The Prodigies War-Chapter 2652 Black Jade Box
Lin Xun!
The young man whom the Luo Clan loathed to the bone and had longed for with desperation had actually appeared tonight, right here on their territory!
That feeling...
It was like the prey they had pursued relentlessly yet failed to capture had suddenly walked straight into their grasp. It happened so suddenly that they were completely caught off guard.
At that moment, Luo Chong was overjoyed. He threw his head back and laughed heartily, “So you’re Lin Xun! Hahahaha! You search high and low, only to stumble upon it without trying!”
After the initial shock, the Luo Clan’s branch elders nearby lit up with excitement, each breaking into a wide grin.
“Hah! That brat actually walked into our trap on his own!”
“Talk about a twist of fate!”
“Could it be that he's had a change of heart and wants to serve the Luo Clan now?” 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
One voice after another rang out.
Lin Xun looked at them oddly. Are they not celebrating a little too early?
In truth, their excitement was understandable. After all, Lin Xun hadn’t just awakened the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer innate talent, he was also in possession of treasures like the Omega Secret-Realm and the Fortune Sword! These were treasures Luo Chong and the others had long yearned for.
“Everyone, since this brat dares show up here, he must have something up his sleeve.” Pei Ru’s eyes also shone with interest, but she remained far more composed than the rest.
Sure enough, the next moment, He Boyang stepped forward and said coldly, “There’s no doubt about it. Luo Feng was captured by this boy. Luo Yunshan, Luo Yunhe, and the others were all killed by him. In short, all the setbacks the Luo Clan has suffered lately were his doing.”
The words instantly wiped the smiles from Luo Chong and the others' faces. Their excitement was swiftly replaced by an indescribable, seething rage. Their expressions darkened like storm clouds gathering overhead.
All this time, they had believed Luo Feng’s capture and the disappearance of Luo Yunhe and the others were the work of some powerful faction, and that uncertainty almost drove them mad. Who could have imagined that it was all done by Lin Xun alone?
Their eyes blazed with killing intent, as if they couldn’t wait to tear him to pieces.
“You little bastard...it was you all along!”
Luo Chong roared, “Where is Feng’er? Where have you hidden him?”
The other clan elders bristled with murderous intent.
Lin Xun chuckled. “If you hurry to the Sky-Splitting Thunder Sea now, you might still be able to gather some of that ‘Feng’er’s’ ashes you’re so worried about.”
A sharp pain stabbed through Luo Chong’s heart, and his face turned deathly pale. “You...you really killed Feng’er?! You wretched beast! I’ll tear you into a thousand pieces!”
The Luo Clan’s high-ranking members were trembling with rage. Luo Feng was the only supreme Emperor Ancestor of their branch, yet now, he had been killed! This was no different from strangling the Luo Clan’s hope of ever rising again!
A deadly silence fell over heaven and earth as terrifying killing intent surged like a raging sea, engulfing the entire area.
In the distance, countless members of the Luo Clan, along with their retainers, maids, and servants, watched anxiously from afar. None dared to approach. Among them was Luo Xuanzhen.
When he saw Lin Xun surrounded on Cuiyun Peak, his heart sank like a stone and a chill spread through his limbs.
It’s over...
Under such circumstances, how could they even talk about saving the elders of the main lineage? They couldn’t even save themselves!
“Miss, this boy is extremely difficult to deal with. He must possess trump cards capable of threatening Immortal-level experts. Still, if a real battle breaks out, it won’t be hard to bring him down.”
In the void, the tall, mighty bald old man Yu Huai spoke coldly, “The decision now lies with you.”
Pei Ru’s gaze was calm and emotionless. “Long ago, my husband promised that if we capture this boy, the Omega Secret-Realm, the Fortune Sword and the other treasures on him would be ours. So why hesitate? Do it.”
Her words made Luo Chong’s expression change slightly, and he was just about to speak when—Boom!
High in the sky, a dazzling surge of immortal dao light burst forth. Yu Huai had already struck.
His towering figure surged with divine might, and as soon as he moved, he resembled an invincible war god of legend. With both fists clenched, a torrent of blinding immortal light gathered around him, and the surrounding void abruptly collapsed.
As he unleashed his punch, it felt as if the heavens were falling, the earth splitting open and all existence was about to be annihilated!
Terrifying!
Even those watching from afar felt their eyes sting and their souls tremble, nearly collapsing under the pressure.
The influential figures standing around Luo Chong felt their bodies go stiff and their hair stand on end. Though they were all Emperor Ancestors, they still felt utterly suppressed in the face of this power.
Because this was the might of the Heavenly Longevity Immortal Stage!
At the same time, He Boyang also launched his attack.
Clang!
The snow-white sword beneath his feet let out a crisp hum, like the cry of a dragon. In an instant, blinding white sword qi shot into the sky. The blade brimmed with unmatched immortal laws as it slashed toward Lin Xun in a furious arc.
White Dao Sword of Detachment! It was a true immortal dao weapon! The moment it was unleashed, a vast sword intent erupted, as though it could cleave heaven and earth apart with devastating sharpness and speed.
It was clear that neither of the two Immortal powerhouses held back in the slightest.
From the moment they saw through Lin Xun’s identity, they understood that they could not afford to underestimate him. They were well aware that he possessed trump cards powerful enough to threaten Immortal beings.
Therefore, they had no intention of giving Lin Xun the slightest chance to use his trump card.
Whether it was Yu Huai’s punch or He Boyang’s sword strike, both were devastating beyond imagination!
