The Prodigies War-Chapter 2615 Blade of Light and Shadow and the Gate of Exile
In the darkness of the restriction world, the sun and moon were sinking, and stars were falling. It was like the end of the world.
Luo Yunshan lifted his head slightly. Divine light surged in his eyes, and an invisible, terrifying might spread outward from him.
Boom!
Before the falling sun and moon could even reach him, they immediately exploded above his head, turning into a roaring torrent of dao runes that swept outward. As Luo Yunshan extended his hand and made a grasping motion in midair, the stars that were thundering through the sky suddenly trembled, froze in place, and then exploded all at once.
In that moment, it was as if countless fireworks had blood at once, dazzling, brilliant and blinding. The entire dark restriction world began to tremble violently.
Luo Yunshan remained standing where he was, calm and composed. He said indifferently, “Lin Xun, don’t mistake my Luo Clan’s sincerity as kindness. If you insist on being stubborn...you may very well be erased from existence.”
“The fun has only just begun. What’s the rush?” Lin Xun’s voice echoed in response.
His words had barely faded when the grand formation began to churn violently as wind, lightning, earth, and fire surged forth. Immediately after, billions of sword lights erupted with a thunderous roar, spreading out to form a vast ocean of swords. Bathed in the might of wind, lightning, earth, and fire, the sharp, resonant hum of countless swords rang endlessly in the air, shaking the soul.
Luo Yunshan frowned. A flicker of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath and flicked his sleeve.
Boom!
Instantly, terrifying immortal law power swept out like a storm, crushing everything in its path.
Heaven and earth trembled violently as countless sword qis exploded and disintegrated under the immortal might. Yet the sword qi seemed endless. Tens of millions of swords were densely packed, blotting out the sky as they surged forward in waves. The power they unleashed was utterly terrifying. Any cultivator at the Ancestor Stage likely would have been annihilated in an instant.
Even though an Immortal as powerful as Luo Yunshan had nothing to fear, he couldn’t fully dispel the barrage of attacks coming from all directions in such a short time. His frown deepened involuntarily.
Suddenly, he let out a cold snort. His sleeves billowed, his hair and beard flew wildly, and his figure seemed to grow infinitely tall. Violet immortal flames surged from him, and his presence became terrifying beyond comparison.
“Go!”
He formed a seal with both hands. Countless strands of immortal radiance gathered together, condensing into a blazing, sun-like wheel that rumbled forth through the void, crushing everything in its way.
Heaven and earth plunged into turmoil. Countless restriction forces churned violently as the purple immortal qi rampaged like a storm, as if to rip this world apart.
Hidden in the shadows, Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. He had battled Immortals before. For instance, back in the Forever Fall Forbidden Land of the First Heaven Domain, he had killed Zhu Hun, an Immortal from the Zhu Clan.
However, at the time, Zhu Hun was already gravely wounded and on the brink of death, which gave Lin Xun the opportunity to take him down.
Now, facing Luo Yunshan at the peak of his power, was an entirely different matter. Every move he made unleashed a force as devastating as a storm, capable of reducing all in its path to dust.
Boom!
The purple sun-like wheel swept through the sky, crashing and raging across heaven and earth. It radiated destructive power that shook the entire formation, causing countless restriction forces to groan under the pressure.
Lin Xun dared not hesitate any longer. Without a moment’s delay, he rushed forth from the shadows to launch his strike.
BuzzI
A billion rays of light surged from the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron as it soared into the sky, bathing his imposing figure in radiant brilliance.
“Hmph, still refusing to give up?”
Luo Yunshan’s eyes glinted with disdain as he pointed a finger.
Clang!
Amid the earth-shattering collision, the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron shuddered violently, nearly blasted away. Lin Xun took the brunt of the impact, causing his blood and qi to roil wildly, but he didn’t retreat.
Instead, he charged forward, unleashing the full extent of his cultivation. He was like a vast abyss crossing the heavens, imperious and unstoppable. Luo Yunshan’s expression flickered with surprise. That single finger strike could have easily slain any Emperor in the world, yet Lin Xun had dispersed it just like that?!
“With only an Emperor Ancestor-level cultivation, you dare challenge the power of an Immortal? In the whole Eternal True Realm, there’s likely no one else as laughably arrogant as you!” Luo Yunshan sneered and launched his strike.
Boom!
The earth quaked. The heavens trembled. Dao light flooded the skies. In the blink of an eye, the two clashed dozens of times, shaking the entire grand array to its core.
What unsettled Luo Yunshan was that, even after unleashing his true power, he still couldn’t suppress Lin Xun in direct combat! Though Lin Xun looked battered, completely overwhelmed and nearly crushed under the pressure, he wasn’t injured. Time and time again, he narrowly escaped disaster.
That made Luo Yunshan deeply uneasy. It was true that supreme Emperor Ancestors defied the heavens, but not to the point of contending with Immortals. That had always been an unshakable truth throughout the ages.
Despite that, Lin Xun was doing exactly that now. If word of this got out, it would surely cause an uproar across the world.
This boy really is the monster the rumors spoke of. If only he could be brought under the control of the Luo Clan... Luo Yunshan sighed inwardly.
Though his mind was churning with thoughts, his killing intent only intensified. He unleashed his immortal arts without restraint, each strike exerting a suffocating, deathly pressure on Lin Xun.
Before long, Lin Xun suffered a heavy blow and blood spilled from his lips. Only then did he fully comprehend just how monstrously powerful an Immortal could be.
Even with his cultivation at the pinnacle of the Supreme Emperor Ancestor Stage, and even with the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron unleashed at full power, he was still utterly suppressed, trapped in a desperate and perilous situation.
