Lin Xun was actually honing his cultivation arts in the midst of the Extinction Wind Tribulation!

The black wind whistled and raged as it covered a radius of over a thousand kilometers. The furious storm sounded like gods and demons howling all at once as it shook up the area around it.

Other than Lin Xun, everything else in this radius had been completely extinguished. All living things had been destroyed and even the empty void acted as if it was being torn to pieces.

At this time, everyone knew without a doubt that if any other cultivator tried to get close they would die within an instant. This was because this tribulation was truly too terrifying.

Whooooooo~~~~

The wind tribulation became more and more frightening. Heaven and earth was under turmoil as the black tempest surged up violently. The entire sky was covered, making the entire area resemble the start of the apocalypse.

Following that, even Lin Xun was engulfed in the storm and was unable to be spotted.

……

At a distance far away from this stretch of wilderness was a city called Blood Mist.

At this moment, many cultivators in the city were alarmed and coincidentally began to soar into the skies together. All of them looked in the direction of the wilderness.

They could see that the sky in that area was as black as ink. It looked like a smoke signal that was screaming that something horrifying had happened there, like a demon lord descending. It was truly a frightful scene.

A single glance was enough to make everyone shiver as if it had suddenly become chill.

“What is that?”

Many people’s expressions had changed and they yelped in alarm.

“It’s a heavenly tribulation…Extinction Wind Tribulation ah…now I know that what was recorded in ancient times is actually real…”

A cultivator from the older generation sighed and muttered if he was sleep talking, “From this we can see that a true heaven-defying freak has appeared. Otherwise, it’d be impossible that such a terrifying tribulation would appear!”

Numerous cultivators broke out into an uproar as they were all incredibly shocked.

“Is the person undergoing the tribulation a heaven pride? But then, just who is it?”

“Let’s go and see!”

The people who were curious instantly shot up with a burst of light and whizzed through the sky towards the far-away wilderness.

The cultivator from the older generation shouted out a warning, “Be careful! You absolutely must not get too close to where the Extinction Wind Tribulation covers. Otherwise, you are all destined to fall at your current levels of cultivation!”

However, this failed to scare off the other cultivators. Instead, it made them all the more curious. This was a heavenly tribulation that was rarely seen throughout the ages, so just what exactly had caused it?

The black wind rose like a tide and covered the heavens and earth, making that region transform into a hell land that was incredibly fighting.

“This is too scary. Just which dao friend is undergoing such a tribulation?”

When some cultivators came over, their eyes widened and they inhaled sharply once they took in the scene.

Such a large tribulation had never happened recently in the West Infinity World! It was too inconceivable!

“Perhaps, it was only in the ancient past that people could see such a terrifying tribulation, right?” some other cultivators sighed.

“Just exactly who is undergoing this tribulation? Why can’t we see who it is? In the West Infinity World, just who has enough heaven defying talent to draw down something like this?”

Even more cultivators couldn't suppress the curiosity in their hearts. They opened their eyes wide as they looked around, but they still couldn’t spot the person who had caused all of this.

Bang!

Suddenly, an oppressive sound came from the dome of the sky. Even though it was quite far from them, it still made the observing cultivators’ chests feel stuffy, hearts almost bursting. It was so uncomfortable that a few of them even coughed up blood.

Someone exclaimed in surprise, “Look!”

All of them could see that the hell-like land, which had been covered by the Extinction Wind Tribulation, had suddenly begun to emit a bright light. Numerous divine lights and rainbows appeared and combined to become a Divine Derivation Wheel!

The divine wheel was like a giant sun as luminous beams of light effused from it. Even the Extinction Wind Tribulation couldn’t dim it as it was too dazzling.

The divine wheel was perfectly round and gently rotated in the sky, revealing an endlessly pure and vast appearance.

An imposing image of a deity using an exceptional fist art unfolded, causing the skies and seas to boil. Ten thousand spirits were extinguished amidst the shaken up heavens and earth.

Then there was a scene of a heavenly blade dashing toward the heavens, a projection of stars falling, a moon full enough to engulf the world, a single sun’s illumination, and many other frightening illusions.

There were also images of many ancient mythological animals, such as the hornless ice dragon, Bixi, Bi’an, Suanni, Baxia, Pulao, Chaofeng…

One after another appeared and disappeared in quick succession from the resplendent divine wheel. It was truly a miraculous and world-shaking phenomenon.

Following that, even a godly archer appeared as he shot down a sun and a golden crow cried blood!

However, almost no observer was able to see these scenes because the divine wheel was too resplendent and radiant. It was a giant sun spewing out light and no one could look closely at it.

“Derivation wheel! This heavenly tribulation actually appeared because the person is attempting to step into the cyclic derivation stage!”

“Heavens! What kind of heaven-defying freak is this to produce such a thing? This person is merely stepping into the cyclic derivation stage, yet managed to call down such a rare and unique tribulation.”

The crowd of cultivators were very shocked. They had finally realized that the person undergoing this tribulation was probably a freakish younger generation heaven pride!

“Is the great age really here? How come it feels like ever since Demon God Lin appeared there’s been more freaks showing up now?”

A few cultivators began to shiver.

“Demon God Lin? Hmph, all of the current peerless geniuses loathe and wish to attack him as everyone believes that it’s just a false reputation. How could he possibly be compared to the freak who’s undergoing the tribulation now?”

There were also many cultivators who looked down on Lin Xun and used the scene in front of them to verbally attack the so-called Demon God Lin…

Of course, this was quite ridiculous and comical of them. If they had known that the person undergoing this tribulation was the Demon God Lin they disdained, then what would they be feeling?

Bang!

