The Prodigies War

The crowd was exuberant.

Both Demon God Lin and Wang Xuanyu were feared by every expert present.

Hence, having these two tigers against each other when the blessing descended would naturally create more opportunities for the other experts.

Although Lin Xun and Wang Xuanyu also knew this, neither of them cared.

Experts like them had long since cultivated a mindset of invincibility. How could a mere confrontation possibly affect them?

"What...are you doing?!"

Someone shrieked upon noticing that Lin Xun was moving.

"I’m just passing through, no need to be nervous."

Lin Xun glanced at him and walked forward.

The expert tensed up, afraid that Lin Xun would murder him and take his spot.

However, he was overthinking it. Lin Xun was honestly just passing through.

The other experts’ eyes flickered in thought. It appeared that Demon God Lin did not wish to stay in the outermost region and was intending to move closer to the Divine Underworld Altar.

However, that meant that he would inevitably take someone’s spot!

Along the way, several experts who believed they weren’t Lin Xun's match forcibly restrained their reluctance and took the initiative to give way to him.

Oh?

Suddenly, Lin Xun noticed the North God Holy District successor, Zhen Yunfeng, nearby.

At the same time, Zhen Yunfeng transmitted, ''Brother Lin, you've come at the perfect time. I will fully support you when the battle for the blessing begins."

Lin Xun seemed to smile as he transmitted back, "Brother Zhen, didn't you say that splitting up and working independently will allow us to obtain more opportunities?"

Zhen Yunfeng's expression turned slightly uncomfortable. However, he still smiled and said, ''It isn’t appropriate to move independently in the present situation. At the very least, I can help Brother Lin tie up some of the Great One Sect experts!"

Lin Xun didn't delve any deeper. After all, his relationship with Zhen Yunfeng hadn't reached the point of turning hostile.

He asked, "Why aren’t Dao Friends Yin Xue and Zhan Luxiu with you?"

Zhen Yunfeng shook his head and transmitted, ''There were limited spots on the Underworld Boat so the two of them voluntarily gave up on this opportunity."

Lin Xun inwardly laughed. Who would voluntarily give up on the chance of obtaining such a heaven-defying blessing?

There were definitely some inaccuracies in Zhen Yunfeng’s explanation.

Although all three of them were from North God Holy District, his status was clearly the highest. Hence, even if Yin Xue and Zhan Luxiu were reluctant, they had no choice but to yield the opportunity to Zhen Yunfeng.

"Brother Zhen, I think it is best if you reconsider. Being in the same camp as me will mean having to deal with many enemies."

Lin Xun left those final words behind and headed forward.

Zhen Yunfeng was stunned as his expression fluctuated uncertainly.

In the beginning, he didn't greet Lin Xun when he arrived out of worry that it would bring trouble to him.

It was only later when Lin Xun displayed overwhelming power, killed someone to make an example, and intimidated the crowd such that even Wang Xuanyu didn’t dare to underestimate him that Zhen Yunfeng made the decision to be on Lin Xun’s side.

Awkwardly, however, Lin Xun didn’t seem to be interested in the proposal.

Zhen Yunfeng inwardly sighed. He naturally knew the reason for this.

When he first entered the Cave of the Divine Underworld, he made the decision to split up with Lin Xun and the others, which was equivalent to breaking their partnership.

In other words, that was when the ‘cracks’ in their relationship began to appear.

Moreover, it was a result of his own initiative!

The cold attitude displayed by Lin Xun made Zhen Yunfeng unhappy, but he couldn’t blame anyone but himself.

After all, it all started with his decision!

Zhen Yunfeng couldn't help but feel disappointed and frustrated for a time. He knew that it was probably already too late to repair his relationship with Lin Xun at this juncture.

After all, the scars on a broken vase could never be completely erased even if it was repaired!

……

Lin Xun finally encountered some obstruction in front of the blood-colored auspicious cloud closest to the Divine Underworld Altar.

"Demon God Lin, you’ve arrived late and the positions have already been decided long ago. Do you intend to seize them by force?"

The speaker was a heroic-looking man clad in silver battle armor. There was a horn on his head and a pair of silver wings on his back.

He was an ancient-era genius of the Tiger-Rhino Clan, Hua Tianhai!

His voice was cold and indifferent, and battle intent seemed to leap out from his eyes.

There were a total of twelve blood-colored auspicious clouds around the Divine Underworld Altar and only the strongest of the strong were able to stand atop them.

Hua Tianhai was strong indeed and had attained the first longevity tribulation stage!

Every gaze in the area converged toward them at that moment.

Lin Xun said, "We’ll decide this by strength. If I win, you give up your position, if I lose, I’ll leave."

Hua Tianhai's expression was ice-cold. ''If I disagree?"

Lin Xun smiled faintly. ''Then don't blame me for taking it by force."

Hua Tianhai's expression darkened as an intimidating icy aura erupted from his eyes. He said, ''You really think you’re something special, huh? If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m unwilling to risk any accidents before the battle for the blessing occurs, I would be the first one to kill you for that arrogant attitude!"

Lin Xun couldn’t be bothered to argue. "Are you fighting or not?"

"You..."

Hua Tianhai was furious. Just as a battle was about to break out, Hua Tianhai unexpectedly backed down.

