The black-robed man looked dazed and was about to say something. However, Feng Junlin raised a hand to stop him, “He’s right. I saw everything with my own eyes. There’s no need for further explanation.” The black-robed man’s face flushed with embarrassment. “Ling Xuanzi, he’s no match for you and deserved that beating, but he’s still one of mine. How do you propose we settle this?” Feng Junlin turned his gaze toward Lin Xun. He stood imposing and composed, radiating a natural dominance. He was undeniably a master, formidable and awe-inspiring, feared by many! “So what do you want to do?” Lin Xun’s eyes remained steady, his tone relaxed. “Let’s determine who’s superior on the path of the great dao.” Feng Junlin spoke in a commanding tone, allowing no refusal. “We have to fight sooner or later anyway.” Lin Xun nodded. “Fine.” Feng Junlin shook his head and said, “No, you misunderstood. If you can defeat the four people beside me, I’ll drop this matter.” Lin Xun raised an eyebrow. He had already sensed that the four by Feng Junlin’s side were far from ordinary. Two were Ninth Realm Ancestors and two were supreme Emperors. Even the black-robed man he had slapped earlier was a sixth realm supreme Emperor! “What do you mean by you’ll drop the matter?” Lin Xun laughed. “I don’t care to argue right or wrong, but frankly sending those four against me is no different from sending them to their deaths. Are you sure you want to do this?” Feng Junlin laughed at that, his violet eyes flashing dangerously. “Did you hear that? Ling Xuanzi says you’re all going to die!” “Young Master, leave it to us,” said a red-haired man in blue robes, stepping forward with a sneer. His eyes were full of menace. “We’ll show him the price of arrogance and ignorance.” Lin Xun gave him a glance, then looked back at Feng Junlin. “Why don’t you join in too?” “Haha, get past us first. But I doubt you’ll even get the chance.” Just then, an old man in gray robes with sunken eyes stepped forward, his voice indifferent and mocking. As he spoke, the four, the gray-robed old man, the red-haired man in blue, the black-robed man who Lin Xun slapped earlier, and a woman in green who hadn’t said a word, stepped into position. They stood in four different directions, as if following an eternal and immutable law. Though their stances seemed causal, they concealed profound and unfathomable mysteries. They were clearly no ordinary figures. At that moment, Lin Xun’s expression shifted slightly as he sensed a trace of danger in the air. None of the four possessed cultivation on par with Feng Junlin. Despite that, when they moved together, they seemed to be forming a mysterious formation, their auras intertwining and merging into one! At that moment, Lin Xun felt a strange pressure bearing down on him. “A joint battle formation?” Lin Xun guessed in his mind. “Ling Xuanzi, you’re finished!” the black-robed man snarled viciously, eyes gleaming with hatred. Lin Xun suddenly acted. He teleported through the void, launching a direct assault on the black-robed man. It was another solid slap. Lin Xun’s strength was so tremendous that it could reduce entire mountain ranges to ashes. However, the black-robed man was only blasted back, bleeding with a swollen cheek, but otherwise unscathed. Lin Xun raised his eyebrows, realizing that his strike had been neutralized by a strange force before it could penetrate the man’s body. “I’m going to kill you!” The black-robed man roared, nearly driven mad with rage. Lin Xun had slapped him once before, and now again on the other side of his face. He felt utterly humiliated. The four moved in unison, each radiating light as if shrouded in a raging haze of gray dao lightning, their figures veiled in swirling mist. At that moment, their auras, power, cultivation, and even vitality seemed to merge completely, as though they had become a single entity, sharing the same life force and harmonizing their cultivation. The black-robed man’s injuries instantly healed. Seeing this, Feng Junlin flashed away to observe the battle from afar. His violet eyes swirled with obscure, mysterious symbols. He had no intention of stepping in. This was not because he looked down on Lin Xun, but instead because he had another goal: To glimpse the secrets of Lin Xun’s daos. “Slash!” With a thunderous roar, the four launched their assault. Endless streams of dao light surged forward, engulfing the heavens and earth, transforming into gorgeous, multicoloured blade-like rainbows that cleaved toward Lin Xun. “Array diagrams inscribed within their bodies...” Lin Xun’s gaze flickered. This was no ordinary array. Each of the four controlled an array treasure, allowing them to create a constantly shifting and evolving array. It was mysterious and unpredictable. Furthermore, the four were definitely not ordinary figures. Two were Ninth Realm Ancestors and two were supreme Emperors. Together, they formed a mysterious formation that seized the fortune of heaven and earth. The power it unleashed was unimaginably terrifying. With this thought, Lin Xun launched a counterattack. He summoned the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron. Monstrous dao light surged forth from him, fierce and unmatched, as he charged forward unstoppably. However, as the battle dragged on, he realized that although he was breaking down the opponents’ attacks one after another, his own killing force was also being effortlessly neutralized! After careful observation, Lin Xun began to understand the reason. Their formation was based on the power of the Four Symbols, embodying the cycle of yin and yang, the harmony of rigidity and softness. The forces circulated endlessly, like the eternal renewal of the cosmos. Any attack launched against them was instantly dispersed and distributed across all four of them by the power of the array. In essence, each one bore only a quarter of the power. However, when they attacked together, their strength was merged through the array into a single force. It