Blood sprayed in every direction. Mournful screams shook the sky. Amid the ruins of shattered mountains and devastated rivers, wrecked by the terrifying battle, a scene of death and carnage unfolded like a vision of purgatory. Lin Xun’s true body and his three dao bodies rampaged across the battlefield, their combined powers amplifying one another, engulfing the heavens as they crushed everything in their path. Before long, four more Li Clan experts were slain one after another. One was shredded by a rain of sword qi. Another crushed to pulp beneath the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron. Others were incinerated, torn apart and disintegrated by dao arts... During the chaos, some tried to retaliate, unleashing powerful trump cards and killing techniques, but these either missed as Lin Xun evaded with perfect timing or were neutralized by the trump cards he wielded. In truth, this battle proved that the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, having refined and absorbed many kinds of immortal matter over the years, was now fully capable of withstanding even forbidden killing techniques. Even jade talismans imbued with immortal will and secret treasures infused with strands of law power were effortlessly suppressed by it! Simply speaking, after years of being nurtured by the powers of law and order, and absorbing many kinds of immortal matter, the cauldron had already transformed into something beyond the realm of ordinary Emperor-grade weapons. It was now a divine artifact. Thus, with Li Henshui’s death, the tide of the battle completely turned. At this point, only three Li Clan experts remained, desperately trying to hold on! A thick tortoiseshell battle shield shattered, and one of them, an eighth realm supreme Emperor, had his chest pulverized by Lin Xun’s fist. Under the crushing force, his body exploded into a mist of blood. “Run!” The last two shouted in panic, scrambling to break out of the encirclement. Suddenly, Lin Xun’s three dao bodies charged together, directing a lethal attack at one of them. Amid divine brilliance and a thunderous eruption of power, the man was obliterated, both spirit and body reduced to nothingness. Lin Xun was just about to finish off the final survivor when something made him pause. Frowning slightly, he halted mid-step. The next moment, he turned away without hesitation. Together with his three dao bodies, he gathered the spoils on the battlefield and left, disappearing in the blink of an eye. The lone survivor of the Li Clan stood stunned amid the carnage, unable to comprehend why Lin Xun had spared him. His gaze swept across the shattered landscape. He stood rooted among the ruins, his mind unraveling. He was the only one left! All of his clansmen had been reduced to ashes, erased from existence... A tide of despair, rage, grief and terror surged over him like a flood. That was the scene Gu Banzhuang, Yun Luohong and their forces witnessed upon arrival. Their faces paled. Eyes widened in disbelief. It was clear that a bloody massacre had erupted here just moments before. In addition, it was very likely that Li Henshui and the others were already dead! “Where’s Li Henshui and the rest?” Gu Banzhuang asked after drawing a deep breath, as if she still couldn’t believe it. “Dead. All dead...” The surviving Li Clan cultivator sat paralyzed among the mountain ruins, staring blankly ahead, as if possessed by a demon. Gu Banzhuang and the others exchanged glances, unable to contain the shock surging through their hearts. There were nineteen experts in Li Henshui’s party, and each one was stronger than the average cultivator. Now, only one remained! “This...was Lin Xun’s doing?” Gu Banzhuang finally asked. “If not him, then who else?” The Li Clan expert trembled all over. Then, as if recalling some horrific, blood-soaked scene, he let out a grief-stricken roar like a wild beast. “It was you! This is all your fault! You said we were only hunting down a clone...but it was all a lie! A lie—!” His voice shook the heavens, thick with despair and wrath, making Gu Banzhuang and the others’ flicker with unease. “How was I supposed to know that even Li Henshui wouldn’t be a match for him?” Gu Banzhuang sighed. Her enchanting, captivating face had darkened noticeably. As far as she knew, Li Henshui possessed a forbidden-like trump card, a statue known as the Immortal Golden Body, whose power was unimaginably terrifying. Even so, he had fallen... This was undeniably grim news that weighed heavily on her heart. “In addition to that monstrous strength of his, that boy must also possess some fearsome killing trump cards. Otherwise, there’s no way Li Henshui would have suffered such a devastating defeat,” said Yun Luohong. His voice remained calm, but a grave light flickered in his eyes. “Show us what you saw via your secret technique.” Gu Banzhuang turned to the surviving Li Clan expert. She was desperate to understand how Lin Xun managed to annihilate Lu Henshui’s entire group. However, the Li Clan expert roared back, “And what if I do? Can you kill Lin Xun? Can you?!” Being questioned so harshly, Gu Banzhuang and the others couldn’t help but feel somewhat embarrassed. In the Defending the Ring battle, the Nan Clan had suffered a crushing defeat. Now, the Li Clan had been slaughtered until only a single survivor remained. All this was enough to prove just how dangerous and terrifying Lin Xun was. Under such circumstances, could the combined strength of the Gu and Yun Clans really be enough to suppress someone like Lin Xun? A ripple of doubt stirred in everyone’s heart. “Haha, you can’t. In this Great Emptiness Immortal Realm, no one can kill Lin Xun. No one...” The Li Clan expert staggered to his feet and wandered off like a