Chapter 2599 Forever Fall Forbidden Land - Law Fire

Liangyi Hall.

A hint of satisfaction spread across Zhu Hun’s lips when he saw the map Nie Qingrong handed to him.

"This map saved your life." He put away the map and glanced at her, causing her to involuntarily jerk under his ice-cold gaze.

"As for the tribute, I'll leave it to the two of you." Zhu Hun gazed at He Youfang and Hong Yinghe.

"Is Elder going now?" He Youfang cupped his hands together. Although he was a member of the He Clan, he still had to be respectful when facing an Immortal expert.

"It's better to be early than late for such things, not to mention, this esteemed one came here for this very law power." Zhu Hun softly sighed. "It's a shame that You Qianheng died too early. Otherwise, given the merit of presenting this map, this esteemed one wouldn't mind bringing him to the Sixth Heaven Domain to cultivate."

A wave of unease washed over Nie Qingrong.

Thankfully, Zhu Hun didn't pursue the matter any further. Instead, he walked out of the hall. "Everyone, this esteemed one will be taking my leave first."

He vanished while his voice continued to echo in the hall.

"Nie Qingrong, why didn't you inform us earlier that you had such a map?" With Zhu Hun now gone, He Youfang's expression immediately darkened. "Do you understand what it would mean to capture a law power?"

Nie Qingrong lowered her head and said, "Your subordinate only just obtained the map, so it was too late to make a report."

"Hmph!"

He Youfang said, "If you reported this in advance, you could have earned great merit that would have allowed you to easily enter the Sixth Heaven Domain to cultivate, but now, the Zhu Clan practically had a freebie land on their lap. I see now that you deserve to be stranded in the First Heaven Domain for the rest of your life!"

With that, he too left with a swish of his sleeves. Nie Qingrong's face paled as a chill crept up in her heart. She realized that He Youfang, who represented the He Clan, was now displeased with her because of this matter!

"What an amazing opportunity."

The Heavenly Inspector from the Hong Clan, Hong Yinghe, also let out a soft sigh. It was unknown whether she was feeling sorry for Nie Qingrong or regretful about her missing such a golden opportunity.

Nie Qingrong lowered her head, not daring to say anything. So what if she was an Emperor Ancestor? So what if she was the principal of Liangyi Academy? In the eyes of these Heavenly Inspectors, she was still no different from a disposable pawn!

"Elder Sister, are you okay?" It wasn't until Hong Yinghe also disappeared into the hall that Leng Qingxue stepped forward and gazed in concern at the downcast-looking Nie Qingrong.

"I'm fine." Nie Qingrong shook her head as she forced a smile. Today's matter might seem to have been completely resolved, but it left her rather upset. It was only after facing these bigwigs from the Sixth Heaven Domain that she realized how small and pathetic she was in their eyes!

"Elder Sister, Dao Brother mentioned that he would follow Zhu Hun when he leaves..."

Before Leng Qingxue could finish, Nie Qingrong's expression changed drastically as she exclaimed, "That’s too dangerous! This won’t do, I must stop him!"

Immortal experts were existences that could summon the wind and rain in the Sixth Heaven Domain. While Lin Xun might be powerful, how could he possibly be a match for Zhu Hun? However, his residence was already empty when she arrived there with Leng Qingxue.

"He...actually went..." Nie Qingrong looked as if she had lost her soul.

Leng Qingxue comforted her sister, "Elder Sister, since Dao Brother chose to do this, he must have something up his sleeve. I have a feeling that the Zhu Clan's Heavenly Inspector might suffer a big loss this time."

After a while, Nie Qingrong returned to her senses and suddenly remembered some rumors.

Several years ago, an unprecedented bloody storm occurred in the vicinity of the Ruins of the Gods in the Great Thousand Battle Domain due to a certain legendary Fangchun Mountain disciple.

At that time, even Immortal experts died in swathes, let alone ordinary Emperor Ancestors or supreme Emperor Ancestors! All of this started from Lin Xun!

His martial uncle, Kong Jue, had shocked the world in a single battle, drawing the attention of the Eternal True Realm once again. His senior brother, Ling Xuanzi, also rose to fame in the battle, creating quite a stir in the Eternal True Realm!

While Lin Xun might seem to have been overshadowed by his martial uncle and senior brother, after carefully analyzing his battle accomplishments, one would realize how dazzling he had been in the Ruins of the Gods.

Even powerhouses from the Donghuang’s Four Clans had been utterly crushed, while even high-ranking experts from the Eighth Heaven Domain had been slaughtered one after another! How could such a formidable individual possibly be measured by common sense?

At this thought, the anxiety and worry in Nie Qingrong's heart subsided substantially and she said, "Qingxue, maybe you're right..."

......

Whoosh!

Amidst the vastness of heaven and earth, Lin Xun's large sleeves fluttered as he moved through the air. He had moved soon after Zhu Hun departed. However, he didn’t follow behind because it was too risky. If the other party noticed, endless troubles would certainly follow.

