Chapter 1450: What is a Tribulation if I Want to Breakthrough?
Buzz!
The bright red bowstring of the No-Nonsense Bow was once again fully drawn, but this time it did not fire.
Zhao Xingyes arms trembled slightly, and her pretty face suddenly turned pale as an irritated and dull killing intent attacked her.
Without hesitation, she put away this pair of strange and astounding bow and arrow.
Previously, she had used this pair once when causing a severe injury to Niu Zhenyu, causing him to flee. Then she had used them twice in a row when dealing with the Dark Blood Magi Saint.
Although both Niu Zhenyu and the Dark Blood Magi Saint were defeated in one fell swoop and escaped with heavy injuries, Zhao Xingye was also depleted from the encounters.
Its such a pity
She sighed as she looked in the direction that the Dark Blood Magi Saint had fled, feeling a little regretful and frightened.
The immense power of the No-Nonsense Bow and Biluo Arrow meant that a True Saint could only fire the bow three times, which was simply astonishing.
But they were heavily injured in the end.
In the distance, Lin Xun came down from the sky, looking relaxed.
"That's true. According to my estimates, it will take both Niu Zhenyu and the Dark Blood Magi Saint about a year and a half to fully recover from their injuries. During this period of time, I will go all out to deal with those two old bastards!"
Zhao Xingye's clear eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Lin Xun said, This is indeed an excellent opportunity to eradicate the Magi Brute camp and the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races."
"Speaking of which, I would like to thank you for your help this time." Zhao Xingye looked at Lin Xun as a smile appeared on her beautiful face. She raised her hand to hand back the Dao Immeasurable Bottle, the No-Nonsense Bow, and the Biluo Arrow.
Before arriving to participate in the contest at Dao Observation Mountain, she had mentioned to Lin Xun that a big opportunity would most likely come to the Mulberry Woodland in the near future.
By then, those who had entered the Mulberry Woodland more than ten years ago would be ready to act.
Yuncang Mountain, at the Ziyao Camp.
The sun shone brightly as it set.
All the experts in the camp stood guard in front of the gates, waiting quietly, and no one left.
I don't know if our empire can reverse the situation for this contest..."
Many people were talking in low voices, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing and tense.
Ning Meng and Ye Xiaoqi were also there.
Although the two of them had great confidence in Lin Xun, Li Duxing, and the others, they both became a little worried as time passed. They were afraid that if bad news came back it would be a huge blow to the imperial camp.
Suddenly, someone shouted excitedly, Theyre back!
Everyone stopped what they were doing, stood up together, and looked towards the distance.
Then they saw a treasure ship breaking through the sky, headed by Zhao Xingye, followed by Shi Yu, Li Duxing, and the others.
Theyre back alive!
Haha, they won! They won!
A burst of cheers erupted in the camp, and their unsettled hearts finally relaxed as they revealed expressions of ecstasy and excitement.
As long as someone came back alive, it meant they had won!
This was because everyone knew that once someone failed in the contest, it meant death.
The treasure ship arrived at the camp, and Zhao Xingye returned to the top of the mountain alone. Shi Yu and Li Duxing were surrounded and welcomed by all the experts in the camp.
Quickly tell us what had occurred during the contest.
Yeah! How did we win this time?
Many people were quite curious and looked forward to hearing the story.
This made some powerful cultivators sigh. After more than ten years, the empire had finally avenged its previous poor showings in the contests and won a great victory!
Who wouldnt be excited by this?
"What? The Seventh Prince, Hua Liuhong, Liang Shao, and Chai Wenshan are all dead?" exclaimed someone as a sad look surfaced on their face. The originally noisy and cheerful atmosphere became much quieter.
"They sacrificed their lives for the empire. Everyone, when we leave the Blood Kill Battlefield, we must bring their ashes back to the empire!" said someone firmly, and many others echoed the same sentiment.
Suddenly, Ning Meng and Ye Xiaoqi's expressions suddenly changed and they shouted, What about Lin Xun? How come hes not here?
At this time, Shi Yu and the others told everyone how Lin Xun had defeated nine experts from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races by himself.
For a moment, there were constant exclamations, and everyone was excited, exhilarated, and dumbfounded.
"Brother Lin is truly worthy of the title of 'The Crowning Glory of the Capital' as he was able to kill our enemies and determine the fate of the contest on his own!" some exclaimed out of wonder.
"In the past, we ridiculed Brother Lin and were jealous of the treatment he enjoyed. Now it seems that we were just like frogs in a well. We were too ignorant and ridiculous back then."
Some people revealed ashamed looks.
Others sighed in admiration, With Brother Lin here, the Magi Brutes will definitely have to fear us in the next contest!"
However, Shi Yu interrupted them, "There will be no contests in the future."
He followed up by mentioning the battle between Saints that had unexpectedly occurred at the end of the contest, which aroused countless angry voices.
They all scolded Niu Zhenyu and the Dark Blood Magi Saint for being despicable and shameless; they had disregarded their reputations as Saints!
However, when they learned that the two Saints were both seriously injured and had to flee with their tails between their legs, everyone couldn't help laughing again. This was the best example of someone trying to steal the chicken only to end up losing the rice!
Now, everyone had come to the realization that Lin Xun was now staying in Dao Observation Mountain and was cultivating in front of the stone wall on the top of the mountain. This session would take a month to finish.
