Chapter 2489 Astonishing! The Might of the Sword Cauldron!

Everything was clearly visible from the outside world.

Within the Red Lotus World Array, the heavens and earth seemed to be burning away. Torrents of searing flames surged like a flood, roaring and rumbled with terrifying force, creating a scene of utter devastation.

As the thirty-six Emperors of the Wen Clan entered the array and each took control of an array base, the array’s power surged dramatically.

The sea of fire blazed furiously.

Killing intent layered upon killing intent!

Just looking from a distance was enough to strike terror into the heart.

Once trapped inside, there was no escape. Everything would be reduced to ashes in moments.

Yet in the face of such peril, Lin Xun stood calm and composed, as if walking on level ground. When the killing intent closed in, he simply stretched his body slightly.

And then—

Boom!

He took a step forward, and countless dazzling sword qi’s erupted from him, shooting out from every acupoint, and a roar of swords echoed through the heavens. It was as though golden arcs had swept across the sky, slicing through the void and crossing the nine heavens in every direction.

No matter how mysterious and profound the Red Lotus World Array was, it stood no chance. It was utterly incapable of withstanding the violent and boundless downpour of sword qi.

The next moment—

The thirty-six Wen Clan Emperors stationed within the array, before they could even react, were reduced to blood mist. Their bodies and spirits were annihilated on the spot.

The unparalleled sword qi rampaged through the formation, tearing through the restrictions one after another like a hot knife slicing through butter.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, the tremendous array that was like a giant red lotus spanning a thousand feet suddenly exploded. Shards of light like burning petals scattered into the air, gorgeous and radiant.

At that moment, the entire battlefield fell silent.

One strike.

Thirty-six Emperors were annihilated! The Red Lotus World Array shattered to dust!

Even the peerless figures present were stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Wen Taolue, who had been stroking his beard atop the black qilin with a smug smile, now wore a face dark with fury and shock.

Luo Ling was also dazed, her expression shifting rapidly.

The Red Lotus World Array was a formation so terrifying it could trap even Emperor Ancestors, but it was destroyed as if it was nothing. This outcome was completely beyond her imagination.

Amid the rain of light, Lin Xun’s towering figure suddenly rushed forward. His aura surged like that of a divine being, shaking both heaven and the earth.

From afar, he seemed like a colossal abyss crashing forward, obliterating everything in his path.

In an instant, the Emperors stationed there were blown apart, their bodies shattering under the unstoppable force of Lin Xun’s assault.

Blood splattered. Screams echoed through the air.

Lin Xun showed no mercy. He intended to force his way out of the encirclement and escape the city.

Therefore, from the very first blow, he unleashed his full power. He rampaged forward, smashing countless Emperors to pieces. Broken limbs and remains flew through the air, and torrents of blood surged behind him, forming a long, gruesome trail.

Panic erupted. Faces went pale.

“The evil creature is trying to break through, stop him!”

“Attack! Now!”

“We must not let him escape—”

Earth-shaking cries echoed through the heavens.

Rumble!

The army of Emperors sprang into action, charging toward Lin Xun like a tidal wave. They formed a dense, forest-like formation and activated their treasures and divine arts, besieging him from every direction.

Those Emperors were no ordinary characters. Most hailed from the Wen, Heng, and Luo Clans, and had experienced countless battles and survived many bloodbaths. Clad in resplendent armor, they wielded extraordinary Emperor-grade weapons that radiated terrifying power.

At that moment, they attacked in unison, leaving even some peerless figures watching from afar gasping in shock.

Boom!

Amid the earth-shaking roar and rumble, Lin Xun’s rampage was finally slowed.

“Kill!” Taking advantage of the moment, the Emperors closed in from all directions. Endless golden flames, divine weapons, flying swords, and beams of starlight tore through the void, converging into a terrifying tide of force aimed squarely at Lin Xun.

What did it mean to have hundreds of Emperors strike together?

In addition, these were not just any Emperors, these were elites among elites. Even a Ninth Realm Ancestor might fall before the force of their combined attacks!

Rumble!

The world descended into chaos. The restriction powers blanketing the city were activated, rumbling thunderously.

Streaks of dao light, each stretching thousands of feet, crisscrossed the sky. The battle array loomed like a dense forest, and countless Emperor-grade weapons blazed like tightly packed divine rainbows, ripping through the air and flashing with chilling brilliance.

Every Emperor radiated divine light, and when they attacked in unison, it was as if they could shatter the sky, sink the earth and annihilate all existence!

From a distance, all one could see was the endless battle, killing cries rang through the air, while countless brilliant, blazing dao lights swept out in all directions. Emperor-grade weapons and divine arts filled the skies, forming a storm of radiance that completely enveloped Lin Xun, making it nearly impossible to see his figure.

“Fortunately, he’s not as difficult to deal with as we feared. As long as he’s trapped, the outcome is certain.” Far away, Luo Ling said with a breath of relief. Rather than fighting directly, she remained on the sidelines to oversee the array.

“I’ll hand this evil creature over to you alive, but before that, I’ll skin him, tear out his tendons, and crush his bones!” Wen Taolue said darkly, a murderous glint in his eyes.

The destruction of the Red Lotus World Array and the deaths of thirty-six Wen Clan Emperors still made his heart bleed with rage and grief.

“Fine.” Luo Ling’s expression was relaxed. As long as Lin Xun didn’t die, she didn’t care how he suffered.

Just then—

Boom!

A deafening roar erupted across the battlefield. The sound pierced the eardrums and reverberated through the soul, like an ancient bronze bell or a colossal furnace being struck. It was thunderous and soul-shaking.

