Chapter 2924 Facing the Enemies Head-on

As soon as Lin Xun appeared, Wang Daoxing and the others fixed their gazes on him. The air grew taut and heavy, like a bowstring drawn to its limit.

Far away, the countless spectators fell silent, hearts pounding.

Where does Lin Xun find the confidence to face them alone?

“It’s just you?” Mu Yongting, his crimson robes rippling and with white hair gleaming, spoke coldly. Divine light flashed in his eyes, sharp enough to pierce the heavens and see through all illusions upon Heavenly Fortune Divine Mountain.

“I alone am enough to deal with all of you.” Lin Xun’s tone was calm and measured. He could tell at a glance that these old monsters were full of doubt. They still didn’t believe he had truly come alone.

“Ha! Such arrogance! Deputy Pavilion Master Lin is young, ambitious, and proud. You rose through the Origin Sect and reached the Transcendence Realm. But do you think having Eternal Supremacy potential gives you the right to look down on us old antiques?” Chi Tingfang, a stunning woman whose beauty burned as fiercely as her presence, smiled faintly.

Lin Xun uncorked his wine gourd, took a leisurely sip, and said, “You didn’t come here just to talk, did you?”

𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

He stood utterly at ease, without the slightest hint of fear even before ten ancient powerhouses at the pinnacle of the Transcendence Realm. However, the more calm and composed he appeared, the deeper the doubt gnawed at Wang Daoxing and the others’ hearts.

“We’ve already come this far, so naturally we’re not afraid of you. Let’s drop the pretense and speak plainly. What do you say?” Wang Daoxing said in a solemn voice.

Lin Xun lowered his wine gourd and said calmly, “At this point, I really don’t know what else there is to say.”

His seemingly casual yet unmistakably domineering attitude made Wang Daoxing and the others frown deeply.

In the distant sky, countless onlookers held their breath, hearts pounding in their chests. Was Lin Xun truly planning to face the might of the Ten Clans Alliance alone? Was he not afraid of being torn to pieces?

“Are you certain you want to face us alone?” Zu Kong, clad in black armor and fierce as tempered steel, stepped forward. A killing aura surged from him like a storm.

“That’s right,” Lin Xun said with a nod.

Mu Yongting frowned. “I truly cannot fathom why the Origin Sect would allow you to come here just to die. Lin Xun, can you enlighten me?”

Lin Xun chuckled. “There’s no need to keep testing me. I came here alone, and I have no helpers lurking nearby. After all, I’m only dealing with you. Why would I need anyone’s help?”

His gaze swept across Wang Daoxing and the others, sharp as a blade drawn from its sheath. “Now, do you all understand?”

His words brimmed with unshakable dominance and his voice was majestic, unyielding and steeped in undisguised contempt for these old antiques of the Ten Clans Alliance.

The faces of Wang Daoxing and the others darkened considerably. However, they remained composed. Their divine senses had already swept across the surrounding mountains and sky, and they found no trace of ambush or hidden force lurking in wait.

According to their deduction, even if Lin Xun had a trump card up his sleeve, it would likely be related to the Will Dharma Form of an Eternal Realm being. Of course, they too had their own means of countering it.

“When the heavens wish to destroy a man, it first drives him mad. Everyone, today we shall slay Lin Xun here in this Sixth Heaven Domain and restore clarity to the world!” Wang Daoxing declared.

Clang!

As he spoke, a jet-black, ancient sword rose behind him, as vast and heavy as the night sky. Its sword chant surged like a tidal wave, shaking the nine heavens.

Rumble!

The nearby void buckled and split apart. Distant mountains exploded and collapsed like paper. It was as though even heaven and earth could not endure the aura of that ancient blade.

A chill ran down the spines of all who watched from afar.

“Exactly so.”

Mu Yongting, Zu Kong, Chi Tingfang, and the others all nodded in unison, their bodies erupting with vast and boundless killing intent. In that instant, the terrifying aura of the great dao rippled through the heavens, as though the very fabric of the universe were being torn apart. The world itself seemed to teeter on the brink of annihilation.

Those watching from afar could no longer remain still, their faces drained of color as they retreated even farther.

“It should have been like this from the start. All that pointless chatter earlier was irritating.” Lin Xun sighed softly.

“Go!”

“Press him down!”

“Slash!”

Almost simultaneously, Wang Daoxing, Chi Tingfang, and Mu Yongting, three ancient monsters who had reached the pinnacle of the Transcendence Realm, struck together, unleashing their treasures: an ancient sword, a jade ruler, and a divine pagoda.

The ancient sword swept across the heavens, cutting through the meridians and latitudes of the world. The sword intent was vast and crushing, as if the heavens themselves were collapsing. As the immortal laws it carried spread outward, countless divine visions manifested one after another. Heaven-Subduing Sword!

The jade ruler flickered forward like a streak of snow-white light. In the blink of an eye, it appeared before Lin Xun. Ultimate Formless Ruler!

Meanwhile, the pagoda, shaped like a nine-palace tower, rose majestically into the air. Each of its nine tiers radiated a different hue of divine light, as though nine infernal gates had opened at once, releasing the terrifying powers of wind and thunder, fire and earth, yin and yang, purity and chaos. Nine Realms Demon Pagoda!

All three attacks embodied the absolute might of the perfect Transcendence Stage. The combined force was enough to shatter worlds, and even those of equal cultivation would struggle to withstand such power.

It was beyond terrifying. Undoubtedly, Wang Daoxing and the others attacked with their full strength, unwilling to risk even the slightest unforeseen change.

