The Prodigies War

Chapter 2186: A Battle Spear that Arrives Across the Stars

Lightning bolts raged with piercing splendor, illuminating this galaxy.

The ruling tribulation lightning bobbed up and down in the air, releasing a destructive aura that caused the void around to crumble in thunderous noises.

It was beyond terrifying, as though untouchable, and filled with a supreme taboo breath.

However, all the old monsters were puzzled why, even after Lin Xun had exploded to bits, that the lightning decree still had not dissipated.

“This is the first fortune regarding the Eternal Supremacy Path since the beginning of time. How could it possibly go away just like that?”

Many of them were restless in excitement. Lin Xun was dead, whereas they were still here!

Swish!

Suddenly, a figure rushed out and deployed a palm strike in the direction of the lightning decree.

Apparently, this old Emperor monster could no longer hold back from claiming this supreme fortune for himself.

Pop!

The old Emperor instantly exploded, and even his spirit was reduced to bits under the lash. He was obliterated.

The others trembled. The greed that had just sprouted in their hearts was immediately extinguished, replaced by a chilling shiver.

In just a second, an old Emperor expert had been annihilated in both body and soul! Who would dare to seize the fortune under this circumstance?

Almost at that same moment, an illusory figure converged from rolling lightning and turned into a furnace.

BOOM!

The furnace shone and suppressed the decree within it.

“It's him, the little scumbag is still alive!” exclaimed an old monster in shock.

The others had also seen it. They watched on, stupefied. That brat is still alive?!

This was indeed unbelievable. Everyone had seen him burst into powder, his head destroyed and dissipated, but now, he had come to life again.

Rumble

The furnace boiled and buzzed under the churning black clouds.

All kinds of law powers emerged around the furnace and manifested a variety of arts. They were visually faint but constantly dominating everything around with a suppression that could ignore even time.

However, what the furnace was trying to suppress was the lightning decree. The latter was so overwhelmingly powerful that in a matter of moments, the furnace exploded!

This tribulation was indeed too terrifying. Any other cultivator would have been wiped out long ago if they had to go through this to certify Emperorhood.

Before the crowd of old monsters could react to the turn of events, Lin Xun's body had already started to rebuild!

Light of mysterious law power danced around him and once again formed a Great Dao Furnace, which then swallowed the lightning decree and tried to suppress it.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

The sky shook and the earth quaked. The light from the tribulation pierced the starry void. Destructive turbulence swept in all directions. Lin Xun in his furnace form tumbled violently like a straw amidst raging waves.

Despite that, he still held fast while doing his utmost to contain the tribulation lightning. Life, death, pain, thoughts…nothing concerned him anymore.

Right now, he only wanted to subdue this tribulation and refine it into his own!

Even if he was blasted to the point that only a trace of his will remained, he still would not give up so easily.

The audience of Emperors was dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe that this was something a young man who hadn't even become an Emperor could do.

BOOM!

Unfortunately, the furnace once again exploded shortly after, burst by the lightning decree, and vanished into the blinding tribulation sky.

“He should be absolutely dead now, right…?” Some old monsters didn’t dare to be so sure. After so many repeated slaps in the face, they couldn’t help but develop self-doubt.

“Say, even if he can really survive this tribulation, after that, how long will he…live?” commented one slowly.

Hearing this, many old monsters chuckled. So what if Lin Xun successfully passed tribulation? With hundreds of them Emperor experts here on top of the herd of starry sky beasts eyeing him from afar, how long could he live?

“But if he lives, then that also means the supreme fortune also goes to him, no?” One of them frowned.

“Even in that case, he still isn’t strong enough to use it for now. We can just take it from him,” said another leisurely.

This allowed the others to relax quite a bit.

Someone suddenly shouted, “He really still isn’t dead…!”

The crowd looked over, and sure enough, they saw Lin Xun once again coalescing among the infinite light of the tribulation.

He then transformed into a furnace and restarted the process of suppressing the lightning decree!

The old monsters looked at one another in disbelief, their hearts in turmoil. Lin Xun's display of what seemed to be immortality horrified them.

They didn't dare to imagine what kind of heaven-defying power it took to be able to do this.

“No, we can't just stand and watch like this.” Sword Emperor Yunguang of Imperial Kong Clan, the white-clad man who had used Xia Zhi to threaten Lin Xun earlier, raised his voice with a grim expression. “Who would like to join me and capture that woman?”

Saying that, he directed his gaze toward Xia Zhi in the distance.

“I'll go with you, Brother Kong.”

“How can I allow myself to be left out of such a good plan?”

“Once she’s captured, Lin Xun will definitely be threatened and disoriented!”

Immediately, several dozen Emperor experts walked forward, each radiating a monstrous aura and boundless killing intent.

Sword Emperor Yunguang looked visibly uplifted. He sneered, “Lin Xun, that woman will die because of you!”