appeared that the four were striking individually, but in truth, their power was stacked into one unified, devastating blow! Lin Xun was astonished. What kind of array could perfectly fuse the power of four Emperors into one? He had never encountered such an array before. It was not to be taken lightly. Using cultivators as array flags was very different and more complex than traditional arrays. In addition, it was far harder to break. Moreover, each of the four possessed extraordinary strength and experience. When they worked together to mobilize the array, it was like a living array in combat! The battle raged on with overwhelming intensity. Chaos swept the battlefield and dirt and stones flew through the air. The heavens and earth seemed to flip upside down. Lin Xun did feel the mounting pressure and threat, but it wasn’t yet fatal. This gave him the chance to observe and gradually decipher the profound mysteries of this strange array during combat. “Interesting.” A glimmer of understanding flickered in his eyes. Suddenly, a dao sword erupted from the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, radiating with immortal brilliance. In an instant, it slashed down with unmatched sharpness. The red-haired man in the blue robe failed to evade in time. The sword pierced through his chest, blood spurting wildly. However, just as the blow landed, a strange and obscure power surged within him. As the four shared life and fate, the others swiftly helped him recover from the injury. This blow made all four opponents realize Lin Xun’s terrifying strength. Their expressions grew solemn and they no longer held back. “The guide of all realms, light of the Four Symbols!” With a deafening cry, vague and hazy dao diagrams unfolded above their heads, bursting with divine radiance that illuminated the nine heavens. Four Symbols Dao Diagrams! Each dao diagram corresponded to a powerful treasure. There was a dao sword inscribed with the Azure Dragon totem, a battle spear bearing the mark of the White Tiger totem, a great seal branded with the Vermillion Bird totem, and a shield etched with the Black Tortoise totem. Four completely different mysterious dao diagrams emerged, radiating dazzling light. They combined in the void, as if forming a world of gods and demons shaped by the Four Symbols, pressing down toward Lin Xun. The terrifying might of the array plunged the battlefield into an apocalyptic scene. Lin Xun’s expression darkened with surprise. No wonder the four were so confident and arrogant. They each wielded a mysterious dao diagram treasure. This was no ordinary array. “It’s time to end this!” Cold light flashed in Lin Xun’s eyes as the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron soared into the air like a world-destroying furnace, spinning with a thunderous roar and erupting with a power that devoured the heavens and obliterated all in its path. Heaven and earth trembled as the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron roared thunderously, suppressing the Four Symbols Dao Diagrams to the point where all four were trembling violently, and divine radiance burst in all directions. The four gasped, their bodies trembling and their expressions changing dramatically. Ling Xuanzi was simply too powerful! “What a treasure...” In the distance, Feng Junlin’s purple eyes flashed with a terrifying gleam. Awe stirred in his heart as he witnessed the might of the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron. He had never imagined such a heaven-defying, life-bound Emperor weapon could exist in the world. Lin Xun’s formidable display of strength made even someone like Feng Junlin take notice. “Kill! Use everything you’ve got! Kill him!” The thin, gray-robed old man bellowed furiously. His entire body roared and blazed with light. Above his head, a massive shield engraved with the Black Tortoise totem descended like a hundred thousand sacred mountains. The other three followed suit, activating their mysterious dao diagram and slashing toward Lin Xun, as if to suppress all laws in the world, sever every trace of the dao and erase him from existence. Lin Xun had already seen through their joint attack, so why would he hold back now? He fully unleashed his cultivation, manifesting the profound mysteries of the Great Dao Furnace Art. Fierce and overbearing, he was like the incarnation of dominance. Torrents of dao light crashed forward like a roaring tsunami. His unmatched murderous aura swept through the skies, shattering clouds as if to refine the heavens themselves! A deafening explosion erupted, sharp enough to pierce the ears. Although the four dao diagrams carried the cultivation of the four, they still couldn’t withstand Lin Xun’s full-force assault. They were blasted back again and again, emitting anguished shrikes as the totems etched into the treasures began to blur. Each of the four coughed up blood, staggering backward, their faces filled with disbelief. How strong was their opponent? Even with the power of the four of them combined, and the assistance of four ancient weapons, they still couldn’t subdue him! Instead they were crushed! At this moment, Lin Xun’s eyes gleamed with icy killing intent and his aura was only growing stronger. “The forbidden power of the Four Symbols, kill!” roared one of them. Gray mist surged from their bodies once more. It was a strange and sinister array power. Blinding beams of light pierced through the heavens, slashing toward Lin Xun. Lin Xun activated the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron again and struck back with full force. The clash between the two forces unleashed thunderous booms, deafening to the ears. If even a trace of that battle’s aura leaked out, it could flatten a mountain range and bring terrifying devastation! Within moments, the four spat blood once more. Their bodies were torn and battered, their faces as pale as paper. Finally, in the distance, Feng Junlin’s expression finally changed. He had lost his composure!
