Chapter 1039 A’lu

Delight and satisfaction filled Su Kong’s heart as he believed that he was about to get his revenge.

A few days ago, not only did he suffer a sneak attack from Lin Xun in the Ink White Province and was left with severe injuries, but he was also accused of colluding with the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan.

He viewed this as the greatest humiliation and shame and almost lost control of himself. He immediately began to frantically search for traces of Lin Xun.

In his opinion, Lin Xun desired to rise in the East Victory World so he very likely would participate in the Little Giants List Competition.

Therefore, Su Kong arrived here in advance and waited.

The fact that a Life Death Stage King who had survived two longevity tribulations showed not a hint of hesitation to deal with a junior was enough to demonstrate how furious he was.

His effort and hard work paid off. Lin Xun appeared and Su Kong, who had been accumulating his strength all this time and been ready for a long time, would not miss out on the chance to get revenge and wipe away his shame.

After the tragic lesson last time, he decided to mobilize all his strength in his first attack!

The terrifying aura of a king swept over the area like a tsunami, making it difficult for Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe to even move an inch.

The two were aghast. They never imagined that Su Kong would charge out from nowhere as soon as they reached Star Chess Sea.

Moreover, he launched a full-strength attack on them right away!

The power of a Life Death Stage King was enough to kill any cultivators of the five great cultivation stages.

Let alone the fact that Su Kong was a Life Death Stage King who had survived two longevity tribulations.

Not even a true Life Death Stage King would dare to let down their guard in the face of his full-power strike!

However, at this critical juncture, an unexpected scene happened.

A jet-black club shot up like a pillar, piercing the sky, pulverizing space where it passed, and emitting a destructive power that could wipe out heaven and earth.

Rumble!

The club slashed through the air and administered a simple strike.

The majestic king stage power that shrouded heaven and earth exploded like clouds with a deafening boom.

At the same time, Su Kong, who was smiling sinisterly, froze to the spot, his eyes popping out and his soul almost left his body.

Before he could react, the club slammed into him.

Bang!

Under the astonished gazes of Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe, Su Kong was hurled into the air like a sandbag.

Following a burst of bones snapping, Su Kong’s imposing body curled inwards like a prawn. His spine was broken.

Amidst a shrill and tragic scream, he flew into the sky and landed in the depths of the snowstorm.

“Damn.” Xiao Qinghe was dumbstruck.

Lin Xun felt a little dizzy. The scene was more than shocking. A king who had passed the second longevity tribulation was blasted away like a meteorite!

On the shore of Star Chess Sea, cultivators who hadn’t set off also gasped in horror as if they saw a ghost.

Boom!

A tall and imposing figure summoned the pillar-like jet-black club back to his hand, and it vanished without a trace.

The oppressive sacred aura that filled the air also dissipated.

The tall figure was a young man with bronzed skin, unkempt hair, a craggy face, thick, dark brows and big, bright eyes.

But his most unusual feature had to be that he was wearing animal skins that exposed the slabs of rock-like muscles on his arms.

He stood tall like a barbarian from the wilderness, exuding a chilling and domineering aura.

Everyone gathered their attention on the young man in animal skin, with expressions of surprise, curiosity, and seriousness.

Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe were no exception.

They were able to avert the danger thanks to the help of the young man in animal skin.

However, before they could express their gratitude, the tall youth spoke in a muffled voice, “My name is A’lu. I want to participate in the Little Giants List Competition. If you have the Secret Guide Map, then please take me with you, if not, then forget it.” His voice vibrated like thunder.

He spoke in a very straightforward manner.

“Are you also going to take part in the competition?” Xiao Qinghe’s eyes widened with disbelief. This guy can crush a king of the second longevity tribulation with a club. Why did he come all the way here to join in?

A’lu scratched his head and asked in puzzlement, “I’m only nineteen this year, why can’t I participate?”

He’s nineteen years old?!

Audible gasps rang out again. To be honest, they all thought that the wild and rough-looking guy was an elder, but he turned out to be so young!

By the time Lin Xun regained his composure, he realized that, although the aura around A’lu was incredibly powerful, it had yet to exceed the scope of the Cyclic Derivation Stage. He also lacked the unique aura belonging to the king stage.

“But how did you send him flying with a club just now...” Xiao Qinghe was baffled.

Before he finished speaking, A’lu rolled his eyes and grinned. “You are such an idiot! That’s the power of my Dragon Bone Club. It wasn’t my own power.”

Xiao Qinghe’s face creased with anger. It did not feel good to be called an idiot by a nineteen-year-old fool.

However, he had to put up with him since the other party had saved them.

“The Dragon Bone Club...it must be a powerful Saint treasure,” Lin Xun stated as he recalled the scene of Su Kong being hurled into the air.

