Chapter 1713: Alone Against Enemies From All Sides

A furnace that had once produced nine Emperor weapons in one go!

It was an incredulous feat. No one would dare to even imagine how something like that could be achieved by a furnace.

Now, a part of that very furnace was currently in Lin Xun's hand!

Meanwhile, Lin Xun finally realized that Treasure Refining Land was a product of the furnace.

The Kunlun divine flames were the extremely weakened remnant flames that once burned in the furnace.

The Treasure Refining Dao Qi were likewise the remnant aura of the furnace that possessed the magical ability to improve a treasure's quality!

These realizations made Lin Xun grow increasingly shocked.

A long, long time ago, the furnace must have suffered some kind of terrible damage, causing it to transform into Treasure Refining Land that was currently viewed as a 'land of fortune' by countless cultivators.

"I wonder what happened to the nine Emperor weapons produced by the furnace. Did they survive the tribulation? If they did, where did they go?"

Lin Xun took a deep breath and pushed down the burning questions in his heart.

The Kunlun Dominion was filled with numerous unknown secrets and taboos. It was pure luck that Lin Xun had somehow stumbled upon a small corner of the truth behind Treasure Refining Land.

He kept the blackish copper piece in the Dao Endless Pagoda.

Since it was once a part of the extremely mysterious furnace, it might have some other use in the future.

Without further ado, Lin Xun turned to the dao scripture Treasure Refining Dao Qi.

Everyone's attention was on Lin Xun. However, each of them revealed different expressions and harbored varying thoughts.

Lin Xun finally made his move. He reached out to seize the dao scripture.

Rumble!

At almost the same moment, the giant inverted mountain abruptly collapsed. Rocks erupted and the flames scattered, including the purple flame avians.

"The chance is here!"

Many experts' eyes brightened.

"Kill!"

The powerhouse experts such as Tao Jianxing and Lu Ang immediately rushed toward Lin Xun.

Boom~

For a time, heaven and earth seemed to fall into turmoil as a dreadful murderous aura enveloped the area.

The battle started so quickly because no one planned on giving Lin Xun any chance to escape!

𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Lin Xun, surrender the Treasure Refining Dao Qi. I promise I won't make things difficult for you!"

Tao Jianxing was the first to reach. The pure-blooded descendant of the Taowu Battle Clan was full of murderous intent and arrogance.

He pulled out a double crescent halberd as he spoke. The halberd swung across the air, stirring up a mighty wave composed of tens of millions of Dao Laws.

Clang!

Lin Xun met the attack with the Broken Blade. The two weapons collided head-on like two erupting volcanoes, creating terrifying aftershocks.

"You lack the skills to compete yet you dare to try to rob me after I obtained the treasure. Do you think I'm an easy target?"

Lin Xun's black eyes gleamed coldly.

"So what if I think so?"

Tao Jianxing was expressionless. He swung the double crescent halberd like a brave hero charging into the fray, displaying tyrannical power that would never bend to anyone.

The surrounding space began to distort and even the clouds in the sky were scattered.

"Heh heh."

Lin Xun chuckled as his smile grew increasingly chilling. "I've yet to eat the meat of a Taowu. I wonder what it'll taste like..."

He activated the Great Endless Devour Scripture, causing him to glow brightly. The image of a mighty abyss emerged as his aura surged to its peak.

The Broken Blade streaked across the air like a silver river.

Heavenly Yuan Slash!

Tao Jianxing was struck and sent hurtling through the sky. The impact was so big that he nearly lost his grip on the double-crescent halberd.

Blood spurted from his nose and mouth as horror rose within him. He was shocked by Lin Xun's terrifying strength.

One must know that he had always been very confident in his cultivation and was famously talented among his peers in the Ancient Nebula Road.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be ranked 77th on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings.

Despite this, he was forced back after a single exchange like Lu Ang!

"You dare to clamor about me being an easy target with such pathetic ability? Is the entire Taowu Battle Clan filled with braggarts like you?"

Lin Xun laughed loudly. His black hair fluttered as he exuded an aura of invincibility.

"Kill!"

Lu Ang and several other formidable experts arrived at this moment and attacked Lin Xun from different directions.

For a time, the surroundings were filled with interweaving treasure lights and torrential dao arts.

All of these individuals were well-known experts of the Supreme Big Saint Stage who not only possessed strong backgrounds but also powerful foundations.

The combined assault of such a group would terrify any of their peers.

Lin Xun's expression turned grave.

He didn't dare show any openings as he fought back with all his might. The energy in him boiled and circulated like a mighty furnace while his vital energies surged like dragons.

In this moment, everyone suddenly felt that Lin Xun had become a great abyss that stretched infinitely as it devoured heaven and earth.

Boom!

Heaven and earth seemed to explode as the sun and moon dimmed and the sky and land were flipped upside down.

Lin Xun moved unhindered as the Broken Blade flashed and slashed. With the Abi Sword and Yuantu Sword in each hand, he fought alone against the enemies!

