The Prodigies War-Chapter 2794 Eternal Might

Outside the Flowing Light Forbidden Realm, the forces of three powerful divine clans, together with the Qin Clan, had already taken their positions. To be more precise, no fewer than eight Transcendence beings were stationed there!

Lin Xun had learned all this from Qin Jinglue’s memories. It couldn’t be wrong. That was exactly why he chose to head for Fortune Divine City instead of venturing into the Flowing Light Forbidden Realm.

It was simply too dangerous. Even with trump cards hidden up his sleeve, Lin Xun could not guarantee that he could rashly storm the Flowing Light Forbidden Realm and rescue his parents while staying alive.

After all, he did not know whether the willpower of Taixuan could suppress eight Transcendence old monsters. Taixuan was an Eternal being, but what Lin Xun held was no more than some willpower sealed within the token.

Furthermore, those Transcendence antiques had lived for countless years, each with unfathomable foundations.

Of course, the heart of the problem was that Lin Xun knew almost nothing about the true power of the Eternal Stage. That uncertainty gnawed at him. It forced him to steady his heart, to analyze calmly, and to choose the most stable path. Thus, he set his sights on the Fortune Divine City!

Once he reached that city, he would no longer need to fear pursuit! After all, the forbidden power cloaking that city suppressed all cultivation, no matter how mighty, down to the Emperor Stage. Furthermore, within the Emperor Stage, who could possibly make Lin Xun bow?

Moreover, in the Fortune Divine City, he could seek out cultivators of the Great Underworld Ruins and uncover the path that led there. When the time came, he could journey to the Great Underworld Ruins first.

Taixuan had once said that so long as one carried his token into the Great Underworld Ruins, someone there would immediately sense its aura and come forth to offer aid. With that thought steadying his heart, Lin Xun stepped out of the inn. In a flash, his figure shot into the boundless starry sky.

......

The starry sky stretched vast and boundless. The Fortune Dominion was like an endless cosmic expanse, studded with relics from hundreds of epochs, grand and mysterious beyond imagination. It was unlike the Return Dominion, and completely different from Kunlun Dominion.

Lin Xun estimated with his current cultivation, it would take ten days to travel from Qin City to the Fortune Divine City. Moreover, this journey would be far from peaceful, riddled with unimaginable dangers and natural calamities, such as spatial torrents and time storms often that erupted without warning.

Fortunately, he had pried the safe route to Fortune Divine City from Qin Jinglue’s soul, so as he crossed the starry sky, he felt little cause for worry.

Unfortunately, only half a day later... While streaking across the starry sky, he suddenly halted and immediately summoned the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron.

Boom!

A terrifying palm force materialized from nothingness and crashed down like a collapsing heaven. The sword cauldron wailed under the impact, shuddering violently, while Lin Xun’s figure was hurled backward.

Pu!

He spat blood. His qi roiled in chaos. Raising his eyes, he saw a figure wreathed in golden divine flames, its aura violent and tyrannical, tearing through the distant void.

It was Qin Wenzhang! However, his expression was like ice, his eyes seething with murderous intent. He looked like a rampaging ancient fiend god, and the might pouring off him made the starry sky quake and tremble.

“Run then! Why don’t you run now?” His voice was cold and venomous, dripping with hatred.

Lin Xun’s escape from the Great Qin Divine Domain was, to him, the greatest disgrace, a humiliation that drove him nearly mad.

Earlier, misled by Qin Huailin’s words, he had wasted precious time chasing toward the Flowing Light Forbidden Realm. Only halfway there did he realize the mistake. Furious, he immediately turned back.

When he scoured Qin City and found no trace of Lin Xun, he quickly deduced that Lin Xun had most likely fled towards Fortune Divine City!

Fortune Divine City was a place ‘beyond the divine’s reach.’ Only there could Lin Xun cast aside all fear of being hunted down by the forces of the Great Qin Divine Clan.

Having come to this conclusion, Qin Wenzhang gave chase without pause. After hours of frenzied pursuit, he finally caught sight of Lin Xun.

“Why are you so eager to die?” Lin Xun let out a long sigh.

“Little trash! Without the protection of that Will Dharma Form, how dare you still spout such arrogance?!” Qin Wenzhang roared as he thrust out a hand.

Boom!

A colossal golden palm unfurled across the heavens, blotting out the stars. Golden dao light raged forth, incinerating the nearby constellations one after another as it closed in to seize Lin Xun.

This was the power of Transcendence, something utterly beyond what Lin Xun could withstand at his current level. Even if he unleashed Time Stopping, the Blade of Time, or the Gate of Exile...it would not change the inevitable result: suppression and defeat.

In addition, Lin Xun knew this all too well. This was why he immediately took out the token Taixuan had entrusted to him.

Shua!

At first, only a faint streak of sword qi appeared, flickering lightly in the starry sky, almost too subtle to notice. However, the colossal golden palm tore apart like fragile paper and shredded into fragments before vanishing without a trace.

Then, Taixuan’s majestic figure emerged out of thin air. Clad in plain hemp robes, long hair cascading freely, his bearing was refined yet transcendent. Behind him, billions of auspicious rays churned like a vast ocean of light. Within them, faint and illusory, a dao sword surfaced and sank, appearing and vanishing, radiating a majesty that shook the very cosmos.

