Chapter 1357 Present Day Legend
This day was the end of the ten years of the Supreme Realm.
This day was also the death day of a group of saints!
The news about saints being slaughtered could not be kept secret at all. First, it set off storms across the major ancient orthodoxies in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.
Omega Sword Sect.
An imposing voice reverberated in the Omega Sword Sect’s meeting hall, “Are Yu Xiu and Ku Ya not back yet?”
In the hall, all the higher-ups of Omega Sword Sect looked at each other in dismay. This was the third time that the Supreme Elder had asked this question.
Logically speaking, if a group of saints set off to kill a youngster who had yet to reach the Saint stage, it should be no different from a group of dragons crushing an ant.
Instead, everyone should be most concerned about finding out which saint from which sect had landed the killing blow on Lin Xun in the end!
But even now, they had yet to hear back anything, which they found incredibly strange.
Suddenly, a panicked voice rang from the door of the meeting hall, “Reporting back, it’s bad, a saint sent a message...Elders Yu Xiu and Ku Ya have met with disaster!”
Then, furious roars burst out all over the entire Omega Sword Sect, quaking the sky and splitting the clouds apart.
Countless disciples of the Omega Sword Sect learned that two True Saints of the sect had been killed, and the murderer was Lin Xun!
......
Earth Treasury Temple.
In an ancient temple hall, the string of rosary beads in an old monk’s hand snapped, and crystal-clear rosary beads dribbled to the ground.
“Senior Brother Fa Zheng...was he no match for that heretic?”
The old monk mumbled in a daze, his expression changing indefinitely.
......
Sea Soul Clan.
“Died...Old Ancestor Shang Ye died!”
Endless voices of indignation and anger rang out, mingled with voices of mourning and weeping.
......
Moon Worshipper Sect.
“Impossible! How can an ant kill a guardian saint of our sect? Quick! Quickly confirm the reliability of the news!”
On this day, the sect master of the Moon Worshiping Sect flew into a rage like he had gone crazy, which frightened many disciples of the Moon Worshiping Sect and made them feel uneasy.
......
Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan.
“It’s over...the mysterious female saint did not appear, but Elder Gou Zhenshan still met with disaster...we...we have completely offended Lin Xun...”
All the important figures of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan were as petrified as if they had been struck by lightning.
Similar scenes were happening in all major ancient orthodoxies.
“Nine Saints have actually fallen...”
At the same time, when the other ancient sects and clans in the Ancient Wasteland Domain heard the news, they almost did not believe it.
To Saints, all living beings were like ants.
Saints were the pinnacle existence of the world, possessing divine mighty power shining as bright as the sun and the moon.
But nine saints had perished in battle!
When had something so unbelievable ever happened before in the Ancient Wasteland Domain?
“Whose power did Lin Xun borrow? How can it be so frightening?”
“I heard that some saints who were hiding in the dark were frightened by his power and fled in panic. They did not even show their faces!”
“That boy...is indeed fierce!”
“Even Saints can’t do anything to him!”
On this day, countless old monsters were out of sorts, shocked by the ruthlessness of a junior in the younger generation.
It was unknown how many major forces were in an uproar.
Nothing could stop the news from spreading like wildfire. Soon, not only the ancient sects and clans in the Ancient Wasteland Domain were aware of this, but also the hundreds of millions of citizens in every area heard about it.
The entire world was dumbstruck by the news.
“Despicable, high and mighty saints actually set up an operation together to attack a young talent like Demon God Lin. They are beyond shameless!” someone fumed.
“So satisfying! Demon God Lin did well! Those saints have always acted superior and regarded all other living beings as ants beneath them. Now, they have finally experienced what despair is!”
Someone laughed and cheered for Lin Xun.
“But wouldn’t Lin Xun completely anger those ancient orthodoxies after this?” Someone frowned with worry.
Someone jeered, “Nonsense! He can take down even Saints. Which ancient orthodoxy would be so blind to mess with Lin Xun in the future? Do they think not enough saints have been killed?”
This was the common people. They were just bystanders and so would make different evaluations based on their own preferences.
But no matter what no one dared to ridicule or mock Lin Xun again.
He was no longer someone who they could slander and insult!
He could even kill Saints! How many people in the past and present had been able to achieve what he had?
“From now on, Demon God Lin has proved himself and will become number one out of all of his peers. He is unstoppable and no major force would dare to bully him!”
Many people sighed.
On this day, the Supreme Realm came to an end, and it should have been the focus of attention for everyone in the world.
But everyone was astounded by the fact that Lin Xun was first place on the Genius Gold Rankings in these ten years of the Supreme Realm, surpassing all other heroes. He was regarded as the strongest among everyone in the Supreme Realm!
Additionally, today, he killed nine powerful saints despite being only at the seventh longevity tribulation stage. No one knew how to describe their emotions anymore!
It was like an unbelievable, impossible miracle.
It could even be regarded as a present day legend!
Some extraordinary characters who came out of the Supreme Realm, such as Imperial Son Shaohao, Fairy Ruowu, Little Golden-Winged Dapeng King, Yuan Fatian and others were also flabbergasted by the news.