With an ugly grimace, he voluntarily gave way!

A deafening silence immediately enveloped the area.

Everyone was shocked. Hua Tianhai's withdrawal made them reevaluate their understanding of Lin Xun's power.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun frowned but ultimately did not say anything.

"The nail that sticks out will always be hammered down. The more arrogant you are, the more miserable your death will be, Demon God Lin!"

Hua Tianhai inwardly sneered.

"Alas, being so brazen now will only trigger the scorn of the crowd. Why must you torture yourself so?"

In the distance, Zhen Yunfeng sighed. At this point, he completely extinguished any intentions of allying with Lin Xun.

When the blessing arrived and the battle started, who would everyone be most wary of?

There was no need to guess because it would undoubtedly be Lin Xun!

That was why he would most easily become everyone’s target!

Silence hung over the area for a time.

Strangely enough, no newcomers arrived in the time that followed.

Only Lin Xun knew that the skeleton boatman could likely no longer ferry anyone because the Blameless Lamp was now in his hands.

He turned his gaze to the altar

There were various offerings on the stone table that were covered by gorgeous celestial light and chaos qi, making it impossible to discern between illusion and reality.

Lin Xun knew that this was the power of the seal, and no one could take the offerings until the seal was lifted!

Time passed little by little.

Early the next morning, the colorful celestial light and chaos qi covering the altar began to evaporate inch by inch as if they were turning into bubbles.

The long-waiting experts’ hearts violently shook at this moment. Their gazes swiveled to the altar in unison as terrifying auras began to pulse from them.

They were ready!

Someone muttered, "It's coming..."

Rumble!

Without waiting for the seal to be completely lifted, someone suddenly moved. He soared into the sky and reached out toward the stone table on the altar.

However, an unbelievable scene soon followed. The expert abruptly began to shrink, turning to the size of a dust particle.

In comparison, the stone table on the altar now appeared bigger than a sacred mountain!

As a result, this expert’s aim fell short.

Xumi Art!

Everyone’s pupils shrank. It was Law Power! Although the altar appeared to be the size of a small mountain, it was actually immense beyond imagination!

"Charge!"

The others could no longer hold back and madly dashed toward the altar.

The first to move was naturally the group of experts closest to the altar. This was the very reason why they had occupied the geographical advantage.

Lin Xun was also among them.

Someone exclaimed, "My god! Are all of these legendary divine artifacts?"

The offerings on the stone table were gradually revealed. There were books, scrolls, cauldrons, precious herbs, and animal skins.

All of them exuded divine auras!

The blessing that had been sealed for thousands of years was finally revealed to the world at this moment!

Everyone's eyes instantly turned red with desire and madness as they aggressively rushed forward with all of their might.

It was a terrifying sight to behold especially since they were all King experts.

"This looks like the legendary Breath of Primal Chaos Cauldron; it must be a Saint treasure!" yelled someone as he excitedly attempted to seize one of the treasures.

Lin Xun also took notice of the object. It was indeed an extraordinary treasure that overflowed with misty divine light while radiating a grand and holy aura.

Someone else exclaimed, "A high-grade divine herb! It very likely contains the essence of a Reaching Heaven Grand Dao!"

It was a red coral-like plant from which a round purple sun hung. The purple sun shone brightly and was revealed to be a divine fruit upon closer inspection.

A fierce battle erupted as the experts rushed forward to vie for the treasures.

Experts clashed one after another, escalating the already frenzied atmosphere.

Lin Xun was the first batch of experts to move. He immediately channeled the True Dragon Grand Dao into the Hornless Ice Dragon Step, allowing him to move swiftly as if he was teleporting from place to place.

However, the Xumi Law above that altar made it appear small even though it was actually as big as an entire world, especially the stone table which now appeared akin to a majestic mountain.

Even with Lin Xun's speed, it took more than ten breaths to reach the top of the stone table.

Only five or six people also arrived at the same time as him.

Among them was the Great One Sect's Wang Xuanyu.

Rustle!

Lin Xun didn't pay them any attention because his focus immediately locked onto ancient leather scripture as he executed the Baxia Imprisonment to retrieve it.

To his dismay, however, the ancient leather scripture dodged as if it were alive and reappeared at another location.

Lin Xun took a deep breath and spread out his spirit sense. He abruptly locked onto the ancient leather scripture and scanned it, only for his eyelids to jump a split second later.

It’s fake!

The ancient leather scripture was nothing but an illusion!

"Damnit, the treasure isn’t real!"

Meanwhile, an angry curse rang out. One of the experts was cursing at the purple sun-like divine herb.

The faces of several experts immediately changed.

Was the heaven-defying blessing that had been sealed for thousands of years actually a heaven-shaking hoax?

"Charge!"

"Who dares to obstruct me?"

More experts were swiftly arriving. They were still unaware of the situation and were filled with excitement and killing intent, ready to seize the treasures.

"Wait, some of them are real!"

Suddenly, Lin Xun noticed Wang Xuanyu retrieve a crimson goose egg-sized bead that seemed to contain raging divine flames.

Upon noticing Lin Xun's gaze, Wang Xuanyu’s eyes narrowed before he chuckled and said, ''Brother Lin, are you thinking about making a move right now?"
