The Prodigies War-Novel

Chapter 916 – Saint Apparition

“Slash!” 

Almost at the same time as Yu Lingkong activated the Six Directions Demon Sealing Tablet, Lin Xun bellowed and the Broken Blade erupted in a blaze of light in the air, displaying the profound meaning of the Burning Sun Slash. 

The dao sword split into two parts and clattered to the ground. 

Si!

Gasps rang out.

There was no question that the Broken Blade was a divine weapon of unrivaled sharpness since it could sever even Yu Lingkong’s dao sword. 

Yu Lingkong’s expression grew increasingly cold, but he didn’t care anymore. The six black stone tablets hovering around him erupted with golden dao runes that crisscrossed in the air before they crashed down from all six directions. 

Lin Xun swiftly brought the Broken Blade up to meet them, and an ear-piercing metallic ring stung everyone’s eardrums. 

All the experts donned solemn expressions. Up to this point in the duel, the two had exchanged countless blows and had changed their fighting methods many times. Their imposing bearing also soared and continued to rise. Every single attack could be considered world-shaking. 

Undoubtedly, both of them had unearthed all their potential in the Cyclic Derivation Stage, embarked on the absolute apex path, and were considered the strongest of this stage. 

The collision sent Lin Xun stumbling back a few steps. The Six Directions Demon Sealing Tablet contained terrifying destructive power and was stronger than a weapon of the King Path. 

Yu Lingkong also looked a little disheveled. The Broken Blade was unmatched in sharpness and tore down everything in its way, leaving multiple bloody scars across his body.  

Both had been injured!

However, the aura of the two grew increasingly terrifying like two volcanoes on the verge of eruption. When they clashed again, their qi and energy seemed to be rioting and forming a terrifying brilliance around them. 

They exchanged blows once again, each matching each other’s skill. They were like real demon gods vying for supremacy. The clouds scudded across the sky, the world dimmed, and the air whimpered. 

The other cultivators were still fighting, but their minds were all drawn by the battle. They were more hesitant to act because they knew that, under such circumstances, they wouldn’t have a chance to fight for the number one fortune. 

Anyone who fought for it would suffer full-power attacks from the others! 

“Hmph!”

Yu Lingkong’s face became overcast. The six black stone tablets hovered in the air and constantly crashed down, but it was still difficult to completely suppress Lin Xun. 

Yu Lingkong had to accept reality. Even if he was prideful, he had to admit that his opponent was not weaker than him in terms of either foundation or combat strength!

“I can’t let this continue…” Yu Lingkong’s eyes were ice-cold. 

If the battle dragged on even more, even if he managed to kill his opponent in the end, he could lose out on the opportunity to compete for the number one fortune. 

The other experts might even get there before him!

Boom!

All of a sudden, Yu Lingkong seemed to have become a different person. He radiated a divine charm while brilliant light poured down from him like a waterfall, and his golden eyes shot out secret runes. 

The space crumbled and collapsed around him. 

Faintly, he resembled a divine being looking down at the world with disdain.

Shua!

Yu Lingkong put away the Six Directions Demon Sealing Tablet, replacing it with a simple and old wooden sword covered with signs of erosion. 

But as soon as the sword was unsheathed, thunder clapped, lightning flashed, and bright purple stars emerged one after another. They orbited around the sword body as a destructive aura permeated the area.  

Let alone other experts, even Ji Xingyao and Luo Jia tensed up, and their eyes flashed with a look of surprise.

The wooden sword was imbued with Saint aura! 

Unquestionably, the sword was extraordinary, having been refined by a Saint in the past. The fact that it was instilled with the aura of the Saint Path was extraordinary enough. 

“I never thought that an ant from the lower domain would possess such strength. You have surprised me,” Yu Lingkong remarked coldly.

This was an acknowledgement that Lin Xun had the ability to compete with him, which shocked everyone. 

“Ant? If you can’t beat an ant like me then what are you?” Lin Xun did not back down. 

“My patience has already reached its limit. I don’t have the time or the mood to deal with you anymore. I am going to kill you now so that you can understand how great the difference between you and me is!” Yu Lingkong’s expression became increasingly cold.

As his sword sliced through the air with a boom, lightning crisscrossed around it, rays of divine light shot from its surface, and a mighty Saint apparition took shape within the glow of the sword. 

The Saint had a hazy and blurry appearance like an illusion, but its aura was undoubtedly terrifying. Its appearance caused the heaven and earth to whimper and wail as if they were surrendering.

Everyone was horror struck. Yu Lingkong’s foundation is too heaven-defying. He activated some sort of forbidden taboo art, and a Saint apparition appeared!

“This is the gap between you and me. If I had used this at the beginning, do you think you would have lasted until now?” Yu Lingkong said with a superior indifference. 

This was one of his trump cards, which he had never used in the past because he had always been invincible. 

But now, he had to bring it out to kill Lin Xun. 

“You are using power that doesn’t belong to you to kill me, do you not feel ashamed?!” Lin Xunwas glowing brightly while obscure and terrifying Dao Meaning was raging within his body. He seemed to have become a giant abyss of unfathomable depths. 

