The Prodigies War

Chapter 1616: Surpassing the Achievements of the Ancients

The night was dark.

The City of Protection where the North Sea Camp was located was brightly lit, but the atmosphere was solemn and depressing.

No one spoke.

Everyone was full of nervousness, anxiety, and uneasiness.

In the past, if they heard that the powerful experts from the Ancient Wasteland Camp were invading, they would have treated it as a big joke.

But as the bad news of the destruction of the Absolute Yin, Blood Demon, Heavenly Flame, Nine Dark camps came, they had only one feeling: Abject fear!

In less than a day, Lin Xun had led a group of cultivators to break through each camp. This thunderous offensive was enough to scare anyone.

At the moment, the powerful experts in the North Sea Ancient Domain could only place their hopes on Kun Shaoyu.

But no one knew that Kun Shaoyu was also struggling. He was depressed and tormented at the moment!

Kun Shaoyu stood alone in front of the main hall as he leaned on the railing. A cold wind was blowing, the night felt heavy and forbidding, and darkness was everywhere.

After a long while, he sighed.

It is hard to seek the dao and continue to strive as there are many divergent paths. What to do now?

Even when I draw my weapon and look around, I feel confused!

He raised his hand and patted the cold railing gently. An indescribable feeling of melancholy and loneliness came to his heart.

The passage of time was merciless. All heroes had a day when they would fall, having their corpses being subject to the cold wind and rain.

"Young Master!"

In the dark night, an old man in a gray robe rushed over in a hurry with a solemn look on his face, "The Great Luo Camp has also been defeated. With his supreme swordsmanship, Lin Xun was able to fight against tens of thousands of sword cultivators without being defeated. Their City of Protection was completely destroyed and ruined."

Kun Shaoyu's expression was blank, and he now understood Xue Qingyi’s choice.

That guy wasn’t timid. Instead, he had already foreseen that after the Flying Immortal Battle Realm came to an end, there was no one in the Nine Domains Battlefield who could possibly be Lin Xun's opponent anymore!

"Absolute Yin, Blood Demon, Heavenly Flame, East Mulberry, Nine Dark, Great Luo... Now we and the Star Fiend Camp are the only ones left..." Kun Shaoyu murmured, feeling an indescribable sense of sorrow filling his chest. He wished he could just leave without caring about anything.

Suddenly, someone came in a hurry to deliver some news, "Young Master, all the leaders of the major forces in the city are here to pay their respects!"

Kun Shaoyu was stunned for a moment. Then he snapped out of it. His eyes flashed. After a while he said, "Let them come over."

Not long after, a group of men and women arrived. They were all leaders of the major forces from the North Sea Ancient Domain and had extraordinary power.

However, everyone looked worried and anxious.

"Let me guess. Since you have all come here now, I assume it means that none of you plan on joining me in defending our City of Protection to the death?"

Kun Shaoyu glanced at everyone and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Everyone's expressions froze, and they were all a little embarrassed.

A bearded old man in golden robes with white hair finally said in a deep voice, "Young Master Shaoyu, the current situation has reached an extremely critical moment. After an internal discussion, we all believe that it is time to make a decision."

The others all nodded.

"Oh, so what do you want?"

Kun Shaoyu's expression had become colder little by little. He had already guessed some truths, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.

"Lin Xun’s momentum is unstoppable, and he is sweeping across the Nine Domains Battlefield. He has broken through the camps of six domains in just one day. It can be concluded that it won't take long before Star Fiend Camp will be defeated. Since it is like this, we...we... ”

At the end, the old man in golden robes looked as if he felt a little guilty as he was hesitating to continue.

Kun Shaoyu finished, "So do you all want to leave as soon as possible in order to avoid his inevitable attack and stay away from this city to save your own lives?"

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet Kun Shaoyu's eyes, but they obviously all agreed.

The night was getting deeper, and the cold wind was as sharp as a knife, biting to the bone.

Kun Shaoyu suddenly felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness, and his heart was so depressed that it was about to explode.

He took a few deep breaths and said, "And what will happen if I don't agree with this?"

Everyone stayed silent, and no one answered.

This question was really hard to answer.

Seeing this, Kun Shaoyu quietly clenched his hands until his veins were about to burst out from the back. He could no longer control the anger in his heart.

Wasn’t retreating without a fight incredibly humiliating?

From the ancient times to the present, in all the previous Conflicts of the Nine Domains, had the North Sea Camp ever experienced such a situation of "being frightened by the news and collapsing without a fight"?

It was just Lin Xun, leading a group of experts from the Ancient Wasteland Domain. Yet these guys were so scared that they were quivering in their underpants before the enemy had even arrived!

Kun Shaoyu was so furious that every hair on his head almost stood on end.

He was not Xue Qingyi; he was not willing to admit defeat like this, and his pride and dignity could not tolerate doing something as shameful as fleeing without a fight.

"Have…you all come to this decision?"

After a long time, Kun Shaoyu managed to barely suppress the anger in his heart. Despite that, his voice sounded like it was squeezed out from between his teeth, with a bone-chilling chill.

Everyone froze and looked at each other. In the end, they all responded with silence.

Yes!

That was what they had decided!

At the moment, the Ancient Wasteland Camp looked to be invincible, with the potential to sweep across the Nine Domains Battlefield. Fighting against them was no different from a mantis trying to block an elephant or a cricket shaking a tree.

No one wanted to die, and no one was willing to leave their dead bodies forever in the Nine Domains Battlefield.

Seeing this, Kun Shaoyu suddenly thought of Zhu Yingkong.

The Absolute Yin Camp was the first one to be defeated. At that time, Zhu Yingkong did not choose to retreat, but chose to fight Lin Xun head-on.

