Chapter 2313 Bloody Battle at the Mountain Gate

The Ancient Nebula Underworld was thrown into a tremendous uproar.

“The three Emperor Ancestors have been with Earth Treasury Realm as far back as the ancient era. It’s hard to believe that they were killed before they could even reach Holy Illumination Ancient Sect!”

Countless horrified voices rang out.

The battle of Blood Dome Mountain had only ended three days ago, and now, three days later, news that the three Emperor Ancestors, Daxu, Kuming, and Duchen died was already spreading. The shock factor of such successive news was undoubtedly through the roof.

“Who could have done this?”

"It’s definitely related to Emperor Daoyuan!"

"Oh my god, what’s going to happen to the Ancient Nebula Underworld?"

"What exactly is...Emperor Daoyuan trying to do?"

Various discussions occurred in the many territories of the Ancient Nebula Underworld. Everyone was in shock due to the news.

After learning the news, the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect bigwigs, headed by Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong, were also shocked and could only look at each other in dismay.

"How is that possible?"

Many of them found this unbelievable.

After all, three Emperor Ancestors was a terrifying force that was capable of roaming the world as they pleased while looking down on everyone. Who would ever expect that disaster would befall them?

On that day, the entire Holy Illumination Ancient Sect was deeply shaken and panic began to take root within them.

Three days prior, their sect leader and seven Emperor elders had died in battle atop Blood Dome Mountain.

Now, the three Earth Treasury Realm Emperor Ancestors invited by them had died en route. It was obvious to anyone that even if Lin Daoyuan didn’t do it, it must have something to do with him!

One must know that Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong had recently ordered Lin Daoyuan to atone for his sins at Holy Illumination Ancient Sect within ten days.

Now that such a bloody incident had happened, how could anyone not suspect that this was Lin Daoyuan's revenge?

Faced with the sudden disaster, even a powerhouse like Emperor Ancestor Yuchong fell into a long silence as indescribable grief and indignation welled in his heart.

Lin Daoyuan!

Was he intending to overturn the Ancient Nebula Underworld?

He had gone too far!

"Mobilize all our forces to investigate Lin Daoyuan’s whereabouts. I want to know where he’s hiding as soon as possible!"

After a long silence, Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong erupted like a volcano, his voice filled with boundless rage and savagery.

If possible, he would love to personally wring Lin Xun’s neck.

"And you guys." Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong’s gaze swept over the bigwigs, "We can no longer passively wait here. All of you will go out and search as well. Report immediately the moment you find any traces of Lin Daoyuan!"

"Understood!" Everyone in the hall acknowledged his orders and departed in rapid succession.

Watching them leave, the furious Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong felt a surge of powerlessness.

He knew that if Lin Daoyuan wasn’t captured and killed, the situation would only continue to deteriorate. Soon, even the very foundations of Holy Illumination Ancient Sect might be shaken.

A supreme Emperor was already a heaven-defying existence. To make things worse, he was accompanied by a woman who possessed the power to kill even Emperor Ancestors. Was there anyone who would be able to find them if they wished to be hidden?

If they were determined on vengeance, was there any sect that could withstand their dreadful might?

The Holy Illumination Ancient Sect’s forces were spread out over the Ancient Nebula Underworld. Who could guarantee that these forces would not be attacked and eradicated?

As long as they failed to track down Lin Xun, Holy Illumination Ancient Sect would never have peace!

"Lin Daoyuan...Lin Daoyuan...don't let me catch you, or I will make sure you wish you were dead!"

A sinister and chilling expression appeared on Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong's youthful face.

......

Heaven Illumination Peak, outside the mountain gate.

"Big Yellow, you’re injured?" Lin Xun asked in surprise when he saw Big Yellow return limping as if its leg was broken.

Big Yellow bared its fangs and snarled, "Those bald donkeys were too treacherous. In their final moments, they desperately fought back and that old bastard Kuming managed to take a bite out of me."

The dog groaned as it spoke. A chunk of flesh was clearly missing on its right leg. Even a sizable amount of tendon, muscle, and bone had been bitten off.

Lin Xun chuckled heartlessly. It was common for a dog to bite a person, but it was rare for a person to bite a dog.

However, he was also relieved that Big Yellow's injuries weren’t serious.

On the other hand, no injury was visible on Xi. Her graceful figure resembled a celestial woven from light itself.

Come to think of it, with Xi’s and Big Yellow’s combined combat power, it would be more strange if they failed to kill three Emperor Ancestors from Earth Treasury Realm.

While tending to its wound, Big Yellow asked, "What should we do next?"

Lin Xun answered, "Once this matter gets out, it will definitely shake up Holy Illumination Ancient Sect and Earth Treasury Realm. I predict that they will soon abandon their current passive arrangements. Let's wait and see if any rabbits jump out before making a decision."

They were naturally camping outside the rabbit burrow to wait for rabbits to appear.

At present, Holy Illumination Ancient Sect’s mountain gate was already sealed off by the Heaven Slaughtering Dao Severing array. The more rabbits that jumped out, the greater the harvest would be.

