Chapter 1680: Like Being Possessed by a Spirit

Sunset Current Valley.

It looked like a valley, but in fact it was a small world of its own.

In this world, all vegetation and trees were golden in color and shone like flames. The mountains and rivers were burning, and molten lava spewed from the earth everywhere.

Rows upon rows of golden ancient buildings were suspended in midair. A golden crow flapped its huge wings and glided across the sky

This was the lair of the Golden Crow Clan which had existed since ancient times. They had a terrifyingly long history and past.

But today, a scene of chaos broke out.

Rumble!

Waves after waves of deafening rumbles sent this little world into turmoil. Many Golden Crow Clan experts panicked.

“What is going on?”

Gasps and cries of alarm filled the world, and an unknown number of figures rushed out from different areas. Most of them were juniors and servants of the Golden Crow Clan.

“Heavens! It’s a heavenly tribulation!”

“How…how is that possible?”

Soon, many Golden Crow Clan experts spotted the tremendous waterfall-like tribulation looming above the entrance of the Sunset Current Valley.

Arrows of tribulation lightning as thick as buckets and as swift as dragons rained down wherever they passed and took the shape of various things.

Everyone shuddered at the earthshaking scene and stared wide-eyed as if they were watching doomsday come.

“How could this be?”

Many people were frightened and confused.

This was Sunset Current Valley, the territory of their Golden Crow Clan. Throughout the years, when had such a terrible incident ever happened?

In the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain, who would dare to come offend them?

No one!

Therefore, when the Golden Crow Clan experts who had lived in Sunset Current Valley for generations saw the tribulation come at them they were all stunned into disbelief.

Someone howled, “Where is the patriarch and the elders? Why didn’t they stop it?”

A disastrous tribulation had descended. How could the old monsters in the clan not know about it?

“Quick! Activate the Saint formation!” bellowed a cultivator of the older generation.

But more people were fleeing in disarray, because the lightning tribulation was already sweeping through the valley like a thunderstorm.

Rumble!

This was a Big Saint Tribulation that targeted supreme figures like Lin Xun. It could obliterate a perfect Big Saint expert like Wu Hengzhen, let alone others?

As the lightning tribulation rolled over Sunset Current Valley, countless cultivators were killed and dissipated from the world.

Various buildings, mountains, vegetation, paved pathways, medicinal gardens...were reduced to nothing under the lighting tribulation.

Blood-curdling screams, anguished wails, panicked cries, and howls for help rang incessantly.

Heaven and earth quaked with scenes of chaos and devastation everywhere!

At this moment, whether it was the ordinary Golden Crow Clan experts or old monsters of the Saint Stage, all were frightened out of their wits.

Where was Wu Hengtian?

He was also fleeing for his life. Leading a group of big shots of the Golden Crow Clan, he darted towards the forbidden area of the Sacred Fusang Tree at full speed.

As for everything else, he could not care at all!

Now, Wu Yazi was dead, so the Golden Crow Clan had lost a strong pillar, and the two remaining Saint-Kings, Wu Fengzi and Wu Lingzi, were suppressing the evil creature under the Sacred Fusang Tree.

Only once he reached there would there be hope of reversing the situation!

……

In the distance, Lin Xun controlled the tribulation lightning and pursued his enemies relentlessly.

He was like the God of Destruction, accompanied by mighty lightning wherever he went, countless Golden Crow Clan experts.

Walls of Saint arrays emerged, strong and sturdy, but before Lin Xun, they were as weak as paper. They were directly crushed by the tribulation lightning and annihilated in the explosions.

So powerful!

Lin Xun, wielding the power of the heavenly tribulation, was like a god punishing the world on behalf of the heavens!

Toady, A’lu, Shaohao and the others who were following after him couldn’t help but look utterly dumbfounded at the scene. Blood pulsed around their bodies.

Vaguely, it seemed as if they had returned to the days of fighting on the Nine Domains Battlefield!

“Kill!” A’lu yelled as he charged forward with an iron rod in his hand, exuding an aura that could conquer mountains and rivers.

Rumble!

With a wide sweep of his rod, golden crows that could not flee in time were smashed into pulp, and the ground split and crumbled.

“How can I, Jin Duyi, miss out on this grand event?” Toady licked his lips and, with a swoosh, he teleported across the void. He radiated a terrifying power that could engulf the sun and moon.

“Hahaha, everyone, it’s time to take action. We can’t let Lin Xun steal the limelight!” Shaohao laughed as he soared into the air.

Immediately after that, Ruowu, Xiao Cangtian, Ye Chen, Yue Jianming, Chi Lingxiao, Yuan Fatian, Little Golden Winged Dapeng King and other supreme True Saints sprang into action.

True Saints were already regarded as overlord-like figures in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, let alone a group of supreme True Saints who were forged from a dangerous place such as the Nine Domains Battlefield.

For a moment, in Sunset Current Valley, sword qi beamed across like rainbows, swords and blades roared incessantly, all kinds of world-shaking arts swept the sky, and precious treasures glowed brilliantly.

The little golden world became filled with smoke, chaos and bloodshed!

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

Surging killing intent flooded the world.

At this moment, Lin Xun arrived in the area where the Sacred Fusang Tree stood.

……

The mountains were of imposing height, the air was saturated with primordial chaos qi, and a fine rain of fire light drifted around. This was truly a sacred place like an everlasting pure land.

