The Prodigies War

“Saint treasure?” Wu Duanya’s eyes constricted.

“Don’t forget, the South Wonder World’s Yu Lingkong had come here on a treasure called the Longevity Place…it’s a very famous Saint treasure!”

Li Qinghuan leisurely continued, “Do you think that under these circumstances that Demon God Lin will have the capability to fight against Yu Lingkong?”

Wu Duanya suddenly came to a realization and his heart shook. "So that's how it is.”

“It’s not just Yu Lingkong. Just look at Ji Xingyao, Mu Jianting, and Lei Qianjun. All of them have formidable trump cards hidden.”

After saying that, a rarely seen expression of disdain appeared on the surface of his face. “This is the gap between the ordinary and the extraordinary. They all come from ancient orthodoxies and have exceptional talents. In addition, their sects and cults have granted them secret treasures to protect them. How can other cultivators possibly compete with them?”

He continued, “If I have to be completely honest, I actually quite admire Demon God Lin. He's not a disciple of an ancient orthodoxy, nor does he have any background to rely upon. Yet, despite it all, he has been able to kill his way into such a dazzling reputation, aweing all of the younger generation within the West Infinity World. Just by doing that, it's more than enough to make most cultivators feel ashamed of themselves.”

Wu Duanya stared blankly. For some reason, he felt like that last speech from Li Qinghuan was quite weird and a bit off.

He couldn’t help but say, “Brother Li, you're also a peerless genius from an ancient orthodoxy, the Azure Sea Sect”.

Li Qinghuan lightly sighed and said, “Therefore, that is why I can even more understand the difference between Demon God Lin and those other people.”

“AH——”

In the distance, they suddenly heard a loud shriek, which alarmed all of the cultivators in the area.

Then they saw a man from the Blue Luan Clan who was holding his head with both hands. His face twisted in pain as he hollered, “A Silver Soul Frightening Needle! Demon God Lin, you are so ruthless!”

Crash~

Following that, the man had been swept away by a wave and eliminated from the trial.

Silence descended upon the atmosphere. Many cultivators looked at Lin Xun with eyes that flickered indefinitely.

Who would have thought that when Demon God Lin was trying to break through to the next level that he would still have the ability to strike back? Furthermore, his counterattack was quite aggressive and cruel.

Silver Soul Frightening Needle!

They were a fierce and vicious type of secret treasure.

Within moments, a few cultivators who had originally wanted to use this chance to subdue Demon God Lin extinguished that idea.

After witnessing this, both Wu Duanya’s and Li Qinghuan’s expressions changed. Sure enough, that Silver Soul Frightening Needle had been taken away by Demon God Lin.

……

Bang!

Lin Xun’s aura became more rich and powerful, and his body and skin sparkled with a blue and gold colored light that looked bright and resplendent.

His qi exploded, sounding like muffled thunder. His entire demeanor resembled a bubbling volcano that was on the brink of exploding.

Everyone could tell that he had reached the most crucial point of the breakthrough.

Many cultivators had complicated feelings. After all, his cultivation before this breakthrough had already been strong enough to defy the heavens and fight against the supreme geniuses.

If he successfully broke through, then it was certain that his strength would become even more terrifying!

“If this continues, who could possibly suppress him?” Some cultivators felt jealous, and their voices sounded as if they couldn’t accept this.

“Argh, comparisons are the thief of joy. In the past, I thought that I was doing quite well within the younger generation. But ever since I've come to the Dao Lantern Festival, I've seen with my own two eyes just how incredible these supreme geniuses are. I have received a heavy blow to my ego. I can now see clearly just what it means when someone is blessed by the heavens,” said another cultivator sorrowfully.

“Hmph, he wants to use this opportunity to break through? Fat chance!”

Suddenly, a sudden clap of thunder resounded in the sky. The other cultivators could see in the faraway distance that Sha Liuchan was standing there looking bold and powerful on the lotus boat.

“The Living Azure Tide!”

