Chapter 2195: Those Free From Obsessions Live as Long as Heaven and Earth

Only about fifty old monster Emperors remained on the battlefield, which was a reduction of eighty percent compared to the beginning.

Of that eighty percent, almost twenty percent were below the fourth level Emperor Stage, totalling over sixty people had been killed.

Others chose to flee.

In other words, at this point in the battle, the number of Emperors that Lin Xun killed was far less than the number that had fled.

This proved that they were indeed a disorderly band of people, far from being united as one with the same goals.

Even so, the number of Emperors Lin Xun had killed had reached a staggering figure that would astonish the world!

The battle did not end there. On the contrary, it became more intense.

Each of the remaining fifty-odd old monsters possessed the strength of the fifth or sixth realm Emperor Stage, and their auras were nothing short of terrifying.

Although they were shaken by the fact that Lin Xun had killed Sword Emperor Yunguang, they did not back down.

This was because they firmly believed that Lin Xun, who had just ascended to the Emperor Stage, could not possibly hold on for much longer.

The other reason was that they were confident that, with their strength, they could escape unscathed even if the worst outcome happened!

In fact, Lin Xun and his five great dao bodies were indeed surrounded at this moment, and the situation had not changed too much.

As Lin Xun attempted to take down another mighty opponent like Sword Emperor Yunguang again, it became increasingly difficult.

This was because the old monsters had heightened their vigilance and began treating Lin Xun as a formidable threat. Whenever they sensed danger, they chose to retreat temporarily rather than confront him head-on.

Boom!

On the battlefield, murderous qi flooded the air and dao sound was resounding, echoing in all directions.

“Little bastard, I will exhaust you to death!” An old antique’s expression was ice-cold, filled with deep hatred.

The fact that someone at the first level of the Supreme Emperor Stage had displayed heaven-defying strength, fighting to this moment, filled them with both unease and an indescribable sense of shame.

An old monster remarked in a serious voice, “If we fail to kill him this time, then likely no one in this world will be able to suppress him in the future!”

The kid had just stepped into the Emperor Stage, but he already possessed the strength to kill a fifth realm Emperor despite being surrounded. This not only defied heavens but was also simply abnormal!

Throughout history, who had ever witnessed a newly ascended Emperor wield such earth-shattering combat power?

If such a person were allowed to live, as his cultivation and strength grew, he would inevitably become more powerful and terrifying in the future!

At that time, who in this world would be a match for him?

𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

“Kill him! Even if we can’t take his fortune, we must get rid of him once and for all!” hollered an old monster, murderous intent surging into the sky.

They had long since offended Lin Xun. It was obvious that if they allowed him to live, they would inevitably face his retaliation sooner or later!

This was what they feared the most.

It might be easy to be a thief, but difficult to continuously guard against thieves.

“Don’t worry, once I return to the Ancient Nebula Road, I will personally pay you each a visit one by one and settle accounts with you all!”

Lin Xun’s dark eyes were profound while Emperor dao laws surged around him like a boundless abyss. Despite being encircled and in a seemingly perilous situation, he remained unyielding, resisting suppression entirely.

Or perhaps, he had been using the old bastards to strengthen his cultivation from the very beginning!

After becoming a supreme Emperor, Lin Xun had undergone transformational changes due to the new cultivation stage, new power and new cultivation.

However, this transformation required time for adaptation and consolidation.

Battle was undoubtedly the most direct and simplest way of tempering his cultivation. It not only allowed him to grasp the power of the Emperor Stage as quickly as possible, but also took advantage of the opportunity to test and hone his cultivation.

“You all heard how deranged that kid is! If we let him live, he will sooner or later bring disaster to the world, stirring up endless bloodshed and chaos!” howled an old antique in a hoarse voice, his face livid.

“Kill!”

“Kill that bastard!”

The eyes of those old monsters turned bloodshot as their attacks grew fiercer, plunging the world into utter chaos and turmoil.

“So aggressive!”

The pressure on Lin Xun intensified sharply. He chanted a dao incantation and immediately recalled the five great dao bodies, shifting from fighting independently to joining forces with his true self.

Although he had suddenly become the target of everyone, with the combined strength of the five great dao bodies protecting and fighting alongside him, he was unshaken by the overwhelming pressure of enemies surrounding him from all directions.

In the sky, Battle Emperor Fengling couldn’t help but tense up nervously.

The first realm of the Emperor Stage was Free From Obsessions, meaning to not be constrained by any particular dao or bound by any laws.

Adhere to what had substance, and let go of all attachments, holding onto nothing.

To shoulder the weight of the great dao, one must be free from obsessions!

When one attained this state, they could create a world within their Emperor body, built entirely from the pure and boundless power of the Emperor Stage.

This world was also called the True Self Emperor World.

The more refined and powerful one’s cultivation, the more magnificent and vast their True Self Emperor World would be, unlocking increasingly terrifying power.

In addition, at the first level Emperor Stage, the spirit transformed into the Will Dharma Form, and as long as the dharma form and thoughts remained unextinguished, one’s cultivation would remain eternal.

One’s physical body, qi and blood became the Emperor Dharma Body, which could be regenerated even if only a drop of blood or a fragment of bone was left.

