Chapter 2861 New Grudge and Old Enmity

The terrains fell into ruins. The violent aftermath of the battle was still raging, wreaking havoc between heaven and earth.

Shaman Sect’s Cang Fufeng, Zen Sect’s Wen Qiaoshui, and those who had been watching in secret had nothing but gravity on their faces.

The battle had lasted less than ten minutes, but it could be described as soul-stirring, heart-stopping! The Ten Immortal Giant party led by Wang Juehuan had accumulated momentum for a long time for an ambush, only to end up being horribly defeated in front of the Earth Demon Realm’s portal.

It was such a regrettable defeat! They had planned it over a long time and had even released all of the killer cards in their possession. Caught off guard by an ambush like this, even Cang Fufeng’s or Wen Qiaoshui's group would have suffered heavy casualties.

It was a pity though, Lin Xun had prepared for it. No one had expected him to send three thousand clones to go in first, consuming everything that Wang Juehuan’s party had carefully prepared. The deadly danger was thus resolved, and then, the enemies had been incapable of defending themselves when faced with the onslaught of Lin Xun’s true form.

Most frighteningly, those many clones of his had also played a role in blocking them and foiled their retreat. Under these circumstances, they had no choice but to be slaughtered!

The thing that topped it all off—that divine arrow coming out of nowhere and blasting Wang Juehuan to death in one fell swoop—shook the participants from the Shaman Sect and the Zen Sect to their core. It was too strong! Its might was like a judgment from the Heavens!

Wang Juehuan, the chosen son of the number one Immortal Giant, was dead just like that. He had planned to do everything in his power to take Lin Xun down before he died, but alas, it couldn't have been realized. Even his Time-Space Lightning Pearl that was about to explode, immediately after his death, had dimmed and dropped from the void.

Before it could hit the ground, Lin Xun grabbed it through the air. He then looked into the distance and laughed, “I’ve finally got to witness Senior Brother’s dashing archery style!”

In the area where he was looking, Well Moon’s lean figure materialized. He put away the big, black bow in his hand and smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth. “Not at all. All I can do is sneakily fire arrows from the dark.”

He was humble, but who among the people present dared to take his word for it? That arrow’s power gave even top Nirvana Spirit experts like them an intense sense of danger!

“It’s the sneaky arrows that are the most deadly.” Lin Xun laughed out loud.

Watching the pair of Fangchun Mountain brothers joking around in the middle of the battlefield, the eyes of Cang Fufeng, Wen Qiaoshui, and the companions all flickered. Any of them knew that in the next year in this Earth Demon Realm, the Origin Sect’s force represented by Lin Xun and Li Zhen was going to be a huge threat!

The battle had concluded. In the ruins that used to be scenery, the nineteen participants from the Ten Immortal Giants, including Wang Juehuan, had been slain to the last one.

Li Zhen had killed four, Well Moon got one, and the rest had died at Lin Xun's hand. It was total destruction for the participants of the Ten Immortal Giants!

“How long are you all going to keep watching?” said Lin Xun all of a sudden as his eyes coldly swept in the direction of Shaman Sect and the Zen Sect forces.

“It’s actually a good thing that the Ten Immortal Giants’ participants are eliminated. Every past Immortal Dao Battle was originally between the Four Great Ancestral Courts anyway,” Cang Fufeng said, waved his hand, and left with the other four Shaman Sect experts.

Lin Xun inhaled deeply to suppress his killing intent, making no move to stop the other party. How could he not know Cang Fufeng’s group had previously lain in the shadows? Furthermore, it was obvious that they had not intended to only be spectators.

Their purpose had been to fish in troubled waters, but regrettably, there had been no chance to do that during the entirety of the battle.

“You’ve stepped into the advanced Nirvana Spirit Stage Daoist Lin. Congratulations. When the opportunity presents itself, I would like to understand your attainments in the great dao.”

In the horizon, Wen Qiaoshui slightly clasped his fist as he spoke. He was as handsome and refined as jade, his temperament was otherworldly, and there was nothing intimidating about his air.

“Why don't we fulfill your wish now?” asked Lin Xun.

Wen Qiaoshui laughed, “We’ve only just entered the Earth Demon Realm, so why the hurry to have a go at each other? Wouldn’t that be handing over the fortune here to others for nothing?”

Lin Xun thought for a moment and nodded. “You have a point.”

“We’ll take our leave.” Wen Qiaoshui smiled and led his group away.

It wasn’t until their silhouettes disappeared from view that Li Zhen commented, “I thought you would use this opportunity to act against them.”

Lin Xun said, “No rush. If we can’t settle the score in the Earth Demon Realm, we’ll do that in the Heaven Demon Realm. As long as it’s in the Ten Directions Demon Realm, none of them can escape.”

Well Moon said from a distance, “Junior Brother, I'm going back to my Spirit Sect's fellow disciples.”

Lin Xun nodded. “Take care, Senior Brother.”

“You too.” Well Moon smiled and left.

“The Spirit Sect has really got a great bargain with those senior brothers and sisters of yours,” lamented Li Zhen.

This sentiment came from his knowledge of Lin Xun’s battle prowess and deepened after he had seen the might of Well Moon’s archery dao. From them, he could imagine how stunning the other Fangchun Mountain disciples would be.

