That familiar power, that familiar aura, everything was so indescribably familiar...

When Lin Xun’s spirit returned to his original body, it felt like a dragon returning to the sea or a tiger being released back into the mountain forests. It was almost as if he had transformed into an entirely different person.

His vital energy roared, his eyes gleamed like flashing lightning, and that familiar power rumbled loudly within him. Every gesture he made exuded the air of a disdainful demon god.

Long time no see...

Lin Xun inwardly sighed.

Swish!

A ray of light shot suddenly toward him. It was a seven-inch-long flying blade whose slender, crystalline body flowed with radiant divine light.

"I have a weapon as well."

A beam of light shot from Lin Xun into the sky like a comet streaking between the sun and moon. It exuded an aura of incomparable sharpness as it collided with the flying blade.

It was the Broken Blade!

Clang!

Light splattered outward like water as the surrounding space exploded, causing the air flow to become turbulent.

A chip appeared on the flying blade as it buzzed erratically.

The thin man who was the flying blade’s wielder gasped. The blade was his life-bound Saint weapon that had been about to form its embryo spirit. Hence, it was all the more painful that it had been damaged in the clash.

Meanwhile, the purple-robed middle-aged man and others attacked from different directions.

Whoosh!

An ancient cyan thunder seal swirled in the air as it released a massive flood of lightning.

Moo!

A fiery-red divine bull phantasm charged with an earth-shaking roar, producing a silver sound wave that seemed almost corporeal.

Ch!

A golden war spear streaked across the air like a golden thunderbolt, exuding a formidable aura that seemed capable of piercing the sun and moon.

Three different attacks from three different quasi-Emperors were launched at Lin Xun from three different angles. In an instant, the entire zone was plunged into mayhem with the nearby mountains rapidly crumbling to dust one after another.

"Break!"

Lin Xun ignored everything and controlled the Broken Blade. It turned into a blur as it fiercely fought the cyan thunder seal.

Meanwhile, he executed the Great Abyss Heaven Devourer, causing an advanced Great Dao Field to rise around him.

Boom!

The ferociously approaching silver sound wave exploded as it was devoured by the abyss-like Great Dao Field while the fiery-red divine bull phantasm was knocked away by a tremendous force that nearly shattered it on impact.

At the same time, endless Taixuan sword qi rushed forth and each sword qi slashed at the golden war spear with incomparable precision.

Clang clang clang!

A series of ear-piercing collisions followed.

In the end, the golden war spear and its wielder were hacked away by the sword qi, causing him to nearly cough blood as he struggled to regain his footing.

"Again!"

Lin Xun's eyes gleamed brightly as he waved his sleeve.

A burst of radiance erupted as the power of the Broken Blade was pushed to the limit. Its aura grew so intense that even the surroundings seemed to fade away.

The purple-robed middle-aged man, who wielded the cyan thunder seal, suddenly pinched his fingers together as his pupils focused.

His hands looked like a blooming lotus flower as his ten fingers rapidly formed obscure seals. Cyan lightning poured from the thunder seal like torrential rain, exuding an aura of great terror and destruction.

Chla!

Although the cyan lightning was terrifying, it only managed to block the Broken Blade for a split second before it was forcefully scattered.

When the Broken Blade struck the cyan thunder seal, the purple-robed middle-aged man’s complexion paled as he retreated several steps in horror.

"To think my Dipper Heaven Seal empowered by a secret art failed to stop the attack of a supreme Saint-King. How can he possess such frightening power?"

The purple-robed middle-aged man was a quasi-Emperor old monster, an existence who wielded power that was almighty as the sea and stood above all Saints. Even fellow quasi-Emperors would have trouble with his earlier attack. How could he not feel shocked that Lin Xun had neutralized it?

However, the attack had bought valuable time for the others.

"Go!"

The thin man who was the flying blade’s wielder brandished a snow-white battle blade as he leaped into the air and slashed.

The blade drew a dazzling arc in the air.

It was almost impossible to describe how domineering of an attack it was. The blazing blade qi stretched eight thousand feet in an instant, resembling a flowing river of stars.

It felt as if the world was split into two as a terrifying killing intent heralded the attack’s arrival.

It was a vivid display of the domineering nature of the blade!

A glorious blade that could draw in the very stars!

It was the pinnacle of the thin man's blade cultivation which had been steadily honed for thousands of years and was infused with every iota of his cultivation.

The blade was the dao and the dao was the blade!

In the face of such blade intent, any other Saint’s mind would have already been torn to shreds as they fell into despair.

