The Prodigies War

A broken spear suspected to be stained with the blood of a Saint!

This news was indeed unbelievable. The boundary river had changed and such a treasure had appeared. It was easy to imagine that, if this news spread, it would attract an unknown number of cultivators to come and investigate the area.

“Since ancient times, it’s been rumored that an unprecedented battle of Saints caused the world to darken, the sky covered with blood, and the heaven and earth were filled with signs of destruction like the end of the world...This lasted for a hundred days.

“This Saint battle also left the Ancient Wasteland Domain severely damaged and caused it to split into four worlds to this day.

“The boundary river was precisely the cracked area and where the Ancient Wasteland split from. It was the area where the battle was most intense and tragic,” Scarlet Silk said in a charming voice along the way. “Looking at it now, the rumor may be true.”

The team took a short rest in Wenshui City before they headed for the boundary river hundreds of miles away from the city.

Along the way, they came across many teams of cultivators also in action, some maneuvering in the sky and some traveling on foot. The sheer number of people was spectacular to see!

Among them were explorers who often appeared around the boundary river and cultivators from all over the West Infinity World.

There were even cultivators from ancient and powerful forces.

“The change in the boundary river has already attracted the attention of people all over the world. This place will soon become a place of chaos and the source of countless storms,” Kou Xing said aloud. He carried two blades on his back and looked particularly stern and fierce.

He couldn’t help but frown at the busy scene. “We must not waste time and quickly act.”

The group of people immediately quickened their pace.

In front of the boundary river, a strange and vast silver current roared down from the sky, galloped in the air, and then poured into the endless boundary river.

From afar, the sky and water seemed to be connected, appearing more vast and turbulent than it was. It did not look like a river, but instead a boundless sea acting as a barrier to the world!

Within the boundary river, thunder roared and lightning flashed, and occasionally terrifying black holes emerged and released a destructive aura capable of devouring everything. The sight of it was enough to send a chill down the spine.

That was the boundary river.

Standing between the four great worlds of the Ancient Wasteland Domain, it was like a natural moat blocking the paths of countless cultivators.

The boundary river was also a famous land of great dangers in the ancient wasteland due to the many eerie and mysterious things that happened within it.

A real Life Death Stage King had tried to cross the boundary river once and reach the world on the other side, but he died halfway and was reduced to bones.

It was said that the Life Death Stage King was killed by just an inconspicuous red fish!

Similar legends often circulated and so the boundary river became a forbidden land that even old monsters of the king stage didn’t dare to recklessly set foot into it.

However, unlike in the past, the boundary river was no longer as violent and ferocious after some sort of change. Instead, it had become relatively quiet.

But even so, it was still unpredictable, eerie, and full of unknowns.

“Huh?”

Lin Xun and the others were surprised as soon as they arrived.

They didn’t know when it started, but the banks of the boundary river were blocked off by a group of cultivators and a checkpoint was set up by them. Anyone who wanted to travel in or out of the boundary river had to go through an inspection.

Numerous cultivators were orderly lining up in a long queue, waiting there to be inspected.

Kou Xing, the leader, stopped a cultivator to ask, “What’s going on?”

“Experts from the Thousand Illusions Sect have blocked off this area to capture Demon God Lin and prevent him from escaping from the West Infinity World via the Boundary River.”

The cultivator patiently explained, “Besides this area, the other areas near the boundary river all over the West Infinity World have also been taken over by different sects and clans, all for the purpose of capturing Demon God Lin.”

It turned out that they wanted to capture Demon God Lin.

Understanding dawned on the faces of Kou Xing, Green Face, and Scarlet Silk.

Only Lin Xun raised his brows, thinking to himself, Bai Fengliu was right, those ancient sects and clans would go all out to kill me!

“Hmph, how can a peerless genius like Demon God Lin be captured so easily?” Green Face snorted coldly.

“Those ancient sects are bullies. Deaths are inevitable in the battle of the Dao Lantern Festival. How can they attack and try to kill Demon God Lin but they don’t let him fight back?” Scarlet Silk said contemptuously.

“Speak less. Both Demon God Lin and the ancient sects and clans are not people we can talk about,” Kou Xing reprimanded.

Immediately, Green Face, Scarlet Silk and others all shut up.

Miss Le, who was walking in the center of the group, asked aloud, “Is the Demon God Lin you talk about Lin Xun who slaughtered all the talented geniuses at the Dao Lantern Festival in fury?”

She was dressed in all-black and a man’s disguise, and her beautiful face was pale and sickly.

“Precisely.” Kou Xing nodded.

Miss Le nodded, but she didn’t say anything else. Her brows were constantly furrowed as though there was a lot of trouble on her mind.

Everyone waited patiently in line for around one hour before it was their turn to be inspected.

Buzz!

