Chapter 2927 The Decision of the Ten Immortal Giants

The world gradually fell silent. For thousands of miles, all had fallen to ruin. The mountains were gone, the rivers dried to dust, and not a single blade of grass survived.

In the far distance, scattered figures cautiously drew near, struggling to suppress the terror in their hearts. They were the cultivators who watched the battle from afar and fled in panic the moment Cang Jiansheng’s Will Dharma Form descended.

Thus, none had seen what happened before. At this moment, when they saw Lin Xun standing tall in the void, their eyes widened in disbelief. One by one, they froze, as if turned to stone, as shock and awe rippled across their faces.

In that ruined world, only Lin Xun remained! Everyone who saw it understood what that meant. Wang Daoxing and the ten ancient monsters from the Ten Immortal Giants of the Eighth Heaven Domain were all dead.

Even the Will Dharma Form of the Eternal Realm had most likely been destroyed by Lin Xun! The realization left the spectators speechless, their minds blank with shock.

......

On the twenty-second day after Lin Xun’s arrival in the Sixth Heaven Domain, atop Heavenly Fortune Divine Mountain, he had annihilated ten ancient beings at the perfect Transcendence Stage and destroyed two Eternal Will Dharma Forms.

The news spread like wildfire across the heavens.

“How terrifying...how could he possibly have done this?”

Countless major forces were shaken to their core upon hearing the news.

“According to those who witnessed it, when the battle erupted, the heavens collapsed, the earth split apart, and even the sun and moon lost their light. Forget those at the Heavenly Longevity Realm, even old monsters at the Nirvana Spirit Stage were forced to retreat far away, unable to even glimpse the battlefield.”

“There’s no way Lin Xun achieved this by himself. How could someone like him possibly shake the Will Dharma Form at the Eternal Stage?”

“There must have been someone aiding him in secret!”

“Of course!”

“Don’t forget that the Origin Sect is one of the Four Great Ancestral Courts. How could they possibly have stayed out of this?”

Voices rose across the heavens, filled with disbelief and uproar. Few could accept that the mighty forces dispatched by the Ten Clans Alliance had been completely annihilated by Lin Xun alone.

When the topic turned to Lin Xun’s combat power, everyone reached the same conclusion. It was utterly impossible for him to have achieved this alone. Lin Xun, of course, offered no explanation.

Some things in this world simply defied reason. They shatter convention and give birth to miracles. Unless witnessed with one’s own eyes, no one would ever believe them to be true.

“The Zheng Clan is finished!”

Some predicted that the Imperial Immortal Zheng Clan that served the Ten Clans Alliance would inevitably face total annihilation. Sure enough, the very next day after the battle on Heavenly Fortune Divine Mountain, the Zheng Clan was struck by an earthshaking calamity.

Just like the nine Immortal Imperial Clans that had fallen before it, the Zheng Clan’s high-ranking members were slaughtered, its Emperors crippled, its law power stripped away, and its very foundation erased from existence.

This same ruthless pattern...who else could be behind it? In an instant, another great storm swept through the Sixth Heaven Domain.

......

Heavenly Fortune Divine Mountain had long since been reduced to dust. However, Lin Xun did not leave. He remained amidst the ruins as if nothing had happened. He sat in meditation, calm and composed, quietly waiting in silence.

Slaying Wang Daoxing and the other ancient monsters had earned Lin Xun a trove of spoils, enough cultivation resources to keep him worry-free for a long while.

Deep into the night, heaven and earth were vast and silent, and Lin Xun sat cross-legged in the ruins.

“With my current strength, if I were to suddenly unleash the Gate of Exile, I could easily erase a Will Dharma Form of the Eternal Realm. Even if the opponent possessed a time-related treasure, it would hardly make a difference...” Lin Xun murmured, deep into thought.

In the past, his cultivation had been limited, and the divine powers he unleashed were easily countered by enemies who came with time-related artifacts. Now, things were different. His cultivation had reached a level where he could easily suppress even ancient monsters at the perfect Transcendence Realm.

In such a state, even if the enemy invoked a time-related artifact, it would be utterly useless, just as in his battle against Wang Daoxing and the others. They had come prepared, wielding treasures infused with temporal power to counter the force of time. Clearly, they knew well that Lin Xun’s innate divine power was terrifying.

However, they never imagined that Lin Xun could now slay them effortlessly with his cultivation alone, without even calling upon his divine powers. That was the true reason behind their total annihilation.

“If the Ten Clans Alliance learns of this, will they send even stronger reinforcements...?” Lin Xun thought aloud.

He decided to wait a little longer. If they had been frightened off, there was no need to linger in the Sixth Heaven Domain any further.

......

The Eighth Heaven Domain. The Immortal Imperial Wang Clan.

Within a magnificent hall bathed in divine radiance—

Crash!

A porcelain teacup shattered to pieces. Wang Zhongtian, patriarch of the Wang Clan, sat rigidly in his seat. His refined, handsome face was dark as stormclouds. On either side of the great, the high-ranking members of the Wang Clan sat in grim silence.

News from the Sixth Heaven Domain had just reached them.

“It must have been a trap!” one elder growled. “The Origin Sect used Lin Xun as bait and set up an ambush in advance in the Sixth Heaven Domain. Otherwise, with that boy’s abilities, he would’ve been obliterated!”

Another elder nodded. “That brat may possess heaven-defying strength and walk the Eternal Supremacy Path. He can perhaps contend with those ancient monsters at the perfect Transcendence Realm, but I would not believe that he could slay a Will Dharma Form of the Eternal Stage.”

