The Prodigies War

Chapter 823: Invincible

The Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan was colossal with hundreds of thousands of clansmen and forces all over the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Within the tremendous clan, there were quite a few young master-level successors with the title of Thousand Killer just like Gou Xuxing.

Outsiders might not understand, but Gou Xuxing knew very well how fierce and ruthless the competition within the clan was.

If he wanted to stand out among the younger generation, then he needed not only strength but also power!

He had earned his current position in the clan through bloodshed.

He might look dazzling to many people, but he was very clear that once he fell, many people in the clan wouldn’t hesitate to leap forward and kick him to stop him from getting back up.

For example, the two king-level figures, Gou Yangba and Gou Yangtong seemed to be helping him kill Lin Xun, but in truth, they couldn’t wait to see him fail miserably.

The reason was very simple: Gou Yangba and Gou Yangtong were supporters of another Thousand Killer young master, who was a rival of Gou Xuxing!

So, even if Gou Xuxing had suffered serious losses, he would still rather send his own people to hunt down Lin Xun then let Gou Yangba and Gou Yangtong take over.

Because when that happened, he would have no chance of redeeming himself and making a comeback!

“This time…I must win!” Clenching his fists, Gou Xuxing bore a look of determination.

He had calmly analyzed the reason for their last failure and came to a conclusion: they were schemed and tricked. Since he had sent out five half-step kings this time, then Lin Xun would definitely die a graveless death this time.

Gou Xuxing felt that even the so-called peerless genius in the Ancient Wasteland Domain wouldn’t survive the encirclement.

After all, it was a group of half-step kings!

Even if there wasn’t a true king among them, their combined power was terrifying and not any random peerless genius would be able to compete with them.

“Tonight, I will be waiting for the good news and turn the situation around. I won’t let those bastards find any excuses to target me!” he muttered as he inadvertently flickered his gaze over at Gou Yangba and Gou Yangtong.

……

In the mountains.

A fierce battle had broken out. Divine light swept the area, tearing down mountain peaks, splitting the rocks and producing earthshaking rumble.

Boom!

A glistening snow-white blade sped past a rocky mountain, slashing off a chunk of the thousand-foot mountain like slicing tofu.

Lin Xun’s figure maneuvered through the air like a Hornless Ice Dragon, exuding terrifying power.

However, even so, it was still impossible to turn his situation around.

The five half-step kings each mobilized all their strength and brought out all sorts of rare treasures and secret arts. They had surrounded the entire area to prevent Lin Xun from escaping.

Rumble!

Sometimes they fought fiercely above the nine heavens and sometimes they clashed in the vast mountains, destroying one mountain after another and tearing open the earth with terrifying cracks.

Living beings unable to escape in time were crushed on the spot.

It was no doubt an alarming sight. And if it happened in the city, it would be a deadly catastrophe.

“Little bastard, come and die!” Yelling in an ice-cold voice, an old man came charging forward.

He was holding a shining picture scroll that projected images of an orbiting sun, moon and stars and poured out a waterfall of cipher text.

It was a unique and mysterious ancient treasure. When unfolded, it seemed capable of blotting out the sky and the earth and engulfing everything in the world.

On the other side, a built middle-aged man flicked his wrist, and a blood-colored spear sprang up, piercing the air and releasing terrifying destructive power.

Additionally, a golden hammer erupting with lightning came slashing through the air like a thunderbolt striking down from the ninth heaven.

The hammer-wielder turned out to be a slim and graceful woman, but she had an unusually fierce and threatening presence. Blinding bolts of lightning and thunder roamed around her body as though she was a sacred spirit born from a thunderstorm.

On the periphery stood a man in a scholarly robe. He wore the calmest of expressions while a golden lamp was suspended in the palm of his hand.

The golden lamp looked simple and unadorned yet it was incredibly magnificent. As the flame flickered, thousands of tiny sparks drifted out and merged to form a golden flame dragon, covering the entire area.

From a height, it looked like a spectacular scene of thousands of golden lights blooming.

The man in the scholar robe was arranging a formation to prevent Lin Xun from escaping.

How would Lin Xun not feel tremendous pressure in the face of such a line-up? His expression turned more serious than ever.

He had slaughtered half-step kings in the past, but that was with the help of No-Nonsense Bow and Biluo Arrow.

They helped him kill a half-step king of the Magi Brute Race on the Blood Kill Battlefield and he killed Grand Supreme Elder Sun Huan from the Spirit Pearl Sect not too long ago.

