Chapter 2304 Underestimating Emperor Daoyuan

Big Yellow’s eyes turned ice-cold in an instant.

“Roaring Battle Emperor, you’re bold to show up here. Don’t you know? Your master has fallen in Kunlun.” A man with a menacing expression sneered, his voice dripping with mockery.

Laughter rippled through the gathered figures. To them, Copper Sparrow House, without its lord, had already crumbled into irrelevance.

What could Roaring Battle Emperor possibly do alone?

“Everyone, tell me, if we were to deal with Roaring Battle Emperor now, wouldn’t that be called...kicking the dog while it’s down?” A woman smiled sweetly. Her words sent a chorus of laughter rippling through the crowd.

Of note, many others were studying Lin Xun!

Emperor Daoyuan!

Who could forget the young man who ascended to the Supreme Emperor Stage in the Nirvana of Transcendence, seizing the greatest fortune of all?

The endless calamity of ruin, the lotus blooms in solitude.

For the past three years, countless major factions across the starry sky had been frantically searching for him—The first supreme Emperor in one hundred thousand years.

Some wanted revenge, while others coveted the fortune he possessed.

Unfortunately for them, he had vanished without a trace. For three years, not a single soul had seen him.

Now, he had suddenly reappeared at the Uncertain Blood Sea!

All of a sudden, countless old monsters were stirred, their eyes flickering with unspoken intent.

“Everyone, be careful. Emperor Daoyuan has already reached the third realm Emperor Stage, and since he walks the Supreme Path, he likely is capable of killing even fifth realm Emperors.” The words came from an old black-robed monk of the Earth Treasury Realm, his aura masked and his voice calm yet solemn.

His statement made many eyes narrow in contemplation. For the past one hundred thousand years, Lin Xun was the first person to ascend to the Supreme Emperor Stage. He had captivated the world and he was an anomaly that no one could ignore.

The question of how powerful were supreme Emperors had sparked heated discussions throughout the world, yet no one had ever been able to give a definitive answer.

After all, few had truly witnessed the power of a supreme Emperor firsthand. Furthermore, in the past one hundred thousand years, Lin Xun was the only one to reach this level.

While no one knew the true extent of his power, one fact was undeniable—Supreme Emperors were unmatched among their peers and could even kill those stronger than themselves.

Thus, no one dared to dismiss the warning of the Earth Treasury Realm old monk.

Even though they acknowledged Lin Xun’s strength, their limited knowledge meant they were still unaware of just how terrifying Emperor Daoyuan standing before them was.

“How about this?” Someone suggested. “Let’s kill the vicious dog together first, then deal with Lin Daoyuan.”

“Agreed.”

“Good plan. Roaring Battle Emperor is the biggest threat. He must not be underestimated.”

Hearing this, Big Yellow let out a furious grin, revealing a mouthful of sharp, gleaming white teeth. “Kid, I’ll leave these pests to you. I’m heading into the Dark Lair to check the situation.” There was a chilling undertone to its words, as if it was forcibly restraining his murderous intent.

The old Emperor monsters stiffened, their expressions blank with shock. Did they hear that right? He was leaving Lin Daoyuan to deal with all of them alone?!

Had the vicious dog lost its mind!?

Lin Xun simply nodded and said, “Go, don’t waste time.”

A dozen Emperors together might be a terrifying force in the Ancient Nebula Underworld.

However, for Lin Xun and Big Yellow, who had once turned the Dragon Palace upside down and battled the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Clans, that kind of group...

Was nothing special!

Shua!

Big Yellow turned around without hesitation and teleported through the air, streaking toward the depths of the Uncertain Blood Sea.

“Trying to escape? Leave your life behind first!”

Furious roars erupted as several old monsters attacked simultaneously. Their Emperor weapons surged forth, unleashing a barrage of divine might, intent on killing Big Yellow before the dog could flee. The battle broke out instantly.

Boom!

