The Prodigies War-Novel

Chapter 450 Heaven Defying Blade

Rumble!

The battle cries from the fierce struggle sounded like the roar of gods. Rays of blazing light overflowed the distant void, resembling a starry river.

“This is bad. Quickly run. The blade is too terrifying. No Spirit Sea cultivator can defend against the blade!” someone roared.

Cultivators fled in disarray like a breaking wave, their faces pale with terror. Among them were even the genius descendants of ancient sects.

They were all fleeing in panic!

“What exactly is that broken blade? Why is it so terrifying? How can it kill so many heroes? Quickly run!” yelled a young man wielding a golden spear.

Like a flash of lightning, he darted across the void. He was a peerless figure from the ancient Daoist sect Gathering Stars Pavilion. He was called Ran Yin.

From afar, Lin Xun narrowed his eyes as he saw a shaft of star-like blade light piercing the sky. The light blazed brightly like countless stars moving unhindered across the world, illuminating the mountains and rivers.

Many cultivators darted haphazardly, yelling in panic.

On closer look, he realized that a broken blade was releasing blinding starry light from its jet-black body. The silvery light engulfed everything with terrifying power like a river of stars.

Lin Xun’s heart pounded. A broken blade is suppressing a group of cultivators like an invincible king!

Only a terrifying ancient treasure able to connect with one’s spirit can possess such heaven-defying power.

Lin Xun thought that his spirit refining gourd was already remarkable, but he realized it was still inferior to the broken blade.

It wasn’t its power that was inferior, but its spiritual intelligence!

The broken blade seemed to possess intelligence as it launched a massacre upon the world. It was as strong as a mighty Heaven Ascension cultivator with its silvery starlight sweeping across the world, conquering mountains and rivers!

Pu!

Blood splattered everywhere. A middle-aged cultivator was fleeing frantically when a fierce ray of starlight streaked across the air. His head flew up into the air ,and his body collapsed to the ground.

Ah!

Some younger cultivators let out tragic shrieks before the raging silvery starlight enveloped and incinerated their bodies, leaving nothing but ashes behind.

The scene was extremely frightening. A broken blade had massacred cultivators in all directions and plunged the world into a purgatory.

“Run!”

Terrified, the cultivators fled frantically. The power of the broken blade was too powerful and unpredictable. No cultivator could defend against its starlight wherever it passed.

In just a few breaths, Lin Xun had witnessed at least twenty cultivators die a tragic death.

That was only what he had seen. Before he arrived, many more cultivators likely had died under the power of the broken blade!

So strong!

Lin Xun felt tempted. His heart ran wildly in his chest.

The broken blade was a mysterious divine weapon from ancient times and was regarded as one of the most terrifying among the ancient treasures left in the Treasure Drop Blood Plain.

The most unbelievable thing was that it was a damaged ancient treasure. It was hard to imagine how much more astonishing it would be in its undamaged state.

The fierce battle had to be caused by the broken blade’s appearance. Many cultivators’ eyes gleamed covetously as they looked at it, and they wanted to take possession of it.

However, no one expected the broken blade would possess such earth-shaking power.

To Lin Xun’s surprise, many cultivators were running wildly towards him, and the broken blade, shrouded in dazzling light, was catching up to them.

The cultivators sped past Lin Xun and not a single person took a glance at him. They were too focused on running for their lives.

The broken blade’s power had wiped away their courage.

“Boy, who are you? Do you not want to live anymore? Run!” a red-robed old man yelled when he saw Lin Xun standing there as he ran past.

“Run?”

A steely light flashed from Lin Xun’s dark eyes and then, under the old man’s horrified gaze, he met the blade head-on.

“That kid is crazy!”

The old man’s body went stiff and he cursed out loud, “He is so damn stupid. He would rather throw away his life for the blade!”

Many cultivators’ faces twisted with horror when they saw Lin Xun.

They couldn’t believe that someone would fearlessly face a broken blade that could massacre so many cultivators at once!

He seemed not to care about his life!

Lin Xun suddenly glowed. Blazing blue light surged around his body, and the violent power within his body was escaping his control.

The broken blade might possess immeasurable power, but Lin Xun saw it as the best opponent to temper himself and form his Origin Aeth Artery through battle.

It might seem crazy to many people, but he wouldn’t let go of such a good opportunity.

Clang!

The Violet Soul Blade flashed out of its sheath, and a clear cry pierced the air. It slashed through the air, meeting the broken blade head-on.

The world paled as if eternal night had descended and sparked all sorts of visions!

That was Star-Gather. Lin Xun might appear crazy, but he wouldn’t dare to be careless against a broken blade with an aura much fiercer than average Heaven Ascension cultivators.

Chi—

The broken blade shone brightly before a gush of silvery starlight swept toward Lin Xun. Instantly, the blade’s destructive power sent him hurtling across the air.

Blood overflowed from his mouth and trickled down his lips while the color drained from his face. He realized the terrifying power of the broken blade from just one strike.

The broken blade emitted a starry brilliance in the air. Its rays of dazzling light resembled multiple falling rivers of stars.