madman. His sorrowful and grief-stricken voice echoed endlessly across the desolate heavens and earth as he drifted farther and farther away. “Brother Luohong, what should we do now?” Gu Banzhuang turned her beautiful eyes toward Yun Luohong. The source of thɪs content is NoveIＦire.net Yun Luohong fell into a rare silence. Earlier, he and Gu Banzhuang had led a group in a different direction in pursuit of Lin Xun, only to return empty-handed. It wasn’t until they suddenly received a jade talisman from Li Henshui asking for help that they rushed here without hesitation, only to find they were one step too late. “That boy is far too dangerous. If we keep chasing him, I fear there will only be more casualties.” Yun Luohong finally spoke in a low voice after a long silence, his expression darkening. For someone like him, an Ancestor from the Seventh Heaven Domain, those words were no different from admitting inferiority. The Gu and Yun Clan cultivators all felt a tightness in their chests and fell into a gloomy silence. IsLin Xun...really undefeatable? The thought made them feel deeply unsettled. “It might not be a bad idea to give up now.” Gu Banzhuang seemed relieved and patted her full, snow-white chest. “There are Immortal figures stationed outside the Ruins of the Gods. If Lin Xun really manages to survive and escape this place, he definitely won’t be able to withstand the killing intent of those Immortals.” “Isn’t it shameful to just give up ?” someone couldn’t help but ask. Gu Banzhuang shot him at glare. “Shameful? Fine, then why don’t you throw your life away?” The person immediately shut his mouth. “It’s decided. This matter ends here.” Yun Luohong made the decision. His expression remained as cold and indifferent as ever, but deep down, an indescribable sense of frustration and defeat surged within him. A mere eighth realm supreme Emperor from the Ancient Nebula Road had inflicted such devastating casualties upon the Donghuang’s Four Clans that they were forced to abandon their pursuit. It...was indeed truly shameful! If word of this spread, the prestige of the Donghuang’s Four Clans would suffer a massive blow, and they would become the laughingstock of the Eternal True Realm. Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do... Only when one faced Lin Xun head-on could one truly comprehend how terrifying and heaven-defying he was. He was strong enough to make even Emperor Ancestor-level cultivators feel a chill in their hearts and tremble with fear! Lin Xun was unaware that both the Gu and Yun Clans had already withdrawn their forces and ceased the pursuit. At that moment, he had appeared in the depths of a golden desert shrouded in pale blue immortal mist. After instructing Little Five to set up a massive array, he sat down cross-legged and began meditating, rapidly swallowing bottle after bottle of rare elixirs. The previous battle had left him severely depleted, and he needed to recover his strength without delay. Of note, that battle hadn’t just cost him. It also brought him tremendous rewards. Eighteen new battle merits were added to his talisman, bringing his total to twenty-one merits! Moreover, the treasures and cultivation resources carried by Li Henshui and the others had all become Lin Xun’s spoils of war, and their value was so immense that it was impossible to estimate! However, what caught his attention the most was undoubtedly the statue currently sealed within the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron. It stood only half a foot tall, seated cross-legged and its entire body was pitch-black. The statue’s face was ancient and austere, its eyes tightly shut, and its expression seemed neither a smile nor a cry. Its hands were folded over its abdomen, forming a strange hand seal that exuded an eerie and mysterious aura. Lin Xun now understood that this statue was forged from the remains of an Immortal figure. It was so well preserved that it could be regarded as a true Immortal body! It was said that such remains, after being nourished and tempered by immortal power over countless years, could be regarded as a unique form of ‘immortal matter.’ After all, it was the remains of an Immortal! Although the statue was only half a foot tall, its power was condensed to the utmost. To anyone, it was an unparalleled treasure. Even Immortal figures would go mad fighting over it! More importantly, Lin Xun discovered a dormant will slumbering deep within the immortal statue. It was so powerful and mighty that it was beyond comprehension. This was the force that Li Henshui had attempted to awaken during their battle. Lin Xun had no doubt that had the statue truly awakened, he would have been instantly slain. It was simply too powerful! Far beyond Lin Xun’s current understanding of the immortal path. It was a pity that such a treasure could not be activated by him. This terrifying will could only be awakened through the Li Clan’s bloodline. No outsider could trigger it. Despite that, he wasn’t concerned. In his eyes, the immortal statue was a treasure trove of immortal matter, perfectly suited to serve as ‘nutrients’ for tempering the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron! As for the dormant will within it? It would be solely eroded and refined by the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, making it impossible for it to awaken again. Several hours later, Lin Xun emerged from meditation, his aura fully restored to the peak of the eighth realm Supreme Emperor Stage. “Only two days left...” He rose to his feet, contemplating for a moment before deciding to continue. Only the Immortal Imperial Clans, the Gu Clan and the Yun Clans, remained. He intended to use these last two days to destroy them both in one decisive strike!
