Chapter 2913 Showdown with Taixuan

Silence reigned all around. When they saw the spectators outside the arena, Xuan Feiling, Dugu Yong, and the other five deputy pavilion masters flushed with rage.

What the hell, did everyone witness this?!

Xuan Feiling coughed dryly and said, "We were discussing the dao with Deputy Pavilion Master Lin, but we didn't expect to disturb you. Now...disperse."

The people around them looked puzzled for a moment, but they tactfully left. However, everyone's hearts were swirling with emotion, and they found themselves unable to calm down for a long time.

What kind of ‘dao discussion’ could have caused the other seven deputy pavilion masters to join forces against Deputy Pavilion Master Lin alone? After forty-five years of seclusion, could Deputy Pavilion Master Lin’s combat power truly evolve to such an incredible level?

This was astonishing!

While watching the figures disappear, Xuan Feiling and the others exchanged looks as they each smiled wryly and shook their heads.

"From today on, judging solely by combat prowess, among the deputy pavilion masters, Lin Xun is the most powerful." Dugu Yong sighed.

He was the one who had proposed a sparring match with Lin Xun to test his true strength. Only after the battle concluded did he realize that even if seven deputy pavilion masters combined their full strength together, they would be no match for him. In fact, if Lin Xun hadn't called a stop to the battle, they would have all been defeated!

"Alas, what's the point of living longer? Compared to that fellow Lin Xun, it's like the difference between a weed on the ground and the sun in the sky."

"Only after cultivating the dao until now have I truly realized that living longer doesn't necessarily mean becoming more powerful."

Seeing the elders sighing with emotion, their expressions complicated, Lin Xun felt embarrassed and said, "Seniors, please don't keep putting yourselves down as that will only make the pressure on me more intense."

Xuan Feiling laughed heartily, "Everyone, stop lamenting. Lin Xun is following the path of the Eternal Supreme, which is unique in heaven and earth. If he can't be invincible in this realm, how can he possibly deserve the title of Supreme? We deserve to be defeated by him!"

Dugu Yong and the others laughed. Of course, they wouldn't let this setback affect their spirits. Fang Daoping's expression grew serious as he asked earnestly, "Lin Xun, let me ask you, if it were a real life-or-death battle, how long do you think we could last?"

The other old monsters also turned their gazes towards Lin Xun.

Lin Xun paused for a moment, then smiled. "It should be shorter than the previous fight."

How could he possibly say that in a life-or-death struggle, he could kill any of them in a split second? That was too humiliating.

Even though he was being tactful, Xuan Feiling and the others understood what he really meant, and each of them sighed deeply. Lin Xun's current attainments in the Transcendence Stage had undoubtedly surpassed theirs by a significant margin!

"In my opinion, to force Lin Xun to unleash his full strength, one would probably have to utilize an Eternal Will Dharma Form." Xuan Feiling's eyes were blazing as he said, "Lin Xun, how about we go to Wuxuan Forbidden Land and let Pavilion Master Taixuan test your abilities?"

Dugu Yong's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh. "Great idea!"

"That's great, that's great." The other old monsters also laughed and enthusiastically gathered around Lin Xun. This kid had just embarrassed them so badly, so it was time for him to suffer a little!

Feeling that things were taking a turn for the worse, Lin Xun cried out, "Seniors, it's getting late today, and I still have to..."

Just as he was about to leave, Xuan Feiling grabbed his shoulder. The other old monsters gathered around him, escorting him away.

"Little guy, testing out your own abilities will give you a clearer idea of how to improve. Don't worry, we promise we're not doing this to make you embarrass yourself!"

"Yes, we're not here to laugh at you."

"Lin Xun, we're doing this for your own good. After all, not just any deputy pavilion master gets this kind of special opportunity."

"Don't worry, we'll ask Pavilion Master Taixuan to show mercy and ensure your life isn't in danger."

The old monsters were incredibly enthusiastic. However, those words of ‘comfort’ sent a shiver down Lin Xun's spine. How could he not know these old men were eager to see him fall flat on his face? He couldn't help but grumble, who said these old masters were all so open-minded?

Wuxuan Forbidden Land.

This was the place where Taixuan, the pavilion master of Origin Emptiness Pavilion, was in seclusion. Under the familiar vast starry sky, Taixuan was dressed in a linen robe as he sat cross-legged in the sky. A chessboard formed from his own cultivation was before him.

Just as he had when Lin Xun first met him, he was playing against himself, grappling with himself!

Upon learning the purpose of Xuan Feiling’s and the others' visit, Taixuan was surprised and glanced at Lin Xun. Seeing him surrounded by a group of old monsters, looking helpless, the pavilion master immediately teased, "If you're being coerced, just blink a few times."

Lin Xun's lips twitched, and he said, "Actually... I came here voluntarily. These seniors are being this enthusiastic for my own good as well."

Xuan Feiling and the others guffawed.

Taixuan also laughed, rising to his feet. "Even if you were coerced, I'd still like to test your current combat prowess."

Lin Xun became speechless

Is any of this fair?!

