The Prodigies War-Novel

“The good show is about to begin.”

Ahu’s clear eyes were alight with an indescribable glow. She seemed somewhat excited.

Gray mist shrouded the deathly still sea region, making Lin Xun aware of the eerie atmosphere even though he was on the Grand Universe Ark.

It was as if something ominous would happen at any time.

Toady’s face had become overcast. He had changed from his usual self ever since he returned to the Dao Burial Sea Mound. He was restless, uneasy, irritable, and abnormally quiet.

Before long, Lin Xun noticed the figures of six Life Death Stage Kings streaking across the sky like rainbows, coming in his direction with terrifying speed.

Their mighty powers surged around them and the divine rhythm of the great dao flowed all over their bodies. Their brilliance could be seen miles away like divine beings.

However, regardless of how powerful they were, they failed to dispel the gray mist that shrouded the entire sea, sky, and everything around them.

Grave expressions came to their faces.

They were at the Dao Burial Sea Mound, an ancient battlefield according to legends, and where a true Saint King had fallen!

Saint-King!

An almighty figure who had set foot on the pinnacle of the Saint Path, becoming as bright and splendid as the sun and moon and living almost as long as heaven and earth.

But in the end, he also died grudgingly. Imaginably, the battle that broke out there had to be earthshaking and terrifying.

Knowing that, even Life Death Stage Kings had to be on the alert and extremely cautious as if they were facing a formidable enemy. No one dared to make any careless movements.

“Is this the good show you are talking about?”

Lin Xun’s heart sank and his black eyes narrowed. The distance between them was too close. If they didn’t leave soon, then the Life Death Stage Kings would soon notice their presence.

“Don’t worry, just wait quietly and watch the show.” Ahu’s eyes shone with a mysterious light.

Her features were breathtakingly beautiful like a painting. When she saw the Life Death Stage Kings nearing them, she seemed a little disappointed rather than apprehensive and scared.

“Why are there only a few of them? The other old monsters didn’t come...” she murmured. “But it should still be enough.”

Lin Xun glanced at Ahu. She...seems to know what is going to happen.

At that moment, the Life Death Stage Kings’ eyes lit up. They discovered the Grand Universe Ark and were cautiously approaching them at the same time.

There were six of them in total, but they didn’t launch into action right away. Instead, they were wary and vigilant of each other.

The reasons for that were quite simple. On the one hand, they were situated in the ominous and peculiar Dao Burial Sea Mound and they dared not act rashly.

On the other hand, they were indeed wary of and in conflict with each other!

Lin Xun had great treasures on him, which they had all known already, but no one would allow such a great fortune to be taken away by someone else.

They all knew that Lin Xun wasn’t difficult to deal with. The most terrifying thing that could happen was the conflicts and bloody battles breaking out with one another for the great treasures!

They were all old monsters who had lived for a large number of years and developed great battle and life experiences, so they knew they mustn’t act rashly.

The patriarch of the Scarlet Bird Clan sneered, “Little guy, why are you not running away? Can you not endure any longer?” His eyes flashed a cold, sinister glint, as though he had discovered Lin Xun’s whereabouts.

Lin Xun kept silent.

“It seems like you also know that this is the Dao Burial Sea Mound, a place of great danger since ancient times, so you don’t dare to move around recklessly,” another patriarch remarked indifferently. “Since you have already decided to not put up a fight, why don’t you leave this place first with us? If you cooperate with us, then perhaps we can let you live.”

The words struck the minds of everyone there.

After all, they were situated in the Dao Burial Sea Mound, where even the strongest experts wouldn’t dare to venture in.

It was a well-known place of great misfortune, where many peculiar and terrifying creatures existed. They would launch frantic attacks if they sensed any intruders.

In the past, several Life Death Stage Kings had also, without exception, lost their lives there!

If it hadn’t been completely necessary, none of them would willingly choose to compete and kill each other for the treasures on Lin Xun.

Lin Xun still kept quiet, waiting patiently for the so-called good show.

However, Toady’s expression had become the worst it had been. “Demon girl, what are you playing at? If you fail, then we both will have to suffer misfortune with you,” he grumbled in a low voice.

Ahu pursed her cherry-red lips as though telling Toady to be patient.

