Chapter 1682: Xi’s Might

Chaos and the stench of blood filled the air in Sunset Current Valley.

Toady, A’lu, Shaohao, Ruowu, and the group of True Saints marched forward unimpeded as they dealt with the ordinary Golden Crow experts like they were chopping vegetables.

Meanwhile, the big black bird no longer bothered with killing the enemies and was instead sweeping up the treasures in Sunset Current Valley like a gale.

From its manner, it was clear that the bird just wanted to dig three feet deep and find every single treasure there was to find.

Suddenly, the region trembled. A terrifying aura erupted from the area where the Sacred Fusang Tree was located and distorted the air as it warped the order of this heaven and earth.

“Oh? What kind of power is this? Sabotaging the heavenly laws, it’s like a Great Emperor is descending!”

“Damn it! Did the Golden Crow Clan use the power of the Emperor Dao?”

Toady’s group was all creeped out. Their spirits seemed to have fallen under the pressure of a godly mountain as they felt a terrifying power filling up the world around them. Their hearts and minds shook a little, showing signs of instability.

“Kill!” shouted Wu Hengtian who was standing in front of the Sacred Fusang Tree.

Immediately, a decree emerged in the void and diffused a brilliant light like a cosmic entity being born from chaos. The decree was permeated with the will power of a True Emperor.

Boom!

From the decree, a line of Emperor Dao's ancient texts swept out. Each character looked like it was made of pure divine gold, glowing brilliantly as it fused with the others into a divine golden saber that shot toward Lin Xun.

Lin Xun frowned. He then suddenly swung up the Abi Sword in his hand and slashed down in an unadorned movement.

Clang!

The Abi Sword and the golden saber clashed. Sparks erupted, and light rained down. The impact caused the whole area to tremble and Lin Xun’s arm to go numb. He swayed and staggered back a few steps.

“Hmph, merely a wisp of will power. I’d like to see how long you can keep it going,” snorted Lin Xun.

Raising the Abi Sword, he rushed forward without dodging and slashed out continuously.

Each slash was simple to the extreme, yet the sword qi they blasted out had the power to shake the world and destroy gods. The Abi Sword grew darker and shinier as he attacked, its clangs and buzzes rumbling through the nine layers of clouds.

Everyone gawked in shock.

The eyes of Wu Hengtian and his group almost fell out. The Emperor Decree had been left by their Demon Crow Great Emperor. The supreme aura of Emperor Dao branded within was enough to blast a quasi-Emperor to death.

But what was happening was that Lin Xun was fighting and colliding with it head-on. This was simply unbelievable!

“How can the will of a Great Emperor be something that an ant like you can resist? Die!” roared Wu Hengtian.

As he communicated with the decree through his mind, line upon line of Emperor Dao ancient texts manifested and transformed into a golden war spear, divine sword, great seals, and ancient pagodas…

They all fiercely soared toward Lin Xun!

This side of heaven and earth was thrown into turmoil as the terrifying Emperor Dao pressure surged. It was not an exaggeration to say that any random Saint who dared to approach would be instantly obliterated.

This degree of power was so terrifying that the law in this space seemed to be unable to withstand it and was showing signs of collapse.

In the face of this bombardment, Lin Xun’s reaction was simple.

He swung up the Abi Sword.

Then, he slashed it down viciously!

Each strike was simple to the extreme, but they were also sharp to the extreme.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Upon every collision, the deafening noises would shake many old monsters to the point their ears rang, their minds buzzed, and stars filled their visions. It was so tormenting that they almost coughed up blood.

However, what they found appalling and unacceptable was the fact Lin Xun hadn’t been immediately erased. Instead, he was glowing as he waved his sword. It was as if he was invincible and unstoppable with his sword drawn.

Everyone felt their scalp tingle.

Is he…still human?

He can even confront the will of a Great Emperor… Who would dare to believe this?

If the quasi-Emperors of this world were present, they probably would bow their heads in shame and admit that they were inferior, for even quasi-Emperors could not survive the onslaught of a Great Emperor’s Decree.

But a supreme Big Saint like Lin Xun, on the contrary, was fighting against it with a domineering momentum. Slashing and chopping his sword, his tactic was rough but carried a special kind of shocking might.

“Could it be that the person who is secretly helping him…is really a Great Emperor?”

“No! The heavenly laws of the Ancient Wasteland Domain can’t withstand the power of a Great Emperor. It is destined that there are no Emperor experts in this world!”

“Then what exactly is going on here?”

At this moment, Wu Fengzi, Wu Lingzi, and the other Saint-Kings all paled in horror and disbelief.

“DIE!” Wu Hengtian’s eyes were on the verge of dripping blood, his expression terrifyingly hideous.

Buzz!

In the sky, the Emperor Decree clattered and tumbled as countless ancient texts surged forth in radiance. Stirring and buzzing, they wove the willpower of the Emperor Dao.

Vaguely, a majestic figure could be seen emerging. Those deep, cold eyes and that world-dominating aura could only belong to a supreme lord.

Demon Crow Great Emperor!

In this instant, Wu Fengzi, Wu Lingzi, and the other old monsters were so excited that they almost cried.

They had not seen the majesty of their ancestor for too many years. And now, even though it was only a wisp of will power, it still stirred up emotions in their hearts.

Boom!

As the Demon Crow Great Emperor’s silhouette thrust a palm out, a sky-shattering power started spreading. It crushed all of Lin Xun’s attacks and sent him flying. Coughing up blood, he almost fell from the air.

