Free Web NovelChapter 3108 Slaying Demon Lord Huyong
A character on the same level as Xinhu was destined not to be simple. While Lin Xun had broken out of his restraint and even caused him to suffer a backlash, it was only a minor injury. The reason why everybody was shocked was the fact that they had never expected Lin Xun to have two more dao bodies.
Since Huyong had gone straight to using his killer move out of anger, they knew the countdown had begun toward the decisive moment of this duel!
Boom!
The purgatory of chaos imprisoned Lin Xun and his five dao bodies. The crazily growing power of time within it sliced at them like blades from the heavenly punisher, revealing unparalleled sharpness. This attack was even stronger than the sea of time!
However, Lin Xun's eyes became two profound abysses, and he took a sharp, deep breath. His true form suddenly bloomed with boundless light, and the Gate of Exile silently appeared like a gaping mouth ten thousand miles wide.
Rumble!
The punishment of time blasting toward him was swallowed up without a sound, unable to hurt him in the slightest. The next moment, the Gate of Exile expanded outward as if wanting to devour the sky and earth. The chaos prison that resembled purgatory instantly cracked and collapsed before flying into the Gate of Exile!
Lin Xun and his five dao bodies broke free unscathed! All the old monsters present struggled to believe their eyes. The killing move of Demon Lord Huyong had been swallowed up to the last trickle! The stark contrast between expectations and reality had everyone dumbfounded.
"Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer! What is the relationship between you and the Eternal Night Divine Emperor?!" Demon Lord Huyong's face contorted as he shouted in disbelief.
Eternal Night Divine Emperor!
The field fell silent. Many old monsters revealed expressions of surprise as they recalled that legendary figure from so long ago, someone who had traveled worlds alone and was as enigmatic as a dream.
Rumors had it that the Eternal Night Divine Emperor controlled fate, karma, and time, leaving behind indelible myths and legends in multiple epochs. Yet, at the same time, everything about her was still as fascinating as a mystery, often sparking enthusiastic discussions to this day.
As someone whose quest was the dao of time, Demon Lord Huyong knew much more about Eternal Night Divine Emperor than ordinary cultivators. In the dao of time, she remained to him a lofty and insurmountable mountain!
“For a soon-to-be dead man, you sure talk too much crap.” Lin Xun shook his head. Together with his five dao bodies, he charged forth for the kill.
Earlier in the battle, he had keenly noticed that the force of time controlled by Demon Lord Huyong, while extraordinary in power, still couldn't affect him to a significant degree. The reason was that the law of time in his own arsenal was enough to easily dissolve half of the opponent's power.
From this, Lin Xun realized one thing. While his current master of the Principles of Time was levels below that of Demon Lord Huyong, his innate strength was superior by some margin!
They were like two swords crafted from the same mold in the same way, but one used divine materials whereas the other was forged from ordinary copper and iron, leading to their quality being vastly far apart.
If Lin Xun's purpose wasn't to hone his cultivation, he could have directly used his innate talent and easily defused the opponent's attack instead of having these wounds all over his body.
At this moment, looking at the disoriented state of Demon Lord Huyong when he mentioned Eternal Night Divine Emperor, Lin Xun could tell that Demon Lord Huyong, in spite of his powerful dao of time, was still far from Eternal Night Divine Emperor’s level!
“No matter who you are, you shall die here!” Demon Lord Huyong regained his cool. His aura became even more frightening. The green brush in his hand suddenly rumbled, transforming into a crystal clear, round wheel of light. This was the true face of this treasure, the Wheel of Time! It was also his most powerful Eternal weapon.
Buzz~
The artifact flew up high, and in that instant, it was like a sun made up of the power of time. Gliding across the sky, it diffused an endless rain of time light, stunningly magnificent but also absolutely terrifying.
Almost at the same time, Lin Xun called upon the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron and blasted out attacks with his full might.
An intense exchange erupted.
Demon Lord Huyong wielded the Wheel of Time, manifesting all sorts of unimaginable visions of a chaotic era: twilight of doom, sea overflowing into the land, disorderly prison, rotation of wither and glory... Each scene was incomparably horrifying.
At least, many of the old fellows admitted to themselves that they were no match for Demon Lord Huyong at this point. Lin Xun, however, suddenly looked like a different person.
No matter how domineering Demon Lord Huyong's attacks were, he broke apart and nullified them one after another with ease, which just looked unbelievable. The powerful Wheel of Time was also blocked by the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron! All this was the result of him utilizing his innate talent.
The eyes of Xing Jianxia, Daoist Shanfeng, and those around them brightened little by little. Their mood went from tense to perked up in excitement. In contrast, the faces of Ying Tiansheng and his group dropped bit by bit. The shock and anger in their expressions steadily grew heavier and heavier.
Swish!
Suddenly, Lin Xun activated the Blade of Time, fused it into the dao sword in the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, and fiercely chopped it out.
Bang!
Demon Lord Huyong blocked it. However, the spectators were appalled to see his aura suddenly decaying slightly!
