The Prodigies War

Demon God Lin!

The name seemed to possess magic powers as it altered the expressions on everyone’s faces and sent their hearts trembling.

The atmosphere turned deadly silent.

Lin Xun ran his eyes across everyone, saying puzzledly, “Are you not looking for me? I’m here now, but why don’t you seem to welcome me?”

Everyone’s lips twitched. Welcome you? It is already merciful of us to not kill you right away!

Once they finally recognized Lin Xun, their initial shocked expression changed to a more complicated one.

No one imagined that Demon God Lin, whom they had been searching hard for almost one month, would show up in front of them in such a strong stance.

He…

Does he not want to live anymore?

“Hahaha...” Many people broke into laughter.

Demon God Lin was covered with so many scars and injuries that he was almost unrecognizable. He looked as tragic as a beggar yet he still dared to come and provoke them. It was absurd no matter how they looked at it.

“I have to admit that this guy has courage. He’s already badly wounded but he still came to pick a fight. It’s hard not to respect him for that!” someone mocked.

Wu Liutao and several other king-level experts studied Lin Xun with a faint frown on their faces, finding something unusual, but they could not pinpoint it.

This was because Lin Xun had completely restrained his aura, and his appearance was very pitiful and miserable. They sensed nothing special about him at all.

With a smile, Lin Xun pointed to the mountain in front. “From now on, this place belongs to me. If you guys don’t want to die then you have to obey me. I will need people to dig ores, plant medicinal herbs, fetch water, and serve tea.”

The group stared, stunned at him, as anger rose within them. That guy is already wounded like that, but he still has the guts to make such an outrageous demand and take over our territory!

“Demon God Lin, do you still think we are in the Burning Immortal World?” Rui Manrong questioned, wondering if Lin Xun had gone crazy.

Lin Xun smiled. “What’s the difference?”

As they were speaking, he had been spreading his spirit sense over the mountain and came to find that there were eighteen levels of a forbidden array set up throughout the mountain, which was very unusual.

But that was all; they were far from being a threat to Lin Xun.

“I’m going to kill you!” thundered a man, unable to stand it any longer. His face darkened, and he spurted a green cloud right at Lin Xun.

Clang!

However, Lin Xun, whose body was scorched and covered in wounds, was able to dispel it with a mere flick of his fingers.

The mysterious object turned out to be a green blade forged from rare beast bones. It was incredibly sharp, but it still snapped into two.

Everyone’s face paled.

“I always keep my word. If you surrender now, then I can spare your lives,” Lin Xun stated nonchalantly as he scanned everyone.

Everyone’s anger spiked again. Demon God Lin is too arrogant!

“Move aside! I’ll deal with him!”

Wu Liutao’s eyes flashed like lightning while wisps of blazing dao light circulated him. He was surrounded by the power of the king stage!

“Demon God Lin, we couldn’t touch you when you were hiding in Burning Immortal City, but now...I’m going to force you on your knees!”

Wu Liutao proudly stretched out his hand to grab Lin Xun.

The palm blocked off the sun and sky and erupted with blinding sparks, demonstrating the remarkable power of the king stage.

Everyone was in high spirits, looking at Lin Xun as if he was already a dead person.

Bang!

However, Lin Xun stood still and did not move an inch, yet the palm collapsed in midair and faded in a shower of colorful light.

“You…”

Wu Liutao’s pupils shrank. He realized the problem.

But Lin Xun struck back at that moment, also aiming a palm strike at him. “Kneel before you talk to me!”

The order, once given, had to be strictly enforced. Wu Liutao desperately mobilized all his strength to defend himself, but as soon as the palm touched him, his legs gave way and blood spurted from his mouth and nostrils.

With a thud, he was on his knees. A huge pit was smashed into the ground and the air was murky with dust and smoke.

Everyone was so shocked that they almost jumped up.

Wu Liutao was a true king who had condensed the dao seed. Although he did not ascend to the supreme king stage, he was still powerful and could not be underestimated. He was able to slaughter any person below the king stage.

But now…

He knelt under the force of a palm.

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows and mumbled to himself, “It seems like ordinary kings are pretty bad and not worth the attention...”

Lin Xun had faced off against king-level experts many times in the past, but he had never dealt with them solely with his own strength.

After he reached the supreme king stage, although he knew his strength had undergone earthshaking changes, he did not specifically know how strong he had become.

Therefore, he decided to be cautious and not hold back.

But now he realized that he need not pay attention to someone like Wu Liutao!

They were both kings, but the two of them were worlds apart!

Upon hearing this, Wu Liutao, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn’t stop his expression from changing drastically and roared, “Hurry, take him down together! He has become a king!”

The others quickly reacted as they already sensed that something was wrong.

“So what if he has become a king? Who hasn’t become a king?” shouted a burly youngster, wielding a black ax upwards with killing intent.