The earth trembled, the skies churned and the coastline within three thousand miles erupted in devastation. The ocean roared as it turned into swirling vapor, and torrents of divine light crashed down like a shattered celestial river flooding the battlefield.

Lin Xun made no move to assist. He didn’t need to. He knew that level of power was not enough to stop Big Yellow.

However, that didn’t mean he stood idly by.

Clang!

A sword hum echoed across the universe like an unstoppable tide.

The sword cauldron emerged, unleashing billion rays of divine brilliance, illuminating the entire sea. Faster than any of it was the dao sword. It tore through the air in an instant.

The dao sword’s radiance was vast and boundless, wreathed in purple Phoenix Flame of Order. With just a flicker in midair—

Pu!

A third realm Emperor, the closest to Lin Xun, collapsed on the spot. A devastating torrent of sword qi surged, obliterating his body in an instant, leaving not a trace of him behind.

A wave of horror swept across the battlefield. Many of the old Emperor monsters turned pale.

In the blink of an eye, an Emperor had been slain!

This bloody spectacle sent a chill through their souls and instantly, none of them dared to focus anymore on Big Yellow, who had already teleported away. They turned all their attention to Lin Xun. Summoning their full power, they unleashed their Emperor weapons and locked their spirit sense solely onto him.

“Emperor Daoyuan, you are a rare supreme Emperor in this world. If you surrender now and swear allegiance to our Earth Treasury Realm, I will spare your life this time.”

An Earth Treasury Realm old monk spoke as endless black Buddha light radiated from his body, condensing into peculiar black lotus flowers that drifted around him.

In his palm, he held a dull, dark alms bowl, swirling with primal chaos-like law power, exuding a chilling, oppressive aura.

Lin Xun’s expression remained indifferent. “Baldy, one day, I will personally visit the Earth Treasury Realm to settle our past grudges!”

Clang!

The dao sword hummed, crisp and clear, before suddenly slicing through the air. With a single stroke it tore an unsettling rift in the sky

The sheer might of the sword strike sent a shiver through the old monk. Sensing imminent danger, he reacted without hesitation, unleashing his full power.

Boom!

Hundreds and thousands of giant black lotus flowers roared forth, each blooming with a majestic, unshakable force, exuding a powerful aura of wisdom.

Black Lotus World of Karma!

This was a supreme Emperor scripture inheritance of the Earth Treasury Realm. The black lotus, symbolizing karmic hindrance, condensed into an illusory world, as if Buddha himself was suppressing the infernal realm. It was powerful enough to entrap and destroy all malevolent beings.

However, under Lin Xun’s sword, the karma world woven from thousands of black lotuses was instantly torn apart. A deafening explosion shook the heavens, and endless light rain sputtered in all directions.

The sheer force of that sword strike sent a wave of terror through the Earth Treasury Realm old monk. His face drained of all color, and his body went cold.

“Go!”

The alms bowl soared into the air, unleashing a vast torrent of primal chaos-like Buddha light, its mighty brilliance engulfing the universe and the surrounding landscape.

Unfortunately, all of this was obliterated and dispelled by the dao sword in an instant. It could not withstand a single strike.

“This is bad!”

The old monk’s expression twisted in horror. Just as he turned to flee, the dao sword was already upon him. With a terrifying roar, its radiance submerged his figure.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The so-called indestructible body of the Earth Treasury Realm old monk began to crumble, shattering bit by bit like fragile glass. In the blink of an eye, his spirit was erased!

Everything happened within a single breath. A seventh realm Emperor, a cultivator of Earth Treasury Realm, was killed by a single sword strike.

The scene was so domineering and ruthless that shocked gasps spread like waves across the battlefield. Everyone turned pale and their minds trembled with fear.

Moments ago, the very same monk had warned them not to underestimate Lin Xun, stating that Lin Xun’s supreme Emperor strength could allow him to strike down even sixth realm Emperors despite the gap in their cultivation.