A disciple of the Thousand Illusions Sect held up a copper plate in his hand and inspected Kou Xing and the others one by one. The rune patterns on the plate flickered brightly.

The copper plate was called the Illusion Breaking Mirror. Any cultivator who activated an illusion art to disguise themselves would be exposed before the mirror.

Unfortunately, this object might be mysterious, but it was ineffective against the Great Formless Art.

This was because it was not an illusion, but an ancestral dao art from the Azure Hill Sky Fox Clan. Not even old monsters of the king stage could see through its secrets, let alone a mirror.

Lin Xun calmly accepted the inspection and smoothly passed it.

However, when he was about to leave, he inadvertently noticed a familiar figure in the corner of his eye.

The person was wearing a purple dress that highlighted her graceful figure. Her eyebrows were as perfect as a painting, and her face was as tranquil as still water. Her fair and smooth forehead seemed to be glowing, and her clear eyes sparkled with wisdom. She had a pure and holy aura lingering around her, which made her even more mysterious and ethereal.

Surprisingly, it was Luo Jia, a successor of the Miluo Palace from the Emperor Earth World!

As she talked to a youth in feathered clothes beside her, her demeanor was as gentle and demure as an orchid in an empty valley.

Why did she come here?

Her presence surprised Lin Xun at first, but then he immediately withdrew his gaze and carried onwards.

He and Luo Jia had no grudge between them nor had there been any conflicts between them during the Dao Lantern Festival.

The youth in feathered clothes asked with a frown, “Luo Jia, is Demon God Lin as terrifying as rumored?”

Luo Jia thought for a moment before she answered, “He, like you and I, has set foot on the supreme path and also holds a Saint treasure…”

Before she finished speaking, the youth’s eyes lit up. “Is that true? Were you able to identify the origin of his treasure?”

Luo Jia shook her head. “I could only tell that it is a pagoda made of genesium. Its power didn’t seem terrifying, but it has to be extraordinary since it suppressed the Longevity Palace.”

Genesium!

The youth’s eyes blazed as if he was eyeing extremely attractive prey. His entire body emitted a menacing power, which made many nearby cultivators become pale with fear.

“A legendary treasure such as genesium can make even Saints go crazy. It’s unbelievable that Demon God Lin actually owns a pagoda constructed from genesium. The pagoda can’t be an ordinary treasure!”

The youth’s voice quivered with excitement, “Luo Jia, do you think Demon God Lin would cross the boundary river and leave West Infinity World?”

Luo Jia knew that the youth coveted the Saint treasure in Lin Xun’s hands, so she couldn’t help reminding him, “If Yu Lingkong hadn’t been rescued by the Longevity Palace, he would have died at his hands.”

The youth was taken aback for a moment before a ruminative smile curled the corners of his lips. “Yu Lingkong? He’s just a talented genius created by a family of Saints with the help of a tremendous amount of cultivation resources. I guarantee he will also lose to me if we fight!!” His voice was mixed with disdain and confidence.

Luo Jia frowned, but she said nothing in the end.

The youth in feathered clothes was called Shun Baixuan. He came from an ancient family of Saints, and he had a better background than Yu Lingkong. He was also regarded as a little heaven-defying monster of the Shun Clan due to his remarkable bloodline and brash and domineering personality.

If Luo Jia didn’t need Shun Baixuan’s help, then she wouldn’t have gotten in touch with him.

It was understandable; he was a demon king who stirred up trouble wherever he went.

And now, he changed his target to Demon God Lin, which brought a bit of a headache to Luo Jia.

She knew very well that Demon God Lin was powerful. If Shun Baixuan provoked him, a fierce and tragic bloody battle would surely erupt between them. She didn’t want to see that happen regardless of what the outcome of the battle would be.

“I came to the boundary river to find something. If you have other things on your mind, then I will take action by myself,” Luo Jia said calmly.

“What other things would I have on my mind?” Shun Baixuan smiled. “Of course, if we run into Demon God Lin on the way, there is no harm in borrowing his Saint treasure to play with.”

Luo Jia scrunched her brows and sighed. She gave up on persuading him.

Moreover, she didn’t think that they would run into Lin Xun on this trip, so she didn’t refuse to let Shun Baixuan travel with her.

Before long, the two quickly headed for the boundary river.

……

Two hours after Lin Xun and his party entered the boundary river.

On the banks of the boundary river was a group of formidable experts, each one with a forbidding countenance and a terrifying aura. They were headed by six half-step kings!

Everyone fell deathly silent with widened eyes, surprised to see so many cultivators appearing here all of a sudden.

They came from the same force.

An old man with a rosy complexion and white hair asked coldly, “Have you ever seen this girl?” In his hand was a painted scroll of a beautiful and charming girl with furrowed brows and a pale complexion.

If Lin Xun was present, then he would be able to identify the girl in the painting as Miss Le, who was traveling with them!
