Chapter 1054 The Battle of Luck Begins

Xiao Qinghe was eliminated in the most humiliating and cruel way.

Lin Xun struggled to contain his anger when he saw that.

Being defeated was nothing, but Lin Xun couldn’t accept that he was tortured before being defeated!

“Lin Xun, are you angry? That’s right, I was also very angry when you killed my cousin Lian’er.”

A feminine and hoarse voice tinkled in his ear like the hiss of a venomous snake.

Lin Xun saw that Qing Wenjun had shifted his gaze onto the mountain where he stood.

He was dressed in a feathery robe that complemented his fair skin and pretty, bewitching face. His thin lips looked like a fiery red blade.

“You can get back on me, but why did you attack Xiao Qinghe?!” Lin Xun’s expression was ice-cold.

“Because I also want you to experience the feeling of anger.” Qing Wenjun laughed wildly. “Speaking of which, you have no one in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, not even a family member. I had great trouble thinking of someone to vent my anger. Fortunately, I found Xiao Qinghe.”

It seemed that before this, Qing Wenjun had secretly inquired about Lin Xun, intending to strike a vicious blow on people who were close to Lin Xun!

“Are you not afraid of the Moon Sun Sacred Palace?” Lin Xun wrinkled his brows. This guy looks gentle and easygoing, but he is actually a crazy sicko.

“If I was afraid, would I have done it?” Qing Wenjun said nonchalantly. “You saw what happened to Xiao Qinghe. Let me tell you this now…unless you obediently kneel down and beg right now, I will kill everyone related to you one by one and make them into paintings of blood.” A sinister smile spread across his face as he looked at Lin Xun with a crazed look.

Lin Xun was silent for a moment, and then he smiled, “Then let’s see if your Blue Luan Clan can bear my wrath again. If you dare to harm people related to me, then I will wipe out your entire clan. If you don’t believe me, then you can try it. Let’s see who will have the last laugh.

“Oh, by the way, you’d better hope that you don’t face off against me later.” His voice was calm but determined.

Once he finished his sentence, he retracted his gaze and no longer took another glance at him.

Qing Wenjun had touched Lin Xun’s reverse scale and sparked his killing intent.

Qing Wenjun looked taken aback before he burst out laughing like a lunatic. His feminine eyes shone with madness. “Then give it a try!”

……

Thud!

Meanwhile, on another mountain peak, A’lu fought like an indefatigable ferocious beast. With just his bare hands, he blasted away his opponent’s treasure and sent him flying out of the altar with a kick to the chest.

His fighting spirit soared, and he assumed an air of superiority. Pointing at the peerless geniuses who were too frightened to come forward, he snorted, “What? Are you scared? Weren’t you very dissatisfied earlier? Why are you all huddled together? How can you call yourself a genius?”

His provocative voice infuriated the group of geniuses even more, to the point that their lungs almost ruptured. They hated the fact that they couldn’t tear off the barbarian’s mouth.

Still, no one dared to step forward.

It was understandable. The barbarian’s strength was as ridiculously terrifying as his mouth. He had surpassed even top figures, so who would dare to step forward after witnessing that?

Lin Xun looked away and checked on Zhao Jingxuan who was on another mountain peak.

He noticed that she had improved by leaps and bounds compared to when they last saw each other several years ago. She had grown so strong that even he couldn’t help feeling amazed.

Wearing a purple dress, she resembled a graceful dragon wandering the sky or a fairy strolling in the garden whilst she fought on the altar.

She activated the Nine Dragons Cauldron, casting the images of nine life-like dragons. They held their heads high as they whizzed across the air like divine beings descending upon earth.

She was also dueling against a top supreme character, but in less than dozens of moves, she suppressed the opponent in a head-on clash!

“She has the imperial dragon qi on her, and she has extensively studied the secret inheritance arts of the Spirit Treasure Holy Land. It is only right that she’s so magnificent.” Lin Xun felt a weight lifting off him.

From the looks of it, if everything went well, Zhao Jingxuan would easily advance onto the Little Giants List.

“That’s right, Junior Sister Jingxuan has already entered the inner chamber of the Supreme Path and is not far from reaching the peak of perfection.” Yan Zhanqiu, who had been closely watching Zhao Jingxuan from afar, nodded to himself, his eyes sparkling with admiration.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the entire Immortal Sacred Mountain buzzed ceaselessly, producing eternal and supreme great dao power. The summit of the thirty-six mountain peaks all shone brilliantly.

The battle on every altar suddenly suspended.

At the same time, an invisible force expelled the failed cultivators from the altar, leaving only thirty-six figures standing atop the altars.

One hour had passed!

Instantly, everyone waiting at the mountain foot looked at each figure remaining on the mountain peaks.

