The Prodigies War-Chapter 2635 Divine Magnetic Mountain
Whoosh!
As Lin Xun organized his thoughts, a dazzling black light shot out from the Magnetic Wind Belt, coming fast in his direction.
It was a magnetic stone, and quite a big one at that as it was the size of a fan. No sooner had it appeared than did several figures dart out from the surroundings toward it. Lin Xun was the person closest to the incoming magnetic stone, so when these cultivators acted, he was immediately caught in the crossfire.
Rumble!
Swords, axes, seals, and halberds...various treasures accompanied by a variety of skills blanketed over him with blinding radiance and boundless ferocity. Lin Xun frowned as he stood in place. An intangible power spread out from him.
Kaboom!
The region quaked as those dazzling treasures and powerful techniques exploded mid-air like they had been crushed by a storm. Light splashed in the endless sound of explosions. The charging attackers were also reduced to ashes in seconds.
“What on earth...”
“Too strong!” 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
“Who is this person?”
Those who witnessed the whole scene froze in the shock caused by its bloodiness. Their restless desire stirred by the magnetic stone dissipated.
In the midst of this silence, Lin Xun reached out and caught the stone flying toward him.
So heavy! He instantly felt as though he was holding up a mountain, but such was the magnetic stone!
He put some force into his fingertips, and stone fragments flew everywhere. The fan-sized black stone was peeled layer by layer until only a piece of gorgeous iron remained that was the size of a pigeon egg. It emitted an astonishing magnetic force that warped and cracked the void around it, creating ripples of shattered space.
This was Divine Magnetic Iron, a rare resource found only in Rowdy Demon Sea!
However, Lin Xun’s expression changed into that of a strange one as he held it. The magnetic stone had been heavier than a mountain, yet this piece of Divine Magnetic Iron was light as a feather, weighing no more than five ounces.
He finally gained a profound understanding of this test. A hundred thousand pounds of Divine Magnetic Iron was an absolutely enormous quantity. If he camped in this outer region instead of going into the Magnetic Wind Belt, it would take him countless years to gather that amount.
“Young man, I am Long Feng from Nine Nether Demon Sect. If you are willing to sell the piece of Divine Magnetic Iron you’re holding, I will pay a good amount of cosmic origin crystals for it,” a deep, thunderous voice came from the distance.
It belonged to a majestic figure who was sitting upright in a floating throne of white bones. His blood-red hair fluttered in the wind, crimson lightning arcs flickered in his eyes, and he emanated the utterly intimidating aura of an Ancestor.
Long Feng!
This name might sound unfamiliar, but if it was replaced with Thousand-Eyed Devil Ancestor, then every resident of Rowdy Demon Sea would instantly know who that was. Thanks to his notoriety, the mere mention of him could make anyone go white in the face.
Obviously, Long Feng had set his sights on the piece Divine Magnetic Iron in Lin Xun's hands. The expression of many cultivators became odd.
Long Feng had been stationed here for quite a long time now, but he had never directly seized or fought over magnetic stones. However, whenever he fancied a piece of Divine Magnetic Iron, he would approach the owner and propose a transaction.
Even if the price he offered was so low that it was practically outright theft, no one dared to turn him down. Otherwise, Long Feng would use his Ancestor strength to teach them a lesson.
Lin Xun was unaware of this, and he wouldn't care much if he was anyway. He casually asked, “How much are you offering?”
Long Feng in his throne smiled ever so slightly and raised a finger.
“One hundred million?” said Lin Xun.
The cultivators around nearly burst into laughter. Brave guy... He really dreams big.
Long Feng was also dumbfounded. His expression grew cold. “I originally intended to offer one million, but I've changed my mind. I'll give you...ten thousand at most.”
This was not haggling, but instead an insult and a threat.
“Oh,” said Lin Xun. “Let me guess, you’ve been using this method for some time and obtained a substantial amount of Divine Magnetic Iron?”
The spectators were hit by a pang of sorrow, being reminded of the Divine Magnetic Iron that Long Feng had extorted from them recently.
Long Feng frowned, “What are you trying to say?”
Lin Xun smiled, “I’m robbing you.”
Swish!
He then vanished into thin air and reappeared before Long Feng the next second.
“You court death!” An overwhelming might erupted from Long Feng, but before he could rise from his throne, an invisible palm force pressed him down.
His expression changed drastically as he struggled to fight back, but the palm force was too strong. It ruptured his hands and arms, sending flesh and blood flying. In the end, the palm force completely engulfed him, causing the rest of him to explode and shattering his throne of bones along with it.
Thousand-Eyed Devil Ancestor, an infamous Emperor Ancestor from Nine Nether Devil Sect, had been slain with a single palm strike! The gory scene rendered everyone speechless and gawking in disbelief, but Lin Xun acted as though he had done nothing special and reached out to collect Long Feng's belongings.
