Chapter 2510 Never Let Fangchun Mountain Lose Face

The chanting was obscure, impossible to block out. It continuously battered Lin Xun’s mind and spirit like a relentless tide.

He felt like his head was about to explode and his face grew increasingly pale.

“Lin Xun, what’s wrong?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan and Yue Duqiu immediately noticed something was off. Lin Xun, who had been charging forward with unstoppable momentum moments ago, was now staggering, his expression twisted in pain.

Both of their expressions changed dramatically. This scene confirmed that the chanting was aimed solely at Lin Xun. Neither of them felt anything unusual.

“I’m fine.” Lin Xun said, waving a hand. Gritting his teeth against the searing pain ravaging his mind and spirit, he forced himself to press forward. They were just steps away from breaking through the sky above.

Then, the majestic and cold voice of Evil God Dishen rang out once again, “Young man, you’ve probably guessed by now that I’m sealed within the Demon Sealing Well and cannot kill you directly. But do you really think you can escape?”

Each word was like a divine hammer smashing into Lin Xun’s mind. It should be noted that Lin Xun’s state of mind had long been tempered to an unimaginably resilient level, but now it was trembling violently, on the verge of cracking and collapsing.

The turmoil in his mind disrupted his qi and cultivation. His figure swayed unsteadily, and in that brief moment of vulnerability, a pack of Emperor-level evil spirits pounced, nearly striking him down.

Xiang Xiaoyuan and Yue Duqiu instantly realized the danger Lin Xun was in. Without hesitation, they activated their trump cards and did everything they could to fend off the attacks coming from every direction to shield Lin Xun.

“Hand over the Jade Disk of Fortune!” Evil God Dishen’s voice boomed in Lin Xun’s sea of consciousness as if to shatter his spirit in one decisive blow.

Stars danced before Lin Xun’s eyes, and his whole body quivered uncontrollably. This was undoubtedly the greatest danger he had faced since entering the Great Thousand Battle Domain.

With just a voice, the enemy left him utterly defenseless. Even though he possessed immense cultivation and various trump cards, they were useless at this moment.

“Kill!”

Lin Xun roared through gritted teeth. Madness surged in his eyes as he resumed his killing spree. Unfortunately, his movements were unsteady and he staggered again, shaken by the assault on his state of mind.

“Brother Lin!” Xiang Xiaoyuan and Yue Duqiu cried out in alarm.

Seeing this, the cultivators who had earlier rushed to Lin Xun’s side with the intention of ‘helping’ immediately sensed something was wrong. Without a second thought, they retreated far away.

At the same time, countless evil spirits swarmed over from all directions like a tide of locusts, completely engulfing the area where Lin Xun and his group stood. From a distance, the figures of Lin Xun and the others could no longer be seen.

“What’s going on?”

“Is Lin Xun done for?”

“His strength must have provoked the evil spirits. There’s no way they’ll let him leave so easily...”

Across the Dao Ruins, cultivators locked in their own fierce battles gasped in shock. At this moment, nearly all the evil spirits scattered across this vast domain were swarming toward where Lin Xun stood. The area was entirely engulfed!

“Quick! The evil spirits are all targeting Lin Xun. This is our chance. Let’s fight our way out of the encirclement!” Someone bellowed.

“Run!”

Indeed, this was the perfect opportunity. Lin Xun had drawn nearly all the evil spirits to himself. With no obstructions in their paths, the others could flee freely.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Streaks of divine light shot across the sky, vanishing beyond the heavens. No one cared whether Lin Xun survived or not. To the other trial participants, the only thing that mattered was staying alive.

“What do we do now?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan and Yue Duqiu were both growing anxious. The severity of the current situation was far beyond anything they could have imagined. As they watched the army of evil spirits descend on them, a sense of despair welled up in their hearts.

Despite that, even in such a desperate situation, they continued to fight with all their might, doing everything they could to fend off the attacks coming from all directions and shield Lin Xun.

Unfortunately, Lin Xun’s condition showed no signs of improvement.

The power of Evil God Dishen was too bizarre and domineering. The obscure chanting of scriptures echoed incessantly, battering Lin Xun’s spirit and mind like a relentless tide.

It was no exaggeration to say that it was a miracle that he was still holding on. This was only possible because his mind and spirit were incredibly strong and resilient.

If it was anyone else of the same cultivation stage, they wouldn’t have lasted this long. Their minds and spirits would have shattered, leaving behind nothing but a lifeless corpse!

“I must admit that I’m surprised your mind and spirit has been tempered to such a degree. But it changes nothing, you can’t escape your fate!” The ice-cold voice of Evil God Dishen rang again.

Those words were like an endless thunder crashing down, slamming into Lin Xun’s mind, aiming to shatter it once and for all.

At that moment—“Ahh, what is with all this ghostly wailing? Will it ever end? Can you let me sleep?!”

Suddenly, a furious roar erupted in Lin Xun’s mind. It was like a shrew screaming in the streets, blazing with rage and thundering with fury.

Boom!

In an instant, the obscure chanting ceased, and the strange and overbearing power that had been tormenting Lin Xun’s mind was swept away.

“Huh? Who are you? How dare you interfere in my affairs!” The voice of Evil God Dishen rang out, carrying a hint of bewilderment.

“Grandson, I’m your ancestor!” the furious voice cursed. It was crude, filled with indignation, and dripped with scorn.

However, this single vulgar outburst was enough to shatter the power of Evil God Dishen, sweeping it clean from Lin Xun’s mind.

