Chapter 2792 Deceived

Chapter 2792 Deceived

Since stepping onto the immortal path, Lin Xun had already clashed with more than a few Nirvana Spirit experts.

Not long ago, in the Seventh Forbidden Zone, he killed Qin Jingtian and other Martial Ancestors at the Nirvana Spirit level. By unleashing the Time Stopping divine power and the Blade of Time, he had crushed them in one decisive sweep.

Now, as he unleashed his five dao bodies, he blasted apart another Martial Ancestor whose strength rivalled the Nirvana Spirit level. If those from the Origin Sect witnessed this scene, who knew what they would think?

Boom!

The slaughter raged on. While his dao bodies reaped lives, Lin Xun’s true body cut down several more enemies without pause. At this moment, he was indeed too fierce and too domineering, pressing forward unhindered, unmatched and invincible.

Blood sprayed. Agonized screams tore through the battlefield. Such a battle was a rarity even in the vast Great Qin Divine Domain. Dozens of Martial Ancestors, all with power on par with the Heavenly Longevity Stage, had joined forces, yet they could not withstand the might of a single man. If word spread, the entire world would quake to its core.

“Retreat!” A cold, merciless voice thundered across the heavens.

At once, an indescribable pressure descended, vast and oppressive, like storm clouds collapsing over a city. Lin Xun’s heart clenched. His body chilled. He lifted his head sharply.

Before the distant ancient teleportation formation, a figure emerged from thin air. Long gray hair cascaded to his waist. His features were as youthful as a man in his prime, but his eyes burned like twin abysses of flame, shooting out blinding beams of light.

Clad in jade robes, he stood with casual ease, yet the might rolling from him blanketed the city and swallowed the sky. This was Qin Wenzhang from the Great Qin Divine Clan. He was an ancient monster at the third realm Martial Ancestor level!

The surviving experts scattered at once, vanishing without a trace. Lin Xun did not pursue them. They were insignificant characters.

The greatest obstacle to escaping the Great Qin Divine Domain was none other than the jade-robed man in the distance, a terrifying existence who had stepped into the Transcendence Stage!

Within the Origin Sect, such a figure would be considered a formidable presence, capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with some elders of the three pavilions. By cultivation alone, he could be ranked among the peers of the three deputy pavilion masters!

However, even within the Transcendence Stage, vast differences existed. The three deputy pavilion masters of the Origin Sect, for instance, had long since reached its pinnacle, their foundations terrifyingly profound.

Lin Xun could not gauge how deep the jade-robed man’s mastery within the Transcendence Stage was. However, one thing was certain...this man posed a fatal threat to him! The city had fallen into silence. Streets lay split apart. Buildings collapsed into rubble. The air reeked of blood.

“Knowing this place teemed with murderous intent, you still dared to come alone. Remarkable! You are even more remarkable than your great-grandfather back then.”

Before the ancient teleportation formation, Qin Wenzhang spoke unhurriedly, his eyes sweeping over Lin Xun. The invisible might he radiated pressed down so heavily that Lin Xun felt as though he could hardly breathe.

The Transcendence Stage...the power of this level was utterly terrifying!

Even though Lin Xun now stood at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Longevity Stage, and even though he had already stepped onto the Eternal Supremacy Path, there still remained a gulf of two great realms between them.

Despite that, he did not retreat. Instead, he drew in a deep breath, steadied himself and advanced step by step along the ruined street.

Qin Wenzhang’s brows knit together. “Why insist on courting death? Where your parents are imprisoned, eight third-realm Martial Ancestors stand guard. Even if you make it there, isn’t it the same as throwing away your life?”

Lin Xun advanced without pause. “Before, there was a man named Qin Shaomeng who was just like you, spouting nonsense endlessly. In the end, he failed to fathom the depth of my cards and dared not act rashly.” He chuckled softly, then sneered, “To put it kindly, that was caution. To put it bluntly...cowardice.”

Cowardice!

Qin Wenzhang’s face turned to ice. He raised a single finger.