"Hmph!”

Endless dao light converged toward Lin Xun’s fist as he raised it and punched.

Boom!

Heaven and the earth shook and the sun and moon dimmed.

Intense fist force that seemed capable of devouring everything clashed with the blade.

It was a punch infused with the combined power of the Great Endless Devour Scripture and the Great Dao Field!

The eight-thousand-foot-long blade qi crumbled inch by inch as it was crushed by Lin Xun’s fist force.

The thin man's hands violently jerked back, nearly losing his grip on the blade. It felt as if he had swung at an approaching mountain.

"How is he so strong?!”

The thin man was inwardly horrified.

The quasi-Emperor thin man couldn’t believe how heaven-defying Lin Xun’s combat power was despite being an entire greater cultivation stage lower.

Rumble!

The blade qi was completely crushed by the fist force. However, Lin Xun's fist force also dissipated as a tsunami-like wave of blade qi and fist force unfurled in the aftermath. It was as if a hurricane had passed through the area, leaving shattered rocks, fallen trees, and giant dust clouds in its wake.

Lin Xun staggered slightly from the clash but was clearly still unscathed!

None of the quasi-Emperors present could remain calm at this scene. The young man had killed two quasi-Emperors on their side, then faced four of them without falling into a disadvantage. Such combat power was simply inconceivable!

Helian Qi, who was watching from a distance, felt his scalp tingle as his expression drastically changed.

Compared to what was seen in the Cloud State Dao Debate, Jin Duyi was like a completely different person. He was so terrifying that it felt almost suffocating to watch.

"Hurry up and use your full power!"

The purple-robed middle-aged man roared as he channeled more power into the cyan thunder seal, causing its aura to rise.

Omm!

The golden war spear wielder began to burn, making him resemble a giant golden sun as he rushed over from afar.

At another corner, someone summoned a beautiful spirit bead. The bead fell from the sky with the weight of a million catties, blazing with astonishing dao light.

Another expert pointed in the air and summoned a Great Dao Field that transformed into a world of fire. Thousands of flaming lotus flowers swayed within it, birthing flaming phantasms of birds, beasts, spirits, and ghosts...

Fire Lotus World!

"Excellent."

Lin Xun took a deep breath as his fighting spirit fully ignited.

The surging power in the body was pushed to its peak as he seemed to transform into an abyss that spanned the entirety of heaven and earth.

"Break!"

He lunged forward.

A Great Dao Field that resembled a mix between a furnace and an abyss spread, covering the sky and the sun. Various dao powers gathered within in the likeness of the formless primal chaos of the beginning.

The powers of the cyan thunder seal, the golden war spear, the dazzling spirit bead, and the fire lotus world were engulfed by the abyss-like Dao Field.

It was as if a sky devouring beast had taken a huge bite out of the area.

Rumble!

The spirit bead wailed as it turned dim and fell. Its quasi-Emperor wielder groaned as he hurriedly retreated, causing space to shake with each step.

Almost immediately after, the golden war spear was knocked away as its quasi-Emperor wielder revealed a horrified expression.

The surging cyan lightning was annihilated into nothingness. The purple-robed middle-aged man roared in anger as his qi and blood churned erratically.

Only the fire lotus world remained. Although it valiantly tried to resist, the thousands of fire lotuses and flaming phantasms within it were clearly withering away at an alarming rate.

The quasi-Emperor who had summoned the fire lotus world repeatedly coughed blood.

The power of that single attack was simply beyond imagination.

Everyone’s expressions changed in unison.

However, that wasn’t all. The Broken Blade shot forth, taking the opportunity to slash at one of the quasi-Emperors and nearly caused him to fall from the air.

In the distance, Helian Qi gasped. It felt as if his soul was about to leave his body.

It was one against four yet Jin Duyi had the clear upper hand!

One must be reminded that these were four quasi-Emperors, while he was merely a supreme Saint-King...

"Everyone, if he doesn't die today, he will forever be our greatest worry!"

Ashen-faced, the purple-robed middle-aged man spoke with a noticeable pause between each word, "We must kill him at all cost!"

The others solemnly nodded.

Four monstrous killing intents rushed into the sky. They stirred up the nine heavens and ten lands and caused the surrounding world to wail in agony.

Meanwhile, fighting spirit burned like raging fire in Lin Xun’s black, abyss-like eyes.

It was the first time he has fought against a group of quasi-Emperors. Although he felt greatly pressured, it also made his blood boil with excitement.

It had been a long time since he had experienced such a release!

