The Prodigies War

Chapter 1157 Silent and Unmoving

Chapter 1157 Silent and Unmoving

To counterattack, Lin Xun had to fully recover from his dao injury before the Four Divisions King Array was broken.

Otherwise, only death awaited him!

However, Lin Xun didn't fret or even think about the possibility of being killed.

As the saying went, composure was always needed in major events. He had experienced countless life-or-death situations over the years. Hence, it was naturally impossible for him to be defeated by the mere thought of the potential danger before him.

A dao injury was akin to a crack on chinaware.

Hence, it wasn’t too difficult to repair.

However, it was insanely difficult to restore it to its original complete and perfect state!

Some time ago, Lin Xun had fallen into a state of complete and selfless emptiness, through which he finally found his own unique path.

At that point, all he lacked was an opportunity to condense a Dao Seed before he could attempt to attack the Supreme King stage.

However, the appearance of a dao injury had now disrupted his plans!

He knew that even after repairing the dao injury, it would leave behind slight, almost unnoticeable problems that would likely become fatal flaws when he attempted to condense his Dao Seed in the future.

This was the true damage caused by Miao Cen. A single sword qi strike that contained King Dao Power had inflicted the worst possible injury on Lin Xun!

How could he not hate her for that?

"There can be no rebuilding without first destroying everything. Since it has already happened, I might as well reconstruct my cultivation!"

Lin Xun made his decision.

There was no time to hesitate. Outside, the Four Divisions King Array was being continuously attacked and deciphered.

Every second was crucial!

"Back then, I had reconstructed my cultivation in the Deva Secret Domain inside the Return Dominion. Subsequently, I reconstructed my cultivation again when I advanced to the Cyclic Derivation stage...

"This time, I’ve already filled all the deficiencies in my cultivation and succeeded in finding my own path. Hence, I would have had to reconstruct my cultivation regardless of whether I got injured!"

Lin Xun emptied his mind, discarding all other thoughts as he began the undertaking.

Since the cracked chinaware could not be restored to its original state, he would break it and use all of his technique and understanding to create an even more perfect masterpiece!

Bang!

In the next moment, the qi around Lin Xun seemed to burst like a balloon. His aura abruptly weakened to the extreme while his skin and hair became dull and sickly.

It was as if he had aged many years in an instant.

It was the destruction of one’s own cultivation!

"Eh?"

In the distance, Little Silver was startled. When he saw what was happening, his expression changed drastically, ''Has Master lost his reasoning and is now walking down the wrong path?"

He was extremely worried but didn’t dare to stop his master, afraid that any disturbance might cause his master to fall into a place of no return.

After all, a cultivation tribulation needed to be overcome by oneself!

However, Little Silver was unaware that Lin Xun was voluntarily destroying his cultivation in order to reconstruct it.

……

Outside the Four Divisions King Array, the explosions and bursts of blinding light were still going at full force.

The various orthodoxies had already cycled through several batches of cultivators while they continued to attack the array in an attempt to exhaust its power.

The reason for this was simple. Since a King-level array required power to operate, the array’s power would naturally decline when the power source was eventually used up.

At the same time, a group of rune masters was using array disks, tortoise shells, and other rune-related artifacts to deduce the essence of the Four Divisions Array in order to neutralize it!

There was also an even bigger group of cultivators waiting in the distance.

However, their expressions were tinged with impatience and anxiety.

An entire day had already passed since they started attacking the array. However, there was still little result and almost no progress. How could they not feel anxious due to this?

The longer it took, the greater the possibility of Demon God Lin recovering!

"What a bunch of useless trash!"

A furious shout rang out from outside Burning Immortal Ancient City. The King experts who were unable to enter the city were clearly also feeling frustrated and were venting their dissatisfaction.

In front of the array, the experts from the various factions felt disgraced and embarrassed.

A seriously injured cultivator was clearly right in front of their eyes. However, they were unable to kill him because of a single array.

It was a torturous feeling!

Countless cultivators were also watching further in the distance.

These were unaffiliated cultivators as well as experts from smaller factions. Deep down, they looked forward to Demon God Lin surviving so he could eventually display his might.

It was because, for some time now, the powerful factions had been controlling Burning Immortal Ancient City and made anyone who wanted to enter the city pay an entry fee. This left the other cultivators inwardly resentful and aggrieved.

If Demon God Lin survived, he would definitely take revenge and start a massacre. When that happened, the various great factions would suffer!

Therefore, they hoped that Lin Xun would survive!

Aside from these more common-born cultivators, there were also other cultivators from great factions who were watching but not participating in the operation against Lin Xun.

It wasn’t because they were afraid but they had no good reason to take part since they had no grievances with Lin Xun.

Demon God Lin’s survival might threaten them, but that was the reality of competition. It would always be present, and they weren’t afraid anyway.

