The Prodigies War-Chapter 2743 It Must be the Work of A Drunken Immortal!

What Fu Wenli, Qi Xiaoyun, and the other prominent figures who had spoken up were implying was unmistakable: Lin Xun was definitely going to perish during this tribulation.

The rest of the crowd could not remain calm after their remarks.

“How could this be...?” A wave of disappointment washed over those who had hoped to witness Lin Xun's ascension to immortality.

“I knew it would be like that!” others sneered as they inwardly rejoiced.

Lin Xun's performance during the tribulation had repeatedly shaken their minds, and they knew full well that he would only blossom with unparalleled brilliance if his ascension succeeded. Thankfully, that will never happen!

By this point, experts like Qin Wuyu, Xiao Wenyuan, and Li Zhen also felt uncertain and full of shock. The power of the tribulation mandate had reached a level of monstrosity beyond comprehension, which scared even them. They were unable to imagine how Lin Xun could possibly overcome this ordeal.

Jintian Xuanyue's face was deathly pale as all the blood in her ran cold. Her lips were tightly pressed together, tension taking over her entire being. Xuan Jiuyin wanted to comfort her, but no words came out because he too was paralyzed by the terror of the tribulation. He felt as though his heart was being clenched in a giant fist!

Amidst the turmoil of emotions rippling through the crowd, no one saw what was happening with the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron shrouded by the ocean of petals. Inside it, a drop of crimson blood had consolidated. Submerged in the mystical law power of Nirvana, that single drop shook as if boiling.

Pop!

With an almost quiet sound, the drop of blood burst and formed countless threads, which then laced themselves with the Nirvana law power. Gradually, they outlined a figure that was faint to the point of illusory.

It was clearly Lin Xun! Unfortunately, the heavy tribulation petals made it impossible for the outside to see into the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron and get a glimpse of this marvelous scene.

He was sitting cross-legged, his figure extremely unstable like a bubble that could pop at any moment. The boundless Nirvana law power drew over the petals it had confined near the sword cauldron, refining them one by one into a pure and abundant vitality that he proceeded to greedily absorb.

Condensed from those arcane, forbidden texts on the primal chaos mandate, these petals contained overwhelming tribulation power. In short, the petals were tribulation lightning at their core, representing the mandate of Heaven. It was just that this power was so incomparably terrifying that it was practically a taboo to touch.

Despite that, the Nirvana law power was processing it into a kind of vitality to help Lin Xun achieve rebirth, reshape his dao body, and realize the ultimate metamorphosis on his cultivation path!

Little by little, his illusory figure solidified like a mold being slowly poured with supreme dao power that cemented, and then being hammered thousands of times. He began to radiate a matchless power. At the end of it, his body recovered to perfection.

His black hair danced. His muscles were as solid as divine jade, glistening with inexplicable dao light. The breaths going through his mouth and nose rumbled like a thunderstorm. He looked as calm as ever, floating within the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron as his aura climbed at an inconceivable speed...

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and grabbed a handful of dazzling lightning arcs. They had once been tribulation power, but after being refined by the Nirvana law power, they were now being used to refine his cultivation.

From this moment on, Lin Xun's body, heart, spirit, mind, and dao began to undergo a qualitative transformation. Breaking the shackles, breaking through the barriers, they were stepping into a realm beyond imagination!

The most incredible thing was that, bathed in the infinite Nirvana law power, he finally truly touched and felt the principles in it. This led to an enlightenment where he subconsciously started to condense his own laws.

The Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron rumbled, and the Nirvana law power glowed. With every tribulation petal that was refined, his aura grew stronger and more terrifying.

This was an unprecedented nirvana. It was also the most unbelievable metamorphosis that Lin Xun had ever experienced in his cultivation!

Although none of it was visible to the outside world, as time passed, the crowd could sense that something was amiss.

“Why hasn't the tribulation ended?” asked a startled bigshot.

The single question gave rise to various thoughts among the audience. Many wondered if this meant that Lin Xun had yet to fail.

“Looks like it's really not yet the moment to tell the winner,” murmured Xuan Feiling, his eyes as bright as torches.

“If so, wouldn't those who wanted to hold a funeral for Lin Xun be upset?” mocked Dugu Yong indifferently.

“By and large,” commented Fang Daoping calmly.

This was a belated tit for tat, but Fu Wenli’s party couldn't care less about that now. They were watching the distant tribulation that refused to disperse with disbelief written in their eyes. Even this still can't kill him?

The audience was also dumbfounded. Any other supreme Emperor Ancestor would have perished countless times over under such an unlawfully horrifying tribulation. Who dared to believe that Lin Xun still hadn't fallen?

BOOM!

The mandate deep within the tribulation clouds produced a deafening sound all of a sudden. Immediately, all the lightning in four directions crazily steamed toward the mandate, and the latter erupted with a radiant light. One look at it would make one think this was the end of the world!

The terrifying aura caused even the Immortal experts to pale, their hearts and minds seemingly being struck by something heavy. A great pressure and anxiety blanketed them. Without a question, this would be the strongest attack from the tribulation!

Under the watchful gazes of the astonished crowd, the mandate went up in flames, becoming a dull gray light that struck down from the sky!