Almost simultaneously, vast waves of visible great dao energy surged outward. Every Emperor touched by it trembled violently as if struck by divine lightning. Those nearest were instantly torn apart. Their bodies exploded and even their souls were annihilated.

Then it appeared.

A three-legged, two-eared cauldron erupted with monstrous power, suddenly radiating blinding brilliance and unleashing billions of rays of divine light.

In an instant, numerous unfathomably powerful Emperor-grade weapons exploded like paper, reduced to worthless scraps as their spiritual essence vanished completely.

Countless arts and techniques unleashed by the enemies evaporated like bubbles, wiped out before they could even reach the cauldron.

This divine might made the heavens and earth wail. It was utterly terrifying!

“What kind of treasure is that?” Gasps erupted across the battlefield.

“Emperor weapons can’t possibly be this powerful. Could the cauldron be an immortal-grade weapon?” Countless people were shocked.

It was just a single treasure, but its appearance alone was enough to strike fear into the hearts of nearly everyone present!

Even a distant glance made one’s blood run cold.

“Hm?” Hua Ruoxu, who was watching the battle from a distance, donned a serious expression for the first time. “This cauldron has the aura of immortality, but it is not an immortal-grade weapon...nor is it an Emperor-grade weapon. It’s really unusual.”

“It really is.” The beautiful woman in purple also looked surprised.

With their vision and insight, how could they not tell that the cauldron was no ordinary artifact. It was a rare and unparalleled creation of the heavens.

Rumble!

Back on the battlefield, the layers of encirclement were beginning to crack. The moment Lin Xun summoned the sword cauldron, its destructive power already sent a wave of terror through more than a dozen Emperors. Their souls nearly fled their bodies on the spot.

That wasn’t the end.

Just as another wave of enemies was preparing to attack, a sudden sword hum rang out from within the cauldron.

It echoed through the nine heavens.

It shook the earth.

A simple and unadorned dao sword emerged, slashing through the void.

Shua!

A boundless, majestic sword qi rose up, vast as the sky, filled with terrifying, incomprehensible power. The moment it struck, the heaven and earth shuddered, and the void collapsed.

The figures blocking Lin Xun’s path were blasted apart one after another, their bodies crushed instantly by the incomparably devastating force of the sword qi. They simply had no chance to resist.

Defensive techniques and treasures were all as fragile as paper before it!

In the blink of an eye, a thousand-foot-long path of blood opened before Lin Xun.

It was eerily empty and reeking with the thick stench of blood.

Si!

Countless gasps echoed in the air. The spectators were left stunned, their hearts shaken by the might of the sword strike.

How could such an Emperor weapon exist in this world?

The sword and the cauldron coexisted, and they were invincible, unstoppable and devastating all in their path!

That single slash had slaughtered dozens of Emperor-level beings, including seven or eight Ninth Realm Ancestors!

The battlefield fell into a deathly stillness.

Only now did people truly understand how Lin Xun had slain Heng Tianshuo, an Ancestor of a Path, and why he was able to make it onto the Mythic Ranking!

Whether it was his strength or the Emperor treasure he wielded, both were heaven-defying. He far surpassed his peers and he cut down Emperors like weeds, invincible wherever he went!

Seizing the moment, Lin Xun surged forward, crossing a great distance in a flash.

However, this thousand-mile area was shrouded in layers upon layers of restrictions. Before Lin Xun could get far, he was abruptly halted by the power of those barriers.

Boom!

Dense runes surged like a celestial river bursting its banks, crashing down toward Lin Xun with destructive force.

Lin Xun frowned and swung his sword.

Instantly, the grand restriction array trembled violently, then shattered under the crushing blow.

Just then, a furious roar rang out, “Little junior, you’re dead!”

A silver halberd cleaved through the air, carrying with it the might unique to the Ancestor Stage.

With just one strike, the vast heavens and earth were filled with dazzling silver brilliance.

The attacker was none other than Wen Taolue, an Ancestor of a Path. He had been overseeing the formation, thinking that capturing Lin Xun would be as easy as turning over a hand.

Unfortunately, the moment Lin Xun summoned the sword cauldron, the tide turned. Unable to remain passive, Wen Taolue charged into battle.

Clang!

Lin Xun blocked with the sword cauldron, and as the two forces collided, a blinding downpour of radiant light erupted.

Lin Xun’s figure wavered slightly, but he only sneered coldly, “Old man, are you trying to follow in Heng Tianshuo’s footsteps?”

As he spoke, the sword cauldron was activated, charging forward again with unstoppable force.

“Evil creature, today is the day you perish!”

Wen Taolue bellowed in fury, spurring the black qilin beneath him to race across the skies. His might surged like a divine being descending, and the silver halberd in his hand illuminated the world.

Those watching from afar gasped sharply, their hearts and minds in turmoil. The power of an Ancestor of a Path shook them to the core, and they were almost unable to bear the pressure.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Lin Xun held his ground. The two clashed dozens of times in the blink of an eye, and each impact was an earth-shattering collision. The terrifying shockwaves alone were enough to force even Emperor-level experts to retreat!

Eyes went wide. Scalps tingled.

Lin Xun...can actually go head-to-head with an Ancestor of a Path?!

Before anyone could recover from the shock, a sharp metallic clang rang out.

A sword hum erupted like a tidal wave.

The Limitless Abyss Dao Sword slashed forward once more, its blade ripping through the void

Roar!

The black qilin beneath Wen Taolue let out a miserable howl. It was struck directly by the sword qi. Its belly split open, and blood poured out like a waterfall.
