The Prodigies War-Chapter 2284 The Tribulation of an Emperor-grade Weapon

Ten days later.

In the secret realm, amidst swirling light and shadow, dozens of fist-sized, multicolored clusters of liquid light floated within the All-Wonder Dao Fire, radiating a misty glow.

At this moment, Lin Xun felt a weight lifting off his shoulders.

The smelting process was a success. Dozens of Emperor-grade weapons, each imbued with unique and mysterious powers, had been refined into a single, unified liquid divine material!

Lin Xun turned his gaze toward Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor in the distance just as she flicked her sleeve. The clusters of divine light instantly flew toward him. “I’ve been waiting for you,” she said

“Thank you, Elder.” Lin Xun’s spirits lifted as he carefully stored the divine materials.

Without delay, he retrieved a handful of divine herbs and elixirs, sat cross-legged, and began to replenish his depleted strength.

A full day later, Lin Xun rose to his feet, power surging through his body once more.

Without hesitation, he began the true process of forging his weapon.

Boom!

The All-Wonder Dao Fire roared to life, transforming into a blazing furnace that radiated an aura powerful enough to incinerate heaven and earth.

Lin Xun’s dark eyes gleamed like lightning as he stood, calm and transcendent. With a wave of his sleeve, the liquified divine materials surged into the All-Wonder Dao Fire, merging seamlessly into the raging flames.

“Rise!”

Behind him, a world of light and shadow unfolded. It was vast and magnificent, and within it, countless great daos emerged, projecting the sun, moon, stars, the cosmos stretching infinitely, mountains and rivers flowing endlessly, and the four seasons cycling in harmony...

This was the pinnacle manifestation of his cultivation.

Even from a distance, Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor, Xi, and Big Yellow couldn’t hide their astonishment.

This was the first time they had witnessed Lin Xun’s true foundation. If they hadn’t seen it for themselves, they would have struggled to believe that a young cultivator at the third realm Emperor Stage could possess such a profound and unshakable foundation!

It was too powerful!

It defied all logic and overturned their understanding of the world completely.

Only Xia Zhi and Luo Jia remained indifferent. The former had never paid attention to such matters, while the latter, due to her limited cultivation, failed to grasp just how heaven-defying and terrifying Lin Xun’s foundation and cultivation truly were.

Boom!

At this moment, Lin Xun’s cultivation suddenly roared, evolving into intricate formations of dao runes. Within them, various dharma arts took shape as rune symbols, interweaving in a profound and mysterious manner.

I will use my dao as the formation, my Dharma as the pattern!

“So, this boy’s mastery in the art of runes...has already reached an unfathomable level. It’s as if he has seized the very essence of creation itself...”

Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor’s gaze flickered. As the innate dao fire of the Treasure Refining Furnace, she naturally possessed a deep understanding of the mysteries of dao runes.

Yet it was precisely because she understood so much that she found herself deeply astonished.

Xi and Big Yellow also watched in amazement, their thoughts mirroring those of the Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Dao runes, the veins of the great dao, were imprinted upon all phenomena and existences in the universe, revealing its most fundamental mysteries.

From the smallest veins on a blade of grass to the vast structures that shaped the world, traces of the most primordial great dao could be found everywhere..

Since ancient times, one unshakable truth had remained—

Those who have grasped dao runes could unlock the mysteries of the heavens and earth!

Clearly, Lin Xun’s mastery over runes had long surpassed that of ordinary dao rune founders, reaching an unfathomable and near-miraculous level!

Suddenly, he called out, “Little Five!”

Shua!

The child-like array spirit emerged in an instant. With just a quick glance, it understood everything. Without hesitation, it took control of the dao rune array that Lin Xun had laid out, seamlessly integrating the divine materials within the roaring All-Wonder Dao Fire.

There was no doubt that Little Five was worthy of being the array spirit of the All-Heaven Fifth Array. Its skills in rune arrays were unparalleled and each movement was precise without the slightest flaw.

Seeing this, Lin Xun felt reassured. Without distractions, he focused entirely on refining the weapon embryo!

Time flew by, and before he knew it, another half a month had passed.

“Hmm?” On this day, Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor seemed to sense something. She glanced at Lin Xun who was still deeply engrossed in refining the weapon in the distance, but she didn’t disturb him.

With a turn, she vanished from the hall and entered the depths of the sea of ​​fire beneath the secret realm.

In the bubbling molten lava, a fiery red, glowing egg rested quietly. Purple flames danced around its surface, radiating a faint, rhythmic pulse like the breath of life.

“Are you finally awakening?” Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor’s voice trembled with excitement as she gazed at the egg.

For countless years, she had stood guard here, waiting for the awakening of the legendary Celestial Phoenix Progenitor Ancestor from the egg.

She murmured, “Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one will disturb your rebirth from the ashes.”

......

Meanwhile, in the secret realm, Lian Jiuxiao hurriedly arrived, as if something urgent had happened.

However, when he saw the look of focus on Lin Xun’s face, he hesitated. Then, he noticed Xi, Big Yellow, and Xia Zhi, and he looked a little puzzled.

“You are...?” he asked.

Big Yellow raised its paw, gesturing toward Lin Xun with a slightly modest expression. It coughed and said, “We...are his elders.”

Xi remained indifferent, saying nothing.

Xia Zhi glanced at Big Yellow and added, “Your master is Lin Xun’s senior brother. So, you are Lin Xun’s junior.”

Big Yellow rolled its eyes, too lazy to argue with Xia Zhi, and narrowed its eyes at Lian Jiuxiao before asking, “Did something happen?”

