Chapter 1237 Smack Him Down
It’s that thieving bird again!
Lin Xun was stunned and surprised. It felt like nothing good ever happened whenever he saw that bird.
"Shhh!"
In the distance, the big black bird placed a claw on its beak and shushed him before suspiciously placing the black wok on its head.
It immediately vanished.
The black bird transmitted, "Young friend, Underworld Son's origins are rather special and his status is roughly equivalent to the Earth Treasury Temple’s Ancient Buddha Son. However, Underworld Son is a little more extraordinary. His grandfather is a hegemon who once reigned supreme in the Ancient Nebula Road and is a formidable individual who could slay even Saint experts."
The voice somehow also sounded rather suspicious. ''Do you know why he can slumber in the Supreme Realm? The answer lies in that Spirit Refining Kettle of his!"
A gulping sound followed which told Lin Xun that the thieving bird had set its sights on the Underworld Son’s Spirit Refining Kettle.
The black bird suggested, "Ahem, young friend, if you do me a favor later and thrash Underworld Son, I'll tell you a huge secret that will surely make you happy. How about it?"
A thunderous boom suddenly sounded from the battlefield as Wang Xuanyu staggered several steps back in the air.
On the other hand, Underworld Son imposingly stood there, having yet to take a single step back.
The crowd erupted at the sight.
Wang Xuanyu had clearly fallen into a disadvantage after the first move!
Lin Xun's eyes narrowed. He recalled the earlier clash between Underworld Son and Wang Xuanyu while casually transmitting, "Not interested."
The big black bird wasn’t discouraged and continued to try and convince Lin Xun, ''Young friend, Underworld Son is in possession of many treasures left to him by his grandfather. Every single one of them is an extremely rare and precious treasure. Aren’t you the least bit tempted?"
The battle erupted once more. Wang Xuanyu's expression had become much graver as he began to use his full power.
On the other side, Underworld Sun was also using killing moves.
Lin Xun could tell that the two of them were stronger than even the Thirteenth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan, Wu Lingdao!
Lin Xun nonchalantly replied, "Nope, not tempted."
The big black bird was slightly exasperated. "Are you really not going to help?"
Lin Xun replied, "I can help, but I have a condition."
The big black bird gritted its beak. ''I knew that you wouldn’t act before you’re certain of success. Speak your terms!"
Lin Xun said, "Owe me a favor."
The big black bird was initially taken aback before it happily agreed, "Deal."
Lin Xun said quietly, "If you dare to go back on the deal, don't blame me for handing over the Great Treasury Silent Scripture and Bodhi Wood to Earth Treasury Temple."
The big black bird immediately cursed in an agitated manner.
However, Lin Xun ignored it. In the end, the big black bird compromised and agreed. It naturally understood that favors were not so easy to repay!
Lin Xun grinned.
This big black bird knew many secrets, especially matters regarding Saint Monk Duji and the Black Phoenix Saint Queen.
If he were to go against Earth Treasury Temple in the future, he would have to first make sure to bind the big black bird to his camp!
Rumble!
On the battlefield, the outcome of the second move had been decided.
Underworld Son was forced a few steps back. He was slightly unsteady on his feet, but hadn’t received any injuries.
On the opposite side, Wang Xuanyu coughed up blood!
The surroundings were deathly silent.
Wang Xuanyu was a legendary supreme heaven pride of the current generation and his combat power was probably second to none among those present.
Despite this, he had been defeated twice by Underworld Son!
This proved that Underworld Son's foundation and strength were clearly superior to Wang Xuanyu's!
The big black bird sighed and lamented, "As expected of the Ten Direction Underworld Scripture inherited from the Underworld Emperor. Once it gets going, it can quickly double the user’s battle power. I’m afraid that Wang Xuanyu won’t be able to match Underworld Son in a prolonged battle...how unfortunate."
The information made Lin Xun's heart tremble.
The effect of swiftly doubling battle power was very similar to the Yazi’s Rage.
Underworld Son's confident voice sounded from the sky, "Dao Friend, I will give you another chance if you stop now."
"Cut the crap!"
Although Wang Xuanyu's complexion was pale, there was a determined look on his face. His aura grew increasingly powerful like a peerless sword that shone brightly across all nine heavens.
Underworld Son's expression grew increasingly frosty. ''I forgot to tell you something. Although the Law Power covering this place isn’t mine, I can utilize it if I wish to. A single move would have been more than enough for me to defeat you!"
Everyone’s expressions changed at this revelation.
They began to feel uneasy. None of them had expected Underworld Son to have such a trump card up his sleeve.
Even Lin Xun inwardly shivered in fear. If that was true, even he might not be able to win, let alone Wang Xuanyu!
Rumble!
Underworld Son attacked again. A river of blood soared through the air as if descending from the nine heavens, giving off an oppressive and cryptic aura.
He could already tell that Wang Xuanyu would not be used by him and was prepared to kill.
"Slash!"
Wang Xuanyu took a deep breath as his body and will became a sword.
However, he was suddenly covered by a black wok before the slash could be released as the big black bird appeared and yelled, ''Kid, it's all yours!"