“Senior, let us hurry as well.” Lin Xun stretched his limbs, his eyes profound as he said, “I’m very curious as to how many fortunes are scattered across this Earth Demon Realm.”

In the past three years, his dao had stabilized at the advanced stage of the Nirvana Spirit Realm. His progress had slowed again. However, if he could obtain some Heaven Rank law power, his cultivation might be able to make noticeable progress again!

Moreover, he was also quite curious about the so-called Eternal Divine Elixir and Divine Rank law fragments, and what kind of miraculous effects they could possibly have.

Immediately, Lin Xun and Li Zhen teleported away. Shortly after they left, Yuan Changtian soundlessly emerged among the broken terrains.

He was wearing the Heaven-Veiling Feather Rob which isolated all energy, so cultivators below the Eternal Stage could not see through it and sense his presence at all. The drawback was also obvious: this treasure could not be utilized in battle.

“He is getting stronger and stronger...”

Yuan Changtian’s brows scrunched up so hard that wrinkles appeared on his forehead. There seemed to be a dark cloud over his handsome face.

Nine years ago, Lin Xun had entered the Ten Directions Demon Realm while only at the initial Nirvana Spirit Stage, but had been able route Wang Juehuan’s party at Myriad Ravines Mountain Range.

Today, nine years later, Lin Xun was already at the advanced Nirvana Spirit Stage, which was a whole two levels increase in his cultivation! One could only imagine how terrifying his combat strength had grown.

Yuan Changtian had also watched the battle just now, and had seen clearly how powerless peak Nirvana Spirit experts like Wang Juehuan looked under Lin Xun’s attacks! Furthermore, the latter hadn’t even utilized his innate abilities.

All of it was proof of how fast and terrifying Lin Xun's combat prowess had metamorphosed. It also gave Yuan Changtian a looming sense of threat for the first time!

“I won't be your enemy in the Ten Directions Demon Realm, but if you dare to snatch the greatest fortune here, then don’t blame me...”

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Changtian tried to clear the dark thoughts in his mind and departed from the area.

......

The Earth Demon Realm was completely different from the previous eight demon realms. The sky here was perennially covered in a thick layer of haze, which was the gathering of multifarious berserk law powers. It exuded an oppressive and perilous aura. The mountains and rivers were vast, all presenting a primal-like air.

It was rumored that the Earth Demon Realm buried the most epochal laws. As such, only this place could birth such terrifying beasts as the Law Power Beast King and produce Eternal Divine Elixirs.

This world was incredibly big. All the past participants had explored and searched the Earth Demon Realm countless times. So far, though, no one had been able to map its boundaries!

Lin Xun and Li Zhen climbed mountains and crossed rivers day after day, leaving no stone unturned, but had found nothing. Not to mention a beast king, even the average Earth Rank Desolate Law Power Beasts seemed to have gone extinct.

The situation went on until half a month later, the duo suddenly perceived a strong battle fluctuation in the midst of their travel. Immediately, their spirit senses captured a huge black lake in the far distant region. Above that lake, there were people fighting.

One side was Shaman Sect’s Cang Fufeng and his group, and their opponent was a ferocious beast the size of a mountain. It resembled a

Xuanwu

, with a dark green shell that was ten thousand feet in diameter and limbs like iron pillars. Its head was the size of a house, hosting a pair of eyes as bright as two golden suns.

This was clearly a Law Power Beast King! Possessing a ninth grade Heaven Rank law, its colossal figure evaporated dao radiance and its might was monstrous. However, this Law Power Beast King was currently besieged and riddled with wounds.

Cang Fufeng was wielding a pair of flaming bronze maces. Every strike was like a rain of heavenly fire, creating destructive and violent noises. The four Shaman Sect participants beside him each controlled their treasures in coordination and kept the Law Power Beast King firmly in check.

The lake beneath them tumbled. Water and flames intertwined and erupted, plunging the region into disorder. The power of the Nirvana Spirit Realm was too immense, burning the sky and boiling the sea at every turn. If it wasn’t for how sturdy the Earth Demon Realm was, this gigantic lake would have long been sunken.

“Senior, do you still remember that incident a few years ago?” A cold glint flickered in Lin Xun’s dark eyes.

“Of course I remember.” Li Zhen’s eyes flashed with killing intent.

Several years ago in the Southern Demon Realm, he and Lin Xun had been under a surprise attack from the Shaman Sect participants. At that time, the opponents, led by Cang Fufeng, had suddenly swooped in and made things difficult when the duo were hunting a Heaven Rank beast. The situation could be considered extremely risky.

At the critical moment, Lin Xun had executed the Seal of Temporal Restriction to stop the enemies, finally neutralizing the sudden calamity. How could Li Zhen forget such an experience?

“Senior, while I deal with them, you find the opportunity to kill that Law Power Beast King. Once you seize its ninth grade Heaven Rank law, we’ll withdraw immediately,” Lin Xun transmitted.

Cang Fufeng was a divine son of the Ninth Heaven Domain’s Eternal Divine Cang Clan. His strength was not to be underestimated, not to mention that he possessed quite a number of killer cards. In today’s Earth Demon Realm, he was among the opponents that Lin Xun took seriously.

Against this kind of character, he naturally wouldn’t show any negligence.

“Alright.” Li Zhen agreed without hesitation.
