Clang!

Lin Xun stepped forward and swung his fist. Dazzling fist-force erupted and collided with the pine-patterned sword with a deafening roar.

The power of the pine-patterned word was forcibly neutralized amidst an explosion of light.

"Strong!"

Mu Jianting’s eyes narrowed.

Meanwhile, a Bixi phantasm emerged from Lin Xun’s back. The hundred feet tall phantasm ruthlessly rammed into the incoming lightning rod with a tremendous force that seemed capable of sweeping away the sun and moon.

Boom!

The sky and land trembled as if a volcanic eruption was occurring. The huge force of the impact made the lightning rod buzz wildly, numbing part of Lei Qianjun’s hand while his blood churned inside him.

He was also somewhat shocked. Only after exchanging blows with Lin Xun did he realize that the latter’s strength was far greater than he had anticipated!

Kill!

Mu Jianting’s robe billowed as his aura turned exceedingly fierce like a sword. Yin yang dao power pulsed from his blade as he slashed, sending out a stream of black and white qi that screamed of terrifying and deadly force.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Black and white sword qi rapidly crisscrossed into a radiant sword net that enveloped every possible direction.

This was a supreme heaven pride, an individual that stood at the peak of the Cyclic Derivation stage and was far more outstanding than their peers.

Lin Xun fearlessly rushed forward without any intention of avoiding. His black hair danced around him as he employed the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art and the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations to meet the attack.

Time seemed to come to a standstill as the surrounding air rapidly exploded. It was as if two ancient divine mountains were colliding with a thunderous boom.

All kinds of terrifying scenes appeared like tidal waves as blinding light made the surrounding area fade into white.

In a few seconds, the two individuals exchanged over a dozen blows.

In the end, Mu Jianting lost the exchange. A dragon made of fist-force soared into the air, sending him flying as he almost coughed blood in agony.

"How is he so strong?"

Mu Jianting was a little shaken and surprised.

He had been following Lin Xun’s feats since the Four Seasons Pavilion event and regarded him as a major opponent since the start of the five trials. Hence, Mu Jianting never once displayed any carelessness against such a foe.

However, he never imagined that this enemy would be so terrifying!

Boom!

On the other side, Lei Qianjun furiously swung his lightning rod. The sweeping blow was fierce and powerful to the extreme, boasting destructive force that could destroy the five elements.

However, it did not take long for him to also be forced back by Lin Xun’s fist-force. This caused Lei Qianjun’s expression to change slightly as he grew increasingly vigilant and serious.

The two supreme prides exchanged a quick look, seeing the surprise on each other’s faces before they simultaneously attacked again with their full might.

After a brief probing, they thoroughly understood that neither of them was Lin Xun’s match in a one-on-one situation.

The only chance to suppress him was to join forces and use their full strength!

Rumble~

For a time, the loud booms continuously rang out as if landslides and tsunamis were constantly occurring. The frightening commotion soon drew the attention of many experts.

"Dang! Mu Jianting and Lei Qianjun have joined forces against Demon God Lin." Several people gasped in shock.

It was absolutely a battle for the ages: a rare clash between supreme heaven prides.

"What did Demon God Lin do to offend the two of them? He seems to have way too many enemies, right?"

Numerous experts were also amazed and nearly unable to believe what they were witnessing.

Previously, they had already foreseen that Demon God Lin would suffer an unimaginable blow after reaching the Ancient Dao Lantern Tree.

However, they did not expect that in addition to Yu Lingkong, Sha Liuchan, Zhongli Wuji, Qing Lian'er, and Zhuo Kuanglan, even Mu Jianting and Lei Qianjun would make their move against Demon God Lin!

Didn’t he have way too many enemies?

"Hmph! If Demon God Lin was a successor of an ancient sect, would these supreme heaven prides dare to bully him like this? Rather than him causing trouble, it seems to me that they’re after the blessings and Saint treasure in Demon God Lin’s possession!"

There were also people who felt indignant for Lin Xun.

……

Currently, several blessings born from the Ancient Dao Lantern Tree had already been seized, while others had managed to flee and disappear.

However, the heaven prides didn’t give up because there were still many flower buds that had yet to bloom.

They were waiting for the next opportunity to present itself.

While waiting, however, they never imagined that they would witness such an unrivaled match.

More and more experts were alerted by the commotion and swiftly discovered the ongoing showdown.

……

Boom!

As the battle grew increasingly intense, light began to steam from Lin Xun. He did not back down at all despite facing two supreme heaven prides, but instead chose to face them head-on.

In this moment, he was a demon god; his brightly shining figure was seemingly untouchable as he nimbly shifted around the battlefield like a mighty sun.

Mu Jianting and Lei Qianjun were not lacking either. They both displayed combat power far beyond their peers and wielded powerful ancient dao arts. One resembled a sword sovereign, while the other was akin to a thunder god. Although they displayed differing styles, they were both frightening in their own right.

Clang!

A sword struck from the east, gleaming with peerless sharpness. However, it was smashed to pieces by a punch from Lin Xun before it could approach, forcing Mu Jianting to retreat.

"Muddy Heaven Subdue!"

Lei Qianjun charged as he swung his rod overhead while lightning wildly danced around him.

Lin Xun’s eyes flashed icily as he boldly advanced to meet his opponent. Fist-force surged forth like an unstoppable tsunami, seeking to sweep away everything in its path.

