Chapter 1275 Stupa Land
At first, Yang Tianqi was pleasantly surprised to run into Lin Xun again. It was like enemies meeting each other after many years.
He even made the decision to kill Lin Xun no matter what and get rid of the thorn.
But when he witnessed Xue Zhixian’s tragic defeat, it felt like a bucket of ice cold water had poured over him, extinguishing the joy in his heart. He stiffened, flooded by indescribable terror.
He did not feel good at all.
Relatively speaking, his strength was not worse than Xue Zhixian, but it also was not better.
How could he fight Lin Xun?
However, he knew he had to do something because Xue Zhixian was on the brink of danger.
But, to guarantee his own safety, he decided to flee as soon as he rescued Xue Zhixian!
This was undoubtedly a shameful and humiliating decision.
Unfortunately, Lin Xun did not intend to allow him that chance.
Boom!
Lin Xun effortlessly deflected the waterfall of sword qi gushing at him with a raise of his hand and was already charging towards Yang Tianqi.
The terrifying speed caught Yang Tianqi off guard.
His face blanched, and he had to fight back with all his strength.
Then, he experienced the feeling of being utterly overpowered.
Regardless of what powerful cultivation art or means he activated or how many precious treasures he brought out, all were destroyed and suppressed by Lin Xun.
He was like an ant shaking a tree!
It was impossible to describe Yang Tianqi’s current mood and feelings. Years ago, when he first laid eyes on Lin Xun, he already disliked and disdained him.
Even just now, when he again faced Lin Xun, who was no longer the same as before, he still radiated an air of pride and superiority.
But all that disdain, dislike, pride, and superiority had been destroyed, crushed and trampled to pieces!
His face turned livid and distorted with shock and anger. His eyes were splitting in the corners, and his hair was disheveled. He was no different from a trapped beast driven into a desperate situation.
How could he still maintain the demeanor of a longevity giant?
Boom!
Another punch made Yang Tianqi cough up blood, his long light blue hair became ruffled and disorderly, and his muscles were still twitching and vibrating.
He had been badly wounded. He struggled to even protect himself, let alone rescue Xue Zhixian.
In the distance, not a single voice could be heard. Everyone was paralyzed to the spot, minds shaking. Who could believe that Lin Xun had consecutively overpowered two longevity giants from the Skyless Sect?
Moreover, it seemed to have not taken much effort from Lin Xun.
“Another piece of trash!” remarked the big black bird, looking more smug and contemptuous of Yang Tianqi. He was so arrogant moments ago, but now, he has been beaten to the point that he is almost on his knees!
At the same time, the big black bird also sensed that Lin Xun’s strength had completely transformed after being trapped in Tragic Death Land for several days.
His cultivation remained the same, yet his strength had significantly improved!
“That kid must have gained a lot,” the big black bird muttered.
Bang!
Before long, Yang Tianqi was dripping with blood and plunged from mid-air, smashing into the ground and laying motionless like a stunned toad.
On the pale blue ship, the pretty woman was struck with horror, teeth chattering. If she hadn’t witnessed it with her own eyes, she could never imagine that the legendary Demon God Lin would be so terrifying!
When she thought about how they intercepted such a terrifying person and attempted to force him to give up his treasures, she almost collapsed and broke down.
However, she did not, but Yang Tianqi did.
Trembling, he got back on his feet, his expression changing indefinitely. “Lin Xun, for the sake of Junior Sister Le, can you please spare us this time?”
He had begged for mercy!
In the distance, everyone was chilled to the core.
It was unbelievable that a longevity giant would beg for mercy and that only highlighted the terror of Lin Xun even more.
Were Xue Zhixian and Yang Tianqi strong?
Yes!
But their opponent was stronger than them, and more than a little bit!
This was why there was a saying that there was always someone better in the great wide world!
“It’s over,” Lin Xun uttered calmly.
With a thud, Yang Tianqi’s head rolled to the ground. A peerless figure of his generation came to an end like that.
Even in death, his eyes were wide with shock and disbelief.
Unfortunately, he did not know that if he had cared about Le Caiwei right from the start, then he would never have ended up like this.
He had brought upon this himself.
On the ground, as though suffering a panic attack, Xue Zhixian sprang up and bolted into the distance.
Pu!
The Broken Blade slashed across the air and took his head. He followed in the footsteps of Yang Tianqi.
Everywhere, it was utterly silent, the heavy stench of blood that hung in the air seeming nonexistent.
On the blue treasure ship, the pretty woman was already scared stiff, her face deathly pale, almost to the point of transparent.
“Was that cruel?” Lin Xun looked over at her.
The pretty woman shuddered, her teeth chattered, and she shook her head frantically. “No...they had obstructed the road and attempted robbery. They brought their fates upon themselves.”
Lin Xun looked away. Meanwhile, the big black bird had finished clearing the battlefield, searching for loot, and returned happily.
“Remember to collect their bodies.” With those words, Lin Xun and the big black bird never glanced at the pretty woman again and continued onwards.
Watching their departing figures as they left, the experts watching from afar all felt a sense of relief as if a weight had lifted off their bodies. The cold feeling also gradually subsided in their hearts.
