Chapter 2560 What Kind of Monster?

This battle had lasted no more than the time it took to brew a cup of tea.

One after another, supreme Emperor Ancestors fell. Mu Yi was slain by a single punch from Lin Xun’s martial will, Zhongli Xiao was cut open by Lin Xun’s sword, and Lin Feng was blasted apart by the force of Lin Xun’s fist...

In this brief window of time, wave after wave of cultivators, each worthy of being called an Emperor Stage overlord, had fallen at Lin Xun’s feet!

Terrified by his seemingly invincible divine might, many cultivators had already chosen to flee.

The outcome of the battle was as chilling as plunging into a frozen abyss.

At this moment, silence engulfed the battlefield.

By now, all those still alive had fallen into despair. How could they possibly continue to fight? They weren’t even close to being his match, and worse still, they couldn’t even escape.

Chi Pojun had attempted to flee, only to be intercepted by Lin Xun the instant he moved. Even when he activated a forbidden secret technique, he still couldn’t break through the obstruction of the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron.

It left him utterly terror-stricken.

By this point in the battle, the dead had fallen, and the fleeing had fled. Only he and Qi Lingyun remained!

Qi Lingyun’s face was deathly pale. Not long ago, she had arrogantly ordered Lin Xun to bow his head and submit, but now, that demand seemed utterly laughable.

However, unlike Chi Pojun, she remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic

In other words, she still had something to rely on.

Lin Xun didn’t stop. In fact, from beginning to end, he had never paused, not even for a moment, because he had no intention of letting any of his enemies escape.

“I’ll fight you to the death!”

Seeing Lin Xun charge over to kill, the desperate Chi Pojun let out a wild roar, as if ready to risk everything. From the center of his brows, countless dazzling beams of light burst forth, weaving together into a brilliant, eternal cosmic world that came crashing down toward Lin Xun.

Rumble!

Within that cosmic world, the sun, moon and stars revolved, while hazy primal chaos qi swirled. It was so realistic that it seemed indistinguishable from reality.

Lin Xun didn’t dodge or retreat. His figure blazed with radiant light, and with a single step, an earth shattering might surged from him, transforming into a deep and immeasurable abyss. In an instant, he shattered the heavens and earth and swallowed that seemingly real cosmic world in one fell swoop!

Pu!

Chi Pojun coughed up blood. A crack split open between his brows, leaving a ghastly wound. His bloodshot eyes were filled with disbelief. His most powerful innate divine ability had been devoured just like that. It was a crushing defeat.

“Die!” Roaring in fury, he summoned his purple gold gourd, unleashing a cascade of immortal star rivers that swept across the sky in a brilliant, blinding torrent.

Despite that, Lin Xun’s face remained cold, his killing intent thick as mountains. Without the slightest hesitation, he crushed Chi Pojun with merciless force.

At the same time, his figure flashed, and his five dao bodies rushed forth, instantly positioning themselves in front of the Central Immortal Court and launching an attack.

Boom!

Amid the falling rain of light, a figure staggered out from the void. It was Qi Lingyun. No one knew what secret art she had used, but she had turned invisible and attempted to flee unnoticed.

Unfortunately, Lin Xun saw through it all. His five dao bodies immediately moved to intercept her!

“You’ve killed so many. Even if you escape alive today, where will you run once you leave the Ruins of the Gods?”

Qi Lingyun’s eyes gleamed with icy light, her beautiful face expressionless. The once-elegant woman in the long dress, who held a scroll and carried herself with aloof poise, now looked clearly shaken. The calm expression from before had long since vanished, replaced by shadows of gloom and anxiety between her brows.

Lin Xun didn’t even look at her. His attention remained fixed on suppressing Chi Pojun.

Rumble!

𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Just like that, the same scene that had unfolded with Lin Feng repeated itself. First, the purple gold gourd was suppressed by the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron and imprisoned in the void.

Then, as Lin Xun stepped forward and unleashed a punch, brilliance burst forth. The defensive treasures on Chi Pojun shattered one after another like paper, unable to resist the devastating force. Immediately afterward, the many defensive dao arts shielding him were crushed completely by the terrifying power of the first.

Pu!

With that single blow, Chi Pojun was annihilated. His body was torn apart, exploding into a rain of blood in the void before being utterly obliterated by the sheer force. Nothing remained!

Thus, this supreme Emperor Ancestor of the Chi Clan of the Eighth Heaven Domain followed in the footsteps of Lin Feng, Zhongli Xiao, and Mu Yi...dying with hatred!

At this point, only Qi Lingyun remained within the Central Immortal Court! The heavens trembled. Chaos swept the battlefield.

Before Qi Lingyun, who had been blocked at the entrance of the Immortal Palace, one hundred and eight yellowed pages of scripture floated. Each was imprinted with immortal-like divine ancient characters that twisted and writhed like earthworms.

Lin Xun attacked with all five of his dao bodies, but still couldn’t break through the defense of those scripture pages!

It was worth noting that each of his five dao bodies now possessed combat power on par with Lin Xun’s true body. Ever since he ascended to the Supreme Ancestor level, their strength was no longer what it once was.

Even so, the yellowed scripture pages were utterly astonishing. The power they emanated was obscure and unfathomable, dissolving every dao art and attack that came their way. No matter how fierce the assault was, none of it could even touch Qi Lingyun who stood protected behind them.