“Elder, I had no choice but to trouble you.” Lin Xun wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, his voice low, tinged with helplessness.

“On the path of the great dao, who has not faced dead ends? But in my view, once you truly attain the dao and step into Transcendence, beings such as these...will be no more than clay chickens.” Taixuan’s voice was clear and resonant, and as he stood there, he seemed like a supreme sovereign incarnate!

In the distance, Qin Wenzhang, who had been seething with murderous intent and exuding unstoppable might, suddenly froze. His pupils contracted violently, and his voice trembled uncontrollably, “Ma...Martial God?!”

His expression twisted with disbelief and terror, as though thunder had struck his soul. However, as a Transcendence existence, his reactions were unmatched. The instant he sensed danger, he spun on his heel and fled.

Boom!

A terrifying aura erupted from him, as if he were fighting for his life. His cultivation surged madly to its limits, and in the blink of an eye he vanished without a trace into the void. As a third realm Martial Ancestor, no one understood the terror of a Martial God better than he did. After all, in the Great Qin Divine Clan’s ancestral line, there had once been a Martial God!

Even a mere willpower of such an existence was enough to suppress a Martial Ancestor with ease! At that moment, Taixuan’s willpower extended a hand, making a light grasping motion in the void.

Suddenly, Lin Xun witnessed an unbelievable sight. Qin Wenzhang, who had vanished moments ago, was yanked back into view as if seized by the hand of a god. No matter how he struggled, he could not break free.

”No—No—!” His scream ripped through the void, his soul nearly fleeing his body. If he had known Lin Xun possessed such a trump card, he would never have dared to give chase. Now, it was far too late for regrets.

Even Lin Xun was shaken to the core. Only now did he realize how utterly wrong he had been. He had underestimated the power of the Eternal Stage, believing that even the strongest willpower could never suppress eight Transcendence beings.

However, reality had shattered that! With a stretch of his hand, Taixuan had caught Qin Wenzhang, a Transcendence powerhouse, like a fly. What kind of terrifying power was this?

“Shall we spare him?” Taixuan’s calm voice rippled through the air.

Lin Xun shook his head. At that moment, a daring thought surged up from the depths of his heart!

Bang!

Qin Wenzhang’s body exploded, his primordial spirit crushed to nothing. The blood mist evaporated in the blink of an eye, leaving not even the faintest trace behind. Erased. Completely.

Lin Xun’s mind and spirit quaked as he sucked in a sharp breath. The Eternal Stage! How could it wield such incredible power?

In the Eternal True Realm, it was said only the Eternal Divine Clans of the Ninth Heaven Domain possessed such existences. In the Origin Sect, Taixuan was the only Eternal figure Lin Xun had ever encountered.

Perhaps it was his ignorance, but he had never truly understood the power of this realm...until now. Even just a willpower, not Taixuan’s true body, had slain a Transcendence expert as effortlessly as slaughtering a chicken. Lin Xun’s entire worldview was overturned.

Sensing Lin Xun’s inner turmoil, Taixuan explained softly, “He was only at the intermediate Transcendence Stage and was also badly wounded. That was why he fell so easily. If it had been someone like Xuan Feiling, who has long reached the pinnacle of Transcendence, killing him would not have been so simple.”

Lin Xun’s head throbbed at the thought. So it wasn’t that they couldn’t be killed, but instead it would take great effort... And this is only the power of a willpower!

No words could describe what he felt in this moment. He finally understood that, before a true Eternal powerhouse, his own cultivation was utterly insignificant....

“This is the Fortune Dominion’s starry sky. Long ago, I too roamed across these boundless heavens. I never thought I would return here like this, through my willpower.” Taixuan clasped his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping the vast void. With a faint sigh, he murmured, “I wonder...are the old friends from back then still around?”

Then as if remembering something, his eyes sharpened. “Have you found your parents?”

Lin Xun nodded. “They are trapped within the Flowing Light Forbidden Realm.” He quickly recounted all that he had learned to Taixuan.

“Eight Transcendence experts...” Taixuan mused. Then he said calmly, “As long as no one of my level intervenes, I can help you rescue them.”

Lin Xun’s spirits surged with hope. He bowed deeply. “Elder, please lend me a hand.”

Taixuan smiled faintly. “Since I have given you my willpower, it is only natural that I lend you a hand.”

However, then his expression grew solemn. “Those three divine clans you spoke of...I know them well. Each one’s foundation is deeper than the last, strong enough to rank among the top ten of the divine clans in the hundreds of epochs. Within their lineages sit living Eternal old monsters. If they sense us, my willpower might be able to contend with them briefly, but I would not last long. That is why you must have a retreat planned for after your parents are rescued.”

His gaze then fell squarely upon Lin Xun. Lin Xun was silent for a moment before asking, “Elder...what do you think of Fortune Divine City?”

“It is indeed a place of unmatched mystery and wonder.” Taixuan’s eyes glimmered strangely as he said, “But if you hide within that city and your enemies encircle it from outside, escaping again will be no easy matter.”

Then, as if recalling something, he mused, “That said...choosing this city as your retreat route may not be entirely without hope...”

“Hope?” Lin Xun was taken aback.

Taixuan smiled faintly. “It’s too soon to speak of this now. First, I’ll take you to the Flowing Light Forbidden Realm.”

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeve. In the next instant, he and Lin Xun vanished into thin air.