Light erupted between the figures as wind and dao light devastated the surroundings. Space began to collapse into itself, showing just how terrifying the fight was.

Meanwhile, Mu Jianting also attacked with sword-will, displaying impeccable teamwork with Lei Qianjun.

The duel was extremely dangerous with dao arts and explosions flooding the area. It was a sight that made many cultivators’ hearts tremble.

"Disorderly Heaven Subdue!"

Lei Qianjun charged again with a battle cry. His imposing figure was suffused with lightning and the rod in his hand was wrapped in thousands of lightning bolts as if heralding the descent of a lightning tribulation.

Lin Xun met the attack head-on with fist-force. His fist-force was infused with the combined essence of the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art while also containing the Dao Meaning of Water, imbuing it with an indestructible sensation that could shake the very heavens itself.

With a loud bang, Lei Qianjun's attack was once again neutralized. Meanwhile, Lin Xun was already rushing at Mu Jianting.

A gloomy look emerged between Lei Qianjun's brows. Even now, they were not only unable to kill Lin Xun but also failed to suppress him. This filled him with a grave sensation and indescribable anger.

As a supreme heaven pride, it was already shameful for him to join hands with Mu Jianting. However, it was even more humiliating that they were unable to subdue Lin Xun despite working together.

"Heaven Breaker Subdue!"

He furiously roared as he raised his rod and charged again, causing the surroundings to tremble.

Dazzling lightning runes appeared one after another on his giant body. It was the essence of the Lightning-Jolt Dao which flared with the radiance of ten thousand lightning bolts.

𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Thunder rumbled as if the gods were shouting as the weather rapidly changed.

It was undoubtedly an incomparably terrifying attack that was branded with the essence of countless secret arts. Just its aura alone caused the surroundings to fall into disorder as lightning wreaked havoc in the area.

"This is how it should be!"

Lin Xun's lips curved into a smile as he fused all nine fist-forces of the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art into his fist and prepared to release it.

Unexpectedly, the punch appeared empty and ordinary, containing no trace of smoke or fire. The moment it was released, however, the surrounding space rapidly began to collapse, and cracks spread as if unable to endure the power contained within the punch.

The crowd gasped in shock as their scalps tingled. The fight between these supreme heaven prides made them despair. How could any of them match these monsters who had reached the limit of the Cyclic Derivation stage? Anyone who even got too close would just die!

Dong!

Fist-force and rod collided. A split second later, the crowd saw Lei Qianjun being thrown backward. He staggered in the air in an attempt to stabilize himself, his face clearly much paler than before.

In contrast, Lin Xun appeared to be completely fine. He immediately rushed forward, intending to take advantage of this opportunity to subdue Lei Qianjun.

"Demon God Lin is incredible!"

Numerous experts were dumbstruck.

Even against two supreme heaven prides, he wasn’t suppressed and was instead able to counterattack, defeat Lei Qianjun, and was now mere moments from dealing the finishing blow.

It was a horrifying and unimaginable outcome.

Chla!

However, before Lin Xun could deal the final blow, Mu Jianting intercepted from the side. His pine-patterned sword flowed with black and white yin and yang qi while giving off a heart-palpitating gleam.

"Yin Yang Chop!"

Boom!

A stream of sword-will tore open an alarming crack in the air as it swung at Lin Xun’s hand.

Lin Xun turned around and executed the Bi’an Stamp. It descended like a divine mountain with a Bi’an divine beast perched atop it looking down on the world.

Crack! Crack!

No matter how sharp or fearsome the black and white sword-will was, it still crumbled inch by inch under the Bi’an Stamp’s pressure.

At the same time, Lin Xun stepped forward and a snow-white hornless ice dragon rose into the air and ruthlessly swatted Mu Jianting away with a swing of its tail.

Everyone was shocked and stupefied as their hearts trembled uncontrollably. Although they had expected Lin Xun to be very frightening, they never imagined that he would be this terrifying.

It was the perfect depiction of an unrivaled demon god!

He was insuppressible, unstoppable, and invincible. He made it feel inevitable as he defeated his opponents one by one.

Mu Jianting and Lei Qianjun were no ordinary individuals and were considered top tier even among the supreme heaven prides. They were clearly a step above the likes of Sha Liuchan.

Anyone else would have been single-handedly crushed by either one of them because they were near-invincible in the Cyclic Derivation stage.

However, both of them had now been defeated despite joining forces!

In the distance, Mu Jianting was in a sorry state. His arm was bleeding, his chest was nearly shattered, his complexion was pale, and his blood churned wildly, making him feel the strong urge to cough blood.

On the other side, Lei Qianjun wasn’t faring any better. His hands were still numb from holding the rod, and he did not dare to imagine what would have happened if Mu Jianting had not come to the rescue.

The duo’s expressions had become very grave. They could already tell that Demon God Lin had likely attained the legendary supreme path. Otherwise, there was no way he would possess such irrational strength!

Rumble!

Lin Xun did not give them the chance to catch their breaths and immediately dashed forward. Clear light rumbled around him as his aura overflowed and soared into the sky. It appeared that he had no intention of sparing anyone.

"Demon God Lin...Demon God Lin..." The sight of this made several experts mumble incomprehensibly, unable to form proper sentences due to shock.
