Chapter 1230 Contest for a Spot to Cross



It was the first time Lin Xun had heard such a name.

However, there was no time to contemplate it because numerous experts were already scrambling to occupy favorable positions to board the small black boat the moment it touched the shore.

Someone furiously shouted, "You’re asking for death!"

Fiery light blazed from him as he knocked aside an expert blocking his path.

The person surrounded by fiery light was a red-robed youth with bright eyes, a dignified figure, and a head of long, snow-white hair.

He was Tuoba Hun, a disciple of one of the Hidden Holy Lands in the South Wonder World, the Six Nightmare House, and an extremely powerful ancient-era genius!

"I will kill anyone who dares to approach!"

A cold voice rang out as a graceful-looking woman surrounded by faint blue light drifted over.

She also had pretty eyes that shone with zest, shapely eyebrows, and an overall outstanding appearance. However, her aura was cold as eternal ice and would make anyone shiver.

Xue Baoji!

She was an ancient-era genius from the Eastern Victory World’s Skyscrape Pavilion.

The eyes of several cultivators narrowed as they moved aside to avoid her.

However, one of the experts moved a little too slowly and was killed with a raise of her hand!

Mist-like blue light sprinkled over the dead expert and melted away his corpse.

Lin Xun immediately frowned. Although the woman was clearly setting an example, he felt that she had done so in an overly cruel manner.

Tuoba Hun’s eyes flickered in thought as he glanced at Xue Baoji. In the end, however, he didn’t make any moves, clearly acknowledging her strength.

"Hahaha, isn’t the Divine Underworld Altar that’s said to harbor a heaven-defying blessing located on the other shore of the Underworld River? That’s something I won’t want to miss out on seeing!"

Hearty laughter boomed across the sky as a rugged-looking youth rushed over like a hurricane, giving off a harsh and formidable aura.

Cries of alarm immediately followed as several people, who failed to avoid him in time, were thrown into the air before crashing into the ground.

Someone gasped in surprise upon identifying the youth, "Ancient-era genius Dongyang Ting of the Dongyang Saint Clan!"

In mere moments, three top-tier existences of the Supreme King stage appeared, causing the faces of many cultivators to cloud over.

As the saying went, you will always be inferior to someone.

In the outside world, these cultivators were renowned geniuses and dazzling individuals with great pride in their abilities.

However, ever since entering the Upper Nine Realms, they were no longer able to shine as brightly in the competition amongst their fellow heaven prides.

This also perfectly encapsulated the saying that there was always a taller mountain and a bigger sky.

Take this very moment, for example, where the appearances of the Six Nightmare House\'s disciple, Tuoba Hun, the Skyscrape Pavilion\'s disciple, Xue Baoji, and the Dongyang Clan\'s disciple, Dongyang Ting, immediately suppressed the other cultivators!

The three individuals stood on the bank of the blood-colored Underworld River, each with their unique style and aura while no one else dared to move forward.

"Oh?"

At this moment, however, many cultivators noticed a thin youth in moon-white clothes approaching the river bank as if oblivious to the presence of Tuoba Hun, Xue Baoji, and Dongyang Ting.

Tuoba Hun frowned as he cast a sideways glance at Lin Xun but didn’t say anything.

Xue Baoji\'s beautiful face grew increasingly frosty. She glared daggers at Lin Xun while giving off an aura of undisguised rejection.

"Oh? This brother isn’t displaying any powerful aura yet he still dares to approach, could he be a hidden expert?"

Dongyang Ting looked surprised, but his voice was tinged with amusement and ridicule.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun paid no attention to any of this.

The black boat was very small and could only accommodate five or six people. It was foreseeable that a fierce competition to get onboard would soon occur.

Upon seeing how Lin Xun remained calm as he ignored Xue Baoji and Dongyang Ting, Tuoba Hun couldn\'t help but be taken aback as surprise flashed in his eyes.

The icy aura emanating from Xue Baoji grew increasingly oppressive. However, she didn’t take any action for some unknown reason.

It must be noted that she had directly taken someone’s life earlier because he was a little slow in moving out of the way.

Dongyang Ting, on the other hand, was feeling slightly awkward. Lin Xun’s indifference made him feel snubbed, but he also didn’t attempt to stop Lin Xun from approaching.

Xue Baoji could no longer restrain herself and said in a bone-chilling voice, "Oh, are you still planning to stand shoulder to shoulder with us? Look here, this is where you should stop!"

She pointed to a spot about ten feet from her, indicating that Lin Xun could at most approach that point.

It was because if Lin Xun advanced any further, he would be right behind her which was a threatening spot for any expert!

Sure enough, Lin Xun stopped walking.

This caused both Tuoba Hun and Dongyang Ting to be slightly disappointed as if a potentially exciting show was teased only to be suddenly canceled.

On the other hand, Xue Baoji inexplicably relaxed at the sight of this. A cold smile rose from the corners of her lips and she said, \'\'Looks like you understand what’s good for you. If you had dared to take another step forward, you would already be dead."

Her words were clearly filled with disdain.

