Chapter 1163 The First Supreme King

Chapter 1163 The First Supreme King

While the outside world was busy, Lin Xun’s daily life had become rather peaceful.

Everyday, he would spend time on meditation, polishing his techniques, developing his dao, and occasionally take some time to trade with visiting cultivators.

As time passed, Burning Immortal Ancient City gradually regained its previous atmosphere of liveliness, prosperity, and order.

The only difference was that anyone who passed by Lin Xun’s residence would slow down and reveal expressions of respect.

Although Lin Xun had yet to reach the Supreme King stage, no one dared to provoke him in Burning Immortal Ancient City!

It was the power of reputation!

Omm~

On this particular day, Lin Xun opened his eyes from his meditation and lightly pointed in the air, causing an abyss to emerge.

The bottomless abyss gave off a strange buzzing sound and was surrounded by traces of extinguishing stars.

Next, the Grand Daos of Water and Fire emerged and began chasing each other like yin and yang fish, forming a peculiar balance amidst the abyss.

Waves of vast dragon cries resounded from the depths of the abyss as if a true dragon lay within it.

The abyss hummed, water and fire chased each other, and the cries of a dragon rippled. They seemed to form an infinite cycle that would cause a palpitating sensation in anyone who saw it.

This was the dao Lin Xun had arrived at after innumerable interpretations and tireless effort.

The Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer Dao was the base.

The Fire Water Grand Dao was the guide.

The True Dragon Grand Dao was the spirit.

And the Immortal Grand Dao was the will!

These four Grand Daos had been fused together. However, this did not satisfy Lin Xun's ambitions.

Although it was still in its prototype phase, the dao was already beginning to show signs of being capable of accommodating all daos and swallowing everything in the world.

"This dao is boundless, immeasurable, endless, limitless, inconstrainable...therefore it can encompass and swallow everything the world cannot!"

Lin Xun muttered as he grew increasingly certain of the direction he sought to develop his dao.

All he lacked now was a single opportunity!

An opportunity to ascend to the Supreme King stage!

"I wonder when Toady will be able to come out from the blessing area left by the Burning Immortal...

"There’s also A’lu who has already been gone for months. I wonder if he has managed to find any clues about the Ancient Land of All."

Lin Xun suddenly remembered Toady and A’lu.

Soon after, he shook his head. Both of them had their own paths to seek, and it was useless to worry since he couldn’t lend them any aid.

After all, cultivators could only rely on themselves to seek their paths!

Lin Xun didn't dwell on the matter, got up, and left the palace hall.

He decided to head to the Supreme Tower.

……

The streets were bustling and more prosperous than ever.

"Big news! An ancient-era talent named Chi Lingxiao triggered a Supreme King tribulation and overcame it to become a King expert!"

"He’s the first heaven pride to reach the Supreme King stage!"

A piece of sensational news spread throughout the city, astonishing everyone.

Lin Xun also heard of the news after leaving his residence.

Chi Lingxiao!

Lin Xun had heard of this person before. He was an extremely powerful and terrifying individual who had slumbered in a preserved state for countless years. When he emerged into the current era, the world was immediately shocked by the astonishing combat power he displayed.

In particular, the Six Prisons Annihilation Sutra he wielded was known to be a timeless and peerless art that could inflict endless horror.

"I can’t believe he’s the first to reach the Supreme King stage..."

Lin Xun was unable to maintain his composure.

In the ancient era, although the Supreme Realm had descended several times no one had succeeded in reaching the Supreme King stage. This was why it was viewed as an untouchable legend.

However, Chi Lingxiao had now made that legend into a reality!

It would not be an exaggeration to call him the first-ever Supreme King.

"The Baikong World where Chi Lingxiao was located has now become the focal point of all Three Thousand Worlds while he has become an existence that numerous ancient-era talents are extra wary of!"

"What's more, on the first day after Chi Lingxiao became a King expert, he easily killed more than ten King experts as if he were merely harvesting wheat!"

"My god, is the Supreme King stage that terrifying?"

Everyone was gushing about Chi Lingxiao and the Supreme King stage. It had become the hottest topic in Burning Immortal Ancient City.

Because this was the very first person to become a Supreme King stage existence!

From how an incident that occurred in the Baikong World could spread to all Three Thousand Worlds and shock countless cultivators, it was easy to imagine how much attention Chi Lingxiao was drawing by reaching the Supreme King stage.

Lin Xun had a strong premonition that in the following days, more and more people would achieve breakthroughs and ascend to the Supreme King stage like Chi Lingxiao.

"The true competition is finally about to begin..."

Lin Xun's black eyes turned as deep as the night as he recalled many things.

If the Three Thousand Worlds was a place where any expert below the King stage could find great opportunities, the Upper Ninth Realm was destined to become a training ground where the supreme heaven prides would vie for supremacy!

……

Lin Xun soon arrived at the Supreme Tower.

To his surprise, the entrance was blocked by a group of people who did not allow other cultivators to approach.

