The Prodigies War

The area was quiet as all the crowd looked at Lin Xun in confusion and disbelief.

Lin Xun had to know how horrifying the Taboo Dao Tribulation was. Yet, he had still taken on all the three ways to the Absolute Apex. Was he not afraid at all?

He was a supreme character who could be considered invincible in the Supreme path, with a bright future far beyond the reach of most cultivators. It would be a huge misfortune if someone like him died in the Taboo Dao Tribulation!

“The path of cultivation is already one that goes against heaven. When we decide to set foot on it, we should no longer fear any obstacles.”

Lin Xun’s expression was calm as his voice resounded in the area. Since no one here was his enemy, he didn’t mind giving them his insights on seeking the dao.

“Now that the great age has descended upon the Ancient Wasteland Domain, it’s a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our generation to rise up.

“Our world has become completely different since the Supreme path has once again opened up for us, so why can’t the curse of the Taboo Dao Tribulation be broken as well?

“This Supreme Realm was what over a thousand sages in the primordial era exhausted all their efforts to leave for our generation. Now that we have already stepped into the Supreme stage, why should we be afraid of trials and tribulations anymore?”

His tone was not emotional, but coalesced with a calm and determination so impactful that it moved everyone present.

“That’s the attitude, Brother Lin!” exclaimed Imperial Son Shaohao approvingly.

The crowd agreed with him as Lin Xun’s speech had really touched their hearts. Perhaps it’s because of his fearless and courageous spirit that Demon God Lin was able to go from a cultivator of the lower world to having his current achievements…

Meanwhile, Zhao Jingxuan was smiling proudly. She had known from the very beginning that Lin Xun was such a person.

……

“Then…do you dare fight me with only your physical refinement cultivation?” Yuan Fatian suddenly suggested and added, “Of course I won’t take advantage of you, I will limit my physical cultivation to your level.”

Speaking of physical refinement, Yuan Fatian looked confident. When it came to his field of expertise, he was not afraid of anyone!

However, Toady, A’lu, and the big black bird all revealed strange expressions. There was pity in their eyes when they looked at Yuan Fatian.

This silly monkey thinks Lin Xun is easy to bully when he’s limited to his physical cultivation?

“Why are you guys looking so weird?” Zhao Jingxuan was puzzled.

Toady chortled and used voice transmission to tell her about how A’lu had fought Lin Xun using only physical cultivation, but failed to gain any advantage.

Upon learning about this, Zhao Jingxuan’s expression also became strange.

Meanwhile, A’lu tried not to show his excitement as he also transmitted his voice to explain, “Boss has already reached the peak Supreme King stage regarding physical refinement. On top of that, he was tested and honed in the Ancient Tablet of All, where he also obtained the lifelong insights of the Divine Elephant Martial Emperor on this aspect. If this Yuan Fatian thinks he can crush Boss because he has Nine Pure Saint Body Art, then he’s greatly mistaken!”

Zhao Jingxuan was stunned. She then looked at Yuan Fatian with the same pity as A’lu and Toady.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun asked in amusement, “Are you sure?”

“Humph! I was the one who taught you your physical refinement art. How can I be afraid?” Yuan Fatian had no doubts about himself as he snorted, “The pros of sparring with me far outweigh the cons. If you can learn something from it, then I guarantee your cultivation on the Nine Pure Saint Body Art will go even more smoothly. But it’s fine if you’re scared of losing.”

There was instantly a commotion when the audience learned that the physical refinement art that Demon God Lin cultivated was the ultimate inheritance of the Snubbed-Nosed Monkey Clan.

It was no wonder Yuan Fatian was so confident and overbearing. As a descendant of the Snubbed-Nosed Monkey Clan, he was indeed qualified to be Lin Xun’s teacher in the subject of physical refinement techniques.

However, this was the Ultimate Battlefield. Losing meant having no chance with the Saint’s Guide.

Will Demon God Lin accept his challenge?

All eyes fell upon Lin Xun.

“Brilliant!” Little Golden Winged Dapeng King gave Yuan Fatian a thumbs up.

If Lin Xun refused to limit himself and defeated Yuan Fatian in the end, then it would still leave the crowd the impression that he wasn’t as good as Yuan Fatian when it came to physical refinement!

Yuan Fatian’s face was expressionless as he stood there with his arms folded. However, there was self-satisfaction in his eyes.

He hadn’t come on stage on his own volition, but now, even he had to marvel at his own wit.

“Good, because I would suggest the same if you hadn’t.” Lin Xun accepted Yuan Fatian’s idea, to the shock of the latter and the whole crowd!

In stark contrast to the stunned looks on everyone’s faces were the expressions of Toady’s group that grew even more strange. Boss is really going to great lengths to carry out his mischief!

“Good, good, good!” said Yuan Fatian proudly and generously after recovering from his shock. “Don’t worry, since I promised to teach you, I definitely won’t hide anything. However, you can’t blame me if you lose.”

Lin Xun nodded, “Naturally.”

Boom!

His fleshly energy then immediately erupted like lava and shot to the sky. Every inch of his skin glowed with a jade-like luster and emitted astonishing power.

“Supreme King stage of physical refinement!”

There was a hubbub in the audience. It was startling and unexpected to them that Demon God Lin had such profound attainments in body refinement.

