Chapter 445: The Passageway Opens
It contained the three-layer combination of Mountain Smashing, Sea Splitting, and Soul Shattering Destructions. The horrifying power caused several nearby cultivators’ expressions to change slightly.
It was already a foregone conclusion. The Supreme East Sword Sect youngster was immediately smashed into the ground like a sprawled-out frog as blood spurted from his nose and mouth.
Hiss!
Numerous people gasped. One move again! He had subdued a formidable younger generation Supreme East Sword Sect member in a single move!
A change had occurred in their gazes when they looked at Lin Xun again. When he first arrived, several people had openly made many disdainful comments about him. They had believed he was insignificant and coming here was no different from seeking his death.
However, after witnessing the earlier scenes, they could not help but feel a little fear as their backs turned chilly. The realization had finally dawned upon them that this sorry-looking youngster was actually a deeply hidden vicious beast.
Lin Xun stepped forward, killing intent flashing in his black eyes as if he was about to finish off the youngster.
“Don’t think you can do as you please!”
An elder wearing a purple robe suddenly charged out from the Supreme East Sword Sect side. A beam of silver light shot out from his forehead and rushed toward Lin Xun.
Lin Xun met the attack with his fist. With a loud rumble, space shattered as devastating energies swept outwards. The astonishing power made several people’s hearts tremble.
A Heaven Ascension expert had attacked!
The purple-robed elder walked forward with an ice-cold expression as dazzling silver divine light appeared and surged through the air without the slightest resistance.
Lin Xun did not take any evasive maneuvers and instead advanced to meet the attack. Azure divine light glowed intensely from his hands and blasted forth like a raging sea, smashing into the silver light. Dazzling light immediately erupted and rained everywhere as the ground grumbled and cracked.
“Hmph!”
The purple-robed elder’s expression darkened. The slight annoyance he felt had turned into genuine anger and then killing intent after Lin Xun had managed to block his attacks not just once but twice.
Rumble!
Silver light boiled around him as he extended both of his arms to the side. His aura became as terrifying as a great peng.
The crowds’ hearts thumped in alarm. The purple-robed elder’s aura was too strong and felt like a flash flood. He had fully manifested the pressure of the Heaven Ascension stage, making them not dare to stare too closely.
“Chu Lintian, an expert from the Supreme East Sword Sect that has already made a name for himself long ago. I didn’t expect that he would be accompanying the disciples.”
“Looks like the competition in Treasure Drop Blood Plain will be very cutthroat this time.”
Numerous people were alarmed and surprised.
Chu Lintian moved, stirring up a strong gust of wind that blew up dirt and stones as silver light surged violently.
What shocked everyone was that Lin Xun did not back down against the formidable might of a Heaven Ascension expert.
Instead, his black eyes seemed to surge like the great abyss. Azure light pulsed from his body as his aura also became tyrannical without equal.
The two individuals clashed. One old and one young, a Spirit Sea youngster against a Heaven Ascension elder. They displayed their power, unleashing formidable attacks that raged across the surroundings.
Divine light rumbled like a devastating tsunami, reducing space to particles and making the entire area ripple violently as even the world seemed to change color around them.
There were numerous cultivators present with no lack of outstanding talents and even Heaven Ascension experts hidden as servants among them.
All of them could not help but feel their hearts stir when they watched the battle. There was nothing that needed to be said about Chu Lintian. As a Heaven Ascension expert, his capabilities were already clear to everyone.
Instead, everyone was greatly surprised by Lin Xun’s showing!
No one had expected an advanced Spirit Sea youngster like him to be capable of facing off against a Heaven Ascension expert without being immediately subdued!
The thought of it was terrifying. Besides a small handful of the most dazzling younger generation experts present, it made everyone else appear dim in comparison.
Who is this youngster?
Why is he such a savage?
Rumble~
A symphony of explosions rumbled, shaking the sky and land.
Everyone could see that although Lin Xun was repeatedly beaten back, he would always charge forward again as if he was immune to injury.
The most frightening part was that his aura and power were steadily climbing in battle!
“I remember, he’s the youngster that faced Daoist Bear!”
“So it’s him. I heard that the Heaven Ascension expert Qian Huai, who was accompanying Fire Refining Sect’s successor Wei Jun, was killed by him. Could the rumors be true?”
Cries of surprise sounded as rumors regarding Lin Xun were revealed.
Many cultivators present did not know about Lin Xun, but an uproar rapidly spread when they found out that he had killed Qian Huai and forced Daoist Beat to helplessly retreat.
It was shocking news, to say the least!
No one would have imagined that this sorry-looking youngster had accomplished such astonishing feats previously.
Killing an expert that was one greater cultivation stage higher, leaving Daoist Bear no choice but to angrily withdraw…it was just inconceivable!
Even the likes of Cloud Jade Sky Mountain’s Ling Zinuo, Solitary Star Sect’s Tie Qianhan, Spirit Yuan Sword Sect’s Yun Ke, Blood Divine Sect’s Yuan Zhan, Myriad Spirit Land’s Lian Dieyi, and other famous geniuses became interested and started to properly look at Lin Xun.
Only the greatest individuals of the generation could kill Heaven Ascension cultivators at the Spirit Sea stage!
The Supreme East Sword Sect disciples’ expressions fluctuated indeterminately. On the way here, they had made many rude remarks about Lin Xun and had shown nothing but disdain toward him.
