Chapter 706: Talent Transformation



This was power!

Lin Xun had single-handedly attacked Tiger Canyon twice, creating rivers of blood and inflicting heavy casualties on the Brute experts stationed there.

Today, he had even killed a Half-Step King with a single arrow.

Due to these circumstances, despite suspecting that Lin Xun was in a vulnerable state and was only putting on a strong front, no one dared to be the first to test their suspicions.

Lin Xun was deeply anxious because he knew that he was indeed completely spent.

Eh?

While Lin Xun was desperately absorbing energy from a high-grade aeth crystal, a mysterious and peculiar heat flow suddenly emerged from his four heart acupuncture points and spread to his entire body.

In an instant, his originally depleted reserves recovered somewhat as if rain was nourishing a dried-up body, causing him to feel a surge of energy.

This is…

The power of my Origin Aeth Artery!

Lin Xun’s heart violently shuddered. He could clearly sense the Origin Aeth Artery glowing as mysterious hot energy flowed from it as if it had awakened.

Such a thing had never happened before.

Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer…

Only blossomed in the face of adversity!

“Could pushing myself to the limit be the secret to awakening its power?” A sliver of comprehension dawned upon Lin Xun.

The Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer was an extremely rare first-class talent even in the ancient era, and there were barely any rumors or records about it.

Because it was far too rare!

There was no doubt that the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer possessed unimaginable secrets. Otherwise, why would a peerless individual like Yun Qingbai from the Omega Sword Sect have coveted and eventually stolen the Origin Aeth Artery from Lin Xun when he was a baby?

At the present, Yun Qingbai had already stepped onto the legendary perfect dao path by borrowing the powers of the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer and was known as the number one sword cultivator among his generation in the Ancient Wastelands Domain. Moreover, he was also said to be invincible under the Life Death King Stage!

From this, it was easy to see how terrifying the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer was.

As for Lin Xun, he was still in the process of learning about the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer and was still unable to wield the powers of the talent he had been born with.

This was why he had been surprised and elated when he noticed the unusual activity of his Origin Aeth Artery.

Regardless of what it was, the fact was that his exhausted body was recovering at an astonishing speed due to it!

Unfortunately, he was hard-pressed for time!

Lin Xun sorely wished he could sit down and try to better understand the peculiar change that was occurring. However, he had no choice but to resist the urge to do so because he was surrounded by the enemy and a battle might erupt at any moment.

Swish!

A streak of light suddenly broke the deadlock. Something gleamed icily as it flowed across the air and stabbed at Lin Xun’s throat.

It was a white bone flying sword!

“You’re asking for death!”

Icy light blossomed in Lin Xun’s eyes as he suddenly pulled back the No-Nonsense Bow. The terrifying pressure that pulsed from the bow instantly pulverized the white bone flying sword, turning it into specks of light that faded into the sky.

Beng!

At the same time, an aeth arrow shot toward one of the experts at an inconceivable speed.

The target was an Enlightened Spirit expert who had finally run out of patience earlier and sent out the flying sword to gauge Lin Xun’s state.

However, he never imagined that Lin Xun’s counterattack would be so ferocious and domineering!

“Blast it!”

He cursed in anger as he hurriedly dodged to the side. Unfortunately, he was a split second too slow and the arrow blew apart his arm, sending blood and flesh flying as he roared in pain like a wild animal.

Everyone was shaken. This time, an Enlightened Spirit expert was injured. It was a result that made the Brute experts’ expressions change again.

Was he actually not bluffing?

Meanwhile, Lin Xun inwardly sighed. The little energy he recovered had been consumed after shooting the arrow.

The only silver lining was that his Origin Aeth Artery was still producing a mysterious hot flow that continuously replenished his power.

“I refuse to believe that he can’t be beaten! We’ll attack together. Regardless of the cost, we will destroy him today!”

After a brief struggle, Feng Kun released an angry roar. He decided that they had to kill Lin Xun no matter the sacrifices.

The atmosphere immediately grew increasingly tense.

Although it might have seemed slow, barely any time had passed since the beginning of the deadlock. Only Lin Xun could understand the danger and urgency he had experienced within these brief few moments.

Upon seeing that the enemy had finally cast aside their wariness and hesitation, Lin Xun inwardly sighed. He could only grit his teeth and steel himself for battle.

Although the power provided by the Origin Aeth Artery could not immediately return him to peak condition, the continuous recovery gave Lin Xun enough strength to fight.

However…it was going to be a very tough battle!

Rumble~

Before the battle could erupt, however, a deafening rumble suddenly sounded from afar.

A pitch-black ship that spanned over ten thousand feet in length appeared from the horizon, smashing through the clouds like a floating continent as it rapidly approached.

Lin Xun breathed a sigh of relief. “They’re finally here, looks like I didn’t save you guys in vain…”

An uproar erupted on the Brute side.

“It’s the human empire’s large-scale battleship!”

