The Prodigies War

Chapter 1007 Aspiration

Chapter 1007 Aspiration

The dusky darkness of twilight descended.

Lin Xun stopped outside the city and looked back. Roughly half of the huge North Light City had been destroyed and turned into ruins.

The power of a Saint treasure was too terrifying. Moreover, Lin Xun knew full well that the Nameless Pagoda could only exert 0.0001% of its power in his hands.

Despite this, the power it could display was still earth-shaking.

Under the dusky sky, the evening breeze was mixed with the smell of smoke and blood.

Little Silver returned. His usually proud head was slightly lowered as if a little depressed as he reported, "Master, two of them escaped."

Lin Xun was slightly taken aback and said, "That's okay."

"But it’s shameful to me!" Disappointment appeared on Little Silver's handsome face as he clenched his fists and said, "I won't let this happen again in the future!"

With these words, he turned into a flash of silver and returned to the mind-sea.

He was extremely arrogant and viewed dignity as important as his life. Hence, his expectations toward himself were higher than Lin Xun’s.

Upon seeing Little Silver’s angry state, Lin Xun couldn't help but worry. He didn’t know whether it was good or bad for Little Silver to maintain such a mindset to cultivate.

Lin Xun took a deep breath and decided not to dwell upon it. As his gaze swept over the ruins of the city, he made a certain aspiration in his heart.

"If I one day ascend above the dao, I will bestow great luck to this place to bless the innocent souls here and protect the peace of all future generations!"

As soon as this aspiration was made, Lin Xun suddenly had a peculiar feeling. The guilt in his heart was expelled by a pure, determined power, becoming clear, resolute, and free.

"This might be a sliver of the mysterious wishpower. It is rumored that the Saint experts who set foot on the Saint path need to establish a grand aspiration of the dao. Only by doing so will they be able to forge an immortal and indestructible Divine Dao Fruit..."

Lin Xun deeply pondered.

Outside the city, numerous cultivators were hiding far away while watching Lin Xun.

An earth-shaking battle had broken out earlier where several Heaven Axis Holy Land core disciples were subdued while the rest of the disciples were almost annihilated. It was a result that would inevitably cause a huge uproar.

These cultivators had witnessed it all, and their minds were still in a state of upheaval and unable to calm down. It was easy to imagine how this news would be akin to dropping a bomb and would shake the entire Ancient Blue Province.

Moreover, it was impossible to suppress or conceal. After all, there were too many witnesses and even North Light City was half destroyed.

Several days ago, Heaven Axis Holy Land launched a pursuit operation targeting Demon God Lin. However, their forces were now mostly defeated or wiped out which was a huge slap to their faces!

Although Demon God Lin looked rather dashing from afar, everyone could only see him as a demon god.

He was truly a young demon god who boasted overwhelming strength!

However, they also wondered whether he would be able to stay alive after Heaven Axis Holy Land found out the news.

Heaven Axis Holy Land an ancient orthodoxy with a great reputation in the East Victory World. If Lin Xun provoked them, there would be no place that would take him no matter how big the world was.

"Have you guys watched enough?" Lin Xun turned around, and his deep black eyes swept over the cultivators.

Many cultivators immediately shivered and quickly departed.

However, there were also many cultivators who didn’t move. Although North Light City wasn’t that big, it still had several powerful experts from the older generation. They had watched the earlier battle and some of them had become interested in Lin Xun's pagoda.

After all, it was a Saint treasure!

It was impossible for anyone not to be tempted by it. However, no one dared to make any rash moves. They had also witnessed Lin Xun's combat power and were somewhat wary of him.

Lin Xun ignored them and flew away.

Trapped in the Nameless Pagoda were the four core disciples of Heaven Axis Holy Land: Ling Hongjin, Xue Qianhen, Zhang Zheng, and Yu Baobao.

He didn’t kill them because he still had other uses for them.

"Foolish death seekers..." Lin Xun suddenly noticed several cultivators following him, which made him feel a murderous impulse.

Lin Xun stopped, turned around, and asked, "Are you guys worried that Heaven Axis Holy Land will retaliate against me and decided to join me to fight against Heaven Axis Holy Land together?"

Many cultivators’ expressions changed after hearing that. They naturally didn’t wish to be implicated and viewed as Demon God Lin’s companions by Heaven Axis Holy Land.

Some cultivators immediately hesitated and ultimately decided to withdraw. Although the Saint treasure was tempting, they needed to be alive to enjoy it.

There were also confident cultivators who didn’t give up and continued following Lin Xun.

Saint treasures were rare and almost impossible to come across. Even a Saint expert would try to vie for one, let alone the likes of them.

However, they didn’t immediately take action. Instead, they used secret methods to call their friends, intending to gather a strong enough force to attack Lin Xun.

At the sight of this, Lin Xun threw away his hesitation, turned around, and summoned the Broken Blade.

Lin Xun had not used the Broken Blade in the previous battles against Xue Qianhen and the others. Hence, none of the cultivators realized that it was his best killing method.

Several cultivators at the front were immediately slain. Blood rained from the sky, accompanied by screams that would make anyone’s hair stand on end.

"People die for wealth and birds die for food. I advise everyone to consider whether this is worth it." With that, Lin Xun turned around and left.

