Wei Jun suddenly felt a chill that made his blood turn cold.
He abruptly raised his head and immediately saw Lin Xun looking at him from far away.
Those bottomless, ice-cold eyes were akin to a raging abyss that sought to devour everything!
Lin Xun was holding a sinister great bow that was made from bones with a bowstring that looked as if it had been soaked in blood. The hideous weapon seemed to seize the soul of anyone who looked at it!
Shit!
Wei Jun’s expression changed drastically.
He instinctively shouted as he took out a silver animal bone. A holy glow spread from it, enveloping his body.
Buzz!
With a peculiar hum, silver light flashed and disappeared along with Wei Jun’s figure.
Plop!Meanwhile, an invisible arrow arrived at Wei Jun’s original location and blasted a deep hole in the ground!
Only a split second had separated Wei Jun from death. However, he had managed to react in time and flee using a mysterious animal bone artifact.
The purple-dress girl beside him returned to her senses at this moment. Her complexion instantly turned deathly pale, and her clothes became drenched in cold sweat when she saw Wei Jun disappear and an alarming hole appear on the ground.
If that arrow had been aimed at her instead…
The purple-dress girl did not dare to continue this line of thought.
“He’s coming!”
“Does he intend to start a slaughter?”
“Quickly escape!”
Terrified voices sounded as the originally watching experts panicked and scattered.
It was all because Lin Xun was moving in their direction!
Rustle!
Without any hesitation, the purple-dress girl also turned and fled.
The youngster was too terrifying. Even a great Heaven Ascension cultivator like Daoist Bear had failed to kill him and ultimately withdrew.
Who could stop the youngster if he continued his rampage?
Bang!
However, before the purple-dress girl could get very far, a mighty power surged from behind her and ruthlessly forced her to the ground, causing her to shriek in terror.
“What is this place?”
A cold, indifferent voice sounded like the interrogating voice of a demon, causing the purple-dress girl to tremble as she instinctively replied, “Please don’t kill me…I’ll tell you everything you want to know!”
“Good.”
Lin Xun appeared. His clothes were still dripping with blood, and his wounds had yet to close, making him look extremely terrifying.
“You…”
The girl was taken aback, not expecting Lin Xun to agree so easily.
Without giving her any time to think, she was picked up and they began flying toward the endless night sky.
……
……
This was how the crazy battle caused by the ‘strange phenomenon’ ended. Although peace returned to the night, the ripples caused by the battle did not stop here.
“Have you guys heard of a Spirit Sea youngster in Ancient Spirit World who can face a Heaven Ascension expert without losing?”
“Why is such a heaven-defying youngster so unknown?”
“I’ve never heard of him.”
Heaven Ascension experts secretly communicated their thoughts under the night sky.
They had witnessed the great battle between Lin Xun and Daoist Bear from hiding and were shocked by the power the youth had displayed.
In their view, such a monstrous youngster should have become famous long ago.
Hence, they could not help but try to guess which mysterious hidden sect or ancient forbidden land the youngster came from. Why else would they have never heard of him before?
“Perhaps he is not from the Ancient Spirit World but some other world!”
Someone made a bold guess. In the history of the Ancient Spirit World, there had been similar incidents where numerous peerless heaven prides had crossed the boundary between worlds to fight as many opponents as they could and seek a more perfect road to ascend their cultivation.”
There were even invincible natural-born saints with unfathomable cultivation who had searched the land for worthy opponents and unrivaled opportunities.
Someone asked, “Could a monster like him have come to enter the Treasure Drop Blood Plain?”
Treasure Drop Blood Plain!
All the experts immediately fell silent.
Mount Luohou had stood here for countless years and was a land of opportunity that was known to everyone in the Ancient Spirit World. Treasure Drop Blood Plain was the most famous location within it.
The path to Treasure Drop Blood Plain would open after a certain period of time. That time frame differed and spanned a minimum of three years to a maximum of twelve years.
Anyone who grasped the chance to enter would likely obtain numerous unimaginable ancient treasures!
These treasures originated from ancient ruins and could not be compared to any of the modern-day aeth treasures. In fact, some of these ancient treasures could even contain mysterious inheritances.
This had already been proven many times in the Ancient Spirit World. There were more than a few real-life examples of cultivators who had entered in the past and somehow obtained an ancient treasure that allowed them to become super successful in their cultivation journey.