When they looked at the bodies of Yang Tianqi and Xue Zhixian, their faces were filled with pity. You could have offended anyone else, but why did you choose Demon God Lin?
If you did not bring this upon yourself then what?
The pretty woman had collapsed on her buttocks, petrified, like her soul had left her body.
……
“This is yours.”
While traveling onwards, the big black bird portioned some loot into a storage bag and tossed it over to Lin Xun.
“I don’t think you did anything.” Lin Xun shot a glare at the thieving bird.
“Hey, finders keepers. Do you not know this rule?”
The big black bird showed no politeness, impressing Lin Xun with his shamelessness.
“Don’t talk nonsense, hurry up and lead the way.”
Lin Xun checked the bag to find two sprigs of divine herbs and other rather rare materials. It seemed the big black bird was not too greedy after all.
Three days later.
Under the guidance of the big black bird, they came to a strange, ominous area.
Here, several mountains were connected together, but each peak was made of heaps of bones. As far as the eyes could see were alarming, winding mountains of bones.
“This is Stupa Land.”
The big black bird stretched out its claws to point into the distance. “In the center of Stupa Land is a Stupa Tower formed from piles of bones, standing at three thousand feet tall. It is called the Three Thousand Stupa.
“I’ve been here once before. The Stupa Tower is extremely mysterious, able to completely subdue the fiendish qi in this area. Otherwise, the multiple closely connected mountains of bones would have long given rise to strange creatures and turned the place into one filled with terrifying dangers.”
“So, the existence of this tower is a good thing?” asked Lin Xun.
“That’s correct. I reckon that the Three Thousand Stupa Tower was built by an almighty sage for the purpose of suppressing and sealing the aura in this land of great evil.” The big black bird suddenly removed the black pot on his back and with a slight shake of it, whacked the Ancient Buddha Son’s clone to the ground.
His nose was bruised and his face had swollen up, but he was still unconscious.
“Next, do we act according to our original plan?” asked the big black bird.
“Yes.” Lin Xun nodded.
Immediately, the two quietly walked away, and Lin Xun activated the Suanni Qi to conceal their presence.
Before long, Ancient Buddha Son’s clone regained consciousness. When he opened his eyes, he was startled at first, and then he sprang up and his eyes darted around the surroundings.
Expressions flitted across his face, and it took him a while to regain his composure.
“That baldy is rather calm,” muttered the big black bird.
Lin Xun was also a little surprised. He had to admit that Ancient Buddha Son’s state of mind was indeed tough and strong. He remained unfazed even at such a time.
Suddenly, Ancient Buddha Son said aloud in a solemn and unusually calm voice, “Lin Xun, I know what you are planning. You just want me to lead you to my true body. Fine, since you want to die, I will of course fulfill your wish.”
After saying that, he sped towards the mountains of piled bones in the distance.
He looked calm and composed, as if he had long known that Lin Xun would be hiding in the dark.
However, Lin Xun would not foolishly reveal himself. Under the shelter of Suanni Qi, he and the big black bird quietly followed after him.
“Do you see? This is Stupa Land. It was created by a Saint Buddha in the ancient era. Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-floor stupa. Additionally, the Saint Buddha had killed countless enemies to fight back invasions and attacks from the eight domains!” Ancient Buddha Son said indifferently. “The mountains of bones that you see are all remains of experts from the other eight domains. To the Ancient Wasteland Domain, their deaths are not to be regretted.”
He constantly moved forward and never looked back once.
Before long, a unique bone mountain came into sight. Its uniqueness was due to the fact that it was made from a single skeleton!
The skeleton was enormous and lofty, stretching thousands of feet into the air like a kneeling giant.
Even after countless years, the giant skeleton still emitted an oppressive aura that assaulted passersby faces.
“That’s the corpse of a Saint from the Giant Spirit Blood Clan in the Blood Demon Ancient Domain, who was killed by ultimate supreme power.”
This was the first time Lin Xun heard of the name Blood Demon Ancient Domain.
Then, they came across another strange mountain, which was formed from a huge, thick and long coiling skeleton that looked like the body of a python dragon.
“This was left by a Saint from the Torch Dragon Lineage in the Absolute Yin Ancient Domain after being burned to death by a Saint Buddha using an azure lantern.”
Ancient Buddha Son’s clone seemed to know the origin and background of this area very well like the back of his hand.
This surprised both Lin Xun and the big black bird.
It should be noted that the Supreme Realm had only appeared a handful of times since ancient times, and it was only in this great age that sealed places such as the Stupa Brahma Land had broken their seals and presented them to the world.
How would Ancient Buddha Son know so many secrets?
“This is the corpse of a sword saint from the Great Luo Ancient Domain. His swordsmanship was unrivaled, and to kill him, the Saint Buddha ended up suffering irreparable injuries and finally passed away after creating the Three Thousand Stupa Tower.”
The Ancient Buddha Son’s clone came to a standstill, staring at a standing humanoid skeleton.
The spine was as straight as a sword, and every inch of its bones radiated the sharpness of a sword.
After endless years of corrosion, the spine had not bent even the slightest, nor had the intense sword qi in his body faded.
This was because this was the skeleton of a sword saint!