Lin Xun inwardly cursed. The damned thieving bird had moved without giving him any advance warning.
However, there was already no time to think.
Swish!
He rose into the air to face Underworld Son. ''I'll fight you!"
Underworld Son's attack landed on empty air. He was caught by surprise by the sudden development. Before he could recover, he found Lin Xun already rushing at him, which caused his handsome face to darken.
"Stubborn fool, do you really think I don't dare to kill?"
With a wave of his sleeve, a rain of blood fell from the sky. The blood rain rapidly wove together to form a giant cage as it descended.
The attack was far more powerful than anything he had shown in the duel against Wang Xuanyu and seemed to be tinged with Law Power.
The sight of the blood-colored cage alone made one feel an inescapable and unavoidable sensation of helplessness.
Lin Xun took a deep breath as determination flashed in his eyes.
Omm!
The snow-white Broken Blade swept forth with a clear cry that seemed to ring out across the universe.
It was without form or any sense of permanence, and instead pulsed with ever-changing interpretations of the dao!
Impermanence Slash!
The Broken Blade slashed through the air.
The crowd could only feel a piercing pain in their eyes as uncontrollable amazement flooded their hearts. They were in absolute awe of the attack.
What kind of slash was this?
It seemed to encompass the ever-changing nature of the dao and contained great terror!
Boom!
The blood-colored cage was suddenly chopped in half, causing the blood rain to fall to both sides with a loud boom.
In the distance, Underworld Son's hair stood on end as his expression abruptly changed. He suddenly howled, and a blue palm-leaf-sized shield appeared in front of him.
Rumble!
However, the blue shield was smashed to pieces the moment it appeared and the frightening aftershocks sent Underworld Son hurtling through the air.
His ribs were broken, and he convulsed in pain as blood poured from his mouth and nose!
Even the gods and ghosts would be alarmed by the power of this slash! Everyone was frozen in shock as their scalps turned numb.
Just moments earlier, even the formidable Wang Xuanyu had been defeated twice by Underworld Son.
This proved that Underworld Son was stronger than Wang Xuanyu.
But now, Lin Xun had crushed Underworld Son with a single slash!
Such a drastic contrast was why everyone was so shocked to witness such a scene.
However, Lin Xun frowned as his expression became serious.
He had activated the Extreme Word Inheritance, Yazi’s Rage, and Sacred Combat Art and even supplemented the slash with the indestructible aspect of Water Law. It could be said that this was one of his strongest killing moves.
He had originally planned to kill Underworld Son with this slash.
To Lin Xun’s surprise, however, he had only succeeded in injuring the other party. This showed that Underworld Son was definitely not to be underestimated!
"You...managed to hurt me?"
Underworld Son’s hair fluttered as he looked down at his sunken chest in disbelief. His handsome face had become exceedingly cold and angry.
He suddenly raised his head, stared at Lin Xun, and said with a noticeable pause between each word, ''I! Want! You! To! Die!"
His aura rapidly rose as if a slumbering ancient beast was awakening within him.
The aura was so strong that the other experts began to struggle to breathe as the color drained from their faces.
Even the entire Divine Underworld Altar started to buzz and tremble.
One could see visible Law Power converging in the sky while constantly churning and rumbling.
In this moment, Underworld Son resembled the Underworld God who ruled over this domain!
"Quick, smack him down. He’s trying to use the Law Power of this domain!"
With a howl, the big black bird sent the big black wok into the sky. Hazy primal chaos qi flowed from it and blocked the gathering Law Power like a black curtain.
Rumble!
Meanwhile, Lin Xun also realized the severity of the situation. He immediately stepped into the air and thrust his finger.
A Moment of Spring and Autumn!
"Eh?"
Underworld Son’s eyes abruptly shrank as if he was unable to believe that a black wok was blocking the domain’s Law Power.
This was where he slumbered and cultivated. Although he didn’t control the Law Power here, he was able to utilize it to a certain extent. However, he was currently being hindered by a black wok!
Before he could react, Lin Xun's finger-force arrived from afar.
Underworld Son suddenly found himself within a constantly changing spring and autumn as a boundless force enveloped him, making him feel as tiny as an ant.
His heart violently twitched as he released a furious roar. In an instant, he transformed into a blood river that rapidly spread outwards, seeking to swallow the entire domain!
Underworld River’s Wrath!
Everyone immediately retreated in horror.
The power of Lin Xun’s finger attack and the might of Underworld River’s Wrath shook their hearts, caused their hands and feet to turn cold, and filled their hearts with great terror.
Bang bang bang!
Dreadful collisions rang out in rapid succession as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was crumbling as section after section of the raging blood river was destroyed...
In the end, Underworld Son emerged bleeding from his seven orifices as he stumbled and nearly fell from the sky.
He was filled with so much hatred that even his eyes were bleeding.
His attack would not have been defeated so easily if he had managed to borrow the domain’s Law Power!
Upon seeing Lin Xun rushing at him again, Underworld Son screamed and waved his sleeve. A blood-colored kettle appeared and rose into the air, surrounded by beautiful flowing light and dense primal chaos qi.
