The Prodigies War

Slash!

A single word rang out like an unrejectable decree of the heavens and was swiftly followed by compliance!

Hou Tianzhong, Gou Yangyuan, and Liu Jiankun were beheaded...

The three King stage old monsters were put to death without exception. Even Gou Yangyuan, who had begun the longevity tribulations, wasn’t spared from this fate.

The blade fell like a guillotine of the heavens, instantly extinguishing their lives regardless of their powerful cultivation.

This was the power of the Zhoutian Star Dipper Array!

The array that was based on the Zhoutian Star Dipper consisted of three hundred and sixty-five Zhoutian Star Dipper Diagrams and fourteen thousand eight hundred Little Zhoutian Star Dipper Diagrams.

The entire array had transformed into the Star Chess Sea that resembled a mini galaxy with numerous bright stars orbiting along their respective trajectories within it.

It was a Saint-level array!

Strictly speaking, Lin Xun was only able to utilize less than one-thousandth of the array’s full power.

Even so, that tiny fraction of power allowed him to slaughter King stage experts as if they were nothing more than chickens and dogs.

"Slash!"

Lin Xun stood in the sky above the island. His spirit sense encompassed a three-thousand-mile area around him. With a swipe of his finger, another heavenly blade flew forth.

One of the Longevity Land King experts had just rushed to the edge of the three-thousand-mile boundary only to discover to his horror that the path was blocked by a ‘wall’ made of starlight. The wall was connected to the sky above and the sea below, making it impossible to cross!

Just as he turned around to find another way out, a glittering, snow-like blade of light arrived and struck like a divine punishment from the heavens.

In an instant, he burst into pieces and disintegrated into ashes.

A granny from the Spirit Treasure Holy Land shrieked, "Lin Xun, I admit defeat. I beg you to give me a way out. I swear that I will never cause trouble for you again!"

She was already frightened out of her wits. She trembled uncontrollably as she bowed at Lin Xun and begged for mercy.

"Slash!"

Lin Xun ignored her and uttered a single word. Another heavenly blade descended and annihilated the granny with a small poof. She was unable to put up any resistance at all.

She wore a stunned look until her death as if unable to believe what was happening.

"You little shit! You're bound to suffer a great calamity if you continue to be so ruthless!"

A white-haired elder roared angrily, his eyes nearly popping from their sockets.

He had been trying his best to break the starlight wall previously, but ended up despairing because the supreme restriction fluctuations that made up the wall were impossible to even shake!

Lin Xun displayed an indifferent expression as he responded with a single word, "Slash!"

Plop!

The elder was dispatched amidst a roar of resentment and terror.

Now, only two King experts remained.

Their complexions were deathly pale as they shivered violently. Their hearts had already been swallowed by fear.

They had arrived earlier with the domineering aggression and disdain of mighty King stage experts. Lin Xun had been nothing but an ant in their eyes whom they sought to crush in order to rob him of his treasures.

They had originally believed that he was an easy target.

Who could have imagined that such a shocking turn of events would follow?!

With the restriction power of the Star Chess Sea, the young man unleashed an unstoppable bloodbath.

The bloody scenes of death that ensued would undoubtedly be acknowledged as first-class terrors in the world.

Now, the two remaining King experts were completely flustered and scared. Their expressions were filled with fear and panic without any trace of their previous majesty and disdain.

An ant that could be easily crushed suddenly obtaining the power to slaughter dragons was undoubtedly one of the most terrifying things in the world.

A middle-aged man in scholarly attire took a deep breath and slowly said, "Lin Xun, I’m sure we can always talk things out. I believe that committing such a slaughter was never your intention. Why don't we sit down first and have a good chat?"

The other golden-robed elder also hurriedly spoke out, "Yes, you’re still young and will definitely become a King expert and then a Saint expert in the future. It is best not to go to the extreme and practice moderation or the Ancient Wasteland Domain might not be able to accommodate you no matter how vast it is."

In this moment, they looked nothing like King experts who could summon the wind and instead resembled prisoners desperately begging for forgiveness with meek voices.

"Did you guys give me any chance to speak earlier when you came to kill me?"

The corner of Lin Xun's lips spread out in a cold arc. ''Wanting to chat with me at death’s door? Do you guys think that I’m easy to reason with?"

"We would never dare to!" The scholarly middle-aged man and the golden-robed elder hurriedly shook their heads.

"In that case, why should I waste time talking rubbish with you two?"

Before Lin Xun's words faded, a bright, heavenly beam descended from the sky like a thunderbolt.

Plop!

The scholarly middle-aged man was executed.

The golden-robed old man roared in shock and anger, "You…you…you...are you intent on going to such extremes without leaving any leeway for discussion? You’re making an enemy of the world! You’ll definitely face a great disaster the moment you leave the Star Chess Sea!"

"Make an enemy of the world..."

Lin Xun muttered as his black eyes grew increasingly cold, ''Do you guys actually believe you can represent the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain? Moreover, so what if the world becomes my enemy? I, Lin Xun, have never been afraid of a fight!"

With those final words, his finger swiped across the air.

A snow-white blade descended from the sky like divine punishment. No matter how the golden-robed elder tried to dodge, he was ultimately caught and executed.

All eight King experts from different dao lineages were finally purged from existence at this moment.

For a time, a heavy silence hung over the sea with only the brilliant starlight continuing to flow in the area.

