The Prodigies War

“Something’s wrong! Something strange has happened here!”

Zhao Jingxuan abruptly halted, expression dramatically changing.

She sharply sensed a mysterious and sacred restraining power surging in the air around Violet Cloud Sacred Mountain, making it impossible for people to escape.

Navigating the area felt like being stuck in a quagmire. Even someone with remarkable speed and body art would find it impossible to maneuver in the air and have to move forward on foot.

The restriction didn’t exist before Zhao Jingxuan left.

“It’s impossible to travel in the air.”

Lin Xun also noticed the strangeness. The air seemed to be covered with restrictions, suppressing the cultivators’ flying abilities.

“It’s very simple. This world-shattering opportunity will soon appear, and a test for cultivators will also begin.” Toady’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.

“Kill!”

Battle cries resounded in the distance, accompanied by a strong stench of blood.

Cultivators of various clans had gathered at the foot of the Violet Cloud Sacred Mountain, all trying to reach the top of the mountain as quickly as possible. Terrifying conflicts and fierce battles inevitably broke out.

Blood flowed like rivers.

“The opportunity has not yet appeared. Why are they fighting?” Zhao Jingxuan frowned.

“They are fighting for the most favorable position so when the opportunity arises, they can seize the benefits as soon as possible,” Lin Xun stated after observing for a while.

“I remembered that there were forty-nine paths leading to the mountain peak when we set foot on this mountain a few days ago. Every path led to a different location on the mountain peak and the end of each one was an ancient altar,” Zhao Jingxuan explained. “At the time, there weren’t as many people so we successfully occupied an altar on the mountain peak without the need to fight.”

“But now, it seems that the clans that have just arrived are competing for an altar area.”

Understanding dawned on Lin Xun. There were forty-nine mountain paths on Violet Cloud Sacred Mountain, each leading to one of the forty-nine altars on the mountain peak. The layout has to symbolize something important. One needed to first occupy an altar area to seize an opportunity!

“There are fifty great dao and forty-nine evolutions of heaven. There is only a ray of life within it. This is a near-death set-up!”

Toady’s expression altered. “I have a strong feeling that there must be a great opportunity on this mountain, but it will also come with great danger. Only a small group of people can win the opportunity in the end.”

“Come on, let’s go to the ninth mountain road. Xiao Ran, Yun Che and the others are there already. Let’s go and meet them.” Zhao Jingxuan continued onwards after taking a deep breath.

Lin Xun didn’t want to meet those people. After all, Su Xingfeng, Wen Xiang, Xiao Ran, Gong Yangyu and Yun Che were all hostile to him now, and Zhao Jingxuan would only be caught in the middle of a conflict between them.

“Don’t you want to know who the culprit who attempted to assassinate you is? You should take this opportunity to solve the matter,” Zhao Jingxuan added, as though she had read Lin Xun’s mind.

Lin Xun no longer hesitated.

The three cautiously advanced.

Besides them, there were countless cultivators of different clans arriving in the nearby area.

The competition would no doubt worsen as time passed! The battles on the foot of Violet Cloud Sacred Mountain were already incredibly fierce and intense, and battle cries constantly rang out from different areas. Many figures were frantically rushing up the mountain road, but they died only halfway, blood staining the mountain body.

The cultivators of all clans wanted to occupy an altar immediately to compete for the opportunity, so no one held back their strength.

It would no doubt be the craziest showdown before the opportunity arose. The number of cultivators was as many as the number of trees. All of them constantly brought out their treasures and weapons and activated their secret arts and fought with all their strengths.

Lin Xun and the others were also prepared to fight and didn’t dare to let their guard down.

They were caught in a fierce battle before they neared the ninth mountain path.

In truth, battles were unavoidable for anyone.

“Die!”

When the battle erupted, Lin Xun didn’t hold back. Clasping Broken Blade, he forged his way up the mountain path with Zhao Jingxuan and Toady.

There were only the three of them, but they resembled a peerless sharp blade eliminating everyone in its way.

It should be mentioned that Lin Xun had previously single-handedly destroyed the encirclement of a group of Saint-level figures and made them suffer a crushing defeat. He was invincible.

Now, he had Zhao Jingxuan and Toady by his side. How could the other cultivators withstand the combined strength of the three?

“Heavens, it’s the young demon god of the human race! He came too!”

“Run! He’s a vicious killer!”

An uproar erupted. It didn’t take long for them to recognize Lin Xun, so nearby cultivators drew back again and again as though they saw a ghost. They didn’t dare to face Lin Xun head-on.

His fierce reputation had already spread throughout the Deva Secret Realm, so his appearance caused a huge commotion and forced the cultivators to retreat in fear.

What was power?

That was!

However, it made things much easier for Lin Xun and the other two. They made it onto the ninth mountain path without many obstacles.