“Good!” cheered the exhilarated Golden Crow old monsters.

Now that is the true power of a Great Emperor’s decree, powerful like a juggernaut!

“Finally, something noteworthy,” commented Lin Xun in the distance, his gaze indifferent.

He then suddenly shot up high, and from the Abi Sword in his hand, a pitch-black prison cell built upon thousands of interwoven sword qi swiftly emerged and dropped down heavily.

Looking from afar, it was as if the entrance to hell had been opened!

Rumble~

The world seemed close to collapsing, unable to withstand the supreme power emanating from this strike as it headed straight at the Demon Crow Great Emperor’s shadow.

It was like a dense stream of sword with a hellish intent, and their metallic rings shook the sky like stars exploding.

Bang!

The Demon Crow Great Emperor’s shadow trembled, seemingly having no idea on how to handle such an inferno of swords.

He roared coldly. His illusory figure flowed with an immortal aura and constantly glowed as he waved his fists to counter. Every punch was packed with the power to incinerate the world.

Lin Xun kept swinging his Abi Sword, the tip of which kept creating hellish prisons of sword qi. They were so heavy and chilling that the whole sky quivered nonstop.

The battlefield was in utter chaos and filled with destruction.

The onlookers’ minds trembled, and their eyes stung. None of them was able to peek at the detail of the fight at all as the power in it was too supreme!

Rumble~

The Demon Crow Emperor’s figure was shaking, but his Emperor might remained strong and vigorous. His attacks overturned the sky and earth and shattered everything in-between to pieces.

The huge Sunset Current Valley was shaking violently. Numerous ancient buildings collapsed, and countless mountains and trees turned to ash.

This was originally the residence of the Golden Crow Clan, a sacred secluded land famous in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, but now, there were only scenes of ruins and destruction everywhere!

Lin Xun’s expression grew colder and colder as he repeatedly swung his sword. Due to the rapidity of his movement, the Abi Sword had created innumerable sword shadows, and their auras all formed a timeless, hellish sea.

Finally, in the sound of explosion, the Demon Crow Great Emperor’s figure staggered backward and dimmed considerably.

Lin Xun did not stop slashing out his sword, creating one hell after another as if wanting to suppress everything.

The two constantly exchanged blows and suffered from the impacts. The noises erupting from their clashes were like the chanting of gods, striking fear into the hearts of the people present.

The Demon Crow Great Emperor’s silhouette became more and more blurry, and his aura kept dimming as if it was about to fizzle out.

Wu Fengzi’s and the others’ lips quivered.

Just how terrifying is that power to be to be able to fight against the Great Emperor’s will?

Boom!

Suddenly, Lin Xun erupted with an immortal light that illuminated the heavens. His aura grew even stronger as he put away the Abi Sword and made a grabbing motion with his fingers.

Such a simple action introduced the emergence of ten thousand layers of light, which then transformed into an oppressive dao platform that was too blazing to look at directly.

“Break!”

A word was uttered quietly, and then, the boundless blaze accompanied the hurling platform and enveloped the Demon Crow Great Emperor.

As the sound of collision resounded, the region was thrown into chaos. Nothing could be seen or perceived.

Everyone was shaken to the core. Their field of vision went blank. Their souls were so overwhelmed by the terrifying aura that they felt like they were falling into an abyss.

When the dust settled and the field returned to silence, neither the figure of the Demon Crow Great Emperor nor the Emperor Decree could be seen anywhere.

In the dead silence, Lin Xun stood tall like an immortal, cold and desolate with a might that looked down upon the world.

“The Great Emperor’s Decree…was destroyed?”

Several people muttered something similar in loss and disbelief.

“NOOO!” Wu Fengzi’s despairing and mournful shriek echoed around the field. He looked like he had gone insane.

“How is it possible, how is it possible…?!?!” The other old monsters were also on the verge of collapse. Unable to withstand this kind of blow, their minds were a mess. They looked like their parents had just dropped dead.

The Great Emperor’s Decree was Sunset Current Valley’s ultimate card and the strongest power that the Golden Crow Clan had at its disposal.

But it was completely destroyed. Their sky had collapsed!

It’s your turn now.

Lin Xun abruptly turned toward the Sacred Fusang Tree and transmitted this thought.

As soon as the words fell, the mysterious and obscure power shrouding him dissolved. Gone along with it was his cold and desolate temperament.

Lin Xun finally regained control over his body, but he was also in a trance.

Previously, the mysterious woman called Xi had divided a part of her power to help him fight, but he had been able to distinctly experience every detail of the battle.

That marvelous experience had allowed him to feel in advance the mysteries of a Great Emperor’s power in battle. It had been unimaginable.

It was also a rare and extremely valuable experience that would benefit him endlessly in his future cultivation.

Even though Wu Fengzi’s group were mourning, angry, and panicked, they still noticed the change in Lin Xun’s aura right away. At first, they were stunned.

Has the force that had helped this brat disappeared?

Immediately after, they all revealed a horrifyingly cold killing intent!

The Emperor’s Decree was gone, but likewise, the power that Lin Xun relied on had also disappeared. This was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.

But before they could make their move, the Sacred Fusang Tree suddenly rumbled. The ground where it was rooted suddenly exploded as a figure stormed out.

“Hahaha, finally! After so many, many years, this old man finally gets to see the light of day again!”

Along with the maniacal laughter, a terrifyingly ferocious aura spread out.

That figure was like an ancient fiend as he laughed up at the sky, voice shaking the world. His ferocity was just like back then, remaining unabated!
