Chapter 1315 Storm Brewing, Waiting For One Person
Ancient Tablet of All.
In the training secret realm transformed from the thirty-sixth Body Refinement Battle Diagrams of All.
Boom!
Deafening noise grew and spread like a thunderclap or rather like the roar of gods in the sky. It was filled with a powerful and oppressive aura that bore down on people’s hearts.
All the noise came from Lin Xun!
He was sitting cross-legged, qi roaring around him like a furnace. His skin seemed to be made out of solid gold and jade, emitting wondrous and brilliant light and producing all sorts of obscure visions.
Vaguely, there seemed to be the silhouette of a divine being sitting among them. Grand and majestic dao sound resounded throughout the universe.
Even when Lin Xun breathed in and out, it seemed like the wind was roaring and thunder rumbling.
Since he had begun his training with the help of the Ancient Tablet of All, he had undergone one test after another.
The enlightenments and gains he received steadily rose.
Some of those enlightenments came from the changes in his physical strength, and others came from the experiences and insights left behind by the Divine Elephant Martial Emperor.
Now, with them all gathering within him, his physical cultivation was ready to break through to the king stage.
Moreover, he would step into the Supreme Stage!
His physical body had reached the king stage and his physical cultivation was at the supreme level! In less than a month of training, he already achieved such attainments in his physical cultivation.
If word spread, then it would definitely cause a sensation in the world.
But for Lin Xun, it was very natural.
This was because he had never once ran into any obstacles or hurdles in his physical training, and had been soaring rapidly and courageously!
All of this was related to the solid foundation he laid during his previous practice, but also due to the result of all the training and tests in the Ancient Tablet of All.
After all, the Ancient Tablet of All was left by a martial emperor and was regarded as a heaven-defying treasure for physical cultivation.
But more importantly, the Origin Aeth Artery in Lin Xun’s body played an irreplaceable role in his breakthrough to the king stage!
In the past month, while he was training in the secret realm created by the Ancient Tablet of All, the Origin Aeth Artery was constantly producing waves of strange energy as though it had been completely awakened.
It helped Lin Xun solve all issues he encountered during his training and progressed incredibly smoothly and swiftly.
In particular, his physical cultivation had just ascended to the king stage, and his entire physique had undergone an unprecedented transformation.
The feeling was similar to emerging from a cocoon and becoming a butterfly or rather being reborn!
But while the Origin Aeth Artery was transforming his physical body, he also underwent an unexpected transformation.
Rays of blazing light beamed outwards from the Origin Aeth Artery amid faint vibrations of mysterious and obscure dao sounds.
Looking closer, the pure white Origin Aeth Artery was releasing sacred brilliance like the glorious sun.
Under this astonishing change, Lin Xun felt a burning sensation in his chest like it was a furnace. The bizarre unparalleled power made it feel like his skin, muscles, bones, acupoints and organs were about to explode from being crammed with such terrifying power!
Immediately afterwards, the indescribable pain made him quiver violently, and his handsome face contorted with a grimace.
Painful!
So painful!
He never expected that, as his physical cultivation reached the king stage, his Origin Aeth Artery would undergo such a violent and drastic change.
It completely caught him off guard!
“Ah—!”
He could not hold it back anymore and released a roar of agony.
Boom!
From afar, he was enveloped in blinding blazing light. The light constantly pulsed and vaporized, taking the shape of a giant abyss.
It burned endlessly!
The secret realm violently vibrated, while the sky and earth were submerged in the bright and burning abyss!
Fortunately, this happened in the secret realm transformed by the Ancient Tablet of All. Otherwise, in the outside world, it would have attracted everyone’s attention.
Only after a long while did all the visions subside like a tide.
When everything was restored to as before, Lin Xun was lying on the ground, face pale and brows ruffled in exhaustion.
He looked as though he had just been fished out of the water as his body was soaking in sweat.
However, his dark, unfathomable abyss-like eyes brightened with a heartfelt joy.
His Origin Aeth Artery had completely transformed!
And he had grasped his first innate divine power!
Hu—
After a long moment, he inhaled deeply, rose to his feet and walked out of the secret training realm transformed by the Ancient Tablet of All.
After several days of closed-door cultivation, his physical cultivation had reached the supreme king stage and he had cultivated the Original Pure Combat Body and grasped the corresponding physical combat art—Original Pure Authority Seal!
“Big Brother!”
“Brother Lin is finally out!”
The sight of Lin Xun’s figure walking out of his training place brought a feeling of relief over everyone, and their eyes lit up.
There were only three days until the duel that Yun Qingbai scheduled.
......
Three days passed by in a flash.
Very quickly, it was time to face the duel.
In the Ultimate Realm, the Demon Slaying Platform.
It was actually a mountain peak with a flattered top like a platform. The ground was stained with dried blood, unerasable even by the erosion of time.
This was the Demon Slaying Platform.
