Boom!

Lin Xun stepped forward, mobilizing the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art with all his strength. His dazzling punches were filled with the Dao Ripple and produced terrifying visions of crumbling mountains and valleys, the collapsing sky, and the splitting earth.

“Ah…” screamed the four Jade Qilin Clan experts in front. Their faces twisted with horror as they watched their chests explode and blood splatter everywhere.

The battle had only just begun, but four cultivators had already been eliminated. It made the others feel despair!

“Roar!”

At the same time, a tremendous Hornless Ice Dragon emerged at Lin Xun’s feet, raising its snowy-white head high and bellowing. It circled the area, mercilessly scanning everyone with its ice-cold eyes.

Rumble—

The Hornless Ice Dragon leapt into the air, causing the space to explode and the ground to crack. Its terrifying power deterred many nearby cultivators and made them flee in panic.

Unfortunately for them, it was too late. The Hornless Ice Dragon whizzed into the air, and its tail swept away a dozen of powerful cultivators and hurled them to the earth.

That was the Hornless Ice Dragon Step, a wonderful and unpredictable art, but also a unique skill. Once fully mastered, a cultivator could summon the Hornless Ice Dragon with one step. It could suppress enemies from all directions!

After experiencing life and death in the lightning tribulation, Lin Xun had fully mastered the mystery of the Hornless Ice Dragon Step.

“Hurry, let’s kill him together!”

Many experts hollered, “Kill him and take the treasures on him!”

Enemies were racing towards Lin Xun from all directions. The cultivators from all clans had been dispatched.

Within seconds, blinding lights beamed across heaven and earth, and aeth tools and treasures were launched from everywhere. Terrifying rays of light crisscrossed in the air, spreading rapidly like a tide.

The spectacle was too terrifying!

All cultivators present possessed at least Heaven Ascension Stage strength. Not only that, but among them were also geniuses of the younger generation as well as veteran cultivators.

They were all dispatched together to besiege Lin Xun! How terrifying was that?

The world dimmed and lost its splendor, the fierce wind roiled the clouds and the aura of destruction wreaked havoc upon the world. The curtains to a world-shattering battle had lifted.

All cultivators had fierce murderous looks on their faces. They wouldn’t hold back, whether it was to kill Lin Xun or to take the great treasures from him.

Facing the joint attacks of so many experts, ordinary Heaven Ascension cultivators likely would have wet their pants and be struck with terror. The combined power was enough to make anyone feel despair.

However, Lin Xun was special.

He didn’t flee, but instead took the initiative to fight!

Boom!

Divine brilliance surged around his body

His whole body was surging with divine radiance mingled with wisps of Dao Ripple. Clasping the Broken Blade, he resembled a sword immortal. He had an air of superiority and extraordinary bearing.

He again activated the Hornless Ice Dragon Step to its full majesty. His illusion-like figure sped forward with unbelievable speed once again, leaving behind many blurred images

Every time it flickered, it set off a bloodbath!

Cultivators were killed on the spot one after another, raining blood on the battlefield. Some had their stomachs split open, some had their necks slashed, and some had their bodies directly crushed.

The scene was bloody and ghastly.

The cultivators all came to kill Lin Xun, so they did not show any mercy.

Bloody mist lingered between heaven and the earth, and battle cries reverberated across the mountains and valleys.

Lin Xun resembled a tiger storming into the den of a pack of wolves. He set off a rainstorm of blood.

“Is...he not wounded from the lightning tribulation and on the verge of death? Why is he still so terrifying?”

As the battle continued, frightened and panicked screams rang from the battlefield.

Indeed, Lin Xun’s strength and fierceness far exceeded their expectations. They all treated him as a lamb to be slaughtered, but who would have thought that he would suddenly turn into a young devil instead?!

He had only broken through to the Heaven Ascension Stage. Even so, he not only stood his ground under the encirclement of a group of powerful cultivators, but he also smashed his way out and set off a blood storm. How would the others not be terrified?

In the entire world, who could do the same?

Even the saints and saintesses of the various clans likely wouldn’t be able to dim his brilliance.

“Kill him! If that boy isn’t eliminated, he will be a huge thorn in the future!” someone roared.

He realized the seriousness of the problem. If Lin Xun possessed such heaven-defying strength in a severely wounded state, how terrifying would he be in his peak state?

The slaughter continued.

The world was in turmoil. The thick stench of blood and the blood-curdling screams formed a purgatory-like scene.

Boom!

Finally, a tyrannical figure attacked. A simple and unadorned stamp shrouded in brilliant golden light was mercilessly launched out.

The giant stamp was no doubt a secret treasure. Its appearance triggered a vision of wailing ghosts and howling wolves, and a shower of blood.

Ancient Demon Suppressor Stamp!

The ancestral saint treasure of the Dark Wood Clan!

