The Prodigies War

Chapter 1586: Integrate Own Arts

Chapter 1586: Integrate Own Arts

In the first Conflict of the Nine Domains, the one who won the title of number one was a youngster from the Great Luo Ancient Domain called Qingyu. Now, he was hailed as Sword Emperor Qingyu.

Jian Qingchen’s Imperial Sword of Edict that Lin Xun had snatched away belonged to Sword Emperor Qingyu, and it had been with him when he ascended the dao and became emperor. It was an ordinary wooden sword that changed depending on its owner.

In the second Conflict of the Nine Domains, the number one person in the Flying Immortal Battle Realm was a young man called Kunling from the North Sea Ancient Domain.

Like Qingyu, he later became emperor and was crowned Emperor Kun!

With those two illustrious and legendary powerhouses setting examples, it was hard for even Lin Xun to disregard the competition in the Flying Immortal Battle Realm.

When Jian Qingchen faced off against Lin Xun, the reason he was reluctant to take action was because his mind was on the Flying Immortal Battle Realm so he did not want to fight to the death with Lin Xun before then.

“When I leave for the Flying Immortal Battle Realm, the other eight domains will definitely send armies to invade here, so I’m sorry that I will have to ask you all to stay here and defend against the enemies.”

Before Lin Xun went into closed-door cultivation, he summoned a group of supreme Saints for a meeting.

“Brother Lin, that’s too dangerous!”

Was he kidding? How could they let Lin Xun fight to the death alone?

“Everyone, our Ancient Wasteland Domain’s ultimate goal in the Conflict of the Nine Domains is to wipe away our past humiliation and avenge the sages who had shed their blood and lost their lives here,” Lin Xun stated solemnly. “As for the competition in the Flying Immortal Battle Realm, it is secondary. As long as you guys are here, the Ancient Wasteland Camp will stand strong and not be in danger of being destroyed.”

Everyone fell silent, their expressions changing repeatedly.

In truth, they also knew that it was not easy to enter the Flying Immortal Battle Realm; at most only nine people from each domain were allowed to enter.

Even if they all wanted to fight alongside Lin Xun, they knew it was impossible.

However, they were still worried. Only the strongest characters of the eight domains would possess a Flying Immortal Tablet. If they joined forces, could Lin Xun be able to compete with them on his own?

“Everyone, I won’t be alone. Little Silver and Little Sky will go with me.” Lin Xun reassured them with a smile.

Little Silver was a descendant of the God Devourer Insect Clan, and he had set foot into the Supreme Saint Stage! His incredible strength had been witnessed by everyone in the Origin Magnet Secret Realm.

On the other hand, Little Sky was also extraordinary. As a descendant of the Sky Splitting Demonic Butterfly Clan, it possessed frightening divine powers that could tear the sky apart. Now, it had also set foot into the Supreme Saint stage.

The two could indeed be a great help to Lin Xun.

“Big Brother, then what about A’lu and I?” Toady asked.

He was very unhappy and annoyed, thinking that Lin Xun was not loyal to his brothers by favoring Little Silver and Little Sky and leaving A’lu and him behind.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but laugh. “You two stay here to defend the city against enemies from the eight domains. If the city is breached, then I won’t spare you two.”

Both Toady and A’lu sighed.

Seeing this, everyone knew that Lin Xun had made up his mind and gave up on persuading him.

Lin Xun then said aloud, “Anyone who has a Flying Immortal Tablet can leave it with me. I will do my best to help you gather enough Fortunes of War Merits.”

Shaohao, Ruowu, Ye Mohe, Ji Xingyao, Mi Hengzhen, and Luo Jia each held a Flying Immortal Tablet, but they all unanimously declined Lin Xun’s kind intention with the reason that they wanted to kill enemies and collect Fortunes of War Merits themselves.

In truth, they did not want Lin Xun to risk his life in order to collect Fortunes of War Merits for them.

Lin Xun did not insist and just asked, “I have three Flying Immortal Tablets with me, two of which belong to the Ancient Wasteland Domain. In addition to the ones in your hands, there are only eight tablets here. Who has the remaining Flying Immortal Tablet?”

Everyone shook their heads.

Not just anybody could hold an item like the Flying Immortal Tablet. Moreover, it only had value on the Nine Domains Battlefield; otherwise it was no different from a useless piece of rock.

After everyone left, only Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan remained in the hall. Little Silver, Little Sky, Toady and A’lu also took the hint and left.

There was a bottle of strong brew, a pot of aged tea and a few plates of melons and fruits.

“I know I can’t change your mind. How about I drink with you tonight?” Zhao Jingxuan said in a gentle voice.

“Alright.” Lin Xun smiled.

The two leaned close, sipping the wine and tea and enjoying the warmth of each other and silence until dawn.

The next day, Lin Xun went into closed-door cultivation.

There were only five months until the Flying Immortal Battle Realm came.

Lin Xun intended to use the time to solely concentrate on comprehending the mystery of ‘when the three ways are united, the essence of one is formed,’ and create an art that belonged to himself!

One month later.

Buzz!

A clear noise resounded in the dark hall, and then, the crystal clear Broken Blade slowly slashed across the air, leaving a sharp and straight line in the void.

It was like the first ray of light that pierced the eternal night.

However, that ray of light was extremely slow. Upon a closer inspection, one would notice that when the ray of light appeared, stars were falling one after another and a perfectly round moon was rising above the sapphire sea…

Immediately following that, a giant sun exploded, turning everything into nothingness, and an aura of death and emptiness spread out...

