Huangfu Shaonong’s hair was disheveled, and his face was horribly livid.

He had also realized that it was impossible for him to escape, so instead, he started putting his mind to igniting an unprecedented battle spirit in himself.

This was the quality of a supreme figure!

“Lin Xun, you’ve forced my hand. Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!” Huangfu Shaonong took a deep breath and formed his Great Dao Field.

Boom!

A hazy, blue world emerged, its vast territory accommodating mountains and rivers. Every speck of sand, every stone, blade of grass, and tree that grew within presented an aura that was as sharp as a sword.

Blue Sky Sword Domain!

As Huangfu Shaonong attacked, countless sword qi descended like a blue curtain.

In addition to this, he also summoned the violet cauldron of seventy-two swords and blasted it at Lin Xun.

“Drag me down with you? You think too highly of yourself,” mocked Lin Xun.

His Primal Chaos Great Dao Field emitted an explosive sound as it transformed into an abyss. Like a whale swallowing water, it devoured the ocean of sword qi.

The two Great Dao Fields collided in the air like two worlds trying to conquer each other. One was home to infinite and volatile sword qi, while the other was swallowing heaven and devouring earth. Their clash was a scene that amazed history.

Meanwhile, the Dao Lifeless Seal was steadily restraining the violet cauldron and its flying swords!

Rumble~

A few moments later, the vast Blue Sky Sword Domain, after having been continuously engulfed by Primal Chaos Great Dao Field, crumbled into a rain of light.

Huangfu Shaonong paled, and his pupils dilated.

A Great Dao Field was the embodiment of one’s entire cultivation. Therefore, the reality right now was that in this one-on-one, direct confrontation, or to be exact, in this battle of dao, he had been utterly defeated!

“No wonder Elder Taishu Hong announced that he would update the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings after this Dao Debate Assembly. He has probably noticed that trash like you doesn’t deserve second place at all,” said Lin Xun blandly.

“Even if it’ll be updated, there will definitely be no place for you, Lin Xun. Don't forget that you're a remnant of Fangchun Mountain!” retorted Huangfu Shaonong icily.

As he talked, he once again struck out with his dao arts. He was like a cornered beast, knowing that it was impossible to rebuff Lin Xun but still refusing to give up.

This was a bit of a surprise to Lin Xun.

However, it made sense after he thought about it. Even though Huangfu Shaonong was no match for him, he was still an exceptional, dazzling talent in their generation. Such a character naturally would not yield easily.

Boom!

Lin Xun was not polite, and his strikes were even less merciful. He tightly suppressed Huangfu Shaonong, beating the latter into a passive state where he couldn’t lift his head at all.

In mere moments, Huangfu Shaonong was already coughing up blood nonstop and ridden with injuries from inside out. The blood from them dyed his clothes red.

Lin Xun suddenly said, “If you still have a treasure like the Emperor Decree on you, then you might be able to struggle longer.”

Being reminded by his enemy so kindly, an indescribable sense of shame and anger flooded Huangfu Shaonong's heart.

“Lin Xun, you are too much!” he roared in a state of madness. Then, completely disregarding his life, he launched a barrage of attacks.

If he had another Emperor Decree, then why would he be fighting for his life at the moment? He would have already used it to kill this enemy!

“I'm too much? How could it have come to this point if you lot hadn't overestimated yourselves and sought your own death?” snorted Lin Xun.

Shortly after, he executed Bi’an Stamp and smashed Huangfu Shaonong with it. The latter fell hard from the sky.

Bang!

Dust filled the air as a human-shaped pit appeared in the ground, in which Huangfu Shaonong lay. He was drenched in blood, and his muscles twitched viciously from the pain.

This nebula-renowned genius who was second on the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings was now lying flat like a dead dog, miserable to the extreme.

If any other Heaven and Earth Dao Court disciples were to see this, then they probably wouldn't believe that this person was the number one core disciple of their sect.

“I…don't accept this… I…have not lost…ah…”

A hoarse and low voice came out from Huangfu Shaonong’s mouth like the hissing of a dying wild beast. It was filled with unwillingness, rage, and hatred.

“And why don’t you?” Lin Xun drifted to the ground and looked down at the man, his expression neither happy or sad.

Abruptly, Huangfu Shaonong used every last drop of his strength to turn around and stressed every word, “Being defeated at the hands of a Fangchun remnant like you…even if I die…I’ll never admit that I’ve lost!!”

Lin Xun was stunned. Such unwillingness, such unacceptance just because he was a member of Fangchun Mountain?

This seemed truly unreasonable.

However, Lin Xun could see clearly that this was the Heaven and Earth Dao Court's resentment toward Fangchun Mountain. They…really hated Fangchun Mountain to the bone!

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xun categorically said, “Don't worry, sooner or later, I, Lin Xun, will beat your Heaven and Earth Dao Court up until you have no choice but to accept it!”

Poof!

A strand of Taixuan sword qi swept out and reaped a bloody head.

The number one disciple of Heaven and Earth Dao Court, the number two expert on the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings, and nebula-famous genius, had fallen into oblivion.

In the void, the violet cauldron of seventy-two swords wailed as it was completely suppressed by the Dao Lifeless Seal.

