Chapter 1316 The Unmatched Battle Kicks Off
Lin Xun!
Countless gazes simultaneously shifted to the figure descending from the sky.
The figure bathed in the sunset glow looked like a celestial being descending upon the world.
“Lin Xun, you finally came.”
On the Demon Slaying Platform, Yun Qingbai rose from his meditative state.
His eyes resembled a pair of terrifying whirlpools, swirling with wisps of lightning-like sword intent. Light beamed out from them and instantly tore through the air and collided with the cold look in Lin Xun’s eyes.
A deafening sound of explosion stung everyone’s eardrums, and a shower of bright sparks shot everywhere.
Countless people held their breath and watched on.
The long-awaited, earthshaking battle that would go down in history was finally about to begin!
“It’s him...”
Le Caiwei’s eyes glinted. She had not seen Lin Xun in many years, and compared to before, he had become completely different.
She could not help but sigh.
She thought back to when she gifted him a Great Dao Hidden King Token, believing that he would only receive protection and not become an enemy of the world if he joined a certain hidden holy land.
But now...
Her thinking had been completely wrong. Lin Xun did not need to join any sect or clan to be invincible in the world!
“It is indeed Demon God Lin. Was he forced to show up, or does he have the confidence to take down Yun Qingbai?”
Everyone was more or less restless; no matter whether it was an ordinary cultivator or one of the overlords on the Genius Gold Rankings they all could not calm down.
Lin Xun!
A legendary demon god-like character. Ever since he started cultivating, he had been unstoppable, single handedly slaughtering many people at every chance.
Even if his name had never once appeared on the Genius Gold Rankings, who would dare to ignore his existence?
After all, there were so many peerless figures who had either died or were defeated at his hands, such as Underworld Son, Ancient Buddha Son, Wu Lingdao, Bai Longting...
The number was more than that could be counted on the fingers!
Lin Xun’s prestige could be said to have been built from mountains of corpses and seas of blood. It was understandable that many feared him.
“He is very strong, undisputedly strong, but to say that he stands a chance against Yun Qingbai is simply absurd!”
Some people sneered, most of whom were Lin Xun’s defeated opponents.
“Brother Lin, this battle is inevitable. I am here to act as a protector. If anyone here is up to something bad during the battle, then they will have to get past me first!” Imperial Son Shaohao’s resounding voice echoed throughout the world.
Everyone was startled and donned different expressions.
Whoever dared to intervene in the battle and took the opportunity to harm Lin Xun would end up angering Imperial Son Shaohao.
“That’s right.”
On the other side, Fairy Ruowu, bathed in wisps of flame, also nodded.
The upcoming duel could only be described as rare and unmatched. If it was ruined by someone else, then it would be the greatest disrespect to the battle and the audience and no one should tolerate it.
Many overlord-like figures who were well known across the Upper Nine Realms expressed that they would only watch the battle and not intervene, and anyone who dared to overstep was their enemy.
“Yun Qingbai.”
Lin Xun looked at Yun Qingbai, who was standing on the platform like an unrivaled sword. His eyes were devoid of emotions and as calm as still water.
This was the second time he and Yun Qingbai met.
Compared with a few years ago, Yun Qingbai had not only recovered from his injuries, but also reached the seventh longevity tribulation stage.
Moreover, the mighty aura around him seemed to be soaring into the sky. It was extremely condensed and radiated the feeling of extreme perfection as though every aspect was in perfect harmony and connected with heaven and earth.
“Beat the snake to death or it will cause endless calamity. When you fled from the Stupa Brahma Land, you looked so embarrassing and miserable, but now, you have grown stronger again...”
Although Lin Xun thought this, his emotions did not change at all.
He had been preparing for today’s battle for too long!
In the past, the mere mention of Yun Qingbai would spark anger and hatred in him, and make him feel unbearable pressure.
That was because, at that time, he did not have the absolute confidence to defeat Yun Qingbai.
But now, it was different.
“Lin Xun, I have waited ten days for you.”
Yun Qingbai said aloud, and his eyes that were filled with swirling sword intent shot out a terrifying light. “I have to admit that your progress surprised me. If I give you another ten years, no, five years, I won’t even dare to guarantee that I can kill you.”
“Stop talking nonsense, we have to put an end to the feud between us. Today, either you or I will have to die. Only then will this battle end!” Lin Xun stated calmly, murderous intent surfacing in his dark eyes.
He did not need to explain himself. Only when Yun Qingbai was dead would his mind be able to be at ease.
He might be the most powerful genius in the world, and he might possess abilities and skills that surpassed everyone else.
But, given Lin Xun’s current cultivation. He was no longer afraid of him!
Unafraid!
That word represented all the hard work and efforts that Lin Xun had put into his cultivation ever since he was young.
The others might not understand, but he knew very well himself!
“You are right. The feud will never end until one of us dies. Only one of us can live beyond today.”
As Yun Qingbai said this, he threw his head back and he produced a wave of frightening sword qi that ripped the sky like a storm!
“Let’s fight!”