After a quick look, he found over thirty pieces of Divine Magnetic Iron of varying sizes. This quantity was not small, but their combined weight was only a paltry dozen or so pounds...
“Looks like I’ll have to make that trip into the Magnetic Wind Belt after all.” Lin Xun was speechless. He thought he had caught a wealthy villain, only to find that the other party was a pauper.
Of course, this was his personal opinion. In the eyes of other cultivators, Long Feng, who had made fortunes through forceful buying and selling, was indeed someone who rolled in wealth in his sleep...
Whoosh!
Lin Xun sprang into action without delay, riding the fluctuations of the magnetic tide toward the distant Magnetic Wind Belt. The cultivators who had been intimidated by his brutal methods were all stunned and in disbelief when they saw this.
“What is he doing?”
“What else could he be doing? He is heading into the Magnetic Wind Belt to test his luck!”
“Isn’t that suicide? Not even Immortal experts dare venture into lightly.”
Amidst the murmurs, Lin Xun's handsome figure quickly vanished.
Boom!
Intense magnetic cyclones that tore the air and threatened to destroy the whole world relentlessly assaulted him.
He glowed as he unleashed his full cultivation and channeled the power of the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron to envelop himself. When the cyclones struck, violent collisions were produced in flying sparks of light.
Lin Xun struggled to move forward in this manner. As destructive as the impacts he was under, they were neutralized one after another.
When he finally reached the Magnetic Wind Belt, a strange and terrifying spatial law power surged out from the magnetic cyclones. It looked as though the sky and earth were stirred into a mess, a terrifying sight that could strike fear into Immortals. He also felt the gravity of the situation, but he did not panic.
Buzz!
The Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron emerged boisterously in a rain of billions of rays of light. The Nirvana law power dormant within was stirring at this moment, as if awakening.
“Here goes!” Lin Xun shot into the Magnetic Wind Belt.
Rumble!
Endless spatial fragments swirled and whistled within the chaotic currents of the magnetic cyclones, unleashing a power that could easily rip even Immortal characters to shreds.
Despite that, Lin Xun was like a beam of light in that raging storm, staggering left and right while moving forward, looking as though it could be extinguished at any moment.
However, every time he encountered a powerful impact, the Nirvana law power would pour out and swallow the spatial law power in that cyclone to the last drop, allowing him to narrowly escape one catastrophe after another.
Someone actually stood to benefit from this process. As the Nirvana law power continuously devoured the bizarre spatial order, Wushuang inside the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron was fed with ‘rich nourishment’ that she entirely absorbed and refined.
Fifteen minutes... Thirty minutes... Forty-five minutes...
Lin Xun went deeper in with time, feeling as though he was traversing a broken, chaotic world. Pitch-black magnetic cyclones were everywhere. Every corner was filled with swirls of shattered spatial law. Beyond that, there was nothing else to see.
When he lost count of the time, the blurry outline of a towering mountain came into view. It was shrouded in darkness, though, making it impossible to discern any details.
After the time it took to savor a cup of tea, Lin Xun got a clear look at that extraordinary mountain. It resembled a gargantuan millstone that was pitch-black, roughly ten thousand feet tall, and had a flat summit.
The mountain slowly rotated in the chaotic void. As it did, it diffused a strong, endless flood of viscous magnetic power that distorted the surrounding void until it crumbled.
It truly was a ten-thousand-mile high black millstone stretching horizontally in the sky. The crushing force generated by its slow rotation seemed capable of grinding everything between heaven and earth to oblivion!
Lin Xun couldn't help but gasp in awe at the sight of it. Without a doubt, this was the mysterious Divine Magnetic Mountain of legend!
He finally understood why the Magnetic Wind Belt was permeated by an eerie spatial law power. This power acted like a cage that firmly confined the Divine Magnetic Mountain while simultaneously bearing the crushing force it produced. Otherwise, the divine mountain would have long since moved away from here! If that happened, everything in its wake would be annihilated by the horrible magnetic force!
In short, it was this bizarre spatial law power that restrained the Divine Magnetic Mountain, forcing it to remain suspended in one area, thereby forming the phenomenon known as the Magnetic Wind Belt.
If I absorb this spatial law, wouldn't that be equivalent to breaking the prison of the Divine Magnetic Mountain? At that point, the entire Rowdy Demon Sea might face a great calamity... Lin Xun's gaze grew somber as countless thoughts swirled in his mind.
However, if I could take away the entire mountain while I’m at it, then there wouldn’t be such a disaster, and I could also subdue the spatial law in the process... He pondered and began to approach the distant Divine Magnetic Mountain.
Even with the protection of the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, he proceeded with utmost caution and vigilance. After careful observation, he reached a conclusion: The crushing force generated by the Divine Magnetic Mountain’s rotation was more than sufficient to effortlessly obliterate even an Immortal expert!
Therefore, how could he dare be careless?
