Chapter 1329 No Such Thing as a Great Feat for One Who is Invincible

Shang Tiange exited the battlefield after having achieved ten consecutive victories.

In that instant, the area was filled with an inexplicable atmosphere as all eyes fell upon Lin Xun.

There were only a few hours left before the first round of the competition came to an end, but who would dare to get onto the field in Demon God Lin’s presence?

What if they got challenged by him?

In the last three days, the apex giants like Imperial Son Shaohao and Fairy Ruowu had quickly achieved ten consecutive victories, and they were currently receiving inheritances from the stone statues.

Therefore, Lin Xun was the only one left outside oppressing the rest to the point that it was suffocating.

“Are you going?” Lin Xun looked at Zhao Jingxuan.

“I’ll pass.” Zhao Jingxuan was self-aware.

Although she had accumulated greatly in cultivation during her silent hibernation, she was only at the second longevity stage, and so the amount of battle power she could exert was limited. There was almost no hope for her to win ten consecutive matches.

She urged Lin Xun, “You go. Don’t dilly-dally and waste the others’ chances.”

“Mhm.” Lin Xun could also see that the others wouldn’t dare to enter the battlefield as long as he remained outside.

Swish!

He appeared on the field in a flicker and swept his eyes at the audience.

“Who would like to duel me?” His voice was calm as it resounded through the whole area.

After that, there was only silence. The atmosphere grew strange as the cultivators glanced at each other without speaking.

Most were groaning in their hearts. As if there haven’t been enough supreme geniuses who died at your hands. Was Yun Qingbai powerful? Yes, he was like a legend, but he was also killed by you.

Whoever challenges you now will just be embarrassing themselves!

Time passed without anyone responding to Lin Xun. He stood there in the middle of the field, looking quite lonely.

Even Zhao Jingxuan was dumbfounded. Has his notoriety already reached the point where no one dares to fight him anymore?

Lin Xun waited for so long that he was also speechless. Unable to go on like this, he opened his mouth to speak with a sincere look and warm voice, “It’s just a sparring session, you can challenge me without worry. I promise I won’t hold a grudge against anyone because of this.”

The crowd all revealed a look of ‘I’m not falling for that.’

Who doesn’t know that you are an unchecked savage whose hands are drenched in blood? Being defeated here isn’t a big deal, but it’s another story if I unknowingly offend you and earn your enmity.

The atmosphere grew even more bizarre and heavy.

This reminded many cultivators of the other day when Imperial Son Shaohao had taken the arena. The atmosphere had also been quite dull then.

In the end, however, some apex giants had challenged him, giving the audience one spectacle after another.

But the situation back then had been different as there had been many other apex figures who weren’t afraid of dueling Shaohao, while currently, there was no one of that caliber waiting to fight besides Lin Xun!

“Fellow Daoists, it’s really just a sparring match,” said Lin Xun, his expression couldn’t be more earnest.

Some cultivators hesitated. Should I...agree?

At this moment, a young man jumped into the arena and said, “Master Lin, I may not be worthy, but I admire your strength. To be able to spar with you today, I’ll have no regrets!”

It was a cultivator from the Blood Soul Clan who went by the name of Xue Wuxiu. He had a pair of blood wings on his back and was shrouded in a monstrous blood-red glow. In his hands was a pair of copper maces that emitted a rich golden luster.

The crowd was stunned. Many inwardly cursed.

This fellow is too cunning, buttering up Demon God Lin before the duel even starts! How shameless!

Meanwhile, some praised his smart action in their hearts. Well done! This way, Demon God Lin probably won’t have the heart to let him lose in too unsightly a manner.

“Please.” Lin Xun smiled.

Xue Wuxiu’s expression grew solemn as he said with a resounding, impassioned voice, “Master Lin, it is my honor to duel with you. As a show of respect, I’ll give it my all. Please don’t hesitate to teach me what I can do better.”

At this point, the flattery was so obvious that even Lin Xun’s mouth twitched.

Xue Wuxiu then let out a loud battle cry. His blood-red wings flapped and took him into the air. His copper maces cut a cross over the whole sky as they emitted a brilliant light.

Boom!

The void seemed to collapse under the blinding, sharp light.

Xue Wuxiu was undoubtedly very powerful, and he started off with his most powerful move.

However, it still couldn’t pose any threat to Lin Xun. But since the other party had been very respectful, he held back with his counter.

The duel erupted and garnered the crowd’s attention.

After dozens of exchanges, Xue Wuxiu suddenly stopped, to the shock of all.

His face was full of admiration as he cupped his fist. “Master Lin truly possesses astonishing power. This humble one is far from your match. I admit defeat.”

The faces of the onlookers immediately darkened.

Too despicable!

It’s not a fight when all you intend to do is kiss ass and curry favor with him!

Can someone be any more shameless than this?!

