The Prodigies War

Chapter 1558: After the Battle

Chapter 1558: After the Battle

A viscous blood-red curtain hung in the sky as the sounds of Saint’s deaths echoed across the land.

With each wave of Lin Xun's sleeve, mountains of giant golden bricks were laid out along a fifty-mile radius around the temporary camp. The golden mountains glimmered with gorgeous rune patterns.

Each golden brick measured ten feet in length and two feet in width. The bricks were made from Andalusite Golden Sand and were as glossy as glass, causing them to give off a unique golden gleam.

Lin Xun had carved a rune pattern on each brick, allowing the bricks to resonate with the Four Killing and Eight Protective Arrays.

Soon after, the bodies and blood in the arrays were gathered and coated over each golden mountain.

The golden mountains were swiftly covered in bones and soaked in blood!

Rumble!

This continued for an hour before the many mountains of golden bricks began to produce a peculiar rumbling noise.

Lin Xun softly spat out a single word, "Rise!"

In an instant, the golden bricks neatly assembled themselves into walls.

All the experts in the camp couldn’t help but hold their breaths and reveal astonished expressions as golden walls covered in blood rose before their eyes!

Thud thud thud!

The moving golden bricks produced sounds that resembled beans being stir-fried.

In the sky, Lin Xun wore a focused look as he occasionally waved his fingers and meticulously operated the arrays.

Even before setting up the arrays, Lin Xun had already finalized every detail, such as the placement of each golden mountain, the rune patterns engraved on each brick, and how to perfectly align the arrays together with the construction of the city...

In fact, every potential problem had been simulated and solved countless times by Lin Xun as early as half a year ago.

Lin Xun's goal was simple: to build an unbreakable and eternal city for the Ancient Wasteland Domain which would protect them from the elements and their enemies!

He wished to construct a city that would forever stand strong even if another Conflict of the Nine Domains occurred!

At present, all that was left was to turn this wish into reality.

"The seventy supreme Saints, the 210,000-strong army, and previously collected bodies and blood of our enemies have been reduced to mere building materials in Lin Xun’s hands..."

Ruowu appeared to be in a daze. "Our enemies would likely fly into a rage if they knew."

"I suspect that Lin Xun had already anticipated all of this when he first started building the arrays half a year ago and planned to borrow the blood and flesh and our enemies to build a City of Protection for the Ancient Wasteland Domain. Although it would have sounded crazy to anyone, he ended up succeeding."

Shaohao sighed deeply.

The expression in Ruowu’s eyes turned obscure as she said in a low voice, "We should have known long ago that Lin Xun's seemingly bold and astonishing feats are backed up by thorough preparation and planning. However, it's difficult for the average person to understand the hard work he put in."

"To do what others cannot is what makes a great hero and a true genius. Lin Xun...is someone you have no choice but to eventually acknowledge."

Shaohao rubbed his nose. There was a complicated look in his eyes.

He had never given up on eventually vying with Lin Xun for supremacy. However, after witnessing the numerous feats Lin Xun had achieved, Shaohao couldn't help but wonder if he was making things too difficult for himself to compete with such a heaven-defying monster.

Ruowu muttered, "My only concern is that the eight domains will now view Lin Xun as a major threat. Who knows how many dangers he will have to face in the future..."

After all, Lin Xun had singlehandedly destroyed the seven domains army which was an accomplishment that would be impossible to hide.

How would the eight domains react once they learned about this?

"Therefore, we need to hurry up and buck up. Relying on Lin Xun alone isn’t enough to fight against the enemies from the eight domains. Only by producing more supreme Saints will our Ancient Wasteland Domain have the foundation to vie for supremacy in the Conflict of the Nine Domains."

Determination shone from Shaohao’s eyes.

The eight domains had numerous strong experts, and it was impossible to know how many supreme Saints they had.

Although the seven domains army was wiped out, each domain had only lost ten supreme Saints and thirty thousand troops.

It must be known that in the Blood Demon Territory, Lin Xun had killed thirty supreme Saints and countless experts from the Blood Demon Ancient Domain!

With this information in mind, although it was true that the seven domains had suffered substantial losses, it wasn’t a devastating blow to them.

Moreover, this incident would inevitably make the eight domains reevaluate the strength of the Ancient Wasteland Domain and dispatch an even greater force to deal with them in the future!

"You're right. What our Ancient Wasteland Domain lacks at present is experts at the supreme Saint stage."

Ruowu said, "In about half a year, the Origin Magnet Secret Realm, which contains opportunities to become supreme Saints, will descend. Lin Xun mentioned that when the time comes, he will lend a helping hand to the Ancient Wasteland Domain experts and give them a chance to compete for the opportunity to become a supreme Saint."

"The Origin Magnet Secret Realm?"

Shaohao sighed. "There’s still half a year left. I hope...there won't be too many twists and turns..."

In the distance, Lin Xun was still fully immersed in building the city.

……

North Sea Territory.

