Free Web NovelChapter 3064 Determined to Move
Zen World.
In a cave haven, the nine-colored lotus swayed as it shed variegated light. The thin, hunchbacked Fan’an was sitting cross-legged on a mat, looking the same as ever with his sunken cheeks, snow-white beard, and a stone statue in front of him.
“That heretic is already killing his way into this place. Have you...really abandoned the Zen Sect...”
Fan’an’s flickering expression was dim as he stared fixedly at the Alpha Origin Stone Statue. This treasure left by Founding Ancestor Shi hadn’t responded to him in any way after the last time it had conveyed a fluctuation of intent. Even at this moment, it still wasn't.
It was noisy outside the cave haven. There were roars of unacceptance and screams of fright. There were also the rumbles caused by combat, of mountains collapsing and buildings crashing down...
All of it intensified the gloom over Fan’an’s face. Indescribable sadness and bitterness welled up in his heart. After what felt like half a day, he suddenly grabbed Alpha Origin Stone Statue with both hands, a horrifying gleam surging in his eyes. “It’s you who put us into this situation, you did this to the Zen Sect...!”
His growl was low and resembled that of a desperate beast. His thin face was livid and hideously distorted, his eyes burning with rage and hatred.
Bang!
The Alpha Origin Stone Statue burst into powder and slipped through his fingers. Fan’an panted heavily for a long time, until he sensed something and abruptly turned his head. At some point, a figure had appeared at the entrance of his abode.
Lin Xun!
Fan’an’s pupils shrank as he slowly got up from the mat, his voice hoarse, “Am I the only one left?”
Lin Xun shook his head. “I’m not one to kill indiscriminately. Innocent people shouldn’t have to die because of your mistakes.”
Fan’an was stunned. There was a complicated look in his gaze. “Heh. So I should be grateful to you on behalf of those disciples you spared?”
Lin Xun pointed at his heart. “I do what aligns with my conscience, not to put on a show of hypocritical mercy.”
Hypocritical mercy!
The two words dripped with sarcasm were aimed at the entire Zen Sect! However, Fan’an was no longer in the mood to care about such a thing. He stared at Lin Xun for a long time before he finally said, “I truly cannot understand this: have you really never been afraid of the mastermind behind the epochal calamity?”
Lin Xun couldn’t help but laugh. “What’s the use of fearing them in my case? It's not like they'd let me live if I did, right?”
Fan’an squinted, and after a long silence, he nodded. “That’s true. You have no way out, so naturally you have nothing left to fear. Sometimes, the more options one has, the more likely it is to make stupid choices.”
He thought of the Alpha Origin Stone Statue left by the sect's founding ancestor. The artifact was supposed to guard the Zen Sect, but it had ended up being the culprit leading to this catastrophe!
“Before I get to it, I’d like an answer to this question that I can't just figure out,” said Lin Xun. “Why does the Zen Sect hate Fangchun Mountain so much?” free𝑤ebnovel.com
It wasn’t only the Zen Sect, but also the Shaman Sect. Lin Xun hadn’t been able to fathom their hostility for the life of him.
“For the simple reason that our dao paths conflict.” Fan’an didn’t have to think. “Even before they established their sects, the founders of ours and the Shaman Sect were already arch-enemies of your master. To be precise, their conflict started during previous epochs.”
Lin Xun couldn’t help letting out a sigh. “A conflict between our paths...”
This kind of enmity was insoluble.
You consider me evil, I consider you heretics that must not be allowed on earth. Just like water and fire, the differences could only be settled through an ultimate confrontation of power!
“A pity.” Fan’an sighed heavily.
Lin Xun raised his brows. “What is?”
With an odd expression, Fan’an said, “I won’t be able to see whether you will survive the epochal destruction. Isn’t that a pity?”
Lin Xun smiled. Saying no more, he made his move. When he stepped out from the Zen World several moments later, the Zen Sect Ancestral Court’s Divine Rank law had been taken away, its mountain gates collapsed and the foundation that it had built over countless years completely destroyed. From here on, there would be no more Zen Sect in this world.
......
Shaman Sect Ancestral Court.
In front of the mountain gate, Lin Xun’s Red Flame Dao Body stood with his arms folded. There was sentiment in his eyes as he gazed at this familiar place.
Back then, he together with Yuan Changtian and the others had represented the Origin Sect, coming here to participate in the Ten Directions Demon Realm. That was the first time he had entered the Shaman Sect.
Now, he was already a Creation expert on the Eternal path.
“It’s really him!”
“Hmph, does he think our sect is as weak as those Eternal Divine Clans in the Ninth Heaven Domain?”
In the far distance, many powerful figures of the Shaman Sect appeared behind the mountain gate, each emitting a savage and murderous aura.
The Shaman Sect was a special lineage who cared not for heaven and earth or rules and reasons. They also were not afraid of the finality of death, taking pride in dying in combat. Therefore, they weren't scared despite seeing Lin Xun at their door.
However, not being scared to die didn’t mean they were reckless. The events in the Ninth Heaven Domain had likewise reached their attention for a while now, so naturally, they were well aware of his fearsome nature.
“Apparently, you already know the intention of my visit. Well, that makes it easier for me. I’m now giving you all a choice: will you die in battle, or will you surrender and let me punish you for the crimes your sect has committed?”
The Red Flame Dao Body said calmly, waving his sleeve as he did.
Swish~
A Divine Rank law shot up high and covered this area of heaven and earth.