"Everyone, make sure to get ready. When Her Highness Zhao Xingye regains her strength, we will go out to crush the Magi Brutes and the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races!" shouted Shi Yu spiritedly.
Everyone agreed with a thundering roar and became roused up.
A single contest had not only wiped away the empires previous losses, but also changed the situation, giving them an excellent opportunity to wipe out the other two major forces!
Dao Observation Mountain, at a stretch of stone wall on the cliff at the top of the mountain.
When Lin Xun set foot here, he immediately felt an indescribable aura that was ethereal and lofty. It was impossible not to feel awed by this place.
There were carved patterns emerging one after another on the stone wall, resembling the tracks of a great road. It looked messy and complicated at first glance, but after a close look, one could tell that it was full of a mysterious and wondrous atmosphere.
This
As soon as Lin Xun looked over, he felt an explosion in his mind. All other thoughts were gone. His body and mind were overwhelmed by the endless power of the dao.
In a daze, he seemed to see that this desolate cliff flat with no grass growing on it had more going on than one would think at first glance.
Streaks of auspicious light fell down, countless spiritual flowers and grasses emerged, lush grass and trees blossomed, gorgeous forests and bamboo sprouted, hidden and entwined vines revealed themselves, and roots of ancient medicinal herbs popped up
In the sky, auspicious clouds that were green, blue, red and jade were floating down one after another, flowing with the light of the dao, peaceful and sacred.
There was a true dragon coiling around, a mythical phoenix spreading its wings, an azure bull strolling throughout, a white deer plucking medicinal herbs, and spirit monkeys appearing in groups... everywhere was full of magical sights.
A bell rang with a clang. At the end of the cliff, a figure sat on the ground. For some reason, it felt like it was sitting cross-legged on the nine heavens, giving people a sense of boundless infinity.
Then, bursts of heavenly music sounded, floating between heaven and earth, mysterious and mystical, and indescribably wonderful.
Among the cliffs and flats, the grass and trees drooped towards the ground, as if they were listening quietly.
The true dragon, the immortal phoenix, the azure ox, the white deer, and the spirit monkeys all acted as if they were sentient as they lay prone in different places. It was as if they were comprehending the dao.
Silence reigned between the heavens and earth, and only the sound of the dao could be heard.
Lin Xun felt like he was in the deepest state of mind. He sat cross-legged as his body and mind relaxed. His thoughts drifted in a daze, while he experienced all of this silently. He was immersed in all of this and no longer knew where he was.
He had completely let go of the self.
"It turns out that the dao you have made has come back here..."
It was still the same bare, stark, and desolate cliff. At some point, the mysterious woman had come out of the Omega Secret-Realm.
She put her hands behind her back, glanced at Lin Xun sitting on the ground, and then looked at the stone wall not far away.
She could see that there were a total of 1,839 carvings on the stone wall. Each carving was the manifestation of the great dao and represented a brand of the great dao.
She knew that these dao carvings all belonged to the Emperor who had died here and were the legacy and insights he had gained regarding the dao.
This was not a real inheritance and method. Instead they were the insights and realizations of the cultivation path that had been comprehended by an Emperor! It was more valuable than ordinary inheritances and methods!
"He has reached the supreme stage. He can only learn from this, but it is impossible to make it his own. But even so, it is enough to benefit him a lot."
Before long, the mysterious woman withdrew her gaze. Her expression had remained calm throughout all of this, and she was not affected by the marks of the great dao.
Its a pity. These are merely the recordings of your dao comprehension and not the foundation of your dao. Otherwise, I would definitely be able to tell what kind of imperial dao you were seeking...
The mysterious woman clasped her hands behind her back again, remained silent for a moment, and then disappeared.
In front of the stone wall, Lin Xun was completely unaware of what had just happened.
Three days later.
The imperial camp launched an all-out attack, led by Zhao Xingye, towards Qingqiao Mountain where the Magi Brutes were located.
The fighting was so devastating that Qingqiao Mountain was quickly covered with bright red blood.
Unfortunately, the Dark Blood Magi Saint and the Light and Dark Twins had already fled and were no longer on Qingqiao Mountain.
Then, Zhao Xingye took everyone to Wanji Mountain where the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races was located.
However, they had rushed for nothing. By the time they got there, the camp was completely empty. They had clearly fled in a hurry a long time ago, leaving only a mess behind.
Obviously, with both the Dark Blood Magi Saint and Niu Zhenyu injured, the Magi Brutes and the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races knew that the situation was over for them and made preparations to evacuate in advance.
Although they were unable to completely destroy their opponents, everyone in the empire knew that in the future, the Blood Kill Battlefield would be dominated by the Ziyao Empire alone!
As for the other two major camps, their power was already broken!
Ten days later.
At the entrance of Mulberry Woodland, Zhao Xingye gazed into the far distance. The gray fog billowed there, covering the entire land there. It was so foggy that nothing could be seen clearly.
But something she sensed made her heart palpitate. There was clearly something terrifying that existed deep in the foggy world.
In the end, she turned around and left.
Thirty days later.
At the top of Dao Observation Mountain, Lin Xun suddenly woke up from his meditation and opened his eyes.
At the foot of the mountain, Zhao Xingye, who had been waiting there for a while, said, Lin Xun, its time.
Lin Xun nodded and then walked to the edge of the cliff. Senior, please wait a moment.
His deep and clear black eyes looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance, and his clothes rustled around him.
And then, he softly uttered, "What is a tribulation if I want to breakthrough?
