The Prodigies War

Su Xingfeng still vividly remembered how he lost to Lin Xun in the Deva Secret Realm a few years ago. 

A few years later after that, Su Xingfeng managed to successfully join the ranks of the core disciples of the Spirit Treasure Holy Land, thinking that was enough to wipe away the embarrassment. 

However, he couldn’t accept the fact that Lin Xun had become the famous Demon God Lin!

He refused to accept it. He refused to give in. He refused to admit that Lin Xun had once again overshadowed him. 

Therefore, when he heard the news of Lin Xun’s appearance in Ink White Province, he wanted to find out for himself how strong his nemesis had become after a few years.  

Now, he finally realized the terror of Demon God Lin!

In just three moves, Demon God Lin suppressed him without any suspense, allowing him no chance to counterattack!

Compared to a few years ago, Lin Xun could be regarded as an entirely different person. Not only were his combat arts and means incredibly powerful, but his aura was also so overwhelmingly strong that Su Xingfeng couldn’t help but feel despair.

He also had set foot onto the Supreme Path, but even so, when he faced Lin Xun, he was subdued and defeated as he did a few years ago!

It was also then that Su Xingfeng understood that, over the past few years, he might have grown stronger, but Lin Xun was also stronger than before, and abnormally stronger!

He reckoned that, among all the successors of Heaven Axis Holy Land, only Yan Zhanqiu had a chance of defeating Lin Xun. 

However, before Su Xingfeng could think about it further, he was beaten unconscious by Lin Xun.

Moments later, the other sixteen disciples from Heaven Axis Holy Land were all suppressed, and none were able to escape.

……

Wuling City.

The night was as gentle as water. The city was still brightly lit.

A travel-worn cultivator had just arrived outside the city and was about to enter when he inadvertently looked up and was struck with horror. 

On the tall and majestic city wall, several figures were hung in a line, hands tied behind their backs and looking distressed. 

A sentence was written across the wall in striking blood-colored writing: “The disciples of the so-called upright and noble sect shamelessly colluded with the black dog clan. The heavens will not tolerate such despicable and heinous behavior!”

The cultivator gasped, inwardly trembling. 

Before long, more and more people gathered around the city gate, aghast at the sight. 

“Who did this? Who would dare to hang the disciples of Heaven Axis Holy Land here to show off their power?!”

Many people were shaken. 

Wuling City was the closest city to Heaven Axis Holy Land. The fact that so many Heaven Axis Holy Land successors were tied up across the city wall was a direct slap to the face of Heaven Axis Holy Land!

Someone gasped, “They colluded with the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan? If so, those guys are really despicable. Who doesn’t know that those black dogs are the most hated group of cultivators in the world?” 

The blood-colored writing had exposed something extremely shocking, and if proven true, would taint the name and reputation of Heaven Axis Holy Land. 

“Demon God Lin must have done this! Only he would have the guts to do such an outrageous thing!”

“That’s right, isn’t Heaven Axis Holy Land looking for him these days? This is clearly an act of revenge from that kid.”

Many cultivators guessed the culprit right away. Their hearts churned endlessly as the name of the culprit came to their minds. 

Before this incident, when they heard the news that Heaven Axis Holy Land was hunting for Lin Xun, they were excited to see Demon God Lin suffer. 

But who would have thought that Demon God Lin would suddenly launch a counterattack?

Moreover, it was an overt counterattack. How domineering!

“Once this matter spreads, Heaven Axis Holy Land definitely won’t leave this matter at that. There is no doubt that from tonight on, a storm will gather over Ink White Province…” 

Some people felt that tonight’s incident would cause unpredictable disturbances.

In the distance, Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe retracted their gazes from the commotion, looked at each other, and laughed silently.

“This gift will definitely infuriate Heaven Axis Holy Land, and the old bastard Su Kong, who colluded with the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan, will not only have to bear the infamy, but he also has to give Heaven Axis Holy Land a satisfactory explanation. Otherwise, it will have a very bad impact on the reputation of Heaven Axis Holy Land.” Xiao Qinghe chuckled. 

As someone from the Moon Sun Sacred Palace, he knew very well about the ways that the ancient sects took care of things. To protect their dignity and reputation, they would never choose to openly work with the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan. Otherwise, the world would look at them with disgust. 

“It's just a pity that I didn’t get to meet Miss Zhao Jingxuan this time.” Xiao Qinghe cast a glance at Lin Xun. 

“Didn’t you say that she has already gone to the Immortal Sacred Mountain? It just so happens that we are also going there to participate in the Little Giants List Competition. We will see each other there.” Lin Xun appeared calm on the surface but in truth, he was also a little disappointed. 

His purpose for coming to Ink White Province was just to see Zhao Jingxuan. He never imagined that it would cause such a scene. 

However, he had no regrets. 

The enmity between him and Heaven Axis Holy Land had been formed a few years ago. Even if he avoided a conflict today, he couldn’t guarantee that one would not happen in the future. 

