Chapter 2291 Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron

Within minutes, Lin Xun’s cultivation already soared to the perfect third realm Emperor Stage, yet the Primal Chaos Essence bestowed by Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor was only halfway refined.

This alone was proof of why Primal Chaos Essence was so coveted—even Emperor Ancestors would go mad for it.

At this rate, Lin Xun was certain it wouldn’t take long before he felt the signs of a breakthrough.

However, at that very moment, the entrance to the secret realm suddenly shook violently, as if struck by an unimaginable force.

Lin Xun’s eyes snapped open, his meditation interrupted. In an instant, an invisible supreme pressure rippled outward from his body.

His gaze turned sharp as he looked into the distance. “Luo Jia.”

In the past days, Luo Jia had been standing there, silently witnessing Lin Xun refining his life-bound Emperor weapon. The process had left her deeply stunned.

Hearing Lin Xun call her name, she suddenly snapped out of her chaotic thoughts, as if waking from a dream. “Brother Lin, what’s the matter?”

“The enemy has arrived. We can’t stay here any longer. I’ll have to trouble you for a bit.” As Lin Xun spoke, he flicked his sleeve, and a beam of light shot out, enveloping Luo Jia before pulling her into the Dao Endless Pagoda.

Boom!

The entrance to the secret realm was breached. A terrifying flood of dazzling light surged in like a dam bursting, sweeping across the space with mighty force.

With it came a group of imposing figures—Emperors from the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Clans.

“Hurry, this is where the Celestial Phoenix Progenitor Ancestor is in deep slumber. Once we destroy this place, he will never be able to achieve rebirth from nirvana!” someone bellowed excitedly.

“Is he the only one here?” Countless eyes instantly locked onto Lin Xun, filled with murderous intent.

More scanned the surroundings, clearly searching for signs of the Celestial Phoenix Progenitor Ancestor’s presence.

“Don’t waste time, kill the kid first!”

Just as several figures were about to strike, an old man in daoist robes, exuding the demeanor of a sage, raised his hand to stop them.

“Oh, that’s right, you must be Lin Daoyuan? I had heard of your fame when we came here.”

He scrutinized Lin Xun with burning eyes and suddenly let out a chuckle, “Now, you can see that Thousand Flame Imperial City has already fallen. It won’t be long before the Celestial Phoenix Lineage is erased from the world. If you wish to keep living, I advise you to submit to our Black Tortoise Lineage. I promise you will be treated most generously!”

The surrounding Emperors suddenly grasped Lin Xun’s true identity, their gazes locking onto him as if he were the most coveted prey in the world.

Lin Daoyuan!

He was a legendary weapon crafter who had shaken the entire Celestial Phoenix World not long ago. It was said that every Emperor-grade weapon forged by his hands were of the supreme-grade!

What was even more astonishing was his unparalleled weapon forging speed. On average, he could forge two Emperor-grade weapons per day, and not once had he ever failed!

Such a master of the craft was a priceless asset that any major faction would go to great lengths to claim.

“I’ll take him back to the White Tiger Lineage and have him forge an Emperor-grade weapon for my clan!”

A man exuding a fierce aura stepped forward, his eyes burning with a dangerous light, “Otherwise, I would rather kill him here and now than let him fall into the hands of another faction!”

“Yes, that’s the only option!” The other White Tiger Lineage Emperors nodded in agreement.

The Black Tortoise Emperors’ expressions, led by the old man in daoist robes, instantly darkened.

“Apologies, but Lin Daoyuan must come with our Black Tortoise Lineage today. If your White Tiger Lineage dares to take him by force, you should be prepared to face the consequences!” The old man’s voice was calm yet unyielding.

The fierce-looking White Tiger Emperor’s face twisted with rage. He jabbed a finger toward Lin Xun and growled, “Lin Daoyuan, come with me now. I promise that no one here will lay a hand on you. Refuse and I will kill you on the spot!”

“You dare!” The old daoist’s eyes turned ice-cold. “If my Black Tortoise Lineage can’t have him, then no one else will!”

It escalated in an instant. The Emperors of the two clans glared at each other like drawn swords, their aura clashing and filling the air with suffocating tension.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun stood there, his dark eyes cold as frost. A wave of absurdity welled up within him.

What do these bastards think I am?

Some kind of prey they can claim and kill at will?

Boom!

Suddenly, a White Tiger Lineage Emperor could no longer hold back and lunged forward.

It was a burly, imposing man. With a flicker of movement, he shot toward Lin Xun, his hand reaching out like an iron claw. “If you dare resist, I will tear you apart alive!”

“You have a death wish!” The daoist-robed man’s expression darkened. He couldn’t just stand by and let the White Tiger Lineage seize their prey. But just as he was about to act, an unexpected scene unfolded before his eyes.

Lin Xun moved.

With a casual motion, he reached out and caught the burly man as if grasping a helpless chick.

Then, with a slight pull—

Si!

The burly man, a fourth realm Emperor, was torn in half like a rag, blood pouring down like a waterfall.

Lin Xun tossed the corpse aside like trash.

He tore an Emperor apart with bare hands!

This gruesome scene sent chills down the spines of Emperors of the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Clans, their expressions twisting in shock and horror.

The fierce-looking man roared, “Quick, attack together, capture him first!”

“Yes, capture him first!” bellowed the daoist-robed old man, realizing the danger.

Boom!

