The Prodigies War

Lin Xun’s eyes were also drawn to the meteorite because he knew by feeling that it was a rare Star Debris Meteorite.

It looked extraordinary with its dark glistening surface producing dreamy silvery light.

It was no wonder that the cultivators from the Blood Sword Sect coveted the meteorite. Others also might not be able to resist the temptation.

It was no wonder that such a precious treasure would bring trouble to its innocent possessor as it had with the little girl.

“You refused to hand this thing over even if it cost your life, so why are you giving it to me now?” Miss Le asked.

“That’s different. I can tell the good from the bad.” The girl wiped away the blood stains on her face, revealing her bright and beautiful eyes.

“Are you not worried that we saved you for this item?” Miss Le asked with interest.

“At least I can give it to you with a clear conscience,” said the young girl.

Miss Le smiled, gazing at the girl with more kindness and pity.

“Where my heart is at peace, there is my home.” Lin Xun looked moved. He found a rare quality in the little girl. “As long as one adheres to one’s heart, one would not be misguided by external things.”

In the end, Lin Xun and the others declined the girl’s Star Debris Meteorite. Instead, they took her with them and left the area together.

The Blood Sword Sect experts could not smile despite narrowly escaping death.

They knew that if the weak girl had changed her fate just now, then she would come back to take revenge sooner or later!

“Who was that guy? He had such terrifying powers. He suppressed all the experts from the Blood Sword Sect without any visible movements! Could he be a peerless genius from some ancient sect?”

“The world is full of amazing things, you shouldn’t be so easily impressed. Recently, many peerless figures have been born in the East Victory World.”

“The great age is coming, the Boundary River will disappear, and the four worlds of the Ancient Wasteland will be reunited to form its former state in ancient times. From then on...the world will be like never before!”

On the nearby reefs, some cultivators couldn’t help sighing emotionally after witnessing the scene of Lin Xun demonstrating his power.

Some cultivators also secretly rejoiced at the fact that Lin Xun and the others did not take them seriously. Previously, they had threatened Lin Xun and the others to not step onto the territory. Now that they thought about it, their behavior was akin to seeking death. They were fortunate to still be alive.

……

Star Chaos Beach was very large, with reefs everywhere, and the gray mist shrouding the area made it all the more mysterious.

On the ship, Miss Le had decided to take the weak girl back to the sect, which made Kou Xing and the others envious.

They all knew that, from now on, the girl would become completely different to before, like a carp leaping into the dragon’s gate!

“Xiaohe, where did you find this meteorite?”

“Just ahead. You have to pass through more than a dozen islands and reefs, and then through an area of thick fog.”

Xiaohe was the name of the girl. “The place is very strange, with piles of bones and terrifying beasts constantly appearing...

“But, every night, the place becomes a beautiful silvery shade as if a river of stars is roaring past.”

Both Lin Xun and Miss Le’s faces lit up. That place must be extraordinary!

At the same time, Xiaohe’s eyes were full of longing. “I thought I had come to the starry sky beyond the world…there were beautiful bright stars wherever I went...Unfortunately, I didn’t dare to go deeper.”

“Why?” asked Miss Le.

“I heard one spine-chilling scream after another…and also the loud roar of ferocious beasts...”

Xiaohe trembled nervously. Clearly, she still had some residual fear from the scene she saw earlier.

“Should we check it out?” Miss Le looked at Lin Xun.

Lin Xun thought for a moment and nodded.

He was indeed very curious about the place. The fact that Xiaohe was able to find an incredibly rare and high-grade Star Debris Meteorite along the way suggested that there were more secrets in the deeper depths.

Moreover, from Xiaohe’s description, he could tell that, although the place might be riddled with dangers, there must be good things to be found there!

……

One hour later.

Following Xiaohe’s direction, Lin Xun and the others steered the ship into a gray and foggy area.

The islands and reefs here were sparse, and the river was calm and still like stagnant water. There was an eerie silent atmosphere.

“So beautiful!” As they continued onwards, Kou Xing’s eyes lit up, looking mesmerized by the scenery ahead.

In the void, clusters of stars were swaying and dancing, exuding a pure brilliance that looked especially bright and gorgeous amid the gray mist.

From afar, it was as though a vast starry river was rolling across the sky, magnificent and bright.

Vaguely, many had the illusion of stepping into the starry sky of the universe.

But at the same time, a dangerous aura seemed to permeate the area, as if terrifying beings existed in the depths of the starry sky.

A glint flashed in Lin Xun’s eyes like lightning, and his spirit sense spread outwards to investigate the place.

Immediately, he discovered some chilling scenes. In the deathly still and quiet river were several floating corpses, all of which were mangled beyond recognition.

Some had their heads smashed, some had their chests torn, and some had their bodies severed, leaving only the limbs bobbing along the river.

