The Prodigies War

Crash!

Blood splattered everywhere; the death of Demon Emperor Qilin sent the group of Emperor fiend spirits trembling inwardly.

They could not believe that, under such an encirclement, they had failed to suppress a supreme quasi-Emperor and instead even allowed him to kill!

From that moment on, Lin Xun launched a counterattack.

The five great dao bodies stood by his side, attacking in unison rather than fighting independently as they had before. As a result, their combined power was even stronger.

The void cracked with explosive force as a string of prayer beads, crafted from white skeletal remains, whizzed through the air, emitting an eerie gray-white buddha light that enveloped the world.

It was a treasure designed to target the spirit, able to fragment into individual components. The gray-white Buddha light carried a devouring power, capable of corroding the spirit and reducing it into ashes.

Boom!

The Red Flame Dao Body activated the Eyes of Smoldering Flames. Flames swept through the air, blasting the string of prayer beads away. The skeletal remains that formed the beads howled and trembled from the scorching pain.

At the same time, Lin Xun delivered a powerful punch to the monk shrouded in a swirling aura of sin and evil. The impact crushed his chest and sent him hurtling through the air.

Pu!

On the other side, the White Metal Dao Body, ready for action, unleashed the Thorn of Sharpness without hesitation, piercing the monk’s head.

That sequence of movements happened almost in the blink of an eye.

When the movements were completed, the Emperor fiend spirit that looked like a monk had been utterly obliterated!

Immediately, Lin Xun, together with the other three dao bodies, Black Water, Yellow Earth and Green Wood, had changed their target.

Unlike fighting alongside other cultivators, Lin Xun and the five great dao bodies were connected in mind and spirit, coordinating seamlessly with one another.

This synchronization was the key to the terrifying destructive power they unleashed.

Clang!

Before long, the Dao Lifeless Seal clashed with a giant bone axe, shaking the world with a deafening rumble.

The one controlling the giant bone axe was the graceful woman with a snake’s head and a human body. While her treasure was being restrained, she was overpowered by Lin Xun’s two great dao bodies, Black Water and Green Wood.

“Help—” she shrieked, barely able to hold on.

In fact, other Emperor fiend spirits were also attacking with everything, but they were all restrained and countered by Lin Xun himself and his other dao bodies.

Very quickly, the snake-headed woman let out a shrill scream of anguish and defiance before being struck down by the Dao Structureless Flag wielded by the Green Wood Dao Body.

The woman’s death happened only a moment after the monk’s!

The series of deaths almost drove the Emperor fiend spirits crazy.

Lin Xun and his great dao bodies together were simply invincible and unstoppable, excelling in both offense and defense. They were all equipped with an Emperor weapon of Kunlun and the techniques they used were all among the most ultimate dao arts in the world.

Fighting against them was like facing a towering mountain. No matter what they did, it was near impossible to move or shake it!

Soon, the headless man clad in armor had his defenses shattered by Lin Xun’s blade. Almost simultaneously, the Yellow Earth Dao Body charged forward, activated the Dao Lifeless Seal, and delivered the finishing blow.

Boom!

The headless man’s body was smashed to pieces, and blood spurted high.

From the start of the battle to now, he was the fifth Emperor fiend spirit to be killed, following the death of Old Bamboo Monster, Demon Emperor Qilin, the monk, and the snake-headed woman.

The Old Bronze Tree had been suppressed inside the Dao Endless Pagoda.

Less than half a quarter of an hour had passed. During this period, Lin Xun was not only far from being suppressed, but he also did not even sustain the slightest injury.

“How is that possible?!” someone cried out in anger and panic.

“Kill! Whoever doesn’t fight with full strength will die!” someone roared.

Most wore grave and ashen expressions, remaining silent, but their hearts pounded with unease, bewilderment, and fear.

If the opponent had been an expert of the Emperor Stage, they might have been able to accept it.

However, the key was that their opponent was merely a supreme quasi-Emperor, and this was what made it so difficult for them to accept.

After all, never had something like this happened before!

Rumble!

The battle grew increasingly intense. The world shook violently as the stench of blood filled the air. Endless dao light and murderous intent swept across the battlefield, plunging the sixth level of the Dark Hidden Purgatory into utter chaos.

An hour later.

Another four Emperor fiend spirits were struck down, each dying a different manner, but without exception, all met the same tragic end!

At this moment, only seven Emperor fiend spirits were left surrounding Lin Xun!

In contrast, whether it was Lin Xun’s original body or his five great dao bodies, all remained completely unscathed. They radiated boundless energy, fought like madmen, and attacked without restrained, appearing invincible.

They completely overpowered the opponents, unstoppable wherever they went!

Swoosh!

When Lin Xun planned to target the giant skeletal bird bathed in flames, it suddenly beat its wings, tore through the sky, and disappeared.

It fled!

This was also the first Emperor fiend spirit to retreat in fear since the battle began.

Lin Xun did not chase after it, but changed his target to other Emperor fiend spirits.

However, after this, the fighting spirit of the remaining Emperor fiend spirits seemed to be shaken. Whenever Lin Xun set his sights on them and unleashed his full power to eliminate them, they would flee without hesitation.

Some succeeded and managed to escape with their lives, but some were killed on the spot.

