Wen Yu’s death struck everyone like a thunderbolt.

From that moment on, Lin Xun, who had been outnumbered and repeatedly wounded, launched an unstoppable counterattack.

Blood-soaked, he continued to fight like his body was on fire, and his fighting spirit blazed so strong that it frightened the world.

Watching his lone figure slay enemies left and right from afar, Xuan Jiuyin and Ling Kezi felt an indescribable wave of shock sweep over them.

Before the Gate of Ruination, countless heroes were all shining brightly, such as Mi Wuya and Jing Tiannan. They represented the strongest group of supreme Saint-Kings in the world.

They all had achieved magnificent feats and had dazzling reputations. Every one of them was a remarkable talented hero feared throughout the starry sky.

However, so far, they had failed to defeat Lin Xun despite joining forces!

Unbelievable!

It should be noted that from the very beginning, Lin Xun solely occupied the platform and fought anyone who came in his way. Heroes fell at his feet and blood flowed endlessly.

Just moments ago, he was left terribly wounded, dripping with blood and in a critical condition, almost to the point that he could not even raise his head.

Now, he was counterattacking again!

His tenacious and tyrannical fighting style was comparable to that of an invincible god of legend. Who would not be aghast by such a fearsome and unyielding fighter?

How many people in the world could carve a bloody path out of a battlefield?

Rumble!

The battlefield roared and boomed constantly as if thunder was raging in the nine heavens. Beams of dao light danced endlessly as Emperor-grade treasures and weapons unleashed chaos and destruction across the battlefield.

“Ah—”

Following a tragic scream, the body of a core disciple from All-Demon Dao Court exploded to pieces.

His death was the most unjust, because he had suddenly got swept into the fierce fight between Mi Wuya and Lin Xun, and was immediately killed by the shockwaves of the violent clash.

This was terrifying!

It should be noted that he was also an authority figure in the outside world. But in this battle, he seemed to have overestimated his own strength.

Bang!

Not long after that, Mi Wuya staggered back.

Lin Xun also coughed up blood, but he still took a powerful step forward and reached nine feet of the Gate of Ruination!

“Kill him!”

“Stop him!”

Roars rang out as the heroes became frustrated and anxious. Even under the encirclement, Lin Xun was closing in on the Gate of Ruination. They were gripped by a sense of urgency, pushing them to act.

“You guys…can’t stop me…”

Lin Xun’s hoarse voice sounded. His hair was disheveled, his face was pale, almost to the point of being transparent, and blood was constantly oozing from the horrible wounds all over his body.

Even so, his fighting spirit never once wavered or weakened. Instead, it grew stronger and more determined. His will was so firm that it seemed as if it would never be swayed at all!

“Human strength is limited, Brother Lin, if you continue to be so stubborn, even if you don’t die in this battle, you will end up with a damaged cultivation base. Why do you have to do this?” Mi Wuya sighed.

At the same time, he was secretly terrified. He had not held back at all in the battle, but even so, Lin Xun still managed to block his attacks again and again.

How could he be so powerful?

Mi Wuya could not understand.

As the battle progressed to this point, he came to discover that the only person he viewed as a kindred spirit actually had many things that he did not know about him.

His strength lay not only in the power of the grand daos he controlled, but his state of mind and will were also equally as terrifying!

“I haven’t reached the end of the line yet.” Lin Xun paused for a moment, “Brother Mi, if you don’t fight with all your strength now, you will regret it later!”

Boom!

He resumed fighting. His eyes glowed with determination, blazing with a fierce fighting spirit.

Mi Wuya drew a deep breath, and qi wildly circulated his body. He exuded an aura of unprecedented resolve.

“I…will let you lose with dignity!”

There was no longer any wavering in his heart. He regarded Lin Xun as a close friend but also the only formidable enemy he had ever faced in his life!

Everyone sensed that Mi Wuya had changed. At this moment, he seemed to possess an extraordinary and invincible presence!

It was also at this time that they truly realized how terrifying Mi Wuya was, the person who had dominated the top of the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings for six hundred years!

“Lose?”

A smile graced Lin Xun’s pale lips.

He had fought across the starry sky to this day, had he ever been defeated?

“Within this nine feet of land, we shall duel to the death. My dao...will be undefeatable here...”

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xun ran his eyes across the opponents on the battlefield. All distracting thoughts were discarded from his mind at this moment.

His mind became empty and clear, without self and without form.

The fatigue and excruciating pain from the wounds all over his body...all seemed to have faded away.

Boom!

In the fierce fight, a boundlessly terrifying aura emanated from Lin Xun.

His cold eyes appeared ignited, and his body seemed to burn with intensity. Every movement he made seemed to radiate the power to strike heaven and earth.

The nearby void shattered with a piercing wail.

“He…”

A wave of cold fear washed over many people.

“Impossible! He is already so badly injured, so how could his power suddenly grow so much stronger?”

Someone panicked and couldn’t believe what he saw.

𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

This scene was indeed unbelievable. Everyone could see that Lin Xun was riddled with injuries and physically exhausted, and looked like he would be defeated at any moment.

Strangely, even in such a critical situation, his aura changed once again, becoming even stronger and more terrifying than before!

His fighting spirit that was as fierce as the burning sun made many experts feel uneasy, and their expressions changed dramatically.

