Chapter 3082: The Enemies’ Wild Joy |
Boom!
The canyon had already collapsed into ruins. The earth was torn apart, and a raging torrent of restriction power erupted, unleashing devastation that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth.
“What terrifying restriction power!”
Accompanying Wen Zai were five Lesser Boundless Realm beings and twenty Creation Realm powerhouses. The moment they sensed that devastating aura, all their expressions changed. At that very moment, a tall and imposing figure appeared out of thin air, bathed in resplendent dao light, like a divine being descending upon the world.
That person was none other than Lin Xun. When his gaze met Wen Zai’s, he let out a quiet sigh in his heart. In just three short days, the enemy had already tracked him down. This was far beyond his expectations, and a stark reminder that no matter how meticulous one’s plans and arrangement, unforeseen variables could never be completely eliminated.
“How could it be someone at the Creation Realm…” Wen Zai muttered, disbelief flashing across his face.
In his mind, the one who had wiped out the territories of the Ye, Jue, and Yuan Clans and slain heaven-defying figures like Jue Wutian had to be a terrifying existence at the Greater Boundless Realm, or even several of them acting together! Who could have thought that the reality before his eyes would be so completely off the mark?
“Old Ancestor Wen Zai! It’s Lin Xun! The remnant of Fangchun Mountain!” Someone suddenly cried out.
“What?! How could it be him?”
“Hahaha…even Heaven is helping us this time!”
The crowd erupted in excitement. Their eyes burned with unrestrained delight as they stared at Lin Xun, like predators who had finally sighted the prey they had long dreamed of tearing apart.
Lin Xun!
If one were to name the person these great forces had hated the most over the years, it would undoubtedly be Lin Xun!
More than a decade ago, when word spread that Lin Xun had single-handedly swept through the divine clans of the Ninth Heaven Domain and dealt devastating blows to both the Shaman Sect and the Zen Sect, these old monsters were so enraged that they trembled with fury and almost went berserk.
Had they not been trapped in the Spirit Martial World back then, they would have already marched straight into the Eternal True Realm to hunt him down. Even Wen Zai froze for a moment, then his face slowly broke into a grin of wild delight. This was too unexpected. Who could have imagined that, by sheer chance, such a big fish would fall straight into their hands?
“Hahaha…”
Wen Zai burst into laughter, his voice growing louder and louder, brimming with exhilaration. He hadn’t felt this pleased in years. If anyone else were standing here, those chilling laughs alone would have been enough to make their blood run cold and plunge their hearts into despair.
However, Lin Xun simply chuckled. “Do you really think that victory is already in your grasp?”
“To kill you, little bastard, would be no harder than crushing an ant!”
An old man in a fiery-red robe with jet-black hair roared and suddenly struck out with a palm from afar. He was Cang Youzhi, a Lesser Boundless Realm powerhouse. In previous years, he had guarded the vicinity of Lotus Leaf Sacred Mountain alongside Yuan Zhongqi, Yang Heng, and Taihao Ju. Now that he had struck without hesitation, it was clear just how eager he was to kill Lin Xun.
Boom!
Purple divine radiance surged skyward, condensing into a colossal palm that blotted out the heavens. The converging law power crushed the void under its terrifying pressure, unleashing a deafening roar. This palm strike was peerless and tyrannical, perfectly displaying the overwhelming might of a Lesser Boundless Realm powerhouse.
Despite that, Lin Xun’s lips curled into a cold smile. “You don’t know your place.”
Boom!
The Divine Judgment Restriction spread across the canyon floor roared to life, erupting in billions of radiant beams that surged skyward and actually halted the purple palm that blotted out the heavens.
At the same time, Lin Xun streaked through the air like a bolt of lightning tearing across the sky, charging straight toward Cang Youzhi.
“Hah! You say I don’t know my place?” Cang Youzhi sneered. “What difference is there between you and an ant?”
Cold light flashed in his eyes. His sleeves billowed as he struck out with another palm toward Lin Xun, who was charging head-on. To a Lesser Boundless Realm powerhouse like him, a mere Creation Realm cultivator was nothing worth fearing!
“Dodge!” Wen Zai’s shout suddenly rang across the battlefield.
Unfortunately, it came too late. Before Cang Youzhi could even react, Lin Xun’s fist had already blasted forward.
Boom!
A dazzling, peerless fist force erupted. Unyielding and unstoppable, it cleaved straight through Cang Youzhi’s palm strike.
Before everyone’s eyes, Cang Youzhi’s right hand and arm burst apart like fragile paper. Blood sprayed through the air as the terrifying punch raged on, smashing through his defensive power and treasures in rapid succession. Explosions boomed like a storm of war drums.
As a Lesser Boundless Realm being, Cang Youzhi’s reactions were lightning fast. Even while grievously wounded, he roared in fury, abandoned all resistance, and retreated with everything he had.
However, despair flooded his heart. Along with Lin Xun’s punch came a vast, boundless sea of sword intent, sealing him in from every direction.
Is this really power that someone at the Creation Realm can wield?
The thought flashed through Cang Youzhi’s mind, steeped in disbelief, terror, unwillingness, and bewilderment. In the next instant, blinding white sword intent swallowed him whole, and all his consciousness vanished.
Meanwhile, in everyone else’s eyes…Lin Xun leapt forward and, with a single punch, suppressed Cang Youzhi, a Lesser Boundless Realm powerhouse. His overwhelming might struck everyone like a bolt from the heavens.
Just moments ago, their faces were lit with delight at discovering Lin Xin. Now those smiles froze solid and their hearts clenched in shock.
How is this possible?! Since when could a Creation Realm cultivator crush a Lesser Boundless being with a single blow?
