Chapter 1587: The Wind Rises in the Nine Domains
The fourth month.
In a dark hall, accompanied by the ringing of swords, torrents of sword qi rushed up into midair one after another.
There were thirty-three torrents in total, each one containing eighteen thousand Taixuan sword qi.
Thirty-three torrents of sword qi spread out in the air, filling the entire hall. As the concentrated and brilliant sword qi undulated like a tidal wave, it gave a sense of majesty and grandness.
Thirty-Three Heavy Swords!
After Lin Xun broke through to the intermediate True Saint Stage, this was the number of swords he could cultivate in his acupoints.
Compared with 108,000 Swords, the thirty-three swords not only contained a greater amount of sword qi, but also power.
The Thirty-Three Heavy Swords were akin to thirty-three monstrous waves. As they reared up, their power was amplified and their destructive power became boundlessly terrifying.
Moreover, the sword qi nurtured in the acupoints in Lin Xun’s body all produced sword light and produced sword intent!
Just imagine, if one sword contained eighteen thousand sword qi. How powerful must the Thirty-Three Heavy Swords be?
Unfortunately, the Taixuan Sword Scripture was an emperor dao inheritance art, and with Lin Xun’s present strength, it was impossible for him to completely comprehend all its mysteries and secrets.
This meant that Lin Xun could only make use of the essence of Taixuan to create his own art, but was unable to integrate all its secrets into his own art.
Even so, in terms of destructive power, the Thirty-Three Heavy Swords was unparalleled in the world, far superior to 108,000 Swords.
Hua—
With one thought, Lin Xun withdrew the vast ocean of sword qi that filled the hall into his body like thousands of streams returning to the sea and stored them in various acupoints.
Over the past four months, Lin Xun had successively simplified and integrated the Heavenly Yuan Six Slashes, Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art and the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations into his own arts.
The Taixuan Sword Scripture had also been modified into the Thirty-Three Heavy Swords!
Even his cultivation base had been further consolidated in these four months, becoming extremely stable and strong.
“No Escape and Great Diffusion Void Breaker Finger are two inheritance arts similar to the Taixuan Sword Scripture in that I am unable to completely grasp them yet. If I want to create my own arts from them, I can only use its essence and forget about its form…”
In the following time, Lin Xun stopped studying martial arts and began to tidy himself up, honing the grand dao secrets he had grasped.
In the pursuit of the Saint Dao, cultivation base was the foundation and grand dao power was the core. The stronger the Saint Dao Laws one comprehended, the greater the combat power one controlled.
For example, when the secrets of grand daos such as the Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer, True Dragon, Immortality, Tai Chi, Fire and Water were condensed into Saint Dao Laws, they represented a Saint’s mastery and control of the great dao!
On the other hand, martial arts reflected the strength of one’s cultivation base and great dao power.
All of these combined together represented the true strength of a Saint.
Of course, one’s state of mind, will and treasures also played an immeasurable role in battle.
But no matter what, the most important were always one’s cultivation and great dao!
……
Time flew by. As the day of Flying Immortal Battle Realm arriving drew closer, the atmosphere in the entire Nine Domains Battlefield grew increasingly calm and stifling.
A storm was approaching!
North Sea Territory.
On the Tempest Sea stood a magnificent palace.
Seven powerful leaders, including Kun Shaoyu, Chi Wushu, Zhu Yingkong, Lie Qian, Xue Qingyi, Shi Pohai and Hua Hongxiao, were gathered together.
This time, they each brought around eight supreme Saints with them, each of them a dazzling and fierce character who held a Flying Immortal Tablet.
In addition, eight supreme Saints from the Great Luo Camp also came, led by a peerless swordsman called Nie Wuhen.
He was famous in the Great Luo Ancient Domain, his reputation was only slightly inferior to that of Jian Qingchen. After Jian Qingchen lost his life, Nie Wuhen succeeded him as a well-deserved leader.
Even if Qin Xiaosheng, the elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, did not want to, he still had to hand over his power and let Nie Wuhen take control and lead the Great Luo Camp.
“Everyone, the Flying Immortal Battle Realm will come in five days. When it happens, everyone who holds a Flying Immortal Tablet will be teleported into it.” Kun Shaoyu scanned the crowd in the hall, feeling a surge of heroic spirit. “This time, with everyone working together, killing Lin Xun won’t be a problem!”
Among the cultivators assembled in the hall, which one was not an influential supreme Saint figure? Which one was not a peerless master in their respective domain?
Under such a gathering of power, Lin Xun was doomed!
“Brother Kun, Lin Xun is not an easy person to deal with. Since we have chosen to join forces, we must work together and fight with all our strength. We must not underestimate or look down on Lin Xun at all,” Xue Qingyi reminded him.
Surprisingly, no one laughed at or mocked Xue Qingyi for being cowardly. Instead, everyone nodded in unison.
This was because both the annihilation of the seven domains alliance and the disastrous defeat in the Battle of the Black Cliff Sea confirmed Xue Qingyi’s caution.
Lin Xun was undoubtedly very strong!
“Brother Xue, you have fought against Lin Xun before and know him well. Why don’t you help dispel any doubts that fellow daoists have?” Kun Shaoyu said in a gentle voice.
Everyone’s gaze shifted onto Xue Qingyi, which made his mood much better.
“As you all know, although that boy is strong, he is not truly invincible. His most powerful weapon lies in the fact that he is good at setting up rune arrays.