On the summit of Heavenly Fortune Divine Mountain, Lin Xun remained calm and composed. Facing the combined assault, he simply lifted his hand and unleashed three palm strikes in succession.

Clang!

The first palm collided with the Ultimate Formless Ruler. Divine light burst forth in a blinding explosion as waves of destructive force rippled outward. The ruler that had been nurtured for countless ages was sent hurtling backward like a falling star. Chi Tingfang’s pupils contracted sharply.

Boom!

The second palm strike shattered a stretch of the sky. The sword intent condensed within the ancient sword crumbled like a landslide, and even the blade trembled violently under the impact. Wang Daoxing’s brows furrowed.

Thud!

The third palm struck the Nine Realms Demon Pagoda like a celestial storm. Its countless rays

of divine light burst apart one after another, and the pagoda itself roared and swayed violently. Mu Yongting let out a soft cry of alarm.

The three palm strikes happened almost simultaneously, yet in a direct, head-on clash, they sent flying the divine weapons unleashed by three ancient figures. The sight left even the old antiques who had not yet acted staring in disbelief.

“The advanced Transcendence Stage!”

“So...in these decades, this boy has already advanced from the initial Transcendence Realm to the advanced level...”

“No wonder he dares to be so utterly fearless.”

Understanding dawned and with it came a wave of jealousy. During those ten years in the Ten Directions Demon Realm, Lin Xun had soared from the initial Nirvana Spirit Stage all the way to the Transcendence Stage in one leap.

Now, barely fifty years later, he had ascended once more, reaching the advanced Transcendence Realm! Such progress was unprecedented in all of history. How could these ancient beings not burn with envy?

It should be noted that even the youngest among them had cultivated for tens of thousands of years, while the oldest had endured for hundreds of thousands of years, yet they all remained mired at the perfect Transcendence Realm. When compared to Lin Xun’s meteoric rise, their cultivation progress was utterly insignificant.

What shocked them most was not Lin Xun’s terrifying speed to advancement. It was that, with only his advanced Transcendence Realm cultivation, he could withstand the combined assaults of three ancient monsters head-on. Such strength had already far surpassed the limits of ordinary cultivators.

They finally understood. This was why Lin Xun dared to issue a public challenge in the Sixth Heaven Domain.

“It might be better if you all attack together. Otherwise you’ll only lose faster,” Lin Xun said evenly. As his voice faded, the figure that had stood motionless suddenly stirred. With a single step forward, his aura changed completely.

Boom!

Light erupted from his body as an immortal halo bloomed behind him. The boundless might of the great dao surged forth, taking the shape of a vast abyss that seemed capable of swallowing all things beneath the heavens.

Buzz!

The Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron appeared with a thunderous hum and charged forth with him.

“Attack together! End him quickly!”

Wang Daoxing’s eyes blazed with divine light as he raised his ancient sword. The other nine ancient monsters followed, unleashing their full might in unison. How terrifying was the strike of ten beings at the pinnacle of the Transcendence Stage?

In that instant, heaven and earth plunged into chaos, as though reverting to the primordial void before creation. Even Heavenly Fortune Divine Mountain, one of the finest sacred lands in the Sixth Heaven Domain, collapsed with a deafening roar, unable to withstand such cataclysmic power.

In the far distance, countless onlookers felt their vision burn and blur, their souls trembling in terror. The battlefield ahead had vanished into a haze of white light and they could see nothing anymore. For a moment, only the thunderous roar of the dao echoed across heaven and earth.

On the battlefield, Lin Xun was surrounded by enemies on all sides. Divine weapons, wreathed in blinding radiance, rained down from every direction, unleashing torrents of power that flooded heaven and earth in boundless killing intent.

There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Anyone else would have long fallen into despair. However, Lin Xun neither wavered nor dodged. From the very start, he had chosen to meet every strike head-on, unleashing his full cultivation without restraint.

Back in the Origin Sect, even when seven deputy pavilion masters had attacked him together, they could not harm him at all. Now, even if ten ancient monsters from the Ten Clans Alliance joined hands, it made little difference. At most, there were only three more than before.

Numbers only mattered when both sides’ power were equal. Unfortunately for them, this battle was anything but equal, and so, numbers no longer mattered.

The next moment...

Clang!

The ancient sword quivered violently, its blade ringing in agony. Wang Daoxing staggered backward, his blood and qi churning chaotically. His face turned pale and blood nearly spilled from his lips.

Impossible!

At nearly the same instant, Lin Xun activated the sword cauldron, deflecting every incoming attack as though they were nothing. His movements were effortless and unhurried, his expression calm and almost serene.

The old antiques’ faces twisted in disbelief. They had already unleashed their full strength, holding nothing back, yet not only did they fail to suppress Lin Xun, they found themselves suppressed instead. Their auras churned, their blood roiled, and their hearts trembled under the crushing weight of his power.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

Their roars shook the heavens as they unleashed their fury, divine power blazing like ten burning suns. On the battlefield, they wielded every art and weapon at their command. Their might could easily obliterate anyone of the same cultivation realm, the very pinnacle of power beneath the Eternal Stage.

Despite that, even under that onslaught, Lin Xun stood unshaken! As time passed, their expressions turned grave and ashen, their eyes clouded with unease and disbelief.

Although Lin Xun stood alone with only the cultivation of the advanced Transcendence Stage, he was like an indestructible force none of them could shake. It defied belief. It was beyond anything they could have imagined.

At first, they believed Lin Xun was lying in wait with hidden allies, and that only with such support would he have dared to challenge them so brazenly. Now, they realized how terribly wrong they were

The sheer power Lin Xun commanded now was enough to make even these ancient beings feel utterly powerless before him. How terrifying was that?
