Chapter 2299 Little Idiot

It should be noted that at the Emperor Stage, Lin Xun’s physical body was as tough as divine gold—ordinary Emperor-grade weapons would shatter upon impact against him.

Yet today, he was wounded!

That sight sent shivers down the spines of all who witnessed it.

Luo Chen’s relentless assault was simply too terrifying. His azure divine sword sliced through the void with ease, as if space itself were mere paper.

Every strike was followed by a thunderous explosion. How many in this world could endure such a devastating onslaught?

If an ordinary cultivator of the same generation faced him, they would likely be slain in an instant!

Even Bai Lingzhen, Wu Xiuxing, and the other old antiques gasped in shock, utterly dumbstruck.

The memory of Lin Xun’s battling Emperor Ancestors was still vivid in their mind, yet now he stood wounded before their eyes. The sheer impossibility of the scene left them shaken.

Huang Cangtian and members of the Celestial Phoenix Lineage watched grimly, their expressions solemn. More than ever, they felt just how deep and unfathomable the Luo Clan from the other side of the cosmos was. It was home to unparalleled prodigies. Luo Chen alone was proof of how truly terrifying they were!

Of course, everyone keenly noticed that Luo Chen was also injured. His face had paled slightly, his lips pressed into a firm line, and faint traces of blood seeped from the corners of his mouth.

He was clearly trying to suppress the injury, but the truth was undeniable—he had been wounded.

Seeing this, Luo Xingfeng’s expression finally shifted. Luo Chen, a fourth realm Emperor with an unrivaled foundation, had actually been injured?

This was something he had never thought possible.

Boom!

Lin Xun’s approach abruptly changed. He no longer focused on countering Luo Chen’s attacks but instead took the offensive. Each strike was fiercer and stronger than the last, his fists smashing down relentlessly. Though his body was riddled with cracks, with fresh blood streaming down, his assault remained as wild and ferocious as ever.

Waves of fist force surged outward like raging tides, mighty and unstoppable, each as vast as a towering mountain. The dao light radiating from his punches illuminated the heavens, crashing down upon Luo Chen with devastating force.

Pu!

Eventually, Luo Chen could no longer withstand the onslaught. His body swayed, his mouth opened, and with a violent cough, a mouthful of blood sprayed into the air.

“Die!”

Lin Xun let out a low shout, his vice rolling like a thunderclap, causing the void to tremble. In that instant, his fists blazed even brighter, like two divine hammers ready to shatter the nine heavens!

Xi and Big Yellow finally exhaled in relief. This...was Lin Xun’s true strength! The previous exchanges were merely a test, where he had fought with restraint.

“He...”

Bai Lingzhen, Wu Xiuxing and other old monsters were speechless, too stunned to react.

In truth, they didn’t dare to utter a word for fear of provoking Luo Xingfeng who stood beside them.

At this moment, a barely perceptible gloom clouded Luo Xingfeng’s face.

He cared little for Lin Xun’s injuries, but seeing Luo Chen suffer wounds was something he struggled to accept.

Luo Chen was a dazzling supreme Emperor of the younger generation of their Luo Clan with cultivation that surpassed his opponent’s. How could he be wounded by him?

Pu—

Before long, Luo Chen could no longer withstand the assault. With another violent cough, a mouthful of red blood splattered into the sky. His body swayed, his steps faltering.

Yet at the same time, multiple sword wounds appeared across Lin Xun’s body!

One gash was so deep that bone peeked through, specks of white mixing into the flowing blood. They were bone fragments.

Only then did the spectators realize that both had sustained heavy injuries, and that neither side held the advantage.

In a blink of an eye, the two had exchanged hundreds of blows, yet no clear victor had emerged and both were left riddled with wounds.

“Not bad, you are worthy of my attention. But now, I will show you what a true secret technique is!”

Luo Chen’s eyes flashed a terrifyingly cold light, but his voice remained calm.

A blazing azure flame erupted from his body. The Power of Rebirth surged within him, and in an instant, his wounds vanished.

In the blink of an eye, his body was restored to its peak state as if the injuries had never existed!

He stood tall, unscathed, and his aura seemed to have grown even stronger than before!

Everyone watching was dumbfounded, their jaws slack with disbelief. In an instant, he had returned to his peak condition. No, he was even more terrifying than before!

How could anyone contend with him? How could anyone possibly fight him to the death?

With such a secret technique at his disposal, defeating Luo Chen seemed near impossible, because no matter how severe his injuries, he could instantly restore himself and return to peak condition at an astonishing speed.

For any opponent facing him, it would be an endless nightmare, a battle with no hope of victory!

Swoosh!

Golden ripples spread as waves of dao light surged. Under countless stunned gazes, Lin Xun also changed. His wounds vanished in an instant, and the aura radiating from him surged, becoming even more terrifying than before.

“Huh?” A wave of disbelief ripple through the battlefield as many widened their eyes in shock.

It was the Immortality Grand Dao. In truth, when Lin Xun first mastered this profound grand dao, the first principle he comprehended was the ability to restore vitality and manifest the essence of immortality.

However, in recent years, he had rarely relied on it.

Luo Chen was also taken aback for a moment, but he quickly let out a cold snort, and an unprecedented fighting spirit ignited in his eyes.

As he chanted an obscure dao incantation, a magnificent azure astral flame surged behind him, transforming into a vortex world. Layers of brilliant sparks erupted, swirling into the air, generating a terrifying force of incineration and distortion.

In an instant, heaven and earth twisted, the world seemed to flip upside down, and even yin and yang reversed!

Many people gasped in shock. That was the power of a grand dao talent! Furthermore, this was not just any talent, but an exceptionally terrifying one!

Even many old antiques couldn’t help but sigh. The Luo Clan from the other side of the cosmos was indeed truly extraordinary and unfathomable.