The most frightening part was that no one could suppress him.

This made several experts' expressions change.

They had heard about Lin Xun killing Yan Chunjun and witnessed how the former defeated Lu Ang and Tao Jianxing.

However, no one expected Lin Xun to be capable of displaying such unyielding might even while surrounded.

It was completely out of everyone's expectations!

In the distance, some spectators were utterly stupefied.

"Isn't Lin Xun too strong?"

"Did he really come from the Ancient Wasteland Domain? This feels so unreal..."

"As the saying goes, only someone with great ability will dare to cross a raging river. How can someone who killed Yan Chunjun possibly be ordinary?"

Numerous discussions followed.

Some experts who had been planning to join the fray began to hesitate. Getting involved at this juncture was simply no different from seeking death.

However, there were also experts who were tempted to make a move. They felt that while Lin Xun appeared to be doing well while surrounded, he was no longer as big of a threat as before.

Just as the anxious A'hu was about to help, she received a transmission from Lin Xun, telling her to stay and watch for now. It wouldn't be too late to move if things became dangerous.

A'hu briefly contemplated before agreeing.

She understood that while rushing in now to help Lin Xun might help alleviate some pressure, she would instead become a burden if she was also surrounded and fell into a dangerous situation.

It was better to observe for now and move when the right opportunity revealed itself!

Boom!

The battle grew increasingly intense. The area was already swallowed by torrential raging dao light as various terrifying Law Powers spread, painting a frightening scene of destruction.

Lin Xun was under a great deal of pressure.

His opponents were all extraordinary experts. Although he was confident in defeating them one-on-one, it was a completely different matter when they all ganged up on him.

"Kill!"

Lu Ang, Tao Jianxing, and the others attacked with their full power, holding nothing back. They viewed Lin Xun as prey to be killed so that they could seize his treasures.

After all, they knew that Lin Xun was not only in possession of the dao scripture Treasure Refining Dao Qi but also the Flying Immortal Tablet!

Bang!

Lin Xun soon began to sustain injuries. His shoulder was cut open by a stream of sword qi, revealing white bone amidst a splatter of blood and flesh.

Although the injury recovered in the blink of an eye, it showed just how brutal it was to be ganged up on.

It was the first time since reaching the Supreme Big Saint Stage that Lin Xun had experienced such serious danger and the first time he had been wounded!

Upon seeing this, Tao Jianxing, Lu Ang, and the others grew increasingly aggressive and ferocious like sharks that had smelt blood.

Moreover, more and more experts joined in as time passed, putting more and more pressure on Lin Xun.

Despite this, Lin Xun remained unafraid!

His black, abyss-like eyes burned with lava-like fighting spirit as his power was mobilized and pushed to the limit.

The Great Endless Devour Scripture, the Sacred Combat Art, Yazi's Rage, Extreme Absolute, and other secret arts continued to boost and strengthen his power.

Boom!

In the end, Lin Xun's every breath felt like the raging wind and thunder as his aura stirred the energies in the air. He was bathed in a flowing fiery clear glow as he moved through the air like a great abyss that could blot the skies.

His figure felt immeasurable and his domineering air was without equal!

The attackers' hearts trembled in amazement. What kind of heaven-defying monster was this? To think that he was already so strong with initial Supreme Big Saint Stage cultivation. How much stronger would he become if he were allowed to mature?

Even the top fifty rankers of the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings didn't possess such foundations!

Swish!

An illusory sword intent suddenly arrived from far away. Sword aura rose like a dragon, pulsing with power that could collapse the sky.

Panwu Unhindered Sword Intent!

The Panwu Dao Court disciple, Wen Qingxue, had finally made her move. The beautiful fairy struck with overwhelming might the moment she acted.

Chla!

Although Lin Xun managed to block the actual sword, he was still hit by the sword qi. A bloody gash was torn open on his chest, causing his complexion to pale.

Expressionless, his cold eyes glanced at Wen Qingxue.

"Kill!"

Lu Ang, Tao Jianxing, and others immediately took advantage and intensified their assault.

The observers in the distance could tell that Lin Xun had lost the momentum and was in a dangerous predicament.

A'hu's heart tensed. A faint gourd pattern could be seen on her palm, showing that she had made preparations to try and save Lin Xun.

Plop!

On the battlefield, a large seal hit Lin Xun from behind, causing him to stagger as he coughed blood.

"Die!"

Lu Ang revealed a sinister expression as he swung his sword to take advantage of the opening.

At this moment, however, the corners of Lin Xun's lips curled in ridicule. There was an amused look in his eyes as if he was looking at prey voluntarily stepping into his arms.

Eh?

Lu Ang's heart fluttered inexplicably.

Lin Xun suddenly sprung up as a bottle appeared in his hand and unleashed Thirty-Three Heavy Swords!

Each heavy sword was composed of 18,000 sword qi.

As such, it felt as if a sea of sword qi had appeared out of nowhere, covering the sky and land!
