The Prodigies War

Muuuuu!

The moment Lin Xun pressed his finger, everyone had a feeling he was no longer human. Instead, it felt like a dormant true dragon was coming out of hibernation.

No one felt more clearly the impact of this strike than his opponent Zhan Luxiu. For a split second, he felt like he was drowning in the river of time.

Both his body and mind were hit by a vast momentum!

His pupils shrunk and his eyes hurt. It was as if what he was faced with was not a simple press of the finger, but the momentum accumulated through all the ages, and it all came crashing down on him.

He let out a furious roar, and his energy boiled as it operated to the limit to resist.

However, he only looked like a mantis desperately resisting the wheel of time – exceptionally small!

With a bang, he was sent flying uncontrollably like a broken kite.

It had all happened in a moment. When Zhen Yunfeng noticed that something was wrong, it was already to stop it.

Boom!

Ten thousands of feet away, a mountain rumbled as it collapsed under the collision with Zhan Luxiu. Rubble flew everywhere in a cloud of dust.

The jaws of the onlookers dropped, and the scene was strangely silent.

Zhan Luxiu was a bright star, a supreme talent of the North God Holy District who had stepped into the Supreme King stage.

But he had failed to block even a finger and had been absolutely crushed!

No one here would have dared to believe this if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes.

Covered in dust, Zhan Luxiu crawled up from the ground, looking extremely disheveled as he coughed up blood.

The atmosphere became awkward when Zhen Yunfeng’s group saw Zhan Luxiu’s sorry state. Their hearts churned in shock. Is this guy Jin Duyi…actually a hidden expert?

“Again!”

The roar came from Zhan Luxiu, who was charging over with a murderous aura. He looked livid, and his eyes nearly cracked in fury as he thought he had just been careless.

“Can’t accept your defeat?” said Lin Xun. In a flash, he had also charged forward.

“Stop!” shouted Zhen Yunfeng despite not having processed his previous shock.

But it was a step too late. With a loud bang, Zhan Luxiu was once again sent flying with a press of Lin Xun’s finger.

Boom!

Zhan Luxiu smashed into the ground, creating a human-shaped crater. Dust rolled out, and the ground was shaking as if there was an earthquake.

The scene was so pitiful that even Ji Xingyao couldn’t bear to see it.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun had already returned to the spot where he had originally stood, looking calm and relaxed as if the one who had just struck out wasn’t him at all.

When Zhen Yunfeng’s group gazed at him again, their manner had completely changed, containing anger, suspicion and apprehension.

At this point, anyone could see that ‘Jin Duyi’ was extremely powerful and had the ability to crush Zhan Luxiu!

On the other hand, Mo Tianhe looked gloomy.

He had been watching very closely, and was surprised to find that ‘Jin Duyi’ was even more stronger than the Demon God Lin he knew, unreasonably so!

Moreover, the energy, the dao, and the technique that he had used during the battle was completely different from that of Demon God Lin’s.

“He really isn’t Demon God Lin? But since he’s so powerful, he shouldn’t be a nameless person…” Mo Tianhe couldn’t figure it out.

“Again!” In the distance, Zhan Luxiu once again charged over like a madman.

“Enough!” shouted Zhen Yunfeng with a dark face.

Zhan Luxiu was livid and embarrassed, but he eventually stopped.

And then, Zhen Yunfeng turned to Lin Xun and said in a polite tone, “If I’m not mistaken, then the grand dao you have just used should be related to the True Dragon Lineage, isn’t it?”

Lin Xun was stunned. He replied, “Not bad.”

Upon hearing this, everyone else revealed a look of realization and looked at Lin Xun even more differently.

He’s related to the True Dragon Clan? He’s not simple at all!

“The True Dragon Lineage?” Mo Tianhe felt like his thoughts were a mess.

Ji Xingyao, who was the only one who knew of Lin Xun’s identity, almost couldn’t hold back a laugh. If Demon God Lin came from the True Dragon Lineage, would the major powers still dare to bully him when back in the Ancient Wasteland Domain?

“Hahahaha, then it will undoubtedly be a blessing with an expert like Brother Jin joining us.” Zhen Yunfeng laughed loudly, appearing enthusiastic as his attitude towards Lin Xun had taken a complete 180, “We’ve been blind and failed to recognize your strength. I hope you will forgive us, Brother Jin.”

Lin Xun cupped his fist. “You’ve exaggerated, fellow daoist.”

However, he inwardly put his guard up. Zhen Yunfeng definitely wasn’t simple, being able to take what came with equanimity. If they became enemies, then this man would definitely be an opponent that could not be underestimated.

“Well then, we shouldn’t delay further. Let’s set off,” said Ji Xingyao.

“Indeed, we must hurry. From what I know, some other forces are also planning to head to the Underworld River Forbidden Zone.” Zhen Yunfeng looked serious, “The average ones are nothing to worry about, but there are two forces that we need to watch out for.”

“Who?” Mo Tianhe couldn’t help but ask.

“The Skyless Sect and the Golden Crow Clan,” replied Zhen Yunfeng.

Upon the mention of the Skyless Sect, everyone’s heart jumped as it was a grand sect from the Hidden Holy Lands whose foundation was deep beyond imagination.