Lin Xun landed on the island and sat on the ground.

He didn’t feel anything after killing eight King experts because he had already known that they were fated to die the moment they approached the island.

Lin Xun took a deep breath, took out some aeth essence, and began to meditate.

Controlling the Zhoutian Star Dipper Array was extremely draining. Hence, just killing those eight King experts had consumed a large portion of his aeth power.

"This is only the first wave. I wonder when the second wave will arrive..."

Lin Xun meditated while waiting.

……

At the shore of the Star Chess Sea.

As time passed by little by little, the experts from the various great orthodoxies gradually grew somewhat impatient.

What the hell is going on?

Could so many King experts together have failed to find a mere Demon God Lin?

Could he have yet to leave the Immortal Forbidden Realm?

Impossible!

Everyone knew that the Immortal Forbidden Realm was one of the East Victory World’s five forbidden zones because it did not allow anyone to easily approach!

The only exception was the Little Giants List Competition which occurred once every five years. Otherwise, no one could enter no matter who they were.

This was the unanimous conclusion that countless cultivators had reached after much investigation over the years.

Time continued to pass. The bright and vast Star Chess Sea remained calm and peaceful without any hint of a disturbance.

Gradually, even the King stage old monsters began to frown and feel impatient.

Why was it taking so long to search for a mere Cyclic Derivation stage youngster?

No one was aware that the extreme depths of the Star Chess Sea had been sealed off and the eight King stage monsters had long since been exterminated inside it.

No one could have fathomed that Lin Xun was capable of singlehandedly slaughtering eight King experts.

Everyone subconsciously believed that the reason for the delay was that they were unable to locate Lin Xun.

Either that or some sort of unexpected situation had occurred mid-way.

Of course, even if an unexpected situation cropped up, no one could have imagined that all King stage old monsters had already been killed.

Suddenly, Gou Yanzhen took a deep breath and loudly spoke out from the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan camp, "I'll go have a look!"

His patience had reached its limit.

As a descendant of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan, his sense of smell was naturally the best in the world. Although the vast Star Chess Sea was almost infinite, he refused to believe that he would fail to find any traces of Lin Xun!

"You must not!"

Gou Yangxiu once again stopped Gou Yanzhen and coldly said, ''You’re the most outstanding 'Ten Thousand Killer' level supreme heaven pride of our clan’s younger generation. Don’t you know that the most important person must always stay safe?"

"But I..."

"No buts." Gou Yangxiu firmly said, "Yangjia, you go!"

He looked toward a stoic-looking tanned middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was called Gou Yangjia and was an existence who reached the first longevity tribulation stage. He silently nodded upon hearing the command.

"Take the Great Blood Prison Stamp with you!"

Gou Yangxiu hesitated slightly, but ultimately clenched his teeth and handed Gou Yangjia a large stamp that was overflowing with an intimidating blood-red gleam.

An incomparably terrifying Saint pressure immediately spread from the blood-colored stamp, causing a flurry of agitation among the nearby cultivators.

The Great Blood Prison Stamp was a Saint treasure of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan. It had been stained by the blood of countless cultivators in the ancient era and possessed monstrous power.

"Is that necessary?" Gou Yangjia felt that they were making a big fuss over a minor issue.

Gou Yangxiu voice-transmitted, "It's easy to kill that little scumbag, but don't forget that there are other people present as well. An additional Saint treasure will deter them a little more and reduce the risk."

His words seemed to hint at something else.

Gou Yangjia nodded. Without further hesitation, he took off into the air.

……

"It seems to be time for us to let the Omega Sword show its sharpness."

Ma Yuanqing softly sighed as he took out an old, pitch-black sword case and handed it to an elder beside him.

He displayed a serious expression and said, "Junior Brother Wenyuan, make sure to maintain the prestige of our Omega Sword Sect!"

The elder was dressed in hemp clothes, had ash-gray hair, and a thin face. His name was Zhong Wenyuan.

Upon hearing this, he solemnly accepted the sword case and declared, ''I will not bring dishonor to the sect!"

Whoosh!

He secured the sword case to his back and rushed into the sky like a shooting rainbow.

……

"Hmph, these old fellows can’t endure any longer and have brought out their Saint treasures. Since that’s the case, we can't lag behind either."

In the Longevity Land camp, Shang Wenjin flipped his palm, and a fist-sized bronze palace appeared on it. Although it was tiny, it exuded a terrifying aura that oppressed heaven and earth.

Longevity Palace!

"Junior Sister Mo Zhen, you will be dispatched this time. Remember, our purpose is to kill Lin Xun. There’s no need to spare anyone who tries to obstruct us!"

Shang Wenjin passed the Longevity Palace to a beautiful young woman next to him who was wearing a water-green dress.

As he spoke, his gaze swept toward the other factions with a cold smile on his lips.

She naturally understood that although the factions might seem to be bringing out their Saint treasures to better secure a kill on Lin Xun, the more important reason was to deter the other rival factions!

……

"Hmph, if that is how it is, we shall also let them experience our Spirit Treasure Holy Land's ‘Purple Azure Luminous Umbrella!’"

"Bring out the 'Suppress Heaven Ruler' of our Heaven Axis Holy Land!"

Meanwhile, other factions also began to move.

It was an indirect competition where everyone sought to restrain their competitors and guard against the others using Saint treasures to steal the prey, Lin Xun.
