Chapter 2531 Come Up and Die

This sentence resounded throughout the venue, startling everyone. Then, as if a hornet's nest had been poked, a burst of angry curses directed at Lin Xun came from all directions.

"You are really tired of living!"

"You all heard it, this guy is looking for death!"

"If the heavens want to kill someone, it will make him crazy first. Lin Xun, I will gladly watch with my own eyes on how you are slaughtered!"

The various threats and curses were overwhelming. However, Lin Xun didn't care. His expression was calm as he glanced at the owners of those voices one by one. Some were familiar enemies, and some were completely unfamiliar faces.

Hmm?

Suddenly, he noticed that the cultivators near to where he was standing were subtly avoiding him, as if they were afraid of being implicated by him. It was human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm.

Lin Xun didn't take it to heart. However, after the battle, Defending the Ring, began, if he encountered these people, he would definitely not be polite.

As time went by, more and more cultivators came out of the white mist and arrived at the forty-nine arenas. Lin Xun noticed that someone had tried to change the arena they were at, but was blocked by an invisible force, forcing him to stop.

From this it was obvious that the forty-nine arenas were isolated from each other. This meant that if the battle for Defending the Ring began, the enemies he was going to face were the cultivators in the arena where he was assigned.

Ding!

Suddenly, a bell crisply echoed, sounding crystal clear. On the stone pillar on one side of the Central Immortal Court, where the words ‘a golden bell was struck to gather immortals together’ were engraved, a phantom of a golden bell emerged, shining brightly.

Instantly, in front of the forty-nine arenas, the Battlefield of the Gods seemed to have awakened from the silence of eternity, emitting a vast and rich fighting spirit that filled the space. The cultivators standing in the arenas all felt a magical power being sent into their consciousness at this moment.

The battle for Defending the Ring.

Life or death competition.

Total of seven days.

No other participants after the deadline ends.

All of a sudden, the whole place was in an uproar, and everyone realized that the rumors were indeed true! The mystical transmission had presented the rules of the battle for Defending the Ring to the cultivators, making them understand instantly.

"In the Battlefield of the Gods, you cannot use any power other than your own and your own life-bound treasures..." Lin Xun raised his eyebrows.

Obviously, this meant that some trump cards could not be used. To successfully participate, you could only fight with your own combat power!

"Hahaha, Lin Xun, without your trump cards, what else can you use to threaten Ancestors of a Path?" Nan Yongqiang was the first to laugh out loud as he was extremely happy by this revelation.

The other people present also subtly glanced at Lin Xun. In the past, he had killed many Ancestors of a Path, but almost all of the people here believed that this was done through some forbidden trump cards. Otherwise, with his own strength at the eighth realm Supreme Emperor Stage, he would not be an opponent for an Ancestor of a Path.

Now, in this trial, the fact that he couldn’t use those trump cards was undoubtedly the equivalent to weakening him by a large factor!

Lin Xun did not say anything in response. Instead, he sneered inwardly. Eighteen years ago, it was indeed difficult for him to kill an Emperor Ancestor in a head-on confrontation using his own strength.

However, things were different now. Even if he did not use the extinguishing law fire, killing an Emperor Ancestor on his own was as easy as pie!

"Why don't you talk? Hahaha, there is no way out now, you deserve to be in trouble today, Lin Xun!" Nan Yongqiang laughed very happily. His mood soared, and he was full of confidence.

Lin Xun couldn't help chuckling and then he sighed, "Old man, if these are your last words, then they are destined to become a joke that will be passed down through the ages. In the future, when the descendants of your Nan Clan see this sentence engraved on your tombstone, they will die of shame and anger."

Everyone became speechless.

Nan Yongqiang almost couldn't believe his ears and laughed angrily for a long time. Finally he pointed at Lin Xun and snarled, "Little bastard, you..."

Lin Xun interrupted him, "The more nonsense you talk, the faster you’ll die. Since you really don't want to live anymore, I will see you on the Battlefield of the Gods later."

Nan Yongqiang's eyes widened, and he felt a vein throbbing on his forehead as if he was about to explode.

"Elder, why bother getting angry over a dead man? I will kill him first later!" Nan Tianzheng looked grim.

Ding!

Another bell sound echoed between heaven and earth. In front of the forty-nine arenas, a magnificent golden immortal light emerged, paving a road leading directly to the Battlefields of the Gods.

At the same time, seven stars appeared above the sky, shining brightly, representing the seven-day deadline. Every day, a star would go out.

The people in the forty-nine arenas all became restless, and some cultivators who had been waiting for a long time rushed to the golden path immediately. Sure enough, in just a moment, their figures appeared in their respective Battlefield of the Gods!

However, before Defending the Ring began, each arena was surrounded by white mist, as if it had turned into forty-nine completely isolated small worlds. The scenes in other arenas could no longer be seen.

No one paid any attention to this, and all looked at the Battlefield of the Gods that was connected to their own arena! Everyone knew that only those who could win ten consecutive victories could enter the second level, Big Hunt.

