The Prodigies War

Chapter 1175 Eighteen Tribulations

They both used the same Wei Tuo’s Wrath, but Mu Jing, one of the eighteen disciples of the Earth Treasury Temple who had practiced Buddhism since a young age, lost! He lost to an outsider!

Mu Zheng and the others all stared at each other in dismay and shouted in unison, “Heretic!”

Their voices were filled with shock and anger.

Mu Jing, on the other hand, was in utter disbelief. It was a huge blow to him to be defeated under the sacred inheritance art that he was best at.

“You’re so aggressive!”

A young monk with beautiful delicate features stepped forward and mumbled cryptic sounds. His Buddhist name was Mu Heng.

Instantly, a ray of black buddha light condensed into a ruyi scepter.

The ruyi scepter was around three feet long and marked with buddhist inscriptions. As it swung down, it had the force to suppress heaven and earth.

Ruyi Earth Treasury Art!

At the same time, Lin Xun also chanted cryptic sounds, activating the Ruyi Earth Treasury Art.

However, the ruyi he formed was as huge as a mountain, almost filling the sky, and the buddhist inscriptions were made up of terrifying black phoenix flames.

Bang!

They both activated the same art, but Mu Heng was defeated. His face paled, his chest heaved, and he almost coughed up blood.

Mu Zheng and the others frowned in disbelief and fury.

It was unimaginable that an outsider was able to suppress two of their fellow disciples with the sacred inheritance arts of their Earth Treasury Temple!

“Isn’t it embarrassing that you lost to me, a heretic in your eyes? Also, you were defeated by the cultivation arts you are most skilled at?”

Lin Xun looked dignified with Buddha light flowing all over him and a holy air surrounding him. He looked more like a Buddhist disciple than the disciples of Earth Treasury Temple.

Mu Zheng’s and the others’ faces darkened.

“Senior and Junior Brothers, that man has clearly grasped the dao scriptures that Master Duji left behind. If we don’t get rid of him today, then the orthodoxy of our Earth Treasury Temple will be ruined!” Mu Zheng yelled.

All the other monks vowed solemnly. “I am willing to sacrifice my life to vanquish demons!”

Boom!

Battle immediately broke out. The eighteen disciples of the Earth Treasury Temple all brought out their ultimate arts and tried to suppress Lin Xun from all directions.

Buddha light surged and raged, faint chanting filled the air, and all sorts of spectacular visions emerged.

The area seemed to have been transformed into a buddhist war zone!

At the same time, Lin Xun also launched into attack mode. Buddha light spread out from his feet, condensing into a black grade-nine lotus platform, and a black phoenix hovered above his head, producing melodious cries that echoed to the nine heavens.

“Burn!”

A monk leapt onto a tremendous dragon, like a dragon subduing Arhat. The string of rosary beads around his wrist suddenly glowed and shot out waves of blazing Buddha fire.

An inheritance art of the Earth Treasury Temple—The World Purifying Lotus Fire!

Lin Xun’s black eyes remained calm, but the light of wisdom flickered across his face. He swiped his sleeve across the air, responding with the same World Purifying Lotus Fire.

Instantly, following the collision of Buddha light, the monk in black was scorched and left with a blackened face and body. If he hadn’t dodged in time, then he would have been drowned in the sea of flames.

This frightened and angered the rest more.

Moreover, as the battle progressed, to the horror of Mu Zheng and the others, they found that regardless of what secret arts they activated, Lin Xun was able to counter them with the same secret art, but it was much more powerful than theirs!

“How is that possible?”

Everyone’s faces clouded over, and their moods were also affected.

It was not terrible to lose to an enemy, but it was terrible to lose to an enemy using the dao art that they were most skilled in. This was an unbearable blow!

Pu!

Before long, someone coughed up blood, wounded by Lin Xun’s Buddhist Great Hand Seal.

Bang!

Soon, another person was blasted away in a clash of Buddhist chanting, their spirit almost destroyed.

Wherever Lin Xun walked, Buddha light surged, the lotus platform moved with him, and the black phoenix hovered around him like he was a true Buddha descended upon the world.

Mu Zheng and the others’ eyes become bloodshot, anger rising in them.

How could this happen?

Before this, they called Lin Xun a heretic every time they opened their mouths and made a fuss to purify and release his soul from suffering. Their words and manners were full of coldness.

But now, they were all like frightened birds, their hearts shaking, and they lost their usual elegant demeanor.

But for Lin Xun, the battle made him realize that the Great Treasury Silent Scripture created by Saint Monk Duji and the Black Phoenix Saint Queen was more mysterious and awesome than he had expected!

The scripture was an integration of the Great Earth Treasury Scripture and the inheritance of the Black Phoenix Clan that was developed over countless years with the supreme wisdom of the two saints. How would it not be extraordinary?

It could be said all the dao arts and their profound secrets that Mu Zheng and the others have mastered had been elevated and incorporated into the Great Treasury Silent Scripture by Saint Monk Duji.

Now, all that was under the control of Lin Xun, so when he dealt with Mu Zheng and the others, he naturally displayed incredible power.

It was as though all the secrets of Mu Zheng and the others had been exposed and no longer had any deterrent effect!

Rumble!

The battle continued, but the eighteen disciples of Earth Treasury Temple were falling into utter defeat. Lin Xun crushed them like a tornado.

They all had been injured and were almost unable to hold on.

“Heretic! Do you really think that we can’t do anything to you?” Mu Zheng roared, his face red with rage and his body stained with blood. He looked like an enraged beast.

“Formation!” He commanded, his eyes turning cold and determined.