A giant kun that measured over ten thousand feet in length was stirring up havoc in the sea. The waves it created smashed the surrounding space to pieces, producing devastating whirlpools that rapidly rose into the sky and shattered the clouds.

Swish!

After some time, the kun suddenly transformed into a young man. He was dressed in a black wide-sleeved robe, had a handsome face, and intimidating light seemed to burst from his whirlpool-like eyes.

In a flash, he arrived at a building on an island.

An old monster from the Kun Clan approached and said with a respectful expression, "Congratulations Young Master, you have reached the threshold of creating your own technique!"

"I only touched the threshold and there’s still a long way to go. There’s no need to make a fuss."

Kun Shaoyu sighed. Despite saying this, there was an unconcealable look of pride on his face.

In the eight domains, it wasn’t rare to find people like him who had reached the supreme Saint stage.

However, there were definitely very few who could touch the threshold of creating a Saint art so shortly after reaching the supreme Saint stage.

In the North Sea Ancient Domain, his current strength would allow him to easily establish his own sect and make many old monsters bow down in submission!

Amidst the congratulatory voices, Kun Shaoyu walked into the hall and said, "With the seven domains army, the Ancient Wasteland Domain’s defeat is inevitable. Since we’ve achieved our goal of first destroying the Ancient Wasteland Domain, it is time to think about the battle for supremacy among the eight domains."

At this point, he recalled something and couldn't help but laugh. "I'm certain that Xue Qingyi’s Blood Demon Ancient Domain will be at a disadvantage once the eight domains start the battle for supremacy!"

The crowd of North Sea Ancient Domain experts in the hall couldn’t help but laugh as well.

In the present Nine Domains Battlefield, Xue Qingyi and the Blood Demon Ancient Domain had long become a laughing stock and were ridiculed and despised by other domains.

Rustle!

A letter suddenly flew into the hall.

"Has the operation to destroy the two-legged sheep of the Ancient Wasteland Domain finally been finished? Not bad, it ended a little faster than I expected."

Kun Shaoyu felt refreshed as he smiled, picked up the letter, and opened it.

Someone laughed and said, "Hahaha, it’s a foregone outcome. Seventy supreme Saints and an army of more than two hundred thousand will have easily exterminated those Ancient Wasteland Domain experts."

Someone mockingly said, "What about that little trash, Lin Xun? He’s probably dead, right? I wonder how regretful Xue Qingyi will feel once he realizes that he missed out on such an excellent opportunity to take revenge."

However, the crowd gradually realized that there was something off about Kun Shaoyu's reaction.

His eyes bulged from their sockets, and his face was stiff as he stood there holding the letter. His smile was also frozen as if he had been bewitched.

"Young Master, what is it?"

Everyone was puzzled.

Suddenly, the letter in Kun Shaoyu's hand burst to pieces as his expression turned exceedingly angry. He looked as if he wanted to kill someone as he gnashed his teeth and said, "How the hell were they defeated!?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Defeated?

Someone mumbled, "Young Master, are you saying the Ancient Wasteland Domain was defeated? Isn’t that normal?"

Bang!

Kun Shaoyu huffed in anger as he sent the person flying with a vicious kick, causing him to slam into the wall, bleeding profusely from his nose and mouth.

Everyone was frightened and alarmed.

Kun Shaoyu's eyes were red with rage. He gave off a terrifying presence that made him resemble a furious god.

Everyone soon learned the contents of the letter, and the entire hall erupted with noise.

"Impossible!"

"The seven domains army was trapped and killed without a single survivor? It must be fake!"

"Damnit, how could this happen?"

Everyone’s faces were filled with alarm and anger, unable to accept the news.

Who would believe that an overwhelming force of seventy supreme Saints and more than two hundred thousand experts had been massacred by Lin Xun?

Kun Shaoyu was also in disbelief. He had already turned his sights to the battle for supremacy among the eight domains after achieving their goal of destroying the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Who could have anticipated that reality would give him a tight slap at this moment?!

With a chilling expression, Kun Shaoyu sternly shouted, "Confirm it, make sure to confirm this news!"

He was the one who had suggested the formation of the seven domains army and had originally thought they would easily crush the Ancient Wasteland Domain experts.

However, the outcome was the total annihilation of the seven domains army while the Ancient Wasteland Domain didn’t lose a single person.

It was a devastating blow that Kun Shaoyu couldn’t swallow.

A day later, the news was confirmed to be true, leaving Kun Shaoyu stunned and in shock.

It was true!

The seven domains army had been slaughtered without a single survivor!

"Is Lin Xun actually that frightening?"

Iciness surged in Kun Shaoyu's eyes.

Although this defeat wasn’t a heavy blow to the North Sea Ancient Domain, it was extremely humiliating!

After all, the seven domains had joined forces and dispatched so many troops only to be crushed by a single person. It was a devastating defeat that had never occurred before in the history of the Conflict of the Nine Domains!