"Using my willpower alone will damage my own cultivation. How about I use my true power?" As Taixuan spoke, he noticed Lin Xun's face had darkened and immediately added, "Of course, I promise to only use the power that my Will Dharma Form could use."

Lin Xun let out a long sigh, realizing he couldn't escape this fate.

"Lin Xun, perform well!"

"Let Pavilion Master Taixuan see the power of the Eternal Supreme."

"Don't be a coward! Don't worry, even if you suffer serious injuries, we will definitely heal you."

Xuan Feiling and the others offered encouragement, but their beaming faces made it impossible not to suspect that they were gloating inside. Furthermore, they had already moved away as they spoke, as if afraid they would be affected by the ensuing battle.

Seeing this, Lin Xun calmed down. He looked at Taixuan and said, "Then I will respectfully obey your command."

He took a deep breath, and his qi roared and circulated. Taixuan studied him for a moment, then snapped his fingers.

Clang!

A blast of sword qi slashed forth, and the sword intent alone was imbued with the majesty of the Eternal Realm.

Xuan Feiling and the others felt their eyes sting with pain, and it was as if their minds were being torn apart. Their expressions suddenly became extremely solemn. Although Taixuan only wielded a force comparable to what a Will Dharma Form could use, that might was still enough to pose a fatal threat to any ordinary Transcendence Realm expert!

Just like this seemingly insignificant sword strike, these old men might have had to use all their strength to dodge it. To resist would have been devastating or even fatal!

However, Lin Xun took a deep breath, neither dodging nor avoiding. With his sleeves fluttering around him, he launched a punch. The force of his counterattack was like an abyss, imprinted with his entire cultivation, and imbued with a profound and marvelous immortal law. When it collided with the sword qi, a thunderous roar erupted, and the nearby starry sky trembled violently.

Bang!

The sword qi shattered and vanished, and Lin Xun swayed slightly, his blood and qi churning. Despite that, he remained unharmed!

Xuan Feiling and the others felt their jaws drop open.

He had actually blocked it!

In the distance, a strange light flickered in Taixuan's eyes. He immediately slashed his fingers out again, unleashing another blast of sword qi. This time, its power was at least thirty percent greater than the previous one. Furthermore, this sword qi emanated a sense of Eternal might, leaving veterans like Xuan Feiling feeling insignificant and hopeless even from afar.

This strike was beyond their ability to dodge, let alone resist. However, Lin Xun's body seemed to be ablaze, radiating a brilliant light with every pore emanating a dazzling, crystal-clear dao light.

𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Boom!

He stepped into the cosmos while swinging his fist forward. The fist and sword clashed, exploding in the void. Amidst a shower of light, Lin Xun charged forward, fist raised. His domineering and aggressive demeanor left Xuan Feiling and the others feeling stunned.

Who could believe that, under such circumstances, Lin Xun would dare to launch such a fierce counterattack?

"Excellent!"

Taixuan exclaimed in admiration, his figure still. Amidst a thunderous roar, densely packed wisps of sword qi shot forth, slashing towards Lin Xun. Each sword qi possessed a power to shake the ages and overwhelm the heavens. Their splendor was vast and magnificent, like a flash of light suddenly appearing in eternity.

In an instant, Lin Xun was suppressed and in dire straits. The pack of sword qi was terrifying, possessing the might of the Eternal Realm. Any other Transcendence Immortal would have been slaughtered on the spot.

Despite that, Lin Xun resisted, growing more courageous with each encounter. This made Xuan Feiling’s and the others' eyes widen, their faces filled with shock. How could he be so powerful?!

Before long, as Taixuan attacked, Lin Xun was firmly pinned down, without any route to escape.

Bang!

At this moment, he was forced to use the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron to block and extinguish the densely packed sword qi one by one. His entire body was radiant with dao light, his eyes blazing. He shouted, "Senior, there's no need to hold back!"

Taixuan smiled and nodded.

Boom!

The outline of a sword array emerged, growing increasingly intense and terrifying. It suppressed Lin Xun to the point where he felt as if he were suffocating. He could only rely on the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron to hold on, unable to launch an effective counterattack.

However, Lin Xun did not give up. The next moment, his five dao bodies rushed out together, joining forces with him. In a moment, the sword array was shattered, transforming into an endless rain of light.

Taixuan was astonished, seemingly extremely surprised, and a look of pure shock flashed in his eyes. The power of his sword array was comparable to the full force attack of a Will Dharma Form, yet it was still broken by Lin Xun! How could he not be surprised?

A young man in the advanced Transcendence Stage possessed the incredible power to counter a Will Dharma Form at the Eternal Realm. If word of this were to spread, the world would be in a state of shock!

Just like now, Xuan Feiling and the others were stunned, their eyes dazed. They had all been waiting to see how Lin Xun would be beaten, so they could feel less depressed by the results of the previous fight.

However, who could have imagined that the power Lin Xun displayed in this battle would once again exceed their imagination and predictions? This made them suddenly realize something.

If Lin Xun had unleashed this terrifying power in their earlier fight, the combined strength of the seven deputy pavilion masters would have been no match for him. They would have been easily crushed by his overwhelming force!