Xiao Cangtian, Ye Chen, Jin Muyun, Chu Beihai, Li Qingping, Yu Lingkong, Ji Xingyao, Gou Yanzhen, Zhao Jingxuan...

Of course, there was also Lin Xun.

A total of thirty-six peerless geniuses successfully defended the mountain!

Those who never made it onto the dao altar despite ascending the mountain lowered their heads in disappointment and frustration.

There might only seem to be one step between ascending the mountain and defending the mountain, but there was a world of difference!

Those who successfully defended the mountain would make it onto the Little Giants List and become a Little Giant figure of the younger generation.

This was not only a great honor, but also the greatest acknowledgement of one’s strength!

As for the others, they were just the backdrop this time. After being eliminated, they likely would receive much less attention in the future.

This was a battle for the great dao. One wrong step could make a world of difference!

……

“Next, it’s time for the final ranking battle. Among the thirty-six Little Giants, I wonder who will win the top spot in the end.”

At the foot of the mountain, the cultivators from the major sects all discussed spiritedly.

“Compared to the past, this year’s mountain defending battle is completely different. Some peerless geniuses would have definitely made it onto the Little Giants List if they participated in previous Little Giants List Competitions. It’s a shame that they failed this time.”

“That’s right. It's not that they are not strong, but that the participants this time included the most dazzling peerless figures from all four worlds of the ancient wasteland. Their defeat is understandable!”

“Whenever the great age comes, countless monsters and geniuses will rise up to compete for the great dao. Although the great age has yet to come, we all know that the great age will be like never before!” The older generations of cultivators sighed.

“The only exception might be Demon God Lin!”

“Many ancient sect geniuses had joined forces to target and attack him, yet he managed to survive until the end. If it were someone else, they likely would have been killed already. I have to say that he is indeed marvelous.”

“Haha, just wait, the more showy he is, the worse he will die when he leaves the Immortal Forbidden Land!”

Quite a few people were paying close attention to Lin Xun.

No one believed that he could make it onto the Little Giants List. They all thought that he would be eliminated under the bombardment of so many ancient sect geniuses.

The result was completely unexpected.

Lin Xun won!

He single handedly defeated all the genius figures on the ninth mountain peak!

He also caught the attention of the others on the other mountain peaks.

“This is what makes it interesting.” Xiao Cangtian’s blade-like eyes glowed.

“Impressive, Demon God Lin! I look forward to having a drink with you!” Sword Demon Ye Chen smiled happily as his robe fluttered around him.

“He is indeed a demon god!” A’lu grinned.

Jin Muyun, Chu Beihai, Yu Lingkong, Li Qingping, Gou Yanzhen and the others all looked as glum as another.

They had all sent forces to suppress Lin Xun, but they never thought that he would still win under such circumstances. They all looked as bad as if they had eaten a fly.

Zhao Jingxuan blinked and teased mischievously, “Amazing, little brother Demon God.”

“So what if he won? Let’s see how long that shameless fellow can last!” Ji Xingyao grumbled.

As for the other geniuses who had no grudge against Lin Xun nor knew him, they still couldn’t help but pay more attention to Lin Xun.

Some people were surprised, some were impressed and some were wary and vigilant of him.

The ranking battle would take place next. The presence of Lin Xun was undoubtedly an unpredictable variable that they had to pay attention to.

Lin Xun was unbothered by the attention. At his level, even though he dared not boast that he had absolute confidence in winning against all his peers, he was proud to say that he was not afraid of any opponent!

“I wonder what the next battle would be like…”

Lin Xun looked at the dao altars on the different peaks. There were no referees on the Immortal Sacred Mountain. He also knew that he should act according to the rules.

Rumble!

While Lin Xun was in deep thought, the altar on every peak quaked and sent up a pillar of golden light. The light beam converged together in the center of the mountain peaks before erupting with earthshaking sacred brilliance.

Afterwards, the sacred light intertwined, gradually taking the shape of an incomparably huge battlefield!

The battlefield was black and white, and tremendous, hovering in the void. It emitted a wondrous indestructible light that drew the attention of everyone.

The thirty-six golden beams led to the central battlefield from the summit of the different mountains.

This was the Luck Battlefield!

The ranking battle of the Little Giants would kick off on it.

When that happens, the prohibition, restriction and rule power of Immortal Sacred Mountain would operate independently, teleporting different participants onto the battlefield for battle in turn.

The winner would not only rank higher on the list, but also receive great dao luck!

“It’s starting now!”

At the foot of the mountain, all eyes were fixed on the Luck Battlefield in the sky.

The Windspeaker Clan experts had already prepared a thick stack of golden news tree leaves in advance, intending to record the earth shaking battles that would soon break out on the Luck Battlefield!

“Exciting…” As Lin Xun gazed into the distance, his dark eyes shone brightly and battle spirit surged uncontrollably in his heart.
