The Prodigies War

Chapter 1574: Grand Abyss Descends from the Sky

Chapter 1574: Grand Abyss Descends from the Sky

Was the momentum of thirty supreme Saints mobilized at once something one could imagine?

The land seemed to be submerged in viscous, raging killing intent and all sorts of soul-shattering dao sounds.

Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers collapsed without a sound[1]!

It created a kind of atmosphere that struck despair into even True Saints. As for those below the Saint stage, they would have no chance of survival if even a breath of this atmosphere were to sweep through them.

In this oppressive, murderous environment, Lin Xun waved his sleeve and took to the air.

Clang!

The Yuantu Sword had been accumulating momentum for this moment. With a stirring chant that sounded like an eager cheer to feast on Saints’ blood, it released a ferocious killing aura.

“You want to test me out? With just this number of people?”

As his cynical laughter echoed in the sky, Lin Xun strode forth. With obscure lights streaming around his tall and slender figure and a chilling cold light flashing in his eyes, he looked like a demon god.

“Come and accept your death, you maniac!”

“Attack!”

In a burst of shouts, the thirty supreme Saints charged forth in a fan-shape formation, wielding all sorts of colorful Saint Treasures and using all kinds of skills.

The world seemed to be tossed upside down, and the sun and the moon lost their shine. In just the blink of an eye, Lin Xun’s figure was drowned in a sea of attacks.

Dong!

The first to arrive was a solemn-looking old monk whose skin looked solid as if it was carved out of jade. Holding a gold-gilded staff, he smashed it straight at Lin Xun.

The illusion of a Buddha manifested on the staff as the weapon moved fiercely like a heavenly dragon and shook heaven and earth.

On another side, several other supreme Saints were clamping down at Lin Xun together.

A white-clothed youth erupted with violet fire that then took the shape of a lifelike Qilin. The violet fire Qilin had a sky-blotting might and seemed capable of overturning rivers and mountains with its thundering roars.

A black-clad Taoist expert was equipped with a precious imperial heavenly bell suspended above his head. The waist of the bell was imprinted with the image of a Taoist priest. Within the mouth floated countless white lights condensed from Saint Dao Laws so holy that they could cleanse the universe and exterminate all evil.

Aside from them, there was a woman dressed in scarlet who held an ancient zither, and a bearded middle-aged man carrying a snake spear.

This was only the first wave of attacks that approached Lin Xun, and their monstrous phenomena and ferocious auras already blotted out everything else.

Had it been any other supreme Saint, their first thought when facing this spectacle would be to dodge it entirely.

But Lin Xun was an exception.

Clang!

He strode forward instead of retreating. The Yuantu Sword in his hand called upon a bloody light that reached ten thousand feet into the sky. It looked like the Underworld River was cascading down from the nine heavens.

Kaboom!

As the blood-red sword light and the gold-gilded staff clashed, the conflict between their terrifying energy fluctuations produced thunderous explosions.

The old monk felt as though he was under the full impact of the Underworld River. His staff whined pitifully, and as it struggled to fly out of his hand, he was shaken to the point of having to retreat. His qi and blood tumbled inside, making him dizzy.

This frightened the old monk. As someone who had entered supreme Sainthood by cultivating a Buddha secret art that followed the physical refinement path, his body was undoubtedly strong. Yet, he had been completely suppressed in the first head-on exchange!

Meanwhile, Lin Xun flicked his finger and deployed A Moment of Spring and Autumn. Before the white-clothed youth’s violet fire Qilin could even get close, it was flicked away with a mournful scream.

But at the same time, the precious imperial heavenly bell of the Taoist expert descended from the sky. The countless crystalline, white lights it dispensed felt as though they were the representation of the great dao order.

In an instant, it enveloped and tied down Lin Xun.

“Die!”

The zither woman and the bearded middle-aged man wielding the snake spear seized the opportunity and attacked from two sides.

“Wanting to trap me with this little trick? Scram!”

Lin Xun suddenly erupted with a horrifying, pure light. His energy churned like a dragon rising from the deep abyss. With a loud shout, all the forces that were binding him shattered like ice.

Rumble!

In the raging radiance, the power erupting from Lin Xun knocked back the treasure bell, the zither woman, and the bearded man before they could get close.

As the crowd cried out of shock, the bell trembled as it flew backward.

Blood spilled from the zither woman’s lips.

The bearded middle-aged man repeatedly staggered back, shattering the void with every step. His energy flow was in chaos and almost made him cough up blood.

In this first exchange that lasted only a moment, the siege of the old monk, the Taoist expert, the white-clothed youth, and these two supreme Saints was easily broken!

The other supreme Saints charging behind him grew serious when they saw this. The fact that Lin Xun was this dominant in a direct confrontation meant the terror of his strength was way beyond their imagination.

However, Lin Xun’s figure was quickly drowned once again in the attacks of not five, but thirty supreme Saints this time!

RUMBLE!

The field quaked in an abrupt explosion of lights from crisscrossing dao skills, dazzling Saint Treasures, and all sorts of superimposed phenomena.

Heaven and earth seemed to be sinking and collapsing in the staging of this terrifying battle of the ages.

Watching from the grand formation, the eight-domain cultivators were wide-eyed in horror. They could hardly see the specific details, but even so, they found it difficult to remain calm.