“Run!”

“We are no match for that kid!’

“Quickly run!”

Very soon, the fighting spirits of the remaining Emperor fiend spirits crumbled, and they bolted in disarray, crying out in despair to the heavens.

No one dared to face Lin Xun anymore

In other words, Lin Xun’s strength had filled them with terror and despair!

Lin Xun was ablaze with fighting spirit and surging with murderous intent—how could he possibly stop now? With a deep breath, the great dao bodies dispersed in different directions to pursue and strike down the fleeing enemies.

Meanwhile, he locked his gaze on a black-robed figure that appeared to be formed from smoke and chased him down with all his might.

From this moment onward, Lin Xun completely seized the upper hand, launching a full-scale counterattack in the sixth level of the Dark Hidden Purgatory!

……

An hour later.

Near a barren canyon, the Green Wood Dao Body swept his gaze across and gently waved the Dao Structureless Flag in his hand.

Rumble!

Countless incomparably sharp divine light roared forth like rainbows descending from above, completely enveloping the canyon.

The next moment, the canyon was completely demolished, the ground sank, and countless massive, bottomless pits took shape.

From one of the pits, an Emperor fiend spirit scrambled out in a panic, covered in dust and dirt, its body bloodied and in a miserable state.

Just as it was about to escape, it was blocked by the Green Wood Dao Body.

“Do you think you can run?” Speaking indifferently, Green Wood Dao Body waved the Dao Structureless Flag, and the next moment the fiend spirit was drowned in blazing divine light.

……

In the southwest direction.

Clad in a white robe, the White Metal Dao Body brandished the Broken Blade, locked in a fierce battle with an Emperor fiend spirit that looked like a giant statue.

This was the opponent he had chased down.

In fact, the opponent was already on the brink of collapse.

However, at that moment, a shadow as imperceptible as nothingness suddenly emerged from the darkness, wielding a flying bone sword and striking at White Metal Dao Body from behind.

From beginning to end, there was neither sound nor movement, not even the faintest ripple of energy—it was utterly bizarre.

Upon seeing this, the giant statue-like fiend spirit’s scarlet lantern-like eyes flashed with wild joy.

Unfortunately, the next second, that joy was replaced by shock and terror.

Then, Lin Xun’s Red Flame Dao Body suddenly appeared out of nowhere, raising the Dao Skyless Spear and driving it toward the imperceptible shadow.

Boom!

Caught off guard, the shadow was struck instantly, sent staggering and flying backward, groaning in pain.

Almost at the same time, the White Metal Dao Body executed a swift slash, finishing off the giant statue-like fiend spirit who was barely clinging to life.

Pu!

His head flew into the air, staining the sky with blood.

The White Metal Dao Body turned and charged toward the opponent battling the Red Flame Dao Body in the distance.

……

Northeast, southeast…

Similar scenes were unfolding in all directions: opponents fleeing in chaos, falling one after another. Meanwhile, Lin Xun and the great dao bodies split up to pursue them, launching wave after wave of bloody slaughter.

During the process, some Emperor fiend spirits who had been lurking in the shadows and refraining from action could no longer hold back. They made their move upon seeing Lin Xun and the great dao bodies split up.

All of a sudden, the sixth level of the Dark Hidden Purgatory was plunged into chaos, with carnage and bloodshed unfolding in every corner, creating a turbulent atmosphere.

After the time it took to burn an incense stick.

The number of Emperors slain by Lin Xun and his five great dao bodies had soared to an astonishing twenty-one!

At this point, although unscathed, Lin Xun was beginning to feel a bit fatigued.

After all, he was only at the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage. Simultaneously mobilizing five great dao bodies, activating powerful dao arts and controlling Emperor weapons with incredible powers all consumed an enormous amount of physical strength.

If it weren’t for his solid foundation, it would have been impossible for him to hold out for even the time it took to burn an incense stick.

“Although there are many Emperor-level fiend spirits here, most are only equivalent to the first level of the Emperor Stage and pose little threat.

“However, it’s not a bad place to train for a while.”

While reflecting, Lin Xun made up his mind to recall the five great dao bodies and take a temporary break to replenish his energy.

At this moment—Chi!

A blood-stained broken sword slashed through the sky toward him, its incomparably fierce sword qi dimming the entire world and enveloping it in boundless terror.

Clang!

The dazzling qi of the Dao Lawless Blade blocked the unexpected attack.

Then, an incredible scene happened. With a flash, the broken sword transformed into a jet-black, cold-looking youth with blood-red hair, standing only two feet tall. Blood-red light radiated from him, while an aura of resentment surged toward the heavens.

Evidently, he was a sword spirit that had its own intelligence!

“The broken sword spirit that’s entangled in an aura of curses and resentment has appeared again...”

In the shadows, an Emperor fiend spirit was stunned by the sight, unable to believe it, because the broken sword spirit had not appeared for a very long time.

With a piercing and icy gaze, the two-foot-tall youth with blood-red hair looked at Lin Xun and said, “Leave that sword case on your back and I guarantee that no one will stop you from leaving.”

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows. This sword spirit must also be a fiend spirit, but it has formed its own intelligence and it knows that the bronze sword case I’m carrying on my back is extraordinary!