He had the bearing of a barbarian king. With one strike, the wind and lightning were stirred and the airflow turned chaotic.

At the same time, several other kings also acted together, closing in on Lin Xun.

They might be surprised that Lin Xun had become a king, but they were not afraid because they were also kings!

Moreover, Lin Xun was covered in scars and blackened—clear signs that he had sustained heavy injuries, so they all attacked freely without worry.

They confidently believed that they could easily deal with a wounded Demon God Lin.

“It’s a shame that you know nothing about power.” Lin Xun vanished from the spot with a flash.

The king stage stood proudly above the five great cultivation stages and struck fear into any Cyclic Derivation Stage experts.

Even Lin Xun almost lost his life when he was encircled by Wu Yuanzhen, Miao Cen and the others in the past.

But now…

It was different!

Instantly, Lin Xun blasted away the burly ax-wielding man with a punch. His muscles and bones shattered as he slammed hard into a boulder.

The other king experts shrieked in horror and fought back with all their strength.

Unfortunately, despite their quick reactions, Lin Xun was still faster. Following two muffled booms, another two figures flew across the air.

One landed on their knees with a collapsed chest.

One had their neck broken and died on the spot before they could activate their primordial spirit to escape.

“How is that possible?!”

The other kings were dumbfounded. “How did they not even withstand a single strike?!”

Not to mention them, even the cultivators who had not yet become kings in the distance were trembling with shock and disbelief.

Seconds ago, they were mocking Lin Xun for coming to die.

The current situation caught them off guard and left them stupefied and so frightened that their souls almost flew out of their bodies.

“He…he has become a supreme king!” Only then did Wu Liutao come to his senses and conclude that Demon God Lin, who looked miserably wounded, was not only a king but also a supreme king.

Otherwise, he could not possibly possess such terrifying strength.

Only this reason could explain how he had become so unbelievably strong.

Supreme king stage?

The others went stiff, scared out of their wits.

Demon God Lin was already strong enough to cause carnage to the major forces when he was at the Cyclic Derivation Stage. How terrifying was he now if he had set foot into the supreme king stage?

Pu! Pu! Pu!

While everyone was dumbstruck, Lin Xun again consecutively killed another three kings. With a lift of a finger, he seemed to exude the power to obliterate everything in his way like a thunderbolt.

He was unstoppable!

“Quick, quickly get reinforcements!” Wu Liutao roared, his eyes bloodshot.

It finally dawned on him why Lin Xun dared to appear so brazenly. He came for revenge!

Rui Manrong and the others fled in panic, darting up the mountain.

Pu!

Behind them, Wu Liutao was slaughtered. His eyes were bulging with bitterness and resentment even before death.

So what if he was a king?

To Lin Xun, killing him was no different from slaughtering a chicken!

Blood rained down, and the thick stench of blood hung in the air in front of the mountain gate.

Lin Xun put his hands behind his back and surveyed around. Corpses were strewn everywhere, and shrieks rang from all over the mountain.

“Quickly, please hurry and get Senior Brother Wen Aohai. Demon God Lin is coming!” Rui Manrong cried. Beneath her disheveled hair, her eyes were filled with terror in her pale face.

“Demon God Lin?”

All cultivators from Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain were dumbfounded. They had been searching hard for traces of Demon God Lin all this time, but it turned out that he came to their door on his own initiative. Wasn’t that a good thing?

“Junior Sister Rui, why do you look so terrified?”

“It’s just Demon God Lin. In the Burning Immortal World, he had to hide in the city to stay alive. Now that he has come to the Upper Nine Realms, isn’t it our chance to kill him?” remarked a king stage expert contemptuously.

“He, he, he...” Rui Manrong’s teeth were chattering and her forehead was beaded with sweat.

“He what?” someone frowned.

They started to sense something was wrong.

Boom!

At that moment, the mountain shook and the prohibition formation that shrouded the area buzzed violently like it could not withstand much longer.

“This is bad!”

Everyone was horror-stricken on the mountain. Even Life Death Stage Kings were unable to shake the king-level forbidden array one bit, and anyone mistakenly trespassed into it would be killed on the spot.

Rumble!

Before anyone could respond, a deafening rumble announced the destruction of the king-level forbidden array that enveloped the entire mountain.

The array crumbled bit by bit, becoming a splendid rain of light that filled the sky.

At the same time, a tall and graceful figure leisurely walked out from the beautiful rain as though he was taking a stroll around the mountains.

Si!

Gasps rang out in rapid succession and all descendants of the Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain were trembling inwardly.

They were all utterly aghast!

A king level forbidden array collapsed like it was just decoration. This alone was already terrifying.

“He…he has become a supreme king…” Rui Manrong finally found her voice, but it seemed to deplete all the strength in her.

After she finished, she was paralyzed to the spot as though her soul had left her body.

Everyone fell deathly silent.