Instead, he chose a different route that would also lead him to the vicinity of the Withered Willow Mountain Range.

Although my current combat power should be below his, he can’t compare to me in terms of subjugating law power...

I’ll have to observe and act accordingly. It will naturally be best if I can somehow find a chance to kill him, but even if I can’t, I’ll still make sure to seize the law power...

Lin Xun moved at full speed while pondering.

He couldn’t rely on Martial Uncle Kong Jue at the moment. After being injured outside the Ruins of the Gods several years ago, Kong Jue had fallen into a deep slumber inside the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron.

While Lin Xun was incredibly worried, he couldn’t help but find the situation rather comical.

It was because his martial uncle snored like thunder while sleeping. If it weren’t for the fact that he was unable to awaken, anyone would have suspected that his injuries were far less serious than they seemed.

Xia Zhi was in a similar state of deep slumber with her slender figure covered by Nirvana law power.

Although Lin Xun had inspected her condition many times, he had no inkling of when she would fully recover from her internal injuries or how much longer she would stay unconscious.

In other words, he could only rely on himself for the current operation.

Instead of being afraid, Lin Xun felt a vague sense of excitement. It was a type of desire to test himself in battle.

He had been keeping a low-profile for several years due to his injuries. Although he still wasn’t fully recovered, he could no longer find any worthy opponents at the same realm in the First Heaven Domain!

While the likes of You Qianheng, Yong Feidu, and Rui Taifu were considered top-tier experts in the First Heaven Domain, they were no different from wild chickens or dogs in Lin Xun’s eyes.

Moreover, supreme Emperor Ancestors were extremely rare in the first six Heaven Domains, making them practically akin to phoenix feathers or unicorn horns. In other words, he was practically invincible in the First Heaven Domain!

Fortunately, an expert called Zhu Hun had appeared. Although he was a Heavenly Longevity Realm Immortal expert, Lin Xun was itching to test his newly rebuilt cultivation against this formidable foe.

A few days later, under the dusky sky, a bitingly cold wind raged across the void, emitting ghostly wolf-like howls as a vast mountain range appeared on the horizon. The winding mountain range seemed to stretch without end, covered in boundless acrid, fog-like miasma.

Not a single inch of grass was visible. It was as if all vitality had been drained from the land, leaving only the angrily flowing miasma. In an environment as harsh as this, even an Emperor expert would have their cultivation eroded if they stayed long enough, let alone ordinary cultivators.

This was the barren, uninhabited, and inhospitable land known as the Withered Willow Mountain Range.

Swish!

The air rippled as Lin Xun emerged. Dao light flowed around him, chasing away the dreadful miasma nearby. He lifted his gaze and looked around as a map of Forever Fall Forbidden Land appeared in his mind. After a brief comparison, he walked straight towards the depths of the Withered Willow Mountain Range.

Moments later, he found traces of a battle. Dark black blood stains were splattered across the side of a collapsed mountain peak, while bits of flesh and bone were messily scattered across the ground.

With a sweep of his spirit sense, Lin Xun judged that the battle had only taken place less than fifteen minutes ago. It appeared that several extremely vicious beasts had been slaughtered. From the blood and auras they left behind, he could discern that they were comparable in strength to fifth realm Emperor experts.

However, they had died rather pitifully, killed by a single strike without being able to put up any resistance! His black eyes flickered in thought as he continued on. More traces of battles appeared along the way, resembling the scenes he had first discovered.

"It seems that the old man arrived rather early." Lin Xun quickened his pace without hesitation. He didn’t encounter any danger because all of the beasts seemed to have been exterminated by Zhu Hun.

An hour later.

Rumble!

A muffled roar rang out from the depths of the foggy miasma, and Lin Xun's spirit sense immediately moved to investigate. On a barren mountain in the distance, countless grayish-white lightning bolts that were as thick as an arm flickered and intertwined. From time to time, strands of dazzling sparks burst from them, accompanied by a dull rumbling boom that echoed across the area.

His pupils abruptly shrank. The grayish-white lightning was law fire: a terrifying fire formed from the condensation of countless tiny fragments of shattered law power. In the Great Thousand Battle Domain, Lin Xun had once risked his life to collect extinguishing law fire. So how could he not know the dreadfulness of this power?

It was fire that could threaten even Immortal experts! Soon after, joy bubbled in his heart. Since all of his extinguishing law fire had been used up at the Ruins of the Gods, this was an excellent opportunity to collect more law power fire with the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron! With it, he would gain a powerful weapon against an Immortal expert like Zhu Hun.

Whoosh!

While various thoughts were rapidly swirling in Lin Xun's mind, a figure faintly flickered deep in the mountain covered by countless grayish-white lightning bolts, dove into a giant ravine, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Despite this, Lin Xun immediately judged that the figure belonged to Zhu Hun!
