The Five Elements Holy Island was gone.

The entire area collapsed, including the Verdant Palace, Purple Gold Sacred Mountain and Lake Heart Island. Everything had sunk into the lava lake.

In the end, even the lava lake sank and vanished.

But deep below the ground was a suspended Dao platform with multiple chains across it, emitting prohibition qi of the Great Dao.

A jade stone enveloped in chaos qi was standing on the dao platform. Within it was a floating figure, a tattered golden scripture, and a pill shaped like a horned dragon.

“I will remember you all. You all can’t escape! How dare you snatch what belongs to me! When I come out, you all will have to die!” a shrill and furious voice rang from the jade stone.

Soon, the voice faded, and everything sank into silence. Darkness shrouded the entire area.

Imperceptibly, an old ape figure appeared in front of the dao platform, staring at the being in the jade stone that had once again fallen into a deep slumber.

“Fortunately, the sacred medicine left by the Master is still there…”

After a long moment, the old ape let out a sigh, thinking of the handsome young man and the octagonal nine-storey pagoda in his hand.

“Is it that pagoda? It still exists in this world…” he muttered.

Then, he transformed into a rain of light and disappeared into the darkness.

……

In the vast desert, a figure darted like a bolt of lightning, vanishing from the world in a flash.

Before long, a group of murderous-looking figures blotted the sky as they sped past, trying to catch up to the figure.

Naturally, it was Lin Xun and the experts of the Dragon Whale Clan.

Boom!

Lin Xun came to an abrupt stop and brought out the Four Coiling Dragon Pillars, instantly trapping an expert of the Dragon Whale Clan into the illusion.

Very quickly, the Dragon Whale Clan expert with Heaven Ascension strength was killed and Lin Xun collapsed on his buttocks, gasping for breath.

His face was pale, and his brows were creased with fatigue. He had almost exhausted his physical strength.

However, he knew that he couldn’t relax or let his guard down. He took out a bottle of medicinal pills, consumed them, and used his remaining strength to refine the medicinal effects. Hopefully, he could restore his strength as soon as possible.

The pursuit had already been going on for one day and one night.

Occasionally, Lin Xun would summon the Four Coiling Dragon Pillars to slaughter Dragon Whale Clan experts who had struck out alone. He was like a scheming hunter.

The Four Coiling Dragon Pillars had magical effects—They could transform into an illusion isolated from the outside world, and, once trapped inside, even a Life Death Stage King wouldn’t be able to break out for some time.

The mysterious treasure had helped Lin Xun slaughter several Dragon Whale Clan experts along the way, including veteran Heaven Ascension Stage experts!

However, he also suffered a lot. The consecutive battles consumed a lot of his strength and put a lot of strain on his body. Not only that, he had sustained several injuries and hadn’t had the time to tend to them.

Moreover, although the Four Coiling Dragon Pillar was magical, its power would gradually weaken. When that happened, enemies would be able to break out of the illusion.

Worst of all, enemies would use the opportunity to set up an ambush for when Lin Xun walked out of the Four Coiling Dragon Pillars. At that time, he would have to face attacks from all sides.

Almost all the injuries that Lin Xun had sustained along the way had come from such situations.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After a moment, Lin Xun awoke from meditation, and he instantly knew that the enemies had surrounded the Four Coiling Dragon Pillars once again.

“This is too much!”

He gnashed his teeth. If he was at his peak condition, he wouldn’t need to fear anyone and could crush all enemies.

However, injuries had accumulated, and his physical strength had been exhausted. It wouldn’t be wise for him to fight head-on. Otherwise, he would be in danger of being killed.

“When I get out, I must find a place to break through to the next cultivation level. As long as I advance to the Heaven Ascension Stage, I wouldn’t need to be afraid of Lin Lang or Yu Xiaosheng!” He got up, drew a deep breath and took out Broken Blade, his expression resuming its usual calmness.

Once he was prepared to fight, nothing in the world could distract him. That was the fighting spirit he developed in Blood Kill Camp.

As he stepped out of the illusion, he turned his hand over, and a bright red lantern-shaped fruit appeared in his hand, shining like the sun. It was spewing out mist-like essence and emitting a tantalizing aroma.

A fruit of the Treasure Lantern King Ginseng!

Lin Xun swallowed it without any hesitation.

He was always worried about wasting such a divine medicinal fruit by using it in unnecessary circumstances. But now, his entire body was in an extremely bad state. He would suffer a fatal accident if he encountered any more enemies along the way.

He couldn’t care about wasting precious medicine anymore. He decided to consume it and put an end to everything in one battle!

Boom!

The second the glistening fruit touched Lin Xun’s lips, he felt as though a scorching sun was releasing tremendous medicinal power and replenishing his strength and healing his body at an unbelievable speed.

It was powerful and pure, but not violent. It was strong enough to make Lin Xun groan in satisfaction.

𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

His injuries healed instantaneously like a miracle.

“A drop of liquid of the Treasure Lantern King Ginseng is said to be able to restore a dying person to their peak condition. It indeed deserves its name and reputation.”