The Emperors of the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Clans attacked without hesitation. Some summoned their Emperor weapons while others activated their secret arts, unleashing terrifying waves of destructive power.

Any Emperor alone could incinerate mountains, boil seas and destroy the land, let alone a group of them attacking in unison.

This was a force capable of striking despair into the heart of even veteran Emperors!

“You’re courting death. Today, I’ll use your lives as a sacrifice to temper my Emperor weapon.” Lin Xun’s lips curled into a cold, ruthless arc.

Buzz!

A blinding radiance erupted from the ground beneath his feet. A cauldron radiated a terrifying might that seemed capable of suppressing the heavens themselves.

As it spun through the air, the combined attacks from all directions were instantly shattered, dissolved, and obliterated!

The cauldron was unshakable!

Everyone’s pupils contracted in shock.

Among them were seventeen Emperors, none weaker than the second realm Emperor Stage, while the strongest, including the fierce-looking man and the daoist-robed old man, had reached the seventh realm Emperor Stage. They were already considered among the pinnacle of the Emperor Stage.

Yet now, their combined attacks had been effortlessly blocked by a cauldron!

Before they could even process the mindblowing reality, Lin Xun struck without hesitation.

“Slash!”

With the clang, a dao sword shot forth from the cauldron, its brilliance resembling a river of stars cascading across the heavens. As it descended, terrifying killing intent swept across the battlefield. Faintly, within the sword’s radiance, the sun, moon and stars seemed to stir.

What kind of sword was that?

Its sharpness was unimaginable. Its power was boundless. It felt as if it could cleave the sky into two and sever the rise and fall of the world itself!

In an instant, a scream tore through the battlefield, An Emperor standing at the forefront was directly struck, his body crushed by the sword qi, reduced to nothing but drifting ashes.

Chaos erupted. Shouts of shock and panicked cries filled the air.

“Hurry, kill him together!”

“Kill”

The fierce-looking man and the daoist-robed old man led the Emperors in a frenzied assault against Lin Xun, unleashing their full might.

Unfortunately, no matter how formidable their Emperor weapons were, or how dazzling their arts appeared, they were all shattered and dissolved one after another by the cauldron before Lin Xun, like an unshakable force of destruction.

Amidst the chaos, a dao sword flickered across the battlefield, following Lin Xun’s order. It set off a relentless massacre.

“Slash!”

“Slash!”

“Slash!”

Each time Lin Xun’s voice rang out, an Emperor perished on the spot, their spirit utterly annihilated. None survived.

His ruthless, domineering slaughter was like crushing rotten wood—unstoppable, unparalleled, and absolute!

Countless Emperor-grade weapons roared into the air, desperately attempting to stop the dao sword’s merciless destruction. However, the moment they clashed, they were instantly reduced to a rain of shattered light.

Before the dao sword, the Emperor weapons wielded by the Emperors of the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Clans were as fragile as paper, unable to withstand even a single strike.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the battlefield, Emperor-grade weapons were constantly shattered and exploded one after another, mingling with agonized screams and desperate wails.

Emperors burst apart like firecrackers, their blood splattering across the battlefield as their bodies collapsed in an instant.

It was pure carnage!

Even with seventeen Emperors joining forces, even with seventh realm Emperors among them, it was far from enough.

Lin Xun never moved from his original spot. With the cauldron and sword, he was invincible in attack and unshakable in defense, reaping the souls of those Emperors!

Boom!

Before long, the fierce-looking man’s armor and treasures shattered simultaneously, and in the next instant, Lin Xun’s sword cleaved him in half, ending him on the spot.

At this moment, only one figure remained standing—the daoist-robed old man. His face was twisted in terror, his soul nearly fleeing from his body.

The moment he saw the fierce-looking man fall, the last of his fighting spirit crumbled. He spun around and fled, bolting like a panicked stray dog.

However, with a flash of light, a streak of scarlet blood shot into the air, and the daoist-robed old man, a seventh realm Emperor, was cleaved at the waist, killed on the spot.

At this moment, all seventeen Emperors had been slaughtered beneath Lin Xun’s Emperor weapon, reduced to ashes. Not a single one survived!

Furthermore, it had all happened in an instant.

Clang!

The dao sword let out a clear hum as it returned to the cauldron, then settled into Lin Xun’s hand.

“From today on, you shall be known as...Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron!” Lin Xun's dark eyes shone with profound depth.

Integrate thousands of daos, derive thousands of arts, unprecedented through all eternity, the sole existence across the heavens!

Buzz!

The Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron quivered as though celebrating its new name, brimming with spiritual intelligence.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but anticipate the day when the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron would transform and give birth to a weapon spirit. What kind of brilliance would it radiate then?

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Suddenly, the space around him rippled and warped, and figures began to rush into the secret realm. All of them were Emperors.

Clearly, they had arrived too late.

Upon seeing Lin Xun standing alone in this secret realm, the seven Emperors from the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Clans immediately felt a bad feeling.

Before they could make sense of the situation, Lin Xun launched a killing spree without hesitation.

Boom!

The Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron roared as billions of rays of light shot out. The sheer power it unleashed was enough to plunge the world into chaos.

Lin Xun spoke leisurely, “Today’s battle will allow you to test your sharp blade for the first time and drink Emperor’s blood to your heart’s content!”

Clang!

The dao sword roared out from within the cauldron, its sharpness unmatched as its clear hum echoed through the nine heavens, distorting the wind and darkening the skies.
