The Prodigies War

Lin Xun and the others were equally as shocked. They knew the old ape was powerful, but they never had thought he would be that powerful!

He easily neutralized the waves of attacks of a group of Life Death Stage Kings. He had to have long stepped foot into the saint path.

It was utterly silent. Even the fierce Demon Bull King Niu Xiaori wore a solemn expression, studying the old ape.

The most unbelievable thing for the cultivators was that they had seen the old ape strode out of the Deva Secret Realm with Lin Xun earlier.

Such a terrifying existence wasn’t suppressed by the power of the secret realm. Could he be a Monster-Beast Saint?

“One fights for their own opportunities. This is originally a battle between juniors, but you all attacked to vent your hatred and bullied a junior. This is unacceptable.”

The old ape’s calm voice broke the suffocating silence. His voice wasn’t particularly loud, but it stirred the entire audience. It seemed to contain an oppressive power.

Many influential figures’ expressions changed after hearing that. Is he lecturing us?

Granny Sky Kill seethed. “That boy is cruel and vicious. He has committed too many sins and has killed countless members of our clan. Shouldn’t he be punished?” She was so angry that her eyes almost popped out.

“Old woman! Shut up. There are bound to be casualties in a competition for opportunities. Are you the only ones allowed to kill and others are not? This is too ridiculous!” Toady snapped.

“Do you want to die!” Granny Sky Kill was livid.

With a flick of her sleeve, she hurled thousands of clouds at Toady.

“Hmph!” The old ape snorted, scrunching his brows.

Like an explosion of lightning, his voice pulverized the thousands of clouds.

Even Granny Sky Kill felt as though lightning had struck her. Her mind throbbed, and her body tottered violently from side to side until she coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Many people’s eyelids twitched, and their hair stood on end. Is he a saint? Otherwise, how could he possess such terrifying strength?

Toady raged, “Old biddy, you are so shameless! I have never seen someone as despicable as you!”

“You…” Granny Sky Kill gnashed her teeth and quivered with murderous rage.

She was the matriarch of the Dragon Whale Clan, a Life Death Stage King, but she was scolded by an old toad in front of everyone! When had she ever suffered such a great humiliation?

Toady sneered triumphantly. “What? Have you got nothing to say?”

Everyone could tell that Lin Xun and the others only dared to appear because of the old ape’s presence.

“Fellow cultivator, you likely are protecting that boy because you are unaware of his character.” Elder Gao Yang spoke out in a serious tone. “That boy came here with us, but he has killed and wounded his comrades for opportunities. He is heartless and has a cruel nature. Fellow cultivator, think about it and don’t protect him anymore.”

Lin Xun’s heart sank. He never thought that Elder Gao Yang was someone who would distort facts and spread false information.

“Who are you?” The old ape swept a glance over Gao Yang.

“Gao Yang, the thirty-sixth generation successor of Spirit Treasure Holy Land.”

“I don’t know you.” The old ape retracted his gaze and never glanced at him again.

Gao Yang’s expression became the most ashamed he had ever been. In the past, who wouldn’t be extra polite to him once he brought out the name of Spirit Treasure Holy Island?

But now, he was being completely disregarded!

Lin Xun barely managed to stifle a chuckle. The old ape seemed calm and indifferent, but his words were direct and hurtful.

Gao Yang asked through gritted teeth, “Fellow cultivator, do you want to offend all the clans here for that boy?”

All of a sudden, all eyes gathered on the old ape.

“Firstly, I don’t know you so don’t call me a fellow cultivator. Those who follow different paths do not work together.”

The old ape frowned and corrected him, “Secondly, in my opinion, I did not offend you. But the consequences of you offending me will be more serious than me offending you.”

The atmosphere grew more and more deathly still and tense. Everyone realized that the old ape was determined to protect Lin Xun and the others.

Their expressions were all incomparably dark and unpleasant mixed with extreme anger and bitterness.

“As for you so-called influential figures, you are considered nothing. You might be able to bully the younger generations now, but in the future, when the battle of the great age comes, the world is destined to belong to the younger generation. You all…will likely have to pay a price for it sooner or later!”

As the old ape ran his eyes across the influential figures of all clans, their expressions visibly tensed up and they dared not look at him directly.

The old ape ignored them and turned to the door of the Deva Secret Realm behind him. “There’s no time, I must send you away now.”

“Elder wait,” Zhao Jingxuan suddenly spoke up.

She looked at Lin Xun with her clear eyes. “No matter what, I am still a successor of the Spirit Treasure Holy Land, so...”

“You want to return with them?” Lin Xun immediately understood her. “But what if they…” He frowned.

“They won’t dare to. If they want to return to the Ancient Wasteland Domain, they must go through the secret passage through the empire, and that secret passage has always been under the control of my father. No matter how much they hate me, as long as Father is around, they won’t dare to touch me,” Zhao Jingxuan explained.