Despite that, Lin Xun stood firm where he was, completely still, without so much as a twitch. Only a black jade box silently emerged before him, appearing out of nowhere. Barely a foot long and four fingers thick, it was dark as night, dull and unadorned, exuding an ancient simplicity.
Boom!
Yu Huai’s devastating punch came crashing down like a raging tsunami, shattering the space around Lin Xun into dust and erupting with a storm of chaotic currents. Despite that, Lin Xun stood like an immovable reef in a raging sea.
No matter how terrifying the immortal law-infused punch was, it was stopped dead just a foot from his body, unable to advance an inch.
Yu Huai’s pupils contracted sharply. That strike was enough to crush any supreme Emperor Ancestor with ease, yet it was blocked by some invisible, mysterious force!
Shua!
At nearly the same instant, the white sword slashed down. Lin Xun remained utterly motionless.
This immortal dao weapon was imaginably fierce and overbearing, capable of collapsing the sky with a single strike. However, when it reached within a foot of Lin Xun’s head, it abruptly halted, buzzing and trembling violently, as if it had struck an indestructible barrier. It couldn’t move even a hair closer.
Even He Boyang’s expression shifted slightly.
Both he and Yu Huai fixed their gazes on the blade jade box that had appeared silently in front of Lin Xun.
“It’s that black box.”
Luo Chong’s face flickered with uncertainty, while the others were already frightened out of their wits. Who would dare believe a supreme Emperor Ancestor alone could block the combined assault of two Immortals?
At that moment, Lin Xun stood with his eyes fixed on the black jade box before him, his clothes billowing in the wind. He remained composed and unshaken, calm as ever. Then, he slowly extended his hand and opened the black jade box. His movements were gentle, yet his expression had turned solemn and focused.
This strange sight made both He Boyang and Yu Huai’s hearts jolt. Realizing that something was wrong, they launched their deadliest attacks without hesitation.
“Rise!”
With a roar, the violet jade ruler surged into the air before Yu Huai, unleashing billions of immortal dao light. In that instant, it was as if a colossal violet sun was rising over the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range, dazzling and terrifying.
“Go!”
With another thunderous shout, the violet jade ruler soared into the sky, collapsing the void with a deafening rumble as it came crashing down to suppress Lin Xun.
At the same time, He Boyang activated a supreme secret art. The White Dao Sword of Detachment flashed once, then abruptly transformed into a hundred thousand densely packed flying swords, converging into a vast and mysterious immortal sword formation!
Its terrifying might swept out in all directions. Cries of shock echoed throughout the area as nearby mountain peaks began to tremble violently
“All unrelated parties, retreat immediately!”
With a roar, Luo Chong instantly summoned a bronze dao seal. Obscure law power surged from it, spreading outward in an instant.
Suddenly, the vast Dragon Ridge Mountain Range stirred as if awakening from a deep slumber. Streaks of thunder and lightning law power burst forth like divine chains, crisscrossing the sky and earth. They spread across every mountain peak, blazing with dazzling radiance, to neutralize the terrifying might unleashed by the two Immortals.
However, just as the crowd began to breathe a sign of relief, a scene that left them utterly stunned unfolded before their eyes. Whether it was Yu Huai’s jade ruler, blazing like a colossal violet sun, or He Boyang’s vast and unfathomable immortal sword formation, both were halted just one foot from Lin Xun’s body!
They couldn’t advance an inch. They couldn’t harm him in the slightest. They didn’t even make him flinch!
“That...that...”
Many onlookers stared wide-eyed, struggling to form words, their voices caught in their throats. Even Luo Chong couldn’t help but gasp. What kind of treasure was that black jade box? How could it block the combined full-force assault of two Immortals?
At that moment, Lin Xun calmly opened the black jade box. A drizzle of faint azure light, delicate and dreamlike, spilled out, drifting like mist as it scattered into countless illusory lights and shadows.
He Boyang and Yu Huai’s faces turned grim. Their hearts seethed with fury as they frantically pushed their powers to the limit, but it was all in vain. Dao light raged across the sky, surging without end, yet it couldn’t so much as scratch Lin Xun!
“I don’t believe this!”
Suddenly, Pei Ru’s graceful figure soared into the air. With a flick of her slender hand, a strange and mysterious black pagoda appeared in her palm. Its base was a lotus with thirty-six petals.
Atop the pagoda sat a black divine statue sitting cross-legged. It had three heads, six arms,and a bird’s head atop a human body. Each arm held a different treasure: a dao sword, a Dharma seal, a horsetail whisk, a bell, a string of prayer beads, and a buddhist scripture. This was an immortal dao weapon, Mystic Brahma Lotus Pagoda!
“Go!”
As Pei Ru flicked her fingers, the strange black pagoda soared into the sky, whirling as it rose. The thirty-six-petal lotus base bloomed with dazzling brilliance, as if it had transformed into thirty-six vast worlds, each brimming with wondrous and mysterious power.
Then, the figure seated atop the pagoda suddenly opened its eyes. Rising to its feet, it stepped across the thirty-six worlds, its three heads and six arms moving in unison as it descended upon Lin Xun like a supreme celestial deity.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The heavens trembled. The world was turned upside down. The deity-like figure radiated a truly terrifying divine might. Each of its strikes shook the heavens and rocked the earth, unleashing torrents of devastating immortal dao light that swept across the void.
Many nearby felt their qi and blood roil violently, their spirits shaken, and stars danced before their eyes. Terror gripped their hearts.
Some members of the Luo Clan who had been observing from afar reacted swiftly and fled in panic. Whereas those who hesitated for even a moment were caught in the shockwave. Many collapsed where they stood, unconscious!
