The Prodigies War-Novel

Zhu Yingkong was dressed in a bright yellow robe. His face was luminous and clean, and his eyebrows were sharp. The whites of his eyes were sharp, and his pair of eyes were clear and full of spirit.

He was the leader of the Absolute Yin Camp, and he was the direct heir of the Torch Dragon Clan. People extolled him as one in ten thousand genius and was one of the best in the universe.

Next to him, Zhu Yingxue frowned, expressing her dissatisfaction, "Elder Brother, we are here to attack the city, not to hear you praise the man surnamed Lin."

"If you want to attack the city, then you first must break the formation. This particular array has both offensive and defensive parts. It is dense and obscure. Even with my ability, it will takestto understand its essential secrets."

Zhu Yingkong muttered, "Younger Sister, you don't have to worry. Xue Qingyi and the others have already led a group of strong experts to set up a formation near the Black Cliff Sea. If nothing goes wrong, then Lin Xun will definitely die."

He paused and then continued, "Without Lin Xun in charge of this city, it will only be a matter of tbefore it is destroyed."

There was absolute confidence in his voice.

"That's good." Zhu Yingxue revealed a sweet smile.

Neither Xue Qingyi nor Lin Xun had expected that when the Origin MaSecret Realm descended, the two siblings from the Torch Dragon Clan would actually take the opportunity to cto the Ancient Wasteland Domain’s City of Protection. They were planning on dismantling the formation and then destroying the city!

But to Zhu Yingkong, this was nothing at all. Not only was he confident in his own strength, but he was also confident in his dao rune attainments!

After all, the Torch Dragon Lineage had one of the best inheritances in the art of the runes within the eight domains.

Of course, it was not just Zhu Yingkong and his sister who were attacking the city this time. There were many other strong cultivators from the Absolute Yin Ancient Domain waiting in the dark.

Suddenly, a pair of strange halos appeared in Zhu Yingkong's eyes. One was black and the other white, resembling yin and yang. Strange, mysterious symbols flowed out from them.

Eyes of the Torch Dragon!

According to legends, when a Torch Dragon opened its eyes, it becday, and when it closed its eyes, it becnight. Its breath could cause winter and summer respectively. It had the ability to control day and night, and the four seasons. It was a terrifying creature with great magical powers.

Of course, legends were just legends after all, but the Eyes of the Torch Dragon was recognized by the universe as a first-class innate ability.

With this ability, one can see through the true nature of all things, gain insight into the essence of all things, and all illusions can be clearly broken through.

This was also an important reason why almost all the cultivators from the Torch Dragon Clan were able to have extremely high attainments in art of runes.

People who had this ability had an absolute innate advantage in cultivating the art of runes!

Soon, Zhu Yingkong's eyes were able to see the entirety of the array that protected the city, including the traces of the great formations that were imprinted on the city wall. Everything was displayed in detail.

“Four killing formations and eight defensive formations..." he muttered.

"What a powerful array. Even the ground under the city has been covered by the rune formation. Basically, all of the powers of the heavens and earth are contained in one city. The so-called formation of heaven and earth with the sforce is nothing more than that."

He paused and then continued, "He was able to build such a large-scale Saint-level forbidden array in only about half a year. Sof the older rune grandmasters in our clan may not even compare to him…”

After a moment, Zhu Yingkong then showed a surprised expression. "Hey, the layout of this kind of rune pattern is really mysterious and rare. The arrays are self-contained, and every brick and stone of the city has been turned into a part of the formation. Why have I never heard of this method before?"

As someone who was a descendent of the Torch Dragon Lineage, he had seen many different kinds of formations and arrays, but he had never seen such a strange, foreign dao rune array.

It was as if the city had been completely integrated and incorporated into the large array. The formation was the city, and the city was the formation. No matter how different they were, as long as the formation was not broken, the city could exist forever!

If the situation was a bit different, then Zhu Yingkong wouldn’t be able to resist inspecting it carefully and slavishly.

After all, this kind of rune formation would be considered shocking even in the glorious past let alone now. In fact, it was unique among the eight domains, and the secrets contained in it were also astonishing.

"Where did Lin Xun, a young man from the Ancient Wasteland Domain, obtain such a dao rune inheritance? Why have I never heard of it?"

Zhu Yingkong was quite astonished.

As far as he knew, there had never been any powerful dao rune sects in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, and there were no immense clans that passed down rune inheritances.

But Lin Xun had set up such an incredible formation, which was absolutely not within his expectations.

Of course, Zhu Yingkong didn't know that Lin Xun's rune knowledge had cfrom Lu Boya, who wasn’t someone from the nine domains.

Naturally, if Lin Xun knew that Zhu Yingkong was shocked by all of this, he would also find it very odd. After all, the rune formations that he had learned about since childhood were all like this!

After waiting for a long time, there was no reaction from Zhu Yingkong, so Zhu Yingxue couldn't help but ask, "Elder Brother, is everything okay?"

Zhu Yingkong woke up from his thoughts. A flash of light glittered in his eyes as he said, "Younger Sister, right now I really hope that Lin Xun will not be killed by Xue Qingyi and those other guys.”

Zhu Yingxue was surprised, "Why?"

"Because this guy’s rune inheritance must be extremely wondrous and powerful beyond imagination. It is even more impressive than our Torch Dragon Clan’s suprrune inheritance. Furthermore, it’s a complete inheritance. If I can seize this for myself…”

As he spoke, a burning light appeared in Zhu Yingkong's eyes. "Then I am absolutely confident that I can recreate what our ancestor did and use the power of runes to build a path to beca Great Emperor!"