“But I must remind you that Yan Zhanqiu has also gone to the Immortal Sacred Mountain with Zhao Jingxuan,” Xiao Qinghe reminded him. “And what you did today will definitely spread to Yan Zhanqiu’s ears. He will definitely treat you as a thorn in the flesh just to protect the reputation of his sect, if not for Zhao Jingxuan.”

Lin Xun nodded. Of course, he also knew the consequences of his actions. 

……

A few days later, the entire East Victory World was shaken. 

Lin Xun, who was already under a lot of attention after making it onto the top spot of the Genius Legend Bulletin, once again amazed countless cultivators in the world. 

Someone counted the days and realized that it had been less than three months since Demon God Lin came to the East Victory World. During that period, he had already turned the world upside down, causing disturbances in several ancient sects, including Heaven Axis Holy Land in Ancient Blue Province, Omega Sword Sect in Baiyujing, and Spirit Treasure Holy Land in Ink White Province!

Those three were all ancient illustrious sects with a solid foundation and reputation!

However, Demon God Lin, a young man with no background and sect, dared to challenge those ancient sects and caused a huge disturbance every single time. Additionally, he managed to escape unscathed every single time! 

There were quite a few ancient sects distributed throughout the East Victory World. After all, it was considered the hometown of all saints and also the place acknowledged by the Ancient Wasteland Domain as the continuation of the Saint Path. 

Some ancient sects originally thought little of Demon God Lin’s appearance, believing that he was just a little junior causing a ruckus. 

But now, all ancient sects were alarmed and began to pay close attention to the young man who rose abruptly like a shooting star.

He came from the lower domain, and he had no backing and no sect supporting him. He was alone yet he managed to escape from the hands of the ancient sects time and time again. This fact alone was already astonishing enough!

“That boy is like a demon—he is wild and lawless. Once he rises, he is destined to bring disaster upon the world.” Many sects shared the same opinion. 

Many sects couldn’t help but be wary of Lin Xun, a young man from a humble background who dared to repeatedly challenge the ancient sects. 

“The great age is nearing and unprecedented changes are about to happen in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. While the old is being transitioned to the new, it is not surprising that a young genius like Demon God Lin is born.”

However, more sects decided to maintain the attitude of a spectator. There was never a lack of geniuses and talents in the world. Although Lin Xun had behaved in a very showy manner recently, he was still just a youngster after all. 

There were quite a few others who were as superb as him, and some were even more outstanding than him.

Whether or not he could step into the ranks of the Absolute Apex King when the great age came might be the only way to truly assess his foundation and how far he could walk on his cultivation path!

While the outside world was in spirited discussion, Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe had already arrived at a desolate snow plains.

The surroundings were blanketed in nothing but ice, snow and frost. Even the sky and the earth were all silvery white.

“The Immortal Sacred Mountain is located in a secret realm. To enter it, one must first cross the Mysterious Ice Frost Plains.” As Xiao Qinghe breathed out, the warm moisture in his breath immediately condensed into tiny droplets of ice and clunk to the ground. 

“This place is rumored to be the lair of the ancient Torch Dragon Clan. Not only is the air here bone-chilling, but also many terrifying beasts are lying dormant. It is not easy to get through this place safely.” Xiao Qinghe explained as he navigated the area with Lin Xun. 

Although the Grand Universe Ark was extremely fast, it consumed a lot of energy. So, unless necessary, Lin Xun wanted to avoid traveling on such a showy Saint treasure. 

The Little Giants List Competition would take place in around seven days. According to Xiao Qinghe, if they did not run into any accident, they should reach the Immortal Sacred Mountain before then. 

Amidst endless snow, the two quickly disappeared into the distance. 

A moment later, a burst of fierce battle cries rang far away, Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe halted abruptly and activated their spirit sense to check out the commotion. 

In the far distance, a giant, thousand-foot-long ice python with a body as thick as a house hurled into the air and fought a majestic-looking man. 

The giant ice python was extremely fierce and powerful. The indistinct pair of horns on the top of its head gave it the appearance of a dragon as it darted through the air, manipulating the power of lightning, thunder and frost. 

It was no exaggeration to say that even half-step kings would die at the hands of this beast!

However, to the surprise of Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe, the majestic man had the upper hand over the giant ice python!

He had long hair that blazed like fire, and the four-foot-long, blood-red saber in his hand flared up like a bolt of lightning, adding to his flamboyance. 

His fighting style was extremely unique. His blade moved lightning-fast, and every streak of blade qi crisscrossing in the air was as bright as if condensed from the lightning of the nine heavens. They filled the area with a terrifying aura of destruction, causing the surrounding space to ripple and crumble as it spread.   

Even from a distance, it was clearly extremely domineering. 

Bang!

When Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe looked over, the battle was already coming to an end. They saw the majestic figure rush into the sky like a stream of flame and then it slashed downward like a blood-colored lightning bolt. 

The huge head of the ice python exploded into pieces!

The dazzling flash of lightning silhouetted the blade-wielding majestic figure, making him look like an unrivaled god of blades.