Rumor had it that a long ago, an unparalleled Saint, armed with only a sword, slaughtered thousands of enemies from the other eight domains over a course of seven days and seven nights. In the end, the mountain was stained permanently with blood.
The area around the Demon Slaying Platform had always been quiet and deserted due to its remote location, but now, countless experts had gathered within a radius of hundreds of miles!
The geniuses, giants, overlords, fairies, and holy maidens from all over the Upper Nine Realms...had arrived in advance of the duel.
“Le Caiwei, the holy maiden of Skyless Sect, is here too.”
“Wait a minute, isn’t that the fierce and mighty Yuan Fatian who is ranked fifth on the Genius Gold Rankings?”
“Stop making a huge fuss over everything! In the past few days, almost all the overlords on the Genius Golden Rankings have already arrived here!”
There was an uproar in every direction.
The area around the Demon Slaying Platform had seemed to become a gathering of geniuses and overlord-figures. They each sparkled dazzlingly like stars in the sky, and each had their own uniqueness. Many people in the crowd could not control their excitement.
This was a spectacular occasion!
At least, never had there been a battle in the Upper Nine Realms that attracted worldwide attention and created so much noise.
This was the influence that Yun Qingbai and Lin Xun had in the Upper Nine Realms!
The former was once crowned the strongest in the world and regarded as the number one swordsman. He possessed extraordinary strength that trumped everyone else.
The latter, ever since he embarked on the cultivation path, had been undefeatable. He had catapulted to fame from trampling on the dead. He was known as the invincible demon god.
Today, an unprecedented battle would happen between the two. Who could ignore it?
It was no exaggeration to say that the battle, regardless of who won, would shake the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain and go down in history!
Why isn’t Demon God Lin here yet?” Many people waited anxiously.
“Wait a little longer, he will definitely show up. Otherwise Yun Qingbai will not be as merciful to Lin Xun’s friends as before!”
Amidst the discussion, a jeweled chariot descended from the sky like a divine rainbow.
Shaohao, clad in a beautiful jade robe, arrived on the Demon Slaying Platform under the escort of several powerful cultivators like a majestic emperor.
“Imperial Son Shaohao!”
Upon his entrance, the atmosphere stilled, and all gazes gathered on him.
A few years ago, the number one spot on the Genius Gold Rankings undoubtedly belonged to Yun Qingbai, and no one could shake it!
But in recent years, that top spot had always been occupied by Imperial Son Shaohao!
Everyone believed that Imperial Son Shaohao was on the same level as Yun Qingbai. If the two faced off against each other, then their duel would have as much impact as between Lin Xun and Yun Qingbai.
“Paying respect to Brother Yun.”
As soon as Shaohao arrived, his gaze shifted over at the figure sitting cross-legged on the Demon Slaying Platform, and his eyes took on a sheen.
Naturally, the figure was Yun Qingbai.
Ten days ago, he had arrived and sat cross-legged on the ground, clasping the sword box.
He had his eyes tightly closed like an old monk in meditation.
In the past ten days, he showed not a flicker of reaction despite the changes in the surrounding area and the arrival of many powerful figures.
But at this moment, he slightly peeled back his eyelids and darted a glance at Shaohao. “Imperial Son Shaohao, I’ve been looking forward to meeting you.”
Shaohao gave a slight smile, “It is better to make friends than enemies. Brother Yun, dare I ask, if I plead for mercy, can you forget about this duel?”
Yun Qingbai withdrew his gaze and uttered indifferently, “You have to ask my sword.”
Shaohao nodded and stepped back.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a ray of fiery red light fluttered down from the sky, and then turned into a slender figure, shrouded in swirling wisps of flames.
She marched up to the platform, swept a glance at Shaohao and then at Yun Qingbai. Then, she stood aside without a word.
But her arrival caused a commotion in the audience. All eyes glimmered with surprise, admiration, respect, and enthusiasm when they saw her graceful figure.
Fairy Ruowu!
A pure-blooded descendant of the Vermillion Bird Clan! Her name had been hovering between the top three positions on the Genius Gold Rankings ever since she came to the world a few years ago. She was regarded as a genius maiden with the highest likelihood of overtaking Shaohao as number one!
Afterwards, Wang Xuanyu from the Great One Sect, Mi Hengzhen, a successor from the Moon Sun Sacred Palace, Ye Mohe, a disciple of the Origin God Sect...as well as other remarkable famous figures also arrived one after another.
The atmosphere grew increasingly restless.
“Demon God Lin, why isn’t he here yet?”
As dusk fell, many people became impatient.
On the other hand, peerless figures such as Shaohao and Fairy Ruowu stood silently without a flicker of impatience.
The setting sun painted the sky with the colors of blood.
An awful atmosphere filled the world.
Suddenly, in the distant sky, a tall figure strode this way, sleeves fluttering and movements calm and relaxed.
He had his hands behind him, his dark eyes were indifferent, and his aura was as unfathomable as a bottomless abyss. His imposing figure took on a sacred golden hue from the rays of the setting sun like a divine being.