Even Yuan Fatian was dumbfounded. If he remembered correctly, it had only been a few months since he had taught the Nine Pure Saint Body Art to Lin Xun!

At that time, Lin Xun had still been a complete novice in this aspect, but now, his physical cultivation had already reached the peak Supreme King stage.

Such progress was certainly heaven-defying!

However, one had to take into consideration that it was Lin Xun they were talking about. His cultivation of both spirit and qi had reached the seventh longevity stage, giving him an abundant storage of energy. Coupled with the fact that the Nine Pure Saint Body Art was a supreme art in the field, such a shocking transformation was normal.

Yuan Fatian decided to give Lin Xun some pointers before the battle started, “If the foundation is not firm, then the house will shake and collapse. If you only focus on raising the level of physical refinement, it will leave your cultivation with many hidden risks.”

Lin Xun was stunned. He then said, “I understand. Let’s start.”

Yuan Fatian snorted. “You don’t take it seriously? That’s fine. When I defeat you with the same cultivation stage, you’ll know if I’m right or wrong.”

He was very dissatisfied with Lin Xun’s attitude. He wouldn’t even bother with giving advice if it had been someone else.

Boom!

Despite what he thought of Lin Xun, his figure also emitted an explosive sound like that of a thunderstorm.

His robust figure was then covered in a layer of dazzling dao light, crystalline as if carved from glazed jade.

“This is the Supreme King stage cultivation with Empty Pure Combat Body and Empty Pure Authority Seal! Now show me what you got!”

With a thunderous roar, Yuan Fatian sprang up into the sky like a dark god. The mere power emanating from his physique caused the void to crumble and the sky to dim.

“Wheel Light Seal!”

As his palm thrusted out, a palm imprint that resembled a heavenly wheel condensed and became the only light source that dominated the world.

Lin Xun’s eyes lit up. A buzz resounded as he also deployed a palm strike, and it was the same Wheel Light Seal under the Empty Pure Authority Seal inheritance.

The crowd watched in shock as the two palm prints rose like two bright suns and clashed.

Rumble!

The region shook under the blinding explosion. In the horrifying energy waves, two figures were seen staggering back hundreds of feet.

“It’s a tie?”

The crowd was taken aback. They had all thought that Yuan Fatian, a veteran of the physical refinement way, would be like a teacher guiding his disciple, invincible and occupying an absolute advantage.

Who could have expected that he had failed to gain the upper hand from the first exchange?!

Yuan Fatian’s eyes gleamed as he was also somewhat astonished. He commented, “Not bad, you’ve already grasped some essence. But you’re still very green.”

Boom!

He once again struck out with a much stronger force than before, clearly no longer intending to hold back.

“Mountain Pusher Seal!”

A huge palm imprint appeared in front of Yuan Fatian. It looked as if he was pushing an ancient mountain forward, domineering and majestic to the extreme as the palm crushed in loud rumbles.

But almost at the same time, Lin Xun performed the same move. A palm imprint coalesced and pushed forward with a might that suppressed everything in the area.

Rumble!

The moment they clashed, everyone felt as if two divine mountains were colliding. A series of explosions resounded between the two along with waves of dao light and swept through them like a torrent.

The two staggered back and looked at each other from afar.

How is this possible?!

There was doubt on Yuan Fatian’s expression. He was inwardly annoyed and mortified that his attack had still failed to suppress the other party.

The Nine Pure Saint Body Art was the ultimate and unique technique of his Snubbed-Nosed Monkey Clan. He was confident that with his lifelong experience and achievements, he had no match on this path.

But Lin Xun’s performance caught him off guard!

Meanwhile, there was another uproar outside the battlefield.

Little Golden Winged Dapeng King even shouted, ‘‘Monkey, why are you still reserving your strength?! Hurry up and dominate him! This is the perfect opportunity to defeat him!”

Hearing this, Toady’s group couldn’t help but laugh as they were delighted by Yuan Fatian’s troubled situation. How can the monkey not realize yet that he’s in for a good beating?

All the sounds, reaching Yuan Fatian’s ears, were like mockery and distrust. His expression darkened, and his jaw clenched.

“Again!” he shouted and operated his peak Supreme King cultivation to the extreme, seething with killing intent like he had gone crazy.

The Snubbed-Nosed Monkey had been a great evil-like existence in the ancient era, extremely terrifying with the unruliest temperament. Once it went berserk, even demons and gods had to retreat in fear.

Although Yuan Fatian hadn’t completely gone berserk, it wasn’t far away.

Seeing this, Lin Xun’s eyes glowed even more brightly. Taking a deep breath, he also ran his physical power to the extreme and rushed forth.

The world was instantly filled with deafening explosions as the two god-like figures relentlessly clashed. Fleshly energy permeated the air and threw the region into chaos.

To the shock of the audience, Yuan Fatian still failed to gain a single upper hand from the intense exchanges.

In fact, in terms of power, he couldn’t even suppress Lin Xun’s momentum at all!

“Monkey, use all of your damn strength!” Little Golden Winged Dapeng King was making a ruckus as he could no longer remain calm.

Yuan Fatian’s face couldn’t be gloomier at this moment, and his heart was a raging storm. How could he dare not use his full strength at this point?

But the thing was, no matter how hard he attacked, it was impossible to do anything to Lin Xun at all, let alone dominate him. What could he even do?

He…

He was desperate too!
