The Prodigies War

Lin Xun walked across the air and arrived at the shore.

"Lin Xun, I'm sorry, I..." Gu Yunting’s face was full of guilt after being released from his restraints. He was somewhat ashamed to face Lin Xun.

"Leave this to me. Since it started because of me, it should be ended by me."

Lin Xun patted Gu Yunting’s shoulder before turning to Chu Zhongtian in the distance.

In an instant, Lin Xun seemed to become a different person. He didn’t hide his killing intent, and his black eyes surged like the abyss as an invisible pressure enveloped the area.

Strong!

The crowd’s hearts trembled. Most of them were witnessing Lin Xun's power for the first time.

"Not bad, but you would have never been able to make much of a splash without that mysterious Saint woman expert’s support."

Golden radiance overflowed from Chu Zhongtian and transformed into thousands of sinister-looking blades, creating an astonishing scene of countless brightly shining blades hovering in the air.

"You're wrong. Compared to my peers, I have never relied on others to solve my troubles. You will be no exception."

Everyone found themselves agreeing with Lin Xun’s statement.

There was indeed no falsehood in his words!

Among those who knew his past, who would dare to say that he had taken advantage of his position to bully others?

No one!

His reputation was entirely self-built, and no one could deny the many battle accomplishments he had accumulated.

If it wasn't for the fact that six Saints had unreasonably joined forces to create such an unfair situation, the mysterious woman would probably not have shown up to support Demon God Lin.

Hence, Chu Zhongtian’s earlier words were clearly a form of slander.

"It will be best if that's the case. I can also tell you that I will be personally subduing you in such a convincing manner that you’ll die without any regrets!"

A wave of killing intent unfurled from Chu Zhongtian. It seemed to alarm the sky as it barbarically swept across the area while he stood there like an almighty god, pulsing with blazing blade qi and dazzling golden light.

"A thousand years of cultivation and yet you couldn’t even beat Yun Qingbai back then. Where do you find the gall to make such a bold claim?"

Lin Xun displayed a bright smile.

Clang!

The sinister-looking blades clanged loudly.

Chu Zhongtian didn’t move, but hundreds of golden blades swept forth like a dazzling waterfall.

Lin Xun made a fist as the essence of the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art converged toward it. He then ferociously punched, sending out a burst of almost solid fist aura.

Presently, he was capable of unleashing the power of the Heavenshaking Punch at will and was far different from the time before he participated in the Little Giants List Competition.

Rumble!

Blade qi and fist-force collided, causing space to collapse amidst a blinding explosion of light.

In an instant, the two individuals clashed ferociously.

The crowd quickly retreated. Such a duel would absolutely transcend time itself, and no one wished to be caught up in the aftershocks of such shocking, destructive power.

Clang!

Blade qi swept forth as Chu Zhongtian moved across the air like a great sun. The golden light around him continued to transform into sinister golden blades.

A shocking scene soon followed. The blades gathered together to form a pair of wings that pulsed with an aura of overwhelming sharpness.

Chu Zhongtian became even faster, and his aura grew even more horrifying. Space crumbled around him as he moved while thousands and thousands of blades rushed forth with terrifying destructive power.

Such blade-will could slay even ghosts and gods!

Lin Xun seemed to become a phantom as he activated the Hornless Ice Dragon Step while unleashing the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art. Every blast of fist-force gave off an indestructible and mighty sensation that felt as if it could shake even the heavens!

At his level, every move overflowed with Dao Truth Power that could draw upon the almighty power of heaven and earth. It seemed to resonate with the surrounding world and was incomparable to the past.

The two forces collided like clashing thunderbolts. The sounds of explosions, ringing blades, and howling fist-force mixed together as an endless, terrifying shockwave erupted. Hundreds of blows were exchanged in an instant amidst blazing light that filled the entire sky.

The two individuals crossed paths for a split second, their faces colored with slight surprise.

Chu Zhongtian was astonished and alarmed by Lin Xun's power because it was far beyond his estimation.

Lin Xun, on the other hand, was only a little surprised. From the brief exchange, he was able to judge that the other party had already reached the doorstep of the pinnacle level of the supreme path.

This was already the highest realm of the supreme path. Those who managed to reach this realm could be called overlords of the supreme path.

It was no wonder that such a person had become the three-time champion of the Four Worlds Star Ranking Contest and acted in such a domineering and direct manner. It turned out that he wasn’t all talk.

Swish!

Chu Zhongtian circled in the sky like a divine bird preparing to strike the nine heavens. When he charged again, everyone clearly noticed that his aura had become even more terrifying.

