The Prodigies War

Chapter 1261 Close Yet Far



Chapter 1261 Close Yet Far

Underworld Son was a Supreme King at the fourth longevity tribulation stage. He was an ancient-era eccentric genius who had emerged from the Divine Underworld Altar and possessed all sorts of great fortunes.

With an exceptional aptitude for cultivation and superb battle prowess, he was regarded as a favored child of Heaven.

In the four years since his emergence, the forces of Underworld had risen strongly in the Upper Nine Realms under his leadership, taking all the spotlight with their intimidating and unrivaled momentum.

Needless to say, he was a heaven pride that could lead the era!

But now…

He had been killed in front of Kongzhe Mountain, chopped into pieces, and his blood was now staining Underworld.

Utter silence filled the area as everyone’s hearts were drowned in shock.

The powerful forces of Underworld were completely frozen in disbelief and frightened out of their minds.

They had come here in great numbers and drew the attention of the whole world, thinking that killing Lin Xun and slaughtering all of Kongzhe Mountain would be an easy task.

Who would have thought that their leader was killed before everything else?!

This was completely beyond their imagination.

The other spectators were also in a trance.

From the very start, almost no one had been optimistic about Lin Xun. After all, he was ultimately a stage behind in terms of cultivation.

Despite that, he had survived until the end!

It all just seemed unbelievable.

Even the Little Golden Winged Dapeng King, Ye Mohe, Luo Jia, and the other top-class characters also fell into silence.

As their minds replayed the fierce scenes just now, their hearts were unable to calm down.

This battle was treacherous, full of twists and turns, and incredibly tragic and bloody!

Lin Xun and Underworld Son had been like the most skilled chess players. Every move they had made had been unexpected and put them through one shock after another!

Everyone on Kongzhe Mountain was similarly silent.

The pressure they had endured during the last three days had weighed on their hearts, and their nerves had been like taut strings that could snap at any moment.

Only upon seeing Underworld Son being killed could they finally be sure that the dangerous situation had finally passed!

It was like seeing the rainbow after a long storm!

“Underworld Son…is dead…” someone finally spoke up with difficulty and broke the silence.

Immediately after, a loud clamor exploded.

It was hard for the audience to control their emotions. Noisy waves of lamenting, marveling, sighing, and yelling echoed like a tsunami.

“Demon God Lin truly, really cannot be defeated!”

“After going missing for four years, he reappeared and killed Underworld Son to establish his authority. Truly a godly man.”

“Underworld Son was also a renowned, domineering figure. It’s a pity that he was killed before he could make a name for himself in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.”

“Demon God Lin…”

Amidst the clamor, everyone looked at Lin Xun with a completely different attitude.

His clothes were ragged and stained with blood, he was bruised and battered, and his face was deadly pale, but…who dared to underestimate him?

In the boiling, excited atmosphere, Lin Xun suddenly made an unexpected move.

Boom!

With a wave of his hand, dao light burst out and covered Underworld Son's mangled corpse.

Huh?

The onlookers shuddered with alerted expressions. Could it be that he’s not dead yet?

Whoosh, whoosh!

Sure enough, the pieces of flesh and blood seemed quite alive as they emitted shrieking noises.

And then, they turned into finger-thick scarlet streaks and flew off in all directions. There were so many of them that it was impossible to count.

While Lin Xun continued to blast out dao light and obliterated many, there was still a portion that escaped into the sky.

“This…”

The shocking sight had everyone speechless.

In the fight with Lin Xun, Underworld Son’s head had been chopped off, and when they had thought that he had fallen, he had then transformed into an eight-winged blood mosquito and launched a counterattack.

Just now, upon seeing Lin Xun chop him to pieces, everyone had thought that he was completely dead this time, but then it happened again!

The crowd shuddered in an inexplicable chill... Don’t tell me that Underworld Son can’t be obliterated?

This is too bizarre!

Rumble~

While everyone was horrified, Lin Xun did not stop. The Broken Blade appeared like lightning and cut down one fleeing red streak after another.

He hadn’t been quite sure and had just wanted to test if Underworld Son was really dead or not. Only now was he sure that the fellow was still alive!

This result startled Lin Xun and made him even more determined to completely eradicate him.

If such a powerful guy who was, on top of that, armed to the teeth with so many bizarre means, escaped, he would definitely rise again in the future and bring no end of trouble.

Poof poof poof!

In the sky, one scarlet streak after another was intercepted and annihilated.

“You damn bastard!”

A roar suddenly resounded. It came from one of the scarlet streaks that had managed to avoid the Broken Blade. With a buzz, it transformed into a faint figure.

It was none other than Underworld Son!

Hovering in rotations above him was the Spirit Refining Kettle as it shed a hazy and obscure halo, guarding him inside.

The area was instantly stirred when everyone finally confirmed with their own eyes that he really was still alive!

“Chop!” Lin Xun did not waste a second to send his Broken Blade across the sky.

Impermanence Slash!

A loud bang resounded as this slash that was intended to be a sure-kill by Lin Xun was blocked.

It was a broken and old bronze shield with dried blood stains on the surface.