Lian Jiuxiao hesitated for a moment then quickly explained, “The White Tiger and Black Tortoise Clans launched an attack not long ago. The Celestial Phoenix Clan’s patriarch has instructed me to inform Fellow Daoist Lin to be cautious from now on.

“But Fellow Daoist Lin needn’t worry, unless things escalate to a final battle, there shouldn’t be any real danger.”

Big Yellow nodded. “Got it. You can go back and tell Huang Cangtian that with us around, nothing bad will happen to this kid.”

To their surprise, at this moment, Lin Xun suddenly spoke up, “Big Yellow, you, Xi, and Xia Zhi go to the outside world to assist. You don’t need to guard this place.”

Big Yellow was baffled, Xi was also caught off guard, and Xia Zhi furrowed her brow.

“That’s not necessary. The battle has just begun,” Lian Jiuxiao said, thinking that relying on only two women and a dog wouldn’t change much.

“Let’s go.” Xi urged, heading straight for the exit of the secret realm.

Lin Xun was in the midst of a critical moment in refining the weapon and could not afford distractions.

Xia Zhi followed closely behind, clearly giving great importance to Lin Xun’s instructions.

Only Big Yellow was irritated, muttering, “They already told us not to help but you guys are rushing to the front lines. Aren’t you making things difficult for yourself...Huh, wait a minute, the White Tiger Clan and the Black Tortoise Clan...”

Suddenly, Big Yellow’s eyes gleamed, as if an enticing thought crossed its mind and saliva began to drip from its mouth.

In the blink of an eye, it hurried to catch up with them.

“Wait...” Lian Jiuxiao was taken aback for a moment before hurrying off in a rush.

“Little Five, don’t get distracted!” Lin Xun reminded the array spirit sharply.

It had already taken ten days to smelt the divine materials, and now, another half month had passed while setting up the formation and refining the weapon embryo.

Now was the critical moment in refining the weapon and there was no room for error.

Although Lin Xun knew that war was likely breaking out in the outside world, he had to set aside all distractions and focus entirely on forging the weapon.

Little Five also understood this and immediately focused all his attention on controlling the dao rune array.

Rumble—

The All-Wonder Dao Fire roared like thunder, showering the area with an endless cascade of flames. Gradually, a vague outline of an Emperor weapon embryo began to take shape amidst the fire. Countless dao runes symbols flickered, adding to the air of mystery and radiance.

This was undoubtedly the most strenuous experience Lin Xun had ever endured in his weapon forging journey. Sweat formed at the tip of his nose and his face turned slightly pale.

The drain on his physical energy was immense, but the toll on his mental energy was even greater!

At this critical juncture, the air within the secret realm suddenly grew heavy, and waves of tribulation aura surged, gathering like a chilling wind.

“Oh no! That’s a taboo tribulation that targets Emperor-grade weapons!”

At the deepest part of the sea of ​​fire beneath the secret realm, Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor turned ashen-faced as she suddenly raised her head, sensing the ominous aura.

She was all too familiar with that aura.

A long time ago, when the Treasure Refining Furnace had crafted Kunlun’s nine Emperor weapons, it too had faced such a taboo tribulation. In the end, the furnace was forced to sacrifice itself to protect the weapons from the tribulation, allowing them to fully transform.

The Treasure Refining Furnace was also completely destroyed at that time, leaving behind nothing but a copper piece!

Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor never expected that Lin Xun would encounter such a taboo tribulation when forging his own life-bound Emperor weapon. Worry gripped her heart, but she knew she could not leave.

The Celestial Phoenix Progenitor Ancestor was showing signs of awakening, and she could not leave at such a crucial moment.

“Young man, you must hold on,” she silently prayed.

The tribulation clouds were dense and dark as ink, emerging out of nowhere, bypassing the restrictions that enveloped the secret realm.

Lin Xun’s expression turned solemn.

He was also caught off guard for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and said firmly, “Little Five, please step aside. I’ll handle this myself!”

Little Five hesitated, a worried expression flickering across his face. “But...”

“Now!” Lin Xun’s resolute voice left no room for argument.

Reluctantly, Little Five darted away. In an instant, Lin Xun’s figure blurred as his five dao bodies emerged at the same time.

The Red Flame Dao Body assisted the main body in controlling the All-Wonder Dao Fire, while the Green Wood Dao Body and Black Water Dao Body manipulated the dao rune array. The White Metal Dao Body and the Yellow Earth Dao Body focused on refining the weapon embryo together.

At this moment, Lin Xun pushed his strength to the absolute limit, and a fierce, determined glint flashed in his dark eyes.

He knew he must not fail!

Otherwise, all the effort, the Kunlun nine Emperor weapons, dozens of other precious Emperor-grade weapons as well as the copper piece would be lost, completely destroyed!

Lin Xun took a deep breath and said, “Let’s see whether my unformed life-bound Emperor weapon is stronger, or whether your tribulation power is greater!”

Boom!

The tribulation clouds churned ominously, and suddenly a tribulation spear manifested, descending with terrifying force toward the weapon embryo within the All-Wonder Dao Fire.

The flames of the All-Wonder Dao Fire trembled violently, as if on the brink of collapse, while the weapon embryo, still in its unformed state, let out a heart-wrenching cry.

Lin Xun, controlling both his true body and the five dao bodies, was also caught in the impact. He was struck so hard that he nearly coughed up blood.

A flash of shock and horror crossed his brows. How is the power of this tribulation so strong and destructive?