Within the Extinction Wind Tribulation, the divine wheel resembled a sun as it became even more radiant. Later on, an explosion of mystical dao sound came from its midst as if ancient sages were chanting sutras. The sound echoed through the heavens and earth, vast and measureless.

At the same time, a faint stern image appeared on the back of the divine wheel. Its entire figure was hazy in the bright radiance such that no one could clearly see it.

In the far distance, it made people feel as if a legendary god was descending!

Crack!

The unknown figure raised its head up high and casually tore the Extinction Wind tribulation that was covering the sky as if it was a piece of frail cloth. A giant crack immediately appeared.

Within that moment, bright rays coming off of the divine wheel engulfed the nine heavens and swept away the rest of the Extinction Wind tribulation completely away!

All of the cultivators observing sharply inhaled. They almost couldn’t believe their eyes.

From what they knew, undergoing a tribulation was an extremely harrowing and dangerous task. Out of sheer luck, there were some who managed to survive a close brush with death after experiencing such a disaster.

However, the person undergoing this current tribulation seemed to be incredibly strong. With the flip of a hand, the cultivator had actually ripped and blew away the entire tribulation!

“What…”

All of them were completely dumbfounded and stood there motionlessly in shock.

Once they came back to their senses, the area where the tribulation had reigned had long become tranquil again. It was as if everything had been washed away. The air was calm and serene, and there wasn't a single sign that any disaster had ever descended.

It was as if everything that had just happened was just an illusory nightmare.

In addition, that strong figure had also disappeared as if the cultivator had evaporated into thin air. No one knew when that person had actually left.

But they were all certain that that person had successfully passed a heavenly tribulation that had only been written down in ancient legends.

Furthermore, that cultivator had smashed through the tribulation in a method so powerful that it was completely out of the realm of logic!

Within a thousand kilometers, the mountains had been crushed into fine powder and all living things had been extinguished. The land was cracked and broken, resembling the aftermath of a giant battlefield. It was truly a shocking sight.

All of this served to prove just how harrowing the previous calamity had been.

“Just who is that person?”

That was the question running through all of their minds. Even until the very end, they weren’t able to see that person’s appearance clearly. This made them feel quite disappointed and frustrated.

“From this we can all say that this kind of heavenly freak is definitely not an ordinary cultivator. After conquering this tribulation, I’m sure they will shoot up abruptly in the world. They could truly become one of the best of the best!”

Everyone agreed with this assessment.

A cultivator from the Windspeaker Clan had already transmitted everything into a leaf from the News Tree. As soon as he got back to the city, he began to disseminate the information.

“A peerless individual has been born today and managed to survive through a tribulation that is rarely seen as they stepped into the Cyclic Derivation stage! Just who is this mystery person? No one knows!”

As soon as he thought of how the news would travel and what kind of clamor it would cause, the expert from the Windspeaker Clan became so excited that his entire body trembled.

……

Clear creek water gushed and flowed, making gurgling water noises. Drops of water burst into the air, reflecting the sunlight like sparkling gems.

On the edge of the creek was a green deer chasing a butterfly through a cluster of flowers. It cried out in joy.

Lin Xun smiled as he watched all of this. After a long period of time, his fingertips moved slightly, branding a bit of spirit inside the green deer.

This was a technique called Coiling Martial Sutra, and it was an ancient inheritance from the Blood Lion Clan.

This green deer had once carried a severely injured Lin Xun and traveled through the treacherous wildlands with him, so there was karma between them.

Furthermore, Lin Xun had succeeded in advancing to the Cyclic Derivation Stage. Thus, it was time for him to leave. Before going, he decided to leave the deer deer an opportunity. As for how far the green deer could go in the future depended on the creature’s good luck and fate.

Lin Xun thought for a bit and then took out a storage pouch and hung it on the green deer’s neck. Inside were some medicinal pills and materials suitable for cultivation.

After finishing, he gently stroked the green deer’s head and smiled. “Little Fellow, we will meet again in the future if it’s meant to be.”

He flashed a smile, turned away, and left.

The green deer was flabbergasted and stood there blankly. A bit of time passed before it finally realized what happened. It galloped on all four hooves, charging in the direction that Lin Xun had left. It was obviously quite reluctant to part with him and didn't want to be left behind.

Unfortunately, it was quickly disappointed. Within a short period of time, it discovered that it could no longer find any traces of Lin Xun. All it could hear was the sound of the creek gurgling.

The green deer dithered in place, frustrated and discouraged. It whimpered and let out a few sad sobbing sounds.

After a long period of time passed, it dispiritedly lowered its head before turning around and bounding into the ancient thicket.

“Little Fellow, take care of yourself.”

Lin Xun was on a very distant summit and had seen the green deer’s every movement. He also couldn’t help from feeling a bit sad.

Finally, he silently waved a hand in the direction the green deer had left in before floating away.

……

Blood Mist City.

As soon as Lin Xun appeared at the outside of the city gates, he could sharply sense that all of the people coming and going stared at him for a moment before going on their way. All of their expressions were different too.

Lin Xun couldn’t help from rubbing his nose as he silently wondered, just what the heck was going on?

𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Once he entered Blood Mist City, he could tell that every single cultivator who had noticed him all stiffened when they saw him. Their eyes had widened, and they all gazed at him suspiciously, as if they weren’t sure of something.

Furthermore, Lin Xun had discovered that there were many cultivators following him from behind. All of them acted as if they were scrutinizing him closely, trying to figure out his current state.

There was something very fishy about this!

But just what had happened recently? Why did it seem like everyone recognized him?

Lin Xun suppressed the questions in his heart and continued to walk forward. However, he increased his speed. Within a blink of an eye, he disappeared into the busy and crowded streets that were filled with people bustling about.

Before long, rumors about ‘Demon God Lin appearing in Blood Mist City’ began spreading quickly and actually went out of the city…