“Want us to surrender? Delusional!” bellowed a Shaman elder clad in beastskin clothes, his voice thundering through the skies. “Get in formation!”
Boom!
Over a hundred experts swept out and formed a grand battle formation in the air. The moment the formation was complete, it disturbed the Divine Rank law power covering the Shaman Sect with a burst of boundless might.
“Kill!”
The beastskin-clothed old man took the lead and attacked. The entire battle formation also came into motion at once, sending a quake in all directions and a killing intent that pierced the clouds.
“A mantis before a chariot.” Lin Xun snorted and swiped his hand across the void. Rolling flames started to burn out of nowhere, blazing as they furiously torrented down and submerged the air like an ocean. In an instant, the Shaman elder along with the one hundred-plus experts became ashes, easily wiped out like they were made of paper!
Upon seeing how they died, all the Shaman Sect members behind the mountain gate finally felt fear, and their expressions faltered.
“Those who aren't scared to die can come up now,” said Lin Xun indifferently, his eyes filled with a chilling color. Compared to the Zen Sect, he detested the Shaman Sect even more. They had always acted without any scruples whatsoever, sending force after force to deal with him in those past years. The enmity between them ran deep.
“The Shaman Sect has never been scared since the moment it was founded!” The shout came from a gray-robed man who was built like a mountain. In a flash, his figure expanded and became ten thousand feet tall. Terrifying Eternal light cascaded down from all over him. This was clearly a Law Transcendence Eternal.
“Really?” Lin Xun deployed a chop through the air.
Bang!
The ten-thousand-foot tall figure was directly sent to his knees with a loud noise, creating a massive crater in the ground. His skin and flesh ruptured and bled profusely.
“What...”
The Shaman Sect spectators were dumbstruck, feeling as though the sky had collapsed on them. It was true that they weren’t scared of death and battle, but when faced with an existence like Lin Xun who could easily dominate a Law Transcendence expert, they couldn't stop the feeling of despair from taking over.
He was too strong! Confronting him was no different from trying to shake a tree as an ant! If this had been in the past where the Shaman Sect had the protection of Immeasurable Eternals, they naturally wouldn't be afraid, but at this point in time, it was already useless to say anything.
“Lin Xun, you think you can make my Shaman Sect bow down just with this? Keep dreaming!” roared the gray-robed man.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t, I'll erase your sect from the world all the same,” Lin Xun nonchalantly said.
“Hah, very funny! Our sages have long set out for the All-Wonder Dominion. The day they return is when you and the Origin Sect die!!!” the gray-robed man screamed.
Lin Xun remained unperturbed. “Your sages? I'm afraid they won’t be able to return in this lifetime, but fret not, I will make sure to go to the All-Wonder Dominion and look for them in the future.”
Bang!
He tapped a finger in the air, and the gray-robed Law Transcendence Eternal exploded, destroyed in both form and spirit. Lin Xun then began walking towards the mountain gate.
“Kill him!”
Many fearless brave souls rushed forth to stop him, but they were like moths to a flame, falling before him without slowing his pace in the slightest.
In a matter of moments, Lin Xun crushed the heavy restrictions under his feet, tore an opening in the Divine Rank law covering the mountain gate, and entered the Shaman World. He was unstoppable the entire time!
In less than the time it took to savor a cup of tea, the Shaman Sect, one of the Four Great Ancestral Courts, was flattened by Lin Xun! As always, Lin Xun didn't massacre. This was the code of conduct he abided by: to only execute the evildoers and not implicate the innocent.
On that day, the Shaman Sect Ancestral Court, following in the track of the Zen Sect, was removed from the world.
......
Origin World.
On the day that Lin Xun’s true form returned, the Red Flame Dao Body and the White Metal Dao Body also returned together with the news of the Shaman Sect Ancestral Court’s demise.
Lin Xun had expected no less. At his current level, it was difficult to find a match in the entire Eternal True Realm. Demolishing a behemoth like the Shaman Sect, whose overall power had just suffered a great loss, was no different from flipping his hand.
Meanwhile, it wasn’t until ten days later that the Green Wood Dao Body returned from the Ninth Heaven Domain. As it turned out, after arriving at the Ninth Heaven Domain, the Green Wood Dao Body had learned that the three Eternal Divine Clans of Ye, Panwu, and Xingtian had still not revealed any traces.
Even after an extensive investigation where he had used all kinds of taboo tracking arts, he had still failed to find where these three clans were hiding. Ultimately, he could only return empty-handed.
In this regard, Lin Xun wasn't too disappointed. Even if these three Eternal Divine Clans were able to survive the epochal destruction, they, along with this epoch’s civilization, would ultimately appear in the Fortune Dominion. At that time, he would have his own method to deal with them.
In the central hall, Lin Xun asked, “Have you reached a decision, Seniors?”
Earlier, Xuan Feiling, Fang Daoping, and the other elders had learned of the destruction of the Shaman Sect and the Zen Sect. When Lin Xun's question rang out, their minds were still shaken and their hearts were full of emotions. After exchanging a glance, they all nodded.
“We have. Let's do as you suggested.” Xuan Feiling smiled.
Nowadays, there was more to the Origin Sect than just its members; there were also the Lin, Luo, Xuan, Yuan, Dugu, and other clans. No matter how reluctant they were, they had to consider the big picture and everyone's future.
“That’s great.” Lin Xun instantly relaxed and laughed. “When we arrive at the Fortune Dominion, we’ll be completely safe.”
