The Prodigies War

A quarter of an hour usually passed in the snap of a finger.

But now, it felt torturously long for Lin Xun and the other two.

A total of thirteen Life Death Stage Kings had been dispatched at the same time, and they were all launching their ultimate moves to intercept and kill them.

It was hard to imagine their feeling of despair and horror.

Toady, who had been screaming in fury, was now surprisingly quiet. His face had become glum and grave, and his eyes were filled with endless worry and hatred.

Their situation was riddled with danger like they were wandering on the line between life and death. They could be doomed forever with the slightest carelessness.

Lin Xun was also very quiet, but his dark eyes were terrifying and unfathomable like a bottomless abyss.

He might be able to subdue all enemies in the Heaven Ascension Stage, but, when facing Life Death Stage Kings, he was still too weak!

The feeling of powerlessness made Lin Xun thirst for greater power for the first time in his life.

Yes, greater power!

……

Although Ahu still maintained a calm outward appearance, her beautiful pale face, her quivering body, and the beads of sweat dripping from her forehead exposed that she was on the verge of reaching her limits.

A quarter of an hour.

It felt the longest and most tormenting time to her. It was as though she was struggling in front of the gate of hell, unable to predict when death would come.

Lin Xun wanted to ask several times why she would help them even when she knew there would be such a deadly tribulation.

But in the end, he held himself back.

It wasn’t the best time to talk about it as it would distract her, which in turn would put their lives at risk.

However, Lin Xun already knew that he owed her a lot, regardless of her reason for helping them.

Boom!

Earthshaking collisions constantly reverberated, stirring the wind and clouds. Many creatures couldn’t help but shudder as they watched countless reefs and islands getting crushed beyond recognition.

It was unknown how many innocent lives were taken in the deadly tribulation.

However, the Life Death Stage Kings turned a blind eye to everything.

Only the Grand Universe Ark was in their eyes.

It contained the great fortune and treasures that they longed for. No one could bear to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, to their surprise, the Grand Universe Ark was like a streak of light. It wasn’t only mysteriously fast like it had teleported, but its movements were also erratic. It was able to safely escape every time despite their repeated attempts at intercepting it!

Besides being astonished, their faces darkened.

It was just a boat carrying a few worthless little guys. They would be ashamed to death if they allowed it to escape from under their nose.

Moreover, they would become the greatest laughing stock if it spread back to the Southern Sea.

Chase!

Every one of them was infuriated and attacked with full strength.

……

In the end, Ahu failed to persist for a quarter of an hour. A muffled grunt came from her throat, and a streak of bright red blood overflowed the corners of her already pale lips.

Her brows were furrowed with unconcealable exhaustion.

It’s so close…

Did we fail at the last hurdle?

A deep sense of powerlessness flooded her heart. She had already tried her best and pushed her strength to the extreme limit.

“Tell me how to control the ark.” Lin Xun’s voice suddenly sounded in her ears, startling her.

She turned around and saw Lin Xun’s calm and reassuring black eyes.

She subconsciously decided to trust him. “Okay!”

Lin Xun stepped forward and drew a deep breath, his expression turning utmost calm and focused. It was like the sea floor, motionless even under the erosion of strong currents.

Toady was very worried at first and wanted to check if Lin Xun indeed had the confidence in driving the ark, but he held back in the end.

Ahu clearly couldn’t withstand the impact any longer and their situation was perilous, so he had no other choice.

However, to their surprise, Lin Xun quickly grasped the art to control the boat and steered it with incredible skill and precision!

Under his control, the Grand Universe Ark escaped many calamities and avoided many deadly attacks again and again. The way he controlled the ark was in no way inferior to Ahu’s. It was hard to tell that it was his first time steering the Grand Universe Ark.

Very quickly, perhaps it was because he became more and more familiar with the controlling art, his movements became more and more precise and skillful.

Toady’s eyes went wide. He’s so abnormal.

Ahu was just as stunned. Her clear eyes were fixed intently on the handsome face of the young man beside him, sparkling with admiration for a rare moment.

They didn’t know that Lin Xun had already been secretly observing and learning along the way, and he had already memorized Ahu’s skills in his mind.

Additionally, he had been engraving runes since a young age. and he was a qualified rune founder. Naturally, manipulating a treasure with rune arrays was, of course, not a problem for him.

Moreover, given his superb knowledge and understanding in rune arrays, he was able to bring out the ark’s greatest power while controlling it.

Ahu couldn’t be compared to him.

“Huh? How could that be?”

“Damn it, how could the Grand Universe Ark be so incredibly strong? Isn’t it supposed to be a damaged ancient treasure?”