Lin Xun suddenly snapped out of the brink of collapse, and his entire body felt inexplicably light.

“A successor of Fangchun Mountain is being bullied to this extent...absolutely infuriating!”

The furious voice roared again in Lin Xun’s mind. “Little Junior Brother, I’m going to break our agreement just this once. If I don’t give this whining brat a good beating, I, Ling Xuanzi, will lose all face!”

Boom!

The next moment, Lin Xun’s body jolted as a figure shot out from the Dao Endless Pagoda. He wore an azure robe, his black hair casually tied behind his head. With features as refined and elegant as jade and an air of effortless grace, he looked like a handsome young man.

It was none other than Ling Xuanzi, the fourth successor of Fangchun Mountain!

However, his refined face was now twisted with fury, and his eyes blazed with righteous anger.

Lin Xun was dumbfounded.

He had sealed his Fourth Senior Brother Ling Xuanzi inside the Dao Endless Pagoda. How could he have broken its suppression and emerge on his own?

“Don’t worry, the agreement we made back then still stands. But right now, I must uphold the dignity of our Fangchun Mountain...I can be suppressed, but our Fangchun Mountain’s reputation...must never be!”

Enraged, Ling Xuanzi rubbed his brows hard, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

Boom!

In the next instant, an unfathomably terrifying aura erupted from his body, soaring straight to the nine heavens, like a sovereign descending to rule the cosmos. The dense army of Emperor-level evil spirits nearby evaporated on the spot, disintegrating like frost beneath the scorching sun!

The terrifying might and aura completely stunned Xiang Xiaoyuan and Yue Duqiu.

Who...who is this divine being?

“Just you wait!”

Ling Xuanzi extended a hand, and the Three Thousand Vicissitudes appeared in his grasp. Then, with a flash, he turned into a radiant streak of divine light and shot toward the depths of the Dao Ruins.

Lin Xun’s expressions flickered.

Back in Return Dominion, he had already known how terrifying his fourth senior brother was. He was regarded as an unrivaled existence throughout the ages. Even after being sealed away for countless years, his cultivation had since reached an unimaginable level.

The only reason Lin Xun was able to suppress Ling Xuanzi back then was simply because of a wager. He had defeated him in five dao duels and Ling Xuanzi willingly admitted defeat and entered the Dao Endless Pagoda.

Moreover, in those five dao duels, Ling Xuanzi had even suppressed his own cultivation to ensure fairness. Otherwise, Lin Xun was fully aware that he would have stood no chance against his fourth senior brother.

In short, aside from his crooked mindset, his fourth senior brother was without a doubt one of the most exceptional successors Fangchun Mountain had ever produced!

Just moments ago, he had only uttered an angry curse yet it was enough to wipe away the chanting and obliterate the power of Evil God Dishen.

Then, he casually broke through the suppression of the Dao Endless Pagoda and stormed off in a rage to confront Evil God Dishen...

All of this proved just how powerful Ling Xuanzi truly was!

“Brother Lin, he...who is he?” Yue Duqiu stammered. His tongue seemed tied in knots, and his mind was reeling from the overwhelming presence Ling Xuanzi had exuded.

Xiang Xiaoyuan’s eyes also sparkled with disbelief.

So powerful!

With a mere release of his aura, the surrounding armies of evil spirits had been swept away, and more than half was annihilated. He was like a divine being descending upon the world.

“My senior brother, his daoist name is Ling Xuanzi,” Lin Xun stated casually.

He was trying to compose himself. Having just endured a near-fatal crisis, his emotions were still churning wildly.

Xiang Xiaoyuan and Yue Duqiu stared in astonishment. “Wait...isn’t that the fake name you used?”

Lin Xun explained, “My senior brother isn’t well known. I just borrowed his name. It’s not like it offends anyone.”

He wasn’t lying. Back then, Ling Xuanzi hadn’t yet shone in the Ancient Nebula Road before being suppressed by the Lord of Fangchun Mountain. As a result, very few people knew of him. Besides, this was the Great Thousand Battle Domain. It was almost impossible anyone here would recognize the name.

“Should we get out of here first?” Xiang Xiaoyuan couldn’t help but ask.

There were still countless Emperor-level evil spirits nearby. Though many had been destroyed by Ling Xuanzi, more were pouring in like a tide. These creatures had no intellect and no fear of death.

“Alright.” Lin Xun nodded and began his slaughter once again.

Meanwhile, in a dark, suffocating forbidden zone, Ling Xuanzi’s figure shone brilliantly like a shaft of divine light. He tore through the darkness as he charged straight toward the ancient well in the depths of the forbidden area.

His body exuded an unmistakable aura of hostility, and his handsome face was marked by fury. Waves of obscure chanting echoed through the forbidden zone like a tsunami, their power countless times greater than what Lin Xun had experienced earlier!

“Grandson, your ancestor is here, and you still dare to bark?” Ling Xuanzi roared in fury, thrusting out his palm.

Boom!

Countless golden thunderbolts as vast as rivers of stars and cascading waterfalls rained down from the heavens. The deafening rumble shook the heavens, carrying divine power capable of annihilating everything.

In the blink of an eye, the eerie chanting was drowned out and scattered by the onslaught of thunder.

Shua!

Ling Xuanzi descended like a blinding beam of divine light, landing right before the ancient well. The earth quaked beneath him, and the surrounding void suddenly exploded and collapsed, unable to bear the terrifying might unleashed from his body.
