Chapter 2369 Ignorant as Frogs at the Bottom of a Well

“Attack!”

Hundreds of quasi-Emperors launched their assault in unison, determined not to give Lin Xun even a moment to retaliate. Divine treasures burst forth like blazing comets, weaving brilliant arcs through the sky, each one wrapped in terrifying dao arts and laws, all converging upon Lin Xun.

The sight alone was enough to strike fear into gods and demons.

Yet Lin Xun remained composed, calm and indifferent. There was not a flicker of emotion in his dark eyes.

At that moment, he raised a single finger and casually pointed forward.

With that one motion, the elder of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan, an old monster at the third level Quasi-Emperor Stage, who had been shouting the loudest suddenly exploded in midair!

Scarlet blood rained down as severed limbs flew, dyeing the heavens red.

Then, Lin Xun gently traced his finger through the air. A radiant ray of sword qi that was a thousand feet long swept forth. In the blink of an eye, it cleaved more than a dozen quasi-Emperors cleanly in half at the waist, as easily as harvesting grass.

Blood poured like a waterfall, accompanied by anguished screams echoing across the sky.

Countless spectators turned ashen, horrified, their scalps going numb.

Too strong!

Everything they thought they knew had been overturned!

At this moment, as if dissatisfied with the pace, Lin Xun leapt into the sky.

He suddenly waved his sleeve.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Countless brilliant rays of Taixuan sword qi erupted like a violent storm. The sword light surged beyond the nine heavens, engulfing the sky in blinding radiance.

Then, they descended like an earth-shaking storm of swords!

Boom!

Over thirty quasi-Emperors were slaughtered on the spot. Their bodies were torn apart and reduced to ashes in the torrential sword rain, wiped from existence.

A moment ago, Lin Xun stood calm and unassuming, but once he unleashed his power, everyone realized what it meant to be invincible. This was what it meant to crush all enemies with absolute power!

The combined might of hundreds of quasi-Emperors was enough to plunge the lower world into despair.

However, under Lin Xun’s devastating counterattack, they were effortlessly annihilated like weeds in the blink of an eye.

All those so-called treasures and dao techniques all crumbled like paper in an instant. No matter how formidable one’s cultivation or how indestructible their body, none was able to withstand a single blow.

The rain of sword qi finally dissipated from the sky.

Blood mist churned beneath the sky. Only a handful of quasi-Emperors remained. They were those who were fortunate enough to react quickly and flee at the first sign of danger.

As for the rest, more than ninety quasi-Emperors had all been wiped out!

The world fell into utter silence.

Only Lin Xun’s tall and majestic figure remained, standing proudly in the void. Dressed in black with flowing dark hair, he looked calm and otherworldly, yet the aura he radiated was like that of a god descending upon the world!

Countless onlookers were shaken to the core, their eyes unfocused, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

“Peak Master Lin...did he just kill over ninety quasi-Emperors within a few breaths? It’s an illusion, right? Why...why do I feel like I’m dreaming?”

“A dream? It must be...”

Many people were stunned, their eyes dull with disbelief.

In truth, the impact of that bloody scene was overwhelming. In the blink of an eye, over ninety quasi-Emperors were reduced to ashes in just a snap of the fingers?

Who could believe it?

How could someone in this world possess such terrifying power?

Even the experts of the older generation, those who believed they had seen the rise and fall of countless powers, were paralyzed with shock. Their scalps almost exploded and their hearts churned like a stormy sea.

In truth, they had all gravely underestimated Lin Xun from the very beginning. So when he faintly unleashed the power of his supreme Emperor cultivation, it completely turned their minds upside down!

Had the Emperors of the Ancient Nebula Road witnessed this scene, they would not have been so shaken.

After all, with the strength of Emperor Daoyuan, facing these quasi-Emperors was no different from a god crushing ants beneath his feet, which was far easier than slaughtering chickens.

“So powerful!” Shi Yu exclaimed in awe.

“Hahaha, that’s nothing. You should have seen Big Brother when he was slaughtering Emperors. Now that’s truly domineering!”

Toady and A’lu laughed.

“Peak Master Lin is invincible!”

“Amazing!”

“So satisfying!”

Excited shouts erupted from the crowd. Many older generation cultivators were stirred with emotion, as if time had gone back and they were reliving their youthful days. Scenes from the past flooded their minds. Back then, just like today, Lin Xun stood unrivaled, his brilliance blinding and his might second to none.

Soon, waves of cheering filled the air and countless cultivators from the lower world couldn’t help but raise their voices in support of Lin Xun.

For years, the Ancient Wasteland Domain factions had invaded the lower world, plundering its opportunities, seizing its fortunes, setting off countless storms of blood, and annexing one force after another. The cultivators of the lower world could barely breathe under the suffocating pressure.

Lin Xun’s earth-shattering display of power was like a beam of light piercing through the darkness, giving people hope that the tides could finally turn.

Even those who once doubted him watched in awe and reverence.

“Run!”

Amid the thunderous cheers, the remaining few quasi-Emperors had already lost their will to fight. Panic-stricken, they fled the moment they saw a chance.

“With me here, do you really think there’s still a way out?.” Lin Xun took a step forward, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

Boom!

The space around him cracked like shattered glass. A wave of terrifying destructive force rippled out like a raging storm.

The fleeing quasi-Emperors were as helpless as seaweed in a tidal wave. Amid shrill screams, their bodies were torn apart piece by piece, their spirits obliterated with their flesh.

𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

In the end, the hundreds of quasi-Emperors had been completely annihilated!

From start to finish, it only took a moment.

The atmosphere was in an uproar. Countless cultivators flushed with excitement, screaming wildly as if unleashing years of pent-up emotion and exhilaration.

Beneath the sky, Lin Xun’s tall, commanding figure stood like a legendary god, effortlessly sweeping away all before him!

What left everyone utterly stunned was how casually he wielded his power, as if he hadn’t even used his full strength. Even so, he obliterated hundreds of quasi-Emperors. It was so surreal that no one would have believed it had they not witnessed it with their own eyes.

Just what terrifying level of cultivation had Lin Xun reached?

While the crowd was erupting in cheers, a streak of blinding white blade light suddenly tore through the air, slashing toward Lin Xun with terrifying force.

It was unbelievably fast!

“That...”

A’hu, A’lu, and the others tensed, hearts seizing in alarm.

Pu!

The blade light split Lin Xun’s figure in half.

“No!”

Cries of horror rang out. A’hu and Toady turned pale. No one had expected such a sudden twist, especially right after Lin Xun wiped out all the enemies.

It happened too fast.

Seeing Lin Xun’s body ripped apart, some were so shaken they nearly collapsed on the spot.

However, the next instant, Lin Xun’s figure reappeared unharmed in the void.

Only then did everyone realize that the figure that had just been cut apart was an illusion. Lin Xun had evaded the strike with such incredible speed that it left behind an afterimage.

“Indeed, that boy has set foot into the Emperor Stage.”

A cold, commanding voice echoed from the distance, sharp as a blade. The very sound seemed to pierce the eardrum, making listeners feel as though they were about to cough up blood from the pain.

Soon after, a figure appeared out of thin air.

An old man with white hair and beard, clad in a black daoist robe, stood in the void. Radiant strands of dao laws circled him, making it seem as if he had descended from a sacred realm.

As he appeared, an indescribably terrifying Emperor’s pressure swept across the world like a raging tidal wave. Countless cultivators felt as if their minds were on the brink of collapse under the sheer weight of it.

It was a supreme pressure that struck directly at the spirit—inescapable and unshakable.

“So terrifying! That’s...that’s an Emperor! In this world...someone has finally taken that step!”

Gasps of disbelief echoed everywhere.

Even A’hu and Toady looked surprised. An Emperor had actually appeared in the lower world.

Did this mean that since the revival of aeth qi concentrations, opportunities to ascend the dao and become Emperors had also emerged?

However, what chilled everyone to the core was that this Emperor wasn’t alone!!

“Brother Mingya, Emperors aren’t so easy to deal with. But, if I, Xiu Yunzi and Fellow Daoist Yue Heng join forces, capturing that boy shouldn’t be a problem.” A light, casual voice rang out as a graceful figure in fluttering wide sleeves appeared.

Xie Shangxu, Grand Elder of the Omega Sword Sect!

The white-haired man addressed as Mingya was none other than the Grand Elder of the Spirit Treasure Holy Land.

Shua! Shua!

Two more figures emerged from opposite directions.

One was a man in a pitch-black robe, long hair draped over his shoulders, with a stern, icy expression. Xiu Yunzi was an old monster from the Mysterious Metropolis Sect.

The other was a woman clothed in a colorful robe. Her demeanor was dignified and serene, her skin glowing with crystal-clear dao light. Yue Heng was the Grand Elder of Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain.

The four radiated the majesty of the Emperor Stage. Their presence engulfed the sky and earth, suffocating the void itself. The oppressive pressure made countless cultivators’ vision darken, head buzz, as if their minds might rupture at any moment.

“Retreat!”

“Hurry!

Chaos broke out as cultivators scrambled to flee the area. No one dared to remain near the battlefield.

Four Emperors had arrived.

No one had ever imagined this scene. In fact, for many, this was their first time laying eyes on an Emperor.

A single glance at the four Emperors was enough to send waves of fear through the crowd, crushing any thought to resist.

Their aura was too supreme, too terrifying!

The celebratory atmosphere instantly froze, replaced by an endless suffocating chill.

With the arrival of four Emperors, did Lin Xun still stand a chance?

“Lin Xun, the grudge between you and our Ancient Wasteland Domain factions has dragged on long enough, but I can give you one chance now. Bow your head, admit defeat and submit. If you do, we’ll put everything behind us.” Xie Shangxu of the Omega Sword Sect spoke leisurely, his tone arrogant and condescending, as if granting Lin Xun a favor.

The other three, Mingya of Spirit Treasure Holy Land, Xiu Yunzi of the Mysterious Metropolis Sect, and Yue Heng of Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain, locked eyes on Lin Xun.

Their gazes were cold and detached, as if the outcome was already decided.

The air was suffocating, and the entire Forbidden City was blanketed in a chilling murderous aura.

However, Lin Xun only placed his hands behind his back and let out a cold sneer. “Who do you think you are? You’ve only just stepped into the Emperor Stage, yet you dare tell me to surrender? Do you really believe that becoming an Emperor gives you the right to do whatever you want?”

Even in the Ancient Nebula Road, the Great Six Courts and Great Ten Battle Clans wouldn’t dare speak to him in such a way.

Those old fools who had just become Emperors dared to act so high and mighty. Lin Xun found it laughable.

In the end, it was all a matter of perspective.

Those with limited understanding were doomed to remain ignorant like frogs at the bottom of a well!