“You dug your own grave so you died in it. So what if you have a great reputation and influence? When you die, everything comes to naught.”

Lin Xun shook his head, his heart devoid of any ripples as killing Huangfu Shaonong also couldn't make him feel much at all.

Next, he collected the loot and turned to leave.

In this battle, even though he had yet to kill the Heaven and Earth Dao Court camp to the very last member, after careful calculation, he had taken down at least ten of them.

Even their leader and pillar, Huangfu Shaonong, was included!

It was already a great feat, considering that there were only seventeen Heaven and Earth Dao Court disciples in total who had entered the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone this time.

“Time to head to Mount Heedless…” The map of the mountain was pulled up in Lin Xun's mind as he made this decision.

However, he was not in a hurry.

It had only been less than half a month since the opening of the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone. Lin Xun didn't believe that anyone would be able to seize that chaos treasure at Mount Heedless in such a short period of time.

……

The Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone was full of unknowns. No one knew exactly how big it was, and no one knew just how many perils lurked here.

The one hundred and eight experts who had entered the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone this time were distributed in different areas. As a result, the fact that Lin Xun had decimated Huangfu Shaonong and his other ten companions hadn’t reached the ears of the others so quickly.

However, there was no doubt that with the passage of time, such earth-shattering news was bound to spread.

Just like how the news of Kong Zhao and his group being exterminated by Lin Xun the other day had only become known to the other areas now.

Regardless, the first people to learn about it were outside the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone.

Next to Mount of Clouds.

The atmosphere was oppressive and heavy. The eyes of the Emperor crowd flickered as a touch of shock lingered in their hearts and could not be dispelled.

Just a moment ago, the life lamps on the desk in front of Emperor Fire Spirit had gone out one after another. This meant the core disciples of Heaven and Earth Dao Court were encountering a horrendous calamity!When the life lamp representing Huangfu Shaonong also went out, the expressions of all the Emperors present drastically changed in shock!

No one could imagine what had actually happened in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone, but this kind of casualty rate was enough to shake anyone!

As for Emperor Fire Spirit, her face was already so gloomy that it could rain. Her jaw was tightly clenched, and she wouldn’t utter a word. Anyone could see that she was in an unprecedented rage.

This was normal. Who wouldn’t fly into a rage when their disciples suffered such a disaster?

Especially when one of them was Huangfu Shaonong…

He was an exceptional talent with an extremely bright future ahead of him. It was nothing but a surprise that he had died prematurely in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone!

Many Emperor experts recalled what had happened a few days ago when the disciples of Primordial Dao Court had also undergone something similar. Including Kong Zhao, all twelve of them had been wiped out, which many Emperors had found inconceivable.

𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor then, like Emperor Fire Spirit at this moment, had also seethed with fury and almost gone on a rampage several times.

“This is definitely the work of the same person!” Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor’s voice broke the deathly silent and oppressive atmosphere.

His expression was grim and his voice cold, “Other than Jin Duyi, I really can't think of any other young cultivator in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone who dares to be so brazen and reckless!”

The expressions of the other Emperors became unnatural.

Jin Duyi!

If it’s really him, then could it be that he has noticed something, and that’s why he has started to act without scruples?

“No matter if it's him or not, when the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone draws to a close, I will definitely avenge my dead disciples!” declared Emperor Fire Spirit in a heavy voice, her killing intent overflowing.

Taishu Hong watched this quietly. In his heart, he couldn’t help lamenting:

If it wasn’t for the orders of your Heaven and Earth, Primordial, and Panwu Dao Courts to deal with Jin Duyi, then how could such a tragic thing have happened?

However, he could not say this out loud.

No matter who would ultimately have the last laugh in this storm, his Mythical Huang Dao Court would not get involved.

……

In the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone.

“Impressive. Wiping out all twelve members of Primordial Dao Court all by himself, Jin Duyi is far stronger than we thought.”

The exclamation came from a surprised Yue Ruhuo, who was sitting neatly on a rock in a flame-covered canyon.

Next to him, Zhi Bai stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes profound, “No, he's Lin Xun, the one who made a big mess of the Kunlun Dominion and seized the fortune related to becoming an Emperor and an Ancestor!”

Yue Ruhuo pondered, “It can't be that…you also desire that fortune in his possession?”

“Who doesn’t?” Zhi Bai was indifferent. “We don’t have to worry about becoming quasi-Emperors now that we’ve reached the very peak of the Supreme Saint-King Stage. However, when it comes to the threshold of the Emperor Stage, who dares to claim that they will definitely be able to certify their Emperor dao?”

Yue Ruhuo laughed, “If so, are you not scared of making a troublesome enemy out of Lin Xun?”

Zhi Bai leisurely said, “On the quest for the great dao, being able to find one or two soul mates can be considered a great fortune, but likewise, being able to find a rival to compete with means your path won’t be lonely.”

“Looks like you’re seriously interested.” Yue Ruhuo stroked his chin. “Then when do you plan to make your move?”

Zhi Bai thought for a moment and replied, “How about when he arrives at Mount Heedless?”

Yue Ruhuo remained silent for a moment before letting out a soft sigh, “You won't listen even if I advise you against it, so why ask me?”

Zhi Bai instantly smiled, “Then it's decided!”
