Chapter 2172 Eyes Opening in the Cosmos

A beast wave occurred on the fifth day after Lin Xun arrived at the Great Wall of Thousand Daos.

Dozens of giant cosmic beasts emerged from the depths of the cosmos. While they came in all kinds of strange shapes and sizes, they shared the same trait of being unimaginably titanic.

On the wall, some experts rubbed their hands in excitement while others frowned, displaying grave expressions.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but be shocked by the sight. Were these the cosmic beasts from the other side of the cosmos?

As expected, each one was incredibly powerful!

"See, young friend, this is the extreme danger I mentioned. In the past seven years, countless beast waves have assaulted the wall, and sometimes, several hundred of these cosmic beasts would attack us at once."

Battle Emperor Fengling transmitted, "The only thing I can tell you is that nineteen Emperors have fallen to date, and the strongest among them was even a sixth realm Emperor.

"You need to be extra careful. Although there are hundreds of Emperors stationed on the great wall, no one can help you when you encounter danger."

He spoke with the tone of a senior instructing a junior.

Evidently, Battle Emperor Fengling was still slightly upset that Lin Xun had addressed him as dao friend.

Lin Xun smiled and said, "Is that so? If even a sixth realm Emperor can run into misfortune, you should also be careful, dao friend."

The corners of Battle Emperor Fengling's lips twitched. It was obvious that this kid wouldn't listen to any advice.

Lin Xun said, "Dao friend, I heard that one can obtain Emperor cultivation benefits by hunting these cosmic beast."

Although Battle Emperor Fengling was annoyed by the form of address, he still answered, "Yes, the Great Wall of Thousand Daos is the Nirvana path which belongs to the Emperor Stage. One will gain surprising benefits from hunting cosmic beasts."

He paused for a brief moment before he said with a hint of pride, "As for what these benefits are, you will naturally find out once you have the chance to kill a cosmic beast."

Battle Emperor Fengling suddenly froze when the final word left his mouth. It was because he had spotted a cosmic beast charging straight in Lin Xun’s direction!

The cosmic beast resembled a divine bull. Its entirely ink-black body was the size of a mountain, and it had a pair of scarlet eyes which were as big as lakes.

Its four hooves thundered through the emptiness as a ferocious aura comparable to the second realm Emperor Stage surged from it!

"Why can’t that brute charge at me instead..."

Battle Emperor Fengling found the situation extremely regretful.

He didn’t know whether to consider himself lucky or unfortunate. Although there had been many beast waves in the past seven years, only a pitiful number of four cosmic beasts had attacked his fort.

Two of them had been formidable foes comparable to the fifth realm Emperor Stage. He had barely managed to find them off with his fourth realm Emperor cultivation and the defensive power of the Great Wall of Thousand Daos.

In other words, Battle Emperor Fengling had only managed to slay two cosmic beasts in the past seven years...

While numerous Emperors envied him and called him lucky, how could he possibly feel that way? After all, he...also wanted to hunt cosmic beasts!

Soon after, Battle Emperor Fengling snapped back to his senses and hurriedly transmitted, "Young friend, you’d best be careful, that brute is heading straight for you..."

Before he could finish, Lin Xun had already made his move.

𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Countless radiant blades of sword qi sprung from him and rushed into the cosmos like a torrential sword torrent.

Upon closer inspection, the swords could be seen weaving together to form a sinister sword array which enveloped the approaching black bull-like cosmic beast.

Eight Extremes Sword Array!

Composed of sixty-four sword arrays with ten thousand swords each, they totaled 640,000 swords when added together!

At present, it was the strongest sword array Lin Xun had mastered from the Taixuan Sword Scripture.

Plop plop plop!

The black divine bull’s mountain-like body was instantly diced into countless pieces by the Eight Extremes Sword Array. Blood spread like mist, dyeing the cosmos red.

Battle Emperor Fengling was dumbstruck.

In the blink of an eye, a cosmic beast comparable to a second realm Emperor expert had been killed with a sword array!

The feat nearly overturned his common sense.

It was at this moment that Lin Xun solemnly said, "Dao friend, you can't tell anyone else about this life-preserving trump card."

The corners of Battle Emperor Fengling's lips twitched.

What bullshit life-preserving trump card? Does he think my eyes have gone bad due to age?

That sword qi was clearly from your cultivation!

Moreover, no treasures or external power could be used in the Nirvana of Transcendence. In light of this, Lin Xun’s ‘life-preserving trump card’ was obviously pure nonsense!

Meanwhile, Lin Xun finally discovered the benefits of hunting cosmic beasts.

In the fort, streams of origin power emerged like flowing water and ultimately condensed into a pebble-like pearl.

Lin Xun grabbed the pearl and immediately determined that it contained incomparably pure origin law power.

Lin Xun had seen broken fragments of Emperor law power before, but the bead in his hand was on a completely different level.