This was the Emperor Stage!

As long as one was not reduced to ashes, they would be near immortal, living as long as the heaven and earth themselves!

Hence, there was a saying about the Emperor Stage: Those free from obsessions live as long as heaven and earth!

Battle Emperor Fengling had also advanced to this level from the first realm Emperor Stage, so he was well aware of the profound secrets of this stage. Over the years, he had encountered various individuals at the first realm Emperor Stage—men and women, each with their own strengths and abilities.

Some possessed extraordinary foundations, while others were dazzling and unparalleled, standing out among their peers. They were regarded as rising stars of the Emperor Stage, known throughout the world and were believed to have limitless potential.

Some had ordinary foundations, were average, and not particularly dazzling, but they were still Emperors, far surpassing cultivators below the Emperor Stage.

The reason for this lay in the fact that there were huge differences even among those at the same cultivation stage due to the differences within the three kinds of cultivation, Will Dharma Form, True Self Emperor World, and Emperor Dharma Body.

Those three kinds of cultivation represented spirit cultivation, qi cultivation and physical cultivation.

This was also the fundamental reason why only those who practiced the three dao paths had the hope of ascending the dao and becoming an Emperor.

Those who practiced all three paths of cultivation might not necessarily be able to temper each of them to the pinnacle level. As a result, even those at the same realm could exhibit significant differences in strength.

Although Battle Emperor Fengling had encountered many first level Emperors over the years, he had never met someone like Lin Xun, who could defeat Emperors of higher realms and even contend with old antiques at the fifth and sixth level!

This completely shattered Battle Emperor Fengling’s understanding. He couldn’t believe that this was the power that a first realm Emperor could possess.

He knew that Lin Xun was the only supreme Emperor in the past one hundred thousand years. He also knew that the word ‘supreme’ in the Emperor Stage represented an unimaginable power, one that he himself did not fully understand.

However, he knew very well that in the primeval era, a supreme Emperor had once walked the world, radiating a brilliance that left the entire world in awe.

It was just that…

The supreme Emperor from the primeval era seemed less extraordinary compared to the strength that Lin Xun had displayed!

According to the records of the Mythical Huang Dao Court, in the primeval times, a supreme Emperor suddenly descended upon the world, single handedly suppressing eight third level Emperor peers, and as a result, became renowned throughout the world.

Yet, this most dazzling feat of the supreme Emperor from the primeval era still paled in comparison to Lin Xun, who effortlessly slaughtered fourth realm Emperors with a mere flick of his hand and took down formidable fifth realm Emperors!

He even single-handedly withstood the combined forces of a group of old antiques at the fifth and sixth realm Emperor Stages!

Too abnormally strong!

He could truly be called the strongest person in all of history, an existence never seen before!

However, at this moment, he found himself trapped in a perilous situation, which made Battle Emperor Fengling’s heart tighten, and he dared not even breathe too loudly.

Crunch! Crunch!

The sound of Xia Zhi eating melon reached his ears again, sharp and crisp, almost jarring.

In such a tense moment, Battle Emperor Fengling couldn't help but wonder,

Lin Xun is in such a dangerous situation. Miss, why do you still have the mood to sit back and enjoy melon?

In the end, he held back and suddenly realized something—

The girl beside him who was calmly watching and enjoying melons was actually an incredibly powerful and formidable figure. She hadn’t made a move yet, so why should he be worried?

If Lin Xun was in life-threatening danger, how would the melon-eating girl not do anything?

Thinking of this, Battle Emperor Fengling’s tense heart finally eased and he glanced at the jade-green melon in Xia Zhi’s hand, his throat tightening.

Is the melon…really that good?

“Do you want some?” asked Xia Zhi.

Battle Emperor Fengling was taken aback at first, then hesitated for a moment and said, “I don’t mind having a try.”

He felt a little embarrassed. At such a time he was still thinking about eating melon! It seemed rather disrespectful to Brother Lin, who was fighting hard on the battlefield...

Xia Zhi stuffed a slice of melon into Battle Emperor Fengling’s hand and stretched her slender figure. “Soon, it should be my turn to appear on stage.”

Her clear and heavenly voice was tinged with a hint of eagerness to take action.

Battle Emperor Fengling took a bite of the melon, savoring its refreshing and sweet flesh, and felt himself growing more relaxed. With the melon-eating girl finally preparing to join the battle, it seemed he would be left to enjoy the melon on his own.

At that moment, he froze.

Xia Zhi also froze.

At the same time, Lin Xun on the battlefield took a deep breath, and a magnificent, dreamy light erupted from his body.

For a moment, the old monsters surrounding him seemed to be frozen in place, their movements and figures coming to an abrupt halt.

Lin Xun and his five great dao bodies launched deadly strikes at this moment.

Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!

Brilliant sword qi, mighty palm strikes, sharp and peerless finger force, and dazzling divine beams of flame all erupted at once. The attackers were either hacked to death, crushed, stabbed through, or consumed by fiery blasts...

This all happened in the blink of an eye.

The seven old antiques who had surrounded Lin Xun at the front were all killed on the spot, their blood bursting out like exploding firecrackers, raining down one after another.

The sky turned crimson with their blood!
