The other half was withered like charcoal, as though it was a piece of wood burned by lightning and devoid of life force.

The two were in complete contrast to each other. One half was full of vitality and the other was lifeless, just like the coexistence of ups and downs, and life and death.

As it spread down from the ancient silver tree, an incomparably terrifying aura also permeated the air, causing the world to whimper from the unbearable pressure.

However, the aura carefully avoided the top of the mountain for fear of disturbing something.

Withered Vine Old Monster!

Lin Xun identified the person who appeared straight away.

According to the mysterious water python and the pig monster, he was a half-step king and regarded as the number one monster in Ziniu Mountain.

Ever since the ancient array of Fallen Star Peak was unearthed, Withered Vine Old Monster had occupied the area and killed anyone who dared to come near. He was unquestionably a ruthless character.

Many experts hiding in the dark immediately focussed their attention on this side when they sensed movements from Withered Vine Old Monster.

“As expected, that old monster won’t tolerate anyone approaching the top of the mountain. It has become his territory and anyone who approaches it will be killed.”

“It doesn’t look good for the youngster!”

“Young people are too reckless. Did he not think about why so many experts are waiting in the shadows and have not dared to get near the mountain peak?”

“Since ancient times, many geniuses have died young. It seems that this kid also can’t escape that fate.”

Some people sighed emotionally, some gloated, and some pitied Lin Xun.

He was facing Withered Vine Old Monster, a half-step king!

Not even Cyclic Derivation cultivators would be able to defeat him, let alone someone at the Heaven Ascension Stage!

“Little friend, what do you say?” Withered Vine Old Monster approached Lin Xun, revealing his strange face.

Half of his skin was as delicate and smooth as a newborn’s, while the other half was wrinkly and lifeless. Even his eyes were of two completely different states. His bizarre appearance sent a spine-chilling sensation down everyone’s back.

“This great opportunity was born from heaven and earth. You don’t own it. If you want it, you have to get it yourself. You are not qualified to order me about,” Lin Xun said emotionlessly, maintaining a calm appearance.

His words surprised all the experts hiding in the shadows. They never thought that Lin Xun could still be so calm and strong at such a time.

Withered Vine Old Monster clearly looked taken aback. He also didn’t expect to see such courage in a teenager at the Heaven Ascension Stage.

Immediately, his face darkened. “I was going to bestow the fortune on you, but instead of being grateful, you spoke so rudely to me. Do you want to die?”

Lin Xun smiled, his dark eyes shining with a cold light, “You are just a vine monster and haven’t even set foot onto the Life Death Stage. How dare you call yourself a king and try to threaten me?”

Si!

Many cultivators gasped, wondering if Lin Xun had gone crazy. Although a half-step king was not a true Life Death Stage King, they could look down on all cultivators below the king stage.

However, Lin Xun seemed to think that half-step kings were nothing special. How could they not be shocked?

Withered Vine Old Monster narrowed his eyes, while terrifying murderous intent rushed forth from him and swept across the audience like a torrent.

“Kid, I admire your courage so I will give you one last chance to pick that precious medicinal plant for me. If you do that I can let you die with dignity.” As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the mysterious medicinal plant that was shaped like a fire phoenix.

He wanted Lin Xun to risk his life!

Everyone knew that great dangers surrounded the mysterious medicinal plant since it was connected to the restraining power of the ancient formation on the top of the peak. One would no doubt have to face a tragic fate if they rashly removed the plant.

“Okay.” To everyone’s surprise, Lin Xun readily agreed.

All the experts hiding in the dark thought they heard it wrong. That kid acted so strong and tough just now, so why did he suddenly change his mind?

Could he have been intimidated by the power of Withered Vine Old Monster?

“Hmph, so you are also afraid of death. If so, then quickly do it!” Withered Vine Old Monster said with disdain.

He thought that Lin Xun was a sheep in wolf’s clothing after his calm and tough act.

“Okay, since you’re in such a hurry I will fulfill your wish.” Lin Xun nodded and stepped forwards towards the mysterious medicinal plant.

“Hurry? Fulfill my wish?” Withered Vine Old Monster lowered his brows, finding his choice of words a little strange.

The next moment, his expression dramatically changed and he roared in anger, “Stop—!”

A sparkling snow-white blade flashed out from Lin Xun’s body at an incredible speed, slashing towards the medicinal plant.

So fast!

No one thought that Lin Xun would do something so ruthless as destroying the medicinal plant after he promised to pick the plant.

Everyone’s eyes almost popped out.

Withered Vine Old Monster was so caught off guard that he couldn’t do anything in time.

Boom!