“You...” Lin Xun was caught off guard. But before he could even say something, Xue Wuxiu had bowed and exited the battlefield.

The guy even put on an emotional expression and sighed, “Today, I was able to spar with Master Lin, the person who I respect the most. How fortunate is that?! It’s an honor to be defeated!”

The crowd just had to hand it to him. In terms of shamelessness, Xue Wuxiu was definitely a top expert. He was able to grasp the essence of the art and display it so openly. Who else could reach such a level?

Even Lin Xun couldn’t help but gasp in amazement.

It was truly unexpected that such a brazen fellow had been able to enter the Ultimate Inheritance Land.

“Anyone else willing to duel with me?” asked Lin Xun.

The crowd felt incredibly torn. Xue Wuxiu had really made it hard for everyone. Even if they wanted to spar with Lin Xun now, it would look like they just wanted to butter him up.

Therefore, silence was the collective response.

Lin Xun was also helpless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. How would he fulfill the requirements of ten consecutive victories if no one else was going to challenge him?

Clang!

A majestic bell sound suddenly resounded from the horizon.

Then, under the incredulous eyes of all, a brilliant, holy light emerged from the battlefield and poured into Lin Xun.

This meant that he had passed the first round of the competition.

The crowd gawked in utter shock. How does that work? He hasn’t even carried out ten duels!

Answering them was a force of Law Power that appeared and transformed into a line of words on the ground—‘When there are no feats to achieve when one is invincible, one can directly pass!’

The whole field was dumbfounded.

After three days, this was the first time they had learned about this kind of exception as it had only appeared with Demon God Lin!

To be invincible meant one was already so powerful that no one dared to fight them, thus there was nothing to achieve anymore.

This was what the saying ‘No such thing as a great feat for one who is invincible’ had been made to describe.

Even Lin Xun was stunned by the sudden event. Then, he keenly felt the holy light that was surging into him forming some kind of connection with the ancient stone statues in the distance.

He realized that he had indeed passed the first round, only that the process had been quite unexpected.

Looking at Lin Xun’s bewildered and baffled appearance, Zhao Jingxuan let out a giggle. Her clear and bright smile was like a flower bud blooming in the sunlight after the rain, beautiful beyond compare.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but smile wryly as well. He shook his head and exited the battlefield.

The other cultivators outside the field all heaved a long sigh of relief. With Demon God Lin out of the way, it was finally their turn!

Everyone was immediately boiling with fighting spirit.

“Hahaha, my turn!”

A’lu suddenly jumped into the field with a booming laugh, throwing cold water on the rest.

How did I forget about this crude barbarian?!

All of that had nothing to do with Lin Xun, who was walking toward the area where over one thousand stone statues were located.

Ancient and towering, they exuded different mights while standing there like Saints overlooking all living beings.

They were breathtaking to look at, as it felt like being faced with heavenly giants who had reigned supreme in the ages.

Pacing among them, Lin Xun saw Imperial Son Shaohao, Fairy Ruowu, Yuan Fatian, Little Golden Winged Dapeng King, Wang Xuanyu, Ye Mohe...

He also saw Toady, the big black bird, Ye Chen, Xiao Cangtian, Ji Xingyao...

They were all solemnly sitting cross-legged before a statue, shrouded in streams of dao light as they received the inheritances.

“Over a thousand statues... Does this mean there are over a thousand inheritances here?

“This Ultimate Inheritance Land is certainly extraordinary. It was most likely created by over a thousand heavenly figures together. They left their own inheritances here, just like leaving a wisp of dao fire. The dao fire never ceases; the great dao is eternal...

“I wonder if there’s one suitable for me...”

Lin Xun kept walking as he sensed the statues with a calm mind.

A while later, he stopped and furrowed his brows.

There were over a thousand ancient stone statues and over a thousand inheritances. Excluding those that had been occupied, none of them resonated with Lin Xun.

“They don’t approve of me? Or there isn’t even one amongst these that suits me?” Lin Xun pondered.

At the same time, many people had also noticed that Lin Xun had traveled all over the area without having received an inheritance. This was unexpected and caused them to look twice in astonishment.

Someone with Demon God Lin’s power couldn’t even obtain one inheritance?

Zhao Jingxuan also frowned in confusion.

Before long, Lin Xun just chose a random statue, sat down in front of it, and closed his eyes.

It was like he was trying to sense something.

But from beginning to end, nothing unusual happened, which obviously meant that he hadn’t sensed an inheritance that fit him at all.

The unexpected scene immediately drew many concerned gazes.

What on earth is going on?

Don’t tell me that Demon God Lin has been rejected by all inheritances?

Many people looked at Lin Xun strangely.

Who could have expected that the mighty Demon God Lin, who had passed the round as the invincible one who didn’t require a great feat, wouldn’t even be able to obtain a single inheritance?
