Chapter 3084: Relentless Slaughter |
The world was in chaos. Mountains lay shattered, rivers ruined and everything was reduced to devastation. This was a battle at the very pinnacle of the Eternal Path.
Wen Zai, Xinying, and Xingtian Yuan were each a towering giant who stood at the summit of eternity, possessing power enough to look down upon all living beings across the heavens.
Figures like them had long transcended countless epochs, watching the rise and fall of worlds with detached indifference. With a single thought, they could overturn heaven and earth, pluck stars from the firmament, seize the moon from the void, and shatter entire realms. To ordinary beings, they were almost omnipotent.
Now, these supreme giants were being confronted by Lin Xun alone. What made it all the more unbelievable was that Lin Xun was only at the perfect Creation Realm!
Anyone who witnessed this scene would have their understanding of the world utterly overturned. It was simply too inconceivable!
Even Taihao Ju, Pan Wuxiu and the other Lesser Boundless Realm enemies trembled inwardly. They had seen many things that defied heaven, but never anything as monstrously heaven-defying as this. As for the twenty Creation Realm cultivators from afar, they had completely lost their composure. Standing in the same realm as Lin Xun, they felt nothing but burning shame.
Rumble!
The battle raged even fiercer. Torrents of power flooded the world as laws and principles collided like massive worlds crashing into one another, unleashing endless visions of annihilation.
Fortunately, this was the Spirit Martial World, protected by the origin laws of Kunlun Dominion, which were powerful enough to withstand clashes between Eternal figures. Had this battle taken place elsewhere, countless worlds would have been reduced to dust and lives erased in an instant.
At that moment, Xinying, Xingtian Yuan, and Wen Zai unleashed their full fury, each drawing forth their most terrifying methods.
Given their status and strength, failing to capture Lin Xun in a single strike was already humiliating enough. In addition, the more heaven-defying Lin Xun’s combat power proved to be, the more intense their killing intent grew. They could not allow him to leave this battlefield alive.
After all, he was only at the Creation Realm, yet he could already contend with Greater Boundless Immeasurable Realm giants. If he were allowed to step into the Immeasurable Realm, what kind of existence would he become?
In this clash, Lin Xun and his dao bodies were pushed into a perilous position. If he were to face a single Greater Boundless Realm foe, he would have had absolute confidence in annihilating them.
Now, with three such opponents attacking together, even he began to feel the strain. In particular, whether it was Xinying, Xingtian Yuan, or Wen Zai, every one of them possessed combat power that surpassed even Jue Wutian’s, and rivaled Yingshan Ying at his most desperate peak.
The weight of that pressure bore down on Lin Xun like a mountain. In the end, no matter how heaven-defying his talent, he was still only at the Creation Realm. Against Lesser Boundless Realm foes, he could suppress and kill them with ease, but before the true giants of the Eternal Path, the difference in realms was finally laid bare.
However, it was precisely this crushing pressure that awakened Lin Xun’s latent potential and fighting spirit. Only at the edge of life and death could one’s potential and combat power be unleashed to the absolute extreme.
For Lin Xun, this was the most dangerous battle he had faced since entering the Creation Realm. His essence, qi, and spirit roared like blazing infernos, surging beyond their limits and erupting toward heights he had never before touched.
Just then, his figure blazed with dazzling light, like a boundless abyss or an inescapable prison. Although he was at a disadvantage, the fiercer the battle became, the more unstoppable he grew. For a time, Xinying and the others found themselves unable to bring him down!
Furthermore, the longer this stalemate dragged on, the more shaken they became. Fear crept into their hearts, followed by an even stronger resolve to kill Lin Xun at all costs. The power he displayed was simply overwhelming.
In countless ages, this was the first time they had ever encountered such a terrifying, heaven-defying youth. Everything they believed about cultivation was being overturned before their eyes.
“How…how can he be this strong…” Taihao Ju and Pan Wuxiu trembled inwardly. They had lived for tens of thousands of years and witnessed countless extraordinary geniuses and monstrous talents, but never had they seen anyone like Lin Xun.
“If this brat isn’t eliminated,” Yuan Zhongqi muttered darkly, “the entire structure of Spirit Martial World will be reshaped…”
Lin Xun alone could already contend with three Greater Boundless cultivators. If he were to join forces with those old monsters on Lotus Leaf Sacred Mountain, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Huh?
Wait!
With Old Ancestors Xinying and Xingtian Yuan here, doesn’t that mean no one is guarding the
vicinity of Lotus Leaf Sacred Mountain?
The thought struck Yuan Zhongqi like a thunderbolt. A chill ran through him, and he turned abruptly.
At that instant, a crimson flying sword tore through the air. With a flash of scarlet light, Yuan Zhongqi’s head was severed the moment he turned. His body and primordial spirit were shredded by the dazzling crimson sword intent, annihilated on the spot. In the distance, Fu Nanli stood tall, sleeves billowing, his bearing soaring like the heavens.
“This is bad!”
“Dodge!”
Pan Wuxiu and Taihao Ju, who had been watching the battle, were instantly alarmed. Their expressions changed drastically as they fled with all their might.
Boom!
Unfortunately for them, it was already too late. A pagoda wreathed in blazing torrents of lightning descended from the sky, crashing down upon Pan Wuxiu. Under the devastating might of the lightning laws, his body and primordial spirit were pulverized into nothingness. Not even a trace remained. Beside the lightning pagoda, Xing Jianxia’s figure appeared, radiant dao light swirling around him like a sacred being stepping forth from the heavens.