Boom!

The four quasi-Emperors moved together, either summoning their ultimate treasures, executing their peerless dao arts, or displaying the power of their Great Dao Fields. Their combined might felt like an overwhelming disaster that was capable of smashing the heavens, overturning the world, and snuffing out the sun and moon.

Four distinct powers that could only belong to quasi-Emperors smashed downward with an aura of unquestionable invincibility.

At that moment, even Lin Xun couldn’t help but reveal a grave expression.

Crash~

Power roared in his body like a mighty river, his internal organs thunderously throttled, and all his internal and external energies erupted as if they were ablaze.

"Open!"

Light burst from Lin Xun's eyes as he pushed his Great Dao Field to the extreme and channeled it into a single punch.

All of his power was infused into the punch. When it was released, the sky and land seemed to fracture as an image of everything collapsing momentarily flitted across everyone’s minds.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A dreadful collision resounded across heaven and earth as an endless flood of dao light swept outwards.

From afar, it looked as if reality itself was swaying dangerously and on the verge of collapsing.

A bizarre scene soon followed.

Amidst the endless torrent of light, a single fist force emerged, destroying dao arts, treasures, law power...and everything else in its path.

When the dust finally settled, the four quasi-Emperors had grave expressions filled with disbelief.

It was because their combined all-out offensive had been forcibly neutralized by a single punch!

"My god..."

In the distance, Helian Qi seemed to deflate like a balloon. Although he was unable to properly see what had occurred earlier, his shaken heart could no longer maintain itself at the sight of Lin Xun’s intact and completely fine figure.

He was simply too strong!

The purple-robed middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Jin Duyi, you are indeed a top-class heaven-defying individual. In fact, I dare say that even the core disciples of the Great Six Courts are not your equals. However, how many times can you block our all-out attack?

One of the quasi-Emperors coldly threatened, "You managed to kill our two companions previously because you caught us off guard. But now, it is impossible for you to achieve the same feat. Stand down and come with us. There might be a chance for you to keep your life."

"Heh heh.”

Lin Xun revealed a disdainful expression. He gently stretched his body as the prideful aura of an invincible existence spread from him.

"How many of you will survive if I go all-out?"

His words echoed across the sky.

"Stubborn fool!"

The thin man coldly snorted.

"Is that so?"

Lin Xun moved so quickly that it was almost impossible for their eyes to keep up.

In that moment, he had finally decided to stop holding back. The massacre had begun.

Going all-out and deciding to kill were fundamentally different in mindset and intent.

Everyone soon realized how terrifying Lin Xun was when he decided to kill.

Swish!

He abruptly appeared in front of the thin man.

The thin man instinctively swung his blade, unleashing a slash of astonishing divine light and unparalleled law power.

Lin Xun didn't dodge or avoid it. Instead, his Great Dao Field rose around him, engulfing the thin man and his slash.

Inside the Great Dao Field, the thin man's slash seemed to fall into an endless abyss and silently disappeared without a single ripple.

Meanwhile, he was suppressed by a supreme force that felt as if he was endlessly falling into a bottomless abyss. It made him feel a sensation of unexplainable powerlessness.

Crap!

He frantically struggled to no avail. All of the power he released was silently devoured and annihilated...

Without giving him any time to react, the abyss-like Great Dao Field transformed into a chaotic furnace that began to aggressively burn away his existence.

He finally felt fear and shrieked, “No——!”

His flesh and blood started to melt and disappear inch by inch as his spirit rapidly evaporated.

In a matter of moments, the thin man was completely erased.

Rumble~

When Lin Xun withdrew the Great Dao Field, the quasi-Emperor thin man had vanished without a trace.

"This..."

"How is that possible!?"

The purple-robed man and the two remaining quasi-Emperors felt a chill in their hearts as their eyes bulged from their sockets.

Rumble!

They immediately cast aside all reservations and hesitation and desperately attacked with all their might.

This time, Lin Xun didn’t take them on directly. In the previous clash, he had realized that his current strength wasn’t sufficient to overpower and kill several quasi-Emperors in a direct clash of power.

However, as long as it wasn’t a direct clash, it wasn’t difficult to dispatch them one by one.

Swish!

He moved so quickly that only his flickering figure could be seen dodging and weaving through their onslaught.

Moments later, Lin Xun finally found an opening and suddenly launched himself forward, appearing in front of the golden war spear quasi-Emperor.

A crystalline jade bottle appeared in his hand with a strange obscure haze flowing from its mouth.

The opening was aimed at the opponent.