“That—?” Many experts palpitated. The waves of Dao Meaning surging around Lin Xunresembled a starry river black hole capable of swallowing everything.  

“Yu Lingkong has brought out his trump card, so does Lin Xun also plan on using his trump card now? Or perhaps, he doesn’t have many cards up his sleeve.” Many experts were bewildered. 

Rumor had it that Demon God Lin possessed countless treasures, including a Saint treasure, but they hadn’t seen any so far, so many people began to doubt the reliability of the rumors. 

Boom!

The Saint apparition flashed within the sword light, full of murderous intent.

Instantly, Lin Xun was drowned out by the endless sword light.  

Is it over for Demon God Lin?

This is available on bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Everyone’s hearts churned in their chest. The sword strike was undoubtedly terrifying. The Saint apparition seemed to possess earthshaking powers. Anyone who saw it would be petrified even from a distance away.  

Now, before Lin Xun could counterattack, his figure had already been submerged. It was hard not to suspect that he would soon meet with misfortune.  

“How could that be...” Bai Lingxi bit her lips, and her face scrunched up with worry. She had stopped herself several times already from impulsively running onto the battlefield to save Lin Xun. 

“That guy is going to meet with misfortune.” Mu Jianting, Li Qinghuan and the others all secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Having seen the terror of Lin Xun, they knew that they would not be able to sleep or eat in peace if he survived. 

“I’ve said earlier that Demon God Lin is nothing special! He’s not even worthy of carrying Senior Brother Yu’s shoes!” The two Longevity Land successors sneered. 

Ji Xingyao’s clear eyes gleamed as she closely watched the battle. In her view, the shameless bastard wouldn’t be suppressed or killed so easily. 

Good people didn’t live long, yet bastards who caused disasters lived for a long time. In Ji Xingyao’s eyes, Lin Xun was the epitome of a shameless bastard!

Yu Lingkong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that his trump card, which consumed huge amounts of energy, was worth the effort. 

Boom!

However, before a smile fully spread across Yu Lingkong’s face, an unexpected change happened. 

Lin Xun, who had been drowned by the Saint apparition, was rapidly breaking down the power that oppressed him. Even if the terrifying power contained a wisp of Saint power, it was still strangely extinguished upon contact with his body. 

Rumble—

The Saint apparition violently flickered, while the Saint aura constantly dimmed.  

Everyone who thought that it was over for Lin Xun was shocked beyond words. 

Even that failed to suppress Demon God Lin.

That is the aura of the Saint Path, which even a small wisp of it is indestructible. How can Lin Xun block its great destructive power and even constantly disintegrate it?! 

“He’s the same…he hasn’t changed...” Bai Lingxi’s tensed heart relaxed, feeling excited, and her bright eyes shone with the great radiance of joy. 

“What bizarre and terrifying great dao power!” Ji Xingyao and Luo Jia were both astonished by Lin Xun’s power.

On the other side, Yu Lingkong’s face darkened. He was as shocked as the others. Even he couldn’t guarantee that he could withstand that power yet Lin Xun unbelievably dispelled it. 

Unable to accept that, he charged forward and he began to glow brightly, drawing all attention. 

Even if he had lost his upper hand, his power was still dazzling and his bearing was unrivaled. He was like a divine being who was born from the blessings of heaven and earth. 

He bellowed like a clap of thunder. “Slash!” 

“Now, it’s my turn.” Lin Xun’s black eyes flashed like lightning as he violently rushed up and his fist started flying. 

Boom!

With a stretch of his hand, Yu Lingkong crushed the power of the punch. He didn’t want to prolong the battle any longer. He hoped to kill Lin Xun as soon as possible and fight for the number one fortune.

Buzz—

Terrifying waves of energy roamed above his head, forming a peculiar bronze building that was inscribed with sacred arts of the Saint Path as well as mysterious patterns. 

Longevity Palace!

The supreme treasure of the Saint Path of the Longevity Land!

All of a sudden, the Dao altar was swaying and buzzing. The other experts turned ashen-faced and frantically retreated one after another, giving up on their melee.  

No one thought that Yu Lingkong would bring out a Saint treasure to deal with Lin Xun!  

Unquestionably, Yu Lingkong’s killing intent had been ignited, and he wanted to quickly get rid of Lin Xun and put an end to the battle. 

Boom!

A frightening aura filled the air. The Longevity Palace circulated the supreme laws of the Saint Path like it wanted to destroy the world, stifling everyone. 

A Saint treasure!

How would it be ordinary?

If it was in the hands of a Saint, then it could wipe out the world, kill all demons and ghosts and obliterate the mountains and rivers!

It was the strongest treasure in the world. Moreover, the Longevity Palace could be considered one of the strongest among Saint treasures due to its incredible power. 

“Lin Xun, what do you have to compete with me now?!”

Yu Lingkong’s expression looked particularly chilling, especially with his hair flying about in the air and the Longevity Palace suspended above his head. He had become stronger than ever.
