The Prodigies War

Chapter 1226 Three Lives Rock

Chapter 1226 Three Lives Rock

It was a field of nothing but broken walls.

A world-shattering battle had probably taken place here a long time ago, reducing it to a ruin that remained until this day.

Standing alone above the ruins was a black palace shrouded in a pale aura.

The palace wasn’t tall, but it exuded the grand and vast might of something that had been immovable since the beginning of time.

This was undoubtedly the Palace of Divine Underworld!

Around the time Lin Xun reached the ruin, scattered cultivators also arrived one after another.

Clearly, they had survived the calamity just like him and were few in numbers.

The door to the Palace of Divine Underworld had opened, revealing a darkness so thick that it was impossible to see what was going on behind.

But this could not stop the cultivators from entering because inside the palace sealed a heaven-defying ancient fortune!

They knew the utmost of dangers lurked within, but who could give up on this opportunity?

Not to mention that all of the cultivators who had been able to survive and travel all the way here were extraordinary characters!

Quite a few people who noticed Lin Xun became wary.

The fact that he just stood there and didn’t enter the Palace of Divine Underworld confused and put them on alert.

But quickly, this no longer mattered as they leaped into the palace.

“How come Toady and the others haven’t arrived? Could it be that they’ve all entered this palace before I came?” wondered Lin Xun. He had waited for a long time without any signs of his three companions.

After some pondering, he walked to a piece of rock and used his finger to carve a message on it. Then, he inserted it into the ground next to the palace.

Finally, he took a deep breath and stepped into the Palace of Divine Underworld.

The place inside the main door was dark, and one could not see their own fingers.

However, one could feel that they had entered a different world. It was gloomy with ruins of pavilions, buildings, altars, corridors, herb gardens, beast parks, flower yards,…

Overwhelmingly, scars of battles could be seen everywhere. There were palm prints, weapon marks, and dried blood stains which had survived the erosion of countless years.

Lin Xun swept his eyes around, but before he had time to observe carefully, a sharp wind approached!

Whoosh!

This was a shuttle-shaped flying blade, pitch-black in color and incredibly fast like a black lightning bolt.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. With a snap of his finger, the flying blade exploded into nothingness.

But to his surprise, in this instant, a war blade, a white jade tripod, and a divine sword came at him from different directions!

The war blade sliced through the air, silky smooth with dao light flowing along it. The treasured tripod shone with brilliant totems, giving off an oppressing might. The divine sword displayed a marvelous interpretation of a sword art, and its sharpness was matchless.

The three sudden attacks worked seamlessly together, blocking off all of Lin Xun’s avenues of retreat!

Without a doubt, there was more than one opponent, and they were extremely powerful and well coordinated.

Unfortunately, they had underestimated Lin Xun!

He didn’t dodge and instead grabbed the war blade with his bare hand.

As a surge of energy burst out from his hand, the sword shattered. While the blade wasn’t a Supreme King Weapon, it was not far off from one, yet it was broken so easily in his grasp.

In the darkness, an alarmed cry rang out, and a blurry figure quickly retreated.

Meanwhile, the other two attacks had approached Lin Xun. Around him, streams of radiant dao light flowed and transformed into a series of ‘Tribulation’ words. With a boom, the words spread in all directions.

The white jade tripod was instantly suppressed. It emitted an ear-piercing wail before bursting into a rain of light.

Following its footsteps was the divine sword, breaking inch by inch!

The Tribulation words didn’t stop there. They kept zooming through the air with an unstoppable momentum.

Seeing this, the faces of the cultivators hiding in the shadows changed drastically. Their figures flickered as they rapidly retreated into the distance, realizing that they had chosen a tough nut to crack!

Lin Xun’s eyes were like electricity as he made a grabbing motion and deployed Baxia Imprisonment.

“Damn it!”

A gray-robed youth suddenly stagnated like a bug stuck in a spider web. Unable to break free, he screamed in anger and shock.

The next moment, he exploded with a poof into a rain of blood, dead on the spot.

Now that the Baxia Imprisonment had the momentum of ‘transforming into a dragon,’ its power had more than doubled, and killing ordinary opponents needed barely any effort.

“Not good!”

When the three figures fleeing in other directions saw the bloody scene, shivers ran up their spines. They were so frightened that their souls almost flew out.

They had previously lain in wait here, and with their tacit cooperation and powerful combat ability, they had ambushed and killed many people to obtain the spoils of war.

Never had they imagined that they would fail this time!

The other party was only one person, but he was terrifyingly powerful. Just a simple movement of his hand broke their sneak attacks and killed their companion!

“Run!”

“Damn it!”

In the midst of the shouts, they rushed in different directions at astonishing speeds that belonged to the level of Supreme Kings.