His entire body surged with a bloody light as he reached out his hand to grab at something.

Rumbles were emitted, and the Sinking Sea suddenly produced a wave that was ten thousand feet high. Then it transformed into a terrible and scary whirlpool that crushed the void and headed towards Lin Xun’s direction.

Hiss~~

The other cultivators gasped in alarm. This was the Sinking Sea. Every drop of seawater weighed ten thousand pounds, and most cultivators could only move a small handful or create a small spray of water even if they used all of their strength.

However, there was now a giant whirlpool in the sea crushing the void. It had been created by Sha Liuchan, making everyone feel scared.

“Retreat!”

The cultivators along the side blanched and hurriedly propelled the lotus boats underneath their feet in an attempt to avoid it. They were all afraid that if it reached them, they’d end up getting sucked in. The water was too scary, and there was no way for them to defend against it

Rumble!

The wave had been as high as the sky before turning into a crushing whirlpool. Everyone was now aware that Sha Liuchan wanted to abruptly interrupt Lin Xun cultivation session, causing him to get enthralled by an inner demon. Ultimately, he’d become completely handicapped!

“Damnit!” Yue Jianming was so angry that his eyes were about to pop. He operated his cultivation base to its limit and prepared himself for defense.

Bang!

The giant whirlpool crashed into them, bringing along a frightful crushing force that attempted to draw in the two of them.

“Break!” Yue Jianming hollered. He sacrificed his spirit sword, using it to cut a shining blow in an effort to withstand it.

However, it only stopped for a second. Then he felt as if he was being hit by a ten ton force, and a shock went through him. He had almost been drawn in by the whirlpool and gotten blown far away.

This force was almost too terrible for him to withstand

But even if it was like that, he clenched his jaw and did his best to use all of his power to resist.

No matter what, he could not just watch as Lin Xun got defeated.

“What a joke! Members of the Ocean Shark Clan are experts at using water. I used a secret art to raise a storm on the water, so how could just anyone be able to resist?”

“Get lost!” Sha Liuchan roared as he reached out his hand again to grab at something. This caused another massive tidal wave to form before it turned into a whirlpool, and it also had a crushing force.

Everyone was shocked. Sha Liuchan was too strong. The Sinking Sea was a dangerous place, yet he was using his own power to cause trouble. He truly was a violent person.

Rumble~~

Another whirlpool had formed and began to crush everything in its path.

Lin Xun was in a bad situation!

Everyone could tell that it was already hard for Yue Jianming to endure against the first whirlpool. Once the second one attacked, he and Lin Xun were bound to get hit with calamity.

“Lin Xun, I’m sorry…” Yue Jianming sighed. He felt quite guilty and was well aware that once the next one hit, it’d be of no use even if he did his best.

Bang!

The second whirlpool appeared within moments and was about to engulf both Lin Xun and Yue Jianming.

All of the geniuses felt their hearts grow cold. This was only the third trial, but was Demon Gold Lin about to run into a misfortune?

“How base!” In the distance, Bai Lingxi was quite furious and couldn’t stay calm.

“Is it over for Demon God Lin?” Wu Duanya found it somehow hard to believe, and he was a bit dazed after seeing what he wanted in front of him.

Li Qinghuan also frowned, and he wasn't sure what was going to happen.

Everyone on the sea was paying close attention to what was happening. The whirlpool roared, and the surrounding waves began to engulf the nearby area. No one could see either Lin Xun’s or Yue Jianming’s figures.

Had they truly hit a bout of bad luck and were about to be expelled like this?

“Ha ha ha, Demon God Lin is not all that. I simply used a trick in my hand, and he was unable to defend himself. He's truly too weak!” In the distance, Sha Liuchan put his head back and howled with laughter. He was quite proud of himself at this moment.

Earlier, in Star Cliff City, he had been defeated by Lin Xun in front of many people. The fact that all of those people saw him lose face was a memory of great shame and humiliation for him.

But now, he was finally back in the limelight and had washed away his previous humiliation.