The so-called Astral Flame Spirit Vortex was a power that could draw upon the flames of the cosmic stars, creating a vortex of chaotic destruction that inverted the very fabric of heaven and earth. Any living being caught in the vortex would be crushed, their life force obliterated. It was a power of absolute dominance and devastation!

Suddenly, Lin Xun was like a leaf in a raging storm, and the immense power he wielded showed signs of being suppressed and slipping out of his control.

Xi, Big Yellow, and the others felt their pupils contract sharply. The change was so abrupt, so overwhelming, that they couldn’t keep their composure.

Rumble!

Lin Xun’s hands moved in rapid succession, countering and striking back, his body radiating dazzling dao light as waves of divine power surged around him. His might was undeniably formidable.

Unfortunately, the power of the Astral Flame Spirit Vortex was even more terrifying. It twisted the space and plunged the world into chaos and instability. The crushing force bore down like a roaring mountain, like a surging celestial river that engulfed the sky and submerged the vault of heaven.

Everyone watching trembled in terror.

Too powerful!

Luo Chen, now unleashing his full strength, was like an invincible god, dominating the vast void.

Only then did Luo Xingfeng nod in satisfaction, his tense expression easing. A reserved smile curled at his lips. This was the Astral Flame Spirit Vortex, one of the top-tier innate talents in the world.

“It has only just begun, and you’re already struggling?” Luo Chen’s cold voice rang out, his tone filled with supreme arrogance.

His white robes billowed in the wind, his demeanor transcendent, exuding an aura of absolute invincibility.

He had unleashed his full power. It was so powerful that any ordinary cultivator would have been crushed to dust long ago.

Lin Xun had clearly fallen into a passive state, like a lone leaf drifting in a raging ocean, seemingly moments away from being torn apart.

“Don’t celebrate too soon!”

To everyone’s surprise, despite being caught in such a perilous situation, Lin Xun remained as calm and composed as ever. His hands moved swiftly and continuously, forming intricate seals, as he flawlessly executed his dao and dharma.

Even though he had fallen into a passive position, Luo Chen was unable to land a decisive blow on him.

Frowning, Luo Chen intensified his assault.

Between them, divine power raged, and countless laws emerged, morphing into the sun, moon and stars that filled the sky.

The battlefield had become a realm of pure dao and laws, where earthshaking collisions shook the void like ancient stars collapsing, sending shockwaves across the heavens. It was a truly terrifying spectacle.

Very quickly, people noticed that although Lin Xun remained in a passive position, Luo Chen still couldn’t break through his resistance, let alone kill him.

“That boy is unusually stubborn.” Luo Xingfeng’s expression darkened slightly. He had expected a swift and decisive victory for Luo Chen.

At this stage in the battle, Luo Chen’s patience had worn thin. He no longer wished to be entangled with Lin Xun. With a thunderous roar, his hair stood on end and his entire being seemed to erupt in flames. Billions of star-like dao flames burst forth, illuminating the nine heavens in a dazzling spectacle.

Such power sent a chill down many spines. His aura alone was so terrifying that it was beyond belief, so overwhelming it made the void tremble, so menacing and domineering that it dominated the battlefield.

“Die!”

He threw a punch with explosive force, and billions of astral flames surged forth, condensing into a fist seal as brilliant as the sun. Its radiance seemed to melt the very fabric of space, leaving behind a trail of countless black holes. The devastating incineration force raged, making even many old antiques tremble.

This punch alone was powerful enough to split heavens and earth, to incinerate all things in the world. It was invincible, radiating a power capable of annihilating everything in its path!

Xi, Big Yellow and the others felt their hearts tighten.

Even Bai Lingzhen, Wu Xiuxing and the others were visibly shaken. If they hadn’t witnessed it with their eyes, they would have never believed that a fourth realm Supreme Emperor could unleash such heaven-defying power!

The power of that punch triggered a feeling of impending doom within them.

“Not bad!” Luo Xingfeng’s eyes flickered with an odd glint, and a satisfied smile spread across his face.

Bang!

The moment Luo Chen’s devastating punch neared Lin Xun, it suddenly disintegrated into a cascade of light, dispersing like mist in the wind. Lin Xun’s robes fluttered from the residual force, yet he remained completely unharmed.

What happened?

The battlefield fell into stunned silence, and many nearly leaped up in shock.

Luo Xingfeng’s triumphant expression stiffened, the smile freezing on his lips.

Even Luo Chen’s pupils contracted in disbelief, as if he had been struck by lightning. How could...how could a strike that contained all of his power be destroyed so easily?

At this moment, Lin Xun had already vanished from where he stood—only to reappear directly in front of Luo Chen. Seizing the moment while Luo Chen was still in a daze, Lin Xun unleashed a palm strike.

Luo Chen let out a roar, frantically mustering all his strength to counter it. His eyes flashed with an urgent glint.

However, at this moment, his full-strength defense crumbled like paper. Lin Xun’s palm strike tore through his power and sent dazzling sparks bursting in all directions.

Compared to before, the power of this strike was more than twice as powerful.

This is bad!

Luo Chen’s heart pounded wildly and his face paled. A chilling realization struck him. He had been tricked.

Unfortunately, just as he attempted to retreat, Lin Xun’s massive hand suddenly shot forward and grabbed him by the neck, holding him up into the air like a helpless chick.

It happened so quickly and suddenly. Xi and Big Yellow and even Luo Xingfeng were all completely caught off guard.

By the time they reacted, Luo Chen, the dazzling supreme Emperor from the Luo Clan’s younger generation had already been firmly subdued!

Meanwhile, a cold chuckle escaped Lin Xun’s lips as he met Luo Chen’s resentful, enraged gaze. “Little idiot, that battle just now was just to amuse you?”