Lin Xun smiled faintly and did not comment.

He naturally wouldn’t allow himself to be triggered by such petty provocations.

Upon seeing Lin Xun being completely suppressed by Xue Baoji without being able to even talk back, Tuoba Hun and Dongyang Ting couldn\'t help but grow increasingly disappointed.

They inwardly wondered if they had been wrong earlier. Was he actually not a formidable expert?

The crowd in the distance could only see Lin Xun\'s back. Hence, no one realized that this quiet, seemingly low-key, and ordinary-looking young man was the fearsome Demon God Lin.

It wasn’t strange that he wasn’t recognized by anyone.

Although many had heard of Lin Xun, not many knew what he looked like.

Amidst the churning river of blood, the small black boat gradually approached and soon became clearly visible.

On the shore, the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy and tense.

Everyone was waiting and steeling themselves for the fight ahead.

Although many of them were afraid of Tuoba Hun, Xue Baoji, and Dongyang Ting, the Underworld Boat was large enough to accommodate five to six people.

This meant that there were still opportunities to board the ship!

Meanwhile, the Tuoba Hun trio were also secretly preparing themselves. They naturally didn’t dare to be negligent at this important juncture.

Before the small black boat reached the shore, a sudden and unexpected shout rang out, "Make way friend, I\'ll be taking this spot!"

A confident-looking young man wearing a jade sash and a brocaded robe strode through the air toward the spot Lin Xun was occupying.

Rumble!

He attacked without waiting for an answer. His hand transformed into a giant golden cauldron and violently smashed at Lin Xun.

It was clear that Lin Xun was the young man’s target!

Evidently, Lin Xun’s compliance without any talk back to Xue Baoji earlier made him become an easy target in the young man’s eyes!

The brocade-robed youth’s aggression naturally caused iciness to flash in the Tuoba Hun trio\'s eyes.

However, they instantly relaxed when they saw that he was only after Lin Xun.

In fact, they even began to feel a little pity for him.

A bluffing paper tiger was doomed to be dismantled. The three of them not taking action didn’t mean others wouldn’t as well.

Lin Xun genuinely didn\'t wish to make any moves at this juncture. Otherwise, he wouldn\'t have stopped or kept silent in the face of Xue Baoji\'s disdainful remark.

However, it was clear that someone had mistaken his inaction for weakness!

Although it took some time to describe, everything was happening very quickly in reality. In the face of the approaching golden cauldron, Lin Xun didn’t retreat, move, or even turn his head.

It was as if he was completely unaware of the attack!

Several people couldn’t help but have sweaty palms at this sight while others were stunned. Could they all have been mistaken? Was this seemingly nonchalant and low-key person not actually a hidden expert and had been putting up an act?

Rumble!

Just as the crowd\'s minds were racing, a popping sound boomed in the arena and the void exploded.

Lin Xun stood in place, his figure did not even move a single inch, and only his clothes were fluttering.

However, the brocade-robed youth who launched the attack let out a horrified and miserable scream, and he was thrown in a beautiful arc in the void. Afterward, he fell far towards that river of blood.

Rumble!

An enormous snow-white bone dragon suddenly rushed out from the blood river and swallowed the brocade-robed youth whole before disappearing back into the river.

It happened so quickly that he didn’t even have time to scream.

Everyone\'s jaws dropped, and they rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were seeing things.

From start to end, none of them had seen how the brocade-robed youth was defeated or how he had been thrown into the river!

All they saw was Lin Xun standing there with his hands behind his back. His upright figure faced the vast blood river without moving in the slightest.

It was extremely bizarre and inconceivable, and made many people feel an unexplainable chill.

On the other hand, the expressions of Tuoba Hun, Xue Baoji, and Dongyang Ting changed slightly as they looked at Lin Xun again.

Experts like them were naturally able to sense that although Lin Xun hadn’t moved, an extremely strong and cryptic restriction power had pulsed from him, bound the brocade-robed youth, and threw him into the river.

From how effortlessly the Supreme King expert had been bound, it was easy to imagine just how powerful this young man was.

"He’s indeed a hidden expert." Dongyang Ting laughed as he rubbed his palms together.

The corners of Tuoba Hun\'s lips twitched imperceptibly at the realization that they had nearly offended such a powerful expert earlier.

He was thankful that he hadn’t shown any hostility from start to end.

"You..."

Xue Baoji\'s expression fluctuated indeterminately. After all, she had threatened Lin Xun, demanded him to stop, and even openly displayed disdain toward him.

Before she could say anything, however, the small black boat finally touched the shore!

Whoosh!

Lin Xun disappeared from the spot and reappeared on the small black boat.

Xue Baoji instantly moved without a second thought!

She wasn\'t the only one. Everyone else was also rushing toward the small black boat.

A battle inevitably broke out.

However, no one dared to make any moves against Lin Xun, Tuoba Hun, Xue Baoji, and Dongyang Ting.

On the boat, the skeleton boatman seemed either oblivious or unconcerned about everything that was happening around it as it picked up a dusky oil lantern and hung it on the bow of the boat.
