The Prodigies War

“Why didn’t you use the Saint treasure right away?” Kong Ling asked with a frown.

“Because Lin Xun is not qualified!”

Ma Yuanqing calmly explained, “Everyone knows that he holds a Saint treasure and that it has been used to kill a king-level cultivator, but that was only achievable for him because his opponent was careless. If his opponents are on guard, even if he has ten Saint treasures, he would not be able to kill a single king cultivator!

“Saint treasures are amazing, but the wielder must possess the power to match it to display its full power. That kid likely wouldn’t even be able to bring out one-thousandth of the Saint treasure’s power.”

After a pause, he continued, “The purpose of the Saint treasure this time was not to kill the kid, but for a very simple reason: to restrict the power of other forces.”

Understanding dawned on Kong Ling’s face. 

……

The silvery sea water did not ripple in the slightest, and the isolated islands appeared to be embedded within it like chess pieces. 

Lin Xun, who was sitting cross-legged on a boulder, opened his eyes and rose to his feet with the calmest of expressions.

He sensed the second group of enemies approaching from a distance. 

Swoosh! Swoosh! 

This time, six old monsters of the King Stage had come! Every one of them exuded a monstrous imposing bearing as they darted across the air and stood around the isolated islands like overlords. 

They discovered the presence of Lin Xun straight away. To their surprise, he did not attempt to run or hide.

They scrunched their brows. They all thought that the first batch of kings dispatched had yet to discover Lin Xun or that they had met with an unexpected situation so they quickly came as reinforcement. 

Who would have thought that as soon as they reached the depths of the Star Chess Sea, they would discover Lin Xun?

This was strange.

“Little brother, have you seen...other people?” Mo Zhen from the Longevity Land asked aloud, smiling sweetly.

She was delicately pretty like a young girl and her long aqua dress added an alluring charm to her. 

“Yes.” Lin Xun said causally. 

The expressions of the other king-level cultivators tensed. 

Mo Zhen’s eyes flashed. “Then where are they?”

Lin Xun pointed at the silver sea water in front and said, “Are you here to mourn for them? I buried them all here.”

The faces of the king-level experts grew sullen and their eyes turned cold. They found the situation more and more bizarre. 

The Cyclic Derivation Stage young man behaved too unusually composed even for someone at the Pinnacle of the Supreme Path. It did not seem as though he was waiting for death, but more like he was waiting for them!

They all exchanged suspicious glances at one another, dispelling the urge to act immediately, and decided to find out the situation first. 

Deep down in their hearts, they didn’t believe in Lin Xun’s words and thought that he was talking nonsense.

“Little brother, don’t joke around. Your big sister’s heart can’t take it. Can you talk to me properly?” Mo Zhen spoke softly in her captivatingly sweet voice.

She was indeed very beautiful. Her every frown, smile, and her every gesture and movement oozed elegance and grace. The king-level experts couldn’t help but cast furtive glances at her and cursed that the women from Longevity Land were all so flirtatious. 

Lin Xun frowned, “Old woman, how old are you? How can you still call yourself my big sister, can you also talk to me properly? Do you know what an old lech is?”

Mo Zhen’s expression visibly changed. Old woman? This little bastard has such a vicious mouth!

“Boy, we can do this the easy way or the hard way! Do you think that because you hold a Saint treasure, you can disregard us all?”

Mo Zhen’s face was colder than frost. Her tone and mannerisms instantly changed, replaced by a murderous intent that could reach the depths of people’s hearts.

If she was coquettish before, then now, she was like a female Asura!

Her rapid change chilled the other king-level experts, realizing that the woman must not be underestimated.

But Lin Xun seemed unbothered by the threats. He swept his dark eyes over the six king experts and said, “If you are not here to pay tribute to the dead souls, then you are here to die.”

He pointed to the distant sea once again. “This place is like a burial ground and this sea is like a coffin. It is more than enough to bury thousands of old creatures like you. Then, allow me to personally send you on your way!”

Before his voice died away, he had already soared into the air. 

Boom!

In the sky, ten thousand stars appeared, pouring out a million rays of starlight that bathed Lin Xun. While his body was glowing brighter and brighter, endless terrifying murderous intent spread out from him.

Mo Zhen and the others smiled calmly and did not panic. 

They had already guessed that Lin Xun had a trick up his sleeve since he dared to wait here for them and faced them with such confidence. It turned out that his trick was nothing more than the Saint treasure and the king-level forbidden array.

The scene in front of them did not surprise them.

However, suddenly, their pupils shrank and they were startled. They realized that the waves of forbidden array energy surging across the world were far beyond the power of a king-grade forbidden array.

“It’s the supreme forbidden power that envelops the Star Chess Sea! That bastard wants to kill with a borrowed knife!” Zhong Wenyuan from the Omega Sword Sect thundered.

Then, with a clang, the lid of a sword box swung open and a dark blue, three-foot-long sword shot into the sky. 

At that moment, it felt as though a sword god had descended upon the world, demonstrating the brilliance of the Saint Path!

Omega Sword!

The sword was so bright and glaring that it was impossible to look at it directly. It was the top treasured weapon of the Omega Sword Sect. 

Instantly, Zhong Wenyuan exuded confidence and superiority and no longer panicked.

At the same time—

Rumble—

With a flick of her beautiful hand, Mo Zhen summoned the Longevity Palace to the sky. The ancient bronze building was inscribed with all sorts of cryptic dao runes that combined to form spectacular diagrams of the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers. 

Buzz!

An umbrella bloomed in the sky and two steaks of divine purple and azure light emerged on its surface to form the yin and yang symbol before the umbrella blanketed and isolated the sky. 

The Purple-Azure Luminous Umbrella!

