The Prodigies War

Swoosh!

A shining silvery boat covered with ancient diagrams and shaped like a pointy shuttle ripped through the sky in a straight trajectory, speeding past hundreds of miles in a flash.

Only when it vanished from someone’s sight would that person hear a sharp whistle pierce the air, spreading across the sky and crushing the clouds into thread-like fluff.

It was so fast that it was impossible to capture its movements.

It was almost like teleportation.

“This is the Grand Universe Ark, an important weapon of the Thousand Streams Sect in ancient times. It was constructed by Saints who used void crystals from outside the domain. There are thirteen thousand and nine hundred diagram arrays across its body. Once activated, it can travel thousands of miles in the blink of an eye. It’s almost the same as true teleportation art.” Ahu’s clear and sweet voice rang from the boat.

She was dressed in a light yellow dress with her hair loose and framing her pretty, fair face. Standing at the front of the cabin, she looked ethereal with her graceful and slender figure.

“Unfortunately, this treasure has been through countless years of corrosion to survive to this time. Almost all the diagram arrays on it have been destroyed and faded and lost their powers. Now, only fewer than three thousand diagram arrays on it can be activated,” Ahu sighed regretfully.

Lin Xun and Toady stared at her in puzzlement. They never thought that Ahu would know so much about the treasure, including its origin and powers, so they found it very unusual.

“Of course, even if this treasure is damaged, no other treasure in the world can match its superb speed.” As Ahu raised her eyes, a smile spread across her stunning face. “Most importantly, its defense is incredibly strong, able to neutralize many natural disasters as we cross the Spirit Burial Sea.”

Toady snorted, “No matter how powerful it is, can it block the attack of Life Death Stage Kings?”

He had always been prejudiced against Ahu, believing that she would bring disaster. Although she was breathtakingly beautiful, she was no doubt a demon girl.

“Of course not.”

Ahu didn’t mind his question and answered with a smile, “However, this treasure can avoid the attacks of Life Death Stage Kings.”

Her words shocked Toady and left him speechless.

The treasure could be said to defy the heavens if it could avoid the blows of Life Death Stage Kings. It would be considered a supreme treasure weapon for escaping!

“It’s still so amazing in a damaged state. I can’t help but wonder how incredible it will be in its complete form…” Lin Xun’s dark eyes lit up with surprise.

He was a rune founder so he, naturally, was drawn to all the ancient arrays throughout the ark the moment he stepped onto it. He could, of course, tell that the majority of arrays had faded and lost their former power. But even so, he was amazed by the traces of the great dao contained in each of the ancient mysterious arrays.

“The treasure is refined by a Saint. How would it not be extraordinary in its undamaged state?” Ahu explained with a smile.

It dawned on Lin Xun that the runes contained in the ancient arrays were not particularly obscure and what was really impressive were the great dao traces within the diagram arrays!

It was the power left by a Saint, something that current Lin Xun couldn't understand or comprehend.

“Miss Ahu, are you going to the Ziyao Empire too?” Lin Xun suddenly asked.

Even though he had agreed to travel with Ahu, he still hadn’t seen through the woman’s true motives.

Ahu smiled slightly, her clear eyes glistening. “Young Master, once we’re safe, I will tell you everything.”

“Hmph! She’s so secretive. She must be hiding something.” Toady found Ahu more and more irritating. He felt that the woman was too scheming.

Boom!

At that moment, a sudden change happened.

A wave of invisible power swept down from the sky and enveloped the world. The air was crushed with a terrifying rumble.

The Grand Universe Ark violently swayed, buzzed, and shook under the terrifying impact.

Lin Xun and Toady shuddered at the same time, their faces turning pale. What terrifying power!

“Young Master, the deadly tribulation is here!” Ahu tucked her hair behind her ears, while her stunning face became serious and solemn.

She steered the Grand Universe Ark and began to dodge the attack.

The countless ancient rune arrays glowed brightly, illuminating the surroundings of the ark. The ark instantly gained speed!

The treasure flickered endlessly in the air like a stream of flowing light before it flashed away from the wave of terrifying power.

At the same time, Lin Xun and Toady noticed a mighty figure in the distance. Its aura surged into the sky and shook the mountains and valleys. It was as though a true master had descended upon the world!

It was a middle-aged man in a purple robe with an ink-black beard and hair. As he opened and closed his eyes, there seemed to be the sun, moon and stars rising and falling within them, releasing immeasurable power.