Now, everyone realized that the old monk had not been wrong. His only mistake was underestimating the true power of a supreme Emperor.

There was still a huge gap between their understanding of supreme Emperors and the reality before them!

“Kill him!”

“Attack together!”

With thunderous roars, dozens of cultivators from the Earth Treasury Realm and Holy Illumination Ancient Sect charged forward. No one dared to hold back.

This was especially true for the two eighth realm Emperors leading the charge. One was Skyborne Sword Emperor and the other was Buddha Master Tiandu. Long ago, the two were terrifying beings ranked among the Three Ultimate Assassins.

At this moment, their expressions turned ice-cold and they fought with everything they had.

Rumble!

All of a sudden, dao light roared and rumbled, Emperor treasures trembled and buzzed, and chaotic torrents of destruction surged, distorting the world itself. The void howled in agony and terrifying visions were projected across the heavens.

Even in Xiheng Region, tens of thousands of miles away, many cities shook violently and countless powerful experts trembled in horror.

After all, this was a battle between Emperors!

How could it be anything but earth-shattering?

Surrounded on all sides, Lin Xun did not retreat but instead, he launched a killing spree—fierce, bloody, and utterly domineering.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The dao sword danced like lightning, like fire and an untouchable dream, manifesting the ultimate sword dao. Its sword intent surged through the nine heavens and descended to the boundless depths, crisscrossing in the void like threads of destruction and splitting the sky apart.

With each swing, it unleashed an unrivalled force, dazzling and blinding, shaking the very heavens.

Under those relentless strikes, one old Emperor monster after another was slaughtered on the spot like chickens.

It wasn’t because they were weak, but instead because the sword qi was simply too domineering, too deadly.

Meanwhile, the Emperor weapons and dao arts hurled toward Lin Xun...were shattered like bubbles before the sword cauldron, disintegrating one after another.

That scene was like watching an impenetrable divine barrier, invulnerable and unshakable!

Within moments.

Blood erupted like ignited firecrackers across the battlefield. Eight people were slain on the spot. Each one had been mercilessly killed, their bodies obliterated within the mighty torrential storm of sword qi. No corpses remained and no bones were left behind; their very existence was completely erased.

This unstoppable massacre sent a wave of terror through Skyborne Sword Emperor and Buddha Master Tiandu.

From the very start, they had never underestimated Lin Xun, knowing full well he was a supreme Emperor. Now, as the battle truly unfolded, they realized their so-called ‘overestimating’ had been a grave miscalculation. They had not overestimated him. If anything, they had drastically underestimated him!

“Slash!”

At this moment, Lin Xun stood at the center of the battlefield, his long hair billowing, his robes fluttering, bathed in the blazing brilliance of the great dao. His divine power surged, blotting out the sky and the sun. He was like the sovereign of Emperors, reigning over the world with absolute dominance.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

The bright red blood of Emperors stained the sky red. Before long, only a handful of old monsters remained, barely clinging to life.

In a frenzy, they fought without restraint, unleashing everything they had, but it was futile.

Desperate, they even attempted to flee, but to their horror, they found that the entire world had been sealed shut by Lin Xun’s power. There was nowhere to run. There was no way to escape. Despair crept into their souls.

Boom!

Sword qi flooded the battlefield like a surging tide.

Very quickly, Skyborne Sword Emperor, a mighty eighth realm Emperor, was cut down in fury. His life-bound Emperor weapon shattered with an ear splitting explosion, its fragments scattering to the ground.

Skyborne Sword Emperor was ranked among the Three Ultimate Assassins. Long ago, in the Ancient Nebula Underworld, he had once attempted to kill Lin Xun, who had yet to become an Emperor.

Back then, he had looked down on Lin Xun as an ant and completely disregarded him.

Now, within minutes he was annihilated by a single sword strike, defeated in the very sword mastery he had prided himself on.

At this moment, only Buddha Master Tiandu remained on the battlefield.
