and ultimately died while constructing the Three Thousand Stupa Tower.

This made it easy to imagine how powerful the Sword Saint skeleton was when it was alive.

Despite the countless years that had passed, the skeleton’s spine was still straight as ever while the sword qi imprinted onto its bones had yet to be completely erased!

However, the Sword Saint skeleton had now been reduced to a mere training tool for Lin Xun...

Rumble!

A hint of trembling was finally visible in the Sword Saint skeleton as if it was about to topple over.

Shiing!

At the same time, Lin Xun put away the Broken Blade and silently pondered, "It will take at most three months to take down the Sword Saint Skeleton and absorb the power imprinted upon it..."

Lin Xun's cultivation had progressed by leaps and bounds over the past year.

He had overcome the fifth longevity tribulation, the six desires tribulation, and had reached the perfect fifth longevity tribulation stage.

His combat power had also undergone a radical transformation.

As for his grand dao cultivation, the various grand daos he mastered had reached the perfect Dao Law stage!

Even his spirit cultivation had attained the spirit flower convergence stage. However, he was unable to ascend to the next level due to the limitations of his cultivation.

The level above the spirit flower convergence stage was known as the divine wandering stage and belonged to the realm of the Saint stage. It was currently too early for Lin Xun to delve into the mysteries of such power.

Even so, Lin Xun’s spirit strength still transcended everyone else in the longevity stages!

It was mainly because of his triple primordial spirits that made him fundamentally different from others.

In addition, there was also the evolution of his martial dao power.

More than a year ago, through Saint-King Xuan Kong’s guidance, Lin Xun had managed to achieve the Divine Connection State.

At present, he was capable of almost effortlessly executing the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art, the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations, the Heavenly Yuan Six Slashes, and the Great Diffusion Void Breaker Finger!

In terms of mastery, it would be equivalent to reaching the elementary level of the Divine Connection State.

The main reason he had managed to achieve such rapid growth in so many areas was due to the Xiantian Clear Pearl.

It was undoubtedly a Saint-tier cultivation treasure that allowed Lin Xun to save copious amounts of effort and energy in his cultivation.

Phew~

Lin Xun deeply exhaled a breath of turbid air. Just as he was about to leave, an almost transparent figure suddenly arrived.

"Master, I have overcome the second longevity tribulation stage!"

It was Little Silver. However, his usually callous expression was currently beaming with excitement and joy.

Little Silver's progress over the past year had also been nothing short of miraculous.

Although he was inferior to Lin Xun in terms of cultivation, it must also be noted that he was the first God Devourer Insect to attain the Supreme King stage.

Coupled with his terrifying innate talent, it was now possible for him to kill experts a cultivation level higher than himself.

Even the present Lin Xun couldn’t let his guard down against Little Silver’s ambush.

"Not bad, not bad at all."

Lin Xun was very pleased. In the beginning, he had spent a lot of time and effort searching and collecting treasures for Little Silver to evolve.

However, this was no longer necessary because Little Silver had recently gained the ability to grow on his own.

His path was also unique and could only be paved by himself.

Lin Xun couldn’t help much at this juncture even if he wished to.

Little Silver asked, "Master, when are we leaving this place?"

"Soon. You’ll have to wait a little longer."

Lin Xun led Little Silver back to the Three Thousand Stupa Tower while replying.

Crazed laughter rang out the moment they stepped into the tower.

"Hahahaha, the heavens have not forsaken me! I’ve finally managed to catch a hint of the secret within these eighteen stone murals!"

It was Toady’s voice.New chapters are published on Fɪre.net

Lin Xun felt invigorated and couldn’t help but inwardly sigh in relief. After more than a year of studying, Toady and the big black bird had determined that the great blessing of the Three Thousand Stupa Tower was hidden in the eighteen stone murals.

However, today was the first time he had heard good news from Toady!

It must be noted that Toady was a descendant of the three-legged golden toad lineage and was born with the ability to recognize and identify all kinds of things. The big black bird wasn’t ordinary either and knew many incredible secrets.

Despite this, it had taken them more than a year to discover a trace of the secret. This showed just how deeply concealed the blessing was.

It was impossible to fathom how much work Toady and the big black bird had invested in this venture.

Lin Xun hurriedly walked up to the eighteenth floor where he found Toady and the big black bird excitedly staring at a stone mural on the wall with glowing eyes.

They looked like desperate and horny men who had just found a beauty emerging from the bath.

Lin Xun walked over and curiously asked, "What have you guys discovered?"