“Are you unleashing everything that you have as a final desperate struggle…”

Jing Tiannan smiled coldly. He reckoned that Lin Xun was just desperately trying to defy death and his strength must have reached its limit.

Ling Hongzhuang sighed.

To be able to survive until now despite being encircled by so many peerless figures, Lin Xun had already exhibited signs of being invincible among those of the same cultivation stage!

It would be a pity if he was killed.

“He can only blame himself for being so greedy and refusing to give up. How is that different from seeking his own death?”

Many peoples’ expressions were ice-cold.

Although Lin Xun exuded a terrifyingly powerful aura, it was perceived as a final burst of energy before his demise.

Mi Wuya’s eyes were clear and without a ripple of emotion. He had pushed his strength to its extreme and would show no mercy in his attacks.

Just as he said, fighting with everything he got was perhaps the greatest show of respect he could give to his ‘kindred spirit’!

“Is this really a final desperate struggle?” Xuan Jiuyin muttered in a daze, his expression changing indefinitely.

He could not tell, but he was extremely nervous and tense.

“Rise from slaying, attain enlightenment in destruction, aim to become invincible of them all, and subdue all enemies in the same cultivation stage...” Ling Kezi murmured with a distracted look on his face.

Boom!

On the battlefield, Lin Xun was fighting like a madman, qi rapidly swirling around him.

He had discarded all distractions in his mind, completely forgotten himself, and immersed his body and mind in an absolute, pure combat state.

Kill!

Emperor-grade treasures and weapons raged around him, illuminating the nine heavens. His mighty power seemed to have become even more terrifying than before.

Kill!

His body seemed to be ignited as he forged ahead and slaughtered any one in his way, pushing his dao and dharma to the extreme.

Streaks of dazzling Taixuan sword qi burst forth from the acupoints all over him.

“My sword started from one and turned into infinity. All the things I created, I transcended. The journey of my sword is infinite and adaptive, and its essence, like sand, was numberless!

“This is the sword dao that I created. It is called ‘Taixuan’.

"Nurture the quintessence of Taixuan with your soul, and house its sword intent in your eight hundred and forty million acupoints. Each of them is like a sacred treasure that can be as big as an abyss, and can be used as a sword-refining furnace!”

Waves of secrets related to the Taixuan Sword Scripture echoed in Lin Xun’s mind during this state of extreme combat where he had forgotten his true self.

Rumble—

Everyone was shaken by the terrifying sword qi, sword light, sword intent, sword formation, and their expressions dramatically altered.

Even Mi Wuya and Jing Tiannan felt their blood pulsing chaotically within their bodies and did not dare to face the attack head-on. Their pupils shrank.

At the same time, the wave of splendid sword qi broke through the defense of three peerless figures and completely drowned them.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

As though their bodies were crushed, they exploded into a rain of blood and stained the sky a striking scarlet color.

A burst of screams rang from the battlefield, horrified by the scene.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Xun moved within eight feet of the Gate of Ruination!

However, he was completely unaware of all this. At this very moment, he was like the god of war, dominating the nine heavens and looking down on everyone!

Rumble!

The power around him changed once again. He seemed to have transformed into an abyss and was about to devour the sky.

Great Endless Devour Scripture!

“Devour the sky, swallow the earth, and seize the great power of the void as my own. The great void is boundless, my power is infinite, my body is immeasurable, my arts are endless...”

The secrets of the inheritance left by the Omega Lord roamed about Lin Xun like lava, before it transformed into a powerful force that fully unleashed itself.

“No—!”

Instantly, several experts who were charging at Lin Xun seemed to be swept up by a deadly storm and swallowed into the depths of the abyss.

With an unsettling rumble, their bodies exploded, and their spirit, qi, and essence were all devoured and refined. They were no longer seen in the world.

Lin Xun’s domineering power stunned everyone once again; they couldn't believe their eyes.

How can he be on the verge of death?

How can this be a last desperate struggle?

Looking at Lin Xun from afar, many people felt a chill run down their spine, as if they had plunged into the heart of an ice cave.

It was at this moment that Lin Xun took another step forward!

Mi Wuya’s expression became serious for a rare moment, and his fighting spirit was burning like fire.

The present Lin Xun made him feel a terrifying pressure bearing down on him, which surprised him, but also ignited a spark within him—a thrill and excitement he hadn’t felt in ages.

“Let’s see how long you can hold on in this desperate struggle!” Jing Tiannan uttered bitterly. Then, with a loud roar, he pounced forward like swift lightning shot out of a stormy sky.

At the same time, Lin Xun activated the World-Guarding Nine Cauldrons Scripture. The grand abyss transformed into a raging cauldron, then multiplied into nine and crashed down with tremendous force.

The number nine represented the ultimate, and once the nine cauldrons emerged, they could unleash a storm of unimaginable power to subdue the world!

Boom!

Instantly, Jing Tiannan was coughing up blood like he was struck by lightning. He stumbled back several steps before he could just barely dispel the attack.

His face blanched.

How is that possible?

Ling Hongzhuang lashed out with the glowing green whip from the other side. However, before the whip struck, the immense power of the nine cauldrons knocked her back, sending her staggering. Her pretty face turned pale, lips trembling as she tried to steady herself.

She took a deep breath. The shock and power of the cauldron left her visibly shaken.

Lin Xun was like an invincible ruler in this battle, making people feel that they were no match for him.
