Chapter 1629: Furnace Destroys all Arts

Yin Huan looked unfazed.

As the ‘Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield’, it only made sense for Lin Xun to block Ao Zhentian’s blow. Otherwise, he did not deserve his fame at all.

But Ao Zhentian narrowed his eyes and thundered. “The secret of the True Dragon. Thief, how dare you cultivate the dao of my clan?!”

What?

Yin Huan was flabbergasted

The True Dragon Grand Dao was a grand dao power that exclusively belonged to the True Dragon Clan. Lin Xun was clearly from the human race, so how could he comprehend and master this grand dao power?

So unusual!

Lin Xun turned around and said calmly, “The True Dragon Grand Dao is only one of the thousands of daos in the world. Why can’t I cultivate it?”

Ao Zhentian’s handsome face instantly darkened and murderous intent blazed in his eyes. “I understand, you practice the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations. Only that will allow a despicable thief like you to steal the power of the True Dragon Grand Dao!”

Yin Huan thought hard. She never expected there to be such an inheritance art in this world.

“Despicable? Thief? Steal?” Lin Xun’s black eyes shone coldly.

He put his hands behind his back and looked straight at Ao Zhentian. “Do you think I don’t dare to slay a dragon?”

As he spoke, he moved one step forward, and his aura started to rumble around him, as if his body had transformed into a furnace that could incinerate all things in the universe. A terrifying power spread outwards from him, making the entire void whimper and wail.

Compared to his previous plain and quiet appearance, he seemed to have become a completely different person!

Yin Huan’s expression tensed up. So strong!

“Slay a dragon? You must have a death wish!” Ao Zhentian roared.

His tall and built figure was like a true dragon as his aura swept heaven and earth.

The phenomenon of a starry sky appeared overhead with a true dragon roaming within it. Its body stretched infinitely, pulverizing billions of stars along the way.

Shua!

A claw slashed through the air in the direction of Lin Xun.

The dao rune scales that covered the hand produced a dazzling sheen in the air. Its unrivaled power and sharpness threatened to tear apart the heavens and the earth and disrupt the yin and yang.

The aura radiating from it was enough to instill fear in many supreme Saints!

So terrifying!

Its overbearing presence would make anyone feel like a tiny ant battling against a real dragon in the sky. It had a great deterrent effect.

Lin Xun’s face remained expressionless, and he did not so much as glance at the incoming attack. The Great Dao Furnace Art was projected in his heart, refining the essence of all daos and deriving the wonders of all arts.

He casually stretched out one hand.

Boom!

The image of a furnace took shape in midair—boundlessly huge and exuding the power to suppress all ages and stand for eternity.

The Great Dao Furnace Art!

This was also the first time that Lin Xun used it in battle after creating it.

Instantly, the power of Ao Zhentian’s grasp collapsed with an ear-splitting roar.

The furnace continued unabated.

Upon a closer look, the furnace radiated a vast and grand feeling.

Within the furnace, various grand daos were integrating together. The cycle of yin and yang qi gave birth to the supreme ultimate while the combination of fire and water formed suppleness and strength. The immortal true dragon roamed in the abyss, while the secrets of star annihilation hid deep inside of the furnace!

The surface of the furnace was imprinted with all kinds of unique arts, including a heaven shaking fist art and an art that controlled billions of sword qi.

A single furnace contained all the mysteries of the great dao!

However, only Lin Xun could truly understand and grasp the secrets and visions within and around it. In other people’s eyes, the furnace had only one feature—

It was indestructible!

Ao Zhentian was blasted away by the furnace before he could react, slamming hard into the wall. Blood spurted out from his mouth and nostrils.

His body-protection power surged violently. If not for this, then the blow would have inflicted severe damage to him.

What art is that?

Yin Huan finally lost her calm. Her beautiful eyes widened with astonishment.

That single strike was imbued with countless mysteries. Even if she was only watching on the sides, an indescribable feeling of amazement still filled her.

Previously, although she acknowledged Lin Xun’s status as ‘Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield’, as someone ranked ninth on the Starry Sky Talented Beauty Rankings, she could not say that she was afraid of him or admired him.

But now, she realized that she had underestimated the Ancient Wasteland Domain, and she had also underestimated Lin Xun!

“Wonderful!” Mister Miaoxuan exclaimed in his heart.

At first, he was a little worried when Lin Xun clashed with Ao Zhentian. After all, the latter came from the Ancient Nebula Road and was a direct descendant of the True Dragon Clan. His background was terrifyingly strong.

But now it seemed that Lin Xun was in no way inferior and perhaps even above him!

“Is a pure-blood descendant of the true dragon so pathetic?” Lin Xun’s indifferent voice broke the silence.

In the distance, Ao Zhentian got up from the ground, his impressive figure bathed in a divine glow. Based on appearance, his injuries were not serious at all.

But that blow made him feel humiliated and disgraced!

In the Ancient Nebula Road, he might not be the most powerful person, but he was still a dazzling renowned figure with the potential to be invincible.

But now, in the Ancient Wasteland Domain that he completely looked down on, he was sent flying by one strike. He felt his honor and dignity had taken a violent beating.

He shouted, “Come again!”

He was not clouded by anger. On the contrary, the blow made him realize that he must not underestimate his opponent and decided to unleash his true power.