“Before the seven domains alliance was wiped out, as well as in the battle of the Black Cliff Sea, that boy also brought heavy casualties to our camps by utilizing rune arrays.”
Everyone nodded silently as Xue Qingyi spoke. They had all heard about it.
“Brother Xue, no need to worry. I, Zhu Yingkong, am here this time. If he dares to do the same thing again, I will definitely teach him a good lesson!” Zhu Yingkong’s eyes flashed, and his voice was filled with absolute confidence.
Everyone’s face brightened up.
The Torch Dragon Lineage was experts in the art of dao runes. With Zhu Yingkong around, they had no reason to be afraid of Lin Xun’s rune array powers.
“Also, that boy possesses terrifying combat strength. He practices all three cultivation paths: spirit cultivation, qi cultivation and physical cultivation, and he has already reached the supreme Saint stage in all three…”
As soon as Xue Qingyi said this, many people couldn’t help but narrow their eyes, their expressions subtly changing.
The Three Ways to the Absolute Apex had all been tempered to the Saint level?
This was a splendid feat and extremely rare to see even among all eight domains. He could be regarded as a peerless monster-like existence in the world!
“This is something that both fellow daoists Shi Pohai and Hua Hongxiao know very well, as it was one of the main reasons why the three of us were defeated despite joining forces.”
Xue Qingyi inhaled deeply and continued in a deep voice, “In addition, the boy holds incredibly rare treasures, such as the Yuantu Sword. I believe everyone has heard of how fierce and iron-willed the master of the sword was in the first Conflict of the Nine Domains.”
Yuantu Sword!
Another murmur passed through the crowd.
The sword belonged to the Underworld River Sword Emperor, and it once demonstrated its splendid brilliance in the first Conflict of the Nine Domains. Cultivators trembled with fear at the mere mention of its name. Who would not have heard about the sword?
Many people’s expressions turned solemn.
“If we join forces, it will be enough to suppress him. As for this Yuantu Sword, I believe that everyone here has treasures that can compete with it.” Chi Wushu’s voice was deep and resounding.
“Hmph! It’s not just that sword. In fact, Lin Xun holds many other treasures, and they are all extremely powerful!” Xue Qingyi snorted coldly, “I’m not trying to boast about the enemy to discourage our own, but I just want to remind you all to never underestimate Lin Xun.”
“Brother Xue is right. This time, we must be well prepared to ensure victory and kill the boy in the Flying Immortal Battle Realm.” Kun Shaoyu nodded, agreeing with Xue Qingyi. “I wonder if Brother Xue has any other suggestions.”
After a long silence, Xue Qingyi said expressionlessly, “I advise you all to prepare for the worst. When the Flying Immortal Battle Realm arrives, I also ask you all to mobilize your respective camps to strike the Ancient Wasteland Camp!
“As long as the Ancient Wasteland Camp is destroyed, even if we fail to kill Lin Xun in the Flying Immortal Battle Realm, he can’t possibly recover the Ancient Wasteland Camp and turn the situation around!”
As soon as he said those words, everyone donned different expressions, and the atmosphere turned solemn in the hall.
Go all out!
This was no different from an all-out war. They had to treat this important matter cautiously and seriously.
After a while, Kun Shaoyu was the first to break the silence. “Alright! On behalf of the North Sea Ancient Domain, I agree to this plan. What does everyone else think?”
“Fine, as long as we can achieve the goal of destroying the Ancient Wasteland Domain first, I have no objection.” Chi Wushu was the second person to express his opinion.
Immediately afterwards, Lie Qian, Zhu Yingkong, Shi Pohai and the others nodded in agreement.
Xue Qingyi heaved a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was not dealing with Lin Xun, but that everyone would be overcautious with working together and not fight with all they had.
But it seemed his worry was unnecessary. The others such as Kun Shaoyu were also deeply aware of the threat posed by Lin Xun.
That was enough!
In the Flying Immortal Battle Realm, they would take action together, and in the Nine Domains Battlefield, the armies of the eight domains would join forces and attack with all their strength.
With the two working in parallel, as long as one side succeeded, whether it was in killing Lin Xun or destroying the Ancient Wasteland Camp, the eight domains would be undefeated.
Meanwhile, in the City of Protection of the Ancient Wasteland Domain.
Lin Xun was chatting with Shaohao, Ruowu, Xiao Cangtian, Ye Chen and others.
“After I leave, please defend the city and do not go out unless necessary. With the Total Annihilation Perfect Protection Array around and your strengths, if anything were to happen, we should be able to respond in time and not allow anyone a chance to invade.”
This was Lin Xun’s decision.
Everyone agreed happily. They all knew that once the Flying Immortal Battle Realm appeared, an earthshaking war that would decide the outcome of the Conflict of the Nine Domains would break out!
Five days later.
The sky was bright and clear. Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan stood side by side on the top of the city walls.
“I’ll be waiting for you to come back.” Zhao Jingxuan looked at Lin Xun with her beautiful eyes and whispered, her voice filled with tender affections and worry.
Lin Xun held her hand tightly, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, “When I come back, do you want to give me a surprise?”
Zhao Jingxuan looked taken aback, and then she seemed to understand his meaning. Her pretty face flushed and she shot a glare at Lin Xun. “We’ll talk about it when you come back!”
“Alright!” Lin Xun happily agreed.
At that moment, a thread of gold appeared in the sky, like a ray of light cutting through the world, illuminating everything.
