The Prodigies War-Novel

That was the last tribulation lightning.

But it silently descended upon the world like a spear of judgment. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet

At that moment, all living beings trembled with fear, and the entire city fell utterly silent.

Even Lone Man and Heavenly Seer couldn’t help but narrow their eyes and assume a solemn expression.

Amid the dead stillness and silence, Lin Xun, who was standing still in midair, suddenly launched up like a divine rainbow piercing the sky. His hand stretched out to grab the spear of lightning tribulation!

Countless gazes froze at the sight, and many people’s minds went blank. No one imagined that Lin Xun would be so direct and fearless!

Lone Man and Heavenly Seer were also caught by surprise, feeling a moment of dizziness.

That was the most terrifying tribulation lightning. Even they sensed that it contained extremely unusual power.

But Lin Xun faced it head-on!

When they thought about it carefully, this was the first time that Lin Xun truly did something since the tribulation began. Before this, he had only been drinking and seemingly regarded the tribulation lightning as nothing special.

Who would have thought that they would be thrown with such an earthshaking scene the moment that he took action?

An ear splitting explosion broke the silence in the world and struck everyone’s heart hard.

Then, they saw that Lin Xun had firmly clutched the tribulation lightning bolt in his hand, and an explosion of light erupted between the two, shattering the space all around.

From afar, it looked like a divine being was subduing an evil dragon with unrivaled tyrannical power.

The spear-like tribulation lightning writhed violently, desperately trying to break free. Obscure rays of light, which represented the power of heaven, frantically circulated it, generating a tsunami of frightening destructive aura.

To the horror of everyone, Lin Xun released a long and clear roar, gripped the lightning bolt with both hands, and then applied force to it.

With a deafening boom, the spear snapped into two!

“He…”

The old monsters of the king stage were all flabbergasted, their hearts overwhelmed by feelings of endless shock and disbelief.

Meanwhile, the people in the Forbidden City only saw a god-like figure breaking a ray of light in the sky!

Lone Man slapped his thigh. “This is so damn interesting!”

A smile spread across the Heavenly Seer’s wrinkly face, signaling his relief and other indescribable emotions.

The tribulation lightning snapped and exploded into a terrifying shower of sparks in Lin Xun’s hand. The burst of light illuminated the entire sky and earth.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun stood motionless like a boulder amidst stormy waves, refusing to budge regardless of how the waves crashed down and tried to wash him away.

The scene was etched forever into the memories of everyone in the Forbidden City like an unerasable stamp.

Even if many years passed, everyone would still remember that someone had once tyrannically decided to destroy a lightning tribulation under the sky and overcome a heavenly tribulation!

At that moment, his figure illuminated the eternal sky like a pillar of light.

……

On that day, Lin Xun passed the eighth longevity tribulation and overcame the fate challenge, which astonished the entire Forbidden City and made all living beings tremble at his feat.

When the tribulation clouds dissipated, the darkness faded, and daylight returned to the world, everyone was still in a dreamlike trance-state.

“With that boy in the Lin Clan, no one would dare to touch them!”

Many aristocratic clans and powerful sects sighed secretly.

“Young Master Lin is truly a god-like being!”

The city was stirred up with enthusiastic discussions happening everywhere.

Mind Cleansing Peak was also buzzing like never. The face of every member of the Lin Clan was alight with joy, pride, awe, and respect.

Even the villagers of Feiyun Village and the servants were dancing with excitement and delight.

Nowadays, there was no need to sing praises for Lin Xun at all. Wherever he was, he was a legend that took anyone’s breath away!

And he was a legend of the Lin Clan!

……

After overcoming the tribulation, Lin Xun sat down and meditated quietly. He felt that everything inside and outside his body had become connected and his mind and spirit were clearer than ever.

There was a strong feeling of following the heart’s desire without overstepping the line.

Overcoming the fate challenging tribulation was akin to destroying an invisible shackle on the longevity path, breaking free from the imperceptible constraints, and becoming free and unfettered.

Additionally, his energy, spirit, qi, and cultivation power also underwent earth-shaking transformations, becoming far stronger than before.

However, his greatest gain had to be his improved self-confidence and invincible will!

He knew very well that he was walking a path completely different from the rest of the world and from his peers who were also on the Supreme Path.

His path could be regarded as unprecedented.

This was also the reason for it being extremely difficult and treacherous.

But similarly, every time his cultivation improved, he would gain astonishing powers that nothing could compare to!

“The ninth tribulation is known as longevity, the final hurdle on the longevity path, but as long as nothing goes wrong, it can’t stop me.”

Lin Xun thought to himself as he felt the changes within his body and his strength.

“My priority now should be the Taboo Dao Tribulation...”

Lone Man once mentioned that he had a flaw, and if he did not correct it, he very likely would not survive the Taboo Dao Tribulation.

His flaw was his physical refinement cultivation.

“From now on, I should focus on physical cultivation, and before the Taboo Dao Tribulation. comes, I have to completely integrate the Nine Pure Saint Body Art and the inheritance of the Divine Elephant Martial Emperor...” A determined glint flashed in Lin Xun’s dark eyes.