In the distance, Lin Xun’s true body drew near. He stood tall and commanding, his hair dark and flowing, and his piercing, deep-set eyes fixed on Qi Lingyun.

Above his head, the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron spun slowly, pouring down countless radiant beams like a waterfall, enshrouding him in divine brilliance. He looked like a peerless immortal, exuding unmatched majesty.

Seeing this, Qi Lingyun remained as calm as ever and said lightly, “I admit I misjudged you. Why don’t we stop for now and have a proper talk? You wouldn’t want to be killed by those old guys waiting outside the Ruins of the Gods, would you?”

The pages of scripture glowed brilliantly, transforming into divine arcs that spiralled around her slender figure. Faint, obscure chanting echoed through the air, mysterious and profound. Every attack was stopped, vanishing like a bubble on contact.

At that moment, Lin Xun realized that the scroll in Qi Lingyun’s hand was most likely an ancient and unimaginably powerful treasure!

Shua!

After a moment’s thought, Lin Xun withdrew the five dao bodies. Seeing this, Qi Lingyun let out a sigh of relief and opened her mouth to speak

However, in the next instant, his true body suddenly surged forward, wielding the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron and smashing it down with terrifying force.

Boom!

Endless dao lights erupted. A terrifying, domineering might exploded from the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, causing the scripture pages to ripple and shake violently. Qi Lingyun’s expression finally changed. Her beautiful face turned pale. “Do you really have to go this far?”

Lin Xun remained silent and simply struck again.

A thunderous barrage echoed through the skies. Each time the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron crashed down, the yellowed scripture pages trembled violently. After dozens of strikes, a harsh buzzing noise rang out from them. They were clearly nearing their limit.

Although she wasn’t in immediate danger, Qi Lingyun was both shocked and furious at Lin Xun’s ruthless persistence. A flood of complicated emotions surged within her.

With her status, she was considered a dazzling presence even in the Eighth Heaven Domain, and was respected to the point that even older generation figures had to lower their heads before her!

In the domains below the Eighth Heaven Domain, she was revered as a goddess of the nine heavens, an untouchable being, exalted beyond reach. Not to mention Emperors, even Immortals had to show her deference!

She was Qi Lingyun, the daughter of the current head of the Qi Clan! With that identity, even if she had no cultivation, few would dare to offend her within the Eternal True Realm.

Yet in this moment, Lin Xun’s actions completely shattered everything she thought she knew, delivering a heavy blow to both her dignity and pride! A figure from the Ancient Nebula Road was completely unafraid of all threats. This was the first time she had ever encountered someone so brazen and fearless.

Boom!

At last, the defensive barrier formed by the yellowed scripture pages cracked under the relentless bombardment of the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron. With a loud impact, Qi Lingyun staggered backward, nearly collapsing. Blood dripped from the corner of her lips, and her beautiful face turned deathly pale.

“You dare—!”

Seeing Lin Xun’s hand reach out toward her, Qi Lingyun let out a sharp cry. In that same instant, a golden divine light burst forth from the jade pendant at her chest, which was engraved with a Yin-Yang fish design.

Buzz!

The golden light surged forth, condensing into an ancient, archaic ‘Qi’ character. It blazed in the air, unleashing a fierce, domineering brilliance of law power. This character, forged from the power of law, embodied the might of the Qi Clan, one of the Ten Immortal Giants.

A wave of indescribable, deadly danger surged through Lin Xun’s heart. There was no doubt that this ‘Qi’ character, forged from law power, contained unimaginably destructive potential. He halted instantly and struck with the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron instead.

Boom!

The sword cauldron blazed with divine light as it sealed the golden ‘Qi’ character within. A thunderous boom erupted from inside, as if a furious deity had been trapped inside, rampaging madly. The cauldron shook violently under the impact.

Then, in just a moment, all fell silent. Dao light flowed gently across the cauldron’s surface, completely unscathed. The golden ‘Qi’ character had already been forcibly crushed by the Nirvana law power, reduced to a boundless and incomparably powerful essence of law, then absorbed and devoured.

Lin Xun even noticed that the moment the law essence was absorbed, the Immortal dao law, the Netherworld law and the dormant law spirit Wushuang, were all simultaneously roused, each vying to seize it.

In the blink of an eye, the law essence split into three and was devoured by the Immortal dao law, the Netherworld law and Wushuang!

It was an unbelievable sight.

The Nirvana law power was like a primordial womb, absorbing and refining the gathered law power into nourishment. It then fed this essence to the various laws it had reshaped, allowing each one to steadily grow stronger.

Wushuang, the law spirit who resembled an innocent young girl, absorbed a portion of the ‘Qi’ character’s law essence. Her delicate fair face flushed with color, and she radiated a vibrant, renewed vitality!

Everything seemed to unfold slowly, but it all happened in the blink of an eye. When Qi Lingyun saw her life-saving trump card was suppressed so effortlessly, she felt as if struck by lightning. Her pupils dilated and her face twisted in disbelief.

The law power within that jade pendant was a ninth grade Heaven Rank law mastered by the Qi Clan. Moreover, it was no ordinary ninth grade Heaven Rank law, but one with terrifying might. Even though it was just a single ‘Qi’ character, its power could easily pose a fatal threat to even Immortals!

Now, it had been suppressed just like that!

All of this completely shattered Qi Lingyun’s understanding of power. Her body trembled, her face paled, and the look she gave Lin Xun was filled with unconcealed fear.

What kind of monster is this man?!