Boom!

With that one gesture, the sky split apart and the void buckled as if it would collapse entirely. Lin Xun did not dodge. Under this strike, he had no chance to. The force of that finger sealed every direction. There was nowhere to flee, nowhere to hide.

If he tried to meet it head-on, he would be like an ant trying to shake a giant tree...crushed to death in an instant! This was the gulf between the Heavenly Longevity and Transcendence Stages. It was like a heavenly chasm, a divide no means could ever bridge.

Even so, Lin Xun did not retreat. Before him, Xuan Feiling’s Will Dharma Form appeared, hurling forth a punch.

Boom!

The vast Falling Cloud Divine City trembled violently, as though on the verge of caving in. As dust and smoke rolled away, Qin Wenzhang’s voice rang out, “So this was the trump card that saved you the last time you fled for the Seventh Forbidden Zone.”

He was not surprised. As he spoke, he clasped his fingers lightly, and a stream of sword qi tore forth.

Shua!

The heavens and earth seemed to split apart. As the peerless sword intent descended, a sound like the praises of the gods resounded through the skies.

“Slay them.”

Xuan Feiling’s sleeves whipped through the air as he unleashed another punch. Fist and sword clashed. The peerless sword intent shattered bit by bit in the void, and Qin Wenzhang’s pupils contracted sharply.

As a third realm Martial Ancestor, every move he made brimmed with the power to transcend the great dao’s laws, to obliterate all beneath the heavens. Under such might, even the flick of a finger could annihilate anyone below Transcendence.

Qin Wenzhang had held back from taking action earlier because he knew Lin Xun had this trump card up his sleeve. However, never did he expect that the power of a mere Will Dharma Form could block two of his strikes!

Undoubtedly, the owner of this Will Dharma Form had reached a mastery in the third realm Martial Ancestor Stage that defied imagination. Fortunately...it was only a Will Dharma Form.

Murderous light flickered in Qin Wenzhang’s eyes.

Clang!

A resplendent flying sword burst forth, its radiance dazzling, its aura so vast that heaven and earth dimmed, all things withering and collapsing in this wake. Its power completely surpassed Lin Xun’s comprehension.

“Go!”

Qin Wenzhang flicked his sleeve, and the flying sword vanished into the void. At the same instant, Xuan Feiling’s figure lunged forward. Lin Xun unleashed the Time Stopping divine art.

Buzz!

In that instant, the resplendent flying sword froze before Lin Xun’s brow, only three inches away from cleaving him in two. Its speed was unimaginable and its killing intent overwhelming.

However, at that very moment, as Lin Xun’s figure violently retreated, a vast spacetime rift tore open before him. Like a black hole deep within the starry sky, it exuded a suffocating, bone-chilling aura.

The Gate of Exile!

All of it happened in the same instant, as if within a single breath. When Qin Wenzhang regained his senses, he saw his True Torrent Flying Sword that he had nurtured for countless years seemed to have been stripped of all its power. As it descended, it vanished noiselessly into that mysterious rift.

As if delivered straight to the doorstep... Qin Wenzhang felt a sharp pain in his chest as the bond with his True Torrent Flying Sword was severed. His expression darkened, fury boiling in his eyes.

You deserve to die!

The abnormal scene struck him completely off guard, leaving him momentarily dazed. Even with his countless years of cultivation, he could not fathom what kind of power this was.

Without giving Qin Wenzhang the slightest chance to respond, Xuan Feiling seized the fleeting advantage and charged in with a violent killing strike. A mysterious sword qi slashed forth from his palm.

When this strike was unleashed, Xuan Feiling’s Will Dharma Form dimmed visibly. It was obvious that the power contained within this sword strike was overwhelming and the energy it consumed was immense.

However, Qin Wenzhang was, after all, a Martial Ancestor whose strength rivaled the Transcendence Stage. At that critical moment, he suddenly drew in a deep breath, and his aura surged violently, soaring skyward.

“Condense!”