The Taboo Dao Tribulation was the most terrifying and dangerous tribulation he had to face before becoming a Saint—a heavenly barrier that no one had been able to overcome since ancient times.

Now, the coincidental great age had given Lin Xun a chance and possibility to overcome this tribulation.

Therefore, no matter what, he must grasp it well.

……

“Uncle Zhong, after I leave this time, I don’t know when I will come back. Here are some Saint treasures, king-grade herbs, precious materials, and other treasures. They will be left with you in the Lin Clan for safekeeping.”

Seven days later, Lin Xun found Lin Zhong and instructed him of his arrangement.

He planned to head to the Rotating Stars Hibernating Moon House and enter the Blood Kill Battlefield with the help of Lone Man’s power. Before he did so, he had to entrust Lin Zhong with some matters.

He brought out a storage bracelet and handed it to Lin Zhong.

The storage bracelet held some of the most precious treasures that Lin Xun had collected over the years, such as various king-grade herbs and sacred materials that were incredibly beneficial to cultivation, as well as Saint treasures, including the jet-black cleansing bowl he got from Ancient Buddha Son and the halberd he seized from Bai Longting...

There were seven or eight pieces of treasures that would be coveted by powerful Saints of the world. But to Lin Xun, although the treasures were valuable, they were not necessary.

He would rather leave them with the Lin Clan than let it sit around and gather dust.

“Young Master, you must take care of yourself!”

Although Lin Zhong had long known that this day would come, he was still broken-hearted to see Lin Xun leave and filled with worry.

“Uncle Zhong, you also need to take care of yourself. On Mind Cleansing Peak, you are the one I worried the most about. From now on, just leave the trivial affairs for others to deal with and focus your time on your cultivation. Given your aptitude, you are destined to embark on the longevity path one day,” Lin Xun urged in a serious tone.

Ever since Lin Xun had first entered the Forbidden City, Lin Zhong had been silently following him. Lin Zhong was Lin Xun’s most trusted, closest, and cherished elder; he was irreplaceable to him.

He had left some of his cultivation manuals, as well as experiences and insights he had acquired for Lin Zhong. He had also prepared some elixirs and treasures that Lin Zhong might need during his training.

By doing so, he hoped that Lin Zhong could become stronger and live longer.

“Okay, okay, okay,” Lin Zhong’s voice quivered. “I will stay alive until young master returns.”

Lin Xun was speechless for a moment and then he comforted the older man with a smile, “Maybe I will come back very soon, who knows. I heard someone say that as long as we meet again in the future, it is not called a ‘goodbye.’ Uncle Zhong, please don’t be too upset.”

Lin Zhong drew a deep breath and nodded. “I understand.”

After that, Lin Xun met up with Xiaoke, Spirit Vulture, Third Old Zhu, Lin Huaiyuan, Lin Xuefeng, Scarlet Eagle King and other important figures of Mind Cleansing Peak.

When they learned that Lin Xun was going to leave again and that no one knew when he would return, although they could not bear to part with him, they wished him well and reminded him to take care of himself.

Lin Xun felt incredibly warm.

Being cared about could make anyone feel less lonely. Whether it was familial love or friendship, it was always better than being alone.

“Chirp—!”

Just as Lin Xun was about to leave, he heard frantic chirping from the distance.

Then, a fiery shadow darted across the air. He looked closer and saw that it was a little fiery red guy as round as a ball.

Many years ago, Jiujiu fell into a strange slumber and had not woken up since.

Lin Xun had also visited the little guy when he returned to the lower world, but unfortunately, he was still in deep slumber.

According to Little Silver’s investigation, Jiujiu was a very rare fire spirit born from the divine fire of heaven and earth.

It was not uncommon to see such creatures in the ancient times, and they each possessed different talents and followed different ways of cultivating.

For example, Jiujiu’s way of cultivation was sleeping. As a fire spirit body, it had an extremely long lifespan and seemed to never experience birth, old age, illness and death.

But similarly, it progressed and transformed very slowly.

Lin Xun poked Jiujiu’s belly. It was still as soft and elastic as before like a bouncy ball. His heart was filled with joy.

Back when he was still at Blood Kill Camp, Jiujiu was always by his side. After all these years, the little guy was still as adorable and lovable as before.

Unfortunately, Lin Xun was about to travel to the Blood Kill Battlefield and was unable to bring Jiujiu with him.

Jiujiu’s eyes welled up with tears and very quickly tears started rushing down his face and he would not stop chirping. Lin Xun could not bear to see him like that.

But in the end, he could only comfort him in a gentle voice and tell him to train on Mind Cleansing Peak while waiting for him to return.

That afternoon, just before it got dark, Lin Xun came to Rotating Stars Hibernating Moon House alone.

“Are you ready?”

Lone Man had been waiting for a long time.

Lin Xun nodded.

“Consider this as a little token from me. Carry this thing with you always. If you run into an enemy that you can’t fight against, use it to scare them away and perhaps it can save your life,” said Lone Man.

As he spoke, he took out a dusty domino and casually tossed it to Lin Xun.