And at the mention of the Golden Crow Clan, many people couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

Mo Tianhe sneered. “When they were in the Burning Immortal World, their seventh prince, Wu Lingfei, was killed by Demon God Lin. Not long ago, their Flying Star Mountain where they were stationed was also decimated in a bloody killing spree. And yet, they still dare to think about the fortunes in the Underworld River Forbidden Zone? Are they tired of living?”

However, Zhen Yunfeng shook his head and reminded them, “Never underestimate the depth of the Golden Crow Lineage. In the ancient era, no one dared to come to their Sunset Current Valley and mess with them, not even Saints.

“While it’s true that they’ve suffered at the hands of Demon God Lin, they are still far from being ‘decimated.’

“From what I know, after their thirteenth prince, Wu Lingdao, knew of what happened to Wu Lingfei and Wu Lingfeng, he has halted his training in the Abysmal Water Realm and traveled to the Mythic Fire Realm, vowing to kill Demon God Lin!”

Hearing this, a cold gleam imperceptibly flashed across Lin Xun’s eyes.

Back in the Mythic Fire Realm, he had heard that there were a total of three powerful figures from the Golden Crow Clan that had entered the Supreme Realm this time – Seven Prince Wu Lingfei, Ninth Prince Wu Lingfeng, and Thirteenth Prince Wu Lingdao.

“Wu Lingdao is a ruthless character. He might be one of the youngest, but his battle prowess is the top among his brothers, for which he is regarded as the ‘Little Battle King’ of the Golden Crow Lineage. In the ancient era, he also entered the Supreme Realm, and there were a handful of top-class geniuses who died at his hands. Now that he has become a Supreme King, we must not let our guard down if we come across him in the Underworld River Forbidden Zone.”

Zhen Yunfeng had a solemn look as he explained. Obviously, he had some apprehension about Wu Lingdao.

Everyone couldn’t help but take this seriously as well.

While conversing, they had already started traveling towards the Underworld River Forbidden Zone.

The journey was uneventful until they reached the primordial mountain forest, where they finally slowed down and proceeded with care.

This forest was the periphery of the Underworld River Forbidden Zone.

Lin Xun could clearly feel the difference of this place compared to several days ago. The strange atmosphere permeating this primitive mountain forest had become much thinner.

One wouldn’t even notice it unless they carefully sensed it.

Buzz~~

Not long after, a swarm of six-winged blood mosquitoes appeared and flew toward the group, making their hearts jump in shock.

Zhen Yunfeng took a deep breath and reminded them, “Be careful everyone. Those creatures come in swarms and are extremely vicious and fearless. Don’t get entangled with them.”

But to everyone’s surprise, the mosquitoes seemed to have sensed something horrifying and made an U turn before they even got close. In the blink of an eye, they all vanished into the forest.

“They…fled?” Even Zhen Yunfeng thought he was seeing things wrong.

“Perhaps they were scared of us. After all, our combined force is enough to run rampant in the Mythic Fire Realm,” said Mo Tianhe said with a proud expression.

Lin Xun only smiled, not saying a word.

Those six-winged blood mosquitoes weren’t stupid. They were indeed fierce and fearless, but there were still times when they were slaughtered to the point that fear became the only choice!

In the last ten days, he had killed no fewer than a thousand of them, causing these ferocious mosquitoes to flee in fear as soon as he showed up!

“Did you do something?” a dubious Ji Xingyao asked Lin Xun through voice transmission.

“I think that your Senior Brother Mo is right,” replied Lin Xun without batting an eyelash.

“You think I’d believe that?” Ji Xingyao rolled her eyes.

“Alright, I admit it, they were scared of me.” Lin Xun laughed.

“Like hell I’d believe you.” Ji Xingyao snorted, her expression clearly saying, ‘Stop bragging.’

Lin Xun was speechless. Women are so hard to understand. No matter if I tell them lies or truths, they couldn’t care less. They only believe in their own judgment.

During the next part of the journey, the atmosphere gradually became heavy.

This place was covered in towering ancient trees, causing it to be dark and damp. This coupled with the distribution of various ferocious and poisonous insects that couldn’t be seen in the outside world created a bone-chilling atmosphere.

No one dared to be careless.

But the strange thing was, the whole journey had been safe, and not once had the group encountered any challenges!

Any ferocious creature they came across would flee the other way in a terrified manner, looking as if they wished to have been born with more legs to run.

The most recent example had been just now, when an azure-scaled python as thick as a bucket and as long as a thousand feet appeared. Its aura was so terrifying that Zhen Yunfeng’s group tensed up, ready to fight a vicious battle.

Who would have thought that the python only let out a wail before fleeing like crazy, smacking into trees left and right in the process.

It left the group with a dumbfounded and speechless look.

“Why do I feel like that python was afraid of you?” Ji Xingyao couldn’t help but ask again.

“I captured it the other day and took a piece of meat from it to cook snake soup, but the flavor was bad as it had a fishy smell that I couldn’t get rid of,” Lin Xun casually said.

“You’re bragging again!” Ji Xingyao threw him a glare.

Lin Xun was helpless. He could swear that it wasn’t a lie, so it was not his fault that this girl insisted on not believing.

“Be alert, everyone. We’re approaching the Underworld River Forbidden Zone. It’s an extremely bizarre and ominous place that we must not take lightly,” Zhen Yunfeng warned.

Lin Xun looked ahead, only to see a blood-red world at the end of the primitive forest, blindingly red!