Meanwhile, friends of Lin Xun, such as Ji Xingyao, Ye Chen, Xiao Cangtian, Xiao Qinghe, Mi Hengzhen and Yue Jianming could not help but lament at the fact that he was abnormal, but in truth, they felt extremely proud of him!
Even a saint could not do anything to him. Was that not amazing? Who in his generation could compare to him?
On the same day, news came out that Quasi-Emperor Bai Yujing, who had not appeared for a long time, issued an order that when the war of the nine domains broke out, if Lin Xun did not atone for his sins by fighting off the enemies, he will be the first to kill Lin Xun!
A tossed stone raised a thousand ripples!
Bai Yujing, a living fossil who had lived for an unknown number of years, an almighty figure who was suspected to have stepped into the Emperor Stage, was also alarmed!
He might have demanded Lin Xun to atone for his sins, but he did not personally take action to deal with him. Even if he was unhappy with Lin Xun’s act of killing so many Saints, he only ordered him to participate in the upcoming war of the nine domains.
Could it be that even a Quasi-Emperor acknowledges Lin Xun’s strength? Bai Yujing’s attitude chilled some ancient orthodoxies.
This was especially true for the Omega Sword Sect. All the higher-ups of the sect and the disciples were dumbstruck by the news.
They were the only ones who knew that Bai Yujing was the senior brother of the founder of their sect, so they were shocked to hear that he did not pursue the matter further. After all, Lin Xun had murdered two True Saints, Yu Xiu and Ku Ya, of their sect!
His action could even be understood as sparing Lin Xun!
“How could this be?”
The Omega Sword Sect was filled with the sounds of wailing.
“Mister Miaoxuan of the Divine Apparatus Pavilion also appeared, but he stood aside and did not stop Lin Xun from killing the Saints!”
This piece of news triggered another storm in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.
The Divine Apparatus Pavilion was one of the most mysterious and respected Hidden Holy Lands in the world, but they also...acknowledged Lin Xun?
In short, in the tenth year of the great age, on the day when the Supreme Realm came to an end, Lin Xun’s name illuminated the Ancient Wasteland Domain like the great sun, attracting worldwide attention and sparking discussion and uproars!
He was like a legend of the younger generation. He erupted with unprecedented power and scared the ancient orthodoxies witless!
The world continued in this state for more than a month before gradually calming down.
No one could deny that Lin Xun had established his power!
......
Snow Mulberry City was named after the snow mulberry trees planted all over the city.
The snow mulberry trees had roots like horned dragons and were blossoming with crystal white flowers in the cold air. However, after the death of the saints, the snow-white flowers were dyed a glaring bright-red shade.
The color of blood evoked poignant emotions.
The city was filled with flowers, but also covered with blood!
Since then, every year the snow mulberry flowers bloomed as red as blood, and it became a widely discussed spectacle of the world.
It was said that many cultivators heard the faint sobbing of Saints when the snow mulberry flowers were blooming...
As a result, Snow Mulberry City also made it onto the Annals of History and would be remembered by future generations as a legendary city in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.
In the endless years to come, it attracted countless cultivator visitors.
Thinking back to the bloody battle when Saints fell like the rain, many influential figures could not help but exclaim in admiration at the mention of the name Demon God Lin.
......
Several days later.
In a cave in the lush valley, Lin Xun woke up from meditation and felt that his body had been recharged and his mind refreshed.
“It’s worth exchanging one life-killing Stupa heart for the lives of nine Saints...” Lin Xun exhaled.
The life-killing Stupa heart, left by Saint Buddha Xingjia, was unimaginably terrifying because it was a power of the Emperor Stage!
Unfortunately, it could only be used once.
And now it had vanished.
However, this battle allowed Lin Xun to experience the brilliance of an Emperor cultivator and thus strengthened his determination to seek the dao.
In the Omega Secret Realm in his mind-sea, the cold and ethereal voice of the mysterious woman suddenly sounded, “Why did you not ask for my help?”
This was the first time she asked a question on her own initiative!
A smile curved Lin Xun’s lips as he responded through his spirit sense. “They are just a bunch of old animals, Elder, there was no need to bother you.”
“It seems like you are trying to get rid of your psychological dependence on me. Yes, ten years of being in the Supreme Realm have indeed brought about great changes in you. It is very good that you understand this...” The woman’s cold voice contained a rare hint of emotion.
She was emotionally moved.
She had watched Lin Xun grow up and observed him rise from a nobody to who he was today. How would she not be touched now that Lin Xun had made such achievements and no longer needed to rely on her?
The young eagle would one day spread his wings and fly.
A true cultivator should also be independent and self-reliant!
On the path of the great dao, if one only relied on their background, power, possessions and other people’s protection...
Their success would be limited!
“Elder, you flatter me. If I encounter an irresolvable predicament in the future, I will definitely still seek your help,” Lin Xun quickly explained with a wry smile.
Who was he kidding? He would not give up on the opportunity of asking the mysterious woman to lend a hand.
Of course, he had a sort of drive and determination in his heart. When the time came that he would never need to turn to the mysterious woman for help in the future....
...that would be even better!