With that, he and those Emperors aggressively teleported in the direction of Xia Zhi.

“Despicable, this is too despicable…” Battle Emperor Fengling's veins exploded, his eyes blood-shot as he tightly pressed the typhoon of rage in his heart. He didn't stop them; it would be no different from trying to get himself killed because he was all alone.

Moreover, Xia Zhi was so strong that she could slay starry sky beasts comparable to fifth or sixth realm Emperors. How could she be an easy target?

Rumble!

The starry sky became increasingly stormy as the furnace that was Lin Xun was once again destroyed. However, it quickly reformed and resumed the suppression.

This cycle of destruction and suppression repeated time and time again, as if never-ending.

However, who could even imagine the dangers therein?

At the same time, the hunt against Xia Zhi had also begun.

Xia Zhi did not run, but instead even chose to take the initiative to attack. Alone, she wielded her bone spear and confronted dozens of old Emperor monsters!

They weren’t unintelligent starry sky beasts. They were experienced experts who had mastered their own daos and all sorts of supreme combat techniques. The threat they posed far exceeded that of same-level beasts.

To make an analogy, a beast of first realm Emperor level would be no match at all for its human counterpart in a real battle!

To everyone’s shock, however, several old Emperor monsters were killed as soon as the fight started.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

Xia Zhi's fighting style was still as simple and efficient as ever. Charging forth with her spear, she set off a bloody storm.

Her first victims, two second realm Emperors and one third realm Emperor, had all died in a single strike. One had their chest stabbed through, one got their head smashed, and one was split in half!

The gory scene took all color from the faces of the rest. It suddenly reminded them of the fact that earlier, this woman had helped save Lin Xun from his crisis with a single spear, killing the beast army to the point they had fallen like raindrops!

“She's all alone. How can she be a match for us?! Do not be frightened!” shouted Sword Emperor Yunguang before he rushed forward. His sword streaked across the stars with a sharp momentum.

“Get her!” The others shot out together and besieged Xia Zhi, each of them vigilant and cautious. They intended to take things slowly as they didn’t want to risk their lives.

Unfortunately, none of them knew about the fury growing inside Xia Zhi after she had witnessed the perils Lin Xun had gone through during his tribulation while being unable to help him at all.

It had filled her with resentment and killing intent with nowhere to vent, but that had all changed when Sword Emperor Yunguang and his party approached.

She struck out with rage!

She needed to vent, otherwise, she doubted she would be able to withstand this torment.

How powerful was a completely enraged Xia Zhi?

The old Emperor monsters around her intimately experienced it during what happened next.

In mere seconds, Xia Zhi charged bravely into the battlefield like a lone wolf and executed seven opponents in a crushing fashion. Pieces of flesh and blood flew across the void, triggering countless shrieks.

No one had expected that Xia Zhi would still be so tough under siege.

The other party was one of Emperors from various major forces in the Ancient Nebula Road. Each of them could be considered the apex with strength that allowed them to look down upon all other beings!

Yet, in front of Xia Zhi, they were as weak as farm animals!

Only those above the fourth realm were able to fight her equally, but when it came to suppressing her, even fifth realm Emperors couldn't do it.

This put a dark expression on Sword Emperor Yunguang's face and filled him with endless rage. Even he hadn’t thought that he would fail to capture this woman despite having the help of so many fellow cultivators.

Xia Zhi marched around the field, unstoppable. Right at this moment…

Kaboom!

The depths of the starry sky suddenly produced a strange movement. A battle spear that glowed with a terrifying dao light, as if breaking the shackles of time and space, came whistling out.

Poof poof poof!

A group of starry sky beasts scattering in the vicinity didn't even have time to dodge before the weapon penetrated them, creating a bloody path!

On this bloody path were at least thirty beasts who had died on the spot regardless of their strength. They had been like paper, unable to block the spear in the slightest!

It was too terrifying, diffusing an aura that seemed to originate from eons ago. Its momentum was overbearing, ready to kill even Buddhas if they dared to block it.

“It is it!” screamed an old monster in terror.

Some time in the last seven years, a sixth realm Emperor had gotten killed by a battle spear who had swept out from the depths of the universe during their station at the Great Wall of Thousand Daos.

Many people speculated that the owner of this battle spear was most likely a terrifying expert from the other side of the cosmos.

Now, it had appeared once again!

Sword Emperor Yunguang and his group were horrified. They dodged without thinking, and then were thankful to realize that the target of the spear wasn’t them.

Instead, it was Lin Xun, who was fighting his tribulation!

Seeing this, Xia Zhi froze in the middle of her conquest for a brief moment before she stormed toward the spear at full speed.

No matter who it was, she would not tolerate them interfering with Lin Xun's tribulation!

However, she despaired at the incredible speed of that battle spear. It was as if it could tear through the restrictions of space and ignore the shackles of time.

In an instant, it had arrived underneath the tribulation clouds!