Why did he do this?

Wasn’t he afraid of death?

It was his pride and dignity that did not allow him to flee. Otherwise, he would have become the biggest laughing stock in the Absolute Yin Ancient Domain and would be regarded as a sinner for the ages and criticized by millions of people!

Kun Shaoyu looked dazed and muttered to himself, "What a pity. I am not as decisive as Xue Qingyi, nor do I desire to die heroically like Zhu Yingkong. I want to accept my fate, but I am also unwilling to do so. I want to fight to the death, but I am also greedy for life..."

The atmosphere had become increasingly dead and miserable.

The old man in golden robes gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Shaoyu, time is running out. The enemy army may be approaching the city at any time. The life and death of tens of thousands of lives in the city all depend on you. Please make a decision immediately!"

The others also spoke up, "Young Master Shaoyu, please make a decision immediately!"

At this moment, Kun Shaoyu was completely heartbroken. He finally understood the meaning of this phrase: “There is nothing more sad than heartbreak.”

"Let's go, let's all go."

Kun Shaoyu turned around, stood on the railing, and looked at the night sky in the distance.

My heart has withered, and my spirit has waned!

The leaders of the major forces in the North Sea Ancient Domain all raised their heads as if they were relieved and looked at Kun Shaoyu, who had his back to everyone. In the end, they turned around and left without saying anything.

When disaster struck, everyone flew away!

Once everyone dispersed, Kun Shaoyu's long hair suddenly turned snow-white under the night sky.

There was only emptiness and muddiness in his eyes.

He had cultivated for decades, and he was extremely talented and unique for his generation. He had considered himself to be as exemplary as any genius who had lived in ancient times, and his style was also as good as theirs!

In the end, I have wasted my time here, alone, with darkness approaching, in the vast mountains and rivers, with nowhere to express the hatred in my heart!

"Ah–!"

Suddenly, Kun Shaoyu screamed, and it voiced his anger, helplessness, and desolation. Like a landslide and tsunami, he vented towards the night sky.

The whole city was shocked.

When people looked at the place where Kun Shaoyu had once stood, they realized that he had long since disappeared.

That night, Shaoyu, the direct descendent of the Imperial Kun Clan, one of the Azure Blue EIght Supremes, and the leader of the North Sea Territory, lost his mind and went crazy!

In short, Kun Shaoyu had become insane.

That night, in the North Sea Camp’s City of Protection, everyone was fleeing in a panic. Every single one of them was as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog!

The tall buildings, the immense population…everything had collapsed!

…

At the break of dawn, the Grand Universe Ark carried Lin Xun and his party and appeared in front of the North Sea Camp’s City of Protection.

However, what they saw was an empty city that was completely deserted and desolate.

"Damn it, Kun Shaoyu is so despicable, just like Xue Qingyi. He ran away without a fight!"

Toady was dumbfounded.

Everyone else also looked dazed.

In one day, they had traveled around the Nine Domains Battlefield, rushing across the regions like gods sweeping across the world, destroying cities, and defeating all the other camps.

Throughout the whole journey, they had high spirits!

In the past, something like this was absolutely impossible. Like a passionate, heroic and amazing dream, it seemed so unreal.

But now, it was happening!

Even when they had broken through the Star Fiend Camp and arrived at the North Sea Camp, everyone was still quite dazed by this turnabout.

In just one day, they had swept across the eight regions, destroyed cities, and eliminated the enemy. They had come wrathfully like thunder and flooded everything like a river and sea that was condensed from light!

In the previous two Conflicts of the Nine Domains, nothing like this had ever happened.

"There are only a few people in this world who are not afraid of death. The more senior and powerful the people are, the more greedy they are for life and afraid of death!"

Shaohao sighed.

"We...really won?"

Ruowu looked around in a daze, as if she couldn't believe it.

"We won!"

Everyone else nodded.

They had trampled the other eight domains and washed away the shame of their predecessors.

The blood and tears left by countless ancestors here were repaid today!

Xiao Cangtian laughed boldly, "From today on, our Ancient Wasteland Domain will reign supreme in the Nine Domains Battlefield!”

"We won, we really won..."

Some people laughed with tears in their eyes.

Shedding tears did not mean that they were not strong. Only those who had cried understood how hard-won this victory was.

Lin Xun didn't say anything. He stood up in the air and sat cross-legged under the sky. He looked calm and solemn, and recited the dharma art that was recorded in the Great Treasury Silent Scripture.

The sky was bright, the Buddha's light was vast. Thousands of lotus flowers, as clear as glass, covered the huge city.

The atmosphere was solemn and serious, and Lin Xun also found it hard to calm down.

Today, he had finally swept through the eight regions and wiped out the Cities of Protection. How could Lin Xun not be happy in his heart?

It was an awe-inspiring feat, leading to incredible joy!

Only after experiencing the scenes of brutal fighting in the Nine Domains Battlefield could they truly understand how extraordinary this victory was to the Ancient Wasteland Camp.

In the past, they had been humiliated, were resentful, and had bowed down, but today they were finally standing out.

In the field, only Xia Zhi was standing there quietly as she wore a black robe and a hat that covered her face. It bathed her whole body in the light of eternal darkness.

So what if the Ancient Wasteland Domain had won a big victory?

In this universe, she only had Lin Xun in her eyes.

Nothing else.

On this day, Lin Xun led a group of cultivators from the Ancient Wasteland Domain to travel across the world, breaking through the other eight domains, and creating an unprecedented victory.

Who didn’t know about the history of the ancients? But now, their achievement had surpassed the achievements of the ancients!