But he had never had to face a half-step king head-on.

Today, after comprehending the power of Dao Meaning and reaching the perfect state of the Heaven Ascension Stage, he decided to confront the half-step kings alone.

However, there were five half-step kings!

He felt a mountainous weight bearing down on him under such pressure. It was difficult to break out of the encirclement let alone kill several enemies!

If the Hornless Ice Dragon Step hadn’t transformed in power after integrating with the Dao Meaning of Water, then he most likely would have sustained heavy injuries already!

But regardless, he still withstood the suppression!

Moreover, in the fierce battle, he was sharpening, improving and integrating the nameless inheritance of the dao rune array with the Dao Meaning of Water to perform the new Spirit Control Art of the Broken Blade. The Broken Blade slowly began to show the true power of a spirit weapon!

Spirit weapon!

They were one of the rarest secret treasures in the world. Not even real kings were able to own one easily. In ancient times, there had been many unbelievable and terrifying rumors about spirit weapons.

Some sages in ancient times were able to split heaven and earth, destroy the universe and disrupt the yin and yang when they wielded a spirit weapon!

Despite being damaged, the Broken Blade was still a real spirit weapon, but its potential had been limited by Lin Xun’s cultivation, and it had never shown its real power!

That had changed.

After Lin Xun comprehended the Dao Meaning of Water, his control of Broken Blade also started to change.

Rumble!

Clasping a blood-colored spear, the built middle-aged man smashed through the air towards him with terrifying murderous intent.

With a boom, the Broken Blade whirled in the air, emitting a wondrous white light. Although it was blasted back a little, it still dissolved the incoming attack.

The middle-aged man frowned in disbelief.

Five half-step kings had joined hands, yet they were unable to kill a teenager at the Heaven Ascension Stage. It was too unbelievable.

Even if this matter spread out, no one would believe it!

Besides him, the other four half-step kings were unable to remain calm or stop their expressions from changing when they looked at Lin Xun.

How could there be such an abnormal freak?

He was so young, and his cultivation was only at the Heaven Ascension Stage, but he was able to hold out against the encirclement of five half-step kings. His strength could only be described as heaven-defying.

Even the peerless geniuses among the younger generation of the four worlds of the Ancient Wasteland wouldn’t be able to do so unless they were equipped with a heaven-defying secret treasure or weapon.

But the teenager was able to do so!

If the matter spread out, then his achievement would undoubtedly cause a sensation.

“Kill!”

The old man holding the painting scroll suddenly thundered, “We must not let that kid live, otherwise, not only will Young Master suffer, but our clan may also be threatened in the future!”

Rumble!

The old man’s power soared as the scroll expanded across the world. The orbiting of the sun, moon and stars produced a terrifying force of obliteration.

At the same time, the other four half-step kings all realized the seriousness of the situation.

Based on the kid’s strength and foundation, there was no doubt that he would become a formidable enemy once he grew up!

“Kill!”

Murderous rage filled their eyes, and they each brought out their trump cards. Suddenly, divine light beamed and precious treasures flew into the sky, illuminating the whole world.

Lin Xun’s black eyes flashed coldly as he chuckled, “Do you think you can still kill me now?”

“It’s too late!” As he roared, his body rumbled and pale azure light spread outwards from him.

He was akin to a great azure sun shining alone on earth.

Within his body, his energy, spirit and qi were burning to an unprecedented state of perfection, but the power of his primordial spirit was as calm and clear as ice.

It was a kind of ultimate power. The Sacred Combat Art and Yazi’s Rage were madly activated, allowing his power to soar at an astonishing speed.

“You…” The old man’s pupils shrank and his face paled. He was completely shaken. It never crossed his mind that a teenager could erupt with such earthshaking powers.

Shua!

The illusionary and ethereal whiter-than-snow Broken Blade flitted about. Unlike before, the countless cryptic dao runes were apparent on its surface.

Its terrifying aura dimmed the world and made it whimper.

The old man’s expression changed once again. He exhausted all his strength to defend against the blade.

Chi!

The painting scroll was torn in half in his hand like a cloth.

Then, a shiver ran down his spine, and his head was hurled into the air.

What amazing power!

Even the old man’s primordial spirit was obliterated at the same time. The power of the dao runes across the Broken Blade was so terrifying that it seemed capable of destroying everything.

Everything happened too quickly. No one could believe that a single blade could unleash such world-shattering divine powers!

What was invincible?

This was!

Even half-step kings had failed to fend off the blade and lost to it!