“A’lu, you saved us just now because you want us to take you into the Immortal Forbidden Land, is that right?” Xiao Qinghe asked.

A’lu rolled his eyes again. “I'm not that silly yet. I made the move just now because I couldn’t stand that old guy. He’s already set foot into the king stage, but he is still so shameless to fight against us juniors. He deserves a beating.”

Xiao Qinghe almost lost his temper when that guy rolled his eyes at him again. He looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot.

He said through gritted teeth, “Just because you couldn’t stand him?”

A’lu nodded righteously. “I just asked if you can take me with you, so why are you asking so much nonsense? You are like a nosy crow! How annoying! If I was in a bad mood, then I would have slapped you to death already.”

The corners of Xiao Qinghe’s lips twitched. He fumed to himself. So arrogant! Every word of that barbarian pisses people off!

“Okay, let’s go together.” Lin Xun decided. On the contrary, he found A’lu very interesting.

“You agreed just like that?” Xiao Qinghe whispered in irritation. “Aren’t you worried about being pissed off to death by that simple-minded and chatty barbarian who always rolls his eyes at you?”

Lin Xun smiled and patted Xiao Qinghe on the shoulder.

In the end, Xiao Qinghe had to agree to take A’lu with them across the Star Chess Sea.

As soon as they touched the sea surface, a bizarre scene happened.

The sky and earth seemed to be turned upside down, and the stars seemed to be moving. The scenery around them suddenly changed. Silvery stars descended from the sky, landing on the islands on the sea.

The countless islands produced bright and dreamy starry light as though awakening from a deep slumber.

Everywhere was silvery starlight flowing between the vast starry sky and sea. It felt like a beautiful illusion.

Xiao Qinghe’s expression turned solemn. He quickly took out the secret map that was covered with complicated and obscure runes and carefully figured out their location.

After a while, he suddenly raised his head and sped towards an island in the distance.

Lin Xun and A’lu quickly followed him.

The Star Chess Sea was akin to a mysterious chessboard of heaven and earth. Even a Saint could lose their bearings once they wandered into it.

However, they didn’t run into any problems with Xiao Qinghe leading the way.

Lin Xun noticed that the deeper they went, the more islands there were in the sea. They dotted the sea like chess pieces with starry light circulating them.

It felt as though they had come to the depths of a vast starry sky. It was impossible to distinguish between the north, east, west and south directions, let alone the way that they came from.

Lin Xun fell into a dazed state. He seemed to see an old man sitting above the vast sea. Countless stars gathered and orbited above his head...sprinkling down billion rays of silvery starlight.

Additionally, his body resembled a black hole, engulfing the starlight that endlessly poured down from above...

At this moment, only the old man seemed to be left in this world. He looked as majestic as a supreme ruler from ancient times as he sat between heaven and earth, swallowing the sky full of stars!

Inexplicably, Lin Xun felt his chest burning. His Origin Aeth Artery was silently releasing great dao power and sending it into his mind-sea.

Suddenly, an obscure and mysterious array appeared in Lin Xun’s mind.

This array was based on the Zhoutian Star Dipper, consisting of three hundred and sixty-five Large Zhongtian Star Dipper Diagrams and fourteen thousand and eight hundred small Zhongtian Star Dipper Diagrams.

The array was like a universe of countless bright stars orbiting along different and complicated trajectories.

The Zhoutian Star Dipper Saint Array!

It was a mysterious and earthshaking Saint array inheritance. All its mysteries and secrets gathered in the mind-sea before transforming into a Zhoutian Star Dipper Diagram!

Lin Xun thought that the bizarre scene was just a dream.

Could the Star Chess Sea be formed by a Zhoutian Star Dipper Array?

The old man who sat in the void swallowing up the Zhoutian Star Dipper seemed to be the Saint figure who ran wildly in the depths of Complete Void!

“Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer, Origin Aeth Artery, Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer, Star Chess Sea, Zhoutian Star Dipper Array...there seems to be a wonderful connection between them all...

“It was only because of the Origin Aeth Artery that I managed to comprehend the Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer at the Dao Lantern Festival and saw the process of a Saint running wildly in the depths of the Complete Void.

“It was also because of the Origin Aeth Artery that I obtained the inheritance secret of the Zhoutian Star Dipper Array in the Star Chess Sea...”

A question suddenly came to Lin Xun’s mind. How many secrets are hidden in my innate talent, Grand Abyss Heaven Devour, that I don’t know about?

“Lin Xun!” Xiao Qinghe’s voice jolted Lin Xun out of his dazed state and thoughts.

Lin Xun looked up to see Xiao Qinghe and A’lu staring at him as if they were looking at a monster.