"What ruthlessness!"

"Sigh, that was a Saint treasure..."

"C’mon, let’s go. He’s already capable of suppressing supreme heaven prides. It will be impossible to suppress him unless a King stage old monster makes a move."

In the end, the remaining cultivators didn’t dare to continue tailing Lin Xun.

Fifteen minutes later.

Amidst a tumultuous mountain range, Lin Xun suddenly paused, turned around, and said, "Old fellow, come out. I have something to discuss with you."

However, there was only silence, and no one to be seen.

Swish!

Lin Xun was unfazed. The Broken Blade swept out and shot toward a certain location like a silver streak.

"I can’t believe that you found me." Before the Broken Blade could approach, a gray figure rushed out with a bewildered and grave expression.

It was a thin middle-aged man with sunken eyes and an extremely powerful aura. It was the half-step King expert, Wen Xingzhou, who once fought Lin Xun!

Lin Xun naturally wouldn’t reveal that he had detected the other party’s presence ever since he left North Light City.

"You lost last time and have no chance of winning this time either. However, I will not kill you because I have something I need you to do."

Wen Xingzhou was livid. When had a mighty half-step King expert of Heaven Axis Holy Land like himself ever been ridiculed and ordered in such a manner?

However, the situation was pressing so he had to restrain himself. He coldly said, "I admit that it's very difficult to kill you. However, do you think that gives you the right to order me around?"

Lin Xun ignored Wen Xingzhou’s angry words and continued, "Go back and tell Chu Beihai that I will wait for him in Sand Cloud City. Remember to bring along the teleportation array control talisman or Heaven Axis Holy Land will not see Xue Qianhen and the other core disciples ever again."

"That’s why you captured Xue Qianhen and the others!" Wen Xingzhou immediately understood, causing his expression to turn incomparably stormy.

Lin Xun indifferently said, "Remember, Chu Beihai must come alone. If I discover that an existence beyond the King stage has moved, I will immediately kill them."

He believed that with the lives of the four core disciples in his hands, the other party would have to give in no matter how much they hated to.

Wen Xingzhou's expression fluctuated indeterminately.

It was precisely as Lin Xun had speculated. Wen Xingzhou knew that if there was a chance to save the lives of Xue Qianhen and the others, the sect would inevitably agree to Lin Xun's conditions no matter how angry they were or how humiliating it was.

Because every core disciple was crucial to the sect and the loss of each one would cause an immeasurable blow to them.

After all, for a sect to continue prospering it needed constant infusions of strong new blood.

Xue Qianhen and the others were supreme path experts. In fact, it could be said that they represented the future of Heaven Axis Holy Land!

"Even if you ultimately manage to leave the Ancient Blue Province alive, you won’t live for long!" Wen Xingzhou gnashed his teeth in anger.

Lin Xun responded with a nonchalant attitude, "Since I dare to do this, why would I be afraid of such things?"

Wen Xingzhou threateningly said, "Little shitbag, just you wait. If you never become a King expert, you will never be in control of your own fate. The power of an ancient orthodoxy is definitely not something that an ant like you can withstand!"

"Heh." Lin Xun smiled, "But if I do one day set foot in the Supreme King stage, will you still dare to say such things to me?"

A frosty look emerged from between his brows, "At the end of the day, you guys are bullying me because I’m alone. If the opportunity comes in the future, I will personally pay a visit to Heaven Axis Holy Land to see if you guys can stop me!"

With that, he turned around and left.

"Ignorant fool!" Wen Xingzhou's face was white with rage. He wanted to give chase, but ultimately stopped because he was worried about angering Lin Xun.

At the same time, he was also genuinely a little frightened.

Lin Xun's potential was simply too terrifying. He was only at the Cyclic Derivation stage, but he already possessed the strength to suppress his supreme heaven pride peers. Who would be able to stop him if he were to become a King or Saint expert in the future?

"I must report this matter to the sect as soon as possible!" Wen Xingzhou realized the severity of the problem and quickly departed.

Whoosh!

Lin Xun summoned the Grand Universe Ark and headed toward Sand Cloud City at full speed.

He had to arrive at the ancient teleportation array as soon as possible to prevent the enemy from setting up a trap in advance.

As long as this was achieved, it would not be difficult to leave the Ancient Blue Province.

"After killing so many Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples again, they are probably going to go crazy with anger..."

Although he knew it was a very serious matter, Lin Xun didn’t feel any psychological burden. As long as he left the Ancient Blue Province, the threat from Heaven Axis Holy Land would greatly weaken.

Moreover, Lin Xun was certain that they would at most dispatch King stage old monsters to deal with him to maintain their dignity.

As for Saint experts...

Heaven Axis Holy Land wouldn’t be foolish enough to request such existences to move.

After all, it would be simply humiliating. If the other factions in the East Victory World found out, Heaven Axis Holy Land would lose all of their dignity.

It was absurd for a Saint expert to be dispatched to kill a Cyclic Derivation expert. Moreover, it would only prove that Heaven Axis Holy Land was incapable.

As such, Lin Xun wasn’t worried while he traveled to Sand Cloud City. Even if King stage old monsters were dispatched, he had ways to deal with them.

Of course, that was only if the other party dared to send them!