The huge Battlefield of the Gods was engraved with the traces of time, but it was giving off a feeling of eternity as it stood in the void. This was a stage to determine the strongest!

"Lin Xun, get your ass up here!"

A figure arrived on the stage first. Unexpectedly, it was neither Nan Yongqiang nor Nan Tianzheng, but instead a man in a silver robe. He had a majestic figure, a cold expression, and did not bother to conceal his hatred.

He also came from the Nan Clan and was named Nan Tianba. He was at the eighth realm Emperor Stage and was not much weaker than Nan Tianzheng.

"Tianba, you are too impatient." Nan Tianzheng felt a little helpless for not being able to be the first to go on stage.

Nan Tianba said, "Brother, why use a battleax to kill a chicken? I can deal with Lin Xun myself."

His voice was full of arrogance and pride.

"Alright. Tianzheng, you have already become famous so it's time to give Tianba a chance to make a name for himself. Lin Xun is notorious and has a long history of bad deeds. Killing him can barely be regarded as a stepping stone for Tianba,” Nan Yongqiang said as he twirled his beard.

The other cultivators in the arena fell silent and had consciously stepped back. Everyone could see that the Nan Clan was determined to eliminate Lin Xun as soon as possible.

"Then you have to be careful. Although this person cannot use some killer moves that can threaten Emperor Ancestors, his own combat power should not be underestimated. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to leave his name on the Mythic Ranking. To deal with him..."

Nan Tianzheng began to give out advice. Although he wanted to kill Lin Xun, he obviously did not underestimate him and seemed very calm. However, before he could finish, Nan Tianba interrupted him with a smile, "Okay, I already know all this, Brother, I have been on the Mythic Ranking for thousands of years!"

He looked at Lin Xun suddenly, "Why are you still standing there? Come up and die!"

The sound of his voice was like thunder, resounding through the universe.

Clang!

A purple spear appeared in his palm, releasing a sharp and unparalleled light. This made him resemble a peerless war god, domineering and as high as the sky.

Many people’s expressions changed. This Nan Tianba seemed a little arrogant, but he was also obviously a ruthless person with unparalleled power and terrifying depths.

At this moment, Lin Xun walked onto the golden path, and his tall figure instantly appeared on the Battlefield of the Gods. The law power that had suppressed him disappeared, and his cultivation awakened like a silent ancient beast, roaring and galloping all over his body. Feeling this familiar power, he couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh.

Boom!

Nan Tianba waved the purple spear and rushed to kill immediately. He was obviously impatient and did not intend to waste any time. He wanted to kill Lin Xun and become famous!

The void exploded, and the purple spear waved, rolling up a dazzling and violent thunder waterfall. Faintly, countless stars collapsed in it, transforming into a scene of doomsday.

Boom!

This attack was indeed too fierce and domineering, and the cultivators in the arena in the distance could not help but reveal their surprise. Nan Yongqiang smiled and twisted his beard, and his eyes gleamed with approval.

Nan Tianzheng also nodded secretly. It could be seen from just one attack that Nan Tianba did not take his opponent lightly. He had directly used his real strength to release his own cultivation to the extreme.

Boom~

On the Battlefield of the Gods, thunder roared, and purple light and purple war spears pierced out. At this moment, Nan Tianba was like a god, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Lin Xun stood still. His aura was steady, and he didn't move, as if he was shocked by this sudden attack. It looked as if he would be completely smashed in the next moment! The contrast in power was too great.

Seeing that the unparalleled and domineering attack was imminent, he still didn't move. In the splashing rain of light, the purple war spear suddenly stopped in midair and couldn't move forward.

Furthermore, Nan Tianba, who was rushing over, also stopped suddenly, as if he had hit an indestructible barrier. His figure almost couldn't stand it. His eyes immediately widened.

In the arena, everyone was stunned. At some point, Lin Xun's hand had firmly grasped Nan Tianba's spear. His slender fingers were like the shackles of heaven, preventing the purple spear from advancing a single inch!

"This..."

Everyone's faces changed. That terrifying attack was caught by a bare hand? This was completely beyond their expectations!

"Break!"

Nan Tianba shouted, and his power was being pushed to the extreme, making his figure steam with endless purple dao light. He was surrounded by countless purple laws, and his entire body seemed to be burning. However, the purple spear still did not move!

Damnit!

Nan Tianba's expression completely changed. Just when he was about to abandon the spear and use another fighting method, he watched in horror as Lin Xun exerted even more force. The weapon was twisted and pulled on violently. His purple spear flew out of his hand, and he was being uncontrollably dragged towards Lin Xun!

At the same time, Lin Xun slapped out his palm. A loud

thwap

resounded. Nan Tianba had been turned into a spinning top. He rolled more than ten times in the air and fell hard hundreds of feet away. His whole body twitched violently, blood spurted from his mouth and nose, and his cheek bones had been broken and collapsed.

The entire Battlefield of the Gods trembled violently. This slap was so earth-shaking that it shook the universe!