A pair of wings made of dense blade qi stretched from his back like the golden wings of a mighty peng. All of a sudden, blinding electricity exploded from the wings. It was so bright that it sucked away the breaths of anyone who saw it.

Someone shouted, "Thunderstorm Blade Wings!"

It was Heaven Axis Holy Land’s secret art that was extremely difficult to practice, but also exceptionally terrifying.

Once these blade wings were complete, they would greatly enhance both the user’s speed and combat power. They also boasted extremely astonishing destructive power that could cut through almost everything.

However, Lin Xun didn’t panic. He circulated the True Dragon Dao, causing the Hornless Ice Dragon Steps to instantly transcend itself. Lin Xun seemed to transform into a hornless ice dragon as he soared into the air in an oppressive manner.

Boom!

The two clashed once more amidst sword qi charging at the sky and fist-force akin to raging dragons.

The terrifying battle fluctuations churned like a raging sea as they swallowed the surroundings, leaving only the scene of two figures clashing repeatedly.

A moment later, both of them fell back.

Chu Zhongtian's expression was ice-cold. Blood spurted from his shoulder due to being brushed by fist-force that had just barely missed ripping off his head.

Lin Xun was surrounded by a clear flowing radiance as his presence seemed to engulf the world. He casually stood there like an almighty demon god capable of devouring the mountains and rivers.

"Demon God Lin is strong!" Many people’s hearts trembled at this sight.

Everyone was aware that Lin Xun had seized first place in the Little Giants List Competition at an age under thirty years and was already considered the number one person of the current era’s younger generation.

In comparison, Chu Zhongtian was undoubtedly much more dazzling. In the past thousand years, he had appeared thrice and won first place in the Four Worlds Star Rankings each time. He was an existence that could stir up the entire world and was regarded as an unparalleled genius.

Besides his sole loss to Yun Qingbai, he was basically invincible.

Now, however, Chu Zhongtian's overbearing attacks appeared incapable of taking down Demon God Lin, and he had even suffered slight injuries in the process!

Wouldn’t this mean that in terms of the supreme path, Demon God Lin had already surpassed the current era’s younger generation and possessed the strength to match the more veteran and experienced absolute apex giants?

That would be frightening if it was true!

Chu Zhongtian found himself unable to remain calm. He originally thought that he would be capable of crushing any opponent from the current era and only the previous generation's supreme path experts like himself could vie with him.

However, he had encountered a strong foe!

It was a situation that even he himself had a hard time believing.

When he lost to Yun Qingbai, the other party was already acknowledged as the number one person under the King stage. On the other hand, Demon God Lin was even younger than Yun Qingbai had been back then!

"You were so aggressive when you came, but this is all you have? I can only say that it was inevitable for you to be defeated by Yun Qingbai back then."

Lin Xun frowned.

He wasn’t trying to mock the other party. It was merely an honest evaluation after exchanging blows for real.

Chu Zhongtian was admittedly very strong. However, he had been overestimated by Lin Xun who had originally thought that a supreme figure like Chu Zhongtian, who once stirred up the world, should possess extremely terrifying battle power, especially after a thousand years of secluded cultivation.

Now, however, Lin Xun could only feel somewhat disappointed.

In truth, it wasn't that Chu Zhongtian wasn’t strong but because Lin Xun was already standing at an unprecedented point of the supreme path. Moreover, the year he had spent cultivating in the Immortal Secret Realm had allowed him to perfect his cultivation.

Currently, the only way for him to raise his battle power was to temper his martial dao power because there was already no room for improvement in his cultivation!

"What shameless boasting!"

Iciness flashed in Chu Zhongtian's eyes as he emotionlessly stared at Lin Xun and raised his right arm.

With a clang, a bronze battle spear that gave off a flowing, lightning-like sheen appeared.

"I’ll kill you!"

Thunder rumbled as he brandished his battle spear, causing it to release a spray of electricity. The blade wings on his back extended fully as he dove down from the sky like an eagle. Lin Xun’s words had hurt his pride.

He had always been far better than his peers since birth and was regarded as one of the strongest competitors to vie for greatness in the great age.

His only loss was to Yun Qingbai. It was a stain that would never be washed away no matter how much glory he achieved or how high he ascended.

However...he could lose to Yun Qingbai, but he could never tolerate being mocked and denigrated by a young man like Lin Xun!

Crack!

Lin Xun remained unfazed as he raised his hand and pointed. A Bi’an Stamp shot forth while gathering True Dragon Dao Ripple Power and ultimately clashed with the opponent’s spear.

That bronze battle spear was clearly an extraordinary ancient treasure. It boasted peerless sharpness, p