Just as the light was drowning him, he let out a long roar and his black hair billowed out around him. He again brought the Violet Soul Blade up in a sweeping motion.

A brilliant gush of blade qi rushed into the sky like a sapphire sea soaring to the moon, illuminating everything in the world.

Moon-Catch!

Boom!

The heaven and earth incessantly roared and boomed as the blazing light cloaked the area.

Horrified, many people closed their eyes tightly. Their hearts tumbled restlessly.

The silvery light suddenly flared up, blasting Lin Xun dozens of feet back, tearing his skin and aggravating his sword wounds.

He coughed up blood again and again, but he didn’t die!

The fleeing cultivators came to an abrupt halt, their countenances visibly changing. They couldn’t believe that someone could withstand the destructive blow from the broken blade.

Chi!

The broken blade flashed, delivering wild slashes across the universe as though Lin Xun had infuriated it. Enveloped in silvery waves, stars emerged one after another and crashed down towards him.

Boom!

It was another head-to-head clash. The air screeched while mountains and hills crumbled and collapsed one after another.

Cultivators who failed to escape in time suffered a direct impact. They collapsed to the ground with a thud, their souls almost escaping their bodies.

Lin Xun whizzed out of the bright silvery starlight with incredible speed, but his figure looked miserable and terrifying as blood dripped from all over his body. Even the air was dyed a chilling red.

He stood upright, clasping his blade tight. His black eyes flashed like lightning, and the aura around him resembled a grand abyss as it set off raging storms.

He seemed to have recovered from his severe injury and grown even stronger!

“Who is he?”

Many people had the same question, stunned by the power of the youth. The broken blade had massacred countless cultivators with its terrifying power and had caused fear to grip many others. No one dared to face the blade.

However, a young man suddenly appeared with a blade and withstood consecutive attacks from the broken blade despite being heavily wounded!

“Heavens, it’s him! The ruthless youngster who fought against the Heaven Ascension cultivator of the Supreme East Sword Sect!”

Cultivators in the distance also came to a stop, their faces horror-stricken when they recognized Lin Xun.

“He killed Heaven Ascension cultivator Qian Huai and was evenly matched with Daoist Bear. In the end, Daoist Bear was forced to retreat. Now, he wants to battle against the broken blade!”

“Who is he? Why haven’t I heard of him before?”

Commotions broke out from all directions!

Bang!

The broken blade erupted in a blaze of divine power, dancing under the sapphire sky and setting off starry brilliance.

Many cultivators shuddered at its terrifying power and even felt suffocated.

However, Lin Xun was unafraid. His aura continued to soar. He resembled a divine fiend looking over the world. With a boom, he charged forward, manipulating the Hornless Ice Dragon Step.

The two collided. Starlight filled the sky, and the rays of the blade drowned the world. The scene was too magnificent and too chilling.

Then, the area exploded. Brilliant rays bloomed. The broken blade slashed down through the air, filling every inch of space with dazzling starlight.

It was impossible to avoid!

Lin Xun constantly coughed up blood and continued to bleed as he staggered back.

Even so, he continued to grow stronger. He resembled a great furnace, burning all his energy, spirit, and qi to withstand the attack.

Then, there was a violent quake. The blood-red sky rippled turbulently, currents of terrifying murderous spirit flowed wildly everywhere, and blinding light engulfed the world like it was an apocalypse.

“Although he’s severely wounded, he blocked it!”

The fleeing cultivators came to a stop at the same time, watching the battle from afar with their eyes wide with amazement.

“He’s a Spirit Sea cultivator! He’s not even at the Heaven Ascension Stage yet, but he managed to block such a ferocious blade. The youngster is outrageously strong!”

“Did you see that his body was about to explode, yet his aura continued to grow stronger and stronger? I wonder if he had learned some kind of peerless secret art that strengthens himself in battle?”

“Impossible, there has to be a storehouse of power sealed within his body that is now being slowly released during the battle.”

A group of cultivators discussed spiritedly, their eyes flickering with bewilderment.

The broken blade had slaughtered even a Heaven Ascension cultivator, but the youngster at the Spirit Sea Stage was even more abnormal than the broken blade. The scene was unbelievable, as if belonging in myths and legends.

Rumble—

The fierce battle continued under the blue sky. The battle between Lin Xun and the broken blade, which everyone regarded as a heaven-defying weapon, made the world dim.

Lin Xun felt like his entire body was about to collapse. His wounds deepened, and he felt as though a mountainous weight was bearing down on him.

If it weren’t for the mysterious Hornless Ice Dragon Steps coupled with his steadily increasing power, he would have died on the spot, no longer existing in the world.

The only thing that excited Lin Xun was that his Origin Aerth Artery was rapidly being formed. The previous little section had completely transformed!

“I must form a complete Origin Aeth Artery before my body is blown to pieces. Otherwise, not only would all my efforts be wasted, but I would also lose my life to the blade!”

During the battle, Lin Xun bore a look of determination and ruthlessness. He was going berserk.

The battle might be a rare opportunity, but it was full of fatal danger. Would he manage to resolve his crisis in the end!?