“If you still won’t bow your head, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Luo Yunshan’s expression was indifferent, but in truth, rage had long been simmering inside him since the earlier exchange with Lin Xun. Now, seeing the eyesore remain so defiant, his strikes became more domineering, forceful, and merciless.
“You talk too much.” A cold glint flashed in Lin Xun’s eyes. In the next instant, he activated Time Stopping. A pale, hazy light of time surged outward. Almost at the same time, resplendent gray-white law flame poured forth from the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, sweeping toward Luo Yanshan.
Boom!
The area was swallowed by a terrifying current of destruction. A shower of light scattered in all directions and divine radiance surged into the sky. Lin Xun had already retreated far away at the first possible moment.
The next moment, his eyes narrowed sharply. In the distance, as the shower of light dispersed, Luo Yunshan’s figure emerged. His robes were in tatters, his body scorched and covered in burn wounds, and his hair and beard had been incinerated. He looked utterly wretched.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t died! A flying dagger, as if sculpted from glistening jade, hovered before him, radiating a mystical aura. Faint strands of time energy drifted around it, sending chills through the heart.
It was clear that Luo Yunshan had relied on this blade to counter the power of Time Stopping, but he was unable to escape unscathed from the extinguishing law flame.
“Time Stopping... The rumors were true. You’ve awakened the second stage of the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer.”
Luo Yunshan’s face was livid, and divine light flashed coldly in his eyes. “What a pity. Before the Blade of Light and Shadow left behind by the Omega Lord, even the power of Time Stopping is useless.”
Blade of Light and Shadow!
Left by the Omega Lord!
Lin Xun’s eyes narrowed. “So you really came prepared.”
Luo Yunshan’s expression twisted with malice, “Since you already know this, why keep struggling? Must I suppress you before you’re willing to submit?”
Clang!
As the words left his lips, the Blade of Light and Shadow abruptly vanished. In the next moment, it reappeared before Lin Xun and came slashing down in fury. Ripples of time shimmered along its sharp edge. It was unimaginably fast!
Pu!
Blood spurted. Although Lin Xun did everything he could to dodge, he was still struck. A deep gash split open his shoulder, cutting through his bone and flesh. Under the torment of the terrifying blade qi, a muffled groan escaped his lips.
“I may not possess the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer innate talent, but I can wield the Blade of Light and Shadow through immortal law. Under these conditions, what do you have left to fight me with?”
Luo Yunshan’s eyes brimmed with icy contempt. As he spoke, the blade flashed once more, light and shadow swirling, and the terrifying flying dagger lashed out again.
In an instant, Lin Xun was riddled with wounds, his robe soaked in blood. These weren’t just surface injuries. Instead the blade qi had pierced deep into him, wreaking havoc on his organs and meridians.
“Submit or...die!” Luo Yunshan stepped forward, his aura oppressive, exuding absolute confidence, as if he held power over life and death.
At this moment, Lin Xun, battered and bloodied, suddenly lifted his head. A cold smirk curved his lips.
Chi!
Strangely, a rift in space-time silently tore open before him. As light and shadow intertwined, the faint outline of an ancient door gradually took shape. Endless light rained down as the mysteries of time and space collided, unleashing a vast and terrifying devouring aura.
From within the gate surged boundless darkness, like an abyss leading to another world. Just one glance at it was enough to make one feel as though their soul was being sucked in. And as the gate pulsed, it seemed ready to drag the surrounding world and all things within it into its depths.
The third stage of his innate talent—Gate of Exile!
At that moment, the Blade of Light and Shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Just as it was about to slash down on Lin Xun, it was silently swallowed by the nearly emerged Gate of Exile, vanishing without a trace.
In the distance, Luo Yunshan’s face changed drastically. His heart was shaking violently. His connection to the Blade of Light and Shadow was severed. It was as if this supreme treasure passed down from the Omega Lord had been completely erased from existence.
Before he could react, the Gate of Exile opened wide like a bloody maw formed from time and space, looming toward him.
Boom!
A terrifying, boundless devouring force surged forth like a giant hand descending from the heavens, seizing Luo Yunshan and trying to drag him in.
His body and mind were gripped by horror. His aged face turned pale, and he felt as though his entire cultivation was being violently suppressed. Even if he struggled with all his might, he was still dragged toward the strange gate, unable to stop it at all.
“No—!” Luo Yunshan roared in sheer panic. Filled with fear, he couldn’t fathom what divine power this was. How could it be so terrifying and so utterly unstoppable? As the Gate of Exile drew closer, his eyes bulged and blood seeped from the corners. He was on the brink of madness. In all his years of cultivation, he had never felt so close to death...
Then, to his utter shock, the strange gate suddenly crumbled and vanished. Along with it, the terrifying devouring force disappeared without a trace! Luo Yunshan froze in place, stunned for a moment. Then joy surged through him like a tidal wave. He instantly realized that Lin Xun didn’t have the strength to maintain such a forbidden art for long!
“Little bastard!” he roared, eyes brimming with murderous rage. His expression was twisted and ferocious. The brush with death just now had driven him into a frenzy.
However, Lin Xun was already gone...
Huh?
Suddenly, an indescribable sense of dread surged through Luo Yunshan’s entire body. In his fit of rage, he instinctively looked up, only to see a sea of law flames pouring down toward him. The blinding, searing flames engulfed both his vision and mind.
“No—!” A blood-curdling scream rang out as his soul seemed to flee in terror.
Boom!
The next moment, flames flared and swallowed him whole. In the blink of an eye, his body was reduced to ashes, scattered like dust in the wind, utterly erased from the world.