Taihao Ju was the only one to survive, but when he witnessed the deaths of Pan Wuxiu and Yuan Zhongqi, his face drained of all color and his scalp tingled with terror.
“Xing Jianxia…Fu Nanli…you dare leave Lotus Leaf Sacred Mountain? Are you trying to start an all-out war with us?” Xinying roared, shock and fury surging through him. Even his usually dignified, solemn features turned livid with rage.
The arrival of Xing Jianxia and Fu Nanli instantly threw the enemy camp into turmoil. Lin Xun alone had already been a nightmare to deal with. Now, with two more Greater Boundless Realm giants joining the fray, the balance of this battlefield was bound to shift. Seeing this, Lin Xun’s spirits surged, and his attacks only grew more ferocious.
“So what if we go to all-out war? Do you really think things are still the same as before?” Xing Jianxia said coldly, lifting the lightning pagoda in his palm as he charged straight at Xinying.
“Kill!”
Without hesitation, Fu Nanli flicked his sleeve. A blazing crimson flying sword shot forth, slashing toward Taihao Ju.
At the same time, divine chains formed from countless laws burst from his sleeves, surging toward the twenty Creation Realm powerhouses in the distance. Only by eliminating those figures first could they prevent them from escaping to summon reinforcements.
In an instant, the battlefield plunged into utter chaos. Xinying, Wen Zai, and Xingtian Yuan had already been pinned down by Lin Xun and his dao bodies. Now, with Xing Jianxia joining the fray, they found themselves even more constrained, unable to spare a single hand.
Under these circumstances, Fu Nanli swept forward with devastating force.
Taihao Ju was the first to meet disaster. Already gravely injured, he turned and fled the moment Fu Nanli moved, not daring to hesitate for even a breath. However, it was still too late, or rather, even escape would have been futile. After all, his opponent was Fu Nanli, a Greater Boundless Realm expert of the Spirit Sect!
Pu!
In the blink of an eye, the crimson flying sword cleaved downward. Taihao Ju was split in two, blood spraying through the air before his shattered body was reduced to dust by the tyrannical sword intent.
At the same time, the twenty Creation Realm cultivators stationed nearby sensed the mortal danger and scattered in all directions, fleeing in panic. Unfortunately, they were neither Lin Xun nor Jue Wutian. They did not possess heaven-defying power capable of contending with beings of the Greater Boundless Realm.
In the next instant, chains of divine law power shot forth, piercing through their fleeing figures and killing them on the spot. The slaughter was swift, ruthless and decisive. In the end, all twenty Creation Realm cultivators were slaughtered!
The gruesome sight made Xinying’s, Wen Zai’s, and Xingtian Yuan’s eyes nearly split with fury and shock. They had never imagined the situation would spiral to such an extent.
Everything hinged on Lin Xun. He alone had restrained three Greater Boundless Realm giants. Because of that, when Fu Nanli and Xing Jianxia struck, Xinying and the others were powerless to protect Taihao Ju and the rest.
“Retreat!” Xinying roared. The situation had completely reversed. They could no longer afford even a moment’s delay.
“You want to run? Dream on!” Fu Nanli was already upon them, driving his crimson flying sword as he slashed straight toward Xinying. In terms of sheer combat strength, Fu Nanli and Xing Jianxia, both Greater Boundless Realm beings, were stronger than Xinying, Wen Zai, and Xingtian Yuan.
The only ones who could truly threaten them were Xinhu of the Zen Sect and Leisong of the Shaman Sect. Unfortunately, those two had left for the Fate Lotus World three days earlier. There was no chance they would appear now.
Of course, in a one-on-one battle, if Xinying and the others were determined to flee, Fu Nanli and Xing Jianxia alone would struggle to stop them.
Of course, it was different now. Lin Xun and his dao bodies had already locked these three old monsters firmly in place! That gave Fu Nanli and Xing Jianxia their opening!
Rumble!
The battle intensified once more. Xinying had been locked in battle with Lin Xun’s Black Water and Yellow Earth Dao Bodies, but the moment Xing Jianxia and Fu Nanli joined the fray, every attack turned toward him alone. In an instant, his situation became perilous.
Before long, Xinying was riddled with wounds. Of note, he was, after all, a Greater Boundless Realm giant. Although he was wounded time and again, his might remained ferocious and domineering. Killing him outright would not be easy in such a short time. Still, Xinying’s heart sank. He knew there would be no escape today.
“I’ll send the two of you away first!” A resolute light flashed in his eyes. He was prepared to give his life to open a path for Wen Zai and Xingtian Yuan, to preserve whatever strength remained for their side.
Unfortunately for him, just as he was about to stake everything, figures swept in from the far distance once again. It was none other than Ren Futian, Gu Yueming, Shun Huaijia, and Xue Ye, those stationed at Lotus Leaf Sacred Mountain. Furthermore, among them was Ren Futian, a Greater Boundless Realm powerhouse!
Bitterness crept across Xinying’s face. Even if he sacrificed everything now, it would no longer be enough to send Wen Zai and Xingtian Yuan away…
“Guard the area. I’ll take down the enemy.” The moment he arrived, Ren Futian charged straight into the battlefield, bronze spear in hand, thrusting directly toward Xingtian Yuan.
Meanwhile, Gu Yueming and the other two spread out, guarding the surroundings from afar. They were only at the Lesser Boundless Realm, but if they went all out, they could still cut off the retreat of Greater Boundless Realm giants. Even a brief delay, given the current circumstances, would be more than enough.
From that moment on, the tide of battle was completely reversed. Xinying, Xingtian Yuan, and Wen Zai, three Greater Boundless Realm giants, found themselves encircled on all sides!
