The Prodigies War-Chapter 2668 Completely Exhausted
Of the eighteen Heavenly Longevity Immortals who had come, only two remained on the battlefield. In addition, the figures in the Nirvana Spirit Realm, such as Wen Tianshang, had also been wounded to varying degrees.
Whereas Lin Xun had remained virtually unscathed. Under these circumstances, despite the frustration and anger within her, He Wanzhen knew she had to make an important decision. Therefore, she chose to retreat.
It wasn't a wise move. Instead it was a forced one.
"You..."
He Wanzhen's unexpected withdrawal caught Wen Tianshang and the others by surprise, and their fighting spirit wavered. How could they not be aware that if this situation continued, their odds of resolving the battle in their favor would become increasingly grim?
At this moment, under the sky, a rift had silently appeared. It was ten thousand feet long, forming a faint spacetime portal. Endless light rained down, and the mysteries of time and space were intertwined, generating a terrifying and boundless devouring force.
From afar, it looked like the sky had suddenly ripped open its bloody mouth! It was the Gate of Exile!
As the Nirvana Spirit Immortals’ desire to continue to fight wavered, Lin Xun unhesitatingly unleashed a taboo power of his innate talent.
"What is this?!"
Wen Tianshang, Hong Xuandu, Heng Zonggu, Zhu Jiujiang, and the other Immortals' expressions abruptly flickered. They instinctively glanced toward the sky above. Within the vast, rift-like spacetime portal, darkness reigned, and it looked as mysterious as the gate to hell.
Like a knife piercing the hearts of Wen Tianshang and his companions, an indescribable, deadly, and menacing aura appeared. It sent shivers down their spines. Relying on their experience and instincts honed by years of cultivation, they immediately chose to dodge, desperately exhausting every ounce of their strength!
Boom!
A terrifying devouring force unleashed from the spacetime portal, like a mighty hand reaching out from heaven, threatening to drag Wen Tianshang and the others in. They stumbled, horrified to discover that the laws of the surrounding space had completely shattered, making it impossible to move.
Instead, they were dragged along by the devouring force, and a single careless move nearly swept them away!
"Break!" Wen Tianshang and the others shouted, resisting with all their might, completely furious.
However, at that very moment, Lin Xun rushed forward, unleashing Time Stopping once again! Wen Tianshang and the others froze. In that instant, they were swept away by the terrifying, boundless devouring force and sucked into the spacetime portal.
Zhu Jiujiang was the most powerful among them. When he was only ten feet away from the Gate of Exile, he unexpectedly broke free!
He let out an earth-shattering roar, and immortal dao light erupted from him violently, helping to steady himself. Unfortunately for him, at this moment, Lin Xun's dao sword, wrapped in the violet lightning law power, flew towards him.
The sword qi swept violently, obscuring the sky and the sun! Zhu Jiujiang, who had just regained his balance, was so frightened that his soul nearly flew out of his body. He tried his best to resist. Although he eventually neutralized the attack, he was still struck by a horrifying impact and was sent flying uncontrollably into the Gate of Exile...
"No—!"
In the end, he could only voice his resentment, fear, and anger as he vanished like Wen Tianshang and the others. Then, the Gate of Exile also dissipated beneath the sky.
He Wanzhen, who had already escaped far into the distance, shuddered. While running, her consciousness had been constantly on guard. She was terrified beyond belief when she witnessed the Gate of Exile appear and engulf Wen Tianshang and the others in one fell swoop.
They’re all gone! He Wanzhen felt like she was going to collapse whenever she thought about what would have happened if she had decided to flee a moment later...
"Dead...all dead..." Her hair was disheveled as she scrambled frantically. She had practically ignited her own cultivation power as she quickly vanished into the vast horizon. At that moment, silence reigned in the area near Dragon Ridge Mountain Range. It was a suffocating, terrifying silence!
If the previous scenes of Lin Xun slaying Immortals had been shocking and unbelievable, then this moment was filled with sheer terror. A portal had opened beneath the heavens, carrying away a host of Immortals! Even beings as powerful as those in the Nirvana Spirit Realm were unable to break free! How horrifying was this? Throughout the Eternal True Realm’s vast history, who had ever witnessed such an incredible sight?
In the Luo Clan, Luo Xiao, Lu Boya, and the others were also shaken and dazed, deeply affected by this situation. As for the regular members of the clan, they had already lost their minds and were standing there in a daze.
In the eyes of everyone, the towering figure standing alone beneath the sky was like a legendary god! At this moment, Lin Xun took a deep breath and said, "Mister Lu, I leave the rest to you..."
Before he could finish what he was going to say, he coughed up blood, his vision went black, and he staggered, collapsing straight down from the void.
Swish!
Lu Boya arrived immediately and caught Lin Xun, his heart in his throat. His student’s face was utterly pale, and his vital energy was on the verge of exhaustion. He was so weak that even his life force seemed utterly feeble and flickering. Blood trickled from the corner of his lips, staining his clothes a dazzling red.
At this moment, Luo Xiao, Luo Xiu, Luo Yong, and other prominent members of the Luo Clan had already rushed out and gathered nervously around Lu Boya.