Demon God Lin’s death was also none of their concern since it wouldn’t affect their future activities either.

As for helping him...

That was absolutely impossible!

The act of aiding him would be akin to going against the other great factions. It would simply implicate them, and only a fool would do such a thankless thing.

In short, Lin Xun’s situation affected countless cultivators, causing his situation to become the focal point of Burning Immortal Ancient City.

Some hoped he would survive, while others couldn't wait for him to die. There were also people who sat on the sidelines and were purely watching for entertainment.

However, one thing was certain.

No one would choose to help Lin Xun at this time!

……

Two days soon passed.

The King-level array was still in operation, making the various great factions feel as if they weren’t making any progress and causing their expressions to turn increasingly ugly.

The third day quickly passed as well.

At last, the King-level array began to show a visible hint of weakening, which reinvigorated the great factions.

Inside the array, Little Silver frowned a little.

There wasn’t much aeth essence left to power the Four Divisions King Array. The remaining aeth essences needed to be used sparingly, but even then, it would at most last for three more days!

Presently, Lin Xun's aura was silent as if he were a statue. Only the slight breathing noises he made proved that he was still alive.

"I don’t know when Master will awaken. However, no matter what happens, I’ll fight till the end even if I have to give up my life!" Little Silver took a deep breath as a resolved look emerged between his brows.

He was a descendant of the God Devourer Insect Lineage. Although he was incredibly arrogant, once he recognized a Master, that person would never change!

Moreover, it would have been impossible for him to evolve so quickly without Lin Xun.

On the fourth day.

The Four Divisions King Array was growing weaker and weaker.

The cultivators from the great factions also grew increasingly expectant. However, they were also growing increasingly anxious. It had already been four days, how much had Demon God Lin recovered?

The fifth day.

Everyone was becoming extremely anxious.

The King-level array was clearly faltering!

But had Demon God Lin recovered?

Urgh!

Amidst the stifling silence, a rune master violently coughed out a large mouthful of blood, scaring several people in the vicinity. However, he began to happily dance around as he laughed in an almost maniacal manner, "The solution is out, the solution is out!"

It was a sentence that made everyone’s heads jerk up.

"Is it over..."

The expressions of the cultivators secretly rooting for Lin Xun’s recovery abruptly changed as sorrow welled up in their hearts.

"It's finally coming to an end."

The neutral experts breathed a sigh of relief. They were finally about to be released from the torturous waiting that had slowly whittled away at their patience.

With an end finally in sight, they felt their spirits lift a little.

The cultivators who were besieging the array could no longer hold back their joy and cheered. Some of them were even on the verge of tears.

The war of attrition had been truly agonizing for all of them.

Rumble!

Under the guidance of the rune master, a group of cultivators began to tear down the array.

The effect was very visible.

The already unstable Four Divisions King Array began to crumble under their efforts as the array runes rapidly dimmed.

"Good! Great! Excellent! "

The Golden Crow Lineage, Mysterious Metropolis Sect, Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain, Sea Soul Clan, and Moon Worshipper Sect grew excited as raging killing intent began burning in their eyes.

Being stuck here for five days had built up a lot of negative emotions within them which now needed to be released.

"I will make him die by a thousand cuts and burn even his bones to ashes!"

A Golden Crow flapped its golden wings as it hissed through gritted teeth, ready to strike the moment the array was destroyed.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Let me slowly torture him first so he can experience what it’s like to beg for the sweet release of death!"

An eerily sinister light shone from Lu Chuan’s eyes.

Every single gaze in the area was fixed on the array, closely watching with bated breaths.

Boom!

In the end, the Four Divisions King Array shattered like glass and collapsed, revealing the courtyard underneath.

It was half a day earlier than Little Silver had estimated!

However, he didn’t panic or retreat. His expression was calm and resolved as endless killing intent flowed from his handsome face.

He soundlessly drew the soul sword on his back.

Behind him, Lin Xun was still in a state of meditation. He had not awakened throughout the entire affair and was still unaware of what was happening...

However, none of this mattered anymore.

Little Silver only knew that he would stand guard till he died!

"Hahaha, look everyone, Demon God Lin is still meditating and hasn’t woken up even after such a big disturbance!"

Someone laughed maniacally.

"I thought he would have at least recovered somewhat, but it turns out that his injuries were more serious than we thought!"

Relieved, the other great faction experts began to relax while gazing at Lin Xun as if he was already dead.

"How can this be..."

In the distance, countless cultivators widened their eyes, unable to believe that Demon God Lin had failed to recover after five whole days.

Could he have been doomed from the start?

"Attack!"

A Golden Crow Lineage expert rushed out, unable to hold back any longer. He flew through the air like a golden thunderbolt, aiming his foot at Lin Xun’s head.

It was a fearless attack that was clearly intent on humiliating the opponent!