Lin Xun and the others didn’t have to wait for long. Soon, restriction undulations emerged from the mountain gate as Emperors appeared one after another. The spectacular sight immediately alarmed the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect disciples stationed nearby.

"These old rabbits are finally hopping out!" Big Yellow perked up as his eyes shone brightly.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but imagine a scene of a dog chasing a rabbit, causing him to display an odd look. He dryly coughed, stood up, and asked, "Big Yellow, can you still fight?"

Big Yellow unhappily retorted, "Of course!"

It raised its leg, showing that the wound had healed completely.

Lin Xun immediately jerked his head away and muttered, "Remember to tighten your clothes more next time."

Although Big Yellow's body was covered in a layer of Emperor armor, when the dog raised its leg, it revealed a rather inappropriate scenery...

Big Yellow turned red with shame and anger. If not for the current situation, it would have lunged forward to bite Lin Xun. This kid was becoming increasingly disrespectful to an elder like him!

"Go!"

After observing a total of nineteen Emperors emerge, Lin Xun moved without hesitation.

Rumble!

The sword cauldron rushed forth. It soared into the air, splashing millions of dao light rays that immediately shattered the peaceful and quiet atmosphere.

"Oh no!"

The Holy Illumination Ancient Sect experts’ expressions changed one after another, unable to believe their eyes.

After all, this was the entrance of their sect!

Yet, the enemy had suddenly appeared without anyone noticing. It was a sudden situation that none of them could have anticipated.

When they finally got a clear view of the enemy, the Emperors’ eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Lin Daoyuan?!"

They had left with the goal of finding Lin Xun's whereabouts. Who could have thought that the very hated enemy they were searching for would appear at their mountain gate?!

This series of unexpected events completely took the Emperor experts by surprise. It was as absurd as expecting a meat pie to suddenly fall from the sky.

It was also far too sudden.

However, Emperor experts like them naturally weren’t slow to respond. When Lin Xun rushed at them, they also attacked without hesitation.

Boom!

It was as if the world was flipped upside and even the land rippled wildly.

All kinds of Emperor weapons and dao arts were unleashed like a tsunami, flooding the area as space itself exploded.

However, how could these attacks possibly be any threat to Lin Xun? An ominous pressure emerged from the sword cauldron with a loud rumble and crushed the wave of incoming attacks, stopping them with the ease of a hot knife cutting through butter.

Clang!

A sword appeared as its cry resounded across the nine heavens and ten lands.

𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Everyone could only watch as vast and blazing sword qi emerged like a flood of a million divine rainbows. They emanated the supreme essence of the dao and rippled with elegance that seemed capable of cutting time itself.

As the sword qi unfurled, several experts who only had fifth realm Emperor cultivation and below were immediately killed on the spot.

A single sword move had killed several Emperors!

The horrific and bloody scene made the other Emperors' scalps tingle wildly. It made them suddenly recall the battle of Blood Dome Mountain and the deaths of Yu Kunzi and the others...

It forced them to remember that the person before them was a legendary supreme Emperor!

Someone roared as he retreated to the mountain gate, "Quickly return to the sect!"

The others’ expressions also changed as they hurriedly moved as well. Given their combat power, they would never dare to fight Lin Xun head-on.

"Old rabbits, it's too late to leave!" Big Yellow's excited laughter rang out.

Rumble!

A giant sky-encompassing paw accompanied by endless dao light descended and blocked the fleeing Emperors like a natural chasm.

"Attack!”

The Emperors went crazy and desperately fought. Their Emperor pressure unfurled in all directions, shaking even the land that was covered in restriction power.

They knew that the only way to survive was to escape into the mountain gate!

However, it was obvious that Lin Xun and Big Yellow had zero intention of giving them any chances.

Rumble!

Lin Xun glowed brightly as he murderously directed the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron. His unrivaled might resembled the eternal endless blue sky, boasting power that could look down on even the heavens themselves.

Swords shot forth as the sword cauldron rumbled. In the blink of an eye, a storm of blood rose on the battlefield.

Big Yellow attacked from the other direction. With every swing of his paw, an Emperor was brutally crushed to bloody goo.

As an existence that could face three Emperor Ancestors, these Emperors were all too easy to destroy.

In mere moments, nineteen Emperors were slaughtered. Their blood fell like rain, soaking the entire battlefield.

The Holy Illumination Ancient Sect disciples in the vicinity nearly went crazy as they shrieked in fear and fled in all directions.

However, the aftershocks from the battle swept forth like a storm and devoured their lives one after another.

No one below the Emperor Stage could survive!

However, the massacre and chaos didn’t last for long.

"Who dares to cause trouble at my Holy Illumination Ancient Sect?!"

With a furious earth-shaking roar, a mighty Emperor Ancestor rushed out from Holy Illumination Ancient Sect.

It was a dignified-looking man with gray hair and beard who carried an ancient sword on his back. He resembled an immortal from legend as his Emperor Ancestor aura shook the sky and scattered the clouds.

Before he could grasp the situation, however, an incomparably humongous paw appeared out of nowhere, accompanied by blinding dao light and domineering force.

"Finally caught a big fish!" Big Yellow shouted and pounced as if the fat prey it had been waiting for had finally arrived.