“Today, in front of countless fellow cultivators, I, Yun Qingbai, will kill Lin Xun on the Demon Slaying Platform with the sword in my hand!”
As his serious and cold voice rang out, he soared into the sky.
The two launched into action at the same time.
Boom!
Lin Xun leaped up and wielded his fist through the air.
It was simple, direct, and produced no sparks or fireworks, but when the fist power erupted, the entire world quaked violently as if the sky was collapsing!
“It started!”
In the audience, countless people held their breath and watched nervously.
Peerless figures such as Imperial Son Shaohao and Fairy Ruowu also donned serious expressions and released their spirit sense to watch with undivided attention.
“Condense!”
In contrast to Lin Xun’s tyrannical fist that dominated the sky and earth, Yun Qingbai flicked the sleeve of his pure-white robe and a thousand-foot-long wave of splendid sword qi suddenly condensed in the air, glowing beautifully.
The entire sky was illuminated by the spectacular sword!
“Slash!”
With one thought, Yun Qingbai sent the sword with the power to crush mountains slashing downwards with a deafening roar.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sword qi and fist qi collided in a vast explosion that sent endless light rain lashing down, blinding everyone’s eyes.
However, to everyone’s astonishment, Lin Xun’s fist was not only tyrannical, but also extremely condensed. Following a series of collisions and explosions, the power of his fist remained unstoppable and unabated.
Finally, with an ear-splitting explosion, the thousand-foot-long sword qi was reduced to a colorful shower of light.
Gasps rang out in every direction.
However, before everyone could react, Yun Qingbai struck back. The rain of sword qi that streaked all over the sky seemed to come alive, crisscrossing and converging in the sky like a river of stars!
Lin Xun’s fist power was dissolved in mid-air.
It fell utterly silent, but everyone’s heart was tumbling in their chest.
It was their first exchange of blows, but the power displayed by the two was already breathtaking!
Lin Xun’s fist shook the sky like a mighty hammer.
Yun Qingbai’s sword produced all kinds of unparalleled visions that could take down any of his peers.
However, that was just a casual strike from the two.
If the two had fought with all their strength, then how terrifying would that be?
Everyone was full of anticipation.
“Come again!”
Lin Xun bellowed, stepped forward, and threw out a punch that resembled a rushing waterfall. The space collapsed wherever the fist touched.
From afar, a long and narrow ravine formed in the sky!
The power of the fist was akin to a giant abyss, swallowing everything in its way.
Boom!
Even the mountains thousands of miles away collapsed one after another, unable to bear the tremendous impact caused by the fist power. The surrounding vegetation and boulders were pulverized to dust.
The audience unconsciously retreated and raised their defense, their faces skewed with a mix of shock, disbelief, and bewilderment. It was only when they witnessed Lin Xun’s power with their own eyes that they realized that he was even stronger than rumored!
“The three meanings of the sword dao, rise!”
Yun Qingbai had an air of superiority particularly with his white robe whipping around him,
He put his hands in the air.
Suddenly, three different kinds of sword qi emerged between heaven and earth.
The first was an integration of black and white, yin and yang, and a clear separation between the clear and the turbid.
The second was a cycle of emptiness and illusion, just like the shadow of the sky.
The third rushed upwards, cutting through the sky and turning the sky and earth dim with its sharpness.
These three swords were the Great Yin-Yang Sword Sutra, Great Complete Void Sword Scripture, and the Great Omega Sword Sutra respectively!
Yun Qingbai activated all three in an instant. He could be said to have reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship. In the blink of an eye, the entire world was filled with the spectacular visions of the three sword qis!
The faces of Sword Demon Ye Chen, Ye Mohe, and other genius swordsmen stiffened, and their hearts clouded with bitterness.
Yun Qingbai was indeed worthy of being hailed the strongest swordsman of his generation!
“Impressive!”
Even Imperial Son Shaohao and Fairy Ruowu couldn’t help but marvel in astonishment. They knew that if they were to face him, they would have to bring out all their secret trump cards to be able to compete.
Boom!
However, Lin Xun did not retreat but rather advanced forward. As he raised his fist into the air to meet the attack head-on, his bearing resembled that of a true dragon.
From afar, it looked like a comet was roaring across the sky, leaving behind a long trail of dazzling light before it slammed hard into the three sword qi.
Boom!
The sky seemed to be splitting and the earth crumbling. Terrifying waves of powerful qi engulfed the area while the space above the Demon Slaying Platform was plunged into great turmoil. Sword qi and blast of fist light repeatedly clashed with the angry roar of gods and demons.
Indescribable shockwaves swept across at least thousands of miles.
Except for a small number of peerless overlords who were still standing in the same spot, the others had all been forced to retreat thousands of feet away despite mobilizing their strength to withstand the impact.
Under the horrified gazes of everyone, the space overhead tore apart like rags, crisscrossed with terrifying cracks. The airflow raged riotously, clouds collapsed, and dao light tumbled in all directions.
It looked as though the sky had been smashed!
But, what happened in that collision?
Everyone watched on with wide eyes.
“Yun Qingbai, bring out your true power, this is far from enough!”
Lin Xun’s calm voice rang out.