But at this moment, it was blocking off the Broken Blade without suffering a scratch behind the rain of blinding sparks!

Even so, the power of this slash was too great and beyond what Underworld Son could withstand. With a whoosh, the bronze shield was sent flying.

The force shook Underworld Son from inside out. His already feeble figure was like a plate of glass on the verge of shattering. If it wasn’t for the protection of the Spirit Refining Kettle, he would have collapsed long ago.

“Lin Xun, I shall kill you sooner or later!” he roared with extreme resentment.

“Slash!” Lin Xun wasted no energy on nonsense as the Broken Blade once again slashed out.

“What a bunch of trash! Why aren’t you lot attacking him?!” Underworld Son was so terrified that he shrieked without thinking while dodging even faster than before.

The outcome of the previous fight had been so devastating that it robbed the Underland cultivators of their fighting spirits and extinguished their murderous intent toward Lin Xun. Why would they still be willing to fight with their lives on the line when Underworld Son was dead?

However, their leader had unexpectedly come to life again, and it lifted their spirits.

Right away, someone charged out to block Lin Xun while shouting, “Kill!”

It was Zhan Yuan who was at the third longevity tribulation Supreme King stage.

“Kill him!” The other Underworld cultivators also rushed out.

However, most of them moved slowly and with reservations, obviously not willing to risk lives at all.

This was what they called a rabble.

It was by no means an exaggeration to say that when Underworld Son lost, the Underworld forces had already fallen apart.

Whoosh!

Luo Jia suddenly flew out from the crowd like a phoenix and blocked Zhan Yuan’s attack.

She spoke in a clear and pleasing voice, “Lin Xun, just focus on Underworld Son and leave these fools to me.”

There was a moment of consternation in the arena as no one had expected that Luo Jia, the proud daughter of the Celestial Phoenix Clan, would decisively come forward and help Lin Xun.

“Count me in!”

A monstrous sword aura swept out and stirred the heavens. Yue Jianming and his sword entered the battle.

Chaos ensued, and the sound of fierce fighting shook the sky.

This put a smile on Lin Xun’s face before he immediately gathered his emotions and continued the chase.

Boom!

The Underworld Emperor Spirit Refining Kettle swayed, dispensing a rain of obscure light that helped Underworld Son miraculously block one attack after another.

But despite remaining unharmed, Underworld Son still suffered from the impact, which showed through his increasingly dimmer figure until he became a blurred shadow that could disappear at any moment.

It was obvious that he could not hold on much longer!

“Slash!”

Lin Xun once again executed the Impermanence Slash.

But at that moment, a string of black rosary beads appeared out of nowhere, each bead blooming with dense Buddhist text that quickly formed twenty-four Buddha illusions!

The Buddhas were towering, each blotting out a horizon and releasing a boundless black glow while wearing a solemn expression.

Dun! Dun! Dun!

Waves of Buddhist chanting started resounding with compassion, as if there were demons to suppress.

This scene was oddly familiar!

It was this move from Ancient Buddha Son that had ambushed Lin Xun and gotten him trapped at the bottom of Underworld River four years ago.

And now, the scene was once again repeated.

Boom!

Everything happened all too fast, right at the moment Lin Xun had attacked. The timing was precise and ruthless.

The Buddha illusions surrounding Lin Xun deployed attacks all at once with a suppressing and unshakable might, sparing no inch of the area!

But unlike the last time, Lin Xun appeared surprisingly calm in this fatal situation.

He tapped in the air, and with a buzz, an invisible spatial fluctuation spread out from his fingertip.

Suddenly, the imminent attacks from all directions seemed as if they were at the other end of the world, and no matter what method they operated on, none of them were able to get close to Lin Xun.

The sight was extremely bizarre, but also extremely shocking!

This was the second move of the Great Diffusion Void Breaker Finger – Close Yet Far.

A tap of the finger, and it was as if the sky had split in half. The enemy was at a stone’s throw, while Lin Xun was at the other end of the crack, immune to all attacks!contemporary romance

This was a kind of defensive method that had a similar concept to movement restriction, but much more miraculous and amazing.

How could you attack someone that stood inside an isolated world of their own?

The essence of this finger move involved the profound mystery of space!

Space was a great dao law that only Saints could comprehend, so Lin Xun naturally hadn’t grasped it. He understood the concept, but did not understand the principle behind it, so he could only cultivate the moves to use its power.

This was like drawing the appearance of someone and not knowing what they were really like at heart.

But even so, the effect and power of this move was still more than heaven-defying!

At least at this moment, it had completely defused Ancient Buddha Son’s surprise attack.

Bang!

In the distance, the Broken Blade had also chopped out. The Underworld Emperor Spirit Refining Kettle shook under the impact and with that, Underworld Son let out a mournful scream.

And then, both the master and the treasure disappeared.

“What a pity…” Lin Xun sighed.

However, there wasn’t much regret.

Lin Xun reckoned that even if Underworld Son managed to survive, then he would have to suffer a tremendous loss of vitality and irreparable trauma that would be impossible to recover from in a short period of time!
