The Prodigies War-Chapter 2639 Omega Lord’s Six Treasures
Lu Boya took a deep breath, strode into the cave heaven, and helped Lin Xun to his feet, “You are a man who is now one step away from immortality, so never kowtow again.”
His voice carried both happiness and sentiment. This young man, who was now renowned throughout the Eternal True Realm, had been raised by him!
He recalled the infant in swaddling clothes of that year whose origin aeth artery had been cruelly ripped out. That baby might have been dead if he hadn't arrived in time.
Later, he hid the baby in a mine prison, and before he knew it, twelve years had passed. Or to be precise, it was twelve years, nine months, and thirteen days!
When he finally sent off Lin Xun, who had grown into a young man, he had felt a deep sense of loss, as if something was missing from his heart.
As he spent his following life lying low in various places or rushing around handling urgent matters, every time he thought of Lin Xun whom he had brought up with his own hands, he couldn’t help but feel worried and concerned.
Fortunately, he had heard occasional news about Lin Xun during the recent years, which had been enough to ease his concerns. Now that he finally saw him in person again, how could he not be emotional?
The infant of yesteryear had grown into a capable man, who had stirred up countless bloodshed and upheavals in the Eternal True Realm!
Who in the First to Sixth Heaven Domain did not know of the savage disciple of Fangchun Mountain? Even Emperor Ancestors had to bow before him!
“Mister Lu...” Lin Xun inhaled deeply to control his excitement and tried to speak, only to find that he didn't know where to begin from.
“I know you have many questions, and I will answer all of them this time. After all, you are now capable of facing anything.” Mister Lu waved his hand. Two meditation cushions, a low table, a jar of wine, and two cups appeared.
He sat down on the ground with Lin Xun, personally filled the latter's cup, and smiled, “You were too young before to drink with me. Now that you're old enough, how about we finish this jar together?”
Lin Xun nodded, “I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.”
Lu Boya laughed heartily. As the two clinked their cups and chatted about past events, they soon finished the entire jar of wine.
Lu Boya, of course, wouldn't spoil the mood. He brought out another jar and sighed, “This wine isn’t particularly precious, but I especially fermented it on the day you were born, waiting for you to grow up so we could drink it together. I just never thought it’d take so many years...”
Lin Xun scratched his head and burst into happy laughter.
The old Mister Lu had been so strict and demanding. Who would have thought he’d personally brew and bury wine to share it with Lin Xun when he came of age?
After eight jars were drained, Mister Lu set down his cup and looked at the coffin, “I suppose you've already guessed it was left by your great-grandfather, but you must be wondering what is sealed inside.”
Lin Xun nodded, “Please enlighten me.”
Mister Lu grew solemn as he said, “This coffin is called Eternity. Your great-grandfather obtained it in the Fortune Dominion when he was younger. It was precisely through this object that he acquired the taboo talent of Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer!”
Lin Xun’s heart trembled as disbelief took over his face. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
The Eternity Coffin! From the Fortune Dominion! And it was related to the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer talent! This news came as a thunderclap, something Lin Xun had never anticipated.
After a long silence, he asked, “So to speak, my great-grandfather wasn't born with the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer talent? It was thanks to this Eternity Coffin that he got such a forbiddenly powerful talent?”
Lu Boya nodded, “That's right. The Luo Clan, throughout their generations from their founding ancestor to their many powerful sages, possesses extraordinary bloodlines, but Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer is not one of their inherited bloodlines. It was only acquired by your great-grandfather from this coffin.”
Lin Xun's mind tumbled. He finally understood that the origin of Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer was far more complex than he had imagined. It was not an innate talent of the Luo Clan, but rather something gained from the Eternity Coffin!
Lu Boya continued, “This talent changed your great-grandfather’s fate. After he left the Fortune Dominion, he made rapid progress on the path of cultivation and showcased unparalleled brilliance. At his peak, he was so strong that even the Ten Immortal Giants of the Eighth Heaven Domain felt intimidated by him...
“At that time, the Luo Clan had the opportunity to establish themselves in the Eighth Heaven Domain and vie for the position of a giant. Unfortunately...your great-grandfather vanished after his attempt to embark on that eternal star road. His state has been unknown until this day.”
Reaching this part, Lu Boya couldn't help but let out a long sigh. “Back then, the Ten Immortal Giants of the Eighth Heaven Domain declared with certainty that your great-grandfather had been slain. It was a devastating blow to the Luo Clan. From then on, they fell into decline, and their prestige plummeted...”
Lin Xun couldn't help but recall an incident. Back in the Great Thousand Battle Domain, he had once seized a peculiar stone with a bloodstain on it from Luo Ling, which turned out to be a treasure left by Luo Tongtian.
It had granted him access to Luo Tongtian's third stage heritage ability called Blade of Time. At the same time, it let him witness a breathtaking scene and learn many things.