“It’s certain that the Origin Sect intends to start a war ahead of time. This whole thing was a trap they laid deliberately!”

The hall erupted into a chorus of outrage.

Wang Zhongtian remained silent throughout.

Since the Immortal Dao Battle in the Ten Directions Demon Realm, less than a hundred years had passed, yet two of the Wang Clan’s perfect Transcendence powerhouses had already fallen to Lin Xun.

One was Wang Zhongyuan, who Lin Xun killed on his way back to the Origin Sect. The other was Wang Daoxing, who fell in the Sixth Heaven Domain.

It should be known that even as the number one Immortal Giant of the Eighth Heaven Domain, with its immense foundation and prestige, the Wang Clan only had around thirty cultivators who had ever reached the Transcendence Stage throughout the ages.

However, among them, only nine had attained the perfect Transcendence Realm! In less than a century, two of those ancient figures had perished at Lin Xun’s hand. The blow was so heavy it felt as though Wang Zhongtian’s heart was bleeding.

Worse still, the Will Dharma Form of Cang Jiansheng, whom the Wang Clan had borrowed from the Eternal Divine Cang Clan of the Ninth Heaven Domain, had also been destroyed. If word of this reached the Cang Clan, they would surely erupt in fury and might even hold the Wang Clan accountable for such a disastrous failure!

“Patriarch, what should we do?” someone finally asked, rousing Wang Zhongtian from his grim contemplation. His gaze swept across the hall, taking in the faces around him, each one burning with barely contained fury. Then, he drew a deep breath, forcing down the turmoil in his chest.

“This matter cannot be left unresolved!” he declared. His voice was hard as iron. “I’m certain the other nine Immortal Giants have also received this dreadful news, and there’s no way they’ll just sit still and swallow such humiliation in silence.”

He rose to his feet, his eyes cold and sharp as blades, “Send word at once. Summon the patriarchs of the other nine Immortal Giants to our Wang Clan. Two days from now, we will convene to discuss matters of utmost importance!”

......

Two days later.

The Wang Clan.

Within a grand hall, the patriarchs of the Ten Immortal Giants had gathered.

“Brother Wang has summoned us all...surely you already have a plan. Why not share it with us?” said Fu Chaolan, patriarch of the Fu Clan, his voice low and steady.

Clad in blue and with a handsome face, he sat with effortless composure, like a dragon coiled, a tiger crouched.

“You all know what happened in the Sixth Heaven Domain, so there’s no need to repeat it. I summoned you here to discuss how we shall avenge ourselves against the Origin Sect!” Wang Zhongtian’s tone grew heavy. “To tell the truth, I’m furious, but I have found no effective means of reprisal.”

Uncertainty flickered across the faces in the hall. Wang Zhongtian wasn’t alone, every one of them felt equally helpless. It wasn’t that they feared the Origin Sect, but they couldn’t find a way to strike under the current circumstances.

For one, the Origin Sect was sheltered inside the Origin World, protected by Divine Rank law power, an impenetrable barrier that prevented any invasion.

For another, in the Eternal True Realm, every clan and faction connected to the great figures of the Origin Sect had long since relocated to the Origin World and settled there permanently. As a result, they no longer had any leverage or means at all to threaten the Origin Sect.

Although Lin Xun had showed up in the Sixth Heaven Domain, the annihilation of Wang Daoxing and the others made the Ten Clans Alliance realize that Lin Xun was very likely nothing more than bait, a trap carefully laid by the Origin Sect.

In such circumstances, none dared to rashly send more forces into the Sixth Heaven Domain. The hall grew taut with tension. Seeing this, Wang Zhongtian immediately realized that these veteran patriarchs, like himself, had found no effective plan either.

He spoke in a low voice, “Everyone, in my opinion, if we are to take revenge, we must start with Lin Xun! Even if the Origin Sect has laid a trap in the Sixth Heaven Domain, once the Ten Clans Alliance deploys sufficient force, every scheme and plot will be crushed!”

The other patriarchs narrowed their eyes.

One asked bluntly, “Previously, ten perfect Transcendence powerhouses and two Eternal Will Dharma Forms were deployed, and they still were wiped out. In light of that, what scale of force would it take to break the Origin Sect’s scheme?”

Wang Zhongtian fell silent for a moment before speaking, “Even if the Origin Sect has laid its plans in the Sixth Heaven Domain, it’s impossible for them to mobilize all their forces. After all, once important figures like Xuan Feiling leave, there will be no one left to preside over the sect. At that time, even the power of the Divine Rank law won’t be enough to protect everyone within it.”

The others nodded in agreement. They had already considered this as well.

Wang Zhongtian went on, “It’s certain that the Origin Sect holds at least two Eternal Will Dharma Forms. Otherwise, there’s no way they could have crushed the Will Dharma Forms of Elders Cang Jiansheng and Wen Jiugao.”

Someone interrupted, “Brother Wang, we all understand what you mean. Just tell us how we should proceed?”

All eyes turned to Wang Zhongtian.

Wang Zhongtian inhaled sharply, a wild light flashing in his eyes. “If we’re going to act, we’ll go all out. When the Ten Clans Alliance was formed, we agreed that, against the Origin Sect, each of us would send five perfect Transcendence powerhouses, thirty Transcendence cultivators, and over a hundred Nirvana Spirit experts.

“Since we’re going to the Sixth Heaven Domain to exterminate Lin Xun and crush the Origin Sect’s plot, let’s mobilize the full might of the Ten Clans Alliance and strike together!”
