The Prodigies War
Chapter 3095 A Changed World
The golden blade was formed from twenty-four Maitreya Brahma Realms. It carried the entirety of Xinhu's lifelong cultivation and life force. Once this blade was unleashed, whether it killed the enemy or not, he would inevitably perish.
Now, this weapon had shattered! Everyone understood that Xinhu had no chance of survival after this.
Leisong’s and Ye Jue's expressions changed, their hearts sinking. Xinhu's life-sacrificing attack had failed to kill the enemy, which filled them with a sense of shared sorrow.
In addition, the sheer power that Lin Xun displayed also shocked them. An existence like Xinhu, a Greater Boundless Immeasurable, could contend with the top powerhouses of other epochal civilizations in the Fate Lotus World. Despite that, Lin Xun had managed to withstand Xinhu's suicidal attack! Even Fu Nanli and Ren Futian were shocked at this moment.
For Lin Xun, killing Xinhu brought him immense satisfaction. Even though his single sword strike had depleted most of his cultivation, he had finally avenged his eldest senior brother!
"Senior, how are your injuries?" Lin Xun looked at Xing Jianxia in the distance.
Previously, if Xing Jianxia hadn't gone all out to block most of the golden blade's power, it would have been much harder for him to use his sword strike to block Xinhu's remaining momentum. At this moment, Xing Jianxia was clearly seriously injured, his face extremely pale.
"Just some minor injuries, nothing that affects my fighting ability." Xing Jianxia took a deep breath and laughed. He looked disheveled, but his stalwart demeanor remained undiminished.
"Kill!"
The next moment, Xing Jianxia and Lin Xun simultaneously attacked Leisong, who was currently locked in battle with Fu Nanli. Leisong was not any inferior to Xinhu, but he had been tightly entangled by Fu Nanli, and his attempts to escape had repeatedly failed.
Witnessing Xinhu's tragic death also impacted his state of mind. Under these circumstances, when Lin Xun and Xing Jianxia joined forces to attack, Lesiong's situation became even more precarious and desperate.
In the end, he desperately fought back with all his might. Unfortunately, unlike Xinhu, he was facing three opponents: Fu Nanli, Xing Jianxia, and Lin Xun. Despite his desperate efforts, he was completely suppressed and unable to change his situation. In just a short period of time, Leisong was killed on the spot!
With Xing Jianxia and Lin Xun distracting him, Fu Nanli's flying sword had seized the opportunity, directly shattering and obliterating Leisong's physical body and soul, completely erasing him from existence. Afterward, Lin Xun and the others all looked towards Ren Futian. However, before they could go to help, Ye Jue, who had already been seriously injured in the previous battle, was killed by Ren Futian's battle halberd.
Thus, all six Greater Boundless experts, including Xinhu, had been wiped out! Among them, Ziche Wuji, Canglong Yue, and Panwu Fusheng were killed by Lin Xun. Xinhu was killed by Lin Xun and Xing Jianxia together, and Leisong was killed by Lin Xun, Xing Jianxia, and Fu Nanli together.
The only battle Lin Xun didn't participate in was in the one that killed Ye Jue. Even so, Xing Jianxia and the others knew who was the key to deciding this battle.
"In the past, I never imagined that in this Spirit Martial World, I could personally send these old bastards like Xinhu to their deaths," Xing Jianxia said with emotion.
Mountains and rivers had withered, everything had turned to dust, and the surrounding territories had collapsed and sank, making it resemble a barren and desolate ruin. Gusts of wind blew, and the air was still filled with a chilling scent of death.
Only Lotus Leaf Sacred Mountain stood tall, protected by layers of Divine Rank law power, and remained undamaged.
"Before, we were like trapped beasts, living in cages. Who could have imagined that from today onwards, there will be no one left in this Spirit Martial World who can oppose us?"
Fu Nanli smiled, also feeling a sense of melancholy. The humiliations of the past were immense, but now, those grievances have been completely washed away. It was finally time for them to hold their heads high!
"All of this is thanks to Young Friend Lin Xun." Ren Futian smiled. "In the past, there have been countless people who could turn the tide in dangerous fights, but there are very few who, like Young Friend Lin Xun, can single-handedly change the situation of the entire world."
This was high praise indeed.
"That's right, that's right." Xing Jianxia and Fu Nanli both nodded.
Ever since Lin Xun had appeared, he had first given them the opportunity to eliminate Xinying, Wen Zai, Xingtian Yuan, Wu Hongzi, and others, wiping out the enemy's ranks one by one. Later, he even allowed them to completely annihilate the remaining Greater Boundless existences, such as Xinhu, in front of Lotus Leaf Sacred Mountain today!
It can be said that without him, none of this would have been possible! Faced with such praise, Lin Xun couldn't help but give a wry smile. "Seniors, shouldn't we go back and recuperate?"
The others were startled by that, then burst into laughter.
In the distance, on Lotus Leaf Sacred Mountain, Gu Yueming, Shun Huaijia, Xue Ye, and others, along with the disciples of the Origin Sect, Spirit Sect, and Fangchun Mountain, came out and headed towards them.
Everyone showed genuine joy.
...
That day a banquet was held on Lotus Leaf Sacred Mountain, and everyone drank heartily, feeling unprecedented ease and joy. Lin Xun undoubtedly became the most celebrated person. Of course, he was also the one who was forced to drink the most.
The lively banquet continued until late in the night before ending. Lin Xun, Xing Jianxia, and Fu Nanli all went into seclusion to recuperate.
