The Prodigies War

“Little bastard, do you want to die?!” Gou Yangxiu’s eyes almost cracked from anger. He was so furious that a malevolent aura erupted from him and suffused the area. 

He was a king. He was less than a foot away from Gou Yanzhen when he was killed. 

But even so, he failed to stop it from that distance. 

Gou Yanzhen was a supreme figure of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan, possessing the potential of a Little Giant. He was believed to be able to seize the opportunity to become an absolute apex king when the great age came.

But now, both his body and spirit were obliterated, and not even the ashes of his bone were left. 

Gou Yangxiu was filled with rage. 

Boom!

Without any hesitation, he rushed into the sky, his eyes glowing red with murderous intent and his body covered with raging dao light. His bearing instantly turned frightening. 

In the blink of an eye, as though he teleported, he was already at the Star Chess Sea and aiming a mighty palm strike at Lin Xun. 

An enraged king-level expert was no doubt terrifying.

The other experts gasped at the sight. That old dog is really angry otherwise he wouldn’t have activated his ultimate killing move right away!

However, before the palm struck, a dazzling snow-white blade flashed in the sky like it was crafted from magnificent starlight. 

Bang!

As the palm and the blade collided, the world felt like it was rocked by a disastrous disaster, especially with the ghost-like wails and wolves-like howl constantly ringing out. 

The nearby sea area split open, blinding dao light roamed turbulently, and indescribable shock waves swept out, distorting and smashing the space as if to wipe out everything. 

However, a scene petrified everyone. 

Only Lin Xun, who was at the Cyclic Derivation, was unscathed. On the other hand, Gou Yangxiu, a Life Death Stage King who had stepped into the Longevity Stage, had his right arm severed off, half of his body badly mangled and blood gushing from him like a waterfall.

“That’s not your power!” Gou Yangxiu screamed, his anger turning into fear and panic. 

His opponent had seriously wounded him with just one blow. Who would believe that?

A deadly aura made Gou Yangxiu spin around and bolt without hesitation.

Pu!

In the air, Lin Xun balled his hand into a fist and slammed it forward. The punch was as eye-catching as the starlight shining upon the earth as it instantly enveloped Gou Yangxiu’s figure. Then, an explosion quickly followed. 

Blood rained down.

Under the aghast gazes of the crowd, Gou Yangxiu, a king known for his terrifying combat power, was blasted to smithereens with one punch!

Everyone stood in stunned silence.  

Gou Yanzhen’s death took them by surprise and struck them dumb. 

But Gou Yangxiu’s death was like a thunderbolt numbing everyone’s scalp and sending chills down their backs. Even their spirits trembled!

“How is that possible? How could he...how could he kill a king so effortlessly?”

Yu Lingkong, Li Qingping, Kong Ling and the others turned ashen-faced, fighting to keep calm. 

They had been waiting to kill Lin Xun and eliminate the great hidden danger and enemy. 

Who would have ever thought that their seemingly advantageous situation would be reversed?

Gou Yangxiu was a Life Death Stage King!

How could he be killed in the blink of an eye?

Besides them, the old monsters of other ancient sects were also staring ahead with horrified disbelief and their eyes almost bulged out from their sockets. 

“Impossible!”

Li Qingping thundered, losing control of his emotions. He couldn’t accept the truth. 

Pu!

In the distance, Lin Xun lifted one finger and rays of starlight condensed into one before it beamed down. After that, Li Qingping’s body violently exploded, and he died on the spot!

Suddenly, everyone went crazy.

Lin Xun seemed to have become another person—a ruler who controlled life and death. With a sweep of his hand, he could take the life of anyone! 

 

“Why? Why is that?” Kong Ling shrieked, her pretty deathly pale and skewed with disbelief.

The nightmare-like scene happened so fast that anyone would lose their mind.

“Quickly run!”

Ma Yuanqing’s expression dramatically changed, and then with a wave of his sleeves, he led Kong Ling and other young disciples to flee towards the Mysterious Ice Frost Plains. 

He could tell that Lin Xun’s new terrifying strength originated from the supreme forbidden power of the Star Chess Sea and did not belong to himself!

“Run!”

“Quickly get out of here!”

“That kid is using the forbidden power of Star Chess Sea! On this side of the world, he is invincible and no one can be his opponent!”

At the same time, other old monsters also realized the truth and all unwaveringly chose to retreat from the Star Chess Sea!

Even if some were still unaware of the fact that Lin Xun borrowed the forbidden power from the Star Chess Sea, they knew they had to run!

This was no doubt a frustrating choice for them. 

They had been waiting for some time and had dispatched so many people, including king-level experts! They all regarded Lin Xun as their prey and it never crossed their minds that they would fail to kill him, but only who would be the first to do so!

Who would have thought that the situation would change so suddenly?!

The prey was no longer the prey but became an invincible ruler. He killed kings with ease like slaughtering chickens. Who would have predicted that would happen?!

Naturally, Lin Xun wouldn’t watch the enemies escape and do nothing.

As soon as they chose to flee, he had already launched an attack!

Rumble!

The calm and still Star Chess Sea suddenly rolled turbulently, spewing out mist-like starlight, while endless dazzling stars emerged in the sky. 