Lin Xun fell silent for a moment. Zhao Jingxuan had her own reasons and considerations. She didn’t want to betray her teacher and sect. Lin Xun understood that very well, but he was worried that something would happen to her on her way home since everyone had seen that she was associated with him.

“Take this, if you run into danger, it will bring you to safety with a drop of blood.” The old ape handed a jade-green talisman to Zhao Jingxuan.

Lin Xun bowed respectfully. “Thank you Elder.”

“It’s for Miss Zhao. What are you thanking him for? Do you think you are her man?” Toady teased.

Lin Xun slapped the back of his head.

Without any further delay, the old ape flicked his sleeve and the air split to form a space passageway. Then, he picked up Lin Xun and Toady and tossed them in.

“Take care!” the old ape said briefly.

“No—!”

A furious and unwilling roar boomed out from the distance. It turned out to be Granny Sky Kill speeding out from nowhere.

She was about to destroy the space passageway!

She couldn’t let Lin Xun leave safely.

“Hmph!” Her action irritated the old ape. With a cold glint in his eyes, he stretched out his hand and sent heaven and earth quaking.

Granny Sky Kill froze before she exploded in mid-air and rained down as flecks of light. She had instantly died a violent death!

Hiss!

Gasps filled the area and everyone felt chilled to the core.

How can a Life Death Stage King be eliminated like that? It looked as effortless as laughter in a chicken!

Who is the old ape? He’s too terrifying, right?

Even the influential figures of all clans were petrified, their hearts twitching violently. They felt an unprecedented chill.

It finally dawned on them that the old ape was undoubtedly a saint. Otherwise, how would he possess such terrifying abilities?

Buzz~

The space rippled and fluctuated, bringing Lin Xun and Toady away with a muffled rumble.

“Take care.” Zhao Jingxuan dazedly watched them leave with a hint of melancholy in her beautiful eyes and an inexplicable emptiness in her heart.

“Go.” With a wave of his sleeve, the old ape teleported Zhao Jingxuan onto the distant ship where Elder Gao Yang was on.

Then, he put his hands behind his back, turned around, and strode through the entrance of the Deva Secret Realm, vanishing instantly.

From beginning to end, no one dared to stop him.

……

After the old ape left, the entrance to the secret realm also faded.

Calmness was restored to the sky above Return Dominion.

However, all cultivators’ faces were glum, and an intense feeling of bitterness and frustration was rushing up their hearts.

The old ape had terrified and humiliated them with his tremendous powers. They felt so ashamed that they almost couldn’t lift their heads and vomited blood.

Today’s incident was too sensational and likely couldn’t be kept on the down low for too long. Soon, it would sweep the entire Spirit Burial Sea and be known by all living beings.

The demon god youngster had provoked all clans and disregarded the authorities, but he had left unscathed. All clans felt a burning shame at the thought of that.

Undoubtedly, the demon god youngster would become the focus of attention, and none of them would ever be able to forget him!

……

The space passageway was extremely mysterious, marked with the supreme law of space and time. Walking through it was akin to wandering among shifting stars.

However, it did not represent safety. On the contrary, if the old ape hadn’t created it himself, the space-time power that filled the passageway would have torn Lin Xun and Toady apart.

“Quickly run!” Lin Xun and Toady made a mad dash down the passageway.

The space was deep, colorful and distorted. Although it appeared stable, it was filled with many chaotic forces and streaked with many terrifying cracks. They could be crushed if they were too slow.

Suddenly, Lin Xun gasped. He inadvertently noticed a thousand-foot-long corpse in a void outside the passageway, floating among meteors in a turbulent current of airflow.

It was cloaked in torn battle armor and had died for an unknown period.

“Don’t look! It is an ominous image of disaster in the turbulent flow of time and space. According to rumors from ancient times, it is taboo to encounter that kind of thing when traveling across time and space.” Toady nervously led Lin Xun forward, bolting to safety.

According to Toady, the laws of time and space were very mysterious. It was full of unknown, similar to trekking the void of primal chaos.

It was taboo to encounter various ominous scenes, such as mysterious floating corpses, black holes that could swallow everything, remains of immortals, and even heavenly singing voices.

They were all ominous.

Lin Xun couldn’t help from feeling emotional after learning about that. The passageway of time and space spanned across nine heavens and ten lands and was full of unknowns and taboos.

If Lin Xun hadn’t set foot in it, then he could never have imagined that there would be so many strange encounters in it.

No further accidents happened on the way. The passageway formed by the old ape was relatively stable.

Although daunting, they reached the end without encountering any dangers.

Buzz!

Soon, the surrounding space fluctuated and, with a flash, Lin Xun and Toady leapt out of a space node and arrived in the outside world.
