Chapter 2191 The Storm Has Not Ended

“If you ever get the chance in the future, bring Kong Jue back. After all, he’s the ‘pioneer’ of this starry sky and also...your martial uncle.”

This was the Master of Fangchun Mountain’s request.

Lin Xun agreed without hesitation, “But before I bring him back, I have to give him a beating first!”

At this moment, the figure of the Master of Fangchun Mountain was continuously disintegrating, on the verge of fading into nothingness. Though this outcome was inevitable, Kong Jue’s punch had unquestionably accelerated it!

The Master of Fangchun Mountain chuckled, “When it comes to bearing grudges and seeking revenge, you and Jun Huan are quite similar.”

His figure grew increasingly blurred, as if he might disappear at any moment.

However, he didn’t seem bothered by this and instead asked, “Lin Xun, as my youngest disciple, do you have a Dharma name?”

“Daoyuan.” Lin Xun answered.

“The great dao is like an abyss, boundless and limitless. You also possess the innate talent of Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer. This name is rather apt...”

As the Master of Fangchun Mountain spoke, he dissipated into a shower of light.

“Master!” Lin Xun’s eyes grew misty, and an inexplicable sorrow filled his heart.

“On you go. Your Emperor journey has only just begun. Someday, we, master and disciple, will meet again.” The gentle voice of the Master of Fangchun Mountain sounded one more time before fading completely.

Even the boundless river of time quietly disappeared.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The Dao Endless Pagoda, Three Thousand Vicissitudes, and the diagram of the crescent moon and three stars turned into streams of light and landed in Lin Xun’s palm.

Seeing the empty, desolate, and cold starry sky, Lin Xun suddenly felt an indescribable sadness well up in his heart.

This path of the great dao was long and endless, and who knew how many years would pass before they met again.

Only after a long while did Lin Xun look away.

“Master, I will definitely do what I promised you!” Lin Xun muttered.

......

In the seventh year after the opening of Nirvana of Transcendence, Lin Xun, after enduring countless battles and becoming gravely wounded, triggered a heavenly tribulation that was unprecedented in history.

After overcoming nine rounds of life-and-death tribulations, he underwent nirvana amidst destruction, ascended the Dao between the boundaries of life and death, forged the Supreme Emperor’s path, and attained the foundation of the Eternal Supremacy Path.

So much had happened on this day—dangers, chaos, and moments that shook the soul.

However, this was not the end.

......

The Great Wall of Thousand Daos stretched endlessly across the starry sky, but compared to its former state, it now lacked the origin law power of the starry sky.

On the fortress, Xia Zhi stood alone, her clothes rippling in the breeze and her bone spear shimmering with a dreamy silver glow.

Watching Lin Xun walk towards her direction from a distance, she appeared unusually nervous.

Smiling from the depths of his heart, Lin Xun walked forward, hugged Xia Zhi tightly and said nothing.

No words could describe his feelings at this moment.

Xia Zhi’s tense body gradually relaxed. She quietly leaned into Lin Xun’s embrace, resting her head gently on his shoulder.

Memories of the past involuntarily surfaced in their minds.

During their younger years in Feiyun Village, amidst the curling smoke, they depended on each other, living a peaceful and fulfilling life.

In the Ziyao Empire, they embarked on separate paths.

As a direct descendant of the Lin Clan, he bore the weight of a deep-seated blood feud and overcame many hardships to rise to power.

She went to train in the Dark Night Sacred Hall.

Afterward, they went to the Ancient Wasteland Domain. One roamed the world, and the other trained in silence...

Then, they parted ways at the shore of Star Chess Sea.

One went to the Law Extinction Zone, fighting alone ever since.

The other went to the Kunlun Dominion, journeying through the starry sky.

Memories of the past surfaced in their minds like vivid imprints, evoking ripples of emotions that intertwined and echoed in their hearts.

After a moment, Xia Zhi suddenly said aloud, “Lin Xun, I’m hungry.”

Lin Xun was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed. He still remembered how ‘I’m hungry’ seemed to be Xia Zhi’s go-to phrase and she always said it so bluntly.

“I will definitely feed you well this time.” Lin Xun could sense that, with the disappearance of the law power, the restrictions on the Great Wall of Thousand Daos had been lifted, and he could activate the treasures he carried.

It should be noted that he had accumulated countless treasures in the Dao Endless Pagoda over the years, including numerous delicacies and rare fruits from across the starry sky.

Once they returned to the fortress, Lin Xun brought out all these delicacies and introduced them to Xia Zhi one by one.

“This is a lu’er fruit, which is shaped like a deer, and with its fragrant and refreshing taste it makes it a great appetizer. I bought it from a cultivator of the Mountain Deer World while aboard the Whirlwind Ship en route to the Great Primordial Chaos World.

“And this, doesn’t it look like a bunch of golden grapes? They’re called golden light raisins and its flesh is tender and glossy, with a delightful sweetness.”

Lin Xun swiftly prepared a large assortment of delicacies and rare fruits, and then began to gather other ingredients.

There was a wide variety of rare seasonings and all kinds of beast meat—some from the skies, some that roamed the land, and others from the depths of the sea. The selection was huge and diverse.

Over the years, he had journeyed across the starry sky, wandered through mountains and rivers, and visited countless cities across the forty-nine states of the Great Primordial Chaos World. Along the way, he had gathered an abundance of rare treasures.

