Free Web NovelChapter 955: Chapter 955: All the Geniuses Were Scared Off!
The Enlightenment Stone sat at the heart of the Sky Temple Square.
Around it, from inside to outside, were ten rings.
The top hundred on the Heaven Ranking were arrayed within them according to rank.
The closer you were to the Enlightenment Stone, the more benefits you naturally received.
On the outermost tenth ring, all ten people opened their eyes.
Hum!
The next moment, a flash of white light appeared, and Lin Mu’s figure manifested above the Sky Temple Square.
Jing Xu rose slowly to his feet, his gaze gloomy.
Every single instant of comprehending the Enlightenment Stone was of utmost importance.
Now, he had no choice but to face battle!
If killing weren’t forbidden inside the Sky Temple, he truly would’ve felt like killing someone right now.
"Heaven Ranking 101st, Barbarian Continent, Earth Blessed Land, Lin Mu."
"Heaven Ranking 100th, Tuo Continent, Void Sacred Land, Jing Xu."
"Battle, begin!"
The voice of the Sky Temple rang out.
"Barbarian Continent? Earth Blessed Land?"
On the tenth ring, the geniuses ranked ninety-first to one hundred all looked at Lin Mu in shock.
It wasn’t that there had never been geniuses from the Barbarian Continent promoted into the top hundred, but the Barbarian Continent actually had a Blessed Land now?
The Barbarian Continent was called "Barbarian" precisely because it was remote and backward, with no Blessed Land in existence.
"So he’s actually from the Barbarian Continent, what rotten luck!"
Jing Xu’s face was full of annoyance.
Being challenged by a barbarian from the Barbarian Continent was extremely displeasing.
If he won, it was only natural, nothing glorious.
If he lost, he’d become a laughingstock instead.
"Brat, I’ll give you a chance. Admit defeat yourself right now and I won’t make things hard for you. Otherwise, once we leave the Sky Temple, my Void Sacred Land will..."
Jing Xu was clearly impatient and wanted to solve the problem with words.
"Slaying Gods and Demons and Punishing Immortals, Twelve Forms!"
"Godslayer Finger!"
Lin Mu was even more pressed for time; how would he waste words with this kind of person? The instant he attacked, it was with a finishing move!
"You..."
Jing Xu was horrified to discover that his body couldn’t move at all, as if he’d been pinned in place!
The last time he’d felt this kind of terror was before entering the Sky Temple, when facing a Great Power of Integration.
Boom!
A finger that spanned heaven and earth descended from the sky, directly grinding Jing Xu to pieces!
Not even bones remained!
A genius of the top hundred on the Heaven Ranking hadn’t even managed to withstand a single move!
This time, not only the tenth ring; even the geniuses on the fifth and sixth rings opened their eyes.
"One strike to kill Jing Xu. This newcomer’s a bit strong."
"From a new Blessed Land in the Barbarian Continent... could he be the Earth Realm Master?"
The geniuses all began speculating about Lin Mu’s identity.
Just when they thought Lin Mu would at least close his eyes and comprehend for a while to experience the mysteries of the Enlightenment Stone, Lin Mu pointed his sword-hand at the woman in red.
The woman in red’s face turned dark!
She was only ninety-ninth, not much stronger than Jing Xu, or she would’ve already challenged upward.
With Jing Xu being seconds-killed in one blow, she was absolutely not his match!
"I admit defeat!"
Before the battle even began, the woman in red spoke up and conceded.
Fortunately, since Jing Xu had been kicked out of the top hundred, even if she surrendered, she would simply swap places with Lin Mu and still be able to comprehend beside the Enlightenment Stone.
"I admit defeat!"
"I admit defeat!"
Before Lin Mu could even issue challenges, the remaining eight geniuses on the tenth ring all conceded.
The gap was too big.
There was simply no need to fight.
Lin Mu stepped forward, crossing over from the tenth ring and entering the ninth ring.
The ten geniuses ranked eighty-first to ninetieth on the Heaven Ranking looked at each other and likewise chose to surrender.
Though they were stronger than the ten on the tenth ring, they still couldn’t seconds-kill someone of Jing Xu’s level!
Surrender!
Then more surrender!
Lin Mu didn’t even need to challenge; he directly carved his way into the top fifty!
This time, all the geniuses by the Enlightenment Stone opened their eyes.
"This newcomer is truly fierce."
On the Enlightenment Stone’s first ring, among the top ten of the Heaven Ranking, someone spoke.
The ten of them—some had already been comprehending by the Enlightenment Stone for thousands of years; their cultivation had reached unimaginable heights.