"How is he?"
"Is he alright?"
"I have a healing elixir here. Let him take it first."
Everyone chattered in a flurry of worry.
"I'll take him back to the headquarters first. I'll leave those guys to you." Lu Boya glanced at the distance. The regular cultivators from the five Immortal Imperial Clans were now frantically fleeing.
"Alright!" Lu Xiao and the others nodded and immediately launched into pursuit.
Meanwhile, Lu Boya returned to Dragon Ridge Mountain Range with Lin Xun. In this battle, the five great Immortal Imperial Clans—Wen, Heng, He, Hong, and Zhu—had combined their forces, yet they had suffered a crushing defeat before the headquarters of the Luo Clan.
Strictly speaking, they had been defeated by Lin Xun alone. Other than He Wanzhen, the other four Nirvana Spirit Immortals and eighteen Heavenly Longevity Immortals had been destroyed! This battle shocked the entire Luo Clan. Before the fight had broken out, no one had imagined that Lin Xun, alone, could turn the tide!
This was destined to become a legend. It would be forever etched in their memories, unforgettable for eternity...
...
One month later, in Jianjia Peak, Lin Xun, who had been in a coma, slowly awoke.
"You’re awake?" Lu Boya's voice echoed in his ears.
Lin Xun looked up and saw Lu Boya sitting beside the bed, his expression filled with joy.
"You were simply throwing your life away! According to our original plan, we didn't aim to kill that many, just defeat them. But at the last moment, you activated both your second and third stage innate talents. If it weren't for your incredibly strong foundation, that single blow would have drained all your energy!"
Lu Boya then chided, "Don't ever do that again."
Lin Xun smiled disapprovingly and said, "If we simply defeat them, they won't be deterred for long. So, we have to scare them. Kill their powerful cultivators so that they're terrified and won't dare to attack again for a long time."
After a pause, he added, "Besides, I've been enemies with them for years. They've constantly hunted me down, and I've been nursing this grudge for a long time. How could I miss this opportunity to destroy a big chunk of them?"
Lu Boya sighed, "But you were still taking a risk."
He still felt a pang of fear whenever he recalled the sight of his student fainting on the battlefield. If anything were to happen to Lin Xun, he would live his entire life in guilt and self-blame.
"From now on, rest and recuperate here. As you suspected, those Immortal Imperial Clans won't have the guts to return anytime soon." Lu Boya couldn't help but sigh at the end.
Over the past month, with the news of the utter annihilation of the coalition forces of the five Immortal Imperial Clans, the Sixth Heaven Domain had been in turmoil with countless shockwaves reverberating.
Because He Wanzhen had escaped, Lin Xun's combat prowess was now exposed. Now, everyone in the Sixth Heaven Domain knew of his heroic feat of annihilating a group of Immortals with his Supreme Emperor Ancestor cultivation in front of Dragon Ridge Mountain Range.
They also knew that he possessed a sword cauldron capable of restraining all law powers! People even drew parallels with the previous disastrous defeats of the Yao and Ling Clans, speculating that the complete destruction of the coalition forces of those two Immortal Imperial Clans was most likely due to him.
All of this had made his name known throughout the world, reaching the peak of prominence! Furthermore, the Luo Clan had also garnered considerable attention. Previously, almost all Immortal Imperial Clans disregarded them, believing them to be a crumbling edifice, in danger of being expelled at any moment.
However, these two battles had reshaped public perceptions and changed their views of the Luo Clan! Thus, despite the outcry from the outside world, no force had dared to challenge them for the past month. Lin Xun was instrumental in all this!
"Mister Lu, I've exhausted the source of the violet lightning law power. I'm afraid the Luo Clan is now..." Lin Xun remembered something, but was only halfway through his thought when Mister Lu interrupted him with a smile, "Don't worry. Even without the protection of a law power for a short period of time, no one will dare to come."
Lin Xun nodded. In the great battle a month ago, he used the violet lightning law power to kill the enemy. Although he had slaughtered a number of Immortals, he had also exhausted the source of the clan’s law power.
In other words, this eighth grade Earth Rank law power had dissipated, leaving the Luo Clan without its protection. This was the heavy price they paid. It may seem that this was merely the exhaustion of a law power, but in reality, this was enough to eliminate an entire Immortal Imperial Clan!
After all, without law power, a clan would lose their greatest means of protection, and it also prevented their Immortals from comprehending and refining their own immortal laws. In the Eternal True Realm, an Immortal Imperial Clan's existence depended on their law power and their fall also was predicated upon it!
The clan members needed the protection of the law power, and the Immortals needed to comprehend and refine the great path of immortality from the law power. The existence of a law power was the very root of an Immortal Imperial Clan.
Without the root, how could they survive?
However, for Lin Xun and the entire Luo Clan, trading the violet lightning law power, on which they depended for survival, for the lives of a number of enemy Immortals was completely worth it!
After all, they would soon possess a completely new kind of law power. It was a Heaven Rank law power even more powerful than the violet lightning law power!