“Hmph, not just anyone has the qualifications to enter Treasure Drop Blood Plain. From what I know, many top elites from the established sects of Ancient Spirit World have already started gathering. It will not be so easy for this mysterious youngster to have a slice of the pie.”
“Indeed. Although he has the strength to face the Heaven Ascension stage, he’s ultimately a lone wolf. He will be destroyed if he tries to compete with those powerhouse sect successors.”
“That may not be the case. Although that youngster is alone, don’t forget that he can grow stronger in battle. Anyone who underestimates him will be in for a big surprise!”
Such discussions were rampant. Although none of them could come to a conclusive outcome, it was clear that the battle between Daoist Bear and Lin Xun had made many cultivators wary of him!
……
Ten days later.
Deep in the misty and dangerous mountains.
The ground shook as an enormous creature charged out of the mist. It was more than a hundred feet long and looked like a giant centipede with a draconic head and a body covered in eerie-looking scales.
However…it was currently fleeing for its life!
Trees and boulders were crushed in its path, leaving nothing but horrifying destruction in its wake.
Bang!
All of a sudden, a figure arrived and unleashed a dazzling fist-force that rushed forward like a dragon. With a loud bang, the terrifying centipede-like monster’s head was shattered as chunks of flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
The creature’s enormous body fell to the ground with a loud thud, never to get up again.
Lin Xun indifferently cut open the monster-beast’s corpse and retrieved a sparkling green monster core.
Nearby, the purple-dress girl was in a daze as she watched.
She had been tiptoeing around broken glass for the past ten days in fear of incurring Lin Xun’s wrath.
To her surprise, all Lin Xun had done was fight. She had already lost count of how many terrifying savage beasts he had killed. He was like a battle addict who saw nothing but battle.
As a result, Lin Xun had not paid her any attention for the past ten days.
Rustle~
Lin Xun returned, rousing the purple-dress girl from her thoughts. She tactfully took her spot behind him and continued to follow.
However, her pretty face soon turned pale. Unrestrainable exhaustion rose on her face as her figure began shaking unsteadily.
Lin Xun had not once rested for the past ten days. He was always either traveling or fighting and seemed to not know the meaning of fatigue.
The purple-dress girl ended up suffering as a result because she also could not rest. She could only grit her teeth and endure in order to keep up with Lin Xun.
Hence, she was already running on fumes and was nearly about to collapse.
That blasted freak, is his body made from metal and will never tire?
The purple-dress girl silently cursed Lin Xun with the last dregs of her energy.
Her consciousness suddenly turned fuzzy and her aura became unsteady as she fell from the air.
Oh no!
This alarmed the girl. She knew that she had hit her limit and would turn into a puddle of bloody pulp if she were to fall from this height.
Suddenly, a surge of power caught her falling body and gently placed her on the ground.
“You have two hours to rest.”
Lin Xun’s indifferent voice sounded in her ear. It was no less than a pleasant surprise that made the already despairing girl unable to believe her ears.
Since when did the cruel, demon-like youngster become so kindhearted?
Soon after, she took a deep breath and cast away these thoughts. After all, there wasn’t much time to recover. She quickly swallowed a few pills and began to meditate.
They had stopped at a low peak. From here, rising mountains and the ever-present churning mists could be seen in the distance while the cries of beasts would occasionally be heard.
Lin Xun silently stood there as his abyss-like eyes scanned the surroundings. Inside, he was extremely anxious.
Ten days ago, the battle with Daoist Bear had stimulated his latent potential, allowing him to materialize half of his aeth artery. Only a little more and it would have been fully formed.
However, Daoist Bear had withdrawn, halting all progress!
For the past ten days, Lin Xun had fought whenever he could, hoping to meet a strong opponent so he could continue the materialization process.
Although Lin Xun had killed more than ten powerful monster-beasts, none of them could fulfill his wish.
Worst of all, the berserk power in his body could not be controlled without the fully formed aeth artery. If this continued, the situation would become worse.
Take now for instance. Although his injuries were no longer bleeding, they had yet to recover because of the deteriorating situation in his body.
He needed to fight!
Lin Xun took a deep breath. He knew the problem could not be solved by any medicine. Only in the extreme conditions of a life-threatening battle could he find what he needed. He had no better solution.
Two hours soon passed.
The purple-dress girl was clearly keeping track of the time and immediately got up when the appointed time arrived. Although she had not fully recovered, she felt much better than before.
Just as Lin Xun was about to resume their journey, a terrifying, thick blood-colored light suddenly surged in the sky far away.