If they successfully Integrated Dao and left the Sky Temple, they would definitely be apex powerhouses among those of Integration.
"Miao Lu, you’re ranked tenth. What do you think of this newcomer?"
The fifth on the Heaven Ranking asked.
Miao Lu was a purple-robed woman, a faint Evil Qi between her brows.
When her eyes opened and closed, black energy curled around her pupils.
"Fifty-fifty."
Miao Lu, a monstrous prodigy from the Northern Jambu Continent, had been comprehending at the Enlightenment Stone for three hundred years!
The fifth on the Heaven Ranking tugged at the corner of his mouth, noncommittal.
"Fight!"
Lin Mu swept his way forward all the way.
The thirtieth on the Heaven Ranking didn’t want to drop down to the next ring in such a suffocating way and chose to challenge!
This was the first person to accept battle after the hundredth-ranked Jing Xu!
With just one fight, Lin Mu had seized the thirty-first spot on the Heaven Ranking. This was extremely rare in the Sky Temple!
Barbarian Continent, Earth Blessed Land, Lin Mu.
These three names had already been branded into the mind of every genius in the top hundred. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Bam!
Lin Mu sent the thirtieth on the Heaven Ranking flying with a single sword strike!
Still just one move!
This time, even the faces of the top ten on the Heaven Ranking grew solemn.
The thirtieth on the Heaven Ranking couldn’t be considered weak.
Even for them, there was no way they could win so easily!
Ranked one hundred, ranked thirty—both had been defeated in a single move!
These geniuses were already starting to lose their sense of how deep Lin Mu’s strength ran.
"I admit defeat!"
"I admit defeat!"
This time, even the eleventh on the Heaven Ranking gave up on fighting.
Miao Lu took a deep breath and leaped up from the ground.
"Fight!"
With her shout, a streak of black light, carrying a terrifying aura of annihilation and death, swept toward Lin Mu to crush him.
Even within the stabilized heaven and earth of the Sky Temple, this terrifying Extinction force burned pits into the ground one after another!
"Minor Extinction Art—Miao Lu’s move has already merged three thousand kinds of Conceptual Realms. Its power really is extraordinary!"
The other nine of the top ten on the Heaven Ranking had brilliant light flashing in their eyes.
In a mere three hundred years, Miao Lu had merged three thousand Concepts into the Minor Extinction Art. With such talent, even as fellow exiled immortals and freakish monsters, they couldn’t help but admire her!
Lin Mu’s gaze was as still as a deep well; he raised his hand and unleashed another form!
Slaying Gods and Demons and Punishing Immortals, Twelve Forms!
Deicide Palm!
A Sky-supporting Giant Palm, like the great hand of a Buddha, held Sumeru within a mustard seed, covering an entire world!
The Minor Extinction Art formed from three thousand Conceptual Realms was like a puddle of dirty water, easily suppressed by that great hand.
"Nether!"
Miao Lu suddenly let out a soft cry, an ancient seal script character for "Nether" flashing in her eyes.
The Minor Extinction Art abruptly exploded, a terrifying Power of Death sweeping in all directions.
Lin Mu’s face didn’t change; his palm pressed downward!
Poof!
The exploding Minor Extinction Art was directly slapped to pieces!
Miao Lu couldn’t even dodge, and was swatted to death with a single palm!
An instant later, Miao Lu’s figure reappeared at the eleventh position on the Heaven Ranking, her face deathly pale.
Her gaze toward Lin Mu was full of horror.
She was a monster beyond even an exiled immortal, destined in the future to suppress an entire continent.
Yet now, facing an opponent of the same realm, she’d actually been killed in a single move!
What a terrifying difference.
"Daoist Master Yellow Springs!"
Miao Lu gritted her teeth and squeezed out four words between them!
In her eyes, this newcomer Lin Mu was another Daoist Master Yellow Springs who could dominate an entire world. Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly be this monstrously unreasonable!
The other nine of the top ten on the Heaven Ranking all looked at one another.
They were stronger than Miao Lu, but even they couldn’t seconds-kill her!
This newcomer was terrifyingly strong!
Hum!
The eighth, the sixth, and the fourth on the Heaven Ranking!
These three chose to Integrate Dao at the exact same time!
They refused to lose!
As exiled immortals, as monsters, they had their pride. They couldn’t bear the shame of being defeated in one move.
They’d rather Integrate Dao early than be defeated by Lin Mu!
Of the top ten on the Heaven Ranking, he defeated one and scared off three!
The hundred elites present all stared at Lin Mu, his white clothes like fresh snow, utterly speechless!
Was there anyone left who dared to face him?