Many cultivators were able to identify the treasure, but what chilled them to the core was that the human race teenager didn’t try to dodge the stamp. The broken blade soared into the air and, with a few strikes, blasted the Ancient Demon Suppressor Stamp across the air!

Unquestionably, the broken blade was a secret treasure not inferior to the Ancient Demon Suppressor Stamp. Otherwise, how could it send the stamp flying so easily?

Realizing this, many experts felt their hair stand on end. The human teenager not only possessed heaven-defying strength but also unbelievably rare treasures!

Lin Xun kept quiet, his expression indifferent and calm. He was like a great sun shining brightly.

The battle had helped him realize the power that belonged to the Heaven Ascension Stage. By examining and displaying his power, he strengthened and tempered it.

After all, the Heaven Ascension Stage was a brand new cultivation stage, so he had to adapt and learn to control the new power.

Die!

The Heaven Ascension Cave rumbled in his body, and his blood and qi pulsed through his body like dragons. His every movement produced powers far beyond the ordinary level. He resembled an immortal as he wielded the Broken Blade and launched into a killing spree.

That was the path to the supreme after the ultimate elevation of strength. It was one of the strongest paths since ancient times and also the heaven-defying path.

Countless amazing geniuses had been born since ancient times, but only a handful could set foot on the strongest path.

The rest of the cultivators were unaware of such a path.

However, anyone able to set foot on it was destined to be different from the world. It was a true path for the heaven prides of the world.

The so-called geniuses would appear dim next to such heaven prides!

The supreme path!

Those on such a path could be called the king of their peers, the supreme power of the Great Dao!

The battle continued, becoming more and more intense. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, mountains crumbled one after another, ancient forests collapsed and multiple cracks split the ground.

Blood stained the earth and the air, and screams and yelling filled every inch of the area.

“He already had the power to fight against me when he was at the Spirit Sea Stage. Now that he survived the lightning tribulation and set foot into the Heaven Ascension Stage, how many people in Deva Secret Realm can compete with him?” Saintess Lin Lang murmured bitterly in the distance of the battlefield.

“He is a little tricky to deal with. No, he is very tricky. The human boy must be a supreme-level figure mentioned in ancient records. They are invincible against cultivators of the same cultivation level. If we let him live, he is destined to rise above all the other geniuses in the world in the future.” Saint Yu Xiaosheng’s face was overcast.

He had studied some ancient books and knew some secrets, so he could vaguely guess what kind of potential Lin Xun had.

It made him feel apprehensive.

Neither he nor Saintess Lin Lang were participating in the battle out of caution of revealing their identities too quickly, but after witnessing Lin Xun’s might and strength, they felt very lucky that they didn’t get involved.

They also didn’t have the confidence to be able to kill Lin Xun.

However, besides feeling fortunate, their hearts felt very heavy. They were both genius figures of their generation and also a Saint and Saintess in their respective clans.

However, Lin Xun gave them immense pressure.

“We must improve ourselves as soon as possible!”

Simultaneously, the two came to the same decision. Lin Xun’s sudden strong rise made them feel a sense of urgency. They couldn’t allow the human youth to continue to outshine everyone else on the path of the Great Dao.

Many other top figures of their respective clans were watching in the dark to avoid competing with the other cultivators. This wasn’t out of fear, but a kind of self-respect. They didn’t want to lower themselves. However, when they witnessed Lin Xun’s extraordinary performance, they secretly felt threatened.

“Huh?”

Yu Xiaosheng suddenly noticed something and his eyes lit up. “That kid seems unable to withstand anymore!”

At the same time, Saintess Lin Lang, as well as other top figures hiding in the dark, also shifted their gaze to the battlefield.

Lin Xun, who appeared invincible, was coughing up blood. His brows were tightly knitted and his face was extremely pale. He seemed badly wounded.

His condition was affecting his prowess, pushing him into a dangerous situation!

At first, the unexpected scene surprised all the experts. But then, their faces were alighted with wild joy. That guy has been seriously injured in the lightning tribulation and can’t fight anymore!

A moment ago, they were in despair after witnessing Lin Xun’s superior performance. How would they have thought the situation would change all of a sudden?

“Hahaha…”

Some cultivators couldn’t help laughing out loud and some let out a sigh of relief. Then, they all clenched their teeth and frantically charged towards Lin Xun!

“We should move too!” Saint Yu Xiaosheng’s eyes gleamed with killing intent.

“Let’s go!” Saintess Lin Lang brought out a blood-colored bell.

Almost at the same time, the top figures who had been hiding in the dark also launched into action, realizing that the true opportunity had come.

Lin Xun leapt up on the battlefield, performing the Hornless Ice Dragon Step. He spun around and vanished like an illusion.

The fact that he bolted with such unbelievable speed indicated that he couldn’t withstand anymore and had to flee for his life!
