Chapter 1161 Purge
The Mysterious Metropolis Sect’s territory was mainly composed of an extremely magnificent ancient hall that covered a huge area.
In the past, it was akin to a forbidden land that ordinary cultivators did not dare to approach.
At present, however, the hall was in complete disarray and filled with random yelling and shouting.
The Mysterious Metropolis Sect disciples were fleeing in fear as if the sky was collapsing. None of them had expected Operation Kill Demon God Lin to suddenly take such a drastic turn.
However, Lin Xun had arrived far too quickly and immediately started killing the instant he stepped foot into the place.
Plop plop plop!
Lives were swiftly harvested like rows of wheat, causing blood to spray everywhere.
Although some people managed to escape the initial onslaught, they were swiftly cut down by Lin Xun before they could get very far.
He was clearly intent on exterminating them down to the last man!
The onlookers who had followed from afar revealed horrified looks while their hearts involuntarily trembled. At this rate, Demon God Lin was going to completely destroy the Mysterious Metropolis Sect's foundations in the Supreme Realm!
The various ancient orthodoxies had dispatched all this manpower into the Supreme Realm to gather huge amounts of resources and blessings that would in turn raise the strength of their sects.
As such, the destruction of a faction’s territory was tantamount to ruining their entire operation in the Supreme Realm!
Kill!
Lin Xun advanced without stopping, his black hair flying around him as he displayed overwhelming and unrivaled combat power.
The vicinity of the building was soon covered in blood and corpses, making it resemble a scene straight out of purgatory.
Outside the city, Miao Cen, the newly-born King expert of the Mysterious Metropolis Sect, nearly fainted after hearing the news. It made her so angry that she coughed blood and released a sky-shaking scream.
Regret welled up within her.
She regretted failing to kill Lin Xun when he first showed up five days ago!
Lin Xun had clearly started with the Mysterious Metropolis Sect as retaliation against her!
Wu Yuanzhen’s, Shang Chong’s, and Wang Yuntong’s expressions turned incomparably ugly at this moment.
Five days ago, they had regarded Lin Xun as a bug that could easily be squashed. Who could have imagined that this very bug would start such a bloody revenge five days later?!
Plop!
Fist-force swept across the ancient hall, killing the final expert. Lin Xun was now the only person left standing inside.
The ground was littered with corpses.
The watching experts’ scalps crazily tingled, realizing that even if there were any survivors it was already over for the Mysterious Metropolis Sect!
"Anyone who dares to even think about touching anything here will become my enemy!"
Suddenly, Lin Xun turned around and coldly gazed at the crowd of onlookers, causing them to stiffen as their hearts shivered uncontrollably.
There were indeed a few experts among them who had thought about taking advantage of this situation.
After all, this was the Mysterious Metropolis Sect's territory. The huge amount of treasures they must have collected would fill anyone with desire.
However, Lin Xun’s warning was akin to pouring a bucket of cold water over their heads and instantly extinguished the greed in their hearts.
Although the treasures were tempting, they weren’t worth making an enemy out of Demon God Lin.
Swish!
After leaving this warning, Lin Xun flew away.
He had to hurry up and kill as many enemies as he could. Otherwise, the other orthodoxies would immediately try to escape from the city when they returned to their senses.
"Little Silver, stay here and collect the treasures. When you’re done, return and join up with me."
Before leaving, Lin Xun left Little Silver behind.
Human greed was a terrifying thing. Although it could be suppressed, it was very difficult to fully eradicate!
As the saying went, people died for money and birds died for food.
Five days ago, when Lin Xun was seriously injured and on the verge of dying, even random cultivators dared to view him as an easy target. From this, it was evident that almost anything could happen under the influence of greed.
Although many of these onlookers were probably happy to watch him go on a killing spree, Lin Xun would not allow them to take any advantage of the situation!
After all, not a single one of them had tried to help him while the various great factions had been attacking him for the past five days.
But now they wanted to find easy advantages by following him?
Absolutely not!
Lin Xun rushed into the Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain territory at full speed, crushing everything and anyone in his path with absolute power.
Fortunately, these great factions had selected locations in the heart of the city so their territories were pretty close to each other. This allowed Lin Xun to not make too many unnecessary turns and save a lot of time.
It didn't take long for Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain's territory to be destroyed and flooded with rivers of blood.
Previously, this orthodoxy had tried to subdue Little Silver and ended up forcing him to make a sacrifice play to protect Lin Xun. Hence, he naturally wasn’t going to let them off easily!
Outside the city, the eyes of the Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain King expert turned red as he gnashed his teeth so hard in anger that they nearly shattered. Such retaliation was an irrecoverable blow to Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain.
Soon after, the Sea Soul Clan's territory was also destroyed, followed by the Moon Worshipper Sect's...
Due to panic, numerous cultivators from these factions failed to escape in time.
Coupled with how quickly Lin Xun moved, the casualties they suffered were no less than the Mysterious Metropolis Sect’s and Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain’s.
Outside the city, the group of King experts howled in anger.
However, due to the prohibition of Burning Immortal Ancient City, it was impossible for them to enter, leaving them no choice but to powerlessly watch everything happen.
