The Prodigies War-Novel

Outside of Cangwu Mountain.

“Yu Lingkong is dead?!”

When they heard the news, everyone’s first thought was that it couldn’t be true!

Yu Lingkong was a peerless genius figure from the Longevity Land in the South Wonder World. Not only was he born into a family of Saints, but he had also long made a name for himself in the South Wonder World for his solid foundation, extraordinary skills, and remarkable abilities that far surpassed that of his peers.

How could someone like him be killed?

But as more and more news about his death circulated, some cultivators fell silent and their expressions morphed. Thunderstorms and turbulent seas seemed to be setting off in their hearts.

The atmosphere began to change palpably.

Even Granny Jin He and other influential figures were shaken by the news.

Is Demon God Lin really that powerful?

If he indeed killed Yu Lingkong, then his cultivation must have reached an unbelievable level!

“Even the Longevity Palace didn’t help! It was suppressed by a mysterious pagoda of Demon God Lin. Yu Lingkong simply couldn’t fight back.”

Everyone stood shocked and dazed while their emotions turned more and more complex when they heard this news.

Demon God Lin indeed owns a Saint treasure as rumored!

Moreover, it can’t just be an ordinary Saint treasure. Otherwise, it can’t possibly match up to a Saint treasure such as the Longevity Palace!

A youngster from a lower domain world managed to stir the entire West Infinity World again and again in the past half a year and was continuing to rise.

Even if he was alone and had no one to support him, he managed to forge a brilliant and glorious path for himself. This miracle alone was enough to amaze the world.

Who in the West Infinity World hadn’t heard about the name of Demon God Lin?

It could be foreseen that the news of Yu Lingkong’s death would not only cause a sensation in the West Infinity World, but also help spread Demon God Lin’s reputation further to the East Victory World, South Wonder World, and North Dipper World!

Many cultivators’ eyes glazed over. Demon God Lin has risen too fast! Is he really invincible among the younger generation?

Is there no one in his generation who could compete with him?

Many cultivators lost control of their emotions, unable to accept the truth. A youngster who came from a lower-domain world and who didn’t belong to any sect or clan was outshining everyone else in the West Infinity World. How would they not feel uncomfortable?

It was in this tense and depressing atmosphere that another piece of news broke out.

“Demon God Lin has been severely wounded by the Longevity Palace and is currently encircled by everyone. If this continues, he very likely could be killed!”

The news set off a torrential uproar that washed away the quiet and deathly still atmosphere.

“He brought this on himself! We can’t let someone like Demon God Lin remain in this world!”

Some cultivators gloated.

“Impossible. It’s very rare to find a talented genius like Demon God Lin. He is destined to become a leading figure in the future. How would he die just like that?”

Some cultivators didn’t believe in the news.

Meanwhile, all the influential figures simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief, and many smiled imperceptibly.

If Demon God Lin was alive, then he would no doubt overpower the ancient sects’ successors to the point of them being unable to lift their heads. His presence was like a giant mountain suffocating them.

Fortunately, he had met with misfortune!

Granny Jin He found it very unfortunate. She had suggested recruiting Lin Xun as a disciple all along, believing that a talent like him would have a limitless future. Her mood suddenly turned extremely complicated knowing that he was gone from the world.

However, the cultivators waiting outside Cangwu Mountain began to feel uneasy and impatient as they waited for further news.

“So has Demon God Lin died yet?”

Many people wondered the same question.

It was then that the latest news came—Demon God Lin did not die. Instead, all the genius figures who encircled him were slaughtered on the spot, and the culprit of that was a mysterious girl who appeared out of nowhere!

“So terrifying. She single-handedly killed everyone with just a spear. Those peerless geniuses failed to withstand a single blow in front of her.”

The news struck everyone dumb for a moment before an uproar broke out.

Some people were buzzing with excitement, while others were distraught.

Amidst those uproars, piercing angry roars rang again and again.

“Whoever dares to kill Mu Jianting, the successor of our Jade Emptiness Temple, will have to pay for it with their life no matter who they are!”

“Impossible, my grandson Shang Jia was born with mysterious dao runes, how would he die so easily? Demon God Lin, I’m going to kill you!”

“From today on, our Azure Sea Sect will do everything we can to kill Demon God Lin to avenge Li Qinghuan!”

The influential figures were all livid and blazing with fury, about to go berserk. Terrifying killing intent flooded the world, turning the area chilling and austere.

All of a sudden, all clamor faded into silence.

Everyone realized that even if Demon God Lin came out alive, he would have to deal with the wrath of many influential figures!

Why?

It was simple. Demon God Lin might be strong, but he lacked the protection of a major clan or sect, so the influential figures didn’t hesitate to target him so brazenly!

There was no need to think to know that today’s matter would turn into a monstrous storm. In the next few days, it would shake all the ancient sects and clans in the West Infinity World, which would further spread the name of Demon God Lin and push him to the limelight again.