Following an earthshaking rumble, the terrifying restraining force around the medicinal plant suddenly rushed forth, evolved into mysterious, cryptic runes, and violently blasted the broken blade away.

Lin Xun was also affected. His blood and qi tumbled frantically within his body, and he almost coughed up blood from the impact.

However, he already expected that and made preparations. The moment he launched the blow, he moved with lightning speed and steered the Grand Universe Ark with all his strength away from the Fallen Star Peak.

He knew that it was impossible to destroy the medicinal plant with his current powers. He only launched the blow to pass the buck to Withered Vine Old Monster.

Rumble!

Sure enough, the restraining power was immediately set off. Thousands of mysterious rune symbols descended, each one as bright as a silver star shining in the night and releasing a monstrous oppressive force.

That force shook the entire Fallen Star Peak.

Withered Vine Old Monster trembled all over, livid with rage. He unleashed a deafening roar before he turned around and fled.

That restraining power was too terrifying. Once it exploded, it could wipe out the world. Having occupied the area for a good while, Withered Vine Old Monster had personally witnessed the terror of the restraining power, and the thought of it still sent a chill to his heart.

So, he didn’t dare to dither and bolted right away.

“Damn it, quickly run!”

“Damn that kid! He wants to kill us all!”

“He wants to use the restraining power of the ancient formation to deal with the old monster. But that’s a risky move. He doesn’t know how terrifying the restraining power of the ancient formation actually is!”

The experts hiding around Fallen Star Peak went into a panic and bolted like frightened hares.

Some even yelled, cursed and flew into a rage, thinking that Lin Xu had basically ruined everything for them with his blow.

They only managed to occupy a place on Fallen Star Peak after much difficulty, hoping to use that to gain an upper hand when the opportunity broke out.

But all the favorable conditions they had seized were destroyed by Lin Xun!

Rumble!

The restraining power continued to erupt, and the sacred silvery light continued to transform into obscure rune symbols and pour down from the mountain peak like a dormant volcano stirred to life after thousands of years.

The power of destruction seemed capable of obliterating the world.

It was as though a hornet’s nest had been agitated.

Bang!

Although Withered Vine Old Monster was already running at full speed, an obscure silver-white rune symbol still struck him and smashed a bloody hole into his thick torso.

He screamed in agony. His bloodshot eyes reflected his utmost hatred and anger. He felt extremely humiliated after being tricked by a junior of the human race and suffering such a huge loss.

The other experts quickened their speed when they saw that even someone as strong as Withered Vine Old Monster failed to withstand the restraining power.

The scene was utter chaos. The pig monster and Xia Xiaochong, who were hiding in the distance, were struck dumb. They couldn’t understand why there was such a shocking change.

“Big Brother Lin Xun, will he be okay?” Xia Xiaochong’s innocent face scrunched up with worry.

“It’s better if he’s dead!” The pig monster was still seething after getting beaten by Lin Xun. He couldn’t wait for an accident to happen to Lin Xun.

Immediately, he changed his tone and comforted Xia Xiaochong in a warm and kind voice, “Little lady, don’t be too upset. Even if the kid is dead, I will still be around for you. I will treat you much better, and I will not let you suffer.”

Xia Xiaochong glared at him. “How dare you curse Brother Lin Xun?! When he comes back, he is going to make a pig feast out of you!”

The pig monster shuddered and his face paled. He was indeed worried about that happening. As the saying went, a loose tongue might cause a lot of trouble. He had already experienced that once before from Lin Xun.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was in the midst of his own trouble. Although he was operating the Grand Universe Ark to its full speed, an obscure restraining force suppressed it as soon as he reached the high altitude like he was stuck in a quagmire.

Worst of all, the restraining power that erupted from Fallen Star Peak was madly going after him like it had its own consciousness.

He just wanted to pass the buck to Withered Vine Old Monster, but he never thought that he would also be swept into the chaos.

If he had known earlier, then he would have just used the No-Nonsense Bow and Biluo Arrow and he wouldn’t be in such a crisis, right?

“Look, that kid’s treasure ship has been suppressed! Hahaha, this is karma!”

“He basically shot himself in the foot!”

Many experts who had escaped were laughing and gloating at the foot of the mountain.

“Little bastard, even if you are dead, I am going to burn your flesh and bones to ashes!” Withered Vine Old Monster gnashed his teeth with hatred.

He had been severely wounded, and he might lose the best position on the Fallen Star Peak if a powerful enemy were to come.

Meanwhile, Xia Xiaochong and the pig monster finally realized Lin Xun’s unfavorable situation. Their expressions dramatically changed and their hearts leapt into their throats.