A majestic old man from the Spirit Treasure Holy Land was holding up an umbrella in the sky. 

Boom!

A sky full of blood-colored light sprang up, turning into shadows of fiends that guarded a tremendous blood-colored stamp. Their furious howls reverberated across heaven and earth.

Great Blood Prison Stamp!

Gou Yangjia’s aura also changed accordingly.

Crack!

  

A jade ruler entwined with blinding lightning bolts took shape. Even if it only stood at two feet tall and four fingers wide, the tyrannical power it released was enough to shake heaven.

Suppress Heaven Ruler!

The precious treasure of the Heaven Axis Holy Land was now in the hands of a short middle-aged man dressed in a luxurious robe. 

On the Azure Sea Sect’s side, a golden jade disk spun up from the hands of a middle-aged scholar, shooting out streaks of golden flames to incinerate the space. 

All that happened at the same time. Six Saint treasures simultaneously appeared in the world. The mere aura emitted from each of them was enough for the air to whimper and the sky to dim. 

This was no doubt a scene that would horrify the world. It was rare to see a single Saint treasure in normal times, but now, a total of six appeared at the same time!

“Little bastard, you should stop putting up a fight and wait to be captured. At this moment, what do you have to fight us all?”

Mo Zhen’s expression was ice-cold, and her words were filled with disdain.

In usual times, they only activated their Saint treasures to hamper their rivals but they didn’t mind bringing them out to first get rid of Lin Xun. 

Lin Xun slightly narrowed his black eyes, and then he immediately regained his composure.

Saint treasures?

He had already predicted this scene!

“In the past years, even Saints would struggle to escape this place. Do you guys think you can do what you want here just because you have some treasures in your hands?”

Lin Xun’s voice was not particularly loud, but it was loaded with murderous intent.

“Kill!”

Lin Xun roared and was the first to strike. The endless starlight gathered and condensed in the air, transforming into a bright-as-snow blade that resembled a guillotine of heaven.

Then, it aimed directly at Mo Zhen and slashed downwards.

Rumble!

The sky quaked and the sea roiled. Under the blade, the world was shaken up and the ghosts and demons were scared out of their wits. It was akin to a divine punishment from heaven.

“That kid…can manipulate the forbidden power of the Star Chess Sea?”

Mo Zhen’s countenance changed slightly. The Longevity Palace suddenly erupted with dazzling bronze light and clouds that rapidly took the shape of a majestic shadow. Then, it blasted its mighty fist at the blade. 

Boom!

However, the blade swiftly smashed the fist like a divine punishment from heaven before it split open the body and exploded it into a rain of light. 

The blade continued to slash downwards, striking the Longevity Palace with a deafening crash.

The Longevity Palace swayed and its light shook violently, while Mo Zhen grimaced from the impact. She tottered like she had been struck by lightning. Then, her pretty face paled and blood overflowed her lips. 

“How could it be so terrifying?“ Mo Zhen shrieked. 

The other king-level experts were also aghast. They thought that they could crush Lin Xun like an ant with the Saint treasures in their hands. 

Who would have thought that the supreme forbidden power would be so terrifying? It far exceeded their expectations and caught them off guard. Goosebumps broke out all over their bodies.

“Kill, let’s attack together, kill that bastard!”

They all looked at each other and charged forward.

Mo Zhen’s situation made them realize the terror of the Star Chess Sea. 

Moreover, they had no time to figure out why Lin Xun, a young man at the Cyclic Derivation Stage, was able to manipulate the power of the Star Chess Sea.

Kill!

The Omega Sword produced a clear cry in Zhong Wenyuan’s grip. 

The tip of the sword emitted the wondrous light of Saint Dao as it slashed through the air.  with

Boom!

As the Great Blood Prison Stamp soared into the air, countless phantoms of fiends accumulated and then all slammed down from above. 

Chi!

The Purple Azure Luminous Umbrella spun violently in the air, crushing the nearby space. The purple and azure qi transformed into a dragon and a tiger and roared across the universe.

At the same time, the Suppress Heaven Ruler sprang up and the golden jade disk rushed into the sky...

Within moments, all sorts of Saint treasures were demonstrating their powers across the universe. The spectacle and brilliant beams of light dyed the sea a stunning array of magnificent colors. 

The endless aura of destruction and terror made it feel as though the end of the world was imminent. Other king-level experts would have been killed in an instant!

Even if the king-level experts were unable to display the power of the Saint treasures to its fullest, the power was still unimaginably terrifying!

At the same time, Lin Xun also acted. 

As he stepped forward, the starry light around him amplified and provided him with an endless stream of power as if he was the lord of the stars.

Bathed in the starlight, he felt even his pores were opened up. He grew more and more radiant as if he had perfectly integrated with this starry world.  

Boom!

With a slight movement from Lin Xun, the forbidden power spread outwards in all directions. It was as though a complex and obscure cosmic orbit star array had been activated. 

The Saint treasure powers that were racing towards him to take his life were instantly annihilated!

How is that possible?

The king experts were so horrified that their eyeballs almost popped out.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun took another step forward and appeared in front of Mo Zhen like he had teleported. Folding his fingers to his palm and gathering the supreme power to his hand, he fiercely blasted his fist forward. 

Boom!

It was so bright and dazzling like it was sprinkled with starlight.  

Mo Zhen managed to bring the Longevity Palace to block it, but this treasured weapon of Longevity Land rebounded with a sharp ear-piercing clang. 

Pu!

At the same time, Mo Zhen coughed up blood, her spirit shaking, blood and qi tumbling frantically around her body. She almost collapsed from the unbearable pain. 

And this was all caused by the power of Lin Xun’s punch!