“Damn it! If I find out who is controlling the treasure to help that little bastard, then I will crush them to ashes!”

The Life Death Stage Kings immediately noticed the changes with the ark and their faces turned even darker.

They were a group of Life Death Stage Kings, yet they could do nothing about an ancient piece of treasure. How could they not be embarrassed and furious?

“It doesn’t look good, the Dao Burial Sea Mound seems to be right ahead!”

Suddenly, a feeling of fear gripped many Life Death Stage Kings. From what they knew, the sea area thousands of miles away was part of the Dao Burial Sea Mound.

A place of extreme danger!

It was a battlefield in ancient times, where countless powerful beings had fallen. After surviving so many years, it had become a peculiar and ominous place. It was almost a forbidden place as it was riddled with unimaginable dangers.

Even Life Death Stage Kings didn’t dare to rashly venture into there!

The black-robed old man of the Scarlet Bird Clan roared, “Quickly, stop them! We can’t let them run in there!”

Rumble!

Chaos suddenly swept the area as dozens of Life Death Stage Kings simultaneously attacked with all their strength. They no longer had any reservations. They did everything they could to stop the Grand Universe Ark.

That moment was undoubtedly the most dangerous and terrifying.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was unprecedentedly calm. His mind was as clear as ice as he mobilized all his power to manipulate the ark.

He accurately captured his enemies’ movements and manipulated the ark to dodge the attacks with incredible speed.

Occasionally, he seemed to be encircled and trapped, but he somehow found a ray of opportunity in that desperate situation and narrowly escaped the predicament.

The near-death situation made Toady and Ahu break out in cold sweat, and their hearts leapt out of their chests.

“That...is that the Dao Burial Sea Mound!?” Toady screamed as a gray, misty sea area came into his view.

There, the sky was as dark as eternal night, the sea was pitch-black, and rolling sheets of sea mist were vaporizing. The mysterious and eerie atmosphere was spine-chilling.

Toady had been living there when he had awakened his consciousness, so how would he not recognize it?

As soon as his voice faded, the Grand Universe Ark pierced the vast mist with a swoosh.

Almost at the same time, the waves of attacks of the Life Death Stage Kings bombarded the sea area and exploded it into nothingness.

So close!

Lin Xun and the others almost faced death!

With a glimmer of hope, they rushed into the sea area of the Dao Burial Sea Mound.

“Stop, we don’t need to run anymore. It’s time for us to watch a good show!” Ahu suddenly said aloud. Her pretty eyes were pierced with hatred.

“Watch a show? Are you still in the mood to watch it? This is the Dao Burial Sea Mound. It is more terrifying than those Life Death Stage Kings!” Toady stamped his feet. He had hung out in that area in the past, so how would he not know about its dangers?

He had only managed to escape the hell-like place after much difficulty.

Who would have thought that he would return? His mood was the worst it could be.

Ahu giggled and didn’t try to explain. “Just trust me, don’t you want to see those old bastards suffer?”

Toady was tempted right away.

However, Lin Xun looked at Ahu ruminatively before he finally agreed and steered the Grand Universe Ark to a stop in the dense mist.

A good show?

What kind of good show will it be?

They simultaneously peered in the direction that they had fled from.

……

“Argh!”

“They ran into there!”

Furious roars tinged with bitterness resounded from the areas around the Dao Burial Sea Mound one after another, shaking the surroundings like rolling thunder.

Life Death Stage Kings arrived one after another, but they were all hesitant to step in.

“What should we do? The place is riddled with dangers. We might encounter deadly calamities if we step inside without authorization!”

“What else can we do? Go in! The little bastard’s treasures are related to the ancient saint path! How can we miss out on such a good opportunity?” someone sneered, acting tough but he also didn’t take immediate action.

Clearly, despite his sonorous words, his heart was filled with fear.

That was the terror of the Dao Burial Sea Mound. It could instill fear into even Life Death Stage Kings.

“If you guys won’t go then I will!” The old man of the Scarlet Bird Clan stepped forward and vanished into the vast gray mist.

The rest of the Life Death Stage Kings fidgeted restlessly, eyes flickering.

Soon, another six gritted their teeth and rushed in.

The others thought longer about it, but gave up reluctantly in the end.

It wasn’t that they were cowardly. Instead, they deeply understood the terror of the Dao Burial Sea Mound. They might not have the chance to come back out if they entered.

Even so, they did not choose to leave and waited outside, unwilling to give up.

The moment a slim chance appeared, they wouldn’t hesitate to act!