Their understanding of the world had just been completely overturned.
“Well? Why aren’t you laughing anymore?”
Lin Xun stood where he was, calmly sweeping his gaze across the crowd.
One by one, their faces darkened. Lin Xun’s punch was like a thunderclap, shattering their wild joy and snapping them back to brutal reality.
“No wonder you were able to sweep through the Ninth Heaven Domain back when you were only at the Law Transcendence Realm. A heaven-defying existence like you cannot be judged by common sense.” Wen Zai said coldly from afar. “If I’m not mistaken, you were the one who wiped out the territories of the Ye, Jue, and Yuan Clans, weren’t you?”
The crowd’s pupils shrank. They had been so caught up in their excitement that they never once linked Lin Xun, a Creation Realm cultivator, to the one who destroyed the divine clans’ strongholds.
Lin Xun had been acting alone and he was only at the Creation Realm. How could someone like that have destroyed three Eternal Divine Clans? However, after witnessing Cang Youzhi’s death, they finally understood. They had been wrong from the very beginning.
Lin Xun was not someone who could be measured by common sense! Back when he was at the Law Transcendence Realm, he had already swept through the Ninth Heaven Domain. Now, he had already stood at the pinnacle of the Creation Realm!
Even ignoring everything else, the sheer speed of his rise was already enough to shock the heavens. Even old monsters who had lived for countless ages could not help but tremble in their hearts.
“If I say no, you probably wouldn’t believe me anyway, so why bother asking?” Lin Xun replied indifferently. As he spoke, the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron emerged at his side. From his tall, imposing frame surged obscure, unfathomable waves of power, while a cold light flickered in his eyes as he scanned the entire field.
“Now, I’d like to see if any of you can actually stop me!” His voice thundered through the skies, and in that same instant, he struck without hesitation, charging straight at another Lesser Boundless Realm existence.
It was Yang Heng, clad in black divine-metal battle armor and a golden halberd in his grasp. Having seen Cang Youzhi fall, he was already on high alert. The moment Lin Xun came charging at him, he swung his halberd without hesitation, striking with all his might.
Boom!
A storm of golden halberd shadows erupted, transforming into layer upon layer of illusory
worlds. Brilliant law power dazzled the sky, and the destructive force rolled outward like a raging ocean.
Clang!
However, this strike was cleanly deflected by the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron. The shock sent Yang Heng’s halberd trembling violently, nearly tearing free from his grip. He staggered back, blood and qi surging chaotically through his body.
Unlike Cang Youzhi, Yang Heng had not been careless at all. He had unleashed his full strength from the very start. Despite that, in a direct clash, even his Lesser Boundless cultivation could not withstand Lin Xun’s assault. His expression darkened as he finally grasped just how terrifying Lin Xun’s combat power truly was.
“Arrogant!”
Not far away, Wen Zai’s face turned icy. Killing intent burst from him as he charged forward, dao sword in hand.
Boom!
A vast, web-like expanse of silver lightning spread across the sky, each bolt as thick as a child’s arm, all condensed from pure law power. It was enough to strike fear into even Lesser Boundless Realm beings.
Within that violent storm of silver lightning, Wen Zai’s dao sword shot forth, faster and more terrifyingly in power, like a blade meant to pierce through eternity itself.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
At that same moment, the other three Lesser Boundless Realm figures, Taihao Ju, Yuan Zhongqi, and Pan Wuxiu, also struck together. Each brandished their dao weapons and released their most supreme divine powers. Meanwhile, the Creation Realm cultivators joined forces, forming vast battle formations and spreading out in the distance, sealing off every path of retreat from all directions.
In a situation like this, even a Greater Boundless Realm powerhouse would find it hard to escape. However, Lin Xun had no intention of retreating at all. Instead, he pressed forward without hesitation, continuing his charge straight toward Yang Heng.
Boom!
When Wen Zai’s sword came slashing down, Lin Xun’s Green Wood and White Metal Dao Bodies burst forth together, forcibly intercepting the blow. At the same time, his other three dao bodies, Black Water, Red Flame, and Yellow Earth, surged into action, intercepting the killing strikes of Taihao Ju, Yuan Zhongqi, and Pan Wuxiu one by one.
Rumble—
In an instant, a ferocious battle erupted. Lin Xun and his five dao bodies clashed head-on with a host of Immeasurable Realm powerhouses. The sight left the distant Creation Realm cultivators utterly dumbfounded.
How could this be?!
Damn it!
Wen Zai’s expression darkened as he found himself restrained by the combined assault of the Green Wood and White Metal Dao Bodies. Even with all his cultivation and strength, he was unable to break through the joint onslaught of Lin Xun’s two clones!
Meanwhile, Taihao Ju, Yuan Zhongqi, and Pan Wuxiu fared no better. One after another, the three Lesser Boundless Realm beings found themselves losing ground in the fierce exchange, their situations turning perilous as they were completely suppressed by Lin Xun’s remaining three dao bodies!
A chill ran down Wen Zai’s spine. They were nothing more than dao incarnations, yet each possessed power no weaker than the original body. The thought made Wen Zai recall Jue Wutian, who had been slain by Lin Xun not long ago.
That heaven-defying figure, whose strength rivaled even Greater Boundless Immeasurable Realm powerhouses, had most likely been besieged and slain by Lin Xun together with these dao bodies! This could only mean that the power Lin Xun now possessed was already enough to slay even a Greater Boundless Realm being like him!
Just as that thought crossed his mind…Boom!
Yang Heng, who had been relentlessly pressed by Lin Xun, was smashed by a devastating punch. His body burst apart on the spot, blood exploding outward like a crimson waterfall, spraying across the void in a chilling, horrifying arc.
