Chapter 2209: Smells So Good

A man, a woman, and a dog were blocking the front of the Tianhui Mountains, slaughtering people to the point blood flowed into a river and gloomed the atmosphere!

This was the Imperial Kong Clan's once-in-a-thousand years Luminous King Festival where guests from all walks of life gathered. It was supposed to be grandiose.

Now, however, there was only a hellish scene of blood and destruction.

No one had ever expected this!

After all, the Kong Clan was a nebula-renowned Primeval Imperial Clan, whose depths and heritage could rival the Great Six Courts.

The influence of such a great clan earned it fear and respect from even Emperor experts, and they dared not easily offend it.

Yet, today, Lin Xun, Xia Zhi, and Big Yellow had barged in and blocked the Imperial Kong Clan's mountain gate, setting off a bloody storm!

The most unbelievable thing was the current situation, which showed that the Kong Clan had started falling into a disadvantage!

Let alone the normal cultivators, even the Emperors present, who were from all over the nebula, watched this with their jaws agape and their blood cold!

……

The battle was still in full swing. Lin Xun's offensive momentum kept becoming more powerful and swift.

Boom!

Treasure glow erupted. Dao light tumbled.

Before the Tianhui Mountains, the sky collapsed, the earth cracked, and everything was being annihilated.

It didn’t take long for a mournful scream to ring out. A fifth realm old monster was ripped apart by the thousands of shadows sweeping out from the Origin Spirit Gourd.

Their flesh, blood, and spirit were then engulfed and refined by the Star Map of All, all in the blink of an eye!

“The fourth one,” said Lin Xun indifferently.

It was hair-raising, like the call of death itself.

Right this moment, a five-colored radiance bloomed on the Tianhui Mountains and shot through the nine layers of clouds. In mere seconds, it had dyed the sky with a magnificently colorful light.

At the same time, a boundlessly horrifying aura spread out from the depths of the mountain.

Big Yellow was still in the middle of fighting, but its pupils shrunk when it saw this. It shouted, “Kid, lass, danger, we gotta dash!”

As these words echoed, Big Yellow, fretful as if it was fighting for its life, pressed its claw on the air and condensed a massive palm force. The palm contained numerous dao laws, reflecting countless worlds. The power it demonstrated was dreadful.

BANG!

The eighth realm old monster of the Kong Clan fought back hard, but his Emperor weapon was directly knocked away, flying. The palm force wrapped around him and viciously tightened.

Whoosh!

Big Yellow, on the other hand, had already teleported in Lin Xun’s direction with a very anxious look, as though its butt was on fire.

“Hurry!” the dog said, scooping up Xia Zhi amid her fight.

Then, just as it was about to whisk Lin Xun away in the same manner, it saw…

An incomparably splendid light erupted like a great sun exploding in front of Lin Xun, so dazzling that no one could keep their eyes open.

In that instant, the world froze. Even the law power governing the area seemed to have come to an abrupt halt.

Time Stopping!

After Big Yellow's reminder, Lin Xun had sensed right away that the situation was amiss. However, he was unwilling to leave like that, so before he did, he wanted to give the Imperial Kong Clan a lesson they would never forget.

KABOOM!

Being executed simultaneously with Time Stopping was Lin Xun's all-out strike.

No Escape!

When this sword struck out, heaven and earth were split.

Only a brilliant sword qi could be seen, quickly spanning over ten thousand feet across the sky like it had escaped the shackle of time. In front of this unstoppable sword qi, even the void seemed meaningless. What defensive Emperor-grade weapons, what supreme arts or divine techniques, they were as good as non-existent.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The first to be hit was a fifth realm old monster, whose shell was wholly squashed and spirit destroyed.

The sword qi then immediately proceeded to rip another Emperor to shreds, who had acted like a fish on a chopping board, utterly powerless to resist!

However, before this strike finished its full course, Big Yellow had already grabbed Lin Xun, tore through space, and disappeared.

In the end, of the eight Emperor monsters who had besieged Lin Xun, only a sixth realm with the appearance of a middle-aged man was lucky enough to escape death.

Still, the experience had clearly left him scared. He stood frozen in the void, his entirety seemed to be in a trance with disbelief written all over it.

Lin Xun's sword strike before his departure, in a flash, had slain four whole Emperor old monsters!

Leaving only one alive!

Rumble~

The atmosphere was tumultuous as the chaotic aftershock of the battle was still spreading out.

However, Lin Xun, Xia Zhi, and Big Yellow were nowhere to be seen anymore.

The moment they had vanished, the five-colored radiance erupting from the depths of Tianhui Mountain gathered into a majestic figure, who stood towering between heaven and earth and was wreathed in five-colored divine light like a deity.

Upon a closer look, the figure had the appearance of a young man. He was clad in a five-colored outfit. His eyes were as blazing as the sun, and his might was so immense that all heavens would tremble before him.

However, he was bound by purple chains that looked like huge pythons. The surface gleamed with mysterious and obscure runes of law that would send chills through anyone who laid eyes on it.

“The shackle of my heart demon has prevented me from going into battle without delay, leading to such a tragedy… I, Kong Aotian, am a shame to my clan, to my great ancestors!”

The colorful figure let out a long sigh that was permeated with boundless hatred. It vibrated endlessly in echoes, causing people’s hearts to jump in horror.

The terrain before the mountain was in shambles and devoid of life. The earth was ridden with cracks, and a pungent stench of blood filled the air.

