The Prodigies War-Novel

Swish!

Vast and majestic sword will filled the sky, overflowing with a fierce and oppressive aura that seemed capable of crushing heaven and earth. It felt as if a single cut from the sword will could collapse even space itself.

The young man seemed to become a completely different person at this moment. An imposing presence spread from between his brows as sword light flashed in his ruthless eyes.

It was as if all the emotions he had displayed earlier no longer existed.

Lin Xun felt a pressure greater than anything he had ever felt before. Although he still had many questions, there was no leeway to think about them as he attacked with his full might.

Clang!

The Broken Blade swept forth like a silver river of stars, leaving a dazzling trail in the air behind it.

The two forces collided, producing a thunderous explosion and a burst of blinding light.

Lin Xun’s blood churned erratically as he was jolted backward. The attack had nearly injured him!

"Again!"

He gritted his teeth as raging battle intent burst from his black eyes. He circulated all of the Sacred Combat Art’s power, causing his aura to rumble like thunder as it soared to new heights.

Star-Gather Slash!

When the Broken Blade passed through, it left the scene of stars falling amidst the eternal night in its wake as an aura of destruction spread.

Swish!

The young man stood in the air like an almighty sword immortal. With a snap of his finger, vast sword intent shot forth with terrifying power.

In the blink of an eye, the two individuals exchanged over a hundred blows!

"Although he’s just a wisp of will imprint and can only use the power of the peak Cyclic Derivation stage, he’s already much stronger than Sha Liuchan. What a monster..."

Lin Xun's heart rippled wildly in shock and amazement.

He was regarded as a demon god by countless cultivators because they believed that his strength was heaven-defying and abnormal. However, Lin Xun felt that the young man opposite him was the real monster.

It was hard to imagine what kind of amazing combat power he possessed when he was at the Cyclic Derivation stage all those years ago.

Crash~

Suddenly, the rainbow-dress woman also moved. She seemed to dance like a flowing rainbow as she swung a soft whip, causing rapid explosions in the air with each sweep.

Rumble!

The entire world seemed to fall into turmoil as the other ‘cultivators’ also moved. They surrounded and attacked Lin Xun, displaying various combat arts and treasures.

The scene of so many mighty Cyclic Derivation experts attacking together was unimaginably terrifying and earth-shaking.

If this was seen in the outside world, it would certainly cause a huge uproar.

However, in the Realm of Limits, no one would know that Lin Xun was the first to reach the end and was even facing such a crazy challenge before the second trial was over.

……

"How much longer?"

"Fifteen minutes."

In the outside world, the bigwigs and cultivators were anxiously waiting.

"The dao has no shore..." Yu Lingkong also saw the ancient stone monument and read the ancient text on it.

He frowned slightly but soon understood and immediately turned around to rush back along his original path.

Gurgle~

‘Cultivators’ swiftly emerged one by one, each possessing an aura that was a cut above compared to before!

As expected!

"Fortunately, the test hasn’t been completely decided yet. I still have a chance!"

An intimidating light burst from Yu Lingkong's eyes as he regained his fighting spirit. He charged forward without hesitation, throwing himself into battle again.

Unlike Lin Xun, however, Yu Lingkong’s ‘cultivators’ didn’t show any intelligence. Despite being much stronger, they were still mindless beings.

Meanwhile, in another Realm of Limits, Ji Xingyao encountered the same situation as Yu Lingkong.

"It matters not if Yu Lingkong or someone else reached the end point first, there’s still a chance to turn the tides before the final result is confirmed!"

A determined light shone in Ji Xingyao's clear eyes. She was known as the leader of the younger generation in the West Infinity World and was extremely proud and confident in herself. Hence, she naturally could not tolerate being one-upped in the Dao Lantern Festival.

It wasn’t just Yu Lingkong and Ji Xingyao. Several other supreme heaven prides who arrived at the end solved the secret of the ancient stone monument and also rejoined the battle.

As supreme heaven prides, none of them wished to fall behind others.

Amidst the process, there were also many heaven prides who were eliminated before they could even reach the end point.

At the same time, there were also top heaven prides who relaxed after arriving at the end point. They thought that they had successfully passed the second trial and failed to notice the secret mechanism at the end.

This was the great dao competition.

A single oversight would result in you falling behind without noticing!

Although such competition was often unseen and intangible, it was everywhere for those who had stepped onto the path of cultivation. For the younger generation, this unseen competition was especially cutthroat and intense.

……

Plop!

Lin Xun was suppressed again, causing him to stagger backward and cough blood while feeling as if his body was about to break down.

The danger from the combined assault of a dozen peak Cyclic Derivation experts was something no outsider could possibly comprehend.

It was simply horrifying. Every opponent wielded astonishing dao arts and boasted superb combat prowess. In the outside world, any one of them would easily be called a supreme heaven pride.