In this battle, not only did Lin Xun expend a great deal of energy, but Xing Jianxia and Fu Nanli were also injured. This was especially true for Xing Jianxia, who had been severely wounded.
Three months later, after discussions among Lin Xun, Xing Jianxia, and Fu Nanli, they immediately led everyone from Lotus Leaf Sacred Mountain to the area closest to the Sea of Fate.
That was the place where the Shaman Sect and Zen Sect had been originally located. In that area, the greatest amount of Dao Fate Power could be refined, and when the next Great Dao Fate Lotus appeared, they could enter it in the shortest possible time.
The location of Zen Inquiry Mountain, which was originally occupied by the Zen Sect, was undoubtedly the most advantageous location. However, after Lin Xun and his group moved there, they changed the mountain's name to Dao Seeking Sacred Mountain.
After settling down in their new territory, Xing Jianxia dispatched powerful figures from the Origin Sect to announce the events of this period to the world. Immediately, the entire Spirit Martial World was shaken, causing a huge uproar.
"Lin Xun alone has changed the situation of Spirit Martial World?"
"I never expected this, absolutely never expected it..."
"There are probably only a few people like Lin Xun throughout all the epochs."
"Regardless, with the destruction of the Shaman Sect, the Zen Sect, and those major Eternal Divine Clan forces, we finally have a chance to enter the central zone!"
"Speaking of which, we should all thank Lin Xun. If he hadn't appeared, we probably wouldn't have had any chance to enter the central zone before the arrival of the epochal calamity."
Countless Eternals became excited and overjoyed. As the news spread, the Origin Sect had already announced that they would allow the cultivators who had been lingering in the outer peripheral zone to enter the central zone.
How could these people not be excited? In their hearts, they were all immensely grateful to Lin Xun. Everyone knew that without him, they would never have had such an opportunity!
...
While the outside world was in an uproar...
In a cave on Dao Seeking Sacred Mountain, Lin Xun sat in meditation, and in his palm, a Dao Fate Orb released a tide-like stream of Dao Fate Power, which he absorbed and refined without wasting a single drop.
The hostile forces had been completely wiped out. Now, Lin Xun only had three things left to do.
First, he needed to reach the Immeasurable Realm. Second, he needed to wait for a Great Dao Fate Lotus to appear and compete for the opportunity to go to the All-Wonder Dominion! Third, he needed to revive his eldest senior brother before going to the All-Wonder Dominion.
Attaining the Immeasurable Realm required an opportunity from within, and the intense battle with Xinhu and other powerful figures in the Greater Boundless Immeasurable Realm had given Lin Xun a subtle hint.
Only through extreme refinement could one achieve extreme release. Furthermore, only after extreme release could one's power undergo subtle changes through the crucible of life and death. For example, a sword needed to be tempered in a furnace through countless trials in order to forge its unparalleled sharpness.
Currently, for Lin Xun, only battles at a certain level could give him the opportunity to attain the Immeasurable Realm! However, the current Spirit Martial World no longer had any worthy opponents left for him.
Therefore, in order to have a satisfying fight, he needed to wait until a Great Dao Fate Lotus appeared and then fight against the powerful figures from other epochal worlds in the Fate Lotus World. Of course, this was what Lin Xun was most looking forward to.
As for going to the All-Wonder Dominion, that was secondary. After all, in the next eight hundred years, there were going to be many opportunities for a Great Dao Fate Lotus to appear. Before leaving, Lin Xun vowed that he was going to do his best to revive his eldest senior brother.
Three years later.
In a cave dwelling, Lin Xun was having a rare leisurely moment. He personally cooked a table of delicious food and chatted with Xia Zhi while they ate. Two years ago, Xia Zhi had woken up from within the Eternity Boat. Since then, she had been by Lin Xun's side.
"How is it?" Lin Xun asked casually while serving her some food.
Xia Zhi mumbled while eating, "Although Dao Fate Power is quite extraordinary, it only helps with my cultivation base. The amount of fate law power I can absorb and refine is too little, not even enough to fill my stomach."
Lin Xun pondered, "It seems we must wait until a Great Dao Fate Lotus appears before trying again."
Two years ago, after Xia Zhi woke up, Lin Xun gave her a Dao Fate Orb. In his opinion, since Xia Zhi possessed the power of fate, Dao Fate Power should have a miraculous effect on her cultivation.
Unexpectedly, after refining it, Xia Zhi shook her head, saying that the Dao Fate Orb contained too little fate law power and was not very useful to her. Lin Xun, however, didn't believe these claims. Over the past two years, he had collected numerous Dao Fate Orbs and given them to her.
Now, after hearing Xia Zhi's explanation, he was completely disheartened.
Clearly, for other cultivators, and even for Xia Zhi, Dao Fate Power only provided significant benefits to their cultivation bases, while its effect on comprehending fate law power was extremely minimal.
The two were eating and chatting when the cave dwelling suddenly shook violently. At the same time, Lin Xun felt an astonishing aura of an eternal tribulation.
"Huh, who is undergoing an eternal tribulation at this time?" Lin Xun immediately got up and walked out of the cave dwelling, with Xia Zhi following closely behind.
In the sky, the vast River of Fate flowed majestically. At this moment, a thick layer of tribulation clouds had appeared above the Dao Seeking Sacred Mountain, emitting an aura of a tribulation that dimmed the sunlight, as if plunging everything into a pitch-black night.
A figure stood in mid-air, gazing up at the sky, their clothes fluttering in the wind, their demeanor proud and imposing.