After all, it contained law power belonging to the Ancient Nebula Road itself!

On the other hand, the Emperor law power fragments originated from how the dao was perceived by Emperors. There was a fundamental difference between the two.

One was natural, while the other was a cultivator’s interpretation. They were simply incomparable.

“No wonder they call this place the Emperor Nirvana path. With such benefits, these Emperor old monsters will be able to clear all cultivation obstacles in the shortest time possible!”

Lin Xun was amazed.

Such benefits could only be encountered in a serendipitous encounter.

This could only happen in the Nirvana of Transcendence, and it was impossible for such a heaven-defying blessing to appear in the outside world.

Lin Xun carefully stored the pearl.

"Young friend, quickly collect the remains of that cosmic beast."

Suddenly, Battle Emperor Fengling’s voice sounded, "Although you can’t rely on any external object or power in the Nirvana of Transcendence, you can use the mind-sea of this cosmic beast to create weapons."

Lin Xun acted without hesitation. With a wave of his sleeve, a giant abyss emerged and cleanly swallowed every last bit of flesh and bone.

Crash~

In a flash, a huge mountain of flesh and blood appeared in front of Lin Xun's fort, filling the air with the pungent stench of blood.

Battle Emperor Fengling advised, "Its flesh and blood can be made into elixirs, and its tendons, bones, teeth, scales, horns, and skin can be manufactured into treasures. Don't waste them. The entire cosmic beast is a treasure trove."

"Thank you for the advice, dao friend." Lin Xun nodded.

The corners of Battle Emperor Fengling's lips twitched again. This kid seemed to love taking advantage of others. Had he become addicted to calling him dao friend?

Meanwhile, battles continued to erupt far away. The beast wave this time only consisted of a few dozen cosmic beasts. Such a small-scale attack was nothing before the endless great wall.

After all, there were more than three hundred Emperor old monsters stationed on the Great Wall of Thousand Daos!

Of course, while this might seem like a big number, one cannot forget that these Emperors had come from all over the Ancient Nebula Road.

From this, one could imagine just how rare an Emperor was.

While plenty of quasi-Emperors could be found on every world, in some worlds, it would be impossible to find even a single Emperor!

Battle Emperor Fengling cautioned, "Young friend, you'd best be careful. Beast waves usually occur every ten days or so and you may not be so lucky the next time."

Lin Xun suddenly said, "Since Heavenly Emperor Shi issued an order to capture or kill me, dao friend, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble by interacting with me?"

Battle Emperor Fengling's expression changed indeterminately. After a while, he coldly snorted, "Do you think that we Mythical Huang Dao Court people are spineless?"

Submitting to Heavenly Emperor Shi had left a scar in the hearts of everyone from the Mythical Huang Dao Court. If not for their wish to preserve the sect, none of them would have willingly submitted!

Lin Xun immediately understood and said, "I’ll look forward to your guidance in the future."

Battle Emperor Fengling's expression softened and he said, "That’s the attitude a junior like you should have."

Lin Xun couldn't help but laugh, "Although I’m only a quasi-Emperor, I already have the power to kill an Emperor. Why can't I call you a dao friend?"

Battle Emperor Fengling was speechless for a moment. After a while, he unhappily said, "You should still at least try to show respect for the older generation like me."

Lin Xun smilingly said, "Sure. Senior, please take care of your ignorant junior in the future."

Battle Emperor Fengling was uncomfortable and unsettled by this new form of address.

"Never mind, let’s address each other by name from now on."

Battle Emperor Fengling sighed helplessly.

Truthfully, he was still unable to fully calm down. If he had not witnessed it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that someone in this world would be capable of ignoring the impossible gap of the Emperor Stage and slay a cosmic beast comparable to a second realm Emperor expert!

This completely overturned his previous knowledge and made him no longer dare to view Lin Xun as an ordinary junior.

Lin Xun smiled and didn’t say anything else. His gaze landed on the mountain-like cosmic beast corpse and he fell into deep thought.

He was considering how to make use of his spoils.

......

Meanwhile, a pair of scarlet eyes quietly opened deep in the cosmos.

Although they were simply a pair of eyes, it felt as if two giant vortexes had appeared and a heart-pounding aura spread.

The nearby space also began to shudder.

At closer inspection, its body seemed to fill the entire sector of the cosmos like a shadow, making it impossibly humongous.

"Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer...you’re finally here...you won’t escape this time..."

An ice-cold will emerged like the tide and spread from the strange cosmic beast.

"The Ancient Nebula Road origin law power contains an aura that can threaten this king. I’ll have to depend on you guys...

"Remember, no matter what means you use, you must capture that young man alive!"

The ice-cold will spread outwards, unfurling in every direction.

As if on cue, countless pairs of sinister and savage scarlet eyes opened in the depths of the cosmos.