Bathed in the magnificent light, Lin Xun looked like the master of all stars!  

His black eyes were cold and unfathomable as he activated the forbidden power of the Zhoutian Star Dipper Array to its fullest. 

Rays of starlight rushed across the void like streaks of divine rainbow void trying to obscure the sky and earth before they condensed into forms of blades, swords, spears, and halberds and shot in every direction. 

Pu Pu Pu!

Immediately, one cultivator was eliminated after another. They might have fled very quickly, but how could they be faster than such a supreme killing move?

Blood rained down. 

Screams echoed endlessly.

The world became a purgatory. 

The cultivators from Omega Sword Sect, Heaven Axis Holy Land, Spirit Treasure Holy Land, Azure Sea Sect, Longevity Land, Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan and other ancient sects and clans were as distressed as stray dogs. At the same time, anger and panic were bubbling within them!

At every moment, powerful experts collapsed and died on the spot with both their spirits and bodies destroyed. 

Even the lives of old monsters at the king stage were harvested like stars. Despite them fighting back with all their strength, they could not slow, let alone stop the killings at all. 

This scene was undoubtedly terrifying!

The area around the shore had become a scene of carnage. Tragic screams, anguished howls, and furious roars reverberated between the heavens and earth. 

Kong Ling was killed, even with Ma Yuanqing’s protection. Before her death, she still couldn’t believe that she would die here.

She held a Golden Cicada Talisman that could have helped her escape, unfortunately, she was not fast enough. 

Yu Lingkong narrowly escaped when Shang Wenjin blocked the killing attack, but Shang Wenjin exchanged his life for that and died on the spot!

Similar bloody scenes happened in every corner. 

It sounded slow, but everything happened within a few breaths.

In the end, the major sects and clans all lost more than half of their people and only some managed to luckily escape into the vast Mysterious Ice Frost Plains. 

No one dared to turn back around!

In the distance, Lin Xun retracted his hand. 

Disappointment mixed with bitter acceptance flashed in his eyes, but he knew that the power of the Star Chess Sea was limited to this world and would not accompany him to hunt down the enemies.  

Otherwise, not a single one of those ancient sect experts would survive!

On the shore, the ground was split with huge cracks and covered with pools of striking red blood. It was a scene of utter devastation everywhere. The sickening odor of blood was so strong that it lingered in the air.

The battle could only be described as a massacre. The ancient sects and clans had suffered heavy casualties. They not only lost geniuses of the younger generation but also several king-level experts!

A gust of sea breeze blew by while Lin Xun quietly pondered for a moment. He did not take the opportunity to leave but returned to the depths of the Star Chess Sea.

The billowing misty starlight permeated the world of the Star Chess Sea like before, restoring the mysterious and chilling forbidden place. 

Lin Xun knew well that although he had massacred enemies to his heart’s content, the matter would no doubt trigger a storm that would sweep the Ancient Wasteland Domain!

The ancient sects and clans would not leave the matter at that after suffering such heavy losses!

If Lin Xun left Star Chess Sea, he would have to face the unimaginably giant storm that was waiting for him. 

Therefore, he planned to lay low in the Star Chess Sea for some time. 

Under the protection of the Zhoutian Star Dipper Array, Lin Xun was confident that not even a Saint could touch him. 

……

Lin Xun landed on an isolated island and sat cross-legged on a jagged boulder.

“According to the prediction of the woman in the Omega Secret Realm, there is one year until the great age comes.

“At that time, the Genius Gold Rankings would appear in the world.

“But, before that happens, there will be the Four World Star Ranking Competition, where the top ten will receive the title of absolute apex giant!”

He took a deep breath and fell into a meditative state, contemplating his future cultivation path.  

“Yan Zhanqiu, Wang Xuanyu, Mi Hengzhen and Ye Mohe and other geniuses of the older generation are considered veteran absolute apex giants. They are no doubt incredibly strong and possibly around the same level as I am currently.

“But if I want to outshine them, suppress those older generations of absolute apex giants…it would be hard.”

Lin Xun didn’t realize that after the Little Giants Competition and after a year of training in the Immortal Secret Realm, his vision had surpassed those of his peers. 

In his heart, only Yan Zhanqiu, Wang Xuanyu, Mi Hengzhen and other veteran absolute apex giants were worth his attention.

Of course, that included Yun Qingbai!

In his opinion, Yun Qingbai was absolutely stronger than Yan Zhanqiu and the others!

“I still haven’t comprehended the secret of immortality yet…

“I also haven’t fully mastered the Heavenly Yuan Six Slashes…

“If I want to further raise the power of the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations, I will have to make a breakthrough on the True Dragon Grand Dao…”

After a long period of deep thought, Lin Xun had a clear direction of what to focus on. 

He had decided to further improve his strength in this world to avoid any disturbances. 

For a long moment, Lin Xun was as motionless as a statue as he sank into a deep state of cultivation on the boulder. 

In the distance, the fog of starlight enveloped the world. 

Just as Lin Xun predicted, on the same day, the news of the bloodshed on Star Chess Sea caused a sensation as it spread.  

Moreover, it spread at a frightening speed like wildfire, rapidly reaching the other three worlds of the Ancient Wasteland Domain…