That ray of light flickered amidst the still silence. Every time it flickered it felt as though it was bypassing the barrier of space and breaking the shackles of time.

Birth and death, light and shadow, all were fleeting, elusive and unpredictable. Just like fate and karma…

In the end, with a flash of light, the hall fell into darkness once again.

At that moment, Lin Xun, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, snapped open his eyes.

After a month of practice and understanding, he finally integrated all the secrets of the Heavenly Yuan Six Slashes into one!

That strike just now combined all secrets of the six slashes, Star-Gather, Moon-Catch, Burning Sun, Silent Emptiness, Birth Destruction and Impermanence, into one!

This was the Heavenly Yuan Slash!

This inheritance art, which originated from the Omega Secret-Realm, had now been simplified and grasped by Lin Xun, just like thousands of streams returning to the sea.

“If I control the Broken Blade with the Yuan Word Inheritance, Extreme Word Inheritance and the Zhu Word Inheritance, and then unleash the Heavenly Yuan Slash with my cultivation of the intermediate True Saint stage…how powerful would it be?” Lin Xun wondered.

But soon, he closed his eyes again and resumed practice.

He had become more proficient in ‘when the three ways are united, the essence of one is formed,’ but he had only just begun creating his own art…

The second month.

Lin Xun suddenly rose to his feet and walked out of the hall.

With just a slight motion, his figure was already silently standing outside the city, without attracting anyone’s attention from beginning to end.

He strolled across the world with a dazed look on his face, occasionally glancing at the sky, occasionally staring at the earth. In his mind, all sorts of insights were gathered together, just like a volcano about to erupt.

Between heaven and earth, he walked with a dazed look on his face. Sometimes he looked at the sky, and sometimes he looked down at the ground. In his mind, all kinds of insights gathered together, ready to be poured out, just like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

It’s here!

He came to a stop.

The sky and the earth were boundless; the universe was vast and the surrounding mountains stretched to the horizon. The wild grass was lush green, spreading endlessly.

After a long moment, Lin Xun leapt into the air.

“Hey!” Someone cried out in surprise in the distance.

Mi Hengzhen, who was leading a group of Ancient Wasteland Domain experts on patrol, suddenly noticed something and peered into the distance.

Immediately, he discovered a majestic figure in midair with his spirit sense. The figure stood atop the clouds and exuded a terrifyingly powerful aura from his flawless jade-like body.

His figure was veiled in magnificent light, illuminating the mountains and rivers, just like a legendary god watching over the world.

The other nearby Ancient Wasteland Domain cultivators were also alarmed, donning surprised and astonished expressions.

Suddenly, the figure moved, balling his hands into fists, and jumped up and threw a punch at the sky!

Crack!

With one punch, the sky almost shattered like a mirror. It suddenly split with countless horrifying cracks that were rapidly spreading in all directions like a cobweb.

The void seemed to be collapsing, about to fall.

Rumble—

Earth-shattering explosions boomed out in all directions. The sound waves alone tore down the mountains and split the earth. Everything in the world seemed unable to bear the force!

It was as if the world was being crushed and destroyed under that punch!

Terrifying!

Unimaginably terrifying! It was hard to imagine what sort of power was contained in that punch to be able to shatter the universe and end all life in the world!

Mi Hengzhen only felt his mind buzzing like crazy, as if he was struck by a bolt of lightning. Everything in front of him started to blur and turned into scenes of utter chaos.

He gasped. What a frightening punch! Even though he was far away, his hair stood on end and a sense of suffocation enveloped him. It was as if the punch directly struck his mind.

As for the other cultivators, all of them were trembling like mad, their bodies drenched in cold sweat, and they seemed to have lost control of their own minds.

“Quick, sit down and meditate immediately! If you can grasp some wonderful secrets from observing that punch then it would have immeasurable benefits on your pursuit of the Saint Dao,” Mi Hengzhen shouted.

Everyone quickly sat cross-legged on the ground.

Mi Hengzhen stared into the distance and sighed in his heart. How far has that guy Lin Xun reached on the Saint Dao?

Meanwhile, Lin Xun felt extremely content. His entire body was filled with power and confidence.

The Nine Heavenshaking Destructions had been integrated into one!

This inheritance art was divided into the Mountain Smashing Destruction, Sea Splitting Destruction, Emptiness Destruction, Soul Shattering Destruction, Dragon Destruction, Phoenix Destruction, Prison Suppressing Destruction, Sky Devouring Destruction and All-Spirits Destruction.

There were nine destruction arts in total, and each one contained ultimate destructive power. It could smash mountains and split seas, suppress prisons and devour the sky. It was inexhaustibly profound and boundlessly powerful.

The most frightening thing was that when one had perfected the nine destruction arts, it was tantamount to mastering the secrets of the great dao. These nine destruction arts could be integrated and their powers combined!

Now that Lin Xun had comprehended all its secrets, he was able to integrate all nine destructive punches into one ultimate punch!

This unstoppable punch could shake the world, frighten divine beings out of their wits and make anyone who dared to oppose it feel tiny and insignificant.

This punch was called the Heavenshaking Punch!

The third month.

Lin Xun practiced the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations, integrating all its secrets into a dragon-shaped tribulation symbol. With one thought and an effortless motion of his hand, he seemed to summon a real dragon out of an abyss, wreaking havoc on the mountains and rivers and unleashing destruction upon the world!