Lin Xun inhaled deeply, appreciating the tremendous power that was pulsing in his body like a volcano. It was an unprecedented power that he had never felt!

Swoosh!

Without any hesitation, he withdrew the Four Coiling Dragon Pillars, wielded Broken Blade and charged out.

“He came out!”

“Kill him! We can’t let him escape again!”

“That little bastard still isn’t dead?”

Furious roars broke out as soon as Lin Xun appeared. A group of Dragon Whale Clan experts had long surrounded the area with blazing murderous intent lingering around them like malicious spirits.

They immediately launched into action when they saw Lin Xun appear!

Rumble!

All kinds of weapons erupted with brilliant light as they poured down like a tide. The tremendous accumulation of power seemed capable of obliterating the area.

Unquestionably, many other cultivators would be slaughtered on the spot without being able to react to the devastating attacks coming from all directions!

Fortunately, Lin Xun came prepared.

“Go!” he thundered.

Starry brilliance swept out from Broken Blade as it slashed through the air. It was Moon Catch. A pure, sacred moon rose from the battlefield, illuminating the mountains and rivers with its splendid light!

Rumble—

The moon instantly broke through the waves of attacks like they were pieces of paper, turned them into showers of light, and sent them scattering in all directions.

Unable to dodge in time, some Dragon Whale Clan experts almost lost their lives from the impact. They could only scream in agony and cough up blood.

One strike destroyed everything!

Screams of anger and wails of pain rang endlessly in the area. They couldn’t believe that the severely wounded and dying teenager would unleash such terrifying powers all of a sudden.

Lin Xun’s dark hair was bunched causally behind his head and his face was peaceful and calm, but his eyes were flashing like lightning and a superior air surrounded him.

Broken Blade emitted a clear cry in his hand like a dragon’s roar, making Lin Xun look more majestic and imposing. He was like a young genius cultivator!

“Why...why has his aura changed? He has become much stronger than before!” someone exclaimed in panic, face blanching.

Color also drained from the faces of other experts.

“Who cares! Let’s attack him together!” someone thundered.

Pu!

But before his voice died away, Lin Xun emerged in front of him like a ghost and brought his blade up in a slash with lightning speed. In a flash, a head dripping with blood tumbled to the ground!

“I have no grudge against you, but you all hunted me down all the way here. You have gone too far, and I have to pay you back by sending you on your way!” Lin Xun’s voice was indifferent but thick with murderous intent.

The overwhelming killing intent caused the air to whimper and induced shivers all over the Dragon Whale Clan experts’ bodies. He has indeed become stronger!

“Kill!”

Simultaneously, they launched into action and dared not to disregard their situation.

The pursuit had already exhausted them so they would have given up if Lin Xun hadn't been severely wounded and on the verge of death.

However, it never crossed their minds that Lin Xun would recover so quickly and grow so much stronger!

They realized their situation was bad.

Boom!

That side of the world plunged into chaos—earthshaking explosions rang in rapid succession, beams of light wreaked havoc upon the world as they swept through, and the area within a radius of tens of miles was turned into a wasteland.

Lin Xun’s figure moved unhindered across the void and Broken Blade glowed with a starlight brilliance and heaven-defying might in his hand as it slashed in all directions.

The Dragon Whale Clan experts fell one after another, screaming in misery, roaring in anger and wailing in terror.

The bloody and ghastly scene dyed the desert bright red.

What was power?

Lin Xun vividly displayed the meaning of power. As he swung Broken Blade, his figure flickered across the battlefield like an invincible warrior!

He had accumulated a lot of anger and hatred in his heart after being chased for so long. Now that his strength had recovered, he wouldn’t hold back.

“Run!”

It didn’t take long for the remaining Dragon Whale Clan experts to break down from the terrifying pressure and flee for their lives.

But how would Lin Xun let them leave? He swiftly caught up to them using the Hornless Ice Dragon Step and continued the slaughter.

Pu!

As soon as a cultivator was about to run for their lives, a blast of blade qi split them into two halves and splattered blood everywhere.

Boom!

On the other side, a woman cloaked in a divine glow was moving stealthily, but in the blink of an eye, the light around crumbled apart and her body collapsed to the ground!

“Quick! Quickly go and find the Saint!”

The Dragon Whale Clan experts felt so helpless and terrified as if they were lost dogs being hunted by Lin Xun.

As for Lin Xun, he followed behind them at an unhurried pace. He was now wielding the No-Nonsense Bow rather than Broken Blade.

The body of the bow, which seemed to be formed from the bones of the dead, emanated a fierce and malevolent air. As Lin Xun applied a little strength to it, the blood-red bowstring was drawn tight and emitted a blood-thirsty buzz.

Shua!

An arrow of nothingness fired across the air, silently piercing the head of a Dragon Whale Clan expert thousands of feet away and bringing up a chilling fountain of blood.

Without even glancing at the victim, Lin Xun once again drew the bow, resembling a killing god from hell tasked with the mission to harvest all lives along the way!