A purple-clothed man standing in front of the entrance indifferently said, "Want to enter the tower? Sure, you’ll be eligible to enter as long as you beat any of us. If not, obediently walk away with your tail between your legs!"

He had a tall and slim figure from which a faint purple radiance spread. His arms were crossed while displaying a cold and haughty expression.

"These guys who crossed over from another world are too much!"

Several cultivators nearby displayed stormy expressions.

Lin Xun quickly figured out the situation after listening to the conversations amidst the gathered crowd.

Over the past few days, many cultivators who didn’t originally belong to Burning Immortal World had teleported here through the Supreme Tower.

There were several extremely powerful individuals among them who attempted to enter the Upper Ninth Realm through the Burning Immortal World’s Supreme Building.

This was all fine so far.

After all, this was very normal. Each of the Three Thousand Worlds had a Supreme Building. Moreover, there were no rules that restricted cultivators from needing to enter the Upper Ninth Realm through a particular Supreme Building.

However, these new arrivals were trying to control the Supreme Building and restrict other cultivators from approaching. This would give cultivators from their own faction higher chances of winning one of the slots to enter the Upper Ninth Realm.

It was overbearing, to say the least!

The Supreme Building wasn’t the property of any faction, and every cultivator was permitted to enter to fight for a chance to enter the Upper Ninth Realm.

Restricting access was equivalent to completely removing the opportunity for some cultivators to enter the Upper Ninth Realm.

Someone indignantly remarked, "Alas, who else can be blamed but yourselves? Only strength is respected in the Supreme Realm. As long as one’s fist is big enough, who’s to stop them from doing what I want?"

Lin Xun couldn't help but ask, "Will the other great factions in the city do nothing and allow this to happen?"

The person disdainfully replied, "They’re all equally bad. The disciples of these great factions naturally aren’t restricted from entering the Supreme Tower. These foreign factions only dare to bully unaffiliated cultivators like us." Lin Xun couldn’t help but inwardly sigh at this information. This was the power of great factions. Compared to them, the low-class cultivators had a much harder time.

Take the Supreme Tower, for example. Although everyone was allowed to enter, access was now being restricted by the great factions, which was basically cutting off other people’s chances of entering the Upper Ninth Realm.

No matter how many talents there were among the low-class cultivators, how could they contend with the great factions?

There were only a thousand spots to enter the Upper Ninth Realm in every world.

If such a limited quota was being controlled by the great factions, the cultivators with no sects and those from small factions would have no chance to enter the Upper Ninth Realm!

The group of cultivators blocking the Supreme Building were from a powerful faction known as the Underworld Ancient Sect.

They were an ancient orthodoxy from the North Dipper World with countless years of history and extremely strong foundations.

The purple-clothed man at the head of the group was named Luo Chuan and was a supreme heaven pride.

They dared to fearlessly restrict access to the Supreme Tower and were unafraid of the great factions in the city because they had a strong backing.

Otherwise, they would have long been destroyed by the great factions in the city.

After all, there were only so many quotas. Who would willingly watch it being monopolized by someone else?

"Please give me some guidance!"

A spirited-looking young man with slightly long limbs stepped forward and challenged an expert from the Underworld Ancient Sect.

The corners of Luo Chuan's lips curled in amusement. "Junior Brother Feng, since this friend wishes to challenge you, you should go and play with him."

The man called Junior Brother Feng was lanky and had a slightly pale complexion, making him look rather weak.

His expression darkened as he glared at the spirited-looking man with unfriendly eyes and said, "Why did you choose me out of so many people? Do you think that I’m the weakest?"

His voice was eerily sinister and intimidating.

The man replied, "I can challenge someone else if you don’t want to accept."

Junior Brother Feng displayed a shallow smile and said, "Excellent, I like tough guys like you!"

Rumble!

He moved as he spoke.

Despite his weak-looking appearance, he struck like a wild thunderbolt, releasing ferocious, chilling murderous intent that rapidly filled the area.

Shit!

The man's expression changed slightly, realizing that the opponent he had chosen was actually an extremely terrifying and ruthless character.

However, it was already too late for regrets.

Hence, he met the opponent with his full power.

The two fiercely fought. However, the spirited-looking man was soon suppressed as more and more bones broke and blood spattered with each blow.

Junior Brother Feng's methods were very cruel. In the end, he shattered every single bone of the spirited-looking man, leaving him limply lying on the ground as if he were made from mud.

The sight caused chills to shoot up everyone’s spines!

Junior Brother Feng grinned and said, "All your bones have been shattered. Do you have anything else to say now?"

On the ground, the man displayed an expression of agony and despair.

Crack!

Junior Brother Feng stomped on the man’s head, crushing it and ending his life amidst a splatter of blood.

The onlookers stiffened as their expressions fluctuated indeterminately. The cruel manner in which the Junior Brother Feng killed the challenger in what should have been a simple duel made them very uncomfortable.

Luo Chuan and other Underworld Ancient Sect disciples smiled, completely unaffected.

After all, it was only right that anyone who dared to challenge them should be prepared to face death!

Lin Xun frowned.