Shouts and screams rang out as the disciples' eyes were stung and their minds felt like they were being ripped apart. Unprecedented fear overcame them.

Even the elders weren't much better. Their scalps tingled and their muscles stiffened up, shaken to the core by the dull tribulation light that seemed to have swept straight out from an apocalypse. It was so terrifying and taboo that words could not be used to describe it!

If this wasn't happening right before their own eyes, they would have suspected it to be a great tribulation designated for an Immortal like them, rather than something that a supreme Emperor Ancestor could face!

The attack arrived in a split second. Ignoring the fabric of spacetime, the tribulation light cut down like the sharpest blade in existence at the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron among the sea of petals.

KABOOOM!

That piece of heaven and earth sank and shattered like crushed paper. The ground shook as if a true doomsday had descended upon the Ninth Peak. Violent turbulence splattered. Even the senior experts had to retreat from afar, fearing that they might get tainted by that tribulation power.

It was also right then that they saw a scene they would never forget. Amidst the blinding and terrifying tribulation light, a handsome figure emerged with a cauldron hovering above his head and billions of light dancing around him. He resembled a god who had stepped out of an epic legend!

His body was like a great abyss. With a momentum capable of swallowing the heavens, he engulfed, crushed, and wiped out the gray tribulation light as it slashed at him! Once he finished doing so, his aura abruptly climbed up and glowed brightly. He suddenly raised a finger and slashed it at the sky like a sword.

BOOM!

Like a volcano that was finally erupting after eons of suppression, the matchless sharpness emitted a chant that resounded through the nine heavens and ten earths as it shot straight into the highest part of the sky. Shortly following that, the sky canvas was cut open. The black tribulation clouds chaotically dispersed like bubbles.

Sweeping the sky with one sword!

The surroundings went dead silent.

The senior experts gawked in a stupor, unable to come to their senses. That tribulation light was extremely taboo but it had been swallowed whole and refined by Lin Xun using his own cultivation. Not stopping there, he had chopped out a sword strike and wiped clean the hundred thousand feet of tribulation clouds. That could simply amaze all history!

As for the flabbergasted disciples, their minds had gone blank. They hadn't seen anything at first with all their senses cut off, only to be greeted by the scene of the tribulation clouds being split and collapsing in a mass the moment their visions cleared up. It threw their hearts and minds into complete shock.

One would have mistaken it for the work of a drunken immortal, who had rubbed the tribulation clouds to pieces between their palms!

The sky returned to calm, blue and clear as all the terrifying aura of the tribulation dissipated. Everything that had just happened suddenly felt like a dream. However, the palpitations, trembling, and shock stubbornly lingering in the crowd proved otherwise.

“He succeeded...” Qi Lingzhen, Zhongli Ran, Gu Shaoyin, and Fu Zhaosheng felt lost and immensely unwilling to accept this reality.

It was only until now did they finally believe that Lin Xun was not only alive but had also overcome his tribulation to realize immortality! His sure demise that they had envisioned naturally had not happened.

“He really succeeded!”

Many people jolted up as if from a dream. Uncontrollable excitement and joy bloomed on their faces, and the silent atmosphere was drowned out by noisy exclamations. It had been despairing to watch Lin Xun's tribulation. Its scale was completely beyond everyone's imagination and knowledge, and they had seen absolutely no hope of success.

In spite of that, Lin Xun had miraculously survived, and on the top of the Ninth Peak, he had certified his Immortal dao! It was as close to an impossible feat as could be.

Donghuang Shaowen, Qi Qingshi, and Mu Zunwu looked like they had been struck by lightning, their eyes bleak and lifeless. Moving forward, they and Lin Xun belonged in two completely different worlds. Considering how far he had flown out of their reach, he was no longer their peer!

“It’s a success... Young Master succeeded...” mumbled Jintian Xuanyue, so emotional that her petite body quivered. Her heart that had been shrouded in worry, pressure, and fear was getting the greatest comfort possible at this moment.

“Yes, he succeeded! Our guy never lets us down!” Xuan Jiuyin smiled from ear to ear. Only his tightly clenched fists showed how shaken and thrilled he was inside.

“Hahahahaha! Such a grand feat, there is no comparison in history!” Even an old timer like Xuan Feiling was so excited that he laughed out loud.

“At least from what I know about the history of the Eternal True Realm, there has never been such an incredible Immortal tribulation. It not only transcends the past but also will impress many ages to come!” Dugu Yong couldn't help but marvel.

“True!” Fang Daoping nodded with seriousness on his face and emotions in his eyes.

The catastrophic tribulation had stirred so many waves in their old hearts that they found themselves unable to calm down. This in itself was enough to prove how unprecedented Lin Xun's Immortal ascension was!

High-ranking members like Qin Wuyu, Mo Lanshan, Xiao Wenyuan, and Li Zhen could not conceal their astonishment and delight either. The process of Lin Xin breaking through the tribulation had been too unbelievable, too difficult! They lost count of how many times they had sweated for him.

Meanwhile, looking at Fu Wenli, Qi Xiaoyun, Chi Wen, Tang Qiu, and the others in their faction, each one was wearing a stiffer, gloomier, and more unsightly expression than the last!