Some were native to the Great Primordial Chaos World, while others originated from distant worlds across the starry sky. Together, they formed a dazzling array of shapes, colors and types.

With the ingredients ready, Lin Xun brought out a treasured cauldron to use as a cooking pot. He skewered meat on dozens of daggers and used an Emperor-grade blade to cut up vegetables.

Watching Lin Xun skillfully move about, Xia Zhi’s eyes widened and she asked, “Lin Xun, what have you been doing all these years? Have you become a chef?”

“If I was a chef, I would only cook for you.” Lin Xun smiled, but mid-sentence, he slapped his forehead as if something important had just come to mind.

The next moment, his five great dao bodies appeared and split the tasks among themselves. Lin Xun nodded approvingly. It was too inefficient to cook so much food by himself.

This huge fortress had been turned into Lin Xun’s kitchen, and soon it was filled with the aroma of food.

......

The Nirvana of Transcendence.

In a vast, boundless wasteland.

“It’s over, it’s finally over...” An old monster exhaled, as if a weight had been lifted off him.

Looking up, one could see only the Great Wall of Thousand Daos winding across the starry expanse like a colossal dragon, obscuring the starry sky farther away.

However, all the old monsters knew that the battle that took place in the depths of the starry sky should have ended; they just didn’t know the final outcome.

“Earlier, it felt as though the starry sky would collapse and shatter, but now it has been restored to its former peace. This suggests that the terrifying figure from the other side of the cosmos has won and left,” muttered someone.

“Won? Not necessarily. The figure that appeared on the river of time is most likely the body of will left by the Master of Fangchun Mountain. It effortlessly suppressed the three men and one woman earlier!” Someone’s heart was still trembling with lingering fear.

The others whispered softly to each other, shock and bewilderment evident in their faces.

They were Emperors, but earlier, they were utterly powerless and could only flee frantically, terrified of being drawn into the chaos.

Thinking about the terrifying battle that took place in the starry sky still continued to send shivers through their hearts.

“I am only concerned about whether that remnant of Fangchun Mountain is dead or alive, and whether he succeeded in becoming an Emperor.” An old monster’s expression was dark.

No matter who it was, the thought of Lin Xun left a sour and uncomfortable feeling, like eating a fly.

The army of starry sky beasts was incredibly powerful, yet they still failed to kill him.

That great tribulation was also terrifying, but it still couldn’t kill him.

When the terrifying figure from the other side of the cosmos appeared, the Master of Fangchun Mountain arrived suddenly to obstruct his path...

How could they possibly accept this?

“If that boy survived, he would definitely reach the Emperor Stage, becoming a supreme Emperor. Just think about it, when he was at the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage, he was already capable of killing beasts with strength comparable to the third level of the Emperor Stage. Imagine how terrifying his strength would be as an Emperor.”

Someone calmly analyzed, “In other words, even if he has just stepped into the Emperor Stage and only possesses a cultivation of the first level of the Emperor Stage, we can’t measure him by common logic. Given his character, he will undoubtedly retaliate against us!”

Those words made all the old monsters present feel a heavy weight in their hearts.

If this was indeed true, then in the nearly one hundred thousand years since the Dao War of Emperors ended, Lin Xun would be the sole person in the world to have attained the status of a supreme Emperor!

Furthermore, given the heaven-defying strength he displayed at the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage, his combat power was destined to far surpass that of ordinary Emperors.

Even fourth and fifth level Emperors present dared not underestimate him.

Simply put, if Lin Xun were indeed alive, he would pose an undeniable threat to them!

“So what if he’s alive? The kid has just broken through. Even if he possesses heaven-defying strength, if we join forces, we definitely have a chance to subdue and kill him!” Battle Emperor Zangliu of Primordial Dao Court remarked coldly.

He was a sixth level Emperor. When Lin Xun was facing the tribulation earlier, he was the first to rush over and threaten him.

“Brother Zangliu is right. While that boy is a threat, he stands no chance against hundreds of us?” Sword Emperor Yunguang of the Imperial Kong Clan agreed with him.

𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

He had led dozens of Emperors to surround and attempt to kill Xia Zhi when Lin Xun was undergoing the tribulation.

Someone reminded him, “Don’t forget that there’s a more powerful girl by his side.”

“It’s still just two people!” Sword Emperor Yunguang snorted coldly. He was still feeling bitter that he had failed to capture Xia Zhi.

Someone smiled and said, “In my opinion, we really don’t need to worry about the boy being a threat. After all, when the Nirvana of Transcendence comes to an end, Heavenly Emperor Shi will be the first one to deal with him.”

Hearing this, the other old monsters looked visibly relieved. Yes, Lin Xun was on the wanted list of Heavenly Emperor Shi!

“Everyone, when that boy became a supreme Emperor, he also seized the fortune of the Eternal Supremacy Path. Do you all really want to give up like that?” A voice echoed faintly, “In my view, if we capture that old man Fengling now, then we might be able to use him to threaten Lin Xun.”

Shua!

The moment these words rang out, all eyes shifted onto one person—Battle Emperor Fengling!

Who did not know that old man Fengling had been cheering for the remnant of Fangchun Mountain on the Great Wall of Thousand Daos, acting like he was a champion of justice and standing united with them!