The other seventeen disciples all chanted the Buddha’s name before they bore a solemn and resolute expression.

An obscure blood-chilling aura surged from them all, rising straight into the sky and changing the color of the world.

A bad feeling enveloped Lin Xun.

“Rise!” Mu Zheng roared.

Suddenly, a mysterious and complex array spread across the world like a legendary night-blooming flower blossoming.

With a flash, Lin Xun was already hovering in the sky over Burning Immortal Ancient City.

Around him, the eighteen disciples of the Earth Treasury Temple, including Mu Zheng, Mu Jing, and Mu Heng, stood in a square formation with their feet firmly on a lotus platform.

“Little Xumi Demon Sealing Array?”

The scale of the formation startled Lin Xun at first, but he soon calmed down as he pried into its secrets and mystery.

He recognized the array set by Mu Zheng and the others. He had come across records of it in the Great Treasury Silent Scripture!

The array was also likely the reason why he was encircled in the city without him realizing.

“You don’t think you can deal with me with just this array, do you?” Lin Xun sounded perplexed.

In truth, he felt a little uneasy and raised his guard and did not make any rash movements.

Mu Zheng’s face turned a little strange, with an expression of determination, anger, resentment and a kind of indifference and calmness as if he was prepared to die flitting across his face.

It was the same with the other seventeen disciples!

“Fellow Daoist Lin, I have said before that since we have decided to deal with you, we no longer care about life or death. The heavens also will not forgive a heretic like you. So today, you are destined to be met with tribulation!” Mu Zheng stated coldly.

The word tribulation was emphasized

Lin Xun’s black eyes narrowed, and with a clang, the Broken Blade flashed out from him.

The feeling of crisis grew stronger and stronger in his heart, and he knew that he could not wait any longer, though he did not know what kind of killing move Mu Zheng and others would launch at him.

But he could not wait!

However, at the same time that the Broken Blade darted across the air, a wave of obscure aura surged forth from Mu Zheng, rushing up into the sky.

Boom!

Mutterings of thunder suddenly filled the clear sky like a divine drum was beating in Lin Xun’s heart. His face blanched.

Without any wavering, he summoned back the Broken Blade.

At the same time, all cultivators in the city felt their hearts trembling and all hair standing on end over their bodies. It was as though they were being stared at by the eyes of the heavens!

“That…”

All gazes shifted onto the sky.

Many cultivators were stunned with disbelief to see eighteen monks surrounding Demon God Lin.

“They are successors from the Earth Treasury Temple!” someone cried out and set off a commotion.

Very early on, rumors had been circulating that the disciples of the Earth Treasury Temple regarded Demon God Lin as the number one heretic and wanted to purify him and release his soul from suffering.

But no one expected to see it indeed happen!

The entire city was shaken.

Scenes of uproar broke out all over the city.

Only three days remained before the passage to the Upper Ninth Realm would be closed and while everyone was wondering why Demon God Lin hadn’t taken action yet, such a scene was thrown at them. Who would not be aghast?

While there was commotion in the city, the sky was filled with an oppressive and somber atmosphere.

A cold light glinted in Lin Xun’s black eyes as he scanned Mu Zheng and the others one by one, and finally, he glanced up at the sky.

The blue sky had been choked by thick, dark tribulation clouds, emitting an aura that would make anyone in the world feel oppressed.

It was so oppressive that many struggled to breathe!

The restless cultivators in the city were all trembling though there was not a hint of coldness in the air. They felt their bodies becoming limp and weak. That...that was a sign that a heavenly tribulation was about to descend!

In the sky, more and more tribulation clouds accumulated. It was daytime, but it became so dark and bleak that it felt as though eternal darkness had descended upon the earth.

“You drew upon your own king stage heavenly tribulation. Could it be that you want to use the power of the tribulation lightning to get rid of me?”

Lin Xun’s black hair flew around his face while his eyes shone a cold light.

Mu Zheng nodded indifferently, “Yes, we have already known that Fellow Cultivator Lin has extraordinary strength that is beyond us. Only with the help of the tribulation power of heaven can we perhaps be able to save Fellow Cultivator Lin and release your soul from suffering.”

He pointed to the tribulation clouds. “Look, when the tribulation lightning comes, it will drown this place. Although it is my tribulation, you also can’t escape!”

He wants to borrow the power of the heavenly tribulation to kill Demon God Lin!

The cultivators in the city inhaled sharply, feeling chills all over. The disciples of the Earth Treasury Temple are ruthless. They plan to take Demon God Lin down with them!

“Are you not afraid of death?”

Lin Xun’s expression was ice-cold. He completely understood their intentions, and an uncontrollable cold intent surged up from his heart.

No wonder the baldies of the Earth Treasury Temple are feared by the world. They stop at nothing to achieve their goals, including risking their lives. They are simply too ruthless and crazy!

“If you can be saved in exchange for our lives, then for us, our death will be the same as going to the ultimate paradise.” Mu Zheng’s expression became more and more resolute.

Lin Xun took a deep breath and glanced around, only to find that obscure auras were also surging outwards from the other seventeen disciples, communicating with the heavens. They also intended to trigger their own heavenly tribulation.

Eighteen different king tribulations were about to descend in the area at the same time!

Lin Xun’s heart sank.

There was no chance of escaping. Not only had the area been blocked off by the Little Xumi Demon Sealing Array, but also in all directions were Earth Treasury Temple disciples about to take the heavenly tribulation.

If he got near them, the heavenly tribulation would also fall on him. Not to mention that he needed to destroy the formation to escape.

It was a formation of absolute death!