It was torturous, to say the least!
Who would have thought that after five days, the initially heavily injured and dying Demon God Lin would launch such a bloody counterattack?
Moreover, from the looks of it, he seemed intent on exterminating the various great factions and completely obliterating all traces of them from Burning Immortal Ancient City!
However, although Lin Xun was fast, several factions still managed to evacuate in advance as the news spread.
This included the Golden Crow Lineage, Profound Light Ancient Clan, and a few others.
Despite this, the damage he caused was exceedingly shocking. By the time the news fully spread, the territories of six orthodoxies had already been destroyed.
Some were horrified while others were in disbelief. Lin Xun was simply too fast, like a storm of carnage that laid waste to everything in his path!
Burning Immortal Ancient City fell into turmoil!
Such a bloody incident had never occurred since the Supreme Realm opened nearly half a year ago.
There were millions of cultivators in the city. As such, only a small minority had been able to witness Lin Xun’s feats.
Most of the population did not dare to believe it when they heard the news. Demon God Lin had not only survived but also destroyed the territories of many orthodoxies. It was as if a real demon god had descended!
"That’s...way too powerful, right? Didn’t they say he suffered a dao injury and was going to die? How did he crush so many experts and even uproot the territories of several orthodoxies?"
"My god! This is huge news that will more than shake the entire world! After half a year of silence, Demon God Lin has risen once again and dyed the city in his enemies’ blood!"
"How powerful has he become?"
The news swept through Burning Immortal Ancient City like a hurricane.
Everyone trembled upon hearing it. In fact, numerous cultivators even began to shake in excitement as their blood boiled, feeling an unprecedented delight!
For some time now, there had been growing resentment toward the various orthodoxies due to the unscrupulous methods they had deployed to collect all of the blessings and resources in the Burning Immortal World.
Hence, there was almost no one who wouldn’t feel delighted by Lin Xun’s actions.
"He must be a king among the supreme. How else can he be so powerful?"
Meanwhile, several ancient-era talents and supreme heaven prides were bewildered as they analyzed Lin Xun’s current combat power.
Someone said, "We just have to wait. He'll definitely enter the Supreme Building. When that happens, we’ll know for certain once we see his ranking!"
The Supreme Building was filled with many tests. Only those who ranked among the top thousand would gain the qualifications to enter the Upper Ninth Realm!
Of course, those who managed to become King experts could also enter the Upper Ninth Realm.
However, for heaven prides with the aspiration to become Supreme King experts, the Supreme Building was the only proper path to enter the Upper Ninth Realm.
It was because, over the past six months, everyone had arrived at a certain conclusion after much analysis and speculation.
It wasn’t completely impossible to reach the Supreme King stage in the Three Thousand Worlds, but the chances of it were far too abysmal because it required a heaven-defying blessing!
However, such heaven-defying blessings were very limited in the Three Thousand Worlds and most worlds would have at most a single one.
In fact, there were many worlds where such heaven-defying blessings couldn’t even be found.
Therefore, for most supreme heaven prides, the only way to become Supreme King experts was through the Upper Ninth Realm!
Since Lin Xun had not become a King expert yet, many believed that he would head to the Supreme Building before the deadline of one year was up.
"From today, who would dare to make an enemy of Lin Xun in the city?"
Many people lamented, realizing that things were going to change in Burning Immortal Ancient City.
Even the orthodoxies that had not messed with Demon God Lin would not dare to rashly come into contact with him or provoke him.
……
Meanwhile, the outside of the city wasn’t peaceful either.
The group of King experts roared in anger while the cultivators who had managed to escape also had ashen and enraged expressions.
A single person had forced them to flee from the city in order to preserve their lives!
It was undoubtedly a great humiliation!
However, everyone also understood that none of them could do anything unless Demon God Lin left the city.
"Just wait, there's still half a year left before the passageway to the Upper Ninth Realm opens. As long as Demon God Lin dares to go there, we will be able to get our revenge!"
Wu Yuanzhen gnashed his teeth as killing intent overflowed from him.
Revelation dawned upon the other King experts. Yes, they only needed to wait half a year more. As long as he entered the Upper Ninth Realm, Demon God Lin would no longer be able to hide under Burning Immortal Ancient City’s protection like he was doing now!
One of the supreme heaven prides couldn’t help but ask, "But...if we don't enter the city, how will we get ranked for the Supreme Building?"
The sentence caused the hearts of other supreme heaven prides to sink as a wave of powerlessness and despair washed over them.
With Demon God Lin around, what chance would they have to enter the Supreme Building?
This was tantamount to blocking their path to the Upper Ninth Realm!
Someone suggested, "Perhaps, we can try to slip in. I refuse to believe that Demon God Lin can stand guard at the city gates everyday just to wait for us!"
One of the supreme heaven prides said in a low voice, "There’s another option...to directly become a King expert."
The King expert he referred to was naturally not a Supreme King expert.
Such a decision was equivalent to giving up on the chance to become a Supreme King expert.
It was undoubtedly a heavy price to pay!
"That damned Demon God Lin!"
The experts outside the city suddenly felt a deepening hatred toward Lin Xun.
His actions had cost them far too much!