Thirty supreme Saints were fighting!

Meanwhile, their opponent was but a young man who had only entered supreme Sainthood a year ago. The sheer disparity in numbers was astounding.

Zhao Jingxuan’s eyes were fully fixed on the surrounded Lin Xun, her stunning face was unperturbed.

But despite her confidence in his strength, she couldn’t help but feel nervous inside.

“Now you both can see how savage this man is, right?” Xue Qingyi’s scarlet eyes glowed intensely.

When he had ordered thirty supreme Saints to go together, everyone had questioned his decision. They had found it to be a disgrace, a move that would do nothing but hurt their morale and invite ridicule.

But now, who would still dare to say that?

Everything that was unfolding proved how correct his arrangement was!

However, Xue Qingyi was still unsettled inside.

The battle prowess displayed by Lin Xun made him feel threatened and pressured as it was even stronger than he had expected!

“Fortunately, we have over a hundred supreme Saints at the helm, and also Shi Pohai and Hua Hongxiao. No matter how ferocious you are, Lin Xun, it’s hard for you to escape death…” muttered Xue Qingyi in his heart.

“This person is indeed remarkable. He has stepped into the threshold of making his own law. In the quest for supreme Saint Dao, he is not at all inferior to us.” Shi Pohai’s eyes zapped like electricity. Only at this moment did he see how powerful Lin Xun truly was. He no longer dared to underestimate the latter like before.

If Shi Pohai were to be in this situation, he couldn’t say if he’d be able to break out from the siege of thirty supreme Saints and survive.

“The more this is the case, the more that he should be removed,” uttered Hua Hongxiao with agitated killing intent on his icy face. Obviously, he had also sensed a threat from Lin Xun’s power.

If the Ancient Wasteland Camp continued to be protected by this man, then they would have to sleep with one eye open!

“Heh, not to worry. I had lain low for a long time in order to finally set this up. Today, he is a caged bird with nowhere to run to,” laughed Xue Qingyi softly, his expression filled with absolute confidence.

Over one hundred supreme Saints and eight hundred True Saints! If we can’t kill Lin Xun with this, then we might as well kill ourselves!

The battlefield still rumbled nonstop under the intense attacks.

The sky was filled with fire dragons, deafening thunder, divine rainbows, and blazing sword lights…

A total of thirty supreme Saints were attacking together. It was hard to imagine such a sight, where countless forces that could individually destroy the world were all combined.

This side of heaven and earth was crushed to pieces. Even the void became volatile as if it couldn’t withstand this degree of power.

Any other supreme Saint would have long been torn to shreds. Even a Big Saint would probably have chosen to avoid it!

But at this moment, Lin Xun was operating his true power and interpreting his daos to the extreme. All sorts of miraculous techniques poured out from his hands.

The Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art.

The Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations.

The Great Diffusion Void Breaker Finger.

The Taixuan sword qi…

At the end, a large abyss appeared around Lin Xun and stretched across the sky. By unleashing an annihilating aura that quickly permeated the region, the abyss seemed to want to engulf the heavens.

The void in a thousand-mile radius emitted thumping sounds of collapse. Like a heavenly river flooding its banks, all the power around swirled into a huge storm that converged on the great abyss behind Lin Xun.

Everything under the sky twisted and crumbled, revealing horrifying phenomena that made the land tremble in despair. It looked as though the apocalypse was descending.

The faces of the thirty supreme Saints changed drastically. None of them had expected that Lin Xun not only was able to hold on until now but also showed signs of wanting to turn the situation around and taking control of it.

They instantly used all their means and attacked with all their might like furious deities.

The distant onlookers gasped when they noticed this. Their opponent was able to fight fiercely and even wanted to turn the tables under such a circumstance. Lin Xun’s toughness and ferocity made their hearts palpitate.

Before long, however, they were finally able to relax when Lin Xun was injured.

Swish!

A pitch-black sword qi swept through, dragging out a string of blood from Lin Xun’s shoulder.

Soon, a second, third, and fourth wound appeared one after another, though they quickly closed under the healing power of his physical refinement cultivation and the Immortality Grand Dao.

But everyone could see that he was faltering!

“He’s surrounded by thirty supreme Saints after all. How can he still turn the tables?” Many onlookers were relieved, thinking that the outcome was already decided and Lin Xun’s death was only a matter of time.

Only Zhao Jingxuan whispered to herself, “If a few minor injuries can pose a threat to him, then he wouldn’t be worthy of the title Demon God Lin.”

Right at this moment, Lin Xun suddenly let out a long roar in the midst of the fierce fight. He pressed his palm in the air, and the great abyss behind him began to come crashing down.

Boom!

The void buzzed and collapsed, from which chaos appeared.

The horror of this strike was in the fact that the whole sky seemed to transform into a giant abyss, and it wanted to swallow everything under its scope.

The land nearby was unable to withstand the terrifying pressure and sank violently.

Kaboom!

All the attacks coming at Lin Xun burst like bubbles.

All the godly Saint Treasures were knocked back with wails.

The thirty supreme Saints who were charging with all their might suddenly felt their breath lodging in their throats. They then trembled uncontrollably under the impact of a tearing force, which made their faces lose color.

As the encompassing abyss descended from the sky, its power overturned the world!