Boom!

As he charged forward, mysterious dao patterns emerged with every step and blazing light radiated from his body.

“Rising dragon in the sky!”

As his body stretched out, clouds and mist swirled into the air and divine light surged like waves. It was as though a true dragon was riding the clouds and speeding across the sky.

But before he could get close to Lin Xun, he was blasted back once again by the shadow of a furnace. He stumbled back, hair flying everywhere and his muscles and bones rattled as if unable to withstand the force.

“He…” Yin Huan’s beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.

She knew well how powerful and terrifying Ao Zhentian’s background and strength were. None of his peers could possibly block his ferocious attack.

But in front of Lin Xun, he looked rather miserable!

“However strong you are, there is always someone stronger. It’s just that...Lin Xun’s strength seems to defy heaven. One furnace stands for eternity, defeating all arts!” Mister Miaoxian’s countenance changed.

“Is this someone who plans to tackle the Starry Sky True Saint Rankings?” Lin Xun spoke again.

But his tone and words were full of undisguised sarcasm.

Ao Zhentian felt light-headed and furious after being consecutively defeated. The feeling was worse than being slapped twice in the face.

“Come again!” Ao Zhentian roared like an enraged angry dragon. The pair of dragon horns on the top of his head emitted the wondrous and obscure light of dao runes, and his body was covered with dragon scales.

His aura grew increasingly more intense!

Moreover, he had activated a secret inheritance art of the True Dragon Clan. His every movement contained unparalleled astonishing power that could shatter and crush everything in his way.

However, regardless of how strong he was or what wonderful inheritance arts he had, Lin Xun defeated him with the same move every single time!

A grand furnace. It was simple, direct, and one of a kind. Its wonder was at its peak, and its terror was also at its peak.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In just a few moments, he had knocked Ao Zhentian down several times again and gave him no chance to fight back at all.

Yin Huan was dumbstruck, her emotions tumbling like the sea in her heart!

How could Lin Xun be so strong?

In the Ancient Nebula Road, powerful supreme Saints like Lin Xun were incredibly rare, and if they came into the world, they would surely make it onto the Starry Sky True Saint Rankings and become an invincible figure that shook the starry sky!

Yin Huan never expected to encounter such a peerless character in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

“Come again!”

At this moment, Ao Zhentian already looked disheveled and tragic, with his clothes torn, body split with many wounds, and his face marred with blood.

He was a sorry sight.

“You should know that if I wanted to kill you, I do not need to wait until now. If you don’t know what’s good for you then you deserve to die,” Lin Xun uttered coldly.

They were in the Divine Apparatus Pavilion. Although Mister Miaoxuan had not interfered, Lin Xun was sure that if he revealed his intention to kill Ao Zhentian, he would definitely not just stand and watch.

As expected, Mister Miaoxuan intervened. He placed a hand on Ao Zhentian’s shoulder and said aloud, “Seventh Prince, that’s enough.”

Ao Zhentian’s eyes became red and bloodshot, but in the end, he drew a few deep breaths to suppress his anger. He glowered at Lin Xun for a long while before he stormed off with a flick of his sleeve.

He had been utterly humiliated, so how could he stay around anymore?

He was not stupid. Of course, he knew that Lin Xun would absolutely kill him without hesitation if Mister Miaoxuan was not present!

“Damn it! How would such a heaven-defying character emerge in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, and who taught him the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations? That’s a secret left by the ancestors of our clan...”

Ao Zhentian’s heart was in a tumult.

The defeat was such a huge blow that it made him mentally unstable. He needed some time to calm himself.

……

As Ao Zhentian left the hall, the atmosphere changed.

Yin Huan’s gaze was complicated. The way she looked at Lin Xun also changed. Ao Zhentian’s tragic defeat had a fundamental impact on her.

She simply could not believe that a character like Lin Xun would be born in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. This completely turned everything she knew on its head.

If she had known that Lin Xun was such a remarkable character, then she would not have disregarded him like she did before.

Unfortunately, it was too late to change anything now.

“Lin Xun, you are not at fault for what happened, but if you go to the Ancient Nebula Road in the future, you must be careful,” Mister Miaoxuan advised.

Lin Xun nodded.

It was just Ao Zhentian, and even if the entire True Dragon Clan was standing behind him, Lin Xun would not be afraid or feel uneasy because of it.

“Actually, you have misunderstood. Young Master Ao came here to take Miss Jingxuan back to the True Dragon Clan. They are cousins and are related by blood, so he definitely will not harm her,” Yin Huan suddenly said aloud. “If possible, I hope that you graciously help Young Master Ao this one time. As they say, it is better to be friends than foes. Perhaps you can take this opportunity to improve the relationship between you and Young Master Ao.”

Lin Xun directly refused, “This is just what Young Master Ao wants. Unless Jingxuan is willing to return with him, no one can force her.”

Yin Huan let out a soft sigh. She was in no mood to stay any longer, so she turned around and left the hall.

In her heart, a faint hint of regret floated up, but she quickly erased it.

She came from the Ancient Nebula Road. While Lin Xun might possess extraordinary talents and an exceptional foundation, but since he was born in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, he might never be able to reach this vast world in the future.

After all, not everyone was qualified to go to the Ancient Nebula Road!