Before him, a perfectly round, resplendent golden light shield took shape before him, shining with divine brilliance.

Boom!

The sword and shield collided, unleashing a terrifying torrent of dao light. The heaven and earth shook violently, and the vast city split apart with countless spiderweb-like cracks.

If not for the fact that this place housed the only ancient teleportation array leading to the outside world, and that the city was reinforced with numerous ancient restriction arrays, it would have long since been utterly destroyed.

Bang!

Qin Wenzhang was blasted backwards, blood trickling from his lips. Even after reacting so swiftly, he was still injured under the blow.

From afar, Xuan Feiling’s gaze sharpened, regret flickering in his eyes. That sword strike had failed to kill. Without hesitation, he stepped into the ancient teleportation array alongside Lin Xun, who seized the chance to leap in.

“You can’t escape. The array plate is in my hands.” Qin Wenzhang’s cold voice echoed as he appeared in the distance, a white tortoiseshell array plate glimmering in his hand. “If you want to activate the array, come and take it!”

Within the ancient teleportation array, Lin Xun scanned the surroundings and said, “Elder, I can start it...but I’ll need a quarter of an hour.”

“A quarter of an hour? Very well.”

Xuan Feiling straightened, sleeves fluttering as his Will Dharma Form burned brighter for a moment. “This is only a fragment of my will. Before it collapses, I will buy you that time.”

Though his figure was already dim and hazy, his aura remained overbearing and unyielding as ever.

“Elder, why don’t we finish this old thing together!” Lin Xun sent a voice transmission, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

“Your Blade of Time can’t hold back a Transcendence being just yet. Stop the nonsense...focus on the array!”

Xuan Feiling’s voice transmission had just finished when—

Shua!

From the distance, Qin Wenzhang charged in with violent killing intent, clearly unwilling to give Lin Xun any chance.

“Hmph, I’ve attained Transcendence countless years ago. Even if this is only a Will Dharma Form, holding you back for a quarter of an hour is hardly difficult!” With a cold snort, Xuan Feiling strode forward and blasted out a fierce punch.

Boom!

Qin Wenzhang’s figure jolted to a halt as the terrifying fist force shattered his unleashed power, sending him staggering backward under the impact.

“If your true body were here, you would have already fled. But with only this Will Dharma Form, I doubt you can last a quarter of an hour!” Qin Wenzhang charged in once more, his aura surging through the nine heavens.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He was blasted back again and again. Each time he looked battered and in disarray, but in truth he sustained little damage.

By contrast, Xuan Feiling’s Will Dharma Form grew dimmer with each exchange, becoming faint, illusory and blurred.

Qin Wenzhang threw his head back and laughed, “Hahaha! Not even a few minutes have passed and you’re already struggling to withstand me?”

He could already see that Xuan Feiling’s Will Dharma Form was on the verge of collapse. However, Xuan Feiling only showed a look of pity, as though gazing at a fool, and sighed softly, “I said a quarter of an hour, and you actually believed it?”

Qin Wenzhang froze. At this moment, the ancient teleportation array flared to life!

“This is bad!”

Qin Wenzhang’s face twisted with an unspeakably ugly expression. Realizing he had been deceived, he let out a furious roar and charged forward without hesitation.

“Out of my way!”

He swung his fist in a killing strike, but...

“Come then!” At that moment, Xuan Feiling’s will dharma suddenly exploded, as if set ablaze.

Boom!

From afar, it was as if a tremendous sun had exploded within Falling Cloud Divine City, unleashing a violent, boundless torrent of destruction. The nearby seas seemed to vaporize in an instant, while the heavens blazed red with fire stretching for three thousand miles, dazzling and cataclysmic.

That scene was enough to shake the world!

In the city, before the deserted ancient teleportation array, Qin Wenzhang stood with his hair disheveled, his body charred black and his clothes in tatters. Wretched beyond comparison, he could no longer hold back and unleashed a roar of boundless rage.

“Aaahh—!!”