Unquestionable, he was a Life Death Stage King!

The blow just now was launched by a purple-robed middle-aged man.

“I have seen him at the treasure auction. He is the patriarch of the Scarlet Bird Clan. This means that they are indeed coming for us!” Toady’s face blanched.

Who wouldn’t panic under the pursuit of a Life Death Stage King?

They didn’t have the help of the mysterious old ape this time. Could the treasure ark save them from the deadly tribulation?

Toady wasn’t confident in it.

A thunderous voice shook the clouds, “Little bastard, you have killed many successors of various clans in the Southern Sea, so how can we just let you run away so easily?! You will have to stay!”

A tall, black-robed old man aimed a palm strike at the Grand Universe Ark. His eyes glowed a purple shade, amplifying the imposing aura he was surrounded with.

“This isn’t good! Here comes another one!” Toady screamed, face turning grave.

Chi!

The area was instantly plunged into chaos. Unexpectedly, under Ahu’s control, the Grand Universe Ark slipped away from the giant hand of the black-robed old man and disappeared.

“Huh?” The black-robed man’s face darkened, not expecting the ark to be so incredible.

But he had no time to think about it. He continued to chase after the ark and dared not to waste any time.

He wasn’t the only one who had been dispatched. A dozen of Life Death Stage Kings were right behind him and catching up with incredible speed.

The black-robed old man couldn’t tolerate other people touching his prey.

……

The hunting began!

In the cabin, Toady’s countenance changed crazily as he screamed again and again. He couldn’t calm down. So far, they had come across four Life Death Stage Kings!

Moreover, that number was still increasing!

“Damn it, aren’t those old monsters so shameless? I have never seen people so despicable!” Toady flushed with anger. A group of old monsters who had lived for countless years were joining forces to get rid of a junior. Were they not afraid of being ridiculed?

A beautiful woman in plain clothes suddenly said aloud, “Little friend, my clan has no enmity with you. If you give me the treasures you have, I will immediately turn around and leave. What do you say?”

Her voice and appearance were warm and graceful. But her actions were incomparably ruthless. She launched a giant flaming net into the sky in the direction of the ark.

It was no doubt a great killing weapon and an inescapable net.

Even Ahu’s expression turned grave and a bead of sweat trickled down her smooth forehead. Then, a misty glow radiated from her slender and elegant figure.

She was operating the Grand Universe Ark with all her strength.

Lin Xun stood silently on one side, keeping an eye on the battlefield while observing Ahu steer the ark with incredible precision.

A treasure such as the Grand Universe Ark required a huge number of high-grade aeth crystals for it to activate and operate, but it also needed unique secret techniques to control it.

“It’s the ninth one! Damn it, those damned old bastards! When I rise, I am going to kill them all!” Toady was still roaring on the ark.

Anyone else would likely be panicking. They were facing a group of Life Death Stage Kings!

Such beings stood at the pinnacle of the world. They were authority figures of the cultivation world and could pulverize mountains, flatten cities and summon rain with a wave of their hands.

Now, such a group of terrifying old monsters had appeared at the same time. The scene could shake the entire world.

The airflow had turned chaotic, the sky was constantly roaring, and the sea was raging with thousand feet waves. Some living beings were instantly killed on the spot along the way without any chance to flee, staining the sapphire sea a blood-red shade.

The Grand Universe Ark resembled a blade of leaf in a vast ocean. They were in a very perilous situation, constantly under terrifying attacks from all directions!

Even Lin Xun had tensed up along the way.

“When I reach the Life Death Stage, I will come here again for payback!”

Lin Xun rarely showed his anger, but now, he was truly enraged.

Ever since he entered the Deva Secret Realm until now, he had been hunted down by many different sects and clans. Now, even the old monsters had shamelessly participated in the hunting.

No matter how good-tempered he was, he couldn’t stop his murderous intent from being ignited.

He gritted his teeth with hatred. They have gone too far!

“When you step into the Life Death Stage King stage—I don’t know when that will be. But I suggest you kill their clansmen when you encounter any in the future. That kind of revenge would bring them bone-deep pain,” Ahu suddenly suggested.

“What a cruel woman!” That was Toady’s initial reaction, but he soon had to admit that it was a very good suggestion.

“I will remember to do so.” Lin Xun’s black eyes were cold and calm.

“Endure for another quarter of an hour and we’ll be out of trouble!” Ahu’s clear eyes lit up and her red lips curled upwards like she had noticed something.