Of course, the premise was whether or not Lin Xun could survive the wrath and murderous rage of the influential figures when he emerged from Cangwu Mountain.

At the same time, a question lingered in the hearts of all cultivators: who was the mysterious girl armed with the black umbrella and purple spear?

……

The portal of emptiness was a space passage. The colorful beams of light intertwining and twisting together inside added a heart-pounding beauty to it.

Anyone entering through it would feel as if they had stepped into a magnificent void of chaos. The hazy gray mist swirling in the air was formed from laws and rules, which only true Saints could pry into the supreme mystery and secrets contained within them.

In a flash, before Lin Xun and the others could react, a space-time force propelled them forward.

They came to the outside world.

The distant verdant mountains were shrouded in swirling mist. They came to a canyon in the mountains. They surveyed the area and saw nothing but steep ridges and sharp mountain peaks and wild and majestic landscapes.

Rumble!

A waterfall crashed down the thousand-foot-tall mountain like a white dragon diving down and causing countless waves to splash out.

Where is this place? How far are we away from Cangwu Mountain?

A wave of dizziness swept over Lin Xun. Although he wasn’t certain that they were far away from Cangwu Mountain, at least it was considered a temporarily safe place.

“Lin Xun, I want to sleep,” Xia Zhi said aloud. She was holding up a black umbrella that was as dark as eternal night, blocking the bright light of the sky.

“Do you need to continue your obliteration cultivation?” Lin Xun’s heart tensed up.

“No.” Xia Zhi shook her head. “The art I practice rotates between withering and thriving, drops from the pinnacle then rises from the bottom, and it repeats itself endlessly. It’s very annoying. Only when I break the barrier of limit and step into the realm of limitlessness can I eliminate this problem.”

She wrinkled her delicate brows.

“Then, now…” Lin Xun’s expression tensed up.

“I can’t fight.” Xia Zhi hid nothing from him.

Lin Xun was speechless for a while. The Nine Cycles of Obliteration Art was incredibly bizarre. He quickly let Xia Zhi into the Nameless Pagoda to rest and recover.

Bai Lingxi, who had been silent all this time, couldn’t help asking, “You and her…what’s the relationship between you two?”

“I found her from the mountains a few years ago.” Lin Xun laughed. “Since then, we have been through thick and thin together.”

Bai Lingxi blinked blankly, finding it absurd. How can he just find such a powerful and unique girl in the mountains?

All of a sudden, she felt relieved, thinking that Lin Xun was joking because he didn’t want to say more about Xia Zhi.

“What do you plan to do next?” Bai Lingxi asked.

“Quickly recover,” Lin Xun answered without any hesitation.

“Why don’t we leave now?”

“I have a feeling that someone will soon catch up.”

Lin Xun’s black eyes looked pensive. When he left Cangwu Mountain, the old rogue had seriously reminded him that it would not be safe even if he reached the outside world.

After making a decision, Lin Xun offered Bai Lingxi a drop of the king-grade herb essence. “This will help you recover more quickly.”

It was a drop of original essence extracted from the old rogue, which could be regarded as a treasure due to its miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life.

Lin Xun had to exhaust all his means to blackmail the old fellow to give him three drops.

“Isn’t...isn’t this too precious?” Touched, a strange look spread across Bai Lingxi’s beautiful face.

She could tell from one glance that one drop was already magnificent. It was filled with divine dao light and spewed out wisps of gorgeous light like the legendary fairy elixir.

“Take it.” Lin Xun smiled and stuffed it into her hand.

Back when they were at the top of the altar, Bai Lingxi had protected him at the risk of her own life, which left her riddled with injuries in the end.

Their friendship had survived death so how would Lin Xun be so stingy about just a drop of the king-grade herb essence?

“Let’s make good use of the time to recover.”

Lin Xun sat down cross-legged on a boulder on the other side of the waterfall and began to meditate.

His wounds were serious and almost life threatening. They were caused by the laws of power of the Saint treasure. He was only able to survive until now because of the strand of root and leaf that the old rogue had given him.

Although those two treasures couldn’t be compared to the king-grade herb essence, they still had astonishing effects on his injuries. He only needed some time for him to fully recover.

Bai Lingxi stood blankly, her white clothes stained with blood, her pretty face pale, but her demeanor was still as ethereal and graceful as always.

As she stared at Lin Xun who was meditating, an unfathomable smile curved the corners of her shiny lips.

“As a partner, that guy is not bad...” But Xia Zhi’s face flashed across her mind, and she sighed inwardly. Whoever wanted to become a couple with Lin Xun had to pass Xia Zhi first.

She was a girl with incredible god-like powers that could make anyone despair. The thought of her immediately extinguished the thought that Bai Lingxi had.

“In the future, let’s see if any woman dares to provoke Lin Xun...” Bai Lingxi thought mischievously.