“I didn’t expect you to be so famous now. As soon as you appeared on the battlefield, everyone was deterred and retreated. You are so powerful now,” Zhao Jingxuan teased.

Lin Xun shrugged. “ But don’t be careless. There will definitely be someone who is not afraid of death jumping out.”

Sure enough, before he finished, a terrifying aura erupted, and a cultivator launched an attack from the side.

“You jinxed it!” Toady fumed.

Lin Xun was at a loss for words. He was just joking, but it actually came true.

Bang!

Zhao Jingxuan summoned the Nine Dragons Cauldron to neutralize the terrifying blow.

“Yu Xiaosheng!”

Only then did Lin Xun realize that the attacker was Yu Xiaosheng, the Saint of the Dragon Whale Clan. “Did you come here to die!?”

Lin Xun’s face darkened and Broken Blade flashed out of his hand, speeding towards the opponent.

A few days ago, Lin Xun defeated Yu Xiaosheng and almost killed him. He never thought that he would have the courage to appear before him again.

But soon, he realized that Yu Xiaosheng had found helpers.

The Saint of the Demon Elephant Clan, the Saintess of the Dark Wood Clan, the Saint of the Jade Qilin Clan and the Saint of the Water Ape Clan were all there! In addition to those familiar enemies, there were also other men and women with extraordinary auras. It was no wonder that Yu Xiaosheng dared to show up. He had recruited a group of extremely powerful people!

Rumble!

A battle broke out right away.

Yu Xiaosheng led the group of Saint-level figures to attack with all their strength. They each brought out all kinds of secret treasures and performed mysterious cultivation arts. Light beamed across the space, and terrifying power filled every corner.

Within seconds, Toady couldn’t withstand the attacks any longer. He howled and constantly evaded the attacks.

Zhao Jingxuan was also struggling. She was only barely able to fend off the attacks with the Nine Dragons Cauldron and was unable to counterattack at all.

“You guys go ahead first!”

Lin Xun was completely enraged. He allowed Yu Xiaosheng and the Saint of the Demon Elephant clan to escape last time, but they again joined hands to attack him. How could he tolerate that?

He stood alone in front of the mountain road, blazing brilliance mixed with Dao Ripple surging around his body. He was oozing with contempt and superiority as though he could hold back all the enemy forces by himself.

Boom!

Broken Blade soared into the sky, slashing out a streak of starry river-like light. As it swept across the air, dazzling divine light bloomed and spread in the sky. He was going to fight a group of Saint-level figures alone!

The nearby cultivators cast fearful glances at the shocking scene. The young demon god is too fierce and arrogant. Does he think he can deal with a group of top figures by himself?

“You want to die!”

“Everyone, let’s kill him together and then take the treasures on him. Don’t you all want to know how he possesses such heaven-defying strength? It’s because he obtained heaven-defying opportunities from the Five Elements Holy Island!” Yu Xiaosheng roared.

He told everyone the reason Lin Xun became so strong was due to the opportunities he got from the Five Elements Holy Island. His motive was extremely sinister.

As expected, the Saint-level figures’ eyes reddened with jealousy. They frantically launched another wave of attack, causing the mountain to quake and divine lights to wreak havoc.

Fortunately, they were on Violet Cloud Sacred Mountain, a mysterious forbidden place that couldn’t be destroyed. Otherwise, the impact of the battle alone could wipe out a city!

“I’m going to kill you first!” Lin Xun thundered, violent qi raging around him.

Like a Hornless Ice Dragon, he broke through the attacks of the group of Saints, charging straight for Yu Xiaosheng.

Yu Xiaosheng panicked and immediately dodged to the other side. How could he have known that Lin Xun would be so powerful despite being encircled?

Swoosh!

With a wave of his sleeve, Lin Xun launched a streak of black light. It not only aimed at Yu Xiaosheng, but also at the Saints and Saintesses nearby.

Naturally, the streak of black light was transformed from God Devourer Insects!

Regardless of how talented Yu Xiaosheng and the others were, the insects caught them off guard and tunneled into their Mind-Sea.

Yu Xiaosheng and other Saints screamed, faces contorting from the agonizing pain.

The other Saints were chilled to the bone. What the hell is that? Why is it so mysterious and vicious?

“Ah—” Yu Xiaosheng shrieked.

Sensing the danger, he turned around and tried to escape.

“Do you want to run?!”

Lin Xun roared and sped forward with the Hornless Ice Dragon Step.

Pu!

With a glint of light from Broken Blade, a head hurled into the air and blood gushed like a spring. Yu Xiaosheng was killed on the spot!

The most terrifying thing was that, just as the Life Soul Bone Talisman encased a wisp of his spirit and was about to teleport it away, the spirit crumbled. A jet-black insect that was only the size of a grain had devoured it in seconds!