Additionally, Lin Xun reckoned that those corpses had died not too long ago. Judging from their injuries, they must have encountered some sort of terrifying beast.

“Everyone, be careful, this place is very strange,” reminded Lin Xun.

Before his voice faded, a silvery white figure flashed out from starlight like a bolt of lightning, speeding towards the ship they were on.

Rumble!

The void was smashed to pieces with a sonic boom behind the silvery white figure. It wasn’t only fast but also extremely powerful.

Kou Xing and the others unwaveringly steered the ship to escape.

At the same time, they caught a glimpse of the silvery-white figure’s true face.

It was a monster-beast with the appearance of a pangolin. Its body was entirely covered with silver scales, its four claws were like sharp hooks, and its eyes were scarlet and ice-cold, giving off a violent and bloodthirsty aura.

Kou Xing brought out a spear and charged toward it with killing intent.

Clang!

Sparks sputtered. The pangolin’s outer skin and scales were tougher than weapons. Additionally, it released a silvery brilliance that propelled Kou Xing’s spear through the air.

At the same time, it unleashed a shrill scream, and a shaft of white light shot out from its ferocious mouth, blasting Kou Xing away.

The rest gasped audibly. Kou Xing was a powerful Cyclic Derivation expert, yet he failed to block the opponent’s blow!

“So strong!” Green Face and Scarlet Silk dared not to pause for a moment. Immediately, they charged forward to get rid of the opponent together with Kou Xing.

However, the pangolin displayed its unexpectedly terrifying power. Its body somersaulted and sliced through the air at like a bolt of white lightning,

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In a blink of an eye, Kou Xing and the others were blasted back one by one, coughing up blood in pain.

What the hell is that thing?

Boom!

The pangolin ruthlessly followed up with another attack. It glided forward, opened its mouth, and shot a beam of white light at Kou Xing. The speed was so fast that Kou Xing had no time to dodge.

Crack!

At that moment, Lin Xun moved. With a thrust of his palm, a gush of annihilating force dispelled the white life with a puff.

Kou Xing broke out in a cold sweat after the close shave with death.

Undoubtedly, if it wasn’t for Lin Xun, they all would have been killed there. The pangolin was too abnormally strong and more vicious than great cultivators of the Cyclic Derivation Stage!

“Interesting!”

Lin Xun activated the Hornless Ice Dragon Step, immediately catching the attention of the pangolin. Its scarlet eyes became bloodshot with bloodthirst.

Boom!

It seemed to sense the danger as blazing light flared up around its silvery body and transformed into a bolt of ferocious lightning.

Lin Xun quickly activated the Bi’an Stamp and the Baxia Imprisonment and swung his palm forward. The pangolin thudded onto the deck of the ship as if it had been crushed by a giant mountain. Its scales cracked and shattered, blood coursed down the deck, and it screamed in agony and rage.

Suddenly, its tail leaped into the air like a shining silver whip. With a flash, it transformed into multiple razor-sharp light blades.

Lin Xun stood in the same spot and never dodged once. His body resembled a raging abyss, engulfing and obliterating any light blade that neared him.

Bang!

At the same time, he punched out. The scales all over the pangolin’s body broke to pieces like they had been smashed.

Kou Xing and the others smacked their lips. A powerful beast was beaten to the point of being unable to strike back. Young Master Lin really deserves the name of demon king!

But to everyone’s surprise, the pangolin was extremely tenacious. At this moment of life and death, it went berserk. Blinding silvery white light erupted from his body like it was set aflame. It seemed like it wanted to bring everyone down with him.

Without any wavering, Lin Xun lashed out with a kick to the opponent’s head, crushing its skull and ending its life.

From the beginning, he appeared extremely relaxed and calm.

“Miss, have you ever seen such a strange monster before?” Lin Xun asked.

“It should be a creature that lives above the starry sky.” Miss Le had been thinking about it all this time and finally came to such a conclusion.

“Above the starry sky?” Her answer baffled Lin Xun.

“It should be the case. The Chaos Star Beach is a battlefield relic from ancient times. The Demon Destroyer Sword Saint slashed down countless stars back then with his sword and left many star fragments here.”

Miss Le said ruminatively, “I suspect that living creatures fell here along with the fragments of stars.

“Also, in the ancient books, there are records that unknown beings resided in the boundless starry sky. Also, it is said that powerful beings have once broken through the barriers and descended upon the Ancient Wasteland Domain, but that rarely happened. Probably only once in thousands of years.”

“I see.” Lin Xun’s expression was pensive.

“If there are indeed beasts living in the starry sky, it must be extraordinary. Maybe we will find extremely rare Star Debris Meteorites.” Miss Le’s eyes gleamed.

Everyone’s heart fluttered.

At that moment, another figure rushed out from the starry sky in the distance. The sky lit up with crackling electricity and loud clapping thunder where it passed, drawing everyone’s attention.