Zhu Yingxue was shocked, but she was also quite miffed by this revelation. "What kind of qualifications does that guy have to be compared with the rune inheritance of our clan?"

Zhu Yingkong simply smiled and didn't bother explaining further.

It was enough that he was aware of how extraordinary Lin Xun’s rune inheritance was. He didn’t care if other people didn’t realize its significance.

Zhu Yingkong ordered, “Younger Sister, go send someone to Black Cliff Sea to take a look. If Lin Xun is dead, then remember to take all of his belongings."

Zhu Yingxue frowned. "Will Xue Qingyi and the others agree to this?"

She was well aware that Xue Qingyi had asked her older brother to deal with Lin Xun together, but her brother had refused.

Zhu Yingkong said without hesitation, "Then tell him that I only want the things that are related to runes. As long as he agrees to that, then, I, Zhu Yingkong, can owe him a favor."

Zhu Yingxue was totally astonished now. Her brother had an unshakable position in the Absolute Yin Ancient Domain. Any big shot would be tempted to have him owe a favor to them!

From this, she could also see how much importance Zhu Yingkong attached to this rune inheritance on Lin Xun.

Without further delay, Zhu Yingxue hurried away.

Zhu Yingkong continued to stay where he was as he used Eyes of the Torch Dragon to gain more insight into the mysteries of the array hidden within the City of Protection.

The more he looked, the more excited he became.

It was as if he had found a way to becan Emperor, and he couldn't help but feel a desire to succeed.

But soon, Zhu Yingkong calmed down.

His most urgent task was to see through the essence of this formation, break through the city, and destroy the Ancient Wasteland Camp’s foundation for survival!

…

On the top of the city in the distance, Shaohao and Ruowu stood side by side.

"As expected, when the Origin MaSecret Realm arrived, someone with ulterior motives took the opportunity to jump out as soon as Lin Xun left."

Shaohao frowned as he recognized Zhu Yingkong.

There was a hint of worry between Ruowu's brows. "The Torch Dragon Clan is the best at runes and formations. He is obviously trying to decipher the mystery of the great array that surrounds the city. It would be bad if he figures it out."

Zhu Yingkong looked to be alone, but standing behind him was the entire Absolute Yin Camp, which was enough to make anyone scared.

Once he saw through the secret of the city's formation, then it would no longer be able to protect the city!

Shaohao smiled. "Sure enough, none of the Azure Blue Eight Supremes are easy to deal with. However, we don't need to worry. When he left, Lin Xun said as long as we stay in the city, we will be invincible."

Ruowu sighed softly, "You know, I’m currently the most worried about Lin Xun. Zhu Yingkong has dared to show up here so arrogantly. I don't know how many dangers are waiting for Lin Xun at the Origin MaSecret Realm."

Shaohao was silent for a while, but in the end he still smiled and said, "How many Saints have fallen to him? Since things are going well, let’s trust him and see what else he has in store. After all, Lin Xun himself has said so. Since he dared to go, he must be absolutely sure in his preparations."

"I hope so……" Ruowu murmured.

…

Tpassed bit by bit, and Zhu Yingkong's expression becmore and more serious and concentrated. Even with the Eyes of the Torch Dragon, he still found it extremely difficult to decipher the mystery of the great formation in the city.

One reason was because it was quite obscure and complex, but the most fundamental reason was that he had never seen such dao rune methods before!

“Elder Brother, things are not good!"

Suddenly, a panicked voice sounded in Zhu Yingkong's ears. He immediately looked away and turned around to see his sister Zhu Yingxue rushing towards him with an anxious look on her face.

"What happened? Did Xue Qingyi not agree?" Zhu Yingkong frowned.

Zhu Yingxue looked panicked. "No, it was Xue Qingyi and the others... They were defeated!"

Zhu Yingkong also felt caught off guard at this moment. A look of astonishment surfaced on his face. As far as he knew, Xue Qingyi had summoned hundreds of suprSaints and more than eight hundred True Saints this time.

In addition, two additional leaders, Shi Pohai and Hua Hongxiao, had also cas well. It should have been a piece of cake to kill Lin Xun, who was alone.

But how could it have...failed?

Zhu Yingkong's first reaction was to wonder if the news was wrong.

But after hearing Zhu Yingxue's explanation, Zhu Yingkong couldn't help but be uncertain. If this was true, wouldn't it mean that Lin Xun alone could slaughter Xue Qingyi and the others easily?

How could that be possible?

Not long after, there was a sound of something breaking through the void in the distance, and ssuprSaints from the Absolute Yin Territory cthrough the void. Every single one of them looked horrified and panicked.

"Young Master, something bad has happened. Xue Qingyi and the others have been defeated by the Origin MaSecret Realm!"

"According to a Saint from the Star Fiend Ancient Domain who had luckily escaped with his life, there were nearly hundreds of suprSaints there, but Xue Qingyi, Shi Pohai, and Hua Hongxiao were all unable to defeat Lin Xun, so they all fled after being horribly defeated!”

"Young Master, it is not appropriate to stay here for much longer!"

Zhu Yingkong finally understood the whole story of the battle after hearing several people gasp and yelp. He couldn't help but take a breath, and his heart was shaken.

For a while, countless doubts cto Zhu Yingkong's mind, making him look uncertain and uneasy.

"Elder Brother, do we have to leave quickly?"

Zhu Yingxue was so frightened that her face turned pale. Just hearing the news gave her chills. It was so unbelievable and terrifying!