Unfortunately, they still weren’t fast enough in Lin Xun’s eyes.

Back in the Underworld River Forbidden Zone, he had already been strong enough to easily kill Wu Shanlin and even take down Wu Lingdao who had stepped into the first longevity tribulation King stage.

After his strength had been refined even further during the three thousand duels in the Thundering Violet Bamboo Forest, it was no exaggeration to say that Supreme Kings were no longer his match.

In a flash, Lin Xun had thrown three punches through the air.

Each punch was imprinted with his unique aura and law, able to shake the heavens and move the earth, powerful and limitless.

This was the martial power of the ‘my own law’ stage!

Three explosions successively resounded, and the three fleeing figures exploded like flies being swatted to death.

It was a crushing defeat for them and an easy victory for Lin Xun!

“A bunch of trash. Ambushing people with that kind of ability? Seeking death.” Lin Xun had a look of contempt on his face.

He then scanned the surroundings and traveled deeper into the darkness.

“Demon God Lin is even more unreasonably strong now…”

As soon as Lin Xun left, a cultivator who had just entered the Place of Divine Underworld heaved a sigh of relief. The scene he had just witnessed made his scalp go numb.

Since ancient times, Supreme Kings were rare and extremely powerful existences. But facing Lin Xun, they were as fragile as tissue paper!

……

The Palace of Divine Underworld was clearly a world of its own, extremely large with ancient buildings lined up. However, most of them had crumbled down for an unknown number of years.

Lin Xun traveled on without stopping.

Many cultivators had entered before he had even arrived, so there was no doubt that anything valuable along the way had already been snatched up.

A dried up lotus pond appeared in Lin Xun’s vision. In front of it stood a broken stone tablet that had the words ‘past life’ carved on it.

He was startled. Legend had it that in the Underworld, there was a ‘Pool of Past Life’ that transcended the souls of the dead and carried them to the next life!

Unfortunately, other than this stone tablet, there was nothing noteworthy.

Continuing on, Lin Xun came across bizarre and frightening words one after another.

In front of a dilapidated palace, there was a plaque with the name ‘Underworld Judgement Division’ written on it.

In a collapsed ancient temple, there was a broken stele inscribed with ‘The six paths are not empty.’

On top of that, there were also signs for the Degradation Ground, Gathering Field, Soul Transferring Platform, Underworld River, and so on.

Each name had a shocking origin and legend, making it feel like one had really arrived at the netherworld!

However, everything had crumbled into ruins.

From what Lin Xun had seen along the way, he judged that a horrifying war had occurred in this place a long time ago since the traces of battle were still visible in every part of the ruins.

“Scram!”

A loud shout suddenly echoed in the distance, along with the noises of fierce fighting.

Alarmed, Lin Xun spread his spirit sense and saw that thousands of feet away, there was a black stone platform as big as a hill, on which a group of people were fighting.

Rumble!

Blinding dao lights erupted, looking extremely dangerous.

It was clear that they were fighting over the control of the black platform, as if it held some kind of fortune that everyone desired.

Lin Xun quietly approached and carefully observed only to find unfamiliar faces. None of his friends were there.

The black stone platform was ninety feet high and shaped like an altar. Its surface was imprinted with old pictures of yaksha on patrol, a night parade of spirits, ghost flames illuminating the air, a river of blood…

Each stone carving was oozing with an eerie aura.

In front of the hill-sized platform, there was a collapsed stone monument, the fuzzy words on which could still be recognized to be ‘There Lives Rock!’

The three lives, in layman’s terms, were the past life, the present life, and the future life, representing one’s past, present, and future.

Obviously, the huge black stone platform was the so-called ‘Three Lives Rock.’

Hmm?

Lin Xun soon noticed there was an ancient scripture engraved on the surface on the top of the Three Lives Rock!

Miraculously, the ancient scripture seemed to be moving. The dense words were twisting like earthworms and flickering with an obscure luster.

Those Supreme Kings were certainly fighting for this scripture!

But the scripture was engraved on the ground, obviously impossible to be taken away.

That meant the battle was all about who would take control of the Three Lives Rock and thereby could study the ancient scripture.

Lin Xun spread his spirit sense all over the vicinity, and his heart jumped when he detected quite many concealed auras.

Obviously, there were other cultivators in the dark keeping a close watch on the situation!

“Dantai Liu, your Great One Sect has already seized so many fortunes, and you still want this ancient scripture? Your appetite is unsightly!” someone roared in the midst of fighting.

Great One Sect?

Lin Xun looked over and saw a young man in bright-yellow python robe smile calmly as he said, “The fight for fortunes is based on one’s strength. Since I’m stronger, why can’t I take over this place?”

In his voice was an undisguised arrogance.