It was as if a portion of his dao had been permanently stripped away, and although minuscule, it was more than shocking enough.
“Blade of Time!” Demon Lord Huyong exclaimed in shock and anger. An imperceptible trace of apprehension flickered in his eyes. How could he not know this divine ability and its power? However, the more devastating blow was realizing that his own cultivation base was inadequate against the opponent!
Does this mean...despite my achievements in the dao of time, I'm still far below the past Eternal Night Divine Emperor? If so, what kind of height had she reached on this path?
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Not giving time for Demon Lord Huyong to snap out of his disbelief and fury, Lin Xun's true form maneuvered the Blade of Time’s power to come at him. For a time, the battlefield of life or death was filled with blinding white, supreme edges that crisscrossed and made countless tears in the air.
Meanwhile, the five dao bodies got in formation and besieged Demon Lord Huyong. Their restraint prevented him from dodging entirely, leaving him with no choice but to confront the true form head-on.
Rumble~~ Rumble~~
The deafening sounds coming from their clashes repeatedly echoed. Demon Lord Huyong was clearly fighting for his life, striking out like mad, but with every time he parried the Blade of Time’s power, his aura decayed a little.
Although the attenuation was minimal, the constant accumulation was undoubtedly enough to make it fatal! Everyone in the audience noticed this detail, and it sent their minds reeling. Demon Lord Huyong was being restrained by Lin Xun's innate talent in the dao of time that was his proud specialty! Otherwise, he wouldn't be looking so wretched with his battle prowess.
In just several moments, Demon Lord Huyong's aura had dropped by a tenth!
When the fierce exchange reached the sixteenth minute, his youthful skin became dull, and his inky long hair began to take the color of snow. It was as if he had aged countless years at once, and his cultivation base had gotten forty percent weaker compared to his previous peak!
A thread-thin gap in strength could very well be the difference between life and death, let alone being weakened by a full forty percent. The old monsters who had been observing with intent were creeped out. A Greater Boundless Eternal was having his cultivation base shaved off little by little, what kind of horror was this?
“To think that the power we once saw on Eternal Night Divine Emperor actually reappears on Lin Xun...” Madame Crane was also rattled.
On Four Symbols Heavenly Pass, Ying Tiansheng's group no longer looked serious. They looked livid and anxious. Anyone could see that Demon Lord Huyong was in danger!
Right this moment, another earth-shattering collision resounded in the battlefield. Vaguely, an illusory Blade of Time flashed by.
Demon Lord Huyong stiffened, his eyes overflowing with unacceptance. In a hoarse voice, he struggled to say, "It's not...you...that I lost to..."
These words still drifted in the air when, like a tree that had lost all vitality whose branches dried up and leaves withered, he turned into a rain of fluttering ashes in the void.
His death threw the field into an uproar. Demon Lord Huyong had been killed just like that?!
As a dominant figure in Ying Tiansheng's camp, he was a league above the likes of Gu Caozhi and Ning Buqu. He was known for his ferocity and power even in the various epochal worlds.
Be that as it might, he had died in today's battlefield of life or death, died to the dao of time that was his strongest suit! This was simply mind-blowing.
When Madame Crane and the crowd looked at Lin Xun in the battlefield of life or death, their gazes had taken on a hint of apprehension. First, he had cut down Gu Caozhi, and then, he had executed Demon Lord Huyong!
The vast majority of them was incapable of accomplishing such a feat, but a young Creation Eternal like Lin Xun could. Who wouldn't be shocked? Who wouldn't be alarmed?
“Wonderful!” Daoist Shanfeng exclaimed, exhilarated to the point he was unable to contain himself. It was only at this moment that he finally dared to believe Xinhu had died at Lin Xun's hands. Xing Jianxia, Fu Nanli, and the others laughed with joy. They then realized that the back of their garments had been drenched in cold sweat due to the stimulation from the intense battle.
Buzz!
A familiar obscure fluctuation of law power emerged. Lin Xun was teleported out, and the battlefield of life or death disappeared. He had just secured a foothold when, above Four Symbols Heavenly Pass, Ying Tiansheng opened his mouth with a livid face, “Everyone, come with me to exterminate Lin Xun!”
His voice was like a thunderclap, resounding through the clouds. The next second, he, Chu Bugu, Ning Buqu, and a bunch of other old monsters teleported towards Lin Xun in a ferocious manner.
The smiles of Xing Jianxia’s group froze, and their pupils shrank. The deaths of Gu Caozhi and Demon Lord Huyong had clearly enraged old devil Ying Tiansheng, to the point he had disregarded Four Symbols Heavenly Pass in his hurry to slay Lin Xun!
“Go.”
Xing Jianxia and the others immediately rushed up, planning to grab Lun Xun and make their escape.
The area became chaotic. The turn of events had happened too fast. Caught by surprise, Madame Crane's and the scattered spectators’ expressions drastically changed. Who would have thought that Ying Tiansheng would strike on such short notice?