“My god, the empire’s cultivator army is coming…”

Everyone’s expressions changed. That was the Ziyao Empire’s large-scale battleship. Whenever one of them was dispatched, a giant battle would surely follow.

As Brutes who had warred against the empire for several thousand years, they were well aware that the appearance of a large-scale battleship meant that at least one of the bigshots from the empire had also been dispatched!

“Damnit!”

Feng Kun’s, Jin Wu’s, and the other Enlightened Spirit experts’ expressions sank. Never in their wildest dreams would they have imagined that the reinforcements from the empire would arrive at this moment. Moreover, the scale of the reinforcements also far exceeded their expectation.

“We’ll fight them!”

Feng Kun refused to back down. If they didn’t kill Lin Xun and seize the bow and arrow, there would be unimaginably dire consequences in the future.

However, almost immediately after he said this, an icy snort sounded from the sky, “Fight? I do want to see what you guys have to fight with!”

The powerful and domineering voice boomed across the sky, followed by a horrifying pressure that caused the Brute experts to stiffen and feel as if they were suddenly transported to an ice cave.

A Life Death Stage King!

Even Feng Kun’s, Jin Wu’s, and the other top experts’ hearts turned cold as their eyes bulged from their sockets in horror. They knew that it was already over.

Feng Kun furiously roared, “Scatter!”

There was actually no need for him to speak. When everyone realized that a Life Death Stage King and a large-scale battleship were approaching, they immediately lost their will to fight and fled in a panic.

Lin Xun relaxed as exhaustion swiftly washed over his body.

The battle had been filled with danger, and a single misstep would have likely ended in his death. Fortunately, it was all over now.

“I didn’t think that you’d still be alive, kid. What a tenacious little fellow!”

Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky and appeared in front of Lin Xun. His mighty figure walked with the dignity of a dragon, and his hair and beard were ink-black. Each time he blinked, a terrifying and domineering pressure would spread.

It was the 7th Army Camp Top General, Zhangsun Lie!

However, Lin Xun was surprised that Zhangsun Lie did not go after the fleeing Brute experts.

Instead, he was glaring at Lin Xun with a livid expression.

“Remember this well. You’d better not cause me any more trouble on Blood Kill Battlefield in the future. I might have managed to save you this time, but the next time you’re in trouble, no one will help you collect your remains, let alone save you!”

Without any regard for Lin Xun’s feelings, Zhangsun Lie immediately unleashed a barrage of scolding. After which, he turned around and left without caring if Lin Xun had listened to any of it.

Lin Xun was stunned. This general had quite a temper…

“Young Master Lin, it’s great that you’re still alive!”

In the distance, Lu Wenting rushed over while sweating profusely. After confirming that Lin Xun hadn’t lost any limbs, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Soon after, he resentfully said, “Young Master Lin, don’t ever take such risks next time. If something happens to you, I won’t be able to explain to the General.”

Lin Xun acknowledged and smiled faintly, “I didn’t expect that there would be so many powerful Brute experts in Tiger Canyon. It was truly strange. However, you’re also to blame because you were the one who arranged this mission for me.”

Lu Wenting immediately became awkward and embarrassedly said, “It’s very common for such unexpected developments to occur in the Blood Kill Battlefield.”

“Regardless, I’ve still troubled Lord Lu.” Lin Xun cupped his hands together.

Lu Wenting sighed and said, “Ugh, I will be happy as long as Young Master doesn’t risk his life like today in the future.”

Lin Xun chuckled and did not comment.

In the distance, the battleship landed and the empire cultivators swiftly emerged. When they arrived, they were immediately overwhelmed by shock.

They had seen countless Brute expert corpses along the way. Some had been blown apart while others were still mostly intact and there was blood everywhere, creating a grisly scene.

Tiger Canyon was also a mess. Mountains had been reduced to rubble, the ground was cracked, and there were craters and bodies everywhere. The place was also covered in marks left by arrows and dao qi.

They nearly did not dare to believe that a single youngster had caused all of this destruction and carnage!

“My god! That’s the blood of a Half-Step King expert! Could a Half-Step King expert have coughed blood here?”

A veteran Cyclic Derivation expert suddenly cried out in astonishment when he discovered Man Jiu’s remains.

His words immediately caused a great commotion. Everyone’s gazes changed when they looked at Lin Xun again, now filled with respect and disbelief.

“So many battle spoils!”

It was not long before even the three large sacks left behind by Lin Xun at the canyon’s entrance were discovered. The bloody battle spoils within them made the empire cultivators’ eyes bulge in shock.

This youngster…is way too savage…

By this time, Lin Xun had already boarded the battleship.

There was no longer anything that interested him here. Moreover, he urgently needed to recover and did not wish to waste any more time in Tiger Canyon.

As for the battle spoils…

With Quartermaster Lu Wenting around, no one would dare to even think about stealing it.