“Little bastard, hurry up and come out! Don’t force me to kill you now!” a patriarch threatened impatiently. He regarded Lin Xun as meat on a chopping board that he could slaughter any time he wanted.

Another patriarch reminded him, “Could there be some sort of trap?”

He found it unusual that Lin Xun and the others would come to a stop even if they were on the Grand Universe Ark.

“You are worrying too much. We are on the periphery of the Dao Burial Sea Mound, so we can quickly leave even if there is danger.” The black-robed man didn’t take his worries seriously. “Also, we have surrounded them, so how can the kid struggle out of here by himself?”

The other patriarch smiled in relief.

A patriarch with green hair and blue wings on his back said coldly, “Little guy, we have limited patience. I advise you to obediently cooperate with us and come out now. Otherwise, when we make a move, then you will have to meet with death!”

Lin Xun still kept silent, but Toady couldn’t endure their arrogance anymore and flew into a rage, “You guys talk so much nonsense, do it if you have the guts! If you don’t then get lost!”

“What did you say!?” Everyone’s faces darkened. The fact that the opposing party still dared to provoke them at such a time was an insult to them.

“Everyone, please do me a favor. I want to take back that person’s head to make it into a cup. Don’t snatch it from me!” The green-haired patriarch’s voice was thick with murderous intent.

“It’s just a head, you can take it. We care more about the treasures on that kid!"

All the patriarchs spoke out, their voices filled with ruthlessness and disdain.

“You guys talk so nonsense. Come on, let’s see which one of you dares to act first!” Toady taunted.

“You have a death wish! Everyone, we all came here for the treasures, so how about I capture and kill him first, and then we can discuss the ownership of the treasures?” The black-robed man had been utterly infuriated. It was the greatest shame for him to be provoked by a junior.

“Sounds good.”

The other patriarch’s eyes flickered as they contemplated, but they all nodded in agreement in the end.

They were experienced and knowledgeable. How would they let Toady’s words disturb their minds? Their only worry was to fight for the treasures.

In other words, Lin Xun and the other two were no different from dead in their eyes.

What only deserved their attention was the dangers of the Dao Burial Sea Mound and also the possible conflicts that might break out.

Boom!

Without any hesitation, the black-robed old man made a move. A giant hand seemingly constructed from divine flames reached to grab the ark.

“They’re coming!” Toady froze. His heart leapt to his throat and his mouth dried up. He couldn’t help feeling nervous in the face of an attack from a Life Death Stage King.

Lin Xun also tensed up.

Only Ahu’s clear eyes were glistening. She said softly, “The good show has begun...”

As the giant hand blotted out the sky, blazing and gorgeous flames seemed to be converging and setting the air aflame.

It was the power belonging to a Life Death Stage King. It no doubt could startle the universe!

The other patriarch nodded inwardly, knowing that the opposing party couldn’t possibly survive or escape from such an attack even with the help of the Grand Universe Ark!

Their thoughts quickly shifted to how to divide up the kid’s treasures...

However, at the same time, whether it was the black-robed old man or the other patriarch, they all froze and felt a shiver go down their spines.

Pu!

A graceful figure loomed in the gray mist, releasing a terrifying aura that made everything in the world shudder.

Boom!

The monstrous flame hand exploded into nothingness before it neared the ark.

A patriarch cried out, petrified with fear, “That...that person is...”

The others were as shocked and furious as him. An incomparably strong feeling of imminent danger enveloped them like they had sunk into the asura hell.

The cause of everything was the beautiful figure drifting within the gray mist.

It was a woman, given its blurry but beautiful and graceful figure shrouded in dense gray mist. An obscure force circulated her body, making it impossible for people to peek at her face.

In the eyes of the old monsters, the maiden in the mist was like a ruler of heaven and earth. She gave off a devastating aura that could wipe out every being on earth.

Even their spirits seemed to be trembling. They were like ants facing a real god, unable to control their panic and fear from spreading all over their bodies.

Who…who is she?

Could she be some powerful being from the Dao Burial Sea Mound?

“It’s her!”

Lin Xun shuddered. He recognized the beautiful figure. It was the terrifying figure whom he had once spotted within the depths of the Wraith Army.

At that time, she had appeared with a peculiar buddha figure and left an unerasable impression on Lin Xun.

He never thought that she would appear again at such a time!

Could she be the ‘help’ that Ahu spoke about?