An ancient tree towered into the sky, taking roots in front of a majestic mountain. Its trunk was as strong as the body of a horned dragon, and its entire body seemed to be made out of gold, burning with fierce flames.

Every leaf looked like a sun hanging from the branches, shining brightly and emitting a flowing waterfall of fire essence.

The Sacred Fusang Tree!

It was a sacred tree that was well-known throughout the Ancient Wasteland Domain ever since the ancient times. It was born from the source of the Samadhi True Fire, and it was known as one of the Four Sacred Trees along with the Cangwu, Jianmu and Kunwu trees.

Rumor had it that the Great Sun True Flames, which was created by the founder of the Golden Crow Clan, originated from the natural dao runes in the Sacred Fusang Tree.

Upon Lin Xun’s arrival, figures flickered across the area, and all masters and elite cultivators of the Golden Crow Clan appeared, including Wu Hengtian and other Big Saint old monsters.

In addition, there were two Saint-Kings.

One was a young man dressed in all black and with a bewitchingly handsome face. His pair of golden eyes gleamed like glass.

The other was a middle-aged man in a blue robe with the demeanor of a transcendent being.

The former was Wu Fengzi and the latter was Wu Lingzi. They both had been overseeing Sunset Current Valley for who knows how many years, and like Wu Yazi, they were regarded as pillars of the Golden Crow Clan.

“Is it this kid?” Wu Fengzi asked, his voice as sharp and threatening as the sound of a sword.

“Yes, that’s the little bastard!” Wu Hengtian’s expression was livid, and his eyes were bloodshot.

In the distance, Lin Xun came to a halt. At this point, the devoured power of the unparalleled tribulation had all been exhausted.

Whether or not he possessed that heavenly punishment power anymore did not matter.

“It seems that the strongest left in Sunset Current Valley now is only at the Saint-King Stage...”

Lin Xun calmly scanned the group.

Even if he was facing two Saint-Kings and a group of high-ranking members of the Golden Crow Clan, he showed not a tinge of fear.

“Little bastard, that evil beast has been suppressed and can no longer help you. Don’t you understand your current situation?” Wu Hengtian gritted his teeth.

Lin Xun was indeed aware of this. When he was outside Sunset Current Valley, he sensed the No-Nonsense Bow calling out to his weapon spirit.

This calling allowed the No-Nonsense Bow to erupt with unprecedented ferocious power and forced Wu Yazi to flee in terror before finally being killed.

However, just after killing Wu Yazi, this coordination vanished. From this, it could be inferred that the weapon spirit of No-Nonsense Bow had encountered trouble.

Although Lin Xun was aware of the situation, he did not lose his nerve. Instead, there was a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. “Funny. Do you think I came here just to rescue Elder?”

After a pause, he assumed a cold expression. “Now that it’s come to this point, I might as well say it bluntly, today, Sunset Current Valley will be removed from the Ancient Wasteland Domain!”

“Ridiculous!” Wu Fengzi roared in fury.

The terrifying power of the Saint-King Stage came crashing down at Lin Xun like a landslide.

But to everyone’s surprise, Lin Xun stood motionlessly and did not budge an inch!

The terrifying power that could crush all Big Saints faded without a trace the moment it neared Lin Xun.

Everyone’s expression tensed.

At this moment, with a clear clang, a divine sword shrouded in strange black mist appeared in Lin Xun’s grip.

The sword was eerie and enshrouded in jet-black light, as if it housed a door that led to hell inside. The mere sight of it was enough to send one trembling with fear.

It was the Xiantian Saint Weapon he had seized from Underworld Son—Abi Sword!

At the same time, Lin Xun’s aura changed and his figure became illusory, with wisps of obscure dao light swirling around him. An invisible power immediately filled the world with a menacing atmosphere.

Even Saint-Kings such as Wu Fengzi and Wu Lingzi could not help but turn pale.

What a terrifying aura!

How could someone who had just set foot into the Big Saint Stage possess that?

At this moment, Lin Xun looked as aloof as a cliff, as cold as snow, and in his expression lurked a faint intent of conquering the world!

However, he was smiling wryly in his heart.

This was because at this moment, the mysterious woman called ‘Xi’ had already taken control of him.

Xi had deemed the situation unworthy of her coming in person...

Then, Lin Xun came to discover that he had been controlled by a mysterious force.

The feeling was mysterious and bizarre.

It felt like he was an outsider, a spectator.

But he could feel all the wonderful changes happening in him.

It was as though...he was being possessed by a spirit!

“Fight!”

Sensing the strange change in Lin Xun’s aura, Wu Fengzi and Wu Lingzi exchanged a glance and launched into attack.

They immediately activated the power of the Great Dao Field!

A Great Dao Field of azure flames enveloped the sky and the earth. It was the Azure Flame Dao Field of Wu Fengzi!

Buzz!

A golden flame-like leaf drifted across the air and suddenly grew in size. The veins on the leaf crisscrossed like a network of great dao laws, forming a tremendous Great Dao Field.

Fire Leaf Golden Field!

This was one of Wu Lingzi’s remarkable abilities.

A Great Dao Field was the embodiment of one’s cultivation, similar to opening up a small world between heaven and earth, and a Saint-King was the master of it all, wielding absolute power over life and death!