Who could have expected that the very youngster they had looked down on would instantly subdue their attendant, defeat their fellow disciple, and was now putting up a fight against their sect’s Heaven Ascension expert?!
This caught them completely off guard and made them both alarmed and angry.
The commotion from the crowd was also picked up by Zhu Lintian. He had originally been bewildered and suspected that Lin Xun was also a Heaven Ascension expert who had suppressed his cultivation to the Spirit Sea stage.
However, he now realized that the youngster was a remarkable genius who had even killed a Heaven Ascension expert!
This scared Zhu Lintian. Although he was no ordinary expert, even he did not dare to claim that he could defeat Daoist Bear.
From this, it could be seen how freakish the youngster was!
If Zhu Lintian failed to subdue the youngster while everyone was watching, it would be a huge humiliation for the Supreme East Sword Sect!
Lin Xun’s ferocity suddenly intensified. His aura shook the sky, causing everyone to look at him. No one would dare to underestimate him any longer.
On the other hand, Zhu Lintian suddenly found himself stuck between a rock and a hard place.
A mighty Heaven Ascension expert failing to swiftly take down Lin Xun in such a public setting was undoubtedly embarrassing.
To make things worse, the Supreme East Sword Sect did not dare to send anyone else to help. It wasn’t because they didn’t want to but because it would be even more shameful if they sent more people to deal with Lin Xun. News of it would certainly spread to the entire Ancient Spirit World in a few days, making them a laughing stock.
Omm~
However, something unexpected soon occurred. The blood-colored light in the sky began to gather and release terrifying undulations. Soon after, the sky above the ancient stone pillar suddenly shattered, revealing a blood-colored vortex-like tunnel that swirled with frightening restriction power.
The door to Treasure Drop Blood Plain had opened!
Every gaze was immediately drawn over, no longer paying any attention to the fight between Lin Xun and Zhu Lintian.
“Go!”
“Quickly move out!”
“Hurry up, we only have a brief moment to act!”
Shouts rapidly sounded in succession.
Lights rose into the air and rushed toward the blood-colored vortex like a wave.
“Kid, I’m letting you off this time. You’re dead after we enter Treasure Drop Blood Plain!”
Zhu Lintian grew anxious and no longer cared about the battle against Lin Xun. The Heaven Ascension expert left behind a threat before hurriedly flying toward the blood-colored tunnel.
There would be many chances for him to kill Lin Xun but only one chance to enter Treasure Drop Blood Plain. Zhu Lintian naturally understood which was more important at this juncture.
Lin Xun was naturally rather unhappy about this.
However, he soon sensed Zhu Lintian’s aura weakening. The older man was clearly suppressing his cultivation level in an attempt to avoid the restriction power of the blood-colored tunnel to enter Treasure Drop Blood Plain.
Upon seeing this, Lin Xun immediately took out the No-Nonsense Bow and pulled back the blood-red bowstring.
Beng!
A blurry, invisible arrow tore through the air and shot toward Zhu Lintian.
Lin Xun wasn’t trying to kill him but hoped to force the older man to activate his Heaven Ascension power.
If that succeeded, Zhu Lintian would have no choice but to withdraw from the blood-colored tunnel if he wished to live. Otherwise, he would suffer a huge backlash.
Shhliick!
Blood spurted as Zhu Lintian received the arrow with his body, leaving a bloody hole in his right shoulder.
“Little punk, just wait and see!” In the blood-colored tunnel, Zhu Lintian roared in pain as he quickly vanished.
Lin Xun’s eyes narrowed. He had not expected Zhu Lintian would willingly take the attack in order to enter Treasure Drop Blood Plain.
By the time Lin Xun holstered the No-Nonsense Bow, more than half of the cultivators had already entered the blood-colored tunnel. No one was paying him any attention as they rushed toward the tunnel as if they had gone crazy.
These were cultivators. None of them could bear to miss out on the opportunity to enter a place like Treasure Drop Blood Plain.
“Handsome boy, you’re pretty good. Would you like to work together in Treasure Drop Blood Plain?”
A fragrant breeze suddenly assaulted Lin Xun as a sexy and graceful figure appeared. It was the Myriad Spirit Land successor, Lian Dieyi.
Her beautiful eyes shone expectantly as her red lips, mesmerizing figure, and seductive mannerisms gave off an irresistible charm.
Any other cultivator would have been smitten long ago and willingly submitted.
However, Lin Xun merely glanced at her and coldly rejected, “Apologies, I’m used to working alone.”
“Oh, what a pity.”
Lian Dieyi let out a faint sigh before she turned into a flash of multicolored light that flew toward the blood-colored tunnel.
As Lin Xun watched her leave, he suddenly drew a deep breath to forcibly suppress the berserk power in his body.
The battle with Zhu Lintian had been too short, making it impossible to materialize the last part of his Origin Aeth Artery.
However, there would definitely be many chances after entering Treasure Drop Blood Plain!
Rustle!
Without any hesitation, Lin Xun’s figure also flew toward the blood-colored tunnel and quickly disappeared.
“He must be killed immediately if he becomes an enemy!”
Not long after Lin Xun departed, numerous cultivators that had been watching in secret revealed cruel expressions in their eyes.
Lin Xun’s astonishing feats from earlier had made them wary of him.