With all of them surrounding and attacking Lin Xun, he was put in a precarious situation where he faced the risk of being eliminated at any moment.

Boom!

Another burst of vast sword will swept toward him. Although the attack seemed simple and straightforward, it gave off the sensation of being able to subdue heaven and earth and sweep through anything under the sun.

"I’m interested to see if you guys can push me back!"

Lin Xun gritted his teeth. The sensation of being suppressed until he was barely able to lift his head filled him with anger which finally exploded at this moment.

In an instant, his entire body seemed to become a chaotically burning furnace as his aura grew more powerful!

It was Yazi’s Rage. It stimulated his potential, boosting his power far beyond its usual level.

Swish!

The Broken Blade emitted a clear cry as it grew increasingly resplendent. Cryptic runes began to emerge on its surface as an aura of destruction spread.

"Kill!"

Lin Xun charged into the group of ‘cultivators,’ engaging them in a chaotic melee. The world around them rippled violently as blinding light unfurled, creating a horrific scene of destruction.

Yazi’s Rage, Sacred Combat Art......and the ‘nameless dao array inheritance’ of the Broken Blade instantly made Lin Xun’s combat power jump to an unprecedented level.

Likewise, the power of Star-Gather Slash, Moon-Catch Slash, Burning Sun Slash, and Silent Emptiness Slash were also further unleashed!

At this moment in time, Lin Xun was confident in killing even supreme heaven prides like Sha Liuchan and Qing Lian'er with a single slash!

However...it still wasn’t enough!

Although he could fight back better now, he was clearly still being suppressed and could barely counterattack, let alone kill any opponents.

There were just too many opponents, and each of them was incredibly strong in their own right.

"Is this the final test of the Realm of Limits?

"According to that young man, only by using my power to the limit will I be able to fight them, but ......

"I’ve already used everything I have!"

Lin Xun was feeling rather anxious. Being suppressed to such an extent made him realize that this was the greatest challenge he had ever encountered.

However, he refused to be eliminated!

After all, how could he admit defeat at the second trial?

Plop!

Moments later, Lin Xun suffered another heavy blow and was almost beheaded by a flying battle-axe. Although it missed its target, it left a large bloody wound on his chest.

I can’t let this continue or I’ll lose!

Lin Xun's eyes suddenly turned red. He threw aside all other thoughts and focused purely on the battle as he attacked with crazed abandon.

Battle!

The essence of battle lay in battle. This was the most fundamental essence of the Sacred Combat Art. Other worries would only mess up the flow!

Battle!

Lin Xun emptied himself of all other concerns and completely unleashed himself. Tactics, technique, past experiences...were all cast aside, and he instead relied purely on his burning battle intent.

Engage in battle with a heart of battle!

Rumble!

In this moment, Lin Xun burned like a mighty sun as an oppressive aura unfurled from him. He became a battle demon god from the ancient era that sought to fight through the nine heavens.

All I seek is a battle regardless of whether I win or lose!

It was the first time Lin Xun had let go of everything and fought without reservation since entering the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Crash~

Amidst this extreme state of mind, the long-dormant Origin Aeth Artery near Lin Xun's heart began to generate a peculiar heat flow. The heat rapidly spread throughout his body and absorbed into his skin, blood, flesh, bones, internal organs...and even his aura.

Lin Xun paid no attention to these changes because every fiber of his being was purely focused on battle, forgetting the sky, the land, and everyone else around him!

……

"I’ve succeeded!"

A Realm of Limits, Yu Lingkong’s complexion was a little pale as he panted while drenched in sweat. It was a rather wretched sight compared to his usual dashing and confident appearance.

Despite this, his heart was filled with elation and anticipation.

Because all of the opponents had been killed.

"Although I took a little longer to reach the end point earlier, who can possibly compete with me in this final test?"

Yu Lingkong took a deep breath and looked around with confidence and disdain as if he was the one and only worthy person in the entire world.

……

Meanwhile, Ji Xingyao muttered to herself, "That should do it, right?"

There were no longer any opponents in front of her. All of them had been annihilated.

Her beautiful face was covered in beads of sweat, her long black hair was in a mess, and her aura seemed to be about to fall into disorder.

The battle had clearly been hard on her.

"I would like to see who can still one-up me in the final test rankings."

A proud smile rose from the corners of Ji Xingyao's lips.

……

As time passed, more and more supreme heaven prides were able to achieve the same feat like Mu Jianting, Lei Qianjun, Li Qinghuan, Zhongli Wuji, Sha Liuchan, Qing Lian'er, and a few others.

They didn’t expect to be first but hoped to be in the top three.

At this juncture, only two minutes remained until the allocated time of an incense stick was up...