Long ago, Luo Tongtian had opened the galaxis door for the second time to embark on the eternal star road, but was blocked by a Star Road Divine General wrapped in dazzling golden light.
Although Luo Tongtian ultimately killed that Star Road Divine General, he ended up being severely wounded. Just as he was about to step into the Eternity Door, the ring of a mysterious dao bell nearly caused his demise, while the door vanished immediately afterward.
Luo Tongtian survived, only to be surrounded by numerous enemies who had been lurking nearby. Each of them emanated the terrifying aura of Immortals. According to Luo Tongtian, they were members of various immortal giants of the Eighth Heaven Domain!
They viewed Omega Lord as prey, seeking to seize the secrets of the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer and Omega Secret-Realm from his hands. Luo Tongtian refused and ultimately chose to fight to the death!
That scene eventually dissipated, getting cut off as Luo Tongtian began to fight desperately.
Everything corresponded accurately with Lu Boya’s account. Lin Xun's heart raced knowing that the scene projected from the stone was real...
Mister Lu’s expression was lonely, filled with sorrow and regret, as he continued, “Neither I, your grandfather, nor your mother believe the story of your great-grandfather's misfortune. I have been searching everywhere for many years, but to this day, there haven't been any findings...”
Lin Xun couldn't resist asking, “Where did the Eternity Coffin come from?”
Lu Boya replied, “When your great-grandfather last departed, he left the Luo Clan six treasures: the Omega Secret-Realm, the Talent Stone, the Eternity Coffin, the Blade of Light and Shadow, the Fortune Sword, and the Infinite Divine Scroll.
“Since your grandfather Luo Xiao was unable to awaken the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer talent, he entrusted the Fortune Sword to your uncle for safekeeping, the Omega Secret-Realm to your mother, and the Eternity Coffin to me.
“The Talent Stone, the Blade of Light and Shadow, and the Infinite Divine Scroll were designated as the clan's treasures and placed under the custody of the clan head.
“As for what happened later, you already know. Your maternal grandfather failed to take the position of clan head and was usurped by Luo Chong of the branch lineage. The Talent Stone, the Blade of Light and Shadow, and the Infinite Divine Scroll thus fell into Luo Chong's hands.”
Listening to all this, Lin Xun understood everything.
That Talent Stone had likely been the strange jade stone in Luo Ling's possession. It was capable of sensing the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer bloodline while also being imprinted with Omega Lord's third stage ability Blade of Time.
That ability had then been inherited by Lin Xun when he got the stone.
Meanwhile, the Blade of Light and Shadow, an immortal-grade weapon imbued with a thread of time power, had been banished to the Abyss of Nothingness after he killed Luo Yunshan. It would certainly be within his grasp one day.
As for the Omega Secret-Realm, he had already acquired it during his youth, while the Fortune Sword had been given to him by his mother Luo Qingxun not long ago...
In other words, out of the six treasures left by the Omega Lord, he had already obtained four! Furthermore, the fifth one would be the Eternity Coffin right before his eyes.
The only thing he didn’t have yet was the Infinite Divine Scroll, which was still in the Luo Clan’s possession!
Lu Boya said, “Back then, in the lower plane, I mean the Ancient Wasteland Domain, your uncle gave the Fortune Sword to me. I then passed it on to your mother after her memories came back.
“As for the Omega Secret-Realm, that was left to you by your mother. Since you were able to find me here, you must have already met her and learned about some of the past events. She also gave you the Fortune Sword, didn't she?”
Lin Xun nodded and also told Lu Boya how he had gotten the Talent Stone and the Blade of Light and Shadow.
Lu Boya listened in shock, then his eyes flashed with anger, “That Luo Chong! He actually sent an Immortal like Luo Yunshan to use the Blade of Light and Shadow against you. Utter madness! Fortunately, you were unharmed, or else...”
Just thinking about what could have happened made him shudder with fear.
Lin Xun smiled, “The more things like that happen, the more it proves that my existence is a serious threat to the Luo Clan. I think losing both Luo Yunshan and the Blade of Light and Shadow to me is enough to drive Luo Chong and the rest of them insane.”
Lu Boya's expression grew complex as he sighed, “I once promised your great-grandfather that I would never interfere in the Luo Clan's internal affairs or take action against any of its members, including those from the branch lineage. If not for that, many of the dangers you had to face all these years wouldn't have occurred...”
Guilt crossed his aged, gaunt face.
Lin Xun had already learned of this from Luo Qingxun, so how could he blame Lu Boya? He softly consoled him, “You once told me when I was small that a man of honor keeps his word, even in death. You only upheld your honor, so neither I nor my mother have ever even thought of blaming you.”
He paused before saying with a resolute look shining in his eyes, “Moreover, I'm here in the Sixth Heaven Domain now. Leave it to me to handle the Luo Clan!”