“Hmph!”

Close to where the snort could be heard were supreme heaven prides, such as Yu Lingkong, Qing Lian’er, Zhuo Kuanglan. They were quite annoyed.

Originally they had been planning on killing Lin Xun once they got to the Ancient Dao Lantern Tree. They had never expected that Sha Liuchan would take the initiative and attack on the Sinking Sea first.

They were feeling a bit unreconciled when they saw that Lin Xun had probably run into misfortune.

When he noticed the unhappy looks he was getting, Sha Liuchan became even more proud of himself. Demon God Lin had been so rampant, but he had been the one to suppress him. This made him feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

A cultivator who had admired Lin Xun silently swore, “He simply took advantage of Demon God Lin’s precarious position, yet he’s laughing so hard. Doesn’t he feel like it’s shameful?”

He believed that Sha Liuchan’s previous actions were too treacherous and sneaky. However, Sha Liuchan instead acted like a proud peacock, which made other people despise him for it.

“Everyone, Demon God Lin has met with misfortune and has likely been invaded by an inner demon, becoming a worthless handicap. What do you all think? Don’t you think that I, Sha Liuchan, has done everyone a great favor by removing a giant tumor from the West Infinity World? Ha ha ha.”

As he finished, he couldn’t help himself from guffawing in glee again. It was quite obvious that he was very pleased with himself.

All of the supreme heaven prides found this somewhat hard to watch. How could someone be this joyful about landing a sneak attack?

Suddenly, some people cried, “Look!”

Everyone looked up and saw that the giant whirlpool that had rampaged the seas was abruptly exploding.

Crash~

Droplets of water filled the sky, flying away like water arrows in all directions. It was a resplendent and dazzling scene.

At the same time, a golden lotus flower appeared. It arced down like a rainbow, before hitting the sea and plowing a perfectly straight trajectory. It resembled a speedy boat shooting forward.

On the golden lotus were two figures: one was Yue Jianming and the other was Lin Xun!

Lin Xun’s clothing fluttered in the wind, and his black hair floated up. His handsome figure glowed. As his pair of black eyes opened and closed, they shot out a beam of cold light, making everyone shiver.

This…

Everyone was shocked silly and almost couldn’t believe their own eyes.

Earlier, that incredibly scary whirlpool had engulfed his boat, so shouldn't Demon God Lin have met with calamity? Hadn’t he been in the middle of breaking through? How could he possibly defend himself?

Just what happened here?

“He’s broken through!” In the distance, Li Qinghuan’s eyes flashed like lightning as he had spotted the new development immediately.

At the same time, many peerless individuals had also noticed that same thing. Lin Xun’s aura had completely transformed and had become even more frightful than before. He felt as unfathomable as an ocean, deep and unmeasurable.

Someone muttered, “It looks like he had smoothly stepped into the mid-stage Cyclic Derivation at the moment of greatest danger and avoided becoming consumed by an inner demon. In addition, he saved himself from the crisis….”

“How…how could this have happened?” Wu Duanya was in a daze. He had just been rejoicing earlier, but who would have thought he’d be slammed back down immediately?

“I knew it. He must have had something to rely on since he decided to advance his cultivation in the middle of the Sinking Sea. There was no way he’d so easily meet misfortune.” A slight smile appeared on Bai Lingxi’s face, and the worry and anger within her heart had been swept away.

This was the Lin Xun she knew. He always managed to create the unexpected miracle, surprising everyone else.

As for the previously joyful Sha Liuchan, he was acting as if he was a duck who had been caught by the neck. His voice abruptly cut off, and his smile froze on his face.

“How could this be?”

His eyes were opened wide as he was unable to accept this development. Within seconds, his expression became ashen and ugly.

He had been so full of spirit and confidence earlier. But now it had all been blasted away like a bolt of lightning. Anger and indignation bubbled within him as the contrast was too large.

Everyone felt a chill run down their back. Sha Liuchan…was definitely screwed!