His eyes became bloodshot at the sight. His chains clattered as a terrifying, almost substantial, aura swept across the region. It was so oppressive that everyone present suffocated.

Bang bang bang!

Some of the audience in the extreme distance couldn’t even react when the sonic waves of the figure’s voice shattered their spirits and blew up their shells. Their blood spilled all over the ground.

In that split second, innumerable cultivators were impacted by this unexpected disaster!

“Making a show out of my Imperial Kong Clan? Who do you think you are? SCRAM!”

Kong Aotian's voice had become ruthless when he said this. This piece of sky and earth buzzed and quaked under it. Even the faraway mountains and trees crumbled in pieces.

Another big batch of cultivators bled from their seven orifices. The voice rattled them to the point that their minds disintegrated, and they died on the spot.

Only those with high cultivation were lucky to survive, and they were all fleeing desperately the next moment.

Even Emperor characters didn't dare to linger any longer!

“Ancestor!”

The remaining experts of the Kong Clan wore dismal expressions as they stood before the devastated Tianhui Mountains. Their hearts were filled with bitterness, rage, and hatred…

Lin Xun, the woman, and the dog had beaten them into a mess and their clansmen had fallen one after another. This blow was too severe, leaving them with less than half the previous number of Emperor experts!

It was too tragic!

Having people busting through their door and challenging them was one thing, but the other party had even escaped unharmed. This was no longer just a matter of losing face as it could shake the very foundation of their clan!

Kong Aotian was silent for a moment and asked, “Where is Qingxuan?”

With shame and anger, one of them reported in a small voice that Qingxuan, who was the eighth realm old monster, had been captured by Big Yellow.

“Captured alive…” Kong Aotian was so infuriated that he trembled, causing the chains on him to clatter.

A long time later, he said, “This matter does not end here. The day I break the shackle of my heart demon is the day Lin Daoyuan will be executed!”

He then flung his sleeves and turned around, disappearing into thin air.

The remaining Kong Clan’s old monsters looked at one another, each with an expression as if their family had dropped dead. Their faces were so dark that they could rain.

Today's Luminous King Festival had turned into a huge embarrassment for the Imperial Kong Clan!

The battle had cost them four Emperors at the sixth realm, five Emperors at the fifth realm, and a total of seven Emperors at the fourth realm and below!

Blood had painted a picture on the space before the Tianhui Mountains!

As soon as the news broke out, Brahma Land Great World flew into an uproar, and countless cultivators were shaken.

And when the news spread to the entire Ancient Nebula Road, it ignited another round of furor.

Of note, the events of half a month ago in the Nirvana of Transcendence were still fermenting and traveling in the nebula. Therefore, another news of this scale coming out was simply adding fuel to the fire.

“Emperor Daoyuan is still alive! Heavens, doesn't this mean that the Ancient Nebula Road is bound to be unpeaceful in the future?”

“None of those fifth and sixth realm Emperor fossils who besieged Emperor Daoyuan in the Nirvana of Transcendence back then have shown up. Could it be that he killed them all?”

“As powerful as the Imperial Kong Clan is, who could ever have imagined that Emperor Daoyuan would trample on their gate and massacre their Emperor experts like that?!”

“How can Emperor Daoyuan be so strong?”

“It is rumored that Kong Aotian, a founding ancestor of the Kong Clan who had been guarding them since the primeval era, was mobilized, but he failed to stop Emperor Daoyuan’s escape!”

All kinds of discussions came out like a landslide, shaking the various worlds in the nebula and shocking countless cultivators.

It also caused a good number of dao lineages to shake like a leaf with fear.

This was especially true for the Great Six Courts and the Great Ten Battle Clans. Upon learning of the tragedy that had happened to the Imperial Kong Clan, they all sank into a state of trauma.

Undeniably, the current Lin Xun had become a threat that they had to take seriously and be apprehensive of.

He was a great danger that made it difficult for them to continue their lives normally!

While these news were still spreading, the Grand Universe Ark had carried Lin Xun, Xia Zhi, and Big Yellow out of Brahma Land Great World and sailed into the depths of the starry void.

On the treasure ship, a thirteen-foot-long spear was set over a bonfire. The Five-Colored Peacock skewered on it had been roasted to a perfection with crispy skin and drops of luscious fat dripping from it.

Holding a brush made of peacock feathers, Lin Xun dipped it on the premade sauce and applied it all over the meat with skilled movements. As he did that, the smell of the meat and the scent of the various ingredients blended together, diffusing an aroma so tantalizing that it seeped into the depths of one’s soul.

Big Yellow squatted on one side, its eyes glued on the food. The saliva flowing from its mouth had formed a small river.

It smells so good!

Look at that crystalline, tender meat becoming beautifully roasted above the All-Wonder Dao Fire. Hear that pleasant sizzling as the grease slides down. Oh, the temptation, it’s making me itchy…

“I’ll have both wings and both legs, and the neck too. They all look delicious.” Big Yellow couldn't help but take out a spirit plant that looked like a sugar cane and nibble on it, treating it as a dessert before the main course. It was so hungry that it felt like it could devour a cow in one bite!

“I want this part, this, and this too.” Xia Zhi’s jade-like finger pointed here and there at the peacock, her clear eyes also burning brightly like two small flames.

If one were to know that the Five-Colored Peacock being roasted had once been a third realm Emperor, their eyes would probably fall out.

After all, who on this Ancient Nebula Road had ever heard of anyone who had the courage to barbecue an Emperor of the Imperial Kong Clan?

Absolutely unhinged!
